There was an incessant beeping ringing in her ears. Thirteen reached over and hit the alarm clock, but it didn't stop.
"Mmm," the blonde next to her rolled over and picked up her pager, "It's me."
Thirteen squinted against the morning light and groaned.
Cameron smiled as she sat up. "You're definitely not a morning person."
Thirteen shook her head into the pillow. She turned on her side to look at Cameron, "You have to go?"
Cameron looked at her pager and nodded.
Thirteen moved to that she could kiss Cameron. Cameron smiled at when her lips touched Thirteen's and chuckled when the other doctor fell back onto the bed.
Cameron bent down, swept the hair off of Thirteen's neck and kissed it. Then she whispered in Thirteen's ear, "Don't get out of bed until I get home."
A tired smile crossed the younger doctor's lips.
With another kiss, Cameron was out of bed and getting dressed.
"Aren't you going to ask why I swallowed drain cleaner?" a man asked Cameron as he sat on a gurney in the ER.
Cameron shook her head, "I've learned it's best not to ask." She handed him a small cupful of brown liquid, "Drink that." She handed him a bucket, "Puke in here."
She walked to the next bed and picked up the chart. "Mrs. Gregorski."
"She went home," House said from the bed.
Cameron looked up and raised an eyebrow, "Are you sure you're not the one with the severe menstrual cramps?"
"How's Thirteen?" he asked.
Cameron tilted her head to the side, "I don't know."
"And how are you?" House rested his chin on his cane.
"I'm busy," Cameron walked off, "Shouldn't you be working?"
"Do you live together yet?" House asked.
Cameron stopped at the next patient. "No."
"Why not?" House asked sitting next to the patient on the bed.
"Why do you care?" Cameron asked.
House shrugged, "Professional curiosity."
"It's not that," Cameron smirked, "There's nothing professional about it."
House's pager went off. He looked from it to Cameron then sighed, "This isn't over."
Once he was gone, Cameron crossed her arms and thought for a moment. She squinted at the floor before going back to work.
"Okay next time I get to pick what we do," Kutner told Thirteen from the bottom of the rock wall in front of them.
Thirteen smiled, readjusted her harness and started her way up, "Okay."
Kutner followed her, "So when are you two going to move in together?"
"Huh?" Thirteen asked moving a lot quicker than Kutner.
"I picked you up at Cameron's apartment again this morning," Kutner explained, "When are you going to move in with her?"
"I don't know," Thirteen jumped and grabbed a hold. Her feet dangled for a second before she got her footing, "We haven't really talked about it."
"I just don't think it's very smart to pay rent for some place you don't actually live in," Kutner said slowly moving up the wall.
"Yeah…" Thirteen trailed off and started climbing again.
After they went rock climbing, Kutner dropped Thirteen off at Cameron's apartment. She used her key to get in and took a quick shower before settling on the couch with a bowl of cereal and watching TV.
A few minutes later, her phone rang on the couch next to her. She grabbed it and answered, "Hello?
"Dr. Hadley?" a man's voice asked.
"Yes," Thirteen answered.
"This is Dr. Davis," the man introduced himself, "I was wondering if you could come in for a consultation. We need the opinion of an internist."
"Uh, sure. I'll be there in ten minutes."
"Thank you."
She hung up the phone. Then got up and went to change her clothes before heading out the door.
As she walked to her office, Cameron saw Thirteen walking toward the elevator. Cameron smiled and changed her direction. She snuck up behind Thirteen who was patiently waiting for the elevator. She got close to Thirteen and whispered, "Hey gorgeous."
Thirteen grinned and turned to Cameron, "Hey back."
"What are you doing here?" Cameron asked.
"Consulting," Thirteen added, "Then I thought I'd help out in the clinic. I can't lay in bed all day waiting for you."
Cameron smiled, "Guess not." She looked Thirteen up and down then brought her hand up to pull at one of Thirteen's suspenders. "Nice…"
Thirteen smirked. "You've said that before."
"Yeah…" Cameron trailed off as the elevator dinged.
"I gotta go," Thirteen said, "But I'll talk to you later."
Cameron nodded, not able to get any words out.
Thirteen stepped onto the elevator and watched Cameron as the doors closed. She smiled to herself. She knew that look in Cameron's face and when they got home they'd be heading straight for bed…if they got that far.
About an hour later, Cameron stood in the hallway by the office Thirteen was consulting for. She looked at the text message on her phone waiting to be sent.
When Thirteen stepped out the door Cameron pressed send on her phone and walked off with a wicked smile on her face.
Thirteen stepped into the supply closet and saw Cameron leaned on the shelves. "Are you okay? Your text made it sound like an emergenc…" She trailed off when Cameron grabbed her suspenders and pulled her into a heated kiss.
"Allison," Thirteen moaned between kissed, "What's…going on?"
"I want you," Cameron growled in Thirteen's ear.
That was all she needed. Thirteen pushed Cameron up against the wall and gave Cameron what she wanted.
A few minutes later, Thirteen tenderly kissed Cameron's neck as Cameron rested her head on Thirteen's shoulder.
"Wow," Cameron sighed.
Thirteen smiled, "You always say that."
"I always mean it," Cameron kissed Thirteen.
There was noise at the door to the closet and a key was inserted into the lock. Cameron kissed Thirteen again and whispered, "Come over after work and I'll return the favor."
Thirteen smirked before pulling completely away and grabbing a box of latex gloves.
An orderly opened the door and saw Thirteen with the box of gloves. She offered a small smile and walked out. Then he saw Cameron standing in the back of the closet, fixing her hair.
"Um…" Cameron quickly put her hair up, "Do you know where the tongue depressors are?"
He pointed to the shelf right next to her and she followed his finger.
"Oh," she said and picked up a box, "Thanks." With that she walked out.
