Chapter 8: Absence Doesn't Make the Heart Grow Fonder

It had been ten weeks since House left for the facility and over that time there were so many developments. Hal Cummings did receive jail time for his actions and as such it was his wife that left a very angry message on Cameron's phone. It led her to then change her number and put a restraining order not just on her uncle. She had stopped hearing from her family but it caused problems for Rachel as their phone calls now transferred to her line. This led Rachel to change her number. She was looking for a new place to stay but it looked like she might be moving to New Jersey and working in PPTH. She had an office in Philadelphia but with recent events, she decided to give the reigns over to her colleagues. It saddened her that this is what her family did to their lives but unfortunately, she could not do more because she was worried that it might add gas to the flame rather than extinguish it.

Cameron was doing better with the help of Landon. After six sessions she was diagnosed with anxiety and depression. She was taken off Serax and put on Zoloft. She was still not one hundred percent better but she was starting to feel like she was getting there and it made her smile. She only had four more weeks to go before House would come back home and she was excited.

Rachel had just come out of the bathroom in an orange tube dress and accompanied it with cute little tan ankle boots with low heel. She took her turn in the shower and cleaned herself. She applied her vanilla scented body cream and put on her low rise white g-string. She decided to forego the bra because of the deep v-cut of the white summer dress that she was about to put on. The dress was asymmetrical. It was longer in the back but shorter in the front. The length of the dress went past her knee as she put it on and added a cognac color boot that had a three inch heel. She put on a baby blue jean jacket and walked out of the bedroom. She and her sister were looking to get a dog. House had been hounding her about why she had not gotten one yet and she decided to end his misery and pick one.

The break did Cameron and Rachel good because it gave them time to relax and spend time with each other. They also started to hang out with their brother, Lucas. Apparently, he was never told he had siblings from his dad's side. In fact, he did not even realize that his dad was alive since he was not prominent in his life. It was Paul who he considered his father since it was he who raised him. Henry had tried to get Lucas to betray both his new sisters which resulted in him telling his birth father that he was nothing but a sperm donor. Unfortunately, for his mother Caroline, she was still in love with her ex. Rachel and Cameron did not know what to make of what he told them and took pity that he needed to bond with a sibling who was not under the age of eighteen.

When Cameron came into the living room, she saw her siblings watching an episode of 'General Hospital'.

"How can House watch this shit? It's so crazy and insane," asked her brother. "I once asked him why he watched this and he just glared at me then proceeded to ramble about the plot. I was so lost and confused within the whole thing I needed an Excedrin by the end of it."

"I don't know either but make sure you don't delete anything. He'll have a conniption if he found out you deleted it. He made me promise not to delete it. I complained that I could not record anything and I finally got him to delete the 'L Word' and 'OC' after promising him a complete dvd set for both."

"That's why there are collection editions of them. I wondered what it was doing there because it doesn't strike me as a show you would watch, Ally."

"It's not but it is what he watches and it is better than to start arguments over petty things like tv shows so I don't bother." They both nodded. "Listen, Greg is coming home soon so I want to get this condo cleaned before he gets here. Rach, what time is your date with Wilson tonight?" After that innocent night, they started dating. Cameron had a feeling that after House came back she would be moving in with Wilson. It made her smile that her sister was finally becoming happy.

"Around seven thirty so we have time to go check out dogs in the pound but if not we can look at pet shops."

"Yes. Okay. Luke, what time do you have to go again?"

"I have two hours with you ladies and then I have an appointment with a client." The siblings filed out and got into two separate cars. The two cars drove to the pound where the siblings walked around the enclosures of the dogs. They walked into one with what was coincidentally holding a Boston Terrier. It was what House and Cameron wanted. The dog was still a puppy but apparently it was potty-trained to pee and poop in kitty litter. Cameron laughed at how silly it was but loved the dog nonetheless. It was docile and kind. What sealed the deal was when she realized the dog's name was 'Mozart' or Mozie. She picked up the puppy and brought its face up to her face so she could see. The dog then proceeded to nuzzle and lick her face. It made her laugh. She signed the papers and picked up the necessary paperwork. From what she learned, Mozie had all the proper vet check-ups. It was just that the owners had to move away and could not take the dog with them. Their loss and her gain.

