A/N: Thanks to Labellebeaucoup for her help and support. To my readers: thank you for reading and all your support in my little story.

I make believe
That you are here
It's the only way
I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy

And everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby

Chapter 20: The Beginning of the End…

The next morning around six, House and Cameron woke up to each other's arms as they began getting ready for the day. They were currently packing their clothes and when they were finished, they walked into the bathroom to shower as they usually did. They came out an hour later, as House began dressing fast as he normally did. He walked over to her and kissed her head before walking over to the phone to call for room service. They were scheduled to board the bus half passed eight so they still had plenty of time. Cameron walked over to the bed where her clothes were placed. She picked up her fishnet black mesh bra that was sheer in the bands and breast area. This bra also had a strappy back. She picked up the matching panty, and slid it up her thighs and secured it to her waist. She adjusted it a bit more before sitting down. She reached over to add some body lotions and deodorant before tossing both to their luggage. House walked back and saw her. He smiled brightly at her sexy little number. Picking her up, he placed her on his lap.

"I like this one too, Baby. Really hot." House told her as he fingered the little string that barely covered her derriere. "What did you have in mind when you picked this little one up?" She shrugged in his arms.

"Isn't it obvious? It looked hot and I wanted to wear it." He smiled. "We have time?" They looked at the time before attacking one another. He laid her down on the bed before pulling her underwear off of her. She yanked his clothes off of him and tossed them on the floor with her dress. When they were both bare, they gazed at one another before she yanked him to her with his neck. Aligning himself to her entrance, he pushed through and they moved in their own dance they had done so many times since they got together. Both moving faster and faster for they knew soon they would be interrupted. There was knocking just as they found their release. They grinned serenely at one another as House pulled out of her. "See. I knew you saw why I wore it." He quickly wrapped himself in a robe and allowed the staff to wheel the table in. The staff left a second later as House walked back to see Cameron pull on a black mesh strappy and sporty style bra with a zip up front. She zipped it half way before pulling on the matching panty. She looked behind her to see her naked husband. "Not now, Greg. Later. We do not have time for another round." He pouted. She walked over to him. "I promise. I'll make it up to you. Not like I can resist you anyway." She kissed him and turned around to finish dressing.

House walked over to her as he finished redressing. "I'll hold you to that, Ally Baby. I'm going to let you finish while I put these in our dirty pile" She smiled at him as he held up her underwear he recently just pulled off her. She had just sprayed a little bit of body spray before handing it to him. He put them in the proper sections of the bag before sitting back down on the bed to watch his wife get dressed. She pulled on a short sleeve loose knit fitted turtleneck sweater mini dress and put on her black boots. It was a dark grey dress with intricate line designs all around the dress. She picked up her black coat and purse before walking out of the bedroom. She put her things on a nearby chair before going around to check the room for anything they might have forgotten. There was already money on the counter for the maid service. Finding that there was nothing she might have forgotten, she sat down on House's lap and looked down for the plate of food that was in front of them. House rubbed her legs as he urged her to eat. She smiled at his thoughtfulness before digging in herself. After they were finished, they picked up their belongings and walked down the hallway to the elevator that would lower them to the main floor. They saw the nice elderly couple that was from their bus tour and greeted them.

"Hello Mr. and Mrs. Daniels." Cameron spoke sweetly to the older couple.

"Drs House. How has your honeymoon been?"

"It has been amazing but I feel that this has been too short. Luckily, my husband promised we would go back again." She looked up at House as she spoke to the couple.

