Because of all the wonderful reviews I got (and because I'm enjoying this story a lot more than usual) I've updated quicker than the norm! So thanks everyone for your support and the reviews! :)

Enjoy :)

The secretary belonging to this really classy, take-no-nonsense airport that rented private jets to celebrities and evidently rescued animals from the wilderness eyes lit up when Wilson slapped down a check on the counter that was a very generous sum. It was way more than what he should've paid, but since he was desperate to get their attention, they sucked more money out of him than usual. Wilson didn't seem to notice or care that he was taken for a ride from these people. As long as they gave him a plane, he didn't care how much it cost.

Cameron was just excited that they were actually going somewhere. Staying cooped up in hotel rooms that ranged from cheep to pricy for the past three weeks due to the lack of reservations was tough. To top that off, she had to listen to Wilson yell on the phone daily for hours at a time, stepping beside himself. Now, he was glowing. It was a wonderful thing to see.

However, there was still an even greater chance they wouldn't be found. So they ended up getting over one hurdle, there was still one great one to go. Wilson had everything mapped out, right down to the way the wind blew House and Cuddy off course the first night.

When they got settled into the jet, Wilson mapped out the coordinates they were at right now while at the airport and marked it down on the map. He was just as into this as he was since day one, only now that it was finally happening, he couldn't sit still. He jabbered on about what course they should take and since the wind was hitting them southeast, it was better they swayed off course and hit House and Cuddy's course a little differently. Cameron admired Wilson's determination. After being with him for the past three weeks, every single day, she's learned a lot about him when he was able to talk properly and not yell.

Now, he put a big smile on her face. They virtually had no chance in finding House and Cuddy, alive or dead. The Pacific is a huge ocean and to find two people in the allotted three hours they were given, it just didn't seem feasible. Cameron admired Wilson's optimism. She only hoped he wouldn't fall if the search became a failure.

-----------------

"See, I told you that you were pregnant," House said as Cuddy came back after excusing herself for the second time that morning to step out of the cave to lose the rest of her breakfast.

Cuddy had been in denial the entire time because of their current situation. She didn't want to have a baby on the island and probably should've been more careful. But who thinks of the consequences before sex? If things weren't bad already, they were about to get worse.

"Oh great, why are you crying now? Is this another hormonal issue I have to deal with?" House asked, fighting off another wave of nausea, due to an undiagnosed sickness of his own.

Cuddy hid her face from House. He could tell she was crying because of her shoulders twitching. He would've said something but ended up turning over to one side and coughing as if he had something caught in his throat. Cuddy didn't seem to notice.

"Uh…hello? I'm kind of dying over here," he said sarcastically when she didn't so much as make a smidgen of eye contact.

"Oh, so I'm supposed to be concerned for you but you can't be concerned for me?" she shot back.

"Why should I be concerned for you? You're pregnant. Your symptoms are natural and not frowned upon. Mine, however, are not normal."

"That's not the point," she murmured, tossing him a damp leaf to bring the fever down.

The leaf hit him in the face. "Well, thanks a lot. So what is the point then?"

Cuddy shook her head and scooted away from him. A tear slid down her cheek. "Forget it. You don't understand. I was an idiot for thinking you just might."

He grabbed a hold of her wrist just seconds before she was too far away to reach.

"I'm sick, Cuddy," he said in all seriousness, looking up at her. "I don't know what I'm saying."

"Right, House, so is that going to be your excuse all the time? This isn't the first time you've been this way with me. Every time you open your mouth, something negative is thrown at me. I might be carrying your baby on a deserted island with no rescue in sight." Cuddy was worried and her face showed it. "Do you know how serious that is? For me and for the baby?"

House nodded almost unnoticeably. "I know. I'm sorry."

Cuddy shook her head, letting loose another tear. "No you're not. You're a selfish bastard and I should've known you'd never change," she murmured and attempted to get away once more.

What she didn't expect was for House to pull her by the wrist and initiate a kiss. He pulled her so hard that she lost her balance while shifting away and crashed down upon him. It happened so quickly that she didn't have time to put her arms out and stop her from falling over him. A tiny cry was muffled when their lips met.