They went to the pet store to pick up the necessary things for Mozie and went back to the condo. Lucas left soon after.

"I hope your daddy loves you as much as I already do. Don't worry Mozie, daddy is not a mean man. His bark is worse than his bite."

"Ally, you're talking to it like it's your kid." Rachel laughed.

"Because he is, aren't you my little angel?" Cameron cooed at her new pet.

"Are you ready to go? We need to go or we'll miss our spa appointment and I need help getting ready tonight." Cameron nodded and they left the condo once more after making sure Mozie was situated.

They went to get their waxing done and got a pedicure. They also had their hair trimmed and a retouching of their hair color. Afterwards, they got massages and left the spa feeling relaxed. They had lunch at a local deli and returned to the condo.

Cameron began tidying up and doing the laundry. She started to clean the bathroom and the kitchen as she began preparing dinner. Around five, she started to make a soy-glazed salmon with cucumber-avocado salad. She had always been a health nut but she wasn't sure if her boyfriend would be one. He used to live on take-out on a daily basis. Hopefully she could get that habit to decrease a little bit for she was not looking forward to the extra fat and calories it entailed. Her morning jogs left her fit but it was her yoga that made her feel more relaxed and stress-free. She had a feeling House would like to see some of those yoga poses but she wanted to keep it hidden for a little longer. He promised that they would start running outside together during the mornings so that got her excited as it gave them a chance to act more of a couple.

Rachel had just left for her date and Cameron found herself writing in her journal. It helped her sort through her feelings that burned through her soul as well as her never-ending thoughts.

Around ten, Rachel came home and went straight to bed. The date went great as she knew it would. Cameron changed into a red lacy babydoll with a matching panty. Like all her bed attire, it was short and incredibly sexy. The design was very fifty's but she found she loved it nonetheless. She climbed into her bed, waiting for her next dream date with House.

"So tell me what you want to hear
Something that will light those ears
Sick of all the insincere
So I'm gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don't need another perfect line
Don't care if critics ever jump in line
I'm gonna give all my secrets away"

(OneRepublic – Secrets)

The day of House's release, Cameron found herself working until noon. She woke up early, excited that it was the day. Last week she had gotten another depo-shot to prevent her from getting pregnant but was thrilled one day she would not need birth-control. She made breakfast and took a shower. She added her favorite body cream and added a few sprints of vanilla body spray before putting on a red and sparkly bikini type bra without underwire on that came with a garter belt and a matching red g-string. She made sure to pick red for she knew House loved the color on her. She attached another barely nude knee high stocking to the garter and slipped on a red pencil dress with a thin black belt at her waist. She donned a four inch heel for good measure. She added no jewelry except what she had on her left ring finger. She left her hair down but curled it a bit more to add more curls. She added a bit of eye makeup and added lip gloss. She put on her black sanctuary jacket with snap collar. It looked like a motorcycle jacket but it could also work as something professional. She picked up her small black clutch and walked out of the condo.

Rachel was still asleep but it was okay since she spent the majority of the time yesterday working with the professional movers to Wilson's apartment. Cameron drove her car to the hospital. Wilson had told her last night that he would pick up House and drop him off at the hospital. She asked him to text her when he was on the way up to her office.

