Disclaimer: Still no House and darn its not my Birthday till August
This chapter involves a surprise from House and the reactions of two people who discover Cameron and House's secret
Constructive criticism is welcome. Enjoy
Cameron's POV
She and Greg had spent the weekend mostly at his place, just relaxing and both mentally preparing themselves for the next week. Rumours still going strong meant it was going to be tiring. She was a little worried and kind of confused though as Greg would disappear for a few hours or just go outside to talk on the phone but she dismissed it. He would tell her soon and she knew he'd never have an affair.
Apart from the that the weekend seemed kind of boring. But it got to Sunday afternoon though and there was a surprise. Greg was sitting watching TV with her and stroking her hair when he suddenly spoke, "Lets go for a drive Ally, I wanna show you something." They went downstairs and into the car and Greg produced a blindfold, which he placed over her eyes, a smile on the corners of his mouth. "So the surprise isn't spoiled", is what he'd said.
They'd not driven for long when he stopped and helped her out of the car. He led her for a minute or so before removing her blindfold with a flourish. In front of her stood a gorgeous house, two stories, red brick and with a garden at the back. She looked pointedly at Greg, "why are we here?" At those words the grin on his face widened and he spoke happily, "it's ours." Shock and happiness were both displayed on her face and she hugged him tightly before kissing him feverently. "When, how, why?" She was babbling, she always did when she was shocked. So this was what he'd been sneaking off to do the past few days and been on the phone about ... He grasped her hand and led her into the house.
House's POV
He was taking her on a tour of the new house. She seems so happy, gushing about every room. He's really glad he managed to find this house, he'd picked one with four bedrooms and when she'd questioned him about it he actually blushed when he spoke, "well, you know, if we have a family then we're obviously gonna need room because I am not sharing a room with a pooping, stinky little thing that drools and cries." She seemed both touched and amused at the same time. "You really mean it?," he nodded and knew it was the right decision when he saw the amazing smile she dazzled him with. They were both happy and excited.
House had been thinking about how they would move when Ally voiced his concerns, "Greg, how are we going to move and when will we have the time. It would be nice to get it out of the way before we go to see my family at the weekend." He grinned as an evil plan formed in his mind. "I think it's time to let Cuddy and Wilson know our little secret. Then we can book the day off and get Cuddy to tell the others that me, you and Jimmy have gone to a conference for the day. I'm a cripple and I am not shifting boxes." The worry left her face, "good idea Greg, when should we tell them?" His grin grew more evil, "don't think I'm just going to tell them nicely. They're both gonna get a fun surprise tomorrow." He saw her pale and laughed, "don't worry, they'll know it was all my idea and we're not gonna get fired Ally." The colour gradually returned to her cheeks and she pecked him on the lips. "Come on then, get me home. I have to pack and it's gonna take me ages, you could have given me some advance warning." Ahh, typical women, always in a fuss ...
Wilson's POV
It was Monday morning and quite quiet. He had no patient for a few hours and so he was planning on going down to Cuddy's office to see if she wanted to get a quick coffee with him and merely the thought of it was making him nervous. But suddenly he got a very confusing page:
Wilson. Emergency in House's office. Bring Cuddy and get here stat !!
It couldn't be House, it was only 8am, he would never be in that early. Shrugging to himself he went off to find Cuddy. 'Guess coffee can wait,' he thought.
5 minutes later
He and Cuddy arrived at House's office after a few minutes, it was silent and the blinds were drawn. He looked at Cuddy and her face mirrored his confused expression. Was House is one of his moods? He wouldn't be suprised what with Cameron's engagement and all, he knew House felt something for her, but the stubborn ass would never admit it. Cuddy stuck her master key into the lock and they pushed open the door and turned the light on in the darkened office. What they saw made their jaws drop...
House and Cameron were entwined on House's sofa, his t-shirt on the floor and hers discarded on the desk. They were locked in a heated embrace and only broke off when the light turned back on and they heard a shrill cry from Cuddy next to him. He was furious, Cameron was engaged and now making out with House, there had to be something wrong here. "House, Cameron what the fuck are you two doing, Cameron you're engaged, what will your fiance think?" Cameron seemed embarrased and went a dark shade of red. Oh God House is gonna get sued or shot or hit again and he'll probably deserve it. Just Great.
House was grinning at him, God knows why. "Don't worry Jimmy Boy, her fiance is absolutely fine with this." "Don't be stupid House, why would he be fine with you and his fiance getting it on in your darkened office?" He took a deep breath and noticed how still and white Cuddy was, he hoped she hadn't gone into shock.
"Like I said Jimmy, relax, he's not gonna mind and I know that." "How?" Wilson said wearily. And then House said possibly the most surprising thing possible. "Because I'm her fiance."
...............................................................................
Wilson stood there gobsmacked. He couldn't believe it. House and Cameron together and he didn't know. "When, what, how?" he babbled. "Oh shut your trap Jimbo, we are getting married. I suppose that means you'll finally get to be my best man, dust of that tux." This was more than he could take in at the moment. "I'm gonna go with Cuddy now and we are going to have a serious talk later House. You can just carry on with whatever you were doing." House nodded and Wilson went to guide Cuddy out of the room.
As soon as they were out the door the blinds shut again and the door locked and he rolled his eyes as he turned towards Cuddy. Boldly he spoke, "That was the most insane thing I have ever seen," he smiled at her weak grin, "so now I am going to do the most insane thing I've ever done." With that he took a deep breath and kissed Lisa Cuddy ...
Hoped you enjoyed the chapter. It's pretty long for me, over 1,200 words.
The next chapter should be posted in a week maximum. It will deal with the rest of the hospital and their reactions to House and Cameron's engagement.
