Married Life

Author's Note: I do not own House, lol. Cameron would still be married to Chase if I did. Thanks for those who requested that I continue. I dedicate this chapter to you!

Chapter 12: Just When It All Gets Easy…

Allison: 4 ½ months pregnant. Bailey: 13 months old.

Cameron's POV

I heard the beeping of my alarm. I rose up, leaning over to hit the button and start my day when I remembered…today was my day off! I smiled and kissed Robert awake. "Rob, honey, it's time to get up!" I sang in his ear. He grinned slightly, still asleep and mumbled "Oh, Allie…" I snickered and smacked him upside the head to wake him again. He finally jolted awake, and shot straight up. "What? Who? What's going on?" he asked, his voice still clouded with sleep. "It's time to wake up, sweetheart." I said, kissing the side of his head.

He nodded, but curled back to sleep. I laughed, "Robert! Now!" I said, pushing him. I apparently pushed too hard and he fell off the bed. With a loud thud, and a resounding "MOTHER F-" Luckily, he left off the last part. Otherwise, he'd be in the doghouse tonight. I leaned over, "Sorry honey." I said, apologetically. He looked up at me, and rolled his eyes. I helped him up, he held a hand firmly to the back of his head. The thud sound was when his head had collided with the hardwood floor.

I helped him get ready, and told him that I would be by later to enjoy lunch with him. He smiled, and went on to work. After a few more hours of sleep, I awoke to the sound of my son calling out for me. "Mommy's coming, Bailey-bear!" I said, swinging out of bed, and dashing down the hall. When I came into his room, he was standing in the crib and his little hands were reaching out to me. My heart tugged and I quickly picked him up, and kissed him as I walked out of his room and downstairs. I set him down on the floor, and turned on his favorite CD. He quickly started bopping around to the music and let me make him and myself breakfast.

"So, Bailey, you and I are going to eat breakfast and spend some quality time today. Then, we're going to the hospital to eat lunch with Daddy. How does that sound?" I said, when I had gotten his cereal made. He grinned up at me, and I laughed when I saw how much his grin looked like Robert's. Moments like these made me seriously consider giving up my job. Then I remembered how much I loved my job, and how it had brought me all this. That always got me itching to return to work, after a day off.

I set Bailey in his high chair, and began the double-task of feeding Bailey and myself at roughly the same time. Bailey was a picky, but fast eater. He wanted his food, and when he wanted it there would be no waiting for my child. I then laid him down for a little nap, while I got dressed into a nice skirt and shirt. My more comfortable mom clothes, but also classy enough to go into the hospital and eat lunch with my husband. I wasn't really showing yet. There was just a slight roundness in my cheeks and stomach that let people know that I was expecting. My parents were so thrilled when we told them, that they came early for Bailey's birthday party. That was a blast, by the way. Planning and having Bailey's first birthday party. I already felt so old, now that he had turned 1 made me feel even older.

Robert had taken a little while to get used to the fact that we were having another baby, but he finally came around when I dragged him to my ultrasound. He melted at the heartbeat, and was about to cry when they showed us the little jellybean.

I changed Bailey into some regular clothes, and we were off on our Mother-Son adventure day.

Chase's POV

Jeez, my head is killing me. Not all over, just at the back. Where my head slammed on the floor this morning. Thanks, Allie, but I'd rather take the alarm if it's all the same to you. Feels like someone just performed cranial surgery…while I was awake and punched my brain a few times before they closed up shop. Not to mention, I've been working crazy hours, running after my son and taking care of my pregnant wife. So, I'm a little stressed. I try not make waves about how crappy I feel, but sometimes…I can't help it.

After chasing House around the hospital for what seemed like an eternity, I was off to work in the clinic. After a few patients, this man came in. I checked the file, and noticed that this person wasn't the person mentioned in the file. How did I know? Well, unless his parents were unnaturally cruel, his name wasn't Alexis Hannigan. (XD, sorry, I've been watching Angel a lot lately) I looked at him, and sat down on the exam table. I was exhausted and in pain. My head was still throbbing mercilessly, and my back was killing me now. "Sorry, sir, but if you're not in the-" Suddenly, there was a gun in my face.

