Found a boo-boo! Sorry, y'all! It's a pain to export and repost without my laptop kicking me off. It's a miracle I'm able to post a chapter w/out it kicking me off. But Wilson put the ring on Debra's LEFT ring finger, not her right. Spank me! ;-)

CHAPTER TWENTY – SIX

Debra, Wilson, House and Cameron headed for Cuddy's room to take her to breakfast; Chase and Foreman were still passed out in their room because they didn't get back to their room until 3:30. They'd left a note on their door to leave them alone. House was going to bang on it then run but Debra pulled him away before he could.

They stood in line to fill their plates with foods from the breakfast buffet and found a table right by a window that looked out over the ocean. They all took a few bites before Debra couldn't take it any longer and put her purse on the table and took out a long, narrow box.

"Lisa, we all got this for you as a thank you for this wonderful cruise. We hope you like it," Debra said as she handed it to her.

"Oh, my, you didn't have to do this. But thank you," she said as she graciously took the box and opened it.

Debra sat on the edge of her chair holding her breath. Cuddy's mouth dropped when she saw the sapphire and diamond necklace sparkle in the light from the sun shining in.

"It's beautiful. Thank you so much."

"It'll match your dress for the formal dinner tonight," Debra said excitedly.

"Yeah, oh, is that why you were pestering me to bring that particular one, Cameron?"

"Of course," she smiled.

During the rest of the meal Debra and Cameron talked about what they'd do that day. They both agreed on going to the napkin animal making demonstration and House said he was going to hang out by the pool with Wilson and they were going to rate the women in their bikinis.

"Yeah, you two have fun!" Debra said as she brought the napkin to her mouth and wiped it clean.

"Debra!? What the heck do you have on your finger?!" Cameron exclaimed as she took Debra's hand and looked at the diamond engagement ring on her left ring finger.

"Oh, that. It's just something Jim gave me," she said playfully. "We're getting married on the island…the first chapel we find!"

She looked at Wilson who bashfully looked down at his plate. Debra nudged his elbow and crooked her head to see his face. He finally looked up with a huge smile on his face.

"No, why can't we get married on the ship?" Wilson offered.

House sat silent in his chair, his face speaking volumes. Cuddy lightly kicked him under the table to say something but he didn't.

"That's a good idea. We can get your wedding ring in the shopping district. Why don't we do it on the trip back?" Debra said.

"Oh, that is just so cool! I'm so happy for you both!"

Wilson couldn't see House from where he was sitting, but he figured he knew what was on his face and what he was thinking. He held his breath and waited for House to say something. Debra herself looked over at her cousin and he didn't seem too pleased.

Quietly and smoothly, House stood up and Debra cringed in her chair. She grabbed Wilson's elbow and stood to leave before he made an idiot out of both of them.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to tell everyone that…"

Wilson stood up beside Debra and they turned to leave, but what House said next made them stop in their tracks.

"…I am going to be the best man and my best friend's wedding to my cousin!"

Debra relaxed and turned to look at House, who was holding up a glass of orange juice and the room erupted in applause. Wilson seemed to blush a bit before they walked back to the table. Debra walked up to House and gave him a hug.

"You never cease to amaze me, you know that?"

"Yeah, well, I have to keep you on your toes, don't I?" he said with a wink before he shook hands with Wilson.

"Come on, Ace, I'm ready to check out the hotties by the pool!" House said as he turned to leave.

"Fine, but I have a location seeking device in his boxers to track him! Keep him out of trouble, Greg!"

The men waited for the ladies in a bar outside the main dining room while they got ready in their rooms. Chase and Foreman were talking about two women they met and were fighting about which one was more better looking, and House and Wilson were talking about the 'hotties' by the pool.

When the three women walked towards the men and they got their first glimpses of them, their mouths dropped to the floor. Cuddy did look stunning in her deep blue dress and sapphire necklace, Debra looked absolutely ravishing in her dress, even though her stomach was protruding out very noticeably but she carried herself very elegantly, and Cameron wore a red dress that made her sparkle.

Wilson walked to Debra and took her hand, brought it to his lips and kissed it like a valiant knight. Foreman and Chase smiled at the women, and as House approached Cameron, he popped two vicodins and smiled at her wickedly, her heart pounding in her chest. He stopped right in front of her, put his arm around her waist, pulled her back so that she was at an uncomfortable angle and kissed her passionately.

"Oh, please! That's enough you two!" Cuddy teased as the rest of the group walked by them to the dining room. They met the group shortly after that.

Dinner that night was probably the best time the whole group had had, ever. Debra was hesitant about having a glass of wine but Cuddy reassured her that one wouldn't hurt the baby. But that didn't stop House from having at least a whole bottle on his own.

HOUSE MD HOUSE MD HOUSE MD

They docked in Freeport, Grand Bahamas early the next morning but didn't head out until after they'd eaten lunch because Debra and Wilson had to check with the captain about a time for the wedding.

The girls hit the shopping district with Wilson, but strictly to find a ring for him, and, of course, for jewelry for the women, too. House, Chase and Foreman headed to the casino and House hit the jackpot with Roulette; he just couldn't lose. After Chase and Foreman lost all their money they went off to the other side of the small island to do some jet skiing.

They met up at dinner then for a show afterwards, but Debra was too tired and Wilson decided to stay with her in the room.

The next day, after they left the Bahamas and were on their way home, with one night left, Debra and Wilson got married in the small chapel on the ship and it was beautiful, even though it was small. Debra chastised her cousin for wearing a tropical shirt with shorts that were past his knees, but she let him slide.

The group arrived back at PPTH and they were all refreshed from their too short four day cruise and exploration on the island. They all settled into their normal routine of work, patients, being cured or mocked by House and his team and all went well for the next month and a half, when Debra went into early labor and her doctor demanded she stay on bed rest for the last month of her pregnancy.

The pregnancy had indeed strained her heart, as well as her kidneys and liver from the pressure of the baby on her organs. The ob/gyn assured Debra and Wilson that the baby was healthy, and Debra wasn't in immediate danger.

But Debra insisted she have a natural delivery, even though the doctor did tell her it would be too risky, for both her and the baby.