Cuddy melted in his arms. His kisses did that to her, no matter what frame of mind she was in. She almost forgot why she wanted to flee in the first place.

"House, no," she breathed onto his wet, salty lips, due to her tears getting in the way.

"No what?"

"You can't keep covering up what you want to say with a kiss and trying to distract me from the truth."

House frowned. "Huh?"

"Just say it," she said, looking into his eyes lovingly and cupping his cheek.

Acting like an idiot, House kept his frown and pretended to have no idea what she was talking about.

"I've said it to you twice already. I know it's hard for you, but I don't know how much longer we'll be here alone together, whether we get rescued, or we…one of us dies."

"You expect me to spill my guts to you just because you might die carrying that parasite?"

"I want you to be honest with yourself for a change," she said, tone a little angrier than expected.

"You just want peace of mind when you die a lost cause."

More tears came to Cuddy's eyes. She was a fool for thinking it could be that easy. Did she suddenly forget who she was talking to? Heartless Greg House. Just because he's on a deserted island and has been with her for six weeks straight, sleeping by her side, and exchanging some very passionate moments, he was still the same man she boarded the plane with to go to Japan. What fantasy was she living in to think she could change it?

"Why do you have to be that way? Why can't you admit how you feel?" She was officially grasping at straws. It was her last resort with him to be so low as to try to reason with him.

"I am admitting how I feel. Get off me, you're crushing my lungs," he said, pushing her off to the side and dramatically taking in breaths. "How much do you weigh anyway?"

"I love you," Cuddy erupted suddenly before giving it too much thought.

House looked over at her with wide eyes, completely expecting to hear anything but that come out of her mouth.

"Even though you're an egotistical, self-seeking narcissist, these past six weeks met something to me and I know they met something to you, too. And don't you dare just say it was only the sex part."

He shrugged. "Then I guess it didn't mean anything. Take a nap. You'll feel better when you wake up."

"So…if we ever get off this island, you're not going to be in the baby's life?" Cuddy was hurt. Her voice said it all.

House shifted over onto his side. "Cuddy, where have you been lately? We're not leaving this island alive. I've accepted that already. Having the baby on the island, I have no choice but to be here. Where else am I going to go?"

Cuddy's mouth went dry. What other answer was she expecting? She wasn't exactly making love to a saint here. Where it meant something to her, it didn't mean anything to him. She would just have to accept it.

"All you had to do was ask me to be in the…baby's life. You didn't have to fill my head with false hope," he said sarcastically.

"I wasn't kidding, House," she said. "At this point, does it really look like I want to joke around? I'm trying to be reasonable and you're still an ass."

"I'm SICK!" he said, face sickly falling pale again and the area around his eyes getting redder. "I feel like I have to vomit around the clock and you want me to tell you I love you? You've been after Little Greg since we've been here. Did you really expect not to become pregnant?"

Cuddy's eyes went wide. "Me?! You think this is MY fault? You're the one who couldn't keep your hands off me!" she yelled, voice echoing in the small cave, causing House to wince.

"Indoor voices," he said quietly.

"To hell with you if you think I'm going at this alone," she said venomously. "I may have wanted sex the first time, but all the other times, you're the one who wanted it from me. It was a joint effort, House. I certainly didn't get myself pregnant!"

House rolled his eyes and slapped his hand over his face. Saying he loved her might have saved himself a headache right now.

Cameron was bored. Two hours of nothing but the Pacific staring back at you while you're up two miles in the sky wasn't exactly her idea of a good time. They have yet to reach their destination where Wilson thinks that the wind that evening the plane went down had shifted House and Cuddy. Wilson planned to follow the trail of coordinates in the same way that the weather and sea patterns were that evening of the crash. From there, they would head northwest. There were hundreds of uncharted islands up north, just east of Japan and heading further east, all the way to Alaska. Thanks to a weather satellite and some very good planning and thinking, Wilson had an idea that if there was any floating debris over a hundred pounds, it would float slower than normal, cutting the trail back a few miles.

Cameron admired his willpower. If she didn't have Wilson being as assertive as he was, she would have accepted House and Cuddy's death at the funerals. If there was any chance at all that House and Cuddy could be brought home, she wanted to be a part of it.

She wasn't ready to say goodbye yet.