"I promised I would, Ally, and I intend to make it happy for you." House tipped her face to kiss her lips. She sighed when he pulled away and leaned into him. The Daniels looked at House and Cameron and smiled. They could tell that they truly loved one another. The quartet got off the elevator and House assisted the Daniels with their luggage. They lined up to the bus and while the Daniels picked the front seat, House and Cameron went all the way to the back. They wanted the privacy and besides the Daniels, they did not like who they were surrounded with. House allowed Cameron inside the seat before sliding in after her. Cameron angled her body to his before letting her head rest on his shoulder. He kissed her before turning around to observe the surroundings. The bus began to move as the couple began talking quietly amongst themselves. The drive from Venice to Pisa was three and a half hours and around noon the bus finally arrived at their destination. The tour began getting out and soon began taking pictures all around them. Once more House and Cameron grew tired of the constant yapping and complaining of the other people and decided to make their way quicker to their next destination. They decided to take the train up to the destination and proceeded to tell the tour guide their plans. As per usual, they were told where they would stay. House and Cameron looked towards the Daniels as Cameron looked at House. He sighed as he offered the same courtesy to the elderly couple. The foursome took a cab to the train station and House paid for their fare. They got into the train and situated themselves into the seats as they waited a long while for their ride. All falling asleep along the way only waking up for meals. Around midnight, they finally arrived at their destination and took a cab to their hotel. They were relieved that tomorrow would be a rest day. The Daniels thanked the couple for their kindness and walked to their room, leaving House and Cameron to stare at them. They walked to their room and sat down on the bed.

"Thank you, Greg. I could tell the group was starting to get to them and…" House kissed her.

"I know. They are a kind couple." She nodded. She got up but could not decide on what to do. "What's wrong?"

"I want to wash all the train stuff away but I am too tired." He sighed and walked with her to the bathroom. They washed each other carefully, both too tired for coupling. They got out and House pulled on a clean pair of underwear. "Thank you." She smiled up to him. "I feel better." She put on a red lacy halter baby doll with lace trim on the bust and all the way to the hem. The fly away revealed the matching red panty she wore. She yawned before turning to walk to the bed. She lied down and fell asleep within minutes. House laughed and turned off around the room before getting into the bed to lie down next to her. He turned off the bedside lamp before pulling her close to his warm body. She fell asleep within minutes.

The next morning, House called the front desk to inquire about where they might have a good couples massage. The staff member told him that the hotel was actually a resort and had a good customer rating. This staff member even made an appointment for House and Cameron an hour after he called. It would include spa treatments. When they were ready to go, they undressed and donned the fluffy white robes that came with the resort. They were still early so Cameron decided to get some waxing done. She came back just in time for the massage. The masseurs came to walk them to the room where the massage was to be conducted. The men told the couple that they would give them a few minutes to get situated and to just knock when they were ready. The door closed and House and Cameron looked at the room. The music played loudly with soothing sounds. House touched the table that they would be lying on.

"Hm! Seems comfortable. What do you think, Ally?"

"I think right now my attention is elsewhere." She walked over to him and untied his robe. "There is something about you being naked under that robe that made me so wet and in need of you." The robes fell to the ground and House spun her around so that her back touched the wall.

"Is this what you want?" She felt him hard as he came closer to her. All she could do was nod. "Okay then. We have to be quick okay?" She nodded once more. He leaned over her to lock the door before picking her up. "Lock your legs around me, Ally." She did as he asked. "Ready?" She nodded enthusiastically before he swiftly entered her. She arched her back to give him more access as she moved with him. "Shh! We have to be quiet."

"Fuck quiet and I want you to fuck me now!" She told him and he grinned. Their rapid movements began making banging noises. Harder and harder they went till the attendants came in knocking on the door. After a few more movements, both came calling each other's names as they did so. The door rapidly opened and the staff looked at the couple. "OOOPS!" Cameron blushed and turned her face to House's chest. The other staff left, leaving the two masseurs. They turned around to allow the couple to get onto the table before starting the massage. The two men worked on the muscles for an hour before House and Cameron proceeded to get some facials and get some body scrubs. They decided to have some haircuts as well so they did just that. It seemed was intended as a couple's massage, turned into a full-body spa day.

Around after two in the afternoon, the couple went back into the room and decided to make use of the Jacuzzi. They decided to use their bathing suits so as not to allow any coupling while they allowed the heat of the water to relax them. Cameron went to their luggage to retrieve the bathing suits. She handed him his swimsuit. She could not wait for his reaction when he realized it was a square cut. It was shorter than his usual swim trunks but she knew he would look hot in it. She hoped that he would not protest. With a giggle, she put on another mini-mini bikini but this one was in red to match his swim trunks. She had just put on the bottoms when she heard him.

