Chapter 5: Be Brave
Cameron continued to stare at House but could not respond back to his statement. The other people in the group continued to stare at the couple unsure of what to do or say. Rachel moved closer to her sister and took her hand. House's persistent stare immobilized her and it was only when Rachel took her hand that she moved. She squeezed Rachel's hand hard and it was only when Rachel winced that she eased the pressure.
"Sorry." Cameron whispered. She felt small and insecure and she literally wanted to run away from it all. Rachel leaned into Cameron's ear.
"Calm down, Ally. It's okay. Just breathe," whispered Rachel, "In and out. Good girl." Wilson and Jen looked at Cameron with great concern. Rachel looked at Jen as Rachel led her sister to the chairs.
The room had several long tables that aligned horizontally. There were three different rows that were arranged the same way as the first table. There were multiple chairs that were placed with the table on the left and right side.
Jen went to hug her cousin and proceeded to sit on the other side of Cameron. Wilson looked at House and proceeded to give him a hug. He too went to sit down on the other side of the table the women had picked out. House sat right next to him directly in front of Cameron. He looked directly at her but Cameron had her face down, intent on not looking at the man she desperately loved. It was Jen who interrupted the tension.
"Greg, we came here to tell you that John died and we are all on our way to Virginia. We are going to catch the red-eye flight after we leave here. We wanted to come and talk to you in person as well as check to see how you are."
"What do you mean we? Who is this?" As he pointed to Rachel. "And what is she doing here?" He pointed at Cameron and directed his statement to her. "You have not answered my question."
"You watch how you speak to my sister, House. You have put her through enough and she doesn't need this from another person who claims to love her. Another person who she loves to hurt her once more. I'm sick and tired of all this. I am sick and tired of people assuming they can treat you this way and get away with it! Damn it! It's not right!"
"Rachel, it's okay. He has a right to be angry. I don't belong here." As she stood up, both Jen and Rachel brought her back down.
"Don't listen to him, Ally. His bark is worse than his bite. You know that." Jen replied.
"What do you mean?" asked House.
"Rachel, don't. Please. Not like this." Cameron begged.
"No, Ally. I've had it. I can't take it anymore. First it is our own family who betrayed us by taking Hal's side when he started to abuse you when you were as young as seven years old. We don't even know how old you truly were because half the time you were drugged up. Then this continued until you were seventeen when I caught him once again raping you. Our family picks that pig over you and calls you a slut?! I'm supposed to be a good little daughter and abandon my baby sister who was the victim? I raised you Ally. I have raised you since as long as I can remember because let's face it; our parents were never parental figures. I shouldn't have been surprised. When I pulled the asshole from you, you tried to act like it was your fault when it wasn't. It never was, sweetie. You grew up too quickly and you lost your innocence because our parents did not protect you. It's not right at all. I'm tired of it. Then you fall in love with this dumbass," As she points at House, "And the first chance he gets he breaks your heart and basically pushes you to Robert even though you could not love or see him in your future. I am supposed to sit back while all of this is happening? I don't think so. Ally, you don't sleep and you barely eat. I am done. I am done. And you!" As she points to House once more, "Better get your shit together or I will rain on you so bad that even the CIA won't find your body. Capiche?"
The room drew quiet as even the staff heard the outburst. Cameron looked at Jen and Wilson, then House, and then to her sister. She looked back to House and saw a mixture of emotions. She first saw shock then confusion then frustration and then pure anger. The blue tint of his eyes shined as she looked at them.
"Rachel, how could you? It wasn't yours to tell." She bolted from her chair and ran out of the room. She went out the door and into what looked like a darkened stairwell.
"Rachel…what?" Jen and Wilson tried to ask at the same time
"She doesn't remember the time it first happened but I have a feeling it is younger than seven. Our uncle, Hal, he used to drug her food and then give it to her. She would wake up dazed as she laid down naked as a jailbird as he was fingering her and touching himself. She told me at first he wasn't naked. Just his pants were undone but slowly it started to get worse. She never told a soul. She thought it would end and no one would have to know. You know how Ally is. The pure heart that she has believes the best in people and to be treated this way by her own kin is despicable. I'm disgusted." She looked at Jen and Wilson "Earlier on, when we were in her bedroom, that was our mother. She had the nerve to ask for money then proceeded to blame Ally for all the things wrong with our family. I couldn't believe it. Of all the people, our own mother. I…" She started to cry then as she heard nothing from her party. She didn't even hear a pin drop. Jen put her arms around her friend.
"I'm so sorry. Jesus. I didn't know it was this bad. No wonder she was like this. No wonder."
"I knew she wanted acceptance and I knew she wanted to be loved. I had a feeling there was something wrong when she desperately wanted to be liked. She was such a sweet person that it didn't take her long for people to like her. Getting to know her is a different story. She keeps it bottled up."
"She was afraid that people would accept her. You know she didn't even tell Robert. She didn't even want to. She wanted to tell you House but you were so mean. I couldn't take it. I'm sorry. I just snapped." She looked to where her sister went and looked down.
"I get it. You and she are so much alike. You two learned to depend on one another and to keep it bottled up because of how your family is but you can't do that anymore. You have to let us in."
"What about him?" She pointed to House. She saw him get up and she grabbed his arm. "Please don't hurt her. I know you love her and I know you are upset she got married but she loves you. There's nothing that my sister wouldn't do for you. You know the first thought that came up when she realized her mistake after she called Jen for the annulment was you. What would you think? She knew you would be angry but not…with all the things that have been happening it just snow balled. I am really sorry." She looked up at him and he nodded.
"Greg, it's true. She was a total mess. She barely ate and she doesn't sleep. I knew she had nightmares but I never knew why or how bad. I just loved her as a sister and I hoped she would tell me one day but not like this. I expedited the papers, Greg. If you want to be with her, you need to stop being a coward and just go with it. Love like yours doesn't come easily. It comes once in a lifetime. Don't have any more regrets by pushing her away. Be brave, my cousin. I know you have been hurt and so has she but maybe you two can lean onto each other. Go after her." She looked at her cousin and as House met her eyes, he nodded his thanks and ran after Cameron.
