Just a quick warning my rating goes up a bit for this chapter so beware.
A few hours later Foreman came looking for House, regarding their patient a fifteen month old toddler with a high fever, and skin rash. The child taken a turn for the worse, she had a seizer and was now unresponsive. He didn't want to bother House especially after everything that had happened with Cameron, but he was at a loss as for what to do next.
Pausing in front of the door to Cameron's room he wasn't sure if he should knock or just go in. Deciding it would be better to just go in and not run the risk of waking her up if she was already sleeping. Foreman slid the door open and stepped into the room closing the door behind him. He stopped just inside the door letting his eyes adjust to the darkened room, the only light was coming from the TV a late night airing of the Simpson's. Scanning the room he found House with Cameron curled up against him in the bed. His hand was resting against her exposed stomach, just below the heart monitor.
"Can I help you Dr. Foreman?" Foreman almost jumped out of his skin at the sound of House's voice, he could have swore he was asleep.
"I uh," Foreman cleared his throat before continuing not letting House get to him. "Our patient had a seizure when her fever spiked, she hasn't woken up yet." Foreman tried to hide his discomfort, by shifting a few papers around in the patients file. He couldn't look at House the same way when he had Cameron curled up in his arms, stroking her bare stomach.
"Take her off of the steroids, up her dosage of acetaminophen, and put her on a saline drip. Now if you don't mind, I was sleeping before you came in and started gawking at me," that wasn't really the truth, he hadn't been sleeping far from it in fact. He was thinking about his first date with Cameron he wasn't really sure why, but the small jewelry box in his coat pocket might have something to do with it.
"Alright," Foreman muttered heading out the door.
"Keep me updated," House called out just before the door closed. His mind drifted back to that night over a year ago now, but it felt like it was yesterday.
He had taken Foreman's advice and been an ass. He should have known Cameron wouldn't buy it, she had sat in her chair for all of five seconds before she had called him on the bullshit he had just spouted off at her. Then she had taken his hand and pulled him out of his chair, House threw a few bills down on the table, before Cameron pulled him towards the door. She wasn't willing to let her one night with him go down like this, so she had dragged him back to his car. Sticking her hand out for the keys, he reluctantly handed them over to her, and slipped slipping into the passenger seat next to her.
Cameron pulled the car out of the parking lot a little faster than House would of liked, grinning when he muttered something about crazy woman drivers under his breath. She quickly made her way down the street pulling into another parking lot a few minutes away.
"McDonalds?" House asked when Cameron pulled into the drive thru line.
"Now you can't say I didn't feed you,"
They ordered their food, a quarter pounder with cheese value meal for Cameron and a big and tasty meal for House. With food in hand Cameron set out on the road again while House happily munched away on his fries occasional offering her one.
Cameron drove to a small park that was hidden from the road, she grabbed the bag of food before getting out. She waited patiently by the back of the car for House to catch up to her.
"You know if your taking me in here to kill me, someone will notice. Wilson comes over every once and a while to make sure I'm still alive." House half mumbled to himself as he followed Cameron into a patch of the woods.
"Come on, we're almost there," Cameron replied to his complaining as she maneuvered through the woods towards their destination. Carefully avoiding any areas where there might be tree roots that would trip House.
"Almost there…that would help if I knew where 'there' was…" House mused just as they stepped through the brush and into an open area, the moon light reflecting off of the small lake. Cameron quickly laid out the blanket she had grabbed from his trunk, and set up their food before offering House a hand in sitting down.
"We left one of the best restaurants in Princeton to eat McDonald's on the ground in the dark?" House asked, refusing her hand and lowering himself down to the ground next to her, stretching his legs out in front of him.
"Yes," Cameron answered afraid that her plan had back fired and he was just trying to come up with a way to get his keys back.
"Good, just checking," House said simply. As he dug into his burger, he took his time to look around at the place that she had all but kidnapped him to bring him to. It was a small clearing in the middle of the woods with a lake…well, more like a pond, off to the side.
