Thanks for all the great reviews. This is one of the last chapters I have written up, so the updates may be coming in slower.

Chapter 3: Moving In

August 8th 2011- (10:00 a.m.)

I didn't have the chance to write last night. We did a lot of unpacking and laughing. I guess Foreman and Chase are okay. I'm still angry at how they deserted mom, but they let me mock them. They were nice to us too; I can tell that Foreman feels guilty. Chase is a little weird but I have fun imitating his accent. I heard Uncle Jimmy say to Lisa (I don't feel right calling her 'Aunt' yet) that I was just like House in the way that I mocked Chase. I can't stop though, it's so fun. Mom told me that I had a nightmare last night. I told her that I didn't remember, but I did. So, here it is:

I was in the viewing room. I was watching the surgery, and I wasn't supposed to be there but Uncle Jimmy had pulled some strings because he knew how scared I was. She's the only parent I have. Dani had gone to see Uncle Jimmy. He wasn't operating and she was being stubborn. She wanted reassurance that mom would make it for sure. Anyway, I went to get a drink of water. I came back and was watching the surgery again; everything seemed to be going fine. Then, all of a sudden she started seizing. I was screaming and then she just stopped. The machine started beeping like it does on all those t.v. shows because her heart stopped. None of them remembered I was in there and I watched them try to bring her back. Only, this time it didn't work. She died right in front of me.

I woke up screaming, and mom rushed in. Dani could tell that I was having a nightmare and she went to get her. She sang me back to sleep like she usually does, but I scared the shit out of everyone else. I slept till ten today, and decided to write about my dream. On a happier note, we managed to confuse Chase and Foreman I hope they tell House what I said. I want him to get angry. That's all for now. We're going shopping. Dani and I need more summer clothes and I need to mail my letters.

Isabella walked into the house; her mother and Dani trailing close behind. They had given everyone directions and had a quick half an hour to themselves.

"This will be interesting."

"Yep." Cameron looked at her two daughters and they smiled.

"Can we mess with them a little? Please? That way if they talk to S.D. we can maybe piss him off a little." Dani was jumping up and down excitedly.

Cameron laughed. "I shouldn't even let you two be calling him Sperm Donor." She paused. "I guess we can mess, but only a little. What did you have in mind?"

Isabella's grin was devious and she said one word. "Daddy."

Chase and Foreman arrived and Isabella and Dani greeted them with polite smiles.

"Ready to start moving things? Mom and I are really picky; Dani's more go with the flow. The movers just kinda brought everything in the house and left it in the middle of the room so that we could paint. That's what we're starting with, painting."

"And you guys would've done all of this by yourself?" Foreman asked skeptically. He stepped into the house followed by Chase and handed her a bag filled with Chinese take-out, Chase giving the other to Dani.

"We can do anything we want. We managed on our own for years, never had a problem before. I don't get why you all think that we have problems."

It wasn't a lie. Isabella reassured herself silently. They would have been fine if they hadn't found out about the cancer. And even with the cancer, they had taken care of themselves.

"Come on in guys." Cameron greeted them standing slightly behind Isabella and Dani. She looked at the girls and a soft smile danced across her lips. She was holding a phone in her hand.

"Someone wants to talk to you guys. But before that, some quick introductions. Dani, this is Foreman and Chase. Chase, Foreman this is my youngest daughter Daniela."

Isabella accepted the phone and balanced it with her shoulder, stepping aside so that the two men could walk in.

"Hello?" A brilliant smile lit up her face at whatever the other person was saying.

"Hi Da- Uncle Seb." The fact that the word Dad had almost come from her mouth startled both Foreman and Chase. Neither Cameron seemed to notice their reactions though. Isabella continued her conversation, moving and unpacking the Chinese.

After a few minutes she paused again. "Okay, I promise. I love you too Da- Uncle Seb. Yeah, talk to you later. Bye." She handed the phone to Dani who dissolved into excited chatter in Italian.

"Ti amo Dadd - Zio Seb." Dani hung up the phone and blew her mother a kiss.

"He sends his love."

"Doesn't he always?" The three girls laughed and Foreman and Chase both filed away what had happened to tell House later on. They had decided as soon as they had heard that Cameron was coming back to get the two of them together. House hadn't been the same when she had left.

Even though House was a bastard, he needed Cameron, and they had thought that Cameron needed him. Now though, they weren't so sure. She seemed to be doing fine and the girls seemed to think of their 'Uncle' Seb in father like terms.

The doorbell rang and Isabella jumped up. "I got it." She opened the door and Foreman and Chase just barely saw her lunge into someone's arms.