House found her leaning against the dark corner of the stairway, her small figure hidden from the world. She desperately wanted to currently hide. When he opened the door to the stairwell it was the only reason why he was able to see her. The area was so dark that he could barely see or make out where to go. He used the handles to make his way.
"You know they really should light this area but I think they do this because by then people are asleep. It saved electricity but then again the elevator operates on electricity so I have no clue..."
"Please go away, House. I don't need to hear your sarcasm right now. I know you're mad at me."
"I was but then I realized I shouldn't be."
"Was it pity from what my sister said because I don't need it if that is how you feel."
"No. I realized that I deserved it. I hurt you enough so I knew I had to let you go. I was just surprise is all."
"I never meant to let it go this far. I just got confused and I wanted to feel like someone cared for me...someone other than Rachel. Someone who saw me but, he never did. Only you did. Do you know how hard it is to try to move on when your whole heart, body and soul wanted someone else? It was like it was screaming for it to stop. It was pure agony."
"I get it. I do. I tried to dull the pain but it only got worse. I'm sorry." He limped closer to her.
"I'm sorry too. Where do we go from here?"
"What do you want, Ally?"
"You. It has always been you. I just..." She wrapped her arms around herself and wept.
"Oh Ally. Come here. Are you sure, Baby? I won't ever let you go if we start."
"You're it for me, House…" He interrupted her.
"Greg. If we are going to do this then we are going to start calling each other by first names." He brushed the strands from her faces as he began to caress it lovingly. "You are so damn beautiful. I love you so very much."
"I love you too. I've always loved you. I think I was always meant to be with you."
"Hm…like the fates kept trying to put us together?"
"Yes. I don't want to be this anymore." She gestured her hands.
"What, Baby? What do you mean?" As he held her tighter and began to play with the strands of her hair.
"I don't want to be miserable anymore. Rachel wants me to see Dr. Landon. She thinks Landon could help and give me sleeping pills."
"Is it all true?"
"I wouldn't lie about this, House." She tried to pull away but he held her tighter.
"I'm not calling you a liar, Baby. I'm just processing. SHHH. Don't cry. I'm here." He began to pepper her with sweet kisses starting at the crown of her head then followed by her forehead, her nose and then her neck. He continued his administrations kissing all the way to the collarbone and then lower. "I won't let them hurt you anymore. I promise. You're mine and I'm yours." He growled into her ear as he sucked and nipped her neck. He left marks as if allowing people to know who possessed her. She didn't mind one bit as she leaned lower to give him better access to her neck. He tipped her chin and kissed it and then nipped her bottom and then her upper lip. As their lips danced she moved her hands from his waist and up to his hair. She gripped it hard as she moaned. The more they kissed the tighter she held onto it. His tongue slid inside her mouth and as their mouths touched they both felt the electricity they knew was coming. He pulled away and she pouted. He smirked at her.
"Are you sure you want this, Baby? Last call." She nodded. He moved closer to her and put one of her legs around his hips. He pulled her cardigan off of her as her shoes came off. He pulled the tank top up to reveal a white lacy underwire balconette with a pink bow and pink linings. He pulled the top completely off to see the whole bra then asked. "Did you wear this for me, Baby?" She nodded again. "Is it a set?" She nodded once more. "Can I see?" She pulled him closer as a sign of acceptance and yanked at his shirt buttons. She yanked them open one by one in a hurry and slid it off his body. Then pulled his band t-shirt off him and leaned over to kiss then lick his chest. He moaned as he felt her pull his jean button and pull his pants down. She palmed his penis through his boxer briefs as he moaned. He began to pull her jeans buttons free and pulled the jeans off her body. She stepped out of them and he too copied her actions. He suddenly felt shy with his leg but she only knelt down to kiss his erect penis and then his damaged leg and then stood back up.
"Do you like it? I wanted to feel sexy for you. I didn't know what to expect but I just wanted to feel like I was sexy and beautiful."
"I do like it. Do you have more of these?" She nodded as he had her turn around to see the matching g-string. "Good. I like this one a lot, Baby. Can you wear more of these?" She only moaned more as he touched her. "You look amazing." As he touched the line the met below her belly button. He felt how wet she was and he realized she was drenched. "Do I make you this wet, Baby?" She nodded. "Did the wombat ever make you feel this way?"
"Never. Only you. I'm yours. I've always been yours, Greg." She moaned as he touched her and moaned when he pulled his wet finger out to lick the juices.
"Wanna taste?" She didn't have to answer as he kissed her then and there. He pulled her breasts free from their confines as he started to suck and bite them. Her beautiful supple breasts were erect for him. He sucked one and then moved to the next. He stopped and she groaned. "Easy, Baby. Don't beg. I'm not done with you yet. You never have to beg with me. Understand?" She nodded and he kissed her and somehow both were free of their last clothing. They continued to kiss and he pulled her leg around his waist once more and without warning entered her. They both moaned feeling how intense the connection was. The kiss was amazing but the moment he entered it was like two souls connected. It was like home. They moved simultaneously somehow knowing what they needed. He backed her up to the wall and moved her other leg up to his waist. She raised both higher and for a better feel of the position he chose. He swirled his hips as if he knew she was close. He was too and waited for her. With a few more thrusts, both came down from their high.
"What was that?"
"I am not done with you yet." He turned her around and entered her once more. Their groans growing louder and louder but they dared not scream. He felt in front of her to add more stimulation. "You are mine. Say it. Mine."
"Yours. Always yours." As they continued on for a few more moments until they finally reached their peak together. He turned her around and leaned his forehead against hers.
"You okay, Baby?" She nodded. "That was intense. My leg will feel it later but it was worth it."
"I love you so much, Greg. Never doubt that. I will never leave you. Ever! If one of us wants out, it will have to be you who will leave. I don't think my heart could take it."
"You won't have to. I'll never leave you."
"Everybody lies."
"Yes, but we already know what happens when both of us are separated."
