Secrecy

Summary: Secrets don't stay secrets for long. At least, not around Dr. Gregory House.

Disclaimer: I do not own these characters.

A/N: I honestly don't know why I had House do that. Probably would have been cuter if James just showed up with the baby. :shrug: Whatever. Thanks for the reviews!

;Chapter 5;

Cameron was outside sitting on a bench, thinking about what her and Wilson were potentially about to do. Was she ready for something like this? Getting married right now would be a huge step for her. Imagine adopting a newborn. She wasn't sure she could handle it.

The passing thought of marriage sent a slight shudder through her body. She loves Wilson. She truly does. But she didn't know if she wanted to take that big step. Again.

"You look deep in thought." A male voice said beside her, startling her and causing her to look over.

"Dr. Charles, what are you doing here?" She stood up and they hugged briefly.

"Thought I'd stop in and see how you're doing." Dr. Sebastian Charles smiled at her and looked her over. "You look good."

Cameron felt her cheeks heat up a bit. "Thanks." She bent her head down a little.

He took her arm and they sat down on the bench. "What were you thinking about? Anything I can help with?"

Cameron shook her head. "No. Just some big decisions I have to be making soon."

"I hate to drop another one on you but I could really use your help." Dr. Charles reached over and took her hand gently. "Come back to Africa with me, please."

"I can't. I wish I could. But my boyfriend—"

"He can come too." Sebastian interrupted, turning his body toward her. "We could really, really use the help."

"I have to think about it." She replied softly.

Sebastian nodded and reached into his pocket, pulling out an envelope. "Here's your plane ticket and some money in case you change your mind. I'll be in town for a few days."

She reached for the envelope and tried to take it from him, but he had too tight of a grip on it.

"Think about it, Dr. Cameron. Please." Dr. Charles let the envelope go and stood up, kissing the top of her head before walking away.

"Great news," Foreman began, walking into House's office with Chase trailing behind him. "The mother is going to be okay. At least for the next few years." He added, glancing at Chase.

House nodded slowly. "That is great news. Good job."

"I heard Cameron and Wilson were going to adopt the baby." Chase said, earning a weird look from Foreman.

"Where did you hear that?" The African-American doctor asked.

"The mother. Weren't you listening?"

"No, sorry, I was too busy doing my job."

"What are you guys talking about?" Cameron asked, walking in.

"The mother is going to be okay." Foreman informed her.

"Oh that's great! I love happy endings." Cameron leaned against House's desk, smiling.

"You're okay with this?" House asked.

Cameron looked back at him and nodded. "I'm not ready for a kid, House. Let's face it, I'm still young and there's still so much I want to do and see before I make that kind of commitment."

"Like what?"

Allison took a deep breath. "Like Africa."
