Thanks for all your reviews and of course this is NOT the end. I'd never do that to you, would I? =) Here we go.
Beeeeeeep.
Cameron stood next to the doctors, crying desperatly, the line on the monitor in sight.
Beeeeeeep.
"Dr. Cameron, you have to leave the room," a doctor told her, but she didn't move an inch.
The doctor nodded at two nurses that walked over to Cameron and each one took one of her arms.
"Don't you dare!"
"Cameron you can't be here. It disturbs us."
"Dr. Green, just do your job. I'm your boss, not the other way round," she told the older doctor.
"That's exactly what I'm doing here. You would have done the same thing if it was someone else," he said looking at her. Then he turned his look to the nurses. "Bring her out of here," he told them.
They shoved a struggling Cameron out of the room and closed the door behind her.
Allison sank down the wall on the opposite side of the floor, staring at the door, rocking back and forth like a little child, holding her knees to her chest.
"I can't leave her alone. I can't leave her alone. I…," she repeated again and again mumbling.
Suddenly she felt a comforting hand on her shoulder and stopped mumbling. When she looked up, she saw Cuddy standing next to her.
"I just heard it. I'm sorry," she said in a calm voice. "But it'll be okay. Remy is strong, she's a fighter. Just have a little faith."
"I can't leave her alone," Cameron said again.
"You don't have to. You can stay here. Kutner and Taub are helping out in the ER. We have it all covered."
"No, someone has to call him, but I can't leave her alone," she said, desperatly looking at Cuddy.
"Call who?"
"Her father, someone has to call her dad. He has to know."
Dr. Cuddy just looked down at the blonde woman sitting on the floor in disbelief but soon realized that she meant it.
"I'm going to look up his number and call him. Don't worry about it," she said in a reassuring voice. She laid her hand on her shoulder once more, full of concern, and then left for her office.
"Yeah?"
"Mr. Hadley?"
"Yes, on the phone," a male voice answered.
"Are you Dr. Remy Hadley's father?"
"Yes, I am. What's the matter with her? Is everything okay?" His voice changed from confusion to concern.
"I'm Dr. Lisa Cuddy, Dean of Medicine at Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. Your daughter had a car accident. Dr. Cameron asked me to call you."
There was silence at the other end of the line.
"Mr. Hadley?"
"Is she…is she okay?"
"I…We can't tell yet, Mr. Hadley," she told him honestly in a sad voice.
"I'm on my way," he said and the line went dead the next second.
When Cuddy went back to the ER she saw House standing in the hall, staring at the desperate figure rocking back and forth on the floor, waiting for some good news.
"How is she?"
"Which one?"
"Both," Cuddy answered sighing deeply.
"No news from Thirteen. And Cameron…well you have eyes. She sat there like this when I came here and keeps mumbling something I can't hear."
"Do you think she will get over it if-"
"Don't you dare end this sentence Cuddy. Everything will be okay. Tomorrow by that time she will lay in some bed in the hospital and will already be whining that she want's to go home."
"House, her condition is really bad. That's why they paged me. This might not end well."
"Thirteen has to be okay. Otherwise we will lose Cameron, too. I mean, just look at her."
"Cameron is a strong woman."
"Not when it comes to Thirteen, then she's not," House said sighing.
Suddenly they heard a man screaming in the ER.
"I want to know where my daughter is. RIGHT NOW!"
"Sir, we-"
"No more Sir, I have the right to know where she is."
"It's okay, I'll take him," Cuddy told the nurse.
"Mr. Victor Hadley?"
"Yes, where is she?"
"I'm Dr. Cuddy. Just follow me. You can't go in there though. You have to wait for them to finish."
As Cuddy walked back to the floor, where Remy's exam room was, she pointed at the room that Remy was in.
Victor's eyes filled with tears. He didn't even know how she was. What exactly happened. Why it happened. He couldn't lose her now. They just reunited. He just couldn't lose her. It's bad enough that she got her mother's disease, but he can't lose her even earlier. When he looked away from the room he saw Allison sitting on the floor, obviously in bad psychological shape.
Tears were running down her face and she was still rocking back and forth. There were no sobs. Just silent tears and a few words she seemed to mumble all over again, her lips moving only slightly.
"Who is she?" He asked, pointing at Cameron.
"That's Dr. Allison Cameron, head of the ER," Cuddy told him, watching his reaction. Did he know?
First Victor didn't get it. He was about to ask why the blonde wasn't in there, helping to save his daughter's life. But then he got it. Blonde hair, emerald-green eyes.
"That's her, isn't it?"
"Yes, it is."
So I hope you liked this chapter. Since I don't think I'm going to be able to write tomorrow or even the day after tomorrow, I thought I'd at least give you an update. But now I definitely need my bed since I'm ill :( Great christmas... *sigh*
Merry Christmas to everyone and reviews are wonderful presents :)