She had been filing for her department since arriving when she heard her phone beep with a text message. It read that they were parking the car. She grinned as she stripped her clothes, leaving only her lingerie set. She left on her stockings and shoes as she put on her lab coat. She sat on her desk and waited for him to come through her door. A few minutes later a knock was heard and he stepped in. He was thinner and his hair was shorter but it was still her House. He looked fit too. He wore blue jeans and a t-shirt with his black leather jacket and sneakers. He took notice of her attire and locked the door. She grinned at him and sauntered over to him. She took off his jacket and started to strip him of his clothing. Neither one had yet to say a word. They were too busy drinking each other in. His clothes were removed leaving him in his boxer-briefs as he hungrily kissed her and nipped her lips. Their tongues danced with one another as if they were readjusting to the separation. He untied her bra and she pulled his underwear down as he stepped out of them. He unhooked the stockings and pulled her underwear off of her. He cleared her desk by throwing all of the contents on the floor and picking her up and placing her on her table. He slid on her slick opening as they both groaned at how tight and good it felt as they moved. He had her put her legs on his shoulder as he pumped in and out of her. She opened her mouth but as she was about to scream he kissed her to muffle the sounds. He picked her up and backed her up against the wall as she placed her legs around his waist. Their orgasm finally came but he was not finished as he repeated what he did the first time they were intimate. He flipped her around and took her from behind and fondled her breasts from behind. He nipped and kissed her neck one side first then the other. He was marking his territory once more and she found it a complete turn-on. She tilted her neck more to give him better access as he continued to repeat marking her while they moved. She turned her neck slightly, seeking his lips out passionately. Once more it quieted the screams that wanted to let go as the pleasure finally overtook them. He slowly pulled out of her and kissed her. He grabbed her face as they continued to kiss and when they pulled apart he stroked her face.

"Hi Baby."

"Hi Greg. How did you like your surprise?"

"Yes. I remember this set from the photos you sent me."

"I remember you loved me in red and so…"

"I do love you in red but then again I love you in everything." He grinned at her. "What's the plan today baby?"

"Well, I was thinking we could go for lunch and have a quiet night at home? Or would you rather do something else?"

"No. That sounds perfect." They began dressing. They were standing next to one another as they kept looking at each other lovingly. Cameron began picking up her files as House came up behind her and hugged her from behind.

"Ready to go, Baby?" She nodded her head as she picked up her jacket and clutch. They left her office and walked towards the elevator and got into it. They saw a few of the staff and one of them was Robert Chase. He looked at them with surprise as House put both of his arms around her and vice versa as they turned to face each other, ignoring the glares that Chase was shooting at them. Chase exited the elevator first which allowed the couple to envelop in another heated kiss. They heard someone clearing their voice to alert them that they needed to leave. They walked hand in hand. As they walked, Cameron used her free hand to wrap it around his arm that held her preoccupied hand. He kissed her head as they walked, blissfully unaware that people were looking at them as they walked out of the hospital. They walked until he stopped in front of his bike. She looked at him quizzically as she wondered how he got it there.

"We made a few stops along the way." He nodded as he gave her a white woman's motorcycle helmet with pink flowers - a simple but beautiful design. She hopped on right behind him, not bothering to care what might happen to her car. "I see you're excited to ride the bike again." She grinned. "Mhmm. Wilson will bring your car over as you might have probably guessed."

"You obviously planned this so how about you just take me where we need to go?" He got on the bike and she wrapped her arms around his middle tightly as she placed little kisses on his back. He smirked as he started the bike. The bike started to move as she felt it rev faster and faster. She loved the feel of the bike around her as it moved.

He stopped at their favorite deli and he hopped off the bike. He pulled off his helmet as she followed suit. She moved closer to him as he grabbed her hand and pulled her to the establishment. He asked for a booth so they could sit close to one another as they looked at the menus. They ordered their food and began catching up. He told her all the things that happened and so did she.

"Anything interesting happen there?" Before he could answer a woman walked up to them as if she recognized him. "She's heading this way. Do you know her, Baby?"

"That's Lydia, Baby." Cameron looked at Lydia and then House. He turned to Cameron and said "She's not a threat. She tried but I told her I was very unavailable." She nodded but was still weary with the woman who was coming their way.

"Greg! When did you get out and who is this?"

"This is my Ally. Ally, this is Lydia, Baby." For good measure, he went to kiss Cameron who responded quickly. Before Lydia could ask any more questions, the food came but the couple didn't seem to notice she was still there nor that their food was now sitting on their table. She walked away quickly feeling dejected. After a while, they broke apart and began eating. They had forgotten there was a woman who was there talking to them.