"Okay, so where does that leave us? Lovers? Friends with benefits? Boyfriend/girlfriend?"
"I don't like labels but I like the first one. I refuse to let anyone touch you ever again. You are mine!" He growled possessively
"Does that mean you are mine? I don't like sharing with your hookers, Greg."
"Actually, I haven't had them service me in a while…how about you and the wombat?"
"We are finished. I never should have gotten involved with him. I'm sorry. I broke both our hearts."
"I did too. But we're together now."
"Okay. Are you really okay? I was worried when I found out you were in here. I called your cell and Jimmy answered and I started freaking out. Thank goodness Rachel went to school with the director or we wouldn't have been able to come here." She rested her head against his bare chest.
"It's okay. I'm okay."
"Promise? Jimmy was telling us about this trial in Switzerland with CIPA and maybe…"
"He did? What do you want, Baby?"
"I want a future with you. That is all I want. I don't want to find you dead from an overdose but I also don't like you suffering from your leg." She looked up at him with her eyes beaming with tears.
"Okay, okay. I'll go with this drug treatment. I think Nolan said three months but let's see when the trial is okay?" She nodded her head enthusiastically and smiled at him for the first time in a long time. "Why don't we get dressed and you come with me to get something okay?" She nodded once more as they started to get dressed. He picked up the underwear and smelled it. "Baby, I love this color on you but I love red on you more."
"I do have this one set…" His eyes darkened. He pulled her forward. "Next time, definitely next time." He pulled her into a deep kiss and pulled away to dress. They watched each other dress and when they finished he walked up to her. He leaned in and gave her a deep kiss and reached over to squeeze her derriere. His hand slipped inside her jeans.
"I think you're wet again, Baby."
"I'm always wet for you. Don't look so smug." As she pointed at his tent and smiled at him seductively.
"We don't have time for another round, Baby. You are insatiable. Come on. Let's go this way. It leads faster to my room."
"I am only this way when it comes to you." He grinned as he grabbed her hand and pulled her close. He limped slowly to his destination. "Oh no. I'm sorry." She looked down.
"I'm not." He grinned as he turned to look at her and tipped her head up. "Never feel sorry for how we feel okay?" She nodded as he tugged her close to him and hugged her. He kissed the top of her head and began to walk once more.
He opened his room and walked over to his drawers and looked at Cameron sheepishly. "I bought this for you a while ago. I don't know why I bought it but I knew I had to get it." He picked up a black draw string bag and pulled out a small ring. It was white gold with small diamonds under and above the words 'I Love You'. It was a promise ring.
"It's beautiful."
"I am not the type to do this but with you I want to try. This is a promise ring and when the time comes we'll have it all. If that is what you want?"
"What do you mean?"
"The small picket fence house, kids, and marriage? I mean if you don't…" He looked down. She moved close to him and kissed him.
"You know I do," and held out her hand, "I love you and thank you. It's beautiful." He placed the promise ring on her left ring finger. She smiled brightly at him before holding out her hand. She had taken her rings from Chase soon after their separation and had given them back to him. They were heirlooms after all and wondered if one day Jen would wear them. "You look deep in thought. You don't like it?"
"No. I love it more than I had with Chase actually. I was just thinking that when the time comes your cousin would wear the ones I wore. They were heirlooms. I don't know why I thought about it actually. I just thought that I love this one more because you gave it to me. You're my soul mate and it means more to me." He smiled at her and he kissed her once more. He had her pressed against his dresser when the orderly, Jefferson Madden, came in.
"Who is this, House?"
"This is my Ally. Ally, this is Jeff." She nodded her hello and leaned closer to House while burying her head against his chest. He kissed her head and rubbed her back. "Is there something you needed, Jeff?"
"Oh no. Just doing rounds. She's very beautiful, House. Don't lose her or I'll have to snag her up."
"Like I will let you," Both Cameron and House replied at the same time.
"Feisty. I like her." He turned to her and said. "It was nice to meet you." Then said to House, "Why don't you go back to the activity room as I remember seeing the director and some more of your guests there." He left them there and moved down the hallway.
"You okay? I'm sorry about him. He tends to be obnoxious but he is decent."
"I'm fine, sweetheart."
"Sweetheart? Do I look like a sweetheart, Baby?"
"You don't like it?" He shook his head no. "How about my love?" Once more he shook his head. "Darling?"
"How about a hell no?"
"I'll just have to think of something…"She grinned up at him evilly.
"You're going to be trouble aren't you?"
"You know it and I'm your trouble."
"Don't you forget, Baby." He pulled her in for another deep, mouth-watering kiss and walked slowly to the activity room with Cameroon tucked behind him. They never separated as she brought her hand up to wrap her other hand that was being held by House.
They reached their party as they were looking at them strangely. House nudged Wilson to move to the other side and sat down. He pulled his beloved to sit on his good leg as she leaned closer to him. He held her as tight as he could; unwilling to let her go. She placed her hands on top of his. The trio looked at them as they noticed the couple looking at one another. Jen took a picture of it and showed Wilson and Rachel. Both mouthed that they wanted copies.
"So how are things?"
"Don't give me that. You two were gone for over an hour and you two have sex hair, Greg."
Neither Cameron nor House answered her but the message was clear as Cameron turned her body to put her head to his head to cover her embarrassment. They looked shocked when he merely whispered his love for her in her ear and kissed her head.
"Ally?" asked her sister. "You okay? What is that on your left hand? Is that an engagement ring? You got engaged while you were gone for almost two hours?" She turned to House "Damn! You work fast."
"No. I think it is a little too fast for engagement right now, don't you? Greg gave me a promise ring."
"Greg?!" All three individuals looked at the couple but their words were a lost cause as they did not even realize people were talking to them.
"Hello? Earth to Ally. Can I see the ring?" Cameron looked at her angrily. "Ally, I'm not going to take the ring from you. I just want to see it from your hand." Cameron reluctantly held out her hand. "It's beautiful, Ally. I'm happy for you. You look better and seem happier."
"I feel better and I'm happy." Her stomach chose the right moment to growl. "Sorry."
