TAKE IT ALL AWAY
Chapter 3
After the events of 'Hunting' I thought I'd expand A little. Since there are so few Chase/Cameron fics I thought I'd write one and see how it goes… Thank you for all the reviews Redid this chapter, needed it to be a longer time period…
Almost two months had passed since Cameron's abrupt departure and Chase was still searching for any kind of explanation for it.
Why would she just leave without offering any clue to why she was going or where she was going to? More importantly why hadn't she told him?
Foreman, though he knew the most likely candidate for 'why' she had up and left, had no intention of breaking his word to Cameron.
They were sitting in the differential diagnosis room like so many other mornings. Chase walked in, lack of sleep clearly evident now.
"Morning," he mumbled, searching for the coffee he'd pretty much been living on.
House came in moping about actually having to take a case. "Morning Foreman, Chase, Cameron," House said, then turned to face Chase, who was now glaring daggers at him. "Oops."
This had apparently set the Australian off. "How can you two just sit here. We have NO IDEA where she is! How do you know she's even still alive? What if someone made her call you, House?" he said, expressing what had been eating at the back of his mind for weeks.
House scoffed. "Was it something I said…?"
Foreman rolled his eyes; that had been mildly cruel.
Chase had made it to the door before anyone spoke.
"Is Chase the only one who doesn't know why she left?" House asked, question directed more at Chase than at Foreman, whose glare verified the fact that he did, indeed, know.
Chase whirled around. "If you honestly know why she left, tell me. Now!" he growled.
Foreman stayed quiet, leaving Chase to glare at House. "She's pregnant, you moron."
"What!" Chase blinked.
Foreman, now intrigued spoke up. "How did you come to this conclusion?"
House inhaled, prepared to rattle off a list of things that had led to this assumption. "One: Caught her throwing up. Two: She avoided several foods. They were serving fish that day I believe, not really a hot button when the morning sickness sets in. Three: She had to have gone to the bathroom at least eight times the other day." He said, and then turned to Foreman. "Not to mention I saw the test you ran on that blood. Human choriogonadotropins, clever really."
"You knew, too?" Chase said, glaring at Foreman, who nodded. "When did you find out?"
He sighed. "A few hours before she left I called her and told her. She didn't know I'd run the tests." Foreman admitted.
Chase fell back into the chair, head rested in his hands. "Why did she leave…" he asked himself.
"Oh. Boy! Looks like I won't have to watch General Hospital today, we're having our own showing right here," House said grabbing a chair.
Chase shot a glare at him before standing up and grabbing his jacket. "I'll be back when I find her!" he yelled to them.
Okay… I know, rather short… Love the Reviews!
