"I'm sorry I know I missed dinner but my boss wouldn't let me go until I had an idea for that stupid toothbrush product." Laura complained as she entered her bedroom finding Booth already in bed wearing only pajama pants and going over some files. Laura walked over to him and kissed him before going into the bathroom.

"Don't worry."

"How was it with Brooke?" she asked leaving the door ajar.

"OK I guess. I tried to find out about the boy she was talking to at the playground but she didn't say a word."

"A boy? You think that's the reason she's taking Beth so many times to that place?"

"Yes." he answered putting the files away and sliding down, laying on his back.

"Think she has a crush on him?" she asked exiting the bathroom wearing blue pajama pants and a white tank top.

"Yes and he got one on her too." he chuckled as he watched her getting into bed.

"Why would you say that?" she asked laying on her side, facing him.

"Just the way he looked after her when she went away." he smiled turning his head to her.

"Do you think I should talk to her?" Laura asked moving closer to him and laying her head on his shoulder.

"No. I'm sure she'll come to you when there's something to talk about." he smiled at her.

Laura nodded and kissed him goodnight. Booth put his arms around her and closed his eyes soon falling into a peaceful slumber.

"Are you going to tell me what happened between you and Wilson?" Cameron asked as she joined House in front of the TV.

"Nothing happened." he lied.

Cameron pinned him with a stare which said 'I don't believe you so tell me the truth or you'll sleep on the couch.'

"I made him swear not to tell anyone. I don't want to break his trust or we won't be best friends anymore." he mimicked a school girl. Cameron rolled her eyes.

"Cuddy wants a baby." he admitted after a while.

"That's great." Cameron grinned.

"Not if the husband isn't ready for it yet?"

"What do you mean?" Cameron asked confused. "Is Wilson against children?"

"No, but he just doesn't want to share Cuddy's funbags just yet." he smirked.

"And why are you upset about this?"

"I'm not upset it's just...he expected me to tell him that he should just go for it. But I couldn't because.." he stopped remembering who he was talking to.

Cameron narrowed her eyes at him. "Because what?"

"Because I'm not the right person to talk to about this." he lied, well it was a half lie.

"Or because you think you were forced into parenthood?" Cameron asked tentatively trying to figure out what he was hiding. House's sudden silence made her gasp. He thought she trapped him into this? That she got pregnant so he wouldn't leave her? She knew her thoughts were ridiculous but at the moment she was very tired and her pregnancy hormones were playing a sick game with her. Not wanting to cry in front of him she left the living room in a hurry and ran towards the bedroom slamming the door behind her shut.

"S#it" House cursed before throwing the glass of whiskey he held in his hand against the wall. Angry with himself for making Cameron upset he decided to grab his motorbike keys and go to the next bar and getting drunk. As he was getting the keys, he noticed a frame with a picture of him and Cameron kissing. He remembered her wanting to take a picture of them to decorate the house and how he refused until she kissed him and he had forgotten about everything. He didn't even mind to know that she had tricked him. The simple feeling of her lips were worth it.

Letting the idea to go to the bar go, he made his way to the bedroom hoping she hadn't locked herself up. Turning the handle, he sighed in relief when the door opened. Stepping inside he couldn't see her but he did hear her sobs coming from the bathroom. Limping to the door, he turned the handle but the door wouldn't open.

"Allison, open the door. Come on." he pleaded but got no answer. Inside, Cameron was sitting against the door with both her hands on her belly. She knew it had been a shock to find out she was pregnant 5 months ago but she thought he was happy, happy to know that she was carrying their child, their son. She cried harder, now starting to doubt their engagement.

The next morning, House came in earlier and locked himself up in his office not wanting to see or talk to anyone. The night been horrible. After trying for an hour to get Cameron to open the door, he gave up and went into the living room to try and sleep not wanting Cameron to spend the whole night in the bathroom. She eventually came out and went to check on him because when he woke up he found a blanket over him. It amazed him that even when she was upset with him that she would look after him.

Without him noticing, Wilson sneaked into the office through the balcony door. He was concerned for his best friend. After their talk last night neither of them had talked to each other, not even during the dinner. And finding him so early at work only meant there must have happened something more. Wilson cleared his throat and House jumped surprised to find him there.

"How the hell did you get in here?" he asked angrily.

"You didn't lock the balcony door." Wilson replied sitting in one of the chairs across House's desk. "Why are you here?"

"I work here. Why are you here?" he grumbled picking up his super sized tennis ball and tossing it in the air.

"House." Wilson eyed him. "Tell me."

House caught the ball and turned to look at his friend. It wasn't unusual for House to lock himself up in his office and neither was that Wilson came to check on him but House knew something wasn't the usual. Wilson knew something.

"You talked to Cameron." House stated.

Wilson was silent and sighed. "No."

House stared at him demanding the truth.

"She came to Lisa." he finally admitted. "House, what happened?"

"She wanted to know what had happened to us before dinner. I kind of told her, but not the whole truth and she figured it out on her own which resulted in her sobbing in our bathroom and me sleeping on the couch."

"And what are you going to do now?"

House shook his head not knowing how to answer.