After a while, House paid and went back home. Rachel was no longer at the condo, knowing they wanted time together. They walked in the bathroom as they began stripping. He turned on the water and set it to the right temperature and got inside. He pulled her inside and placed her under the shower head. Within minutes, he kissed her and slid inside her. They kept on kissing as they kept up with their passion. He gripped her hip and she his hair as their sexual play went on. The moaning and groaning filled the shower until after they reached their nirvana. They took turns cleaning each other up with shampoo and body wash. When they got out of the shower, he saw what she was going to put on.

She began putting lotion on but she saw him looking at her as she picked a babydoll to put on. She picked a black halter babydoll with a ribbon in the front with lace covering the breast. She put the panty on first and slipped the lingerie on next.

"Whenever we get home and we don't have guests, I'll wear these things from the moment we get home to when we go to bed. If we have guests, I'll wait until we go to our bedroom, okay?" He grinned but just kept looking. "Can you just wear your boxer-briefs when we're alone? I think we're more comfortable with limited clothing don't you? It's less constricting since it will likely come off anyway." He laughed but agreed.

"Okay, but I want the shower sex as a daily thing either at night or in the morning."

"Deal." He watched her move about the kitchen making sautéed chicken and vegetables. He watched her cut the vegetables as he watched her bend down to get a pot or something else she needed. He walked up behind her as she was turning the chicken and then saw her add vegetables into the mix. She seasoned and covered it up. She lowered the temperature. He pressed himself behind her as she could feel his erection behind her. She tried to play it off as nothing as she continued to walk around him to clean after the mess she made from cooking. He tried again but this time he backed her against the refrigerator and pulled her panty off of her and picked her up to put her on the kitchen counter where he stood in between her legs. He pulled his underwear down and they began to once again do what they did in the shower. They ate their dinner and then continued to christen the condo with the couch, against the refrigerator door, her vanity table, the bathroom counter and finally their bed as they laid exhausted from all the sex. They fell asleep wrapped around each other as their limbs intertwined with each other. It was how they woke up the next day and all the days to come. It was good to finally be home.

It had been two weeks since his return and he was late working on a case. She had come to his office at the end of the day to see if he was ready to go home. He told her to go home and that Wilson would drop him off in a few hours. She had finished cooking dinner and waited on her bed dressed in another alluring outfit. She wore a lace babydoll set that had a deep plunge in the front. The back resembled a corset but overall it was just like all the ones she wore at home. Every night, she wore a different one and sometimes it was a repeat from before and sometimes new lingerie. There were teddies and then there was the see through kimono which he ripped to shreds as he took it off of her. A few of her chemise and babydolls did not make it during their love making but he agreed to take her shopping for more. She didn't know whether or not it was for his sake or hers.

Her phone alerted her to Rachel's call and the two began to catch up over the week. She learned that Jen was coming over to New Jersey. She was in the middle of the conversation when she heard House talking to Mozie.

"Hi Moz. Where's mommy?" She found it funny that both she and House referred to the dog as their baby. The dog was spoiled with treats and seemed to enjoy eating so much so that it was a plump little puppy. "Baby, I'm home." He came to the bedroom to find her talking to Rachel and kissed her on the forehead before heading back outside to pick up a plate of her delicious cooking. He sat on the kitchen chair and ate his dinner. She came out a few minutes later and sat on his lap. He kissed her hello and she turned her head to rest on his shoulder. "Tired? You waited for me?" She nodded "Thank you. You didn't have to."

"You know I sleep better when I'm with you." She yawned and soon fell asleep where she was. He smiled at his beauty and finished his dinner. He picked her up bridal style and placed his dish in the sink. She instantly wrapped her arms around his neck as he moved back to their bedroom and placed her on the bed. As he was about to leave to go to the bathroom, she yanked him back, refusing to let go of him.

"Hold on a little bit, Ally. I just have to go the bathroom okay?" She nodded sleepily before turning. He came back minutes later as he stripped his clothing, leaving him in his underwear. He pulled her against him and fell asleep as well spooning her from behind. He was not asleep for long when he heard her phone vibrate, alerting her to a phone call. It read Robert Chase. From what he knew, they did not talk to one another so he wondered why he would be calling now. Another sound alerted him to a voice mail and soon after he fell asleep holding his Ally tighter. What they didn't know is that trouble lurked around the corner.

