Sorry I'm taking longer between chapters now but I have big exams in a month or two and am always really busy.
This chapter reveals the big secret and hopefully it won't disappoint
Constructive criticism welcome. Enjoy
Cameron's POV
They were 10 minutes off from her parent's home. It felt good to be back, though she was a little nervous about how her family would react to House. They'd left the main city and were in a quiet suburban area with few houses. House was still asleep so she hummed along quietly to some songs while she drove until the house came into view. It was an enormous white panelled building, a converted farmhouse with multiple out buildings which made up the indoor pool, games room, guest rooms and stables. There was also a few paddocks where the family rode their horses and exercised the dogs. It was so beautiful, especially now in the summer.
She manoevered the car up the driveway and parked. Then she gently shook House awake, "Greg, we're her. Wake up." He merely mumbled incoherently and she sighed loudly before declaring he would get no sex unless he got up now. Upon hearing such a threat his eyes snapped open immeadiately and she laughed loudly. Looking around she noticed a host of other cars and realised most of the family must be there by now.
Five minutes later House had limped to the door and she was dragging two small suitcases and a handbag to the door. House had pulled the cripple excuse again. She rang the doorbell and they waited.
House's POV
The doorbell chimed and a few seconds later the door was opened by a woman in her mid fifties who looked exactly like an older version of Ally with chesnut brown hair streaked with grey and sparkling blue eyes. She enveloped Cameron in a hug that seemed to last for ages and then stood back and took a good look at him. "I suppose you're Dr House then." House smiled nervously, "yeah, call me Greg." She nodded apporvingly, "well I can see what Ally sees in you. I'm Elizabeth Cameron, Ally's mother. You can call me Lizzie."
She shouted down the hallway, "Aaron, come here and help your sister with the bags." A minute later a group of six people appeared. A tall man a little older than cameron stuck his hand out, he had the brunette hair and blue eyes of Elizabeth Cameron. "Hi, I'm Ally's big brother. The rest are my wife Libby and our four children. Bailey is 14, Dominick and Madeline are 6 and little Noah is 1." He pointed out a slender woman with raven black hair and a toddler in her arms, the twins hiding behind their mother and the teenager he presumed to be Bailey, who gave him a smile and a wave before disappearing off with her younger siblings.
Elizabeth turned to Aaron, "will you take the bags upstairs while I take Greg to meet everyone?" Aaron nodded and hauled the suitcases upstairs with little effort. House and Cameron were led into a large room with a host of people inside. Elizabeth called over a man and a woman, who both shook his hand warmly. The blonde woman smiled and spoke, "I'm Abigail, Ally's big sister and this is my husband John." She gestured towards the red haired man beside her. "There's my son Laurie outside playing with Dom and Maddy and Isabelle gossiping with Bailey as usual." She pointed out her two children, a blond haired boy and firey red head teenager.
The four talked together for a while and it turned out that John was Dean of Medicine at Seattle Grace Hospital so he and House shared stories of their stranger cases. House was just finishing off a story about a guy with over a dozen life threatening symptons, who only had a beetle in his ear, when they were interrupted by a man is his late fifties with light grey hair and Ally's eyes, her father he guessed. John greeted him aimicably, "hey Mike, long time no see, better go rescue Abby from the kids, see you later."
He disappeared outside and left a very nervous House alone with the man. "Michael Cameron, Ally's dad. You must be Greg House." House shook hands and nodded. "Heard so much about you from Ally. Head of Diagnostics must be a fascinating job." House was relieved, medical talk he could do. He was explaining the details of his job to Michael when the doorbell rang and a few seconds later a young woman walked through the door. She was in her early twenties with blonde hair and bright blue eyes. Elizabeth sighed, "finally Alexandra, why is it that you're always so late?" The woman laughed, "sorry mom, they kept me late at the studio." She glided over towards House and Cameron joined them. "House this is Alexandra, also known as Alexa, my younger sister. She's a model/dancer/actress. Went to Julliard and very talented." "Aww Ally, I'm not that talented, just lucky with jobs." Cameron laughed, "she's also very modest. Still, she's playing Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz production in town. We might go see it tonight." House smiled at her, "sure Ally."
Alexa took this opportunity to speak, "so Dr House, any hot guys where you work?" Cameron rolled her eyes and House smirked. "Well, there is the wombat if you like wimpy Australians who care more about their hair than anyone and previously dated your sister before she regained her brain." Alexa giggled, "oh yeah, I met him once when I was in Jersey. Kinda hot but no brains." House laughed with her. He liked this Cameron sister, she shared his views and was lots of fun. "If you're into girls though my fellow Thirteen would totally dig you and it would be so hot to watch." Alexa smirked at him, "thanks but no thanks Greg. If you'll excuse me I'm gonna go say hi to Aaron and Abby." House turned to Cameron, "you family is great Ally, all so nice."
"Thanks Greg, but there's one left to meet. Follow me."
Cameron's POV
It was now or never. He had the right to know her secret and hopefully he wouldn't freak and would accept it.
She led him towards a room down the hall and, after taking a deep breath, opened the door.
House's POV
Ally took him into a room where there was a lone figure sitting. She stood up and came to stand in front of House. He looked her up and down. She was about sixteen, with long auburn hair down her back and green eyes. The spitting image of Ally. Must be another sister, perhaps a niece, he thought. He turned to Ally, who sighed and spoke quietly.
"Greg, meet Caitlyn Katherine Cameron. She's my daughter."
Who can say cliff-hanger lol. I'm very sorry to leave it there but that's how it is.
Hope you all liked Cameron's secret.
A special message to Tabitha of MoonAurora who guessed that either Cameron was pregnant or her family was insane. Good guesses but I could never make her family insane, I just wouldn't know how to write it lol. Still, I'm pretty sure a pregnancy will come later. Hope you found the secret a unique one. Thanks for the lovely comments.
I will be introducing a new minor character to the story soon, a new friend for Caitlyn. Any suggestions for a mini storyline they could have or any names for this new friend are welcome. The friend will be a girl.
