.
Two weeks later and Haley was still in the hospital. Her condition had improved a lot but she wasn't ready to be discharged since she was still receiving treatment and needed observation.
Cameron was still avoiding her parents and was only talking to them in order to inform them about Haley's condition.
House was trying to make her talk to them. She knew that if she didn't do it then he would interfere and that couldn't be good.
He knew that her parents were suspecting something about their relationship but they hadn't asked anything to make his assumption a certainty. And the fact that Cameron was only talking to them only when necessary wasn't helping him find out if they knew.
He was in his office, thinking about everything, when his daughter's voice interrupted his train of thought.
"Hello daddy!" she exclaimed, running towards him and throwing herself in his embrace.
"Hello angel! What are you doing here, don't you have school?" he asked, placing a kiss on her cheek.
"Nope! And mommy came and picked me up. She said you don't have a patient and I can stay with you!" she announced with a grin making House smile as well.
Cameron entered the office a few moments later and House looked up at her.
"Hey, Beth here told me that she didn't have school today." He said and she nodded.
"You don't have a problem watching her, right?" she asked.
"I don't have a patient. Plus, now I have an excuse not to go to the clinic!" he exclaimed making Cameron shake her head in amusement and Beth giggle.
She walked inside the office and sat on a chair in front of his desk, giving him a small smile.
"Can I go see Uncle Jimmy?" asked Beth looking expectantly at her parents.
"Sure, you can go." Cameron replied and she immediately disentangled herself form House's embrace and went to the door.
"If he is not there come back to daddy's office, ok?" said Cameron and Beth nodded and then went straight for her Uncle's office.
House stood up and went to sit on the chair next to Cameron's.
"You ok?" he asked, noticing her expression.
He took her hand in his and he ran his thumb over her knuckles.
"Yes, I'm just tired. This situation is really taking a hold on me." She answered, giving him a smile and he nodded.
He dragged her to him, making her sit on his good leg and he rested his head against her chest.
She dropped a kiss on his forehead and laced her arms around his neck holding him close.
"Are you actually going to talk to them? You know that you'll have to do it sometime." He said in a low tone and he heard her sigh.
"I know… I just need some more time to figure out exactly what I'm going to say to them." She replied and she felt him nod.
"Will you let me kick your dad's ass if he crosses the line?" he asked hopefully earning a small laugh from her.
"We'll see." She replied hugging him tighter.
Meanwhile Beth was making her way to Wilson's office. While she was walking she noticed a woman looking at her.
She decided to ignore her and knocked on Wilson's door waiting for him to answer.
"If you are House go away, I'm not buying breakfast right now, come by later. If you are not House come in." sounded Wilson's voice who wasn't waiting a patient at the moment and was just chilling out in his office.
"Uncle Jimmy I am a House too but can I come in?" Beth asked and waited for his reply.
The door opened revealing a smiling Wilson behind.
"Hey princess! I was referring to your dad, you are always welcome." He said with a broad smile and Beth grinned.
"So, can we go for breakfast then?" she asked, looking at him with her best puppy-dog eyes.
Wilson laughed and ruffled her hair slightly.
"You are a House indeed. Thank God your genes are half your mother's." he commented and Beth smiled widely.
"Ok, let's go." He said taking Beth's smaller hand in his and together they made their way to the cafeteria.
Helen Cameron watched their interaction.
This little girl reminded her so much of her daughter when she was little that the only thing she could do was watch her.
She studied her face; her mannerisms, her smile and she couldn't do anything else but notice the similarities that were so intense.
And then she heard the conversation she had with the other doctor and when she heard the name House she was shocked.
She was almost a hundred percent sure that this little girl was her daughter's child. The only thing that didn't remind her of her daughter was the color of the little girl's eyes although she was pretty sure that she had seen those eyes before.
It struck her really hard at that moment how much she had missed from her daughter's life after everything she and Jason had done while she was growing up. Sure, then they didn't understand the majority of their mistakes but now seeing this little girl that reminded her of Allison she didn't know what to feel.
When she spotted the little girl she was making her way to House's office.
