Chapter 1 - Close your eyes
Close your eyes and try to sleep now
Close your eyes and try to dream
The ducklings had been working to try and figure out what was wrong with Wilson, and at first they'd believed it to be a simple virus, something they could treat with antibiotics. They'd given him some hoping it would make him better, and he seemed to be getting better before he took a turn for the worse, developing more severe symptoms that ruled out a simple virus. Wilson was mostly conscious while this was all happening occasionally slipping back into darkness again. He was confused and disorientated right now, maybe because of what was happening to his body, but there were two things - or people - that were keeping him sane. Allison Cameron, who he'd been secretly dating for the past 9 months and the only person that knew, was Katie, not that he or Cameron knew about her knowing. The second person was his sister Katie, she'd hardly left his side, except to go to the bathroom or move out of the way when something went wrong and they had to work on him.
Cameron tried concentrating on helping Wilson, but her mind was wandering again. And she found herself worrying for the hundredth time in the space of twenty minutes. She was scared. She didn't know how she'd cope if she lost him; she couldn't handle watching someone else she loved die. She'd realised months ago that she'd fallen in love with him. It had taken her awhile to move on after her husband's death, but she had and she'd found someone else. She'd been scared at first, and still was, that he'd cheat on her like he had on his previous wife. But he'd promised her that he would never cheat on her, he would never even think about another woman in that way as long as he was with her, and he'd planned on staying with her for the rest of his life. He'd asked her to marry him three days ago. But she had told him she wasn't ready yet, and that she wanted to wait a little longer, but that she definitely wanted to marry him, just not yet.
He'd been a little upset to begin with, but after thinking about it he realised he'd probably rushed into it too soon, he wanted it to work between him and Cameron and he wasn't about to lose her. He loved her more then anything.
She stepped into his room and stood in the doorway for a moment, watching him, almost afraid to approach him in case anything happened. He had his back to her and she figured he was asleep.
'' Aren't you coming in '' he asked surprising her.
'' How did you...''
'' I have eyes in the back of my head '' he teased '' Saw your reflection in the window, so you coming in or what ''
She hesitated for a moment before walking over to his bed and sitting down. Wilson rolled on his back, wincing as he moved, and looked at her. She took his hand into hers and held it, intertwining her fingers with his. The blinds had been closed on the window leading out into the hallway, so no one would be able to see what was going on.
'' Where's your sister '' she asked, noticing that Katie wasn't there.
'' Probably calling Mike and our parents '' he answered.
'' Do they know '' she asked him.
'' Who, my parents. Yes, I told them about you a few months ago, my mum wants to meet you, and so does my dad. And you've already met Katie, and you'll probably meet Mike if he comes in '' he answered smiling.
'' So how are you feeling '' she asked him.
'' Is, Dr Cameron asking me that, or my girlfriend ''
'' Your girlfriend ''
'' I'm fine Allie, don't worry '' he told her.
'' I am worried James, and your not fine. There's something wrong with you and we're trying to figure out what it is ''
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'' You should go and see him '' his friend answered, taking a sip from his pint that sat half empty in front of him.
'' I'm not sure Adam, what if he doesn't want to see me ''
'' Why wouldn't he want to see you '' Adam questioned, glancing over at his friend.
'' It's been 9 years. My parents didn't like the fact that I wanted to be a teacher and not a doctor, both my brothers became doctors, and no doubt my little sister will have become a doctor or is at med school. It wasn't what I wanted I wanted to teach.
But my parents didn't like it, so they cut me of. But it was my decision; I didn't want to do something that I wasn't happy doing. Teaching was, is my passion, I think one of the only things I'm truly good at '' he explained. As he finished the rest of his beer.
'' I didn't know. But you can't just avoid your parents, your brothers and your sister because of what happened 9 years ago. Your brother's ill, you should be there for him, you may even be able to make things up with your family ''
Adam glanced at his friend for a minute before getting up from the table and heading over to the bar, leaving him to sit alone and think about it. He took a deep breath and pulled out his cell phone, flipping it open and dialling a number before putting it to his ear.
Maybe it's a sign of weakness
When I don't know what to say
Maybe I just wouldn't know
What to do with my strength anyway

'' James ''
'' Julie, what are you doing here '' Wilson cried in surprise. He hadn't expected Julie to come and visit, let alone know that he was in hospital, in which case how did she know he was there.
'' I came to see how you were, we may be divorced James, but I still care ''
'' Who told you '' he questioned. Wondering who'd told her and why she was really there, he suspected it was just to visit him in hospital, he knew she had an ulterior motive for coming.
