I thank you who have reviewed my story so far. I appreciate said reviews, and without further ado, here is the next installment.

"What? Pregnant?"

"Yes mother, I am pregnant. I just found out about this last night. I am sorry for not telling you when I found this out James, but, I wanted to surprise you all at the same time. Looks like it worked too."

It did work to say the least. James was looking at her with shock, love and happiness on his face. Her folks on the other hand were just shocked. They had expected an announcement of them dating, but not of them getting married and being parents themselves. It was time to bury the hatchet. Elizabeth nodded to Donald to say what was on each of their minds.

"Even though we don't like the way this lunch has gone, we support you in your endeavor for a happy life and parenthood. Let us know of anything you may need, and we will get it for you, no questions asked. We love you Ali, you know we do, and we will do anything to keep you happy. If you are truly happy with James, then so be it. We will welcome him into the family with open arms."

"I am truly happy father. I thought that House was the guy for me. We were both broken in a way, and I had thought that if we were together, we could fix each other to be a whole. It took James here to show me that, that wasn't possible. House broke himself and can only fix himself. I admire him for what he has done since his infarction. He has stayed strong, and always will. The real reason for him staying strong is James. James here has been there for House every step of the way. I never realized that I fell in love with him until recently. He has helped me out through my tough spots, the anniversary of David's death, and the anniversary of Diana's death. It was always hard for me, losing my first husband to cancer, and our daughter to my selfish needs. Anyway, yes I am happy, and always will, since I finally found the half of my heart that I was always searching for."

"So you and this Dr. House guy are remaining friends?"

"Someone talking about me?"

Greg House showed up out of the blue and took a seat at the table they were sitting at. After he got sat down, he winked at Allison, telling her that he in fact was going to be a good boy. In turn, she grasped James' hand and gently squeezed it to let him know the same thing. The tension eased in their backs and they sat more comfortable.

"It's a pleasure to finally meet you Mr.& Mrs. Cameron, I am Dr. Gregory House. Don't worry about all the stories that Allison here has told you, some are true, but others are not. Truth be told, I am a very lonely guy, who is addicted to Vicodin, plays piano when depressed, skirts authority whenever possible, plays I-Pod or Game boy when bored. Is sarcastic so as to hide emotions, and is pretty much just an asshole. Did I miss anything Jimmy? Allison?"

"Nope Greg, that about sums it up. I need to be getting back to work now, it was a pleasure Donald, Elizabeth. Why don't the both of you come by my apartment tonight so we can have a bit of bonding time? Don't worry about dressing up for it, I will cook up my special lasagna. Does 8 sound good?"

"Why James, we would love to get a chance to get to know you better, won't we dear?"

"Yes, that would be great."

"Then it's settled. Ali, darling, I will see you tomorrow? And please be careful today, don't want you to miscarry."

"Yes you will, and stop that, I am only pregnant, I am not a porcelain doll."

With that, Allison gave James a kiss and he took off, but not before giving Greg a wink. Greg knew that the wink was a thumbs up to let him know it was alright for the dinner that Ali and him were going to have tonight. His ears had to be deceiving him, Ali, pregnant? He would have to ask her about it when he showed up later. When everybody was done eating, and Greg had left, Allison took her folks on a grand tour of the town, and where to stay at, where to eat, what places to avoid, the usual stuff. When it came time for Allison's parents to get ready to go to James, they had found a hotel sufficient enough for them. They didn't want to impose on Allison, since she is engaged to James, and will likely be having him overnight while they were here. Allison made sure to give them James' address to give to the cab driver so they would get there.

Meanwhile, back at Ali's, everything was going smoothly. The chilli she had made was perfect. She only had to put the cornbread in when House arrived. She made sure to have two cases of beer in the fridge, one MGD, one Bud Light. Even though she is pregnant, she understands that you can't all of a sudden stop drinking or smoking when you realize you are. She will likely only have two or three bottles tonight, not enough to get her drunk drunk. She was stirring the chilli when her doorbell rang. She put the ladle down and walked to the door, opened it and let House in. She took his jacket and hung it on the hall tree by the door. She then led him to the living room area, where there was already a cold bottle of beer, sitting in a small bucket of ice, a bowl of popcorn and some napkins in front of the couch for each of them. She had House sit down while she went into the kitchen to finish up on the preparations. When she got the cornbread in the oven, she turned around and House was standing in the doorway, watching her.

"My god House, stop scaring my like that. I can't be getting scared all the time now you know?"

"No, I don't know."

"Oh come off it, you know I am pregnant. You are quite the doctor. You are like Monk, of the medical profession. You should have noticed the signs before I did. Anyway, ten minutes and supper is ready. Why don't we start to get everything ready in the dinning room so we can eat?"

