Chapter Four
Hospital – Patients Room
"Welcome back to the world. You're off the vecuronium" Cameron says while she watches Margo (the patient) yawn.
"could you wiggle your toes for me?" Forman says as he examines the patient's toes. Her daughter and husband stand up from where they were sitting.
"I'm sorry, but the pregnancy test came up negative" Cameron says with sympathy in her voice. Offering her comfort and support to the family. "We also did an MRI and that also came up negative".
"So what do we do next?" Margo says with disappointment in her voice.
"It could be a variety of things" Forman says as Margo takes Ted (her husband) hand, her hand spasms a little. "Some treatable. Others more serious". Forman approaches her mouth with a cheek swab. "Open up. We're gonna run a genetic test for Huntington's" Forman says as he swabs her cheek.
"That one of the more serious ones?" Ted asks.
"Yeah" Forman says as he nods his head to the couple.
"It's also possible that this is just a symptom of the fertility treatments. Now that we know you're not pregnant, we're going to start you on Tamoxifen to counteract the estrogen" said Cameron.
"Will that undo all the fertility treatments?" Margo says with worry in her voice.
"For the time being, yeah. But it could cure you" Forman says to the couple. Margo and Ted look at each other and smile in support.
"You can start trying again once we get you healthy" Cameron says with hope in her voice. Margo's arm spasms making her drop the Tamoxifen cup.
"DAMN IT!" Margo shouts angrily.
"The spasms are going to get worse now that the vecuronium's wearing off" Cameron says informing the couple of some complications. Margo suddenly looks at Stella (her daughter) and demands sharply. "What are you so scared of? I'm still your mother, I'm just a little sick". She switches her anger to her husband. "Why did you even bring her here? I told you to leave her at home!" She turns over on her bed away from the doctors and her family. Cameron and Wilson look at each other with confusion on their faces.
'What is wrong with that woman' Both Cameron and Wilson think to themselves.
House's Apartment – Living Room
'Damn it! What was I thinking when I kissed her. I don't want this. She's too good for me. Why would she want to go out with an old, crippled drug addict with an attitude' House thinks to himself as he sits down on the piano stool and starts playing and singing softly Four seasons in one day' by crowded house'.
Four seasons in one day
Lying in
the depths of your imagination
Worlds above and worlds below
The
sun shines on the black clouds hanging over the domain
Even
when you're feeling warm
The temperature could drop away
Like
four seasons in one day
Smiling as the shit comes down
You
can tell a man from what he has to say
Everything gets turned
around
And I will risk my neck again, again
You can take me
where you will
Up the creek and through the mill
All the things
you cant explain
Four seasons in one day
Blood dries
up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons in
one day
It doesn't pay to make predictions
Sleeping on an
unmade bed
Finding out wherever there is comfort there is
pain
Only one step away
Like four seasons in one day
Blood
dries up
Like rain, like rain
Fills my cup
Like four seasons
in one day
"I never new you could sing. Piano I guessed, but sing. You don't seem like a singer" Cameron says daringly as she enters his apartment silently. 'He has such an amazing voice. Something else to add to my list about the things that I love about House'.
"And you don't seem like someone who would break into an apartment building" House snaps back at her before he can stop himself.
"Ooh, someone seems a little snippy this evening, have you been taking lessons from Forman" Cameron replies coolly and she glares at him. 'I won't let him walk away from this. He was the one who kissed me! What happened?' "House what is your problem. I came over here because I thought we should talk about what happened earlier on today. Are you going to turn around and talk to me or stare at the piano keys all night?"
"Did you ever consider that maybe today was just me relieving my sexual tension" House says to Cameron as he reaches for his Cain, stands up and turns around to face her.
Cameron replies "Oh, so is it sexual tension when you see your boss continually staring at you every chance he can, and throwing death glares at male nurses who flirt with me. No House, I call that jealously. You're just too much of a coward to admit to yourself that you have feelings for me. Stop patronizing me like I'm an idiot House. Because you're the idiot." She almost shouts in his face.
"Cameron…Allison" House stumbles to himself quietly. "I can't put you through this".
"Put me through what House" Cameron sighs annoyed. 'I have to get out of here or I'll do something I'll regret'.
"Cameron, I don't do relationships. You no that! Look at my relationship with Stacey. I don't want that to happen to me and you" He finishes off quietly. Cameron smiles to herself and steps closer to him, they are now nearly nose to nose. "House you know I'm nothing like her. I love you too much to do what that bitch did to you. Let's try this please. Give us a chance" Cameron begs to House as a tear rolls down her cheek.
Instead of answering he softly touches his lips to her lips. They both smile. "I think I can do that" House replies before capture her lips again in a passionate embrace. "Do you wanna……?" House replies with a smirk on his face. She nods as House leads her down to his bedroom.