He and Julie were now divorced and he hadn't seen or heard from her in twelve months. So he was a little surprised to see her again after all that time, he'd been hoping to never see her again, to be able to move on with his new life with Allison, but maybe that was asking too much. If she were here asking for money or for something else she could go else where, he wasn't in the mood and right now he wasn't feeling so good, his chest felt tight and he couldn't feel his right arm, he couldn't move it at all. But he didn't want Julie to know that, so he kept quiet, he was stubborn he knew this and nothing would change that. He wasn't in the mood to be playing games with his ex wife.
The tightness in his chest became even tighter, and within minutes he was fighting for breath. He glanced down at his arm out of the corner of his eye and noticed the rash that now covered most of his arm, which hadn't been there before.
Julie's attention was suddenly drawn away from the window and back toward her ex husband, who was now fighting for breath, he looked frantic, and she'd never seen him like this. It scared her seeing him like that. She ran from the room and out into the corridor and began shouting for help. Chase and Foreman ran into the room with her when they heard her shouting, Cameron running in behind them.
'' What happened '' demanded Cameron, glancing over her shoulder at Julie. She stood back looking concerned. She glanced over at Cameron, and could tell that the younger woman was angry? She'd known about Wilson's new girlfriend for a couple of weeks, but had never met her.
'' We were just talking and then he started having trouble breathing '' she stammered.
Cameron looked away from Julie and back down at Wilson, trying not to let her anger show. She had no idea why she was angry with Julie; it wasn't as though Julie had caused this. Maybe it was because Julie was actually there visiting Wilson that was the problem. Ten minutes later they'd managed to get his breathing under control; Cameron, Foreman and Chase were leaving the room when Cameron noticed the rash on his arm. She stopped and looked at it, looking up at Wilson. She pulled back the gown he was wearing and looked at his chest, noticing the large rash that was there.
'' We'll be back later on, ok '' Cameron explained to Wilson, giving his hand a quick squeeze and giving him a small smile. He smiled back at her and nodded before closing his eyes, wanting to get a little sleep.
'' I'll um...I'll go '' Julie answered, grabbing her coat and leaving the room.
Foreman, Cameron and Chase returned to House's office where they found him sitting at his desk. But he wasn't playing his game boy. He had his back to them, and was sat in front of the window looking out of it. He had heard the three of them entering the room, but didn't acknowledge it and sat there in silence, waiting for someone to start the conversation. After it became clear to the ducklings that he wasn't going to start the conversation they decided to do it for him.
'' The drugs aren't working, and he's getting worse. He's developed a rash on his arm and his chest, and I think he's got decreased feeling in his right arm '' Cameron explained as she stood in front of House's desk with Foreman and Chase, who were standing next to her. Both looking just as worried as she was, and neither of them knowing that she was in a relationship with him, she had no idea that House was suspicious and knew something was going on.
'' Ok...'' House began '' Give him an MRI ''
Cameron nodded and left the room, Foreman and Chase walking beside her in silence, which suited Cameron just fine as she wasn't in the mood to talk at the moment, her mind on Wilson again like it had been five minutes ago.
'' Are you and House seeing each other '' Chase blurted out, surprising Foreman and Cameron.
Cameron stopped and turned round, looking directly at Chase. If this had been any other situation she'd have laughed at the suggestion and carried on walking, but right now she didn't feel like laughing.
'' No, I'm not seeing House. I'm so over him, I was over him before I started dating my boyfriend '' she explained, her voice rising, drawing the attention of a couple of nurses nearby '' If you must know CHASE, it's Wilson ''
Chase and Foreman looked at each other in shock, not expecting to hear her say it was Wilson. She looked at them a moment longer before turning round and making a dash toward the woman's toilets. They looked at each other and chased after her, reaching the lady's toilets a couple seconds after she did. They ran in, not caring that they were men and not women, caring about the looks some of the nurses were giving them as they ran in. They didn't even have to look to know which stall she was in, there was only one that was occupied and as no one else was in there they were pretty sure it was Cameron. They listened for a moment until they heard the sound of her throwing up down the toilet. Exchanging glances with each other they curiously approached the stall door. Foreman put his ear against the door and knocked, the sound of his fist connecting twice with the door sounding louder in his ear then it actually was.
'' Cam, it's Foreman, you alright '' he asked.
Chase was standing the other side of the door, looking at Foreman as he listened in, hoping she was ok. But it didn't sound like she was ok at the moment.
'' Just...leave me alone guys, I'll be ok ''
'' Cameron, we're worried. Please tell us what's wrong, maybe we can help ''
'' I'm pregnant ''

A/N2: Really sorry for the abrupt ending, but I've had writer's block and couldn't think of anything else at the moment. I also apologise for it taking so long. Sorry you had to wait guys; also sorry for the shortness of it and if it's not as good as the first chapter. But please review let me know what you think of this one. And I would also like to know where I've gone wrong and what you think needs changing.
