Disclaimer: I do not own House… give me a second to try and believe that.

The second they were through the hospital doors, Cuddy was on House. House simply began walking to his office while Cuddy simply followed him. At they elevator, House winked at Cameron and turned to Cuddy.

"Dr. Cuddy! You could at least wait until I got up to my office! Cameron is standing right here!"

Cuddy just rolled her eyes. "You're not going up to your office. You have clinic duty all day."

His face dropped in disbelief.

"You're kidding! The horror! I'll be right there. Oh, Wilson is calling you."

She turned around to see no one. When she turned BACK around, she was met with the closed door of the elevator. That man was going to be the death of her.

Inside the elevator, House was congratulating himself.

"That was perfect! I wish I could have seen her face."

His excitement slowly died as he saw the look on Cameron's face.

"What?"

She shook her head. "You have to do your hours. She'll just back log them and do you want to miss a doctor's appointment because you couldn't do a few hours?"

"But I hate it," he whined.

She set her face to determined and he sighed.

"Fine. But I get payback tonight."

She just set her face forward and when the doors opened, went to their department. She could have sworn she had heard him mumble something about pregnant women being evil.

"Twelve o'clock, Dr. house signs in."

Cuddy saw him and her eyebrows shot up.

"I know," he grumbled. " She guilted me into doing clinic duty. Evil women."

"Excuse me?" Cuddy asked.

His gaze pointedly lowered to her shirt and then he arched an eyebrow. She huffed, handed him a file, and stalked off. He turned towards the full waiting room and popped two Vicodin.

"Emma Johnson and Steve Bolden."

Exam room one was very entertaining that day. Emma and Steve had managed to get their braces stuck together. Two thirteen year olds who had been kissing and didn't want their parents to know. Great.

"Your parents will get the bill so tell them before it comes. Stop making out because you're too young for kids and tell your parents that your braces make you look like geeks. Next!"

He rolled his eyes at the next patient. He ended up having to write everything down because the moron had managed to get gumdrops stuck in his ears.

'Stop putting things in your ears. I'm going to send you down to the nurses and hopefully they'll be able to get the gumdrops out. If they can't, your earwax will become candy.'

The man's eyes widened and he shook his head. He then stuck a finger in his ear and offered it to House. House frowned and waved his hand.

"No thanks. Next!"

It took all of House's will power not to smack the next patient across the back of his head.

"How did you manage to do this?"

The patient shifted uncomfortably.

"I saw it on the Jackass movie. My friends made a bet with me that I couldn't do it. I thought that if the dude had done it with a car, then I could do it too. But I'm an art student so all we had were miniature mannequins so… OW!"

House pulled the mannequins foot out of his ass and shook his head. He handed the part to the guy and then smacked him upside the head anyway.

"Stop making bets with your friends or you'll get sucked into a cult later on in college. Get a girlfriend, too. She'll help steer you in the right direction… preferably not towards a skeleton. Next!"

When Cuddy made her rounds, a nurse notified her that House had been with a patient for an hour and a half. She went to the exam room and opened the door.

"Dr. House. Why is it taking so long for you to discharge your patient?"

As if on cue, the female patient hiccupped and a dime flew onto the floor. All kinds of change littered the floor and House turned to Cuddy.

"Meet my human piggy bank. I'm guessing that we're up to about three dollars by now."

Not knowing what to say, Cuddy just turned on her heel and went back to her office. House smirked at the patient.

"You must have some lucky pennies in you because that's the second time today that you've helped me.

In response, a half dollar flew to the floor. Apparently, lunch was on her.

House relaxed as Bach washed over him. Cameron was making dinner and he couldn't help but mull over the day's events. He was completely under Cameron's control; wrapped around her little finger. What really amazed him was that he didn't even care. Their relationship made things easier at work too. The team actually ran well together. He still made sarcastic remarks about everything but now he pulled back when he realized they were getting TOO mean. Damn woman had messed everything up. A soft shake to the shoulder roused him out of his thoughts and he glanced up into the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen.

"Dinner's ready."

He nodded and hauled himself off the couch. Pausing in the doorway, he watched her make his plate.

"Marry me."

She turned around, confused.

"What?"

"Marry me," he repeated.

She smiled softly. "I thought we already went through this. I said yes, remember?"

"Yes I remember."

He hobbled over to her and she looked up at him. He brushed a few strands of hair out of her face.

"Marry me tonight."

She squinted up into his face, trying to read him. What she found must have satisfied her because she nodded.

"Okay. Dinner first, though."

He nodded to her and sat down. Dinner first, dessert later.