Cameron was in her office working when the door opened to reveal her ex. He walked in and awkwardly stood in front of her desk before sitting down on the chair that she had situated there. She waited for him to speak, waiting for him to say something that was on his mind and for the reason why he was in her office. After a moment he spoke.

"I'm sorry about the way I have been handling things. I just haven't been able to let go or believe that it is over between the two of us."

"It is. I love Greg and that's never going to change."

"How can you be so sure? You never allowed yourself to be happy. You never tried when you were with me." He walked around to where she was seated and kneeled in front of her. "I am in love with you, Allison and I am going to fight for you. I won't let that asshole take you away from me."

Cameron jerked herself away from her ex and stood up. She angrily moved to the other side of her office and paced.

"I don't love you, Chase. I never did."

"Surely, you don't mean that. You and I were good together. We had great sex too, don't you remember?" Cameron didn't say a word. "Didn't we?"

"I think you should leave. We're over and I'm happy with Greg."

"Just answer the question, Allison."

"No, we were not. I was unhappy with you. You were trying to make me be who I was not. I felt constricted and closed off. I didn't trust you with me. I tried to replace Greg with you and yes, I didn't allow myself to try because I knew that you were never the one. He is."

"But we were good, Allison. Can't you see?" He moved to grab her hand and tried to kiss her. She moved away.

"I was never satisfied with you…sexually." He looked shocked. "I faked all of my orgasms. I just wanted you to get off of me." He looked angry and pissed off as he stormed out of the office. He turned around and said.

"This isn't over, Allison. I'll win you back and get you away from him if it is the last thing I do."

Cameron stood there immobilized and unsure of what to do. House walked into her open office door to find her standing there in the middle of her office. He walked over in front of her and took a seat in the chairs where Chase had abruptly vacated minutes ago. He pulled her down to his lap.

"Was that the wombat?"

"Yes. He won't take the hint. He says he wants to win me back and he can't get it to his skull that I don't love him. I never cared for him that way, like I love you. It was like being married to a brother." She made a face that resembled one who had tasted something bad and was desperately trying to spit the taste out. House laughed.

"He's in love with you and I can't blame him. You're beautiful, intelligent, and downright sexy." She grinned. She kissed him quickly before standing up.

"What are you doing, Baby?"

"I came to get some coffee. The coffee that my new ducklings tried to give me looked like mud." She laughed as she went to her little kitchenette and pulled out his red mug. She poured him coffee and fixed it just the way he liked it. She went over to him and sat right back on his lap as she turned around to face him. She took a sip before handing it over to him.

"Thanks Baby. I needed a pick me up."

"It's not my fault you wanted to have a mini-marathon."

"Are you going to blame it all on me? You were not exactly stopping me with all that moaning and groaning."

"What can I say? You do things to my body that I can't resist."

"The same goes for me, Baby." He handed her his cup as he watched her drink more coffee from it. They sat there sharing his one cup of coffee until it was finished. She took the cup and put it on the desk in front of her as he pulled her back to him. She watched him fingering her black and white dress that had black intricate designs over the middle. Her black pumps made her look hotter. She watched him slip his finger inside to see what she was wearing underneath and pulled her dress up long enough to see an intricate bra and bikini set. The bra was mesh and seemed like a complex design. It was also partly sheer, only covering the nipple area. He fingered the panty to reveal that it was an ouvert one. He looked at her and realized that she had put on crotchless panties. He looked at her as she smiled evilly at him. He got up and locked the door as he went back to her and saw that she had just left her dress just the way he had it. He pulled his pants down and pulled her on top of him. "I like how we don't have to get fully naked on this one baby but I still prefer the other set you normally wear. So much more you when I see you wear them. I like this one too because it is sexy and different. I don't know. Do you have more of these?"

"A few." She moved her hips and grinded them against his as they once again found their rhythm.

"I don't like that he was here, Baby. I don't like it."

"Neither do I. I know you saw him call my cell last night."

"I wanted you to tell me." He groaned as she swirled her hips more. "I know you wouldn't cheat on me but it still doesn't take away the fact that there's another one after you."