"Hungry, Baby?" He looked sheepishly as he realized it was almost seven o' clock at night. "I don't think the kitchen is open." He said guiltily.
"Here House. It's her sandwich and here is your ruben." Wilson handed him both sandwiches as he laid down the Styrofoam food containers with sandwich and fries. It also came with coleslaw. He pulled the pickle and handed it Cameron and she handed her coleslaw over.
Cameron moved to sit next to House but he held her there. She moved only to open her container and eat from where she sat on his left knee.
"So Ally said something about a trial in Switzerland." He took a napkin and cleaned the sauce off her lip and kissed her sweetly. She smiled brightly at him as she picked up her tray of fries and handed it him. He had finished his quickly and she offered her love her share. Her reward was another kiss as she continued to munch on her food happily.
Rachel got up from the bench as Wilson looked up to see where she was going. She angled her head so that he would see that she would be in the director's office. She picked up their trash and threw it out on the way to the office.
"So Jimmy obviously I am missing something." He looked down at Cameron to see that she was still eating her food and squeezed her hip as she turned to smile at him. He turned his head to talk to his best friend. "So spill. Obviously, Ally's sister is vying to be Mrs. Wilson number four."
"Dr. Wilson, Greg Baby." He rolled his eyes at her nickname but realized he did not mind that she too called him Baby. He nodded to her that he did not mind her nickname and she leaned up to give him a big smooch in the mouth. She wiped the excess sauce that got to his lip and turned her head back to her sandwich.
"What was that, Baby?"
"She's a psychiatrist too, Baby. She and the director went to school together. I told you this remember?" He nodded his head remembering that there were certain things he might have forgotten due to a moment of ecstasy. He looked toward the office door as he saw that Rachel closed the door for privacy. He looked at Wilson and back to the door.
"No worries, Jimmy. I do not think she is as into him as he is to her. So back to the trial. When is this supposed to be?" He didn't get to answer as Rachel came out with the director. They walked towards the table and when they approached the director stopped.
"Ally, you remember Michael don't you?" She nodded. She got up quickly before House could protest and quickly gave him a hug as thanks. She whispered in his ear and he nodded his head as acquiesce despite his reluctance. She smiled and sat back down on House's leg. She turned to her head to give him a kiss on the cheek. He squeezed her hip once more and to this, she turned. She caressed his hair and slowly down his cheek where she cupped it. They stared at each other for a moment.
"How long have they been like this?" asked Dr. Patrickson
"Oh I would say thirty minutes. They are really so cute. They really love each other. They are in their own little world." Jen snapped another picture.
"Don't think I don't know what you are doing, Cousin."
"What?"
"I want copies of those."
"Well, speaking of that. Ally, I will allow your request but after that I can't okay? Technically, there are no contact until the treatment is over so…"
"I get it. Thanks Michael. This meant the world to us." House looked at Cameron but her eyes told him that he will get his answer later. She kissed him on the cheek. "Mike, there is this trial for CIPA and a couple of years back we had this patient with CIPA. The biopsy would need to grow and then plant the nerve into let's say a leg allowing the person to walk free. Basically, the trial would allow a spinal nerve biopsy and Jimmy knew the person conducting the trial and we wanted to see if Greg would be viable for the trial." Cameron said this full of hope and love as she looked at House.
"Well, the expedited therapy would be thirty days but if he goes to the trial then maybe he can go to the trial and maybe have the surgery and come back after if that is what you want, Greg."
"Yes." As he looked at Cameron. The other people at the table knew then who he was doing this trial for and did not comment. "If Ally goes with Landon then I'll go with the trial and stay here until you all say I am good to go. I think an outpatient therapy after would be good as well when I leave this place." As he turned back to Patrickson. Patrickson nodded his head and went to make calls.
"Ally, I forgot. We need to figure out where you are staying because once we get back you have to move out right?" asked Cameron's sister. Ally looked down and House lifted her head.
"What's wrong, Baby?"
"The lease is in Chase's name and since we are no longer together I have no place to go. It's no big deal. I'll find a place. You have enough to worry about."
"What did I tell you?" He caressed her cheek lovingly. "I'll take care of you. You have to talk to me and vice versa…hm?" She nodded. He turned to his friend. "Jimmy, make a copy of the key of the apartment and have someone move her stuff. Preferably ASAP. I don't like her staying where the Wombat has been unless necessary." He turned to her. "This okay with you? You can move out when you find a place but…"
"It's a little fast but when did we ever set our own time schedule? Yes. I'll move in with you. Why would I move out when I have you were I want you?" She smiled at him and then proceeded to put her head against his neck.
"Speaking of which, Cameron I forgot to tell you." Cameron turned to Wilson. "I spoke to Cuddy and she thinks it would be good if you had a change of atmosphere. One of the attendings is leaving the hospital and she thinks you would be good there." Cameron thought for a moment then looked at House.
"Up to you, Baby. I'll support you no matter what." She nodded her head at him.
"Alright, I'll do it."
"Good. You'll do great. Let me go tell her and ask the super to make another copy of the key and get movers to move your stuff, Cameron. Be right back." He moved to the far side of the room and made calls.
"You'll do great, Ally." Jen replied and the rest nodded. She looked at the time and her face looked sad as she realized they needed to leave for the airport. "Ally, we have to leave in a few minutes for our flight." The group looked apprehensive but turned to see Wilson come back.
"We need to leave but I talked to Cuddy and your super, House." He addressed his friends. "Listen, Cuddy will move all your stuff Ally as your stuff was already in boxes anyway. The super will let her in with the movers and she and Lucas will put them in and help with the move. Do you want the rest of the stuff in storage?"
"Yes. Tell Cuddy to make it feel like it is not so manly but not to touch my instruments." Wilson began texting Cuddy and a few minutes later got a positive reply.
"You're all set."
"Thanks, Jimmy." Both Cameron and House said at the same time. The group looked at one another.
"Oh look. They even speak at the same time. How cute!" Jen snapped another picture.
"Seriously Jen. I want those pictures." Jen nodded. She got up and went to hug her cousin.
