Chapter 6- Reassurance

The next morning Cameron sat in her favourite coffee shop.

Sipping her latte she watched the world go by, happy to have just a little break from it.

"Hey, Ally"

Allison glanced up.

"Hey, Eric".

Eric Foreman sat down and flagged a waiter. Ordering quickly he turned back to Allison.

"So…", he waited patiently.

Over the years, Eric had become a brother to her and her main confident.

"Stacey's back", she said simply.

Eric's eyes bobbled, "She's back! What do you mean she's back?"

Allison shrugged, "She's back. Greg and Addie saw her the other day".

Eric was silent for a moment, "Addie met her?"

"Yeah", Allison laughed, "She said she didn't like her".

Eric smiled, "What did House say?"

Allison gave Eric the same familiar look, "You know Greg"

Eric nodded, "Unfortunately, I do. But I also know he loves you".

Allison sighed, "I know, but…"

"But she brings up old issues", Eric finished for her.

She nodded, "Yeah".

"Does Addie know who she is?", Eric asked.

Allison shrugged, "Sort of. I gave her the shortened version".

He watched her carefully, "Did House say anything?"

She frowned, remembering their conversation from last night.

"Were you even going to tell me?", Allison asked, strangely calm.

"Of course!", House insisted.

She shrugged, "When?"

"When Addie wasn't around to get stuck in the middle"

Allison sighed and collapsed on their bed, "I told her".

House's eyes boggled and he took a deep breath.

"Why?", he asked through gritted teeth.

Allison glanced up surprised, "She has a right to know that her father's ex is in town".

House's eyes flashed, "It's my right to tell her. I might not want her to know".

Allison stood up and drew herself up to her full height to meet House's gaze, "It's my right to isn't it? Cause last time I checked we were still married and Addie was my child too".

House sighed and put his head in his hands as he sat in the arm chair in the corner if their bedroom.

Allison replicated his action by slumping back onto the bed.

"We're in a big mess aren't we?", she sighed.

House nodded, "You know I don't love her. I love you. You're my Ally".

Allison smiled at the nickname, "I know. I love you too, Greg. But she brings up old issues".

House nodded in agreement, "I know, but we are probably never gonna see her again. She's just here seeing her sister".

Allison shook her head, "I don't care, as long as I don't have to see her".

House got up from his seat and walked over to his wife. Looking down at h a huge smile came across his face.

Grabbing her arm he pulled her to him, "I love you".

That natural smile that House loved filled Allison's face.

"I love you too".

"Did you know that the name Stacey means resurrection or reconciliation", Allison said suddenly.

Eric raised an eyebrow, "Really?"

Allison looked away, fiddling with her now empty coffee cup.

"We were talking, me, Greg and Addie, about the different meanings of our names".

She explained the conversation to Eric.

"So, last night I Googled the name Stacey and it means resurrection or reconciliation".

Eric reached over and placed a comforting hand on Allison's arm.

"Ally, it's OK. I think you're over reacting"

Allison smiled at her friend, "I think you're right".

A grin came across his face.

"You could always do my idea", Eric said casually.

"What?", Allison joked, "Divorce the ass and get the ass-ets?".

Eric chuckled, "It was a good idea".

"Yeah, I guess. So how's Joy?", she asked, hoping to change the subject.

Eric smiled, thinking about his four month old, "She's great! Cutting her first tooth and you know how that is. Keeps me and Andie up at night with her crying".

Allison smiled sympathetically, "I sure do. Tell Andrea I'll get those baby books to her by the end of the week".

She was referring to Eric's wife of two years, Andrea. She's an endocrinologist that Allison went to college with and she was more than happy to set them up. Three years later, they were married with a four month old and trying for more.

They chatted for a while until they had to go their separate ways.

As they stood to leave Allison wrapped her arms around Eric, "Thanks for everything"

He smiled, "That's OK. Anytime".

She kissed him on the cheek and he squeezed her hand.

"Remember. House loves you", he reassured her.

Allison nodded, "I know. See you at work".

He was head of Neurology at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital while Robert Chase was head of the ICU at Princeton General.

Eric nodded, "See ya"

"Bye", Allison waved him off before turning to go home, reassured from her talk with Eric.