With Allison's help, House had gathered up what utensils, plates and bowls and such that were needed and headed into the dinning room to set them out. Once he got done with it, Allison was walking in with the pan of chilli and set it in the middle of the table. She then went back into the kitchen for the now done cornbread, and two buckets of two bottles of beer each. She set everything down and then finally sat herself down. They set their napkins on their laps, and each reached for the ladle at the same time and their hands touched for the briefest of seconds and House withdrew. He felt an electric shock course through him upon touching Allison's hand. Allison had felt it too. They were each thinking about what it meant. Each dismissing it as just the dry air, dove into their meal with a gusto. Various topics of conversation were work, the weather, Allison's pregnancy, the upcoming wedding, and what movie they were going to watch when they finished eating.

"I happen to like Tombstone. It's a great western movie."

"Ali, I would rather watch Wyatt Earp instead of Tombstone."

"How about American Outlaws?"

"I could go for that one."

"Good, then it's settled, I will clear up in here, go ahead and get the DVD ready and I will be in a minute."

"I will help you, so we can watch it at the same time."

House helped Allison clear the table and make sure everything was in the dishwasher, sink, or fridge. They both walked into the living room to watch the movie. Once it was going and they were sitting there watching it, Greg took occasional glances over at Allison. He just wanted to observe her. He never had a previous chance to really be in her company, and he was enjoying it immensely. He always will be jealous of what she has with Jimmy. He wanted that with her, but was took chicken to go for it. After a while of thinking about all this, we come to the scene where Little Jimmy Younger gets shot, and Allison screamed and launched herself into Greg's arms. She covered her face in his chest to not see the TV screen. Greg was surprised and fascinated by this turn of events. He did the only thing he could, he wrapped one arm around her and caressed her hair with his other hand. He whispered that everything was going to be alright to her, and calmed her down, somewhat. Once she was starting to get composed, she lifted herself up and looked into Greg's eyes, and then her world stopped. She saw unconditional love there, and desire. She did the only thing she thought of at that time, and leaned up to kiss him. Once their lips met, the electric shock from earlier coursed through them both like a wild fire. Greg deepened the kiss and leaned over to lay Allison down on the couch. When this was accomplished, he then started to kiss her eye lids, her nose, her neck, and then moved lower to her collarbone. As he was doing this, he was unbuttoning her blouse and moving it out of the way. After he got the last button undone, he removed the offending piece of material. She wore no bra, so it was pure heaven to see her breasts in all their glory. Allison moaned when he massaged first one, then the other. She had plans of her own, and started to reciprocate, unbuttoning his shirt, and untucking it from his jeans. She then caressed his chest, running her fingers through the hair. They realized that they were still half clothed. Greg got up and took his shoes off then his jeans, showing Allison that he went commando. In one fell swoop, he had her skirt off. His eyes perked up even more when he noticed no undergarments on her at all.

"You must have been thinking about doing something, what with no restrictions on."

"I have always wanted you House, and this is my chance to get it out of my system."

"What about me? Are you just using me to get over an idealistic dream?"

"What about you? You are using me for the same purpose. So why don't we use each other tonight and get it over with?"

"Sounds good to me. Here or in the bedroom?"

"Bedroom."

Allison led the way to her bedroom. Once Greg walked over the threshold, he immediately smelled Jimmy in the room. His jealousy started rear it's ugly head but then tamped down when he inwardly sniggered that he was getting laid tonight and Jimmy wasn't for once. Greg laid himself down on the bed so Allison could join him.

"Foreplay or no?"

"Not now, maybe in a few hours, I need you too much right now."

"Ok."

She climbed onto the bed, and straddled House. She entered in a swift motion. Once a good rhythm got started, they lost themselves. Fully sated, Allison fell asleep in Greg's arms with a smile on her face. He had the same smile on his face. They had finally had each other, and were almost satisfied with it. Two hours later, they woke up and went for round two. After that, they got up and went to the bathroom to take a shower and round three. They then went to the living room to actually watch the movie, and ended up going for a fourth round. They didn't get much sleep that night. When it became morning, Allison woke up with a start. The chest she was sleeping on wasn't familiar, so she glanced up and saw House instead of James there. The whole night came flashing before her eyes. She got up and went to the bathroom to get ready for work. Once dressed, she left a note on the bed that said

House,

Thanks for a great evening, but it can never happen again. Honestly, I love James so much and don't want to loose him. Our theories were right, we were using each other to no end. I hope that we can still be friends after what happened and not let this get in the way.

Sincerely yours,

Allison

Greg woke up half an hour later, and read the note with a smirk on his face. He couldn't wait to tell James how much of a hell cat his fiancee really is in bed.