"You take care of yourself and I'll see you soon. Okay?" Jen left and Patrickson walked her out.
"I just want you both to be happy and you two deserve it. Keep it that way, House okay?" Rachel went to hug him and followed Jen.
"Hey, House. Don't worry. I'll watch her until you're back. Rachel said that Patrickson will keep her updated on how you are doing so just take care of yourself. I am not sure if you need me for Switzerland but if you do, I'm a phone call away. Okay?"
"Thanks Wilson." Wilson hugged House and then walked out.
"So, it is just the two of us." She turned to House and wrapped her arms around him and spoke to his chest. "I love you, you know that right? I will wait for you until you get out. I'll always wait for you. We promised each other the future right?" She looked up at him with worry in her eyes.
"Baby, stop worrying. Everything will be fine." He stroked her face and she leaned into his hand. "We'll be okay. We just have to believe in us and in our love. Alright?" She nodded. "I know you won't give me up and I will never let you go again so we just have to have hope." Tipping her head up, he leaned his head down to kiss her. He waited for a moment before his tongue went in and they continued their heated kiss. They broke apart and House saw she had tears in her eyes. He brushed them away as he saw Jeff come out to tell him it was time. "I'll see you soon okay?" She nodded "I love you." She watched him move to his room and he turned around and winked at her and turned back to his room.
She went down the elevator and towards the entrance. She saw her sister, Jen, Wilson and Michael there waiting for her. Her sister walked towards her and gave her a hug.
"Ally, like I said I'll allow the photos in but that's it until he gets out. Wilson said he'll pick him up when he leaves here and I will call Rachel for updates but I can't tell more than necessary about his treatment because of confidentiality. He'll choose to tell you if he wants and that will be up to him. Now, about the trial, I spoke to the Switzerland Institute. It is unprecedented but they agreed to check him out. I'll fly with him there and wait for him there. If there is surgery then they might take a week or two to recover and then transport him back here. I'll monitor him here but have a colleague check him out as well. Don't worry, Ally." He went to hug her there as she mumbled her thanks. He left to go back to the building. When they could no longer see him, Cameron stood in front of the building before being led away by Rachel.
"Come on, Ally. Time will go fast before you know it." Cameron did not really believe her sister but followed suit. She and Rachel went back in the car as Wilson got in the driver's seat and Jen in the passenger.
"So what is this present?" They turned to see her looking in the window and barely paying attention to what they were saying. Before they knew it, they were at the airport getting their luggage out of the car. They retrieved a cart and placed all their bags on them and proceeded to check in.
Soon, they were boarding the plane and Cameron sat next to Jen as Rachel and Wilson sat in front of them. Soon Cameron drifted off but not in a dreamless state.
"Come here, Girl." As Hal, tried to make Allison perform a blowjob on him, she shook her nine year old self and he slapped her. Allison brought her mouth against his balls and licked and then she looked up. Her uncle moaned and nodded his head. She started to put his penis in her mouth feeling nauseated as she did so. Slowly, she did what was asked until he found her release. Then he pulled his pants all the way down and yanked at Allison. He ripped her clothing and rammed into her. It was the first time he did that and he saw blood coming out on the sheets. He continued on and on as the girl continued to scream. He placed his hand over her mouth as she continued to scream into his hand as he found his release. He pulled up his pants. "I think we know we shall not repeat this again." He walked out of her room and the girl cried. She brought the blanket up to her chin and continued to cry.
Cameron continued to scream and cry. Jen shook her out of her night terror as she saw her friend scream loudly. The flight attendant looked on with worry. Jen moved out of the way as Rachel went to the vacated seat and shook her sister.
"Ally, wake up. It's okay. Hal is not here anymore. It's okay, baby girl. I won't let him hurt you again, sissy." Her sister's eyes slowly opened as she found herself crying over her sister's shoulder.
The flight landed and the quartet allowed the other passengers to move out of the way and out of the airplane. When they were the last ones there, Wilson and Jen moved out of their seats and slowly moved out of their aisles. They turned to Rachel and Cameron with worry, wondering what they could do to help their friends. Rachel removed Cameron's seatbelt and pulled her out of her seat. She navigated her through the aisle carefully as they nodded their thanks to the sympathetic staff. They went to pick up their luggage and found out that Joyce was already waiting in the 'Arriving' area of the baggage area. She hugged them individually and they introduced Rachel to Joyce. They piled up in the silver Honda SUV and soon they were on their way back to the house. They saw the time was midnight and knew that everyone would likely be asleep.
They arrived at the Marriot hotel and thanked Joyce. She said she would pick them up in the morning at nine sharp for the service. They checked in to their rooms. Rachel and Cameron would be sharing a room and Jen would be alone as well as Wilson. Jen and Wilson left the sisters to their room and went to separate rooms. Cameron changed into her yellow and pink lace cotton camisole and short set as she quietly did her nightly routine. Rachel looked to her sister as she too changed into a similar outfit. She sat down next to her sister on her bed.
"Are you okay? How bad was it?"
"Bad. It was like I was reliving it all over again. I felt like I was nine again and I had no control."
"Okay, you really need to call Dr. Landon soon. This can't go on, Ally."
"I know. I promised Greg I would. I'll call her tomorrow and leave her a message."
"Okay. Now what is this present I heard from Michael?" Cameron told Ally about her idea and Rachel grinned smugly. "I would pay money to see his face when he opens those with you dressed up like that." Cameron blushed.
"I hope Jen knows a place. I prefer a woman because knowing Greg he would not approve of me being seen by another man other than him."
"So I am guessing you did the deed eh?" Cameron nodded.
"Say no more. I'm happy for you, Ally but I'm worried about you too. This is going too fast and I think all of the past is catching up to you."
"I know, Rach. I am too and I know Greg is too. I'll promise to call her tomorrow. I just want to rest, Rach." Her sister nodded as both went under the covers. Soon after, they were both fast asleep.
