Allison's parents will be introduced in this chapter. I don't know what their names are, so I am going to be making them up. Enjoy.
When Allison woke up the next morning, she felt deliciously sated. It was the start of a new day, and one where she would tell her parents about James. She turned her head to watch James as he slept, one thing she realized she will never tire of. Allison got the impulse to caress his cheek and he groggily woke up with a Cheshire cat grin on his face.
"Morning beautiful, how well did you sleep?"
"Morning yourself, I slept well, how about you?"
"As well as can be expected when one has a beautiful, vivacious, insatiable woman right beside him."
"I need to get out of bed and get ready for the day. My parents are going to be here for lunch, and I will be taking the rest of the day off."
"Wait, your parents are going to be here? You never told me this."
"Sorry darling. Care to come to lunch with us?"
"Well, since they will soon be my in laws, wouldn't hurt. Give me a chance to see what side of the family you go what from."
Allison went into the bathroom to take her shower to get ready for work, as she stepped into the luxurious shower, James came up behind her, and joined in. They spent an hour in there, bathing each other and making love. They were in fact both late for work. Allison walked into the conference room with a knowing look from Greg, and questions as to why she was late by both Chase and Foreman.
"Do I have to tell you both why I was late?"
"Yes you do, we have to spill the beans when we are, so show some consideration and do it yourself."
"Well, if you must know, I was..."
"Enough, I don't need to know why Allison was late for work, and neither do any of you for that matter. Now all of us have to head to the clinic, since we don't have a case to do until that one guy can get here. Let's get going, before Cuddy comes up here and badgers us about it."
"You guys go ahead and go, I have some phone calls to make before I head down. I will see you in a bit."
Chase and Foreman went ahead to the elevator, while House stayed back to see what was wrong with Allison.
"Is everything ok?"
"Yea, everything is great, just need to call my parents to have them meet me here instead of at my apartment when it comes time for lunch."
"Your parents are going to be in town? Too bad I promised to be good, I would have had so much fun with that."
"Yes you would have. Now if you will excuse me, I have to make that call before they take off."
Greg left the room just as James was walking up the hall.
"Clinic duty awaits, she is in there calling her parents."
"Thank you. Clinic duty awaits you? My god, Ali has you whipped, and apparently so does Cuddy. What's gotten into you lately? Gone too damn soft on all of us. Sounds like you weren't kidding when you said you have feelings for Allison. Just remember what I told you. I will keep her parents entertained tonight when you two have your friends night. As I said, if anything happens, it can only occur once. Then you had better have it out of your system or I will stop prescribing your vicodin for you."
"Oh lay off Jimmy. I would castrate myself if I even thought of wanting to have her again if I do get the chance too. I will see you later."
After Greg left to head down to the clinic, James walked into the room right when Allison finished with her mother.
"They will meet us here for lunch and take us somewhere. I had told her that I have a friend who is coming with us, and then once we get into the meal, I will broach the subject that I have been seeing you and are now engaged to marry you."
"Sounds good to me, hope they like me and one day will treat me like the son they never had."
"They will love you sweetie. Who doesn't?"
"I can name any number of people who don't love me, but that is neither here nor there at this point. Why don't I walk you down to the clinic, I need to get a few prescriptions while I am down there for a patient?"
"Ok, lead the way handsome."
James opened the door as Allison walked out into the hallway. When they got into the elevator to go down to the clinic, well, you get the idea. It took them a couple minutes to compose themselves before entering the clinic. Allison then grabbed her roster, and told the attending receptionist what room she was going to be in. After a couple hours of just diagnosing the common cold and muscle aches, she was getting hungry. She looked at the clock and realized that she only had twenty minutes left til lunch and then the rest of the day off. She was about to call it a day when her door opened and her folks walked in to greet her.
"Mom! Dad! I wasn't expecting you til noon."
"We wanted to surprise you darling, looks like it worked."
"Yes mother, it worked. My friend should be by in a few minutes to come to lunch with us."
"Sounds great, does Ruby Tuesdays sound good, I am paying?"
"Yea, sounds great dad."
At that moment, James walked into the room.
"Mom, dad, I would like to introduce you to my friend, Dr. James Wilson, head of the Oncology department and board member of this hospital, James I would like to introduce my parents, Donald and Elizabeth Cameron."
"It's a pleasure to meet you ma'am, sir. Shall we head for lunch before Greg wants to keep us here?"
"Greg, are you referring to Greg House?"
"Yes I am ma'am, friend of mine and nuisance."
"I don't like him, and am glad that my daughter got over him a long time ago. Speaking of guys, who are you seeing now? Or are you seeing anybody?"
"Yes I am seeing somebody father. As a matter of fact James here is the guy I am seeing. Why don't we head out to lunch so we can tell you?"
"Sounds like a good idea dear, do you both want to ride with us, or take separate cars?"
"Why don't we take separate cars? That way, when we get done James can get back to work while we catch up."
"Ok, meet us there?"
"Will do."
Allison's parents drove there in one car, while James and Allison drove there in James' car, since James had to be back at work after lunch. When they got to Ruby Tuesdays, they parked the car, and went in to the table that Donald and Elizabeth were sitting at. Once they got sat down, and their drinks and food ordered, the questions started in.
"I figure I don't have to ask the obvious question as to how you two met, but I do have to ask, how long?"
"About a month mother. We started seeing each other when Hurricane Pamela came up here."
"What are your views on Him?"
"I am Jewish, so my views are different on really went on and what didn't."
"Ok, fair enough. What exactly do you do on your off time Dr. Wilson?"
"Go ahead and call me James sir. I do quite a few things actually, I do play golf every once in a while. I make sure to read up on all the latest medical technology and such. I do go out with friends when I get the chance, which is lately, quite often."
Their food arrived, so they dug in an ate. The guys talked about sports stuff and what team is the best and what team isn't. Allison and Elizabeth got themselves caught up in what was going on family wise. When they were done, Ali gave James "the" look and he winked at her to signal it was about time to broach "the subject."
"Mom, dad, I have something I need to tell you. Don't get me wrong, it's not bad at all, by any means. You see, James and I are getting married and I am pregnant."