"Baby? What am I wearing?" He emphasized with his trunks. "Why are you laughing? This is not funny."

"I thought you might wear it for me. I'm wearing this one for you. I think it looks hot on you." Using her fingers, she trailed it around his chest before giving him a kiss. She walked to the Jacuzzi while she left him to contemplate his next step. She got inside and called out to him. "Greg? Baby, you coming?" Within a few minutes, he came out, still wearing the same swim suit and she moved to allow him room. He placed her in front of him while they laid down in the tub. He was slowly massaging her shoulders, finding that it still had tensions.

"Maybe we should have gotten another hour for you? Hm?"

"Nah. I liked it okay. I just worry about everyone is all."

"I know you do but they would tell us if something is wrong but for now we need to act like newlyweds."

"Aren't we newlyweds?" She turned to him and arched her eyebrow.

"Yes and that is the main point. We are and we are in our honeymoon so for now put all of that behind us. Ally, you take in too much and frankly sometimes it becomes too much and sometimes you need to take care of yourself too. When will you not stop taking care of everyone else and take care of yourself?"

"Why? You do a good job taking care of me?" She smiled at him. "I know what you mean but at times I just can't stop. I'm human you know?" He nodded. She turned around and placed her legs around his waist. "I know. I just wanted to put my head down on your chest okay?" He nodded. "Do you think me weak?"

"What? No! You are incredibly strong, Ally. You're beautiful, kind, smart, and sweet. You're a caring person. It is why I love you so much."

"But do you think it could get annoying?" Her voice so low that he barely heard it. He traced his fingers on her back.

"No. I will be honest with you okay?" He tipped her head so she could look at him. "If I did not know you I would probably but you're you and I'm me. Any other person I would be a jerk to but you are my wife and the one I love so no I do not think you are annoying. I find your traits endearing actually."

"You do?"

"Yes. Aside from Wilson, you're my moral compass and frankly I like you better. You're hotter." They kissed for a few minutes before parting. Snuggling together and allowing the water to relax them. House looked down and found that Cameron fell asleep. He nudged her and they unplugged the drain. Afterwards, they got into the shower and came out within fifteen minutes. House wore a clean boxer brief before walking to the phone to call the concierge. He asked for laundry services and found that the hotel did do overnight services. He told them there were some delicates and the concierge told them they could wash them and allow it to air dry some but it would not likely fully dry for another day or so. House told them it was okay and was informed that the staff member would come pick up the laundry in an hour to allow the couple to sort their laundry. House came back to see Cameron was wearing a sheer blue lace teddy with a plunging front and criss-cross straps with a daring back as well. He saw her bend over, picking up some dirty clothes and was immediately turned on by the little string the rode up her nether regions. He turned away and felt himself soften.

"This place does overnight services so they are coming to pick it up soon." Before she could protest, he held up his hand. "Don't worry about your…" He looked at her outfit and swallowed. "Delicates. They will air dry it some but he warned me it will not be fully dry. Is that okay?" She nodded before continuing with the task. She placed the delicates in one pile and continued to separate the piles like usual placing them in bags she found in the closet. A knock was heard and House got up from the bed and put on his robe. Cameron handed him the laundry and smiled up to him. He kissed her quickly before taking the bags from her. She stood up from her kneeling position and got on the bed. She felt House behind her as he pulled her from behind. "I know you're tired so just rest. We'll just order some room service okay?" He did not receive a response as he found his wife asleep. He smiled before pulling her closer before falling asleep himself.

Right around five in the evening, they called for room service and just relaxed with the serenity of the environment. The next morning, they received their laundry and folded the dry ones from the damp ones to another part of the luggage. They agreed that since they were bringing souvenirs home, they might as well get another large luggage since they were set to go shopping the next few days. For now, they settled in the bus for the trip back to Paris. They had approximately four more days before they were due back to work.

Tyler was asleep when his phone rang, alerting him of his notification. He looked at the clock to find out it was half passed seven. He quickly answered it and walked out of the bedroom he was allotted to by his cousin, Rachel. Right next to his room, Lizzie slept peacefully. He sat on the couch and listened to the other person speak.