The next morning proved to be very trying. Cameron woke up early and as promised called the psychiatrist. They were playing phone tag but she asked once more if Landon would call Cameron back. She went into the bathroom and brushed her teeth. She knew it was too late for the complimentary breakfast because it was already seven in the morning and they needed to be ready by thirty minutes after eight. She hoped she would be able to eat before the service. She got in the shower and soon after pulled on a black floral lace demi bra and the matching thong to go along with it. She gave herself a turn around and wondered what House would think with this set and hoped when she wore it again he would love it. It did make her look sexy and from his reaction last night, she knew that it would probably be similar to the one he had last night. He was just like she imagined he would be and they were so attuned to one another. She grew wet just thinking about him. She cleaned herself before donning her kimono robe. She saw her sister awake and allowed her sister to shower. She dressed in her black cuff sleeve simple dress that came up to above her knees. It had a small thin black belt with a silver buckle. She applied a small amount of makeup and put on her black 4 inch almond toe platform heels. She went to retrieve her black clutch and waited for her sister to finish. She heard a knock on the door and opened it to reveal Jen. She allowed her in and went back to sit on her bed as she watched Rachel get ready. It took another thirty minutes before her sister was ready with her own black sleeveless v-dress with pleats and flair pump. Jen had on a three-fourth sleeve lace dress with black strappy heels.
Wilson came in soon after dressed in his black and blue suit. He wore the same shoes he had on last night. Jen got up to answer the phone to find that Joyce was downstairs. They went downstairs and got in Joyce's car. They did not say anything as they drove to the funeral home. They filed out of the car as Joyce parked the car. They went inside the building. As they went to where the small service was held, they could see red draperies and a small podium and saw John's open casket on the left. There were many different types of flower arrangements as well as his portrait on the left. They saw a small fabric type sign with his name and rank and service in the front of his casket. There were also medals lined up in front of the casket. A large American flag was draped on top of his casket as John was dressed up in his uniform and medals. They followed Joyce as they went to sit next to Blythe who hugged all of them. Cameron introduced her sister to Blythe and told her she appreciated her coming to give his respect to her husband. They waited for more people to arrive and finally it started. They started the service including a minister speaking about death and each of his loved ones gave memorable speeches about their dearly departed friend. Cameron found herself crying not for John but for Blythe who despite all of it loved her husband very much. She mused all of this as the service continued on. It was not until Rachel tapped her that she realized it was over. She nodded her head and got up to walk back into the car for the cemetery.
When they got to the cemetery, they walked to his burial area. There were seats lined up in multiple rows as several military individuals got ready for the twenty-one gun salute. When the time came, Cameron heard a sob and realized that it was Blythe and several other women who joined her crying over John. They folded the flag and gave it to Blythe who hugged the flag to her chest willing herself not to break down. Joyce put an arm around her sister. The song Taps is heard as trumpets blare its sad but melodious song. They lowered John to the hole and several people threw handfuls of soil on top of the coffin and soon after were flowers. As the song ended, individuals filed out to go back to their cars. The row with Blythe remained seated as if unable to accept that this was their reality. A man approached Blythe. He was tall and with similar built like her House. He seemed like he had this James Dean appeal as he was dressed up in a sleek black suit with a white shirt. He kneeled in front of Blythe and whispered in her ear. She passed the flag over to Joyce as she cried over the man's shoulder. He lifted her up and guided her to the cars while whispering to her softly. Jen whispered to Joyce and she nodded. Apparently, they had just met House's real father.
A week after John's funeral found Cameron and her party getting ready to go to Blythe's house. Cameron chose to wear a dark blue European set that was a contour balconette with a design of lacy flowers. She once again wore a matching blue thong as she slipped on a short light cotton blue dress with three different angled white half triangles one on top of another. She wore pink wedges with pink and white jewelry around her left wrist. She wore a little bit of makeup as she allowed her natural curly tresses to flow. They were having a small lunch party. It was more of a barbeque so she sat in Joyce's car as Jen told her mother what had been happening recently. When they arrived, they walked towards Blythe as they began conversing. A few hours later, a woman came up to them. She was older like Blythe but seemed more slender and fitter. It looked like she had the body of a yoga instructor and apparently she was one. She accompanied her daughter, Rose, as she walked towards where Cameron was talking to Blythe.
"So yea. We're talking now."
"I'm glad, Ally. I saw he gave you the ring. He showed it to me when he bought it. He told me he didn't know why he bought it but he did. I told my son that when the time comes he will give it to you and I was right. You'll be my daughter in law soon enough."
"Who is?" asked Rose
"Ally is. She and Greg are together now." Cameron sat with her legs crossed as she sat close to Blythe. "I was just telling her that when the time comes she will be my daughter in law." As Blythe smiled over to Cameron who returned it.
"Really? Why would you want to do that?" Asked Jessica
"Because we love each other and I really don't appreciate your tone. You better watch out."
"Ally…she doesn't mean any harm."
"I'm sorry Blythe but I don't like how she was insinuating that he was better off without me or vice versa. Who is she to say that?"
"She is not saying that are you, Jess?" She gave her sister and niece a stern look as they walked away.
"Don't mind them. It is how they are. Listen, my son loves you and you are good for him. Have you heard much since he was admitted? I know you saw him but anything else?"
"The trial accepted him and when he got there, there was already a nerve growing so they are just scheduling to add that into him next week."
"That's good. But you miss him. I can tell. My son is very hard to love but I can tell you love him very much. I'm right aren't I?"
"Yes. I will never love another man or leave him. We promised each other the future and I intend to stick to it."
"So, I will get my grandkids after all?"
"That's the plan but not right now. He said he wants it all and I won't have it with anyone but him."
"And I don't think he will either with anyone else. He loves you very much. Don't let anyone tell you different about my son. They never understood him the way we do."
"I almost made the wrong move but now with the help of Jen I will have my annulment. I don't know what she placed it under and I don't care as long as I can move on and be happy. She said it can take up to about a month but I leave all the law stuff to her. I have a feeling it will take less time with the way she handles things. Greg and I promised to concentrate on our future. He will do with his treatment and surgery while I do with my therapy. We need this."