"We both have pasts but the point is I am choosing to be with you. Are we doing this or not? No more talking." They continued their movements. They increased intensity as the couple became more and more aroused with one another. There was a door knock not soon after they reached their orgasms. They righted their clothing as Cameron opened the door to reveal Rachel and Wilson.

"What did you two do in here? It reeks of sex. Did we just? You know what I got my answer let's go…" Rachel dragged her sister out of her office. "You two are washing your hands before I share fries with you."

Wilson and House looked at one another and then followed their significant others to the cafeteria. When they got there, the women were already discussing about Chase.

"We really need to set him up with Jen. This is getting ridiculous. He called me last night and today he tried to kiss me. It is getting out of hand."

"What is it with you with drama?" asked her sister, Rachel

"They find me when I least expect it." They stood in front of the line and as they reached the front, gave their trays to the workers. Their men finally caught up to them as they paid for their meals and took the trays. They picked a table and placed their trays down. House sat down and pulled Cameron down to sit on his lap. There were many people looking at the unorthodox couple, finding it hard that the misanthropic doctor was showing that much affection to his ex-employee who was now his very serious girlfriend. The couple did not seem to notice as they continued to eat and chat with their friends. "I am tired of it though. I mean can't I be happy with the man I love? Is that too much trouble to ask without exes who do not get the hint as we try to be together?"

"I get it. I do but I do know that no matter what you two will always find a way back to one another. It's just how it will always be. You're meant to be. It's fate or destiny. However you choose to think about it." The couple in subject nodded their heads. "Just be on guard for now with Robert. We'll find a way to get him with Jen."

"Are you matchmaking again, Ally?" Asked Wilson

"Huh? What am I missing?" asked House

"I may have set those two up." She pointed to Rachel and Wilson. "They had an instant connection and they were taking forever. I wanted my sister happy and Jimmy is a good man. He better not hurt her though." She shot Wilson daggers before laughing. House joined in with her then so did Rachel and her beau.

The rest of the day was uneventful as House told Ally that he and Wilson needed a little man bonding time. So Ally went home and changed. She put on a black teddy that resembled part of a bodysuit. It was again see-through as it barely covered the front of her body. There were tiny pink ribbons decorated like buttons and the top had a little pink triangle to cover the nipple. The back looked like a bra but again just like the majority of her underwear this one barely covered her. The g-string had a tiny little bow that was put on the top string that was below her belly button. She was sitting on her knees as she was playing with Mozie on their bed.

"I wonder where your daddy is Mozie? I hope he likes this outfit. It's one of my favorites. If he does, let's hope he doesn't rip another because I really like this one. He did promise to take me shopping but I'm not sure when though. What do you think? Does mommy look hot for daddy?" Their honeymoon phase of their relationship was burning hot as they were unable to take their hands off each other. House took her to multiple dates and on each found ways to take her. The motorcycle ride turned into a forest romp then followed by sex on his motorcycle. They were insatiable for each other and it was because they were playing catch up with time. The dog yipped in agreement with its owner as he scurried towards the door. She heard the door open and close as she heard him talking to Mozie.

"Hi Mozie. Mommy inside the bedroom waiting for daddy?" Mozie jumped up and down waiting to be petted. He removed his shoes and placed both his coat and his shoes inside the closet by the front door. House walked into the kitchen to pick up a doggie treat and called out to Cameron. "Baby? I'm home. You in the bedroom?"

"Yes, Greg. I'm just reading." He heard her approach and put down her journal article. He found her kneeling as he went up to her and touched her outfit. "Do you like it? I thought you might like something different this time?" He swallowed hard as he began to strip down and drop each article of clothing on their floor. She looked at him as he removed his underwear as it fell along with the rest of his clothing.

"Come here, Baby. I want to look at this one before I remove it off of you." She inched closer until he was in between her legs she wrapped her legs around his ass as to pull him closer to her. "I like this one but I think I would rather have you instead." He took the front and tore the fabric and he yanked the flimsy material off of his lover. Then he picked her up and placed her against the headboard. He picked up the scattered pieces of the teddie and threw it with the rest of the clothing.