"Tyler, you there?" It was David Silverman.

"Yes. What's up?"

"There have been some developments. The forest rangers called the department because what had happened was tied to the case."

"What happened exactly?" His curiosity was scaring him but at the same time he wondered if it was what he thought it was.

"Your parents' cabin? It was burnt to the ground. They found a body that looked like a woman's body. It is possible it was your mother's."

"How do they know it might be my mom's?"

"Because your neighbors saw her leave your house a few weeks ago and never return and one of them heard that she was going up to the cabin." For a few minutes, the shock hindered Tyler from speaking or focusing. He did not know how to respond to something so traumatic and so tragic. Despite her faults, this was his mother and if she was truly gone then he did not know how to feel. For the longest time, he had been so mad at her but now he did not know how to feel because he realized it was a moot point. She was gone and there was no longer a way to fix things with her. He realized that there was no way to fix things to begin with the way things occurred for many years now. He was sad it had to come this way but scared that he was relieved. He did not know if this was how he should feel. He did not know if this was right. He was so confused and so lost. All he knew was that his mom was dead. "Tyler? Are you there?"

"Yea. I'm here."

"I'm sorry, man. I know things have been rough for you given everything but I just wanted you to know."

"Okay. If you need me, just call me okay? I need to figure out what happens next because it looks like they are cleaning house."

"Are we next?"

"I do not know. But for safety purposes, lay low okay?"

"Okay." The call ended and Tyler broke down. He heard footsteps and saw the other three occupants in the house. He turned around and saw them. He looked away as he wiped his face off with the sleeve of his sweatshirt. Rachel walked over and gave him a hug. "You heard?" She nodded.

"I'm sorry, Ty." She urged Lizzie to come nearer and she hugged them both. "I'm so sorry this had to happen. I know they were your parents."

"Are you relieved, Rach?"

"What…why would you say that? Of course not. She was family and despite how much I bore anger to what happened, I could never wish this upon anyone… even my enemies and especially my own kin." He nodded. "Take your time while Jimmy and I make some food okay?" He nodded.

"Ty, I'm really sorry. Guy to guy, if you need to talk I'm here okay?" Tyler nodded and it was Wilson's cue to walk away. The couple worked together keeping their minds on the task on hand as they allowed the two siblings to be. After breakfast was finished cooking, they called the two to eat while they ate in silence.

"We need to call some family." Tyler told the group while he looked at his lap.

"Not right now, Ty. Right now, you grieve." Rachel reached over to pat his hand. "I know you need time so I'll call some in a few hours after I call Ally later today." Tyler nodded. Rachel looked over at Lizzie and found that she was despondent. She picked up her plate as well as Wilson's. Wilson grabbed it from her and gave her head a kiss. He began washing their dishes as she walked back to her bedroom and sat down on the bed. It was then that tears flowed freely from her eyes and she lied down and wrapped her arms around herself. She cried for what was and what could have been for Helen Cummings was her aunt and she was part of her family.

Hal Cummings was lying down on the bed. His cellmate was pulled away earlier and he had been alone for over an hour. He scratched his beer belly followed by his head. His receding hairline barely contained his brownish hair with grey outlines showing some signs of age. He contemplated over his life and knew that he made some poor decisions and some were just bad timing as he called it. He could never feel remorse for something that was not his fault. He turned his head to see men coming into this cell and barricading his exit. He did not know what was to come but hoped that these four men would not cause his demise. One of the men, the burlier one, walked over to Hal and punched him in the face followed by his gut. Hal realized then that it was presumptuous to think his previous thought as he felt every pain inflicted by him by these four men. There were no other sounds coming from the cell block as the only thing that was heard was sounds of bone crushing.

A/N: How did I do? I know it is short but I meant to make it so because I wanted to add suspense to the story. Thanks for reading, reviewing, fav/alert, and giving me kudos. The support meant so much to me. As you can see from the title, it is almost the end of this first part of this story. I would say less than 5 chapters left before I hit "complete" and move next to the sequel.
