Part 4

Hours has passed and the pain in House's leg was beginning to get to him taking one hand he fiddles with something in his pocket then taking out a few Vicodin and popping them into his mouth as he lays back into this very uncomfortable chair but did he care? No, simply because she was there next to him in the bed sleeping soundly.

The next thing he knew someone was tapping him on the shoulder, cant be morning already.

"Ahh what now?" He moaned and groaned swinging his head back to look at whom was annoying the hell out of him, waking him from his precious sleep.

Not surprising it was Wilson.

"Have you been here all night?"

House stands up and walks out of the room, with his buddy in tail right after him as per usual.

"Yeah, didn't want her to be alone, she was scared as well. And you know me.. Sucker for the helpless"

Trying to form a smirk "House style" But he knew he shouldn't have bothered because as always Wilson knew when he was lying and covering up the truth to any situation.

"Yeah, try again, the truth would help."

When he didn't get a response noting that House was walking down the hall toward the cafeteria, he ran to catch up to him.

"I know you care for her I can see how hard this is on you. I cant even imagine what it must be like., having someone you love be so vulnerable and helpless and not knowing what to do."

He wondered if House was going to catch onto his hint that he just put out there wondering if he was going to respond this time.

"yeah, well you wouldn't, considering you get married more times than I have cases.. Wait.. A moment, I didn't say.. That I lo…"

But before he could finish his sentence he knew he was caught out and would never be able to cover this up, he knew James all too well and vise versa. Look like he is stuck on this one.

"Got ya" Then looking at the look on his face at what was meant to be a joke but realized it wasn't, not for House that's for sure.

"Oh man, I cant believe it. You love her, don't you?"

His eyes widen at His question, trying to think of how to answer this, trying to find some explanation but so far none came to his mind.

"I don't….ah, well yeah"

Answering in a whisper that Wilson wasn't sure that he had heard him right, maybe he should ask again to make sure.

Haha, probably wont admit it again.

"Wow, are you sick? Because I think Dr Greg House the egotistical, cold hearted bastard just admitted to something.. To having some feelings for the pretty Doctor"

House rolled his eyes at his friend, having known he would say something like that, shouldn't have said anything.
Crap why didn't I make something up, now what am I going to do now.

" You repeat that to anyone what i said anyone then you die"

Wilson couldn't help but laugh at his friends new found happiness if that's what you call it but for what it is worth he was happy for him because finally he had admitted what everyone has known for months , that is except Greg and Cameron themselves.

Cameron awoke from the best sleep she has had, well as much that she can remember but to her it feels like it has been forever since sleep was this good non of nightmares that she had the day before.

House.

Suddenly she sits up whilst looking around the room in search for the company that she had last night till she fell asleep, making her feel safe as possible.

Duh, he is a doctor must have other patients to attend to, I'm not the only one stupid. Get a grip Allison.

One or two nurses stroll in and out of her room, checking her vitals and increasing or decreasing her pain medication depending on her current condition.

"Looks like your healing, that's a good sign you just might be okay after all"

Amanda, the nurse told her with a bright smile that made her want to smile as well .

Just possibly things aren't as bad as I made them out to be. Cameron tells herself with a hint of positive attitude .

"Can… I mean have you seen Dr House?" She asked Amanda nervously not wanting to sound like she was being a stalker or anything.

"Yeah, he left a awhile ago I'm sure that he will be back, don't worry hunnie just relax and rest you'll get better much faster."

Cameron nodded sweetly as the Nurse smiles turning her back and walking out the room to tend to her rounds.

House was in Cuddy's office which was a rare case only this happened if 1. He was in Trouble which usually is he reason or 2. If he needed to talk to her about something.

"When can she be released?"

He was asking her, Lisa Cuddy was looking at some charts as one of them was Cameron's, she averts her eyes to the man who stands before her.

"Well, she seems to be improving so I guess a few days but I don't need to tell you that she wont be able to cope without some help, so maybe get her to hire a nurse to help her around her apartment."

House somehow wasn't agreeing like she had thought he would but instead he was shaking his head like she was the one missing something, something he was not telling her.

"No need for that"

Her eyes widen in confusion and non understanding what he was trying to say or if he was just rambling which wouldn't be a first time.

"What do you mean?.. I just told you she will need help for the next few weeks and maybe months it all depends on her recovery."

He smirks in satisfaction.

"Like I said there will be no need for a Nurse for Cameron because she is coming to stay with me, I will take care of her."

Cuddys jaw almost fell to the ground at these words that she sure were coming from his arrogant mouth.

"Excuse me?. Did you just imply that you are going to help out someone that needs help.?"

Raising an eyebrow and sarcastically gives her a smirk as he begins to roll his eyes at he back of his head.

"Oh don't give me that, I help the helpless, Isn't that what being a doctor is all about and for your information I am helping her , well because I could have lost her and I swore to myself that I am going to try let my defenses down every now and then, be a free spirit, take a chance as everyone keeps telling me to do"

Cuddy forms a smile around the curve of her mouth, couldn't believe that he was listening to someone other than himself for once.

"Well its about time I say"

She takes out some paper and begins to write down something down, looking at Cameron's file every few minutes than keeps writing.

"Okay well you know this is not going to be easy and I can guarantee she will not be easy on you. Its probably lucky for you that she doesn't remember you , otherwise she would yell at you for making her sound so vulnerable. Oh and by the way have you discussed this with her?"

Damn, why did she have to bring that up.

"Crap, knew I forgot something. Oh don't worry she will be fine with it, I'm sure that she wont want to be alone at any case and having someone near would be a blessing - but if it makes you feel any better I will bring the topic up to her."

But making her know she has no choice in the matter. An evil smile spreads across his face.

"Good, you should know the list of medication and stuff that you need for her, but if you forgotten here " She finished as she passes him the paper that she was writing on just a few minutes earlier, stating what she needs and what she doesn't - giving clear instruction that you would think he was babysitting a child and was given emergency numbers for the mother.

"Thanks, guess its back to General Hospital "

With that said, he takes off down the hall, putting the note in the back pocket of his jeans strolling toward Cameron's room rather than opting to go back into his lonely office to play or watch something to keep him entertained when he knew that it wouldn't do any good because there is only one place he would rather be - With Cameron.

He stands in front of her door, taking a deep breath before opening it and walking in expecting to see her still asleep but but pleasantly surprised to find her by the looks of it waiting for him. Unsure of what to feel, happy or scared. Because these two emotions usually confuse him but usually for him it's the latter.
"Hey Sleepyhead, you feeling any better than say last night?"

He smiles at her which for some weird reason made him feel good like a strange sensation suddenly awaken inside him.

"Yeah, bit better.. Thank you for last night"

She began to clam up, starting to get shy around him but not knowing why.

Do I like him? Love him? She ponders to herself, trying to figure out what is making her feel this way.

He just nodded not really saying anything but instead sat down next to her.

"I need to discuss something with you, well I'm not sure you could call it a discussion because there is no ifs or buts about this."
