A/N: Still need a beta! Thank you to all of you who sent reviews!
I'm sorry for this being so short, but most of my other stories are one shots or just really long, cause I'm not good at breaking for chapters. So, anywho, here it is
Last time:
"When Danny married and just before they moved to Europe, Danny asked Allison to take care of his estate and whatever children that he and his wife would have should anything happen. And since Danny never drew up another will or any other documentation, Allison is now Charlotte guardian."
"I'm sorry, what?" House asked. He didn't quite release his hold on the girl, but loosened enough to let her wiggle free.
"Both Allison and Danny signed papers that if something should happen to either of them that everything would go to the other, including children. I met Danny in college and I don't know what happened between the two and their parents, but both were adamant that nothing go to their parents."
"Foreman, call Cameron. Yell in to the machine if you have to, but get her on the phone." House stated in sort of a daze.
"Allison has some papers to sign about taking custody and about the rest of Danny's possessions." House just rolled his eyes at the lawyer/best friend for stating the obvious.
No one was listening to Foreman as he spoke to Cameron's machine.
"I'm going over to talk to her. Foreman, bring them over in an hour," House gestured to Jason and the baby that was wondering around the room.
"House, how to plan on getting on getting in if she doesn't answer her door?" Chase asked.
"I plan in using my powers of telekinesis to manipulate the lock." House turned and left with scowl firmly in place.
After knocking on her door for a few minutes, House used his key to enter the apartment. Everything was so still as he entered no TV, no music, and no running water. It appeared as though she weren't even home, but her car was parked outside. He made his way back to her bedroom and found her sleeping in his t-shirt and boxers surrounded by pictures and open albums.
"Allison, you need to wake up." He said quietly sitting down next to her.
"Allie come on." He gently shook her shoulder.
"Hey," she said before her eye even opened.
"How did you know that I wasn't Foreman?" He kidded her.
"Foreman doesn't call me Allie and he doesn't smell like you."
"You saying I smell?"
"Yes, but you smell good. I can't even describe it. It's just you." She smiled up at him.
"Why didn't you call me about Danny?" her smile disappearing immediately with that question.
"I just wanted some time to myself. I'm sorry."
"That's ok. I'm here because a lawyer friend of Danny's come to the hospital looking for you."
"Jason? What did he say?"
"That you get Charlotte and that Danny left everything else to you. I don't know what the 'everything else' is though."
"I don't have to go to the hospital to sign all that stuff right?"
"No, Foreman is going to bring them here in about a half hour. Why don't you get up and shower. Get ready for the day. I think it's time we tell Cuddy and I'll stay home with you the rest of the week."
"OK, if you want." She pause before saying,"It slipped my mind that we had those papers drawn up so long ago. It was just after Danny and Sarah got married. They seemed so perfect for each other. And then when she found out she was pregnant. I've never heard a more unhappy person. About a month after Charlotte was born Sarah left. Danny guessed that she was planning that since long before Charlotte was even born, because within days of Sarah leaving he was served with divorce papers and paper work to terminate her parental rights. Danny and I had always had some hope that Sarah would come back even if it was only in the capacity of just being there, but she never came back. Charlotte's 18 months old, and I felt bad, because Danny kept hoping that Sarah would change her mind. I know he was a great dad, but how great can you be if you keep hoping that someone is going to come back?"
"I know. You'll be a good mom to her, so don't worry about that."
"Thanks," Cameron leaned in and kissed him, "I'll get ready now. I suppose that isn't enough time for you to join me?"
"Nope, you have 20 minutes now."
Next Time: Don't hold me this is cause I may change my mind...House and Cam discuss where she's going to put a baby in her place and the signing of the papers.
Leave review, they make me wanna write more...I may even crank out more than one chappy today...it's still early in the day and crappy American Idol is pre-empting House tonight.
