"Oh close your mouths!" Cuddy snapped, standing in a stunning black, backless dress
Cecilia and Cameron joined her at the door, Cameron in a simple yet stylish pale green skirt and black halter top, with intricate sequencing across the top. Cecilia however had decided to get the pink dress she had placed away; it was full length, low cut and showed her off nicely.
Once their mouths were firmly shut, they took the arm of each of their respective dates, Wilson was shaking as they walked towards the cars, "Hey, its ok" Cess smiled up at him
"No, I'm fine really…you look stunning"
"You don't look too bad either! Thank you for the phone call" she blushed
"I couldn't not say it Cess, I'm sorry if it isn't what you want, but I needed to tell you" Wilson kissed her cheek before helping her into the car.
The drive to the restaurant was quiet in all the cars, Foreman and Cuddy where trying to figure out how everyone knew about them without actually being affectionate at work. House was enjoying the smoothness of Cameron's hand upon his own as he drive, their chatter was centralized around the impending proposal, House telling Cameron to keep her cute mouth shut. Wilson and Cess's car would have to have been the quietest, both keeping to themselves; Wilson's mind on how to propose and when, Cecilia's on how to tell Wilson that she wants to consider marriage and this whole friendship thing was wrong and should never have been attempted!

"Good evening, are you all ready to place your orders?" The waiter broke the silence that had fallen over the table
"Ah yes, I' would like the warm chicken salad please?" Cameron ordered
"Make that two" Cess added
"Three" Cuddy smiled
"And the gentlemen?"
"I'd like the scotch fillet with mushroom sauce and side salad" Foreman ordered
"I'll have the same" Wilson smiled up at the waiter
"I'll have the T-Bone with chips instead of salad, medium rare" House ordered, once the waiter left the silence once again engulfed the table
"So are we just going to sit here?" Foreman asked
"No of course not, we're also going to eat" House replied
"Its just I've never seen a table so dead"
"Ok then, let's talk!" Cess exclaimed, "I think tonight a celebration should be in order"
"Why?" Cuddy asked
"You and Foreman of course!" the table chuckled but still raised their glasses and toasted the new couple.

By this time the dinners had been served an eaten, cheers given to Cecilia for eating her entire meal; now came the part of the night that was causing Wilson to shake more…dessert.
"Would you like to try any of our dessert dishes?" the waiter asked the group
"Do you all want to share one?' Cameron asked the girls
"Yea, that one looks nice" Cess pointed at a strawberry and chocolate cheesecake with strawberries scattered across the chocolate fudge topping.
"Mmmm…yes that one!" Cuddy smiled brilliantly, Foreman wrapping his arm around her and placing a delicate kiss on her lips.
"I'm guessing they are having the cheesecake" House smirked at the waiter, who left them in quiet chatter
"Um, which way to the toilets?" Wilson asked his shaking becoming worse, House pointed towards the kitchens, where Wilson scurried across to.
He stopped shy of the toilets, looking back House gave him a silent nod and captured the attention of the table while Wilson snuck into the kitchen, "Hello, I'm looking for the chef preparing the order for the PPTH table?"
A tall lanky man near the back raised his hand, ushering him over, "What can I do for you?"
"Well, I need you to place this on the stem of one if the strawberries" Wilson produced the ring
"Wow, lucky girl" the chef glanced at the ring
"She doesn't know it yet, but yes. I need the waiter to place the cheesecake with the ring facing the woman in the pink dress" Wilson instructed as the chef carefully positioned the ring on the strawberry stem, adhering it with a dot of chocolate
"Waiter!" the chef called, "See this" he pointed to the ring, "Place it in front of the woman in pink" the waiter nodded, "Now if I were you, I'd hurry back"
The waiter waiting until he saw Wilson sit back down before producing the cake to the women, "Ladies, your cake is served"
All three oohed and ahhed over the delicate strawberries before Cecilia stiffened, "Um I think we got the wrong cake"
"Why?" Cameron asked ready to take a slice
"There's a ring on this strawberry" Cess exclaimed
"Nonsense" Cuddy snapped, "Oh my…" she stopped short upon seeing the dazzling ring hanging off the stem
Wilson began to redden; Cecilia was about to call for the waiter when he gabbed her hand, "I wouldn't do that"
"Why not? He gave us the wrong cake, some poor guy out there is about to propose to his love and we have the ring!' Cess exclaimed
"That poor guy is me Cecilia, I'm the one proposing…to you" he was barely able to release the last two words
Cess stopped dead, "Are you serious?"
Her question was answered when he got down on one knee in front of her, "Cecilia House, will you accept this broken mans heart and marry me?"
Cameron and Cuddy had tears streaming down their eyes, as did every other woman in the room, even the chef who had prepared the dessert was watching from the kitchen, "I…well…"
A/N: Sorry ran out of time, have class in 15mins have to walk…I know I'm the devil! Will she say yes or no?