Cameron's POV

After a wonderful morning of shopping and playing with Bailey, it was time to go visit Robert at work. I pulled into the parking lot, and started going into the building. I didn't get far beyond the lobby when I heard gun shots, and screams. Then, the automated voice came on and told everyone to evacuate immediately. I looked around wildly, then looked at Bailey. I had to be a doctor now, and get everyone out safely. With my son on my hip, and my second child in my belly, I started helping people out of the building. When they tried to sass me, I said in a cold voice. "I'm sorry, sir/ma'am, but I'm a doctor at this hospital and we've been given direct orders to get you out safely. Now, if you don't mind.." I said, gently nudging them towards the crowded exits. I looked around, trying to find Robert. I found Lisa and the others…all but 2 were there. I hugged Lisa, gasping for air as my airways threatened to constrict. Where was my husband?

"Lisa..where is he?" I choked, trying to hide my emotions from Bailey. Lisa's face was ashen. "Greg and Robert haven't been spotted since the man was reported in the building." she said, tears filling her eyes. I felt my knees go weak, and I felt woozy. She grabbed, and steadied me before I could fall with Bailey in my arms. "Robert…?" I moaned, looking wildly for him once more.

Lisa hugged me, "I know..trust me, I know." and we both cried together. Thirteen was trying to help get everyone out, and that included us. "Come on, guys. We have to get out of here." she said, her voice tight with stress. If that's what her voice sounded like without a loved one in there, I could only imagine what mine sounded like. We walked out, and found the police officers in charge. "Officers, I'm the Dean of Medicine; Dr. Lisa Cuddy-House, and this one of my staff members; Dr. Allison Cameron-Chase. Two members of our staff are unaccounted for. Have they been sighted?"

"That would depend, doctor. What are their names and what were they wearing?" he asked, a slight New Jersey accent saturating his speech.

Lisa looked at me, and nodded. "Dr. Gregory House, and Dr. Robert Chase. Greg was wearing a black sports coat, blue shirt and jeans. He has short grey hair, and a cane. He walks with a limp so he should be easy to spot."

"Robert was wearing a green button-up, and some dark khakis. He has long blonde hair, and talks with an Australian accent. He should be wearing his lab coat, and if he's not wearing that then he's wearing some surgerical scrubs." I said, pulling out my billfold to find a suitable picture of him. I found one taken of the 2 of us on Bailey's birthday. We had arms around each other, and weren't really smiling. We were just staring off into space. Actually, you can't see it but we were watching Bailey and Audrey have fun together. I then pulled out another picture, one of House and Audrey. This was taken a few months ago, but it works. Audrey had a sly smile on her face, as she attempted to pull on her daddy's cane.

I looked down at Bailey, and lifted him up so the officer could see him. "Officer, this is why it is of extreme importance that you find these men. These men are doctors, husbands, fathers and friends. I'm expecting our second child. Lisa and Greg have 2 little girls together. Don't break up our families. Please…find our husbands." I said, crying as I brought Bailey back close to my chest.

Lisa was on the phone, calling House's cell. Over and over. "Greg, its Lisa. Listen, I'm really worried…so if you could call back soon, and let me know you're okay..that'd be great. I love you." she hung up, and looked back at the hospital. "Let's pray he doesn't say anything stupid this time." I nodded, pulling out my own phone to call my own husband.

It rang, and rang and rang. Suddenly, his voice on the other end was clear but it was just a voicemail. "Hi, this is Robert. I'm either working or spending time with my family right now, and you're simply too unimportant for me to care. Unless you're my wife, and in which case I'm fine, Allie. Leave your message after the-" The beep came, and I cleared my throat so I could speak clearly. "Hey Rob, it's Allie. Honey, if you could just call me back. I'm really worried about you. Lisa has been calling House nonstop and we can't get ahold of either of you. I just need to know you're safe. Bailey and I love you. Call me soon, okay?" I hung up the phone, and waited for news of my husband.

Author's Note: I know the whole shooting thing has been done before, but I really wanted to do this. Because in the other stories, they let you know what's happening where the hostages are..but with this one, you won't know until Cameron knows. HAHAH! I'm evil. Plus, if you're curious…when Robert hit the floor he got a slight concussion. Because she pushed him with such force, and he was completely asleep…so he flew off the bed!
