Here you go: Sorry it took so long. School is back.

Chapter 21: Deals

November 13 2011

Mom and Dad just took Blythe out of the library to talk to her about something. I don't know what. We're sitting in here. We heard Jonathon storm out. It was odd. I've never had grandparents fight in front of us. It was really weiard. They went in the kitchen which means that we can't hear anything. And Mom has the sixth sense when it comes to us trying to listen to conversations (I always like to know what's going on and Dani usually gets dragged into my evil schemes) so that's out. Dani's rolling her eyes at me. I'm going to go try and convince her that we need to find out what's going on.

Blythe followed Allison and Greg into the kitchen.

"John stormed out." She observed quietly.

"Yes." Greg went to the fridge and pulled out three bottles of water. Allison hopped onto the counter and caught the water Greg tossed at her.

They had discussed how to tell his parents earlier, and Greg had pretty much predicted their actions.

"We talked about this earlier Mom." She looked at him in surprise and Greg smiled.

"It's one of those things, ya'know? We're getting married, so we figured we'd have to tell you eventually."

He chanced a glance at his fiancée who gave him a reassuring smile.

"We want you to be in their lives – but if Dad can't accept us we don't want him to visit with you. Bella and Dani don't need to be exposed to him."

Blythe looked between the two. Allison was letting Greg doing the talking but her eyes were steadily focused on him as if giving him strength.

"I understand."

"So, we have a proposition for you." Allison spoke this time, her voice quiet.

"You live about five hours away, and we know that you'll probably be leaving soon. Once a month, maybe more, maybe less – depending we could meet you half way. Maybe for a weekend, or dinner or lunch."

Blythe stared at Allison Cameron for a minute – and then she smiled at her almost daughter in-law.

"I think that I would like that very much."

She met Greg's eyes and he grinned – an honest to God grin at her. She hadn't seen him smile like that in years. Not since before his leg.

Greg nodded. "Okay, now that's settled. Everyone should be over soon – Mom, you're welcome to stay."

Two hours later Chase, his new girlfriend Molly, Wilson, Cuddy and Foreman, his very pregnant wife Anita and his son Timmy were all crowded into the living room.

"We should do this more often." House surveyed the room. It was a smallish group, but is was fun.

Bella and Dani were enthralled by Timmy. Allison had told him that they always loved playing with younger children. It pained him that they couldn't have anymore, but he was grateful for his two beautiful daughters.

Blythe had decided to go home with the promise to call and set up a date. Isabella and Daniela seemed to like her, which was a major plus.

"I can't believe we're doing this." Allison stood in front of a mirror, her hands loosely at her sides.

"Get it Mama. I love it. You look beautiful."

Isabella nodded. "You have to buy it Mom."

"I have to?" Allison teased back as she smiled at her children.

"Yes. You have to. Daddy will love it."

"I'm going to freeze in this." She warned her daughters.

"You are not Mama." Dani protested.

"And we like our dresses. Did you see them?" Isabella was hopping from one foot to the other.

"I helped you pick them out."

"Aren't they pretty?" Allison sighed and looked in the mirror.

For some insane reason her and Greg had decided to let the girls and Wilson plan the wedding. The girls had begged and pleaded and Allison and Greg had decided to let the girls plan – but Wilson had to help and also deal with taking care of the bills for the two.

The girls had each chosen a simple dress. They had decided to go with the same color dresses because they both liked them.

Each dress was one color with an accent color on the top and the bottom. There was a corset like tie in the back and the dress flared out a little when each girl spun.

The accent color was a royal blue while the actual dresses were navy. And then there was the dress that Allison was wearing. The one Bella and Dani wanted her to buy.

It was a strapless dress with a ball gown bottom and had royal beading on the top. The dress was a wine red and it fit Allison perfectly.

She had decided not to wear white because nothing about their relationship had ever been traditional, and why start now?

"Mama, buy it."

"I don't know."

"Allison." She turned around to meet Wilson's eyes. He was grinning at her.

"Bella called me. She said that you needed more opinions. I think you should buy it. Greg'll love it."

"Are you sure?" She looked in the mirror again biting her lip. "I don't know. I mean its so much and -"

"Allison. I'm positive. Buy the dress." Allison shook her head and disappeared into the dressing room appearing moments later holding the dress.

"I can't believe I'm doing this."

"You'll look beautiful." Was all Wilson said in reply with a grin.

Dani and Bella jumped up and down excitedly and exchanged hi-fives with Wilson when Allison's back was turned.

"Close your eyes Daddy! Close your eyes!" Daniela ran her father and climbed onto his lap ever mindful of his leg. He was sitting on the couch watching the news and waiting for his girls to get home.

"Why Dani?"

She shook her head and her tiny arms reached and covered his eyes.

"Because I said so."

"Oh. That's a good reason." He kept his eyes closed knowing that he could probably see if he opened them even with Dani's hands.

"You used it last night when you said it was bedtime."

"Well, I'm the parent, you're the child."

"Umm-hmmmm." Bella and Allison walked in with the dresses and practically ran to Dani's room to hide them where Greg couldn't get them

"Okay." Dani let her hands slid off of his face before smiling at him innocently.

"Hi Daddy."

"Oh? Now I get the sweet and innocent act?"

"Yep." His arms went out and he began to tickle her.

"Daddy!"

"Say mercy." Dani laughed harder and began to try and tickle him back when he felt another presence next to him. Bella started tickling him and he let go of Dani and called for Allison to help him as the two attacked him.

He caught Allison's eye and smiled at her. He loved his family and couldn't wait to make it official.

Okay so there are about two more chapters and then an epilogue. I don't know when the epilogue will take place so if you have any suggestions, they're welcome.
