Here for you

(7/?)

"Mommy can you read me a story?" Erin was unwilling falling asleep, Cameron had tried for hours to get her to go to bed, but as stubborn as Erin was she had refused. She ad been waiting for House who was called into work earlier that day, to come home. House had told her that he would be back before she goes e to bed.

"I've already read a story now it's time for you to go to bed baby" trying her hardest not to loose her patience with the little girl who although was not biologically House's daughter had adopted his annoying traits.

"But mommy I'm not tried yet I don't want to go to sleep" Cameron kissed the top of her head and got up to switch the light off.

"Mommy please I promise I'll go to sleep if you read me one story" begging her mother to not leave her just yet.

Cameron knew from experiences that it wouldn't just be one story and she would not go to sleep and this would probably continue until House came Home or she clasped with exhaustion.

deciding to be firm Cameron shut the door after saying "Goodnight sweetie"

As soon as she left Cameron heard a scream filled with temper as Erin threw a tantrum in her bed room, the scream was followed by "I want my Daddy, I want my Daddy"

Cameron closed her eyes, it was so hard for her to not just go back into her room and try to console her. But she needed to be firm with her she couldn't let Erin win every time, it was better that she ignore it and let Erin console her self.

If House had been home he would have been in there without question reading her stories until she fell asleep.

Cameron made her to the kitchen seeking her purse she had left on the counter. Rummaging the contents of the bag she found what she was looking for. After allot of thought and questioning what she should do she had decided that it was best to just do a home pregnancy test. The less people who knew the better.

She knew she was worrying over nothing, if she was pregnant House would love the baby just as much as he loved Erin. It may take a while for him to get used to being a father again but he was a great father to Erin even if he did have to work on his discipline skills.

Still listening to the cries and screams of Erin who was at last starting to wear her self out and was almost falling asleep, Cameron sat on the bathroom floor holding the positive pregnancy test in her hands.

She knew that it was going to read positive, but it still came as a shock when it showed two blue lines. She was sat holding the third test that she had taken, just to be sure.

She wasn't sure how she was supposed to feel about it, she had always wanted to be a mother, she knew that she could after raising Erin but all she could think about was how was she going to tell House, what will Erin say to having a little brother or sister.

Cameron put all the tests and the packaging in the bathroom bin and went to check on Erin who had been quiet for some time.

Erin tearstained face was buried n the pillows as she slept, she looked so angelic curled up in a ball on her bed, no one would ever believe that this was the same little girl who had such a temper not so long ago. .

"I love you so much" She kissed her gently on her forehead and tucked her blanket around her before leaving the room.

HCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHCHC

Not for the first time House felt firing one of his lackeys for stupidity. All he wanted to do was to make a diagnosis or at the very least be able to keep their patient in a stable condition so that he can go home, this was supposed to be his time off, he was supposed to be sitting at home watching television with his feet up with Cameron making him a cup of coffee and Erin fast asleep in bed.

He had sent his team to run tests and was now alone in his office, picking up his phone dialling home. It rang three times before he got an answer.

"Hey"

"Hi, I thought you'd be home hours ago" she sounded as if her mind was occupied on something else.

"I thought I'd be home hours ago, and I would have been if it wasn't for this patient" Cameron laughed lightly, it always amused her how irritated he got with his patients for just being there.

"Oh I'm sorry dear, if only there where no patients, it would make your job so much easier wouldn't it"

"As a matter of fact that exactly what we should do, I'll pass the idea on to cuddy see what she thinks about having a patient-less hospital," even though her light laughter over the phone House knew that something was wrong.

"Allison is everything all right?"

"Yeah, apart from little miss Erin not wanting to go to bed without saying goodnight to you everything been fine. Why do ask?"

"Was she really bad?"

"As bad as she ever gets, not that bad. She just cried herself to sleep after screaming for about fifteen minutes. She's really testing us, I really hope this doesn't go on for much longer"

"She just knows what she wants and doesn't like to be told no"

"That sounds vaguely familiar, a buy I know s exactly like that, you might know…"

"HEY" cutting her off "I should be able to leave in about an hour or so, if not I'll call you"

"Okay,"

"See you soon"

Hanging up the phone House had a strange feeling that Cameron had something to tell him, she didn't sound upset or angry but he knew that she had wanted to say something but had decided against it.
