Hello, chapter 3 here, enjoy.

"Yeah?" Shelly said on the other end of the phone.
"Have you got any more of those text messages?" Cameron asked.
"Nup, why?" Shelly answered.
"Don't worry, I just had a thought," and with that Cameron hung up the phone.

Chase sat on his couch, beer in one hand channel changer in the other. He had given up on the marriage thing, figuring out his friends would call him and fess up after a while. His phone started wringing and he picked up excitedly, hoping it would be one of his 'mates'. Bugger He thought. It was just Cameron.
"Hello?" Chase said.
"Hey, I need to ask you something," Cameron said nervously
"Go ahead," Chase said, putting his feet up on the coffee table, expecting Cameron to ramble on about nothing.
"You know how I am friends with Shelly, I know you guys went out for a while back in med school," Cameron said cautiously.
"So?"
"She was in New York last weekend as well, with her old med school friends to,"
"We were in totally different year levels with different friends," Chase said.
"I know you to hate each other bu---" Cameron was cut off by Chase letting out a gasp.
"Oh shit, why didn't you just say it straight?" Chase said angrily, "You thing I'm married to her!"
"I don't know but it does seem possible," Cameron answered. Chase hung up. He couldn't believe it. He quickly dialed the number for one of his friends.
"HOW COULD YOU!" he roared down it as soon as he picked up, "YOU IDIOT! YOU HOOKED ME UP WITH MY EX!"
"Hey settle down blondie, sounds like you figured it out,"
"You know we don't get on," Chase said, slightly calmer.
"Yet you work in the same city in the same hospital, how did that come around?" Chase hung up in a rage. He picked up the phone to call Shelly but then decided yelling at her too probably wasn't the best idea, so he called Cameron.
"Hey, um..have you told Shelly?" He said as soon as she picked up.
"Ah no, if you are talking about what I think you are," Cameron said, tension in her voice.
"Well, are you going to tell her," Chase said holding back.
"Yeah, I was planning on it, I figured I was already involved," Cameron answered honestly.
"Does she…" Chase trailed off.
"Before you do, she doesn't remember a thing either, she keeps getting riddles of text messages from her friends."
"Does she still live at that apartment in high street?" Chase asked.
"Um, I think its better if I tell her first though, she might get angry at me if…" too late, Chase had already hung up.

Shelly lay in her bed with her long blonde hair lying on her shoulders. She was looking at a gossip magazine when their was a knock at the door.
"Hi," she said.
"Hey, this won't be easy but…." Chase said, "You were in New York last weekend?"
"Yeah, I was in New York," She answered frustrated, " I won't yell at you if you don't yell at me,"
"Fine, look, I need to tell you something,"
"Well, get on with it," she replied.
"Cameron told me you were getting weird text messages, but before you get cross, she only told me that because I was the other half of the puzzle,"
"What on earth are you talking about, you being the other piece of the puzzle?" she continued puzzled.
"Apparently we're married," Chase blurted out, "I didn't remember either, ask your friends its…" the door was slammed in his face.

"Did he come around last night?" Cameron asked Shelly as she walked into work the next morning.
"Yeah,"
"Did you talk?" Cameron asked, following after Shelly as she got in the lift.
"I don't appreciate it if this is some kind of malicious joke, because it isn't funny,"
"Why would I play a joke like that on someone? I'm not like House!" Cameron said.
"So, is it true?" Shelly said in a hopeful voice.
"I think so, look, maybe you should actually talk to him, not all bad will come out of it," Cameron said.
"Do you always have to be so nice?" Shelly complained, leaving Cameron as she got out of the lift.
"You on for lunch?" Cameron yelled out.
"Yep," Shelly replied

House was still pondering the thought that Chase couldn't possibly be married. When Wilson walked into the conference room House was starring at the desk which had nothing on it.
"You know, as much as you look at that desk nothing is going to happen," Wilson said, jabbing House with his finger. "Your minions are waiting," Wilson added as House looked up.
"Thank you my Wilson," House said, getting up.
"Where's Chase?" Foreman said as House and Cameron entered from different places simultaneously.
"His wife isn't all she is cracked up to be," House said.
"You know?" Cameron said puzzled.
"Yeah, Cameron, you're not the only one that he loves,"
"When did he tell you?" Cameron said puzzled.
"Enough with the 20 questions, we have a sick patient and a missing duckling," House said smirking. At that moment, Chase walked in. His shirt was unbuttoned at the top and his tie was draped around his neck rather carelessly.
"Sorry, slept in," he said, taking a seat while the other three watched his every move. Foreman let out a laugh and Cameron gave him a gentle flick around the ear before walking over to Chase and patting him on the shoulder.

Chase walked into the locker room. Finally it was the end of a very long day. He walked over to the locker where he kept his stuff and pulled out his bag.
"Hey," he heard from behind him.
"Hi," he said in reply, knowing exactly who it was.
"I'm sorry about last night, I called Nat, she said it was true,"
"You think I wanted to come around to your place?" Chase said, turning around, seeing Shelly with her red puffy eyes.
"I still…" she trailed off.
"You still what?" Chase answered confused.
"I still love you," she said quietly. Chase just looked shocked at her in response. "I'm really sorry I thought you cheated," she continued.
"I'm sorry you thought that too," Chase said, taking a step towards her.
"But you weren't exactly forthcoming with information," Shelly said in defense of Chase's comment.
"You ever been married before?" Chase asked.
"I have to go," Shelly said.
"Shelly, wait," Chase said, gently grabbing her arm and pulling her back, "I love you to,"

"I knew Chase was married but not to who," House said to Cameron as she entered the room, handing her a piece of paper.
"You are a real jerk," Cameron said, snatching it off him and shoving it in her pocket.
"It's not my fault if he leaves envelopes around the place, especially for longer than a day," House continued. Cameron looked confused. She picked the paper back out of her pocket and unfolded it. It's their wedding certificate. "Don't thank me, Wilson found it," House said. Cameron ran off to the locker room where she last saw Chase.