"Yes. I know. You two do. You and your sister picked good men. They may have made bad decisions but they are human too. At least now they are learning. Keep that in mind when they make a mistake." Cameron nodded. They turned to see the door open as James Davidson walked into the door with what resembled House's outfit. He too wore a leather jacket and black jeans. He wore a white t-shirt over his jeans as he delved into the kitchen to pick up a beer and went to sit next to Blythe. He kissed her cheek as she hissed at him.
"A little decorum please, James." Cameron looked at the couple and did not know what to make out of her future in laws. She adored Blythe but this man she was unsure of. "James, have you met Ally? She's Greg's Ally."
"Ah. He finally got himself a girl but damn you are hot." Cameron blushed. She did not know what to say but she did not have to as Jen came in to tell her that they needed to get going.
"Blythe, we need to get going. We have some errands to get to for a few hours and we'll be back if you need us."
"No, Sweetheart. Go right ahead." Jen, Cameron and Rachel left and got into Joyce's SUV. Jen had borrowed it after telling her what they needed to do.
They drove a few miles and landed in a boutique. They went in the back entrance and Jen greeted a woman.
"So you're Greg's Ally. I'm Jodee. I've known this bunch since we were kids. So you want to take pictures to send to him at the facility right? You're in luck. I can take the pictures and send them out for you with a message. Why don't you pick some outfits and try them on."
Cameron picked up a mixture of colors but made sure to pick up red as she knew how much he loved red on her. She picked different corsets and baby dolls. She even picked up a red sequin bra without underwire. The top looked like a halter bikini but she loved it. It looked like it came with a garter belt and saw that it had a cute little g-string thong. She grinned, walked with her stack and saw there was a package of knee high stockings.
She posed in front of the camera as Jodee took her pictures. Some she took in front of a small mirror as she angled her body and half turned. Jodee had her move to the chair as she asked her to put her leg there and keep it straight as she bent over so Jodee could see her backside. For the last pic, she put on a sexy lace g-string without a bra. She sat on her knees as she covered her breast. She gave a come hither look as she used her other hand to stick her finger in her lip pretending to bite it. There were more so many pictures to choose from. She picked her favorites and asked Jodee to print and send them to House. She gave him a card and asked her to address the package to Dr. Michael Patrickson. As she was processing the order, Cameron bought all the ones she tried on and added them to her purchase. She composed a small handwritten note with some pics that Jen printed out with the both of them. Jodee read the note and smirked.
"Oh you are good. My my. Greg has his work cut out for him."
"Ally, that was so hot. My cousin is going to drool." Rachel nodded.
"I just wanted something to motivate him."
"Well, you got it. Damn girl!" Cameron turned to Jodee and thanked her. She picked up her purchases and walked happily.
"Oh that girl has it bad."
"You do not know the half of it. He's the same way too. When they are together they forget we are in the room. They are so cute." Replied Jen
"Can we see the note?" asked Rachel
"Sure why not?"
The girls looked at one another and laughed.
"I would pay money to see his face when this comes."
"So would I."
Cameron's note
"Baby,
I hope you enjoy your little present. I wanted something to motivate you to get back to me. I met your family here in Virginia and they are very sweet but I miss you. Hurry back. I hope you like each picture and before you ask, yes, I bought the outfits and I bought more that were not in these pictures. You'll just have to guess which one I am wearing the next time you see me, eh? Hurry back, my love.
Always,
Ally.
The girls laughed as they walked out of the establishment. They saw that Cameron put her four bags in the back of the car. They had gotten her another luggage with her extra shopping. The x-ray was going to have a field-day when they leave next week. They stopped at a Mexican restaurant and continued their girl talk. When they were finished they returned to their shopping. It was a perfect day to spend the day just with the girls.
The Casa de House continued their party despite the three girls leaving. They left Wilson there to mingle and he soon found himself talking to James. He realized how similar the father and son were but found he liked House better than his father. Wilson found James to be immature, selfish, disrespectful, thoughtless and flighty. He wondered what Blythe saw in him when they first met. He went to the rest room and then heard a commotion in Blythe's bedroom.
"James, I can't believe you. You act like you are the man of the house. My husband just died. The man you claimed to feel that was your brother but yet you act like you are happy he died."
"It's not that. I am just happy to be around you is all. You know I still love you." He moved to where Blythe stood but she moved out of his way.
"I am grieving. He was my husband. I will not have you disrespect him so soon after his death."
"So where does that leave us? I thought with him gone we can finally be together." Blythe's face turned livid.
"How dare you? How dare you, you overgrown child! How dare you walk here like you can just win me back soon after you left me with your child! How dare you disrespect my husband! My husband may not have been perfect but he was here and he treated me better than you ever did. You left me remember? You left soon after you got what you wanted and that was money. You claim to love me but how often did I see you all these years that was not related to money? A few times? You never cared. You are so selfish. It was always what you wanted despite how much it might cost other people. Well, I have had it. I think you should leave!" He moved to try to touch her but received a slap from Blythe instead. "I asked you to leave." He looked at Blythe and walked out of the room.
James saw Wilson standing there and they stood there looking at each other. He walked over to pick up his jacket and walked over the threshold. He held the knob for a moment, unsure what to do before turning the knob and walking out. A few minutes later, Wilson heard the sound of a motorcycle revving its engine and driving off. Wilson walked to the bedroom and knocked on the door. He opened it and saw Blythe crying. She looked up and opened her mouth but no sound came out. He walked towards her and sat on the bed. He wrapped his arms around her and allowed the woman to cry.
Dr. Michael Patrickson picked up a parcel and knew who it was from. From the address it was from who he guessed it to be. It looked like an overnight courier from Virginia. He walked down the hallway and knocked on the door. He opened the door to find his patient still sleeping. He laid the parcel on his bedside table and walked slowly back to the door. He heard House murmur.