She wanted to know who the guy that her daughter was married to was.
She remembered his name from when she had called to ask for Cameron's help and she later heard from one of the nurses that he was working at the hospital as well.
She also wanted to find out who the other doctor she had seen in her granddaughter's room was. He had never really introduced himself properly he had just informed them that he was a doctor.
She had noticed something between them the time they were in Haley's room but she didn't know how to interpret it.
So now she was going to find out who was that House guy and if he had anything to do with the grumpy man with the cane.
In House's office Cameron hadn't moved from her position in House's embrace.
When she sighed for like the tenth time in the sort amount of time that she was there he pulled back in order to look into her eyes.
"Ok, spill, what's going on?" He said, looking intently into her eyes.
She bit her bottom lip and House raised an eyebrow.
"You know I'm not one of the most patient people on earth, so talk." He said looking expectantly at her.
"Funny thing… last time you figured it out on your own." She said with a small smile and he seemed confused at first but then put the pieces together in his mind.
He looked at her with wide eyes and then he broke into a wide smile.
"Are you sure?" he asked, the smile never his lips.
"No… but I'm almost sure that I am pregnant." She admitted, her smile matching his. "I just need to do a blood test to make sure." She said and if it was possible he grinned even wider.
He leaned towards her and captured her lips with his, kissing her softly with all the love and passion her felt for her.
Her arms laced through his hair and she responded to him with the same amount of love and passion.
His right arm wrapped around her waist while his left hand came to rest on her still flat stomach. She smiled into the kiss, sensing his movement and he pulled back, resting his forehead against hers.
"I love you…" he mumbled against her lips making her smile even wider.
"I'm adorable, I know." She replied the way he used to when she told him that she loved him, a smirk finding its way to her lips.
He burst out laughing and claimed her lips again in a tender kiss, both unaware of the person that was standing outside his office watching them.
Her mother was speechless when she saw them like that. The last thing she expected to see was this so she just left and returned to Haley's room, keeping this little piece of information to herself.
After they broke the kiss he pulled back and looked at her.
"Come on, we are going to the lab!" he announced cheerfully and she looked at him questioningly.
"Don't you want to be a hundred percent sure?" he asked with a frown and she grinned at him.
"Fine, let's go." She said, standing up and taking his hand in hers.
They walked together to the lab and after he threatened the two doctors that they were there he started looking for what he needed to draw some blood.
Cameron sat on a stool waiting for him.
He rested his cane against the counter and lifted his sleeves before he started searching in the drawers for a needle. She laughed slightly as he was looking in two drawers at the same time making him turn to look at her.
"Not funny, I really need to find… Uh ha!" he exclaimed, showing her that he had found what he was looking for.
"You should start coming to the labs more. Maybe then you will be able to find what you are looking for straight away." She said with a smirk and he rolled his eyes.
"I have Kutner for these things." He explained with a shrug and walked towards her extending his hand.
"I'm gonna need your arm." He said, adopting a serious tone.
"Yes doctor." She replied saucily and he raised an eyebrow, his fingers coming to wrap around her wrist.
"Don't do that, it's distracting." He commented and rubbed his thumb over her pulse point.
"Now if you want to do it tonight at home, I won't object." He suggested nonchalantly and she chuckled.
"You are insatiable!" she stated with a smile and he shrugged.
"I don't see you complaining about it." He said looking for a vein.
"I don't have a reason to complain." She replied and he smiled.
"Yeah, yeah. Let's get this over with." He said and pushed the needle into her vein as softly as he could in order not to hurt her and drew some blood for the test.
"Who would have thought? The great Gregory House is running a routine test." She teased with a smirk after he prepared everything.
He walked towards her and moved to in front of her, parting her thighs with his leg in order to stand between them.
"Tell anyone and I'll have to punish you." He replied with a smirk of his own and she rested her hands on his chest.
"I won't, I'll just keep the information to blackmail you." She said in a whisper and leaned to him, capturing his lips with hers in a soft kiss.
The beeping form the pc interrupted them and House went to take the printed results.
He studied the paper keeping his facial expression neutral, knowing that it would drive her crazy.
