Here for you

(6/?)

Erin was able to go home, she was still not a hundred percent but given the fact that she was going home with two doctors they allowed her to go home early.

Both Cameron and House had extended leave and were being very overprotective with concern to Erin. Parents that they both despised during their clinic hours, but had now reached an understanding as to why parents become so protective, irrespective to doctors advice.

"Daddy, will I get better now?" Erin was laying down, with House sat by her just about to read her a bedtime story.

"Your already better" Erin didn't want to end up back in the hospital, going to work with either of her parents or going up to the hospital day care was an exception. But ending up in a hospital bed, having needles stuck into to you while being in pain, was something that she was certain she didn't want to experience again.

"Are you sure?" she placed her head onto House's lap and wrapped her hands around his torso, so she could see the book he was about to read.

"Would I lie to you" he replied over dramatically, at this Erin laughed.

"You always lie to James and Lisa. And sometimes Mommy"

"I do not" childishly arguing back. "I only want to make them feel better" Erin seemed so much more mature than the average four year old. This was because even as an infant House would talk to her as if she was able to understand. He was the only person to not treat her as the child that she was even though she didn't understand allot of what he said.

"You told uncle James that mommy was visiting her hooker friends when she went to grandmas house" she smiled up to her farther innocently

"you were not supposed to hear that. Do not repeat that to your mother" shocked that she even remembered that conversation which took place 6 months before, when Cameron went to her mother for the 45th wedding anniversary .House been on strict instructions not to teach Erin new words since she was two years old and innocently told her aunt that she was a bih.

"Daddy what's a hooker"

"It's a word you should not repeat again, especially not to you mother" opening the book House began to read the first page.

Cameron was sat with her head over the toilet bowl heaving violently, paining her chest and stomach for the second time that morning, and as she hadn't even eaten anything yet.

It was six thirty in the morning and Erin would be up in half and hour like clockwork. Exiting the bathroom and heading back to her bedroom, she lay besides her sleeping husbands form.

He loved Erin so much, he was the best father she could have hoped him to be for her. But was he ready to be a father again. With Erin their bond was instant, and he had never mentioned wanted anymore children. Actually they had been very careful not to become pregnant.

She had forgotten to take the pill only a couple of times in the last few months. Shit, thought to herself. She hadn't taken a test yet out of fear of the results. She was tempted to just ask Foreman to take some blood. She knew by asking Foreman it would never get back to House until she wanted it to.

Subconsciously House arms welcomed the warmth that came with having Cameron's body so near by holding her close to him, wrapping his arms around her securely holding her into place.

She wasn't going back to sleep but she wasn't ready to get up yet , she loved just laying in bed with House while he was sleeping. watching how different he looked asleep. He almost looked peaceful, not a care in the world. He never looked this relaxed and at ease unless he was asleep.

"is there something on my face" it came out gruff and full with sleep, startling Cameron.

"I thought you were sleeping"

"It's kind of hard to sleep when your staring at me, like that"

"How did you know I was staring at you"

"because you always do, I'm that irresistible" he opened his eyes and looked down to see exactly what he expected to see, Cameron looking up to him.

"What time is it anyway" his voice was still full with sleep, but he seemed to wake up a bit more as he pulled Cameron up and kiss her full on, she returned the kiss with passion. Waking up with a morning kiss like this had been missed by the both of them. They had been so caught up in everything that had been going on with Erin they hadn't had any time for themselves.

House rooming hands were softy caressing her back under her night shirt while Cameron arm wrapped around his neck.

It would have probably gone on for a allot longer if the tiny footsteps of Erin's outside their bedroom door wasn't heard.

They both laughed as the door crept open and little Erin hopped in and onto the bed.

"It's not even seven yet" House complained reaching over to see the small clock on Cameron side of the bed.

"go back to bed" he ordered but Erin made her self comfortable laying on her mother lap.

"I couldn't sleep" she informed him innocently "Mommy what's a hooker"

HCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHC

"Pretty please?" House had both his hands clapped together begging Erin to eat just one bite of her breakfast.

"I don't like eggs, daddy" putting on the sweetest voice she could, knowing that her father would give in eventually. "can I have pancakes instead"

"You've got to eat some of your eggs first, otherwise mommy gonna turn into a great big monster" Erin's eyes widen at the thought of her mother turning into a scary monster. Slowly Erin put the tinniest bit of scrambled egg on her fork, and even more painfully slow raised the fork to her mouth and ate it.

"Your going to have to eat a bit more than that"

House was ordered to make Erin breakfast anything other than pancakes. Since coming home for the hospital she had refused to eat anything that didn't have sugar or fat in it.

They had been sat at the table for twenty minutes and she ha only eaten one mouth full.

"I hope your eating all your breakfast sweetie" making her way over to the little girl she kissed the top of head. House put his arms around her waist and pulled her onto his lap.

"Hey what about me" he pouted as he tried to kiss her, Cameron moved her head away.

"I only give little girls morning kisses, when I'm the great big monster. Besides you got your this morning already" giving him a flirty smile she got up from his lap.

"Oooh… you heard that then" pouring herself some coffee.

"yes I heard it"

"mommy daddy making me eat this" she informed Cameron picking up a please of very burnt toast.

Shaking her head, Cameron laughed.

"Hey" snatching the toast from her and taking a bite out of it "you told me you like it like that, traitor" he took another bite and continued to pretend to sulk.

"I didn't"

"Eat you eggs and I'll make you some more, okay"

Erin began to eat her breakfast and the freshly prepared toast that Cameron had made for her.

House and Erin spent most of their day at home, Erin watched him as he playing his play station and when she got bored of that was in her room playing with her toys and colouring, while Cameron went out grocery shopping.

House has got out of gong with her using Erin as an excuse saying that she still wasn't a hundred percent and that it would be best for her to stay at home with him.

When Cameron walked in later that day she found both her husband and her child fast asleep on the sofa and a large empty box of pizza, and two large glass's one still half filled with coke the other empty..

Shaking her head she put the shopping away before cleaning after them.

"Greg. You've got to stop buying takeouts for Erin. She isn't getting any nutrition from eating all that junk" after putting Erin to bed that night, failing yet again to give her, her usual glass of warm milk.

"She getting more difficult, especially as she getting older" she was worried at her behaviour since she became ill.

"She's four years old, of course she going to get more difficult. You do realise that you've still got the teenage years to come don't you?"

"Greg just stop sneaking her food. Your just spoiling her"

"I'm not spoiling her" he defended knowing it was a pointless argument. "Your just jealous because she loves me more than you" he teased, earning him a smack on his arm.

Almost losing Erin had hit House hard, he knew that spoiling her now was only going to be worse in the long run but when he thought about that fact that she may not have been here at all, and they could be standing over her grave mourning her, he didn't want to think about the long term effects he wanted to take everyday as it came and count it as a blessing.

He didn't want to see a day when she cried unnecessarily or upset over something minute. Waking up every morning and seeing her laugh and smile and joke around just as she had been before becoming ill was all that he needed.

"I mean it Greg. We've got to work together, otherwise she's going to run rings around you"

"Fine" the grin plastered on his face was one that she had become accustomed to. When he wasn't in the mood for anything serious even if she was. Cameron knew that he was merely dismissing her rather than agreeing.
