Chapter 8: Mistake Meeting

It was 6 pm on the dot when Cameron finally beat the traffic home. In the car, she tried to come up with an easy way to tell Hannah that they would have company tonight. In all honesty, she wanted to just take Hannah to a restaurant and have Eric meet them there. Sighing she just decided to go on with the plan and be ready for him when he got there.

As she turned the key to open the door, she was surprised when Hannah opened the door and flashed a breathtaking smile. Momentarily shocked that the door opened she jolted back.

"I need to get used to someone being in my home that does not want to do bodily harm to me." Allison sighed as she stepped into the house and kicked off her shoes.

"Sorry about that. I heard you coming off the elevator and down the hall. I wanted to open the door before you started digging through your purse for your keys." Hannah said as she took her purse and jacket.

Allison started back to her room but turned around to signal her child to follow her. "We need to talk about something and I want to get your opinion."

"I have only been here for a day and I am already getting a "talk". That has got to be a record." Hannah said as she followed her to the bedroom. Once she came to her room, she sat down on the edge of the bed and waited for her to talk.

"No, it's going to be nothing bad. I promise." Allison called from her closet as she was hanging up her clothes. It took only a few minutes to find a dark brown t-shirt and a pair of jeans. As she was putting them on she came out and sat beside Hannah. "I am going to have a friend come over tonight."

"Are you dating this friend?" Hannah asked as she turned towards her mom.

"Oh no, trust me. It is nothing like that between us. His name is Eric Foreman and he works with me at the hospital. We have been close since I came here and I have always been able to tell him pretty much everything." Allison said, pausing for a minute to finish her train of thoughts.

"But, you didn't tell him about me." Hannah finished for her, looking up at her.

"You're right. I have told him everything except you. I am not going to lie to you Hannah, I haven't told anybody about you because I always thought you would want to stay with your uncle." Allison said as she turned towards her. "He could give you a life I couldn't. It is going to be a work in progress with us for a little. We are going to have to get used to each other. I don't want you to be disappointed in me."

Hannah looked at her and sighed. "There is a lot of stuff that we need to talk about but we can do it later. Tonight, we can start when I meet someone that is important to you. Next, I will want to meet this boss that you have a crush on."

"Ha! I wouldn't count on that hun. I have a feeling that pigs would fly before he came to this house again intentionally." Allison said as she followed Hannah to the living room.

"So, when is Foreman coming over?" she asked as she started to pick up the movies that were thrown around near the t.v.

"He should be here around 7. That gives us an hour to clean up and get things ready for company."

Hannah stopped and stood in the middle of the living room with her arms stretched out. "Clean up what exactly? You keep this house spotless; I swear I could eat of the floor."

Allison laughed as she came out of the kitchen. When she looked around she noticed that Hannah was right. "Well, I will go back to my room and get a couple loads of laundry together. "I will keep an ear out for the door but if someone knocks and I don't here it then call me and I will come up here to get it."

"Ok." Hannah said as she sat on the couch and watched t.v.

What the two didn't know was that just outside the door was a visitor that was not Dr.Eric Foreman.

Hannah sighed as she flipped through the channel on the TV. After going through the channels twice, she decided to flip through the music channels. Truthfully, they were her favorite channels. As she listened to the music, she decided to leave it on the Salsa channel and put up the dishes that she washed today.

The day for Hannah consisted of watching television, messing around on the computer, and digging around her mom's apartment. Nothing to clean, nothing to wash, except some dishes they used last night. So, she studied her new school on their website and found out some things about her mom.

Other than being the cleanest person known to man, her mom loved to cook, read and watch movies. The movie selection in the apartment went from The Labyrinth to Casablanca; she owned all the Godfather movies as well as the Nightmare on Elm Street Collector's set. She even owned all the Star Wars movies on tape and DVD! The selection was as off beat as her music selection. It seemed that they had some things in common after all. The real clincher would be meeting Dr. Foreman tonight.

Hannah thought to herself as she put the dishes away. "I wonder what he'll be like."

In the midst of putting the last dish away, she heard a tapping on the door. Hannah turned her head to the hallway and waited for Allison to come and open the door. A second set of taps, only louder now, came. Hannah waited a few more minutes and hopped off the chair she was using.

"Mom, your friend is at the door! Do you want me to let him in?" Hannah asked as she walked down the hallway to her mom's room.

Allison was at the present time, under a mound of clothes that she was trying to put on the top shelf of her closet. "Sure thing, tell him I'll be there in a minute. Thanks."

"No problem." Hannah called as she walked to the door. By the time she got to the door, it seemed that the tapping had begun to sound like the shave and a haircut routine. Hannah closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she opened the door.

The person at the door looked like he was at least 6 feet tall. He had short brown hair with a slight curl to it. His face looked like he hadn't shaved for a few days and he had the most intense blue eyes she had ever seen. He was leaning on the frame of the door, with his face close to the door. From the looks of things, he was startled to see her. His eyes widened and he seemed to have jolted back a few inches.

"Hi, you must be Mr. Foreman." Hannah said politely as she stretched out her hand to shake his.

The man seemed to collect himself, as he looked from her face down to her hand. There seemed to be a trace of amusement in his eyes, when he slowly took her hand in his.

"Why yes, yes I am." He said, as he shook her hand. His grip was strong and controlling, but gentle as well. When she looked up, she saw him staring past her and in the apartment. Confused, she let go of his hand and turned her head to see what he was looking at,

There, in the doorway of the hall was her mom. At this time, she was pale and her eyes seemed to mimic his when she opened the door. The clothes that she had piled in her arms fell to the floor in a pile. Slowly the pieces came together and she turned her head back to the man at the door.

After a minute, she looked up to the man and sighed. In a small voice she asked, "You aren't Mr. Foreman are you?"

"Bingo." Was all he said as he looked down at her again, then he looked back up and smiled. Her mother had recovered from her shock and was now standing behind her with her hand on the door. "Are you going to make the cripple stand in the hall, Cameron?" he asked her mother.

Allison waived her options. There was no way to get out of this now. Looking at Hannah and back to House, she sighed. "Come in House." She said as she opened the door fully, letting him limp past her and Hannah.

All Hannah could do was stare and gape, as she stepped aside to let House into the apartment. In a timid way, she looked up to her mom and said, "Oops."

"Oops is right." House said as he turned around to look at them. "So, Cameron. Do you feel like sharing now?"

Allison shook her head and closed the door. When she turned around, she watched House and Hannah staring at each other. Hannah was staring with admiration up at the man before her. While, House was watching her daughter with a bemused and curious look on his face. "This could not bode well", she thought as she sighed again for the third time today. This was going to be a long night.

Just as she began to walk towards the two, she heard a knock on the door. "Correction," she thought, "This is going to be a very long night."