"Come on! I want to see too!" she whined childishly and he laughed slightly.
"What if I don't show you?" he mused, rubbing his chin with his hand skeptically.
"Greg!" she protested, and stood up in order to stand in front of him.
He smiled softly at her a placed a kiss on her forehead.
"It's positive… it says you are four weeks along." He said and she gave him a full blown smile.
She wrapped her arms around his neck and he hugged her to him.
He brought his right hand up and he cupped her cheek, caressing it with his thumb for a few moments before claiming her lips with his own.
"I love you…" she mumbled against his lips, looking straight into his blue eyes.
He smiled tenderly at her and placed one last kiss on her lips.
"Love you too…" he whispered making her smile as well.
"Come on, let's go pick up Beth from Wilson's office." He said and she nodded.
"We won't tell anything to Beth, it's too early to announce it to anyone." She said, looking intently into his eyes and he nodded.
"I agree." He said caressing her cheek and she smiled.
"Ok, let's got then!" she said, grabbing his hand and handing him his cane and they both walked out of the lab and towards Wilson's office.
When they saw that they weren't there they headed to the cafeteria where they saw Beth sitting next to Wilson and feeding him some chips making them both smile.
House pulled out his mobile phone and took a picture of his best friend and daughter knowing that Wilson would love it and then they moved close to the table where they were sitting.
"Mommy, daddy! I'm feeding Uncle Jimmy chips!" Beth announced with a huge smile.
"Isn't it a little early for you to be eating chips young lady?" House asked and they sat opposite them.
"I'm not having chips, I drank chocolate milk and I ate pancakes." She explained in a serious tone, an innocent look in her blue eyes.
"Riiight, so you didn't it any chips?" Cameron asked and Beth smiled innocently.
"She didn't eat too many." Wilson defended his goddaughter.
"Are you two having a secret club or something?" House inquired looking at them suspiciously.
"Yeah, and we are not letting you in." Wilson replied winking at Beth who giggled.
"I'll tell my mommy!" House pouted and crossed his arms in front of his chest.
"Where were you two?" Wilson asked, deciding to change the subject.
"We were busy." Cameron replied but Wilson didn't seem too convinced and eyed his friends suspiciously.
"You are acting weird." He commented and they both raised their eyebrows.
"You are bluffing." House commented, looking straight into Wilson's eyes.
"How do you know?"
"I know your poker face." House explained with a smirk and Wilson huffed.
"I'll find out." He said determinedly and House snorted.
"Riiight." He dragged out and leaned back into his chair.
"Can you teach me poker too?" asked Beth catching their attention.
"I don't think your mom is going to like this." House replied and Beth frowned.
"But you taught me how to play Black Jack." She said with a frown and Cameron looked at him with a raised eyebrow.
"Oops…" he mumbled with a slight smile making Wilson laugh.
"You are in trouble." Said Wilson in a sing-song voice and Beth giggled.
"Oook, I think it's time to head to my office!" he exclaimed and stood up.
"Can I stay with Uncle Jimmy a little longer?" Beth asked, looking at her parents.
"If he doesn't have work to do." Replied Cameron and Beth looked at him this time.
"I have nothing to do so you can stay." He said with a smile making Beth smile as well.
"I have to go to my office as well." Said Cameron and stood up too.
"Be nice and don't get Uncle Jimmy into trouble, ok?" Cameron said and Beth nodded.
"I promise, I'll be a good kid!" she exclaimed with a smile.
"Ok then, I'll see you later." She said and kissed her daughter's forehead.
House kissed Beth's cheek and took Cameron's hand in his, both walking together towards the elevator.
"So, it's just you and me again." Wilson said, looking at Beth who nodded.
"Can we go see Aunt Lisa now?" Beth asked expectantly and Wilson smiled.
"Since when are you calling her Aunt Lisa?" he asked curiously.
"Since I asked her if I could and she said yes!" Beth replied with a smirk that reminded him so much of his best friend.
"Ok, let's go!" he said and picked her up, making her laugh and together they made their way to Cuddy's office.
