A/N: I had hoped to produce longer chapters for you guys, but the next 2 are going to be kinda short and I feel bad. Chapter 6 will be up :crosses fingers: tomorrow. It just has to be betaed. The sad new is that it's going to be a few days before I post anything after chapter 6. I really need to work on my other story. And I really do appologize for the uber short chappy. :-( Hope you like it.
Chapter 5
"You know this isn't going to work forever." House said as Cameron pulled Charlotte from the play pen to change her diaper.
"What's not going to work forever?"
"Us having a night together, just being able to leave her in the playpen. She's eventually going to be too big to leave in there," House stated.
"So what are you saying?" Cameron asked as she pulled the wipes from the diaper bag. She was dying to get this girl potty-trained.
"I'm saying that maybe we've been together for a while now and you need to move because you only have a one bedroom apartment. And I don't have enough space to set up for a kid here."
"Are you saying what I think you're saying?"
"What is it that you think I'm saying?"
"Don't answer my question with a question."
"Come on, stay on topic."
"No, you're saying and this is what I hope you're, or I'm going to be quite embarrassed and really disappointed, that you want to move in together." She said, fastening the new diaper to the baby.
"Yes, but we need to find a bigger place."
"Are you sure you want to do this? I'm just asking cause this isn't just us moving in together. That's huge enough as it is. But...but there's a child involved now and I'm not going to put her in a situation where-"
"Allison, I'm not going to do anything to-"
"No, no, I know you wouldn't do anything to hurt me or her. All I'm saying is that we're going to be an us for a while. And I want to make sure that's what you want...you have to be all in for this to work."
"Yes, that's what I want. I love watching the two of you together. Maybe one day-"
"Maybe someday, but not now. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the one I got."
"Ok, but the moving thing?"
"Only if you're sure and we'll look for something on ground level."
"I'm sure, I wouldn't have said anything if I wasn't sure. That would be lying."
Cameron laughed. "Oh, heaven forbid."
Their realtor was a character. Her name was Ronnie. She had big hair, tacky suits, and a nasal voice. Cameron suspected the only reason he hadn't up and left to find their own place was because the mocking stock was incredibly high with this woman. They were about to go see the first place she had found...it was a brownstone and supposedly a "children's house" whatever that meant.
The door-bell chimed throughout the apartment. Cameron had Charlotte positioned on her hip and was trying to balance the small child and a diaper bag. The act in itself wasn't too hard...it was the initial picking them both up. For this reason, it was House who answered the door. On the other side was a woman about Cameron's age with harshly straight blonde hair and uncompromising blue eyes. In theory she was beautiful but in reality, she was kind of scary.
Cameron's mouth dropped when she saw her, but the woman seemed prepared for anything and spoke coolly. "Allison."
Cameron bristled at the arrogance of the woman. Well, best to fight fire with fire. "Sarah."
