Chapter 3, Cameron and Her Friends.
The next morning, both Chase and Cameron slept in, fully clothed, in the warmth and comfort of each
others arms, almost dreaming of what happened two months back, until Cameron's phone vibrated indicating she had missed a call.
"Hey." Said Chase, sleepily.
"Good morning." She whispered, listening to the message and hanging up the phone.
"Who was it?" He asked, sitting up in bed.
"House, and something about your green card expiring. Who knows." She said looking at the clock
"Its nearly nine, the wedding is at noon and I have to go feed the horses."
"I'll help." He said getting out of bed.
"Callie is helping me, you really don't have to. . . "She said, he interrupted her by placing a finger on her lips.
"Its alright, I want to help." He changed into some track shorts and T-shirt, Allison blushed and lead the way out of the door.
As they reached the barn, an 8 year old girl stood in front, waiting for Cameron. "Aunt Allison! Your late." She pouted.
"Sorry Callie." Said Allison, giving the girl a hug. "You remember Chase."
"Hi Callie." Said Chase waving to her, the little girl blushed and waved, then lead the way into the barn.
It took an hour to feed the horses and the three returned, all laughing at Allison, who jumped on one of the ponies
immediately falling off the other side. "Callie." She said in between laughs. "Go get ready and I will see you later. And you, Doctor
Chase, can shower first." as they entered their room.
"Alright." He said grabbing his stuff and heading off into the bathroom.
Once he left she picked up her cell phone and made a call. "Doctor Foreman speaking." Said the voice on the other end.
"Foreman, Its Cameron." She responded. "How is Cambree doing?"
"She's got fever, her MRI showed nothing, not a spot. I've upped her antibiotic to control the fever."
"Will you schedule an echocardiogram for Monday, I'll . . .." She started.
"Cam, your supposed to be resting. If House finds out he'll have both me and Chase doing clinic hours." Said Foreman.
"I know, something isn't right. Will you at least find me the file for Cambree's mother?" asked Allison.
"That I can do, just relax Cameron." He said softly.
"I am, I'm in New York with Chase for my sisters wedding." She explained. "I've been riding, my family is all here. . ."
"And your with the man of your dreams?" filled in Foreman, with a smile.
"I'm with Chase." She said, clearly blushing. "Keep me posted."
"I will." he said hanging up.
She sighed again setting the phone on the nightstand. Chase was standing behind her, he didn't have a shirt
on, gently wrapped his arms around her waist. "Allison, you really need to calm down. Your supposed to be
resting, all this worry is going to make you more sick."
"Something isn't right, Chase." She said leaning into his embrace. "I don't know what it is, but I feel it."
He turned her around so she could look him in the eye. "Allison, everything will be alright. Foreman is
watching over her. He'll let you know if something happens."
"I know." She said. "That cardiac arrest doesn't match any of the symptoms." She started to pace.
Chase sat on the bed and sighed. "Well tell me what your thinking, maybe I can make sense of it?
It works for House."
"When I saw her, she didn't look like someone who just went into cardiac arrest, she almost acted
as if she didn't know why she was there. I want to run an EKG, to prove my theory. There is something with
her father, his story is totally different. . ." She stopped suddenly and ran out of the room, emptying the contents
of her stomach into the toilet. Chase followed her and held her hair back until she finished. "Go ahead and said 'I told you
so."
"I'm not saying it, this is important to you. I just wish you will calm down a little. How about you go take a shower and
we'll go to your sisters wedding." She nodded her head and he left the bathroom, going down to the kitchen where Jack
was reading the newspaper at the table. "Good morning Jack." Sitting at the table.
"And to you, Rob. Did you sleep alright?" he asked, not looking up from the paper.
"Yes." He said with a smile, he slept well because of Cameron asleep in his arms, not that Jack needed to know.
"Where's Allison?" He asked turning the page.
"Getting ready, she called into work wondering about a patient and became upset. It took a bit until she calmed down, She's in
the shower." He said
"What wrong?" asked Jack, looking from the paper.