"I love you, Ally. I love you Baby. Forever!" He turned and slept deeper. The visit helped House despite how much it was against the rules. He did not know what he was going to do with his feelings for Rachel Stevens who clearly did not feel the same way as he did. He saw the way she looked at James Wilson and knew it was a lost cause. He had been in love with her since school and it seemed that no matter how much time had gone by, his feelings for Rachel never seemed to dissipate. It would seem that Rachel could never feel anything other than friendship. He just did not know how to deal with that. He thought for a moment and realized it was better to be her friend than not have her in his life at all. He looked at House and wished he had someone who loved him as much as he loved her. She was waiting for him and would do anything for him. He would bet money so would House. He walked to the door and closed it and walked slowly back to his office. He picked up his stuff and walked out. He locked the door to his office and walked towards the hallway. He saw Jefferson Madden.
"Another overnight shift, Director?"
"Yes. Now, I am going back home to sleep. Watch House okay? We need to make sure he is okay for his flight tomorrow. He's having his surgery for his nerve implants."
"Sure thing, Doc. He seems happier doesn't he?"
"He does…"
"That beautiful woman that visited him sure does love him and feisty too. I met her once and she nearly bit my head off."
"Yes. I'm guessing he would be the same way with her. They are in love and I'm guessing that protectiveness will not leave anytime soon."
"Yes. It's admirable how sweet they are and very cute they are too."
"Yes…" He turned to walk to his car.
"Jeez! That man needs a woman and fast." Madden turned and went back to his rounds.
House opened his eyes and saw that he was not in his bedroom at his condo. He was still in his room at the facility. He had a pleasant dream about his Ally and a red little number. He really did love red on her. He turned his head and saw that there was something on his bedside table. He picked it up and flipped it open. He knew it was from his Ally and opened it. A letter popped out and he began to read it greedily. He wondered what she meant as he opened the parcel more to find pictures of his beautiful and sexy Ally. She posed in different sexy lingerie all for him. He felt himself grow hard in his sleep pants and took it out to rub it. He started to picture his Ally doing it and soon made himself cum. He cleaned himself up with the tissues next to his bedside table and threw it on the trash can next to his bed. He scanned more of the pictures and realized that the red bikini top and red g-string was his favorite and the come hither was his second. Though the red fishnet one was getting close to his second favorite. He just could not figure out which one he liked more. His hot Ally really did love him. He placed his pictures back and put the letter back for safe keeping.
House got up and walked to his adjoining bathroom. He was thankful he had no roommate as he liked his privacy. He stripped and put his clothes into the dirty hamper. He liked that the laundry was picked up every Monday. There were perks to this facility but he missed home. He missed his Ally. He walked in and took a shower cleaning himself with soup and water. He washed his hair too. He dressed and walked out of the room.
He saw Jefferson doing his rounds and nodded his head. He walked towards the activity room and saw a movie start up on the television. He had never seen this movie but he seemed to like it. He thought about the quote that Hubb McCann told to his great nephew, Walter, about being a man. He wished they showed the whole quote but they did not. Though the following quote made him think.
"Sometimes the things that may or may not be true are the things a man needs to believe in the most. That people are basically good. That honor, courage and virtue mean everything; that power and money ... money and power mean nothing. That good always triumphs over evil. And I want you to remember this... that love...true love never dies! Remember that boy ... remember that. Doesn't matter if it is true or not, a man should believe in those things, because those are the things worth believing in... got that ?"
He realized how much he agreed with this quote and liked how much the main characters stayed true to themselves. He found that sometimes it is not often the case with those he encountered. He learned that about his patients that sometimes they are not as what they seem. They hide and omit as much as they can but it was their downfall. In the long run, it harmed them instead. It was why his motto became "Everybody lies". He knew he was not perfect and he was far from it but he also knew that compared to some he was better. He smiled to himself as he realized he was starting to hate his life less and less. He thought it was because of his Ally and just turned his head back to the screen.
Cameron was sleeping when the shrill ring of her phone woke her up. She picked her phone up and groggily answered her phone.
"Hello." She murmured.
"Allison? Were you still asleep? It's ten in the morning! I thought you were a doctor. What kind of doctor are you?" Her mother asked. Cameron quickly woke up to the yelling and started to jostle her sister awake. She mouthed that it was their mother. Rachel immediately woke up and moved to make room for her sister.
"What do you want mother?"
"Do not give me that tone, young lady! I deserve respect and I am sick and tired of you two mistreating me."
"I owe you nothing mother so I ask again what do you want? Or I will hang up. Now answer my question."
"I need money and I figure you are a doctor and you have plenty of money. You can give a few to your family who you disrespected and lied to."
"I will do no such thing and after everything you and everyone have done you know very well I do not wish to talk to you or anyone from this family again."
"You ungrateful little bitch! How dare you treat us this way! All your lying and trouble you caused over the years. My brother was a man of the cloth and why would you think he would do that to you? Why do you keep telling these lies?"
"I didn't make up these lies and I am sick and tired of justifying my actions to you when you won't listen to them anyway."
"That's right because they are a bunch of lies."
"No they are not." Cameron cried. "Why can't you and dad believe me? I was a child and a victim for God sake."
"Do not use God's name in vain, you demon child. I will not have you insulting my family. You hear me?!" She started to yell more but Cameron could not hear anymore. She dropped her phone on the bed and curled herself into a fetal position on Rachel's bed. She cried. "Allison? Are you there?"
"Mother, what do you want? Why do you keep doing this to Ally?" Rachel had picked up the phone and began talking to their estranged mother.
"Rachel?"
"Yes, Mother. What do you want?"
"I want money for starters. It is our retribution and second we are coming to Philadelphia and wondered if you would be there. We should be there two Wednesdays from now." Rachel thought for a moment and realized it would be the Wednesday of the week they had just returned from Virginia.
"Mother, I won't give you money nor Ally and anything else? You can go straight to hell!" She hung up the phone and put it down on the bedside table. She turned to see her sister and hugged her. "We have a problem."
"What?"
"She and the family are coming to visit two weeks from now."
A/N: So how did we like? Yes, I changed the rating to add more detail to Cameron's story. I'm working on chapter 6 now. Don't worry things will slow down. They are kind of panicky. I have a plan no worries. Thanks for reading.