"Baby, that was one of my favorites."

"We'll get another one, I promise. I loved it but you know what I love more." She shook her head. "Being inside of you." He pulled her and went deep inside of her. He pulled out and went back in harder this time, earning both a loud moan. Her legs went higher and she wrapped them just below his arm pits and they were moving harder and faster. Loud noises were coming from the bedroom and Mozie did not seem to mind one bit as if it was a regular occurrence between his very amorous parents. It probably was with the way they were insatiable for one another. House and Cameron were so into their love making that they did not hear someone approach their front door.

Chase approached the condo and went to knock. He heard noises coming in and thought something might have happened to Cameron. He turned the door, finding that it in fact was unlocked and went inside the bedroom. What he found was not what he meant to find. He found the two lovers in the throes of passion. As he watched House and Cameron fuck each other to oblivion. They were screaming and groaning.

"Just like that, Baby."

"Swirl that hip, Baby.

"URG! Harder harder. Faster! More Greg! URG! Like that! URG!" She moaned and screamed.

Chase stood there unsure what to make of it. Never had he seen Cameron that way with anyone and seeing her with their ex-boss upset him. She was very in love with her lover and so was House. They seemed to be attuned to each other's needs as they rode each other into oblivion, screaming each other's names as they reached their orgasm.

"Greg!"

"Ally"

The couple looked at one another. They remained that way, staring, until they leaned in and kissed each other on the lips. It was turning passionate and heated as both individuals pulled each more closely. They pulled apart and spoke.

"I love you Ally."

"I love you too. I belong to you and you belong to me. I don't care what anyone says or thinks about us. We love each other and that's all that counts." She nodded as he leaned over to kiss her on the lips. Before Chase could witness round two, he cleared his throat. The couple turned around and their eyes popped open. House tried to cover his beloved, not caring of anything else other than having another man see his Ally that way. He knew Cameron and Chase had been intimate before but Cameron was no longer with him and he did not get to look any longer. Yes, he was definitely territorial and possessive. Cameron turned to her ex as she wrapped the sheet higher up her upper body. "Robert, can you go and wait outside for a moment? We'll be right outside." Chase left the bedroom and closed the door on his way. The couple looked at one another puzzled but unsure what to do. They got up and House picked up his jeans and slipped them back on, not caring that he did not put underwear beforehand. Cameron put a fresh pair of underwear and put on her robe as the couple looked at one another. She took his hand and pulled him out of the bedroom.

The couple found Chase sitting on the couch looking depressed and sad. He looked like his heart had been shattered into tiny little pieces and stomped on. He looked up as they walked in hand in hand.

"I thought something was up and so I barged in. I didn't mean to barge in here like that but I was concerned. I'm sorry." He looked embarrassed and ashamed for seeing what he saw.

"Why are you here, Robert? I made myself perfectly clear where I stand. Why did you even bother?" As she inched closer to House to make a point as he wrapped his arms around her, pulling her tight. She put her hands on top of his as they waited for Chase to respond.

"I am sorry. I just thought I would try to give it a shot one more time before I knew I had lost you."

"You never had me. I was always Greg's. You knew that from the get-go when we met. I met the one for me when I went into that interview and there was no going back. The heart and soul recognized its other half." She looked at House with so much love that it made Chase envious. "We may have taken longer to be with each other but now that we are, we are not about to give each other up without a fight. Not you or anyone will separate us." He nodded. "Listen Robert. I am really sorry. I wish you happiness but…"

"But just not with you." She nodded.

"I'm happy where I am. I love him and he loves me."

"I see that. I saw the way you two looked at each other. You didn't even notice I was there. If I hadn't made myself noticed, I would have witnessed the second round." He felt nauseated.

"That's your own fault, Wombat. What gave you the right to walk in our home uninvited?"