When the person that Isabella had hugged stepped into the house Chase's jaw dropped. Wilson stood there with Cuddy.

"You didn't know?" Dani asked calmly from behind them. "We've been in contact with Uncle Jimmy for a while now."

"And not us?" Foreman was slightly hurt.

"Wilson found us, I didn't find him." Wilson cleared his throat behind them. Isabella was on his back. Even at eleven she was tiny. She could have easily passed for nine or even younger. Dani was the same at eight she had the height and weight of a six year old. Her mother could still carry the girl like it was nothing. Their height must have come from Cameron, because House was a tall man.

"I would appreciate it if you didn't tell House though. I need to be the one to tell him. He might kill you otherwise."

Cuddy shot them a look as he said that. Both nodded, knowing that their jobs would probably be on the line if they told House. Wilson embraced Cameron and whispered in her ear. She shook her head and he nodded.

None of them except for Isabella and Daniela knew about the cancer. Even Cuddy hadn't been informed. She had found out though, after looking at Cameron's medical files. She had been concerned, but had gotten over Wilson keeping it from her.

"Ready to start?" Isabella asked with a smile.

The two daughters had made a pact before the group had showed up. If they were going to stay here, they were going to face it head on. Stubbornness was something that everyone thought they got from her father, but was something that their mother had as well.

The group watched as Isabella and Dani disappeared and then reappeared with two buckets of paint each and some painting materials.

"Do we have some sort of game plan here?" Foreman asked.

"Yep." Cameron nodded. "We have a lot to get done, so we figured that two people get a room and paint it. That way we can get six rooms done."

"Logical." Chase mused.

"Thanks mate." Isabella grinned at him, her fake Australian accent matching his real one.

"Let's get started." Wilson sighed. He was use to Isabella's attitude, but the moments where she turned into a mini-House still took him by some surprise.

By ten, jet lag had set in and Isabella and Daniela had gone upstairs and collapsed in their room. The adults sat around, drinking and reminiscing. Cameron was awake to the surprise of her guests. When they had questioned her on her non-jet lag, she had told them it took her longer to become exhausted and she would be passing out tomorrow.

"So, tell me about your daughters." Foreman stretched the last word.

"What about them?"

"How did you get two?"

"Umm…I had sex?" When Foreman just stared at her she sighed. "How exactly do you want me to answer that? I didn't know I was pregnant when I left. By the time I finally found out I was gone and wasn't going back."

"Why not?" Chase demanded.

"If House wanted us gone when I only had Bella what makes you think that he would have wanted two daughters and a girlfriend." She stopped suddenly. "Dani, sweetie, go to bed."

The child in question appeared at the stairs and she looked at her mother. The adults were surprised that she had heard the tiny child at all.

"I went to Bella's room Mama and she was making funny noises. I think she's having a nightmare, but I didn't want to wake her up." At the end of Dani's sentence an ear piercing shriek was heard.

Cameron was out of her seat and up the stairs before anyone could even blink. The four remaining people looked at Dani in surprise. She looked back shyly at the three strangers and then shrugged and walked over to Wilson. He lifted her onto his lap and she sighed.

"Bella always comes in or I always go to Bella's room after Mama tucks us in and says good night again. She tells me a story then. She used to do it when Mama-" Dani stopped and shut her lips, looking so much like her mother it was scary. Now, curled up against Wilson Foreman and Chase could clearly see her baby blue House eyes.

"Bella, Bell, Sweetie, wake up." Isabella's eyes shot open and she fell into her mothers arms.

"Shh, baby its okay, I got you." Cameron ran a hand through the girl's hair and she curled into her mother.

"I had a nightmare."

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"No." There was a second of silence, and neither noticed that the four adults and Dani had come upstairs and were crowded silently around the doorway. "You died. But, this time you stayed dead."

Cameron was silent and held Isabella closer to her. "I'm very much alive right now baby, promise."

"I know. Will you sing to me mom?"

"What song?"

"Stand Back Up." As she named the song, Isabella snuggled down further into her bed, one of the few things set up and Cameron slipped down so her daughter could lean on her. Dani walked over and climbed onto the bed, hugging her sister and mother.

Cameron took a deep breath and began to sing, slowly and softly. The song always reminded her of her relationship with House.