"This case we're on is driving her crazy. Something isn't adding up, I don't know what's running through that head of hers." said Chase taking
a sip of coffee, almost choking on it as Cameron came down the stairs, looking quite unsure of herself. She had on a black halter top dress that flowed down to her calf, supplied with black ballet flats. Chase stood taking her hand. "God your beautiful."
She blushed, "You don't look half bad yourself." She said, he was wearing and light blue shirt and black pants.
"Allison, you need to go down to the church. They want pictures of the two of you." said Jack.
She nodded and the two left and in minutes they were in the church's gardens, and walked to a small gathering of people.
"Alright, sister is here." muttered the photographer
"Allison." Cried Liza.
"You look amazing." they both said at the same time, causing Chase to laugh. Liza's dress almost matched Allison's with the exception of being white and longer.
Their photo session didn't last long and Allison was again at Chase's side, taking his hand in hers. In the distance came a couple walking towards the crowd.
"Temperance?" called Allison, running to the woman giving her a hug.
"Allison." She said returning the hug. "Long time, no see."
"I know, I've been meaning to get away to D.C. but with work, its been crazy." She said releasing the hug, looking at the man next to her friend.
"Allison, this is Seeley Booth, my. . ." She started but was interrupted by the man
"Partner in crime." he finished. "It great to finally meet you, I've heard stories."
Allison glared playfully at Temperance, "I'm sure, I could tell you stories that will haunt you, Seeley."
"Oh, no you don't Allison. And who is this?" referring to Chase.
"This is Rob Chase, Chase this is Dr. Temperance Brennan." Introduced Cameron. "She's a forensic anthropologist, with the Jeffersonian."
"I've heard of you, I've read all of your books." Said Chase, shaking Temperance and Booth's hands.
"I'll go get us a seat." Said Booth, kissing Temperance softly on the lips.
"I will join you." Said Chase and the two left to the church.
"He seems nice." Said Cameron. "Is he a forensic anthropologist too?"
Temperance started to laugh. "Him? No, He couldn't tell you the difference of the scapula from the sacrum. He works for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, I help him identify bodies and occasionally take down bad guys."
"I don't see you as an FBI agent." said Cameron laughing.
"I'm not, they come to me for help. Begging like dogs." Said Temperance with a smile.
"Well what's with this?" asked Cameron, placing her hands on Temperance's tiny belly.
"13 weeks, due at the end of September." She said proudly.
"I thought you didn't want kids." pointed Allison with a smile.
"Well a certain FBI agent tricked me into it. My staff still hasn't noticed." She said.
"Even Angela?" asked Cameron about Temperance's other friend.
"Yeah, she's been too wrapped up in a guy to notice anything."
"How did Booth trick you in to having children?" She questioned, raising her eyebrow.
"Making me baby-sit his son, then having sex. Well that wasn't forced, not that I'm complaining." She shrugged. "What about your friend?"
"Chase? He's a doctor with me at Princeton-Plainsboro. I got sent home yesterday because I was sick and Dr. House said if I showed up
at work he got clinic duty for a month, so he followed me here."
"That's it? You two seem awfully close that just co-workers."
"Now you are turning into Angela." said Allison referring to the nosey friend, who was into everyone's relationships.
"It's the hormones talking and Booth uses it to his advantage. Damn him." She said playfully glaring at the direction the two men left it.
"He's been really great to me, we're not together. Just close. I had an HIV scare two months back and he stayed with me." she tried to explain. "Helped me through it."
"HIV scare?"
"I got splashed with HIV positive blood when I was working with a patient and had to go through the process. He actually seemed to care, and he didn't look down on me when I stole crystal meth from the hospital and got high." She said looking down, remembering that night. "Chase walked me through it."
"Oh." Responded Temperance. "He's a good man."
"He's really caring, he's gentle with patients and with me. I know I piss him off sometimes, and he pisses me off, but we get things done." she said. "He's helping me through this godforsaken case we are on now, its only amplified because I was sent home."
"He's right for you." Said Temperance.
She was about to respond when their names were called. "Allison, Temperance. The wedding is about to start." Said Chase from the door.
They smiled at each other and headed inside. Before she went inside, Cameron leaned in and kissed Chase softly on the lips. "Thank you." she whispered, taking his hand and walking into the church, each grinning.