He looked back over at Cameron she seemed to be almost glowing. He quickly looked away unable to see her like that, he was suppose to be an ass and scare her away not sit out in the woods under the moon light with her. And he definitely wasn't supposed to be thinking about whether or not they would get caught if he decided to forego the miserable bastard that was in his head and have his way with her right then and there.
After finishing his food House lay back on the blanket staring up at the sky it was safer than looking at Cameron. At least he thought it was, until he felt her rest her head on his shoulder. He looked down at her, thoughts racing through his head as to what he should do. It was the smart thing to just push her off. He should push her off. His brain told his arm to push her off, but it didn't listen. Instead, it wrapped around her and pulled her in closer.
She raised her head up slightly to look at him, and deciding to just throw caution to the wind. She leaned down over him gently brushing her lips over his, pulling back slightly to watch his reaction.
When he didn't push her away or run screaming for the car, ok well limp, she took it as a good sign. But he wasn't exactly responding, either. Cameron decided to ignore that part. Leaning down to capture his lips again, there wasn't anything gentle about this kiss. Her lips demanding and unwavering as she shifted in closer, her upper torso resting on top of his.
House's other hand slid down her back and to her hip, pulling her body flush against his. His lips broke away from hers when his body demanded air, and his lips and tongue made a wet trail from her mouth to her ear. He nibbled softly where her neck met her shoulder, her soft moan egging him on.
His mind was screaming at him to stop, that this wasn't right. That he would only end up hurting her, and he would leave her broken and bitter just like him. However all rational thought left him as she shifted her body, he couldn't stop the moan that escaped his lips as she brought their bodies into more intimate contact. At that moment he needed her more than his next dose of Vicodin.
His hand left her hip and retreated up her back as he claimed her lips once again. He made quick work of her zipper, pausing slightly before moving the offending garment out of the way of his eager hands. She quickly freed him of his tie, her fingers stumbling over the small buttons of his shirt. She struggled with it for a few moments before giving up and just giving it one hard yank sending the buttons flying.
"Awfully impatient now, aren't we, Dr. Cameron?" House murmured against her lips, Cameron didn't bother replying. She was too distracted by House's hands slipping under her dress.
When they finally came together it wasn't perfect, but it wasn't suppose to be. Everything else seemed to slip away for the moment nothing else mattered, there wasn't any repercussions for their actions. They were simply two people finding a little bit of happiness in a fucked up world. They both tumble over to the edge together desperately clinging to one another.
"I never knew you were such an Exhibitionist," House murmured breathlessly awhile later, pushing Cameron's sweat soaked hair out of her face.
"What can I say? You bring it out in me," Cameron replied placing a kiss against the side of his neck before moving off of him. Grabbing her dress before tossing House his clothes, she didn't want to get caught in a compromising position.
After that night they had decided not to tell anyone what really happened instead they kept their reply's short and simple and changed the subject as fast as possible. Whenever anyone asked how their date went. Of course Wilson had figured it out a few days later, but he wasn't going to say anything.
House was brought back to the present by an insistent kicking against his side. He wasn't kidding about the twins keeping him awake. It wasn't a totally uncomfortable feeling, especially not after everything that happened today he actually welcomed it. It was a nice reminder that his munchkins where still tucked away safe and sound right where they should be. Not that he would ever admit that out loud.
Cameron woke up the next morning alone in bed. Looking around the room she spotted House's spare game boy and I pod on the table next to her bed, there was a note sitting on top of them. In case you get bored. G. Cameron smiled at the sweet gesture, before pushing aside the blanket to get up. She was only aloud to get out of bed to go to the bathroom and that was it. She quickly took care of business and headed back to bed, she hadn't even been on complete bed rest for a day and she was already sick of it. She wasn't the type of person that could just lay around and do nothing, but if it would keep her babies safe then it would be worth it.
She picked up the I pod flipping through the list of songs, she wasn't really in a music mood so she sat it down and opted for TV instead. Flipping through the channels she came across a rerun of viva la bam. She loved that show House had turned her on to it a few months ago, and she had been hooked ever since. Cameron curled up against the pillow House had used the night before. She didn't have very many cravings, but House's scent was something she couldn't get enough of. Hell she couldn't get enough of House in general.