"Go ahead and take your best shot,
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,
I'm laid out on the floor, but I've been here before,
I may stumble, yeah I might fall,
Only human aren't we all?
I might lose my way, but hear me when I say,

I will stand back up,
You'll know just the moment when I've have enough,
Sometimes I'm afraid, and I don't feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up,

I've been beaten up and bruised,
I've been kicked right off my shoes,
Been down on my knees more times than you'd believe,
When the darkness tries to get me,
There's a light that just wont let me,
It might take my pride, and my tears may fill my eyes,
But I'll stand back up,

I've weathered all these storms,
But I just turn them into wind, so I can fly,
What don't kill you makes you stronger,
When I take my last breath,
That's when I'll just give up,

So, go ahead to take your best shot,
Let 'er rip, give it all you've got,
You might win this round but you can't keep me down,

'Cause I'll stand back up,
And you'll know just the moment when I've had enough,
Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up,

You'll know just the moment when I've had enough,
Sometimes I'm afraid and I don't feel that tough,
But I'll stand back up."

By the time that she finished singing, Isabella was fast asleep, and Dani was sleepy. Cameron slipped out from underneath her daughter and ushered the four shocked people down the stairs to the kitchen, sending her youngest child to bed with a good night hug and kiss.

"What was that about?" Chase finally asked once they were downstairs.

"She had a nightmare."

"Well, I knew that, but she said- she said- that-"

"You died." Foreman cut in bluntly.

"Yeah." Cameron nodded at Foreman's statement and then said nothing else.

"You want to fill us in on that?"

"I almost died."

"How?"

"My heart stopped." Cameron was being sarcastic because she wasn't sure she was ready to tell them. Wilson could tell that Cameron didn't trust Foreman and Chase enough yet to tell them about the cancer.

"We should get going, it's been a long day and we have to work tomorrow, and I'm sure that the jet lag will be catching up with Cameron soon."

Cameron shot a grateful glance at Wilson and hugged everyone good-bye. She'd deal with everyone later on. Tomorrow Cameron would be seeing where her office was and getting settled. She didn't start work officially until next week.

The three Cameron's stepped out of the final store that they had gone to and collapsed in the food court. Isabella went and got them milkshakes and fries from McDonald's.

The three of them rarely ate fast food other then Subway, but all had an addiction to French Fries that they couldn't break.

"Where to next?" Isabella questioned. Her mother scrunched up her nose and shrugged. Dani sat quietly swinging her legs. Although she was smart and loud when she wanted to be, she was like her mother and also very tired.

"Let me talk to myself for a minute. We have our bedrooms painted, we did that this morning, we have the living room, dining room, kitchen, den, guest room and library painted courtesy of the company last night. The three bathrooms aren't changing. The kitchen and study are furnished; the den and dining room are too, except for some little things. We need to get the piano out of storage, and then the living room is finished too and we need to buy a futon for the guest room. Other then that we just have our rooms left to decorate; and we have to unpack the books for the library. I think we're done." The selection of books they had was too big to fit in just living space, which was why they had a library. Some books weren't even in English, but all were loved.

Dani smiled. "Is it weird that we have such a big house? I mean, we use to live in huts."

Cameron shrugged. "I know it feels weird, but we have so much stuff. Plus, that way when Seb comes to visit or Lizzie and Alex they can just crash with us. And I really like the house, don't you?"

"I love it!" Isaeblla exclaimed enthusiastically. "But at the same time I feel bad. We could've spent that money on something else."

"Grandma Joan would've killed us if we gave all the money away, you know that."

Joan was Ethan's mother. The two had been close even after his death years ago and she thought of Isabella and Daniela as her granddaughters. Because Ethan was an only child, when Joan had died two years ago (right around Cameron's cancer problems) all the money had gone to the Cameron women.

Joan had dictated in her will what she had wanted done with it. She had told them that the money they got from selling her house would be used to buy them a house. Her lawyer would make sure that they used it the way she wanted them too. Not one to argue with the wishes of a dying woman, Cameron had agreed.

Now, she was very happy that she had followed the woman's wishes. With some of the money left over from the sale of the house, they would be able to buy more furniture for the house and anything they felt that they needed for their house to become a home.

Joan Cambius had left them all of her money. Enough was to go to Isabella and Daniela to help them through college and whatever degrees they wanted to get to. Some was to go to charities of their choice.

"Well then, let's go home, drop this stuff off, do a little unpacking, and then head over to your work for a little while where we can do more unpacking, I can write to family and Dani can draw."

"So really you mean, I can unpack and you guys can write and draw."

"Sure. Let's go." The three finished their snack and headed towards the outside of the mall.

For any of you that didn't get that Ethan was Cameron's dead husband. Also, Foreman and Chase don't know that House made Cameron leave, so neither of them are angry with him.

Tell me what you think.

Next chapter... someone talks to House
