House woke up with an unfamiliar feeling and he couldn't quite place until he opened his eyes and saw a sleeping Cameron facing him. She was no more than a couple inches from him lying on her stomach with his arm wrapped around her exposed back. Usually at this time he would have to get up and rub the numbness out of his leg, but the part of his brain that was reveling in this new sensation of Cameron was above the need of his leg.

He couldn't and didn't want to move, just wanted to lye there and take in this new sight. All her features were relaxed and he noticed that even in her sleep her mouth formed an endearing grin. Without realizing it House's hand started gliding his hand up and down her back, not to wake her up but as if his body was trying to make up for the loss of time feeling her.

There had been nothing he had done to deserve this feeling of having her next to him. All his life was spent pushing, prodding, and puzzling people about how they ticked. Cameron above all had been subjected to his harsh treatment and yet he never really understood why she put up with him or even wanted him. But laying here with her with everything he had been through in past couple of years he came to a realization that maybe this one thing, Cameron, didn't have to be explained. She just was, no reason needed. She was anomaly that couldn't and didn't need explaining. If this is what she wanted why should he need to know if she had motives. For once he was just going to let things be.

His epiphany was intruded upon by light shining from his opening doorway. His eyes squinted trying to readjust to the light and saw Wilson standing there. House sat up while moving the sheet up to cover Cameron's back.

"House!" Wilson said in a low exasperated voice so as not to wake the woman lying next to House. He couldn't really see her with the morning darkness in the room but could still make out the feminine form next to his friend.

"Wilson!" House mocked back in the same tone.

"Who is that!" Wilson said like his intentions were obvious.

"Who is who?" House answered back faking ignorance.

"I thought we agreed when we moved in together you wouldn't have any more hookers," Wilson waited for a reply but when all he got was a confused look from House he continued, "I know you are upset about Cameron not coming back but falling back into old habits won't help."

"Lecture me later at work I'll meet you there," House said half annoyed half amused that Wilson was oblivious to his sleeping partner's true identity.

"You're going to be late."

"I have been coming in on time for awhile… Cuddy has had it too easy, so time for a reminder of how I used to be," House said giving a stare to his friend that said the conversation was over.

"Fine but you're cleaning your own sheets," Wilson said and shut the doors.

Now that the pestering interruption was gone House laid back down deciding he just wanted to lye next to Cameron for a while. Once next to her House put his hand back over her back and started to relax.

"Did Wilson just call me a hooker?" Cameron said in fake annoyance opening up her eyes.

House was a little startled but recovered quickly, "I thought it was interesting I thought it was the blonde hair that made you look like a hooker."

Cameron lazily picked up her arm closest to House and weakly shoved him, "I didn't see you correcting him."

"Hey no abusing the cripple," he said playfully, "besides if I told him it was you he would have went all girl on me and ask me to wake you up so he could jump up and down with you screaming how great it is to have you back. Besides he looked at you for awhile so he is probably in his car having dirty thoughts."

Cameron thought for a moment, "So those dirty thoughts he creates will be with some random girl and not me… in some backwards way that is your version of sweetness."

House leaned over gave a quick gentle kiss, "Knew you would understand."

"Or it could be by letting him not know it was me it will be more fun later when he realizes it is me and revenge will be sweeter," Cameron said knowingly.

"I knew there was a reason I missed you," House said leaning over, kissing her again and dragging her up to her side and closer to him.

When she got closer to House she got a smug smile.

"What?" House asked in a low lazy voice.

Cameron moved her leg closer to House's lap, "Seems you missed me in another way."

"Guess so," House said rolling over on top of her and kissing her.

House was lying on his back with Cameron's head on the side of his chest, House running in fingers through her hair. They had been lying in comfortable silence for a while just taking in each other's presence.

"Can I as you something?" Cameron said softly.

House laughed a little, "Devious, wait to ask me a question while I am vulnerable in the afterglow feeling of awesome sex… I have taught you well."

"Thought you would appreciate that," Cameron said tilting her head up to show him her grin.

House ran his hand down her back, "Okay shoot."

Cameron took a breath, "I know it doesn't really matter given the situation but when I left you were relentlessly pursuing Cuddy… what happened."

House was a little shocked by the question, "Well you sort of weren't available at the time."

"I know when you're deflecting," she said teasingly.

House looked into her expecting eyes and sighed, "After you left I realized Cuddy and I wanted different things and I stopped going after her."

Cameron started drawing lazy circles on his chest with her finger, "What things?"

"One day I went into Cuddy's office and Lucas and Rachel were in there with her. Lucas was holding Rachel up by the arms helping her stand. I only gave them a glance and continued harassing Cuddy about a treatment I need for a patient. Lucas then gasps and Cuddy and I look over and Rachel is walking. She walked right over to me and took hold of my cane. I looked up and saw the look in Cuddy's and even Lucas's eyes, they were emotional over the whole thing and… I felt nothing," House confessed.

"So because you didn't feel anything when Cuddy's kid walked you gave up on your feelings for her?" Cameron asked still wondering.

"Cuddy needs someone who is going to be just as excited as her when the kid does its' little accomplishments. Lucas may be an idiot but he cares for them and they deserve someone who can be happy for them. After that my feelings pretty much disappeared."

Cameron paused for a moment, "Why don't you think you felt anything in her office."

House decided since he had been truthful so far might as well keep going, "Wilson tried telling me it was that I didn't spend time with Cuddy and her kid like Lucas does and just like Wilson that is the ration way of looking at it."

"Nothing about you is rational," Cameron smiled giving him encouragement to continue.

House smiled back knowing she got him, "I once told Cuddy when she was looking for a sperm donor that genes mattered. Cuddy and Lucas have no biological connection to that kid yet they treat it as if it were. If I am going to get feel anything over a child waking it is going to have to be my own damn kid and not the result of two stupid teenagers making a mistake…. I guess that doesn't make much since."

Cameron was startled by the admission and not what she expected, "No it makes quite a bit of sense. I may be miss overly caring but I can understand that." Cameron paused wondering if she should pose the next question that was begging to be asked from his statement but she knew it would be too soon and pushy.

"Allison unclench… and ask I told you I am going to be honest with you," House said feeling the distress in her body.

"Do you ever wish that you had kids," Cameron asked still with bated breath.

"Yes and no. It only took me fifty years but I am not opposed to the idea. It also isn't a priority," House said calmly.

Cameron leaned up and placed another gentle kiss on his lips.

After a little bit of silence House decided to break the tension, "It is too early now but if we get to the point I would have a kid with you if that is what you wanted."

"Thank you," she leaning up and wrapping her hands around his neck and giving him another long gentle kiss, "but you're right it is too early."

House smirked and kept looking at her eyes, "Until then I can just keep doing this," House said gliding his hand down her back to her ass and gave a playful squeeze.

Cameron swatted his chest playfully, "How long have you wanted to grab my stunning little ass."

House smirked at his own words and kissed her, "Too long."

A/N: Yes I have lied to my readers. This is not the last chapter and no there will not be a sequel. I have decided to keep continuing this fic. To me it is practically the same thing, although the title won't be too representative of a stretched out story but oh well. Another reason is I have quite a few story alerts for this and so why make people story alert a sequel when the story can just stay here.

Thanks to those who reviewed and added this story to their alerts.

Disclaimer: Seems everybody does this so just let you know I don't own House. If I did Cameron would still be on the show and not shoved off for no reason.
