OVER 1,000 WORDS! HOW'S THAT FOR A LONGER CHAPTER!
And once again, much thanks to Jazelle1996, she just makes my writing sooo much better.
House opened his eyes in surprise as Cameron slowly scooted over on the bed pulling him down toward her. House hooked his cane on the side of the bed and climbed on, laying on his side. He wrapped his arm around Cameron, pulling her toward his chest and burying his face in the crook of her neck.
"I missed you." House whispered.
"How long was I out?" Cameron whispered.
"Six months and seventeen days. You remember what happened?"
"Yeah." House felt her stiffen as she continued to talk. "Chrissy! I heard her crying before. Is she alright? Is she okay?" Cameron started to shake with fear. House tightened his hold on her but leaned back so he could gaze into Cameron's eyes where he saw tears beginning to form. Should he tell her about Chrissy now?
"She's fine, nothing happened to her. She just got a little fussy so I had Wilson take her down to Cuddy's office." House said, feeling a soft pain in his heart. Cameron visibly calmed down and buried her face in House's chest, breathing deeply.
"I wanna see her later." Cameron said in a muffled voice.
"Yeah, soon."
M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.
Wilson bounced a crying Chrissy in his arms trying to will the elevator to go faster. At least Chrissy was starting to calm down a bit. The elevator doors opened and Wilson burst out like a bullet toward Cuddy's office. Rushing in without knocking and with a crying baby, he was met with a death stare from the one and only Cuddy who happened to be on the phone.
"I'm sorry." Mouthed Wilson. Cuddy rolled her eyes and sent another glare.
"I'm sorry Mr. Regent, something suddenly came up, can I call you back?" Cuddy said pausing. "Yes, of course, goodbye." Cuddy hung up and let out a heavy sigh while Wilson took a deep breathe ready to shout out the good news.
Cuddy beat him to it. "What is it with you two!" Cuddy said her voice slightly rising. "Every time I get close to a donation, one of you just happens to appear!"
Wilson slightly cowered back and Chrissy stopped crying, staring at Cuddy. Cuddy stared at the two 'kids' in front of her and sighed again. "What do you want?" Cuddy breathed out heavily.
"Cameron woke up."
M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.
Cameron kissed House on the side of his thicker than normal shadowed face and neck but he didn't stir. She raised her head, nipping at his earlobe and felt House jerk awake.
"Only up for a few hours and I'm already receiving abuse? What happened to loving the cripple?" House's lips couldn't help but curve upwards as he was awarded with a 'Cameron Smile'.
"Haha, but, I wanna see Chrissy now."
"Uhh… she…"
M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.
"Cameron woke up?"
"YES!" Wilson shouted as everyone outside Cuddy's office looked in. Chrissy began in giggle.
"Illy Unk Immie!"
"Glad you're enjoying this." Wilson whispered, looking back towards Cuddy. "So could you take Chrissy so I can go back up and check her vitals?"
"Woah, woah, woah." Cuddy said, furrowing her eyebrows. "Cameron woke up, so you decide to come down with Chrissy first, before you check her vitals?"
"Well, House was there. He told me to bring Chrissy down, or rather, pushed and yelled."
"Do you really think House wouldn't check her vitals if she was waking up?"
"Well yeah… he would… but he told me to come back…"
"Leave them be, it's been six months. If anything happens I'm sure we'll hear about it."
"Okay, yeah… good idea."
Wilson put Chrissy down and collapsed on her couch while Chrissy ran over to Cuddy. Cuddy picked her up, holding her with one arm and looking down at some papers on her desk as Chrissy realized her dilemma. She had nothing to hold onto. Cuddy's neck was two far away thanks to her…ahem… attributes, and she really didn't want to touch those. Oh my…
M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.
"Oh, I see how it is, I can't spend time with you, eh?" House said playfully nuzzling her neck while hoping she would agree to wait. Cameron laughed but grabbed his chin so she could look him straight in the eyes.
"I love you, and you know what? You tend to form a special bond with someone that you pushed out of your uterus and went through ten hours of labor for. Now go and get our daughter." Cameron ended with a kiss to House's nose and tolling out of his arms. House sighed and slowly got off the bed.
"Well, I guess we're not going to christen the room… I thought the height would give us something new to work with and help us get back into the groove." House said limping out before he would have to face his wife's wrath.
Should he bring Chrissy back into the room?
M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.M.D.
Two hours had passed since Wilson burst into the office. Cuddy was doing paperwork, Wilson was reading a journal, and Chrissy was working on a coloring book.
"You think we should bring Chrissy up to see Cameron now?" Cuddy asked with her eyes still on her papers. Wilson froze. Chrissy had started crying once she had seen Cameron for the first time in six months, like that sight had awakened nightmares within her mind.
"We can't."
"What do you mean we can't?" Cuddy said looking up.
"Chrissy can't look at Cameron." Wilson said gaining a spaced out look.
"Can't look at Cameron? What the heck are you talking about?"
"Oh my god. I can't believe I was right." Wilson said speaking to himself more than Cuddy. "She's going to need a therapist… a therapist. Oh, jeez. This is going to kill Cameron."
"Wilson, what the hell are you talking about?" Wilson looked at Cuddy, his eyes beginning to glaze in tears.
"Chrissy hasn't mentioned or done anything to show she remembers Cameron for the past six months. Then for the past week she started having bad nightmares… and … and when she saw Cam in her room she started crying and screaming bloody murder. She can't look at her own mother." Wilson's head collapsed into his hands.
"So, that means Chrissy saw what happened to Cameron doesn't it?" Cuddy asked softly. Wilson nodded his head. Cuddy's head slowly turned to look at Chrissy. She didn't think Cameron could live without being able to hold her own daughter.
I love reviews! So you know what to do!