"I thought she was in trouble okay? I thought you might of…"

"Greg would never do that to me. It's the opposite actually. He's too protective and possessive. He's incredibly territorial but then again so am I with him. I wouldn't have it any other way. We're in love. Please just try to move on and find happiness. I will never leave Greg. NEVER! Until we die, we will be together and even then we'll find a way back to each other even in death." Chase saw House nod as he pulled her closer. House did not care who saw that he loved his Ally as long as they did not try to harm her or separate her from him. If they did, the wrath of Dr. Gregory House would be unleashed and no one likes to see that. He was not the most feared in the hospital for nothing, even with Ally by his side.

"I know…the way you looked at him is like… I have never seen you look at me like that before. And I saw what he removed on the floor and you never wore those things when you were with me. Why him?"

"Greg makes me feel alive. He ignites fire in me and his love for me makes me that it is all over my body. Even now, even when he holds me like this I can feel his love and I know he can feel mine. He makes me feel sexy and for the first time feel like I am not some awkward and ugly person." House made to protest. "You know what I mean, Greg. For years, it is what I was conditioned to believe and with you, I don't feel that. You bring out a different side of me I have never felt before. I love it." She turned to Chase. "Do you understand?"

"Yes. I just wish…" A thought came up to her head.

"Listen, I know you are not ready but do you remember Jen Cox? She's Greg's cousin and a lawyer?" Chase nodded. "But she likes you. She really likes you. I can see you two being happy if you let yourself be happy too." She walked over to the desk nearby as House continued to glare at Chase. She handed him a card. "Give her a call when you are ready. But a warning…if you hurt her you'll have my sister and I as well as Greg here to hurt you. Jen and Greg are very close. She's like his sister so be warned." He nodded as he turned to leave.

"I'm happy for you, Allison." Cameron tried to object. "No, I am. As much as I did not need to see what I just saw, it was what I needed to see. You're different or maybe I just never knew the real you. I'm sorry if I made you feel like you could never be yourself with me. It was never my intention." He turned to House. "You may be a jerk but I know you love her. Treat her well because no one wants to feel the hole in their heart as the one they love left."

"I will never let Ally go."

"I told you Robert. I'm with him forever. He's my other half." She stood next to House as Chase processed all the information. He turned around one last time to look at the couple and walked out the door.

House and Cameron looked at one another as House walked to the door and put the chain as well as the alarms as he locked up.

"There. No more unwanted guests." She nodded as she turned and walked to the kitchen to get herself a glass of water. He followed her as she went to the refrigerator to grab a bottle of water. "You okay?" She nodded.

"I just wanted him to be happy. I don't like that I am the cause of his emotional pain."

"I know you don't." She felt him wrap his arms around her middle. He pulled her close. "It's one of the most beautiful qualities about you that I love. You're kind and you're caring."

"You really believe that?"

"You know I do, Baby." She nodded. "Okay, my little cupid why did you set up my cousin with the Wombat?"

"She's in love with him." His face looked shocked. "She told me while you were gone. I want him happy and I want her happy. They are a good fit." He laughed.

She pulled away from him and started walking back to the bedroom.

"Where are you going?"

"Round two?" She untied her robe and threw it at him and began taking her underwear off as she threw the little scrap of fabric. She pretended to pick up something as he began unbuttoning his jeans. He let them fall and dropped them alongside her own discarded clothing. He walked over to her and threw her over his shoulder as he walked back to the bedroom for what might look like multiple rounds of lovemaking. Mozie slept on unperturbed with the recent noise disruptions. So much for being a guard dog.

Stacy Warner drove towards highway I-95 as she drove from Boston to New Jersey. She received an invitation to the next benefit and decided to go. She heard from Lisa Cuddy what had happened to her ex and realized that she never stopped loving him. She hoped that the night of the benefit might change that and their relationship would be reignited. She also knew that he was no longer limping and was with his ex-employee, Allison Cameron. From what she gathered, they were very serious and despite how early their relationship was, Cuddy seemed to think marriage was only a matter of time for House and Cameron. It was then she realized there was no way she would let that happen. Stacy Warner didn't like to loose and she was about to get back the love of her life, Dr. Gregory House.

A/N: How did I do? No worries Dr. Nolan and Dr. Landon will be back. I'm just trying to add a bit of something into their love story. There's a reason to this title after all. Hm! Anyone guess what Landon meant about Patrickson yet?
