AN: Alrighty. For this chapter, I have an ANNOUNCEMENT!

A little lady by the FF name AbandonedAngel85 came to me and offered her services to help me with this fic after I put up the first chapter. She asked if I could help her write, and wanted to write a chapter… So, a couple weeks later this is our chapter. It's all her except for middle name on..that's the only part… Needless to say, I think she's a pretty good writer… So, when she puts a fic of her own up, remember to read it!

Here is AbandonedAngel85's chapter:

Maternity:

Remy had had an exhausting day. Having spent most of the day at the library researching a paper, she wanted nothing more than to spend a quiet evening with her girlfriend.

As soon as Remy walked into Allison's apartment she got a text, 'I'm going to be late tonight...sorry.' Allison had been texting her in her free time that day, the fact that she would be late meant the babies must have taken a turn for the worse.

Remy frowned. She knew Allison would be in a rotten mood when she got home, so she wanted to do something nice for her. She walked to the kitchen and decided the least she could do was make her a home-cooked meal. Remy wasn't a great cook, but anything was better than cafeteria food.

Remy looked in the pantry and the refrigerator, not finding much besides leftover takeout. She decided she would go to the supermarket the next day and pick up some groceries. She did manage to find stuff for spaghetti.

She decided to continue researching her paper while she waited for Allison.

A couple of hours later she woke up to the sound of her cell phone beeping. "Damn..." She had dozed off and missed Allison's call, she left her a text "Just left...see you soon." Remy quickly cleared her books and laptop from the counter and started on dinner.

She was stirring the sauce when she heard the door open and Allison walk in.

"Hey Babe! I'm in the kitchen… Didn't expect you home till much later? Did you solve the case already?"

Remy turned around to see Allison standing in kitchen doorway her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

"Sweetheart what's wrong?" Remy immediately left the pan and hugged her, the older woman immediately broke down sobbing, after several moments she managed to mention between sobs "He died... he died."

"Who?" Remy pulled back to look at Allison wiping her tears with her hand, willing her to talk.

"The boy, the treatment didn't work, House told me to go tell the women, I couldn't tell them! I just froze! Wilson finally told them... Just seeing them fall apart; it broke my heart! I sat through the differential but didn't hear a word anyone said. I left as soon as I could."

"I'm so sorry sweetheart" Remy hugged her. Allison rested her head on Remy's shoulder they just stood there for a while.

After a few minutes they smelt the sauce burning. Remy immediately went to salvage what was left of it and Allison checked on the spaghetti which was dangerously close to boiling over.

"Thanks for this" Allison gave her girlfriend a smile.

"Figured a home cooked meal could do us good for a change, I guess we will have to make do with the slightly burnt sauce." Remy smirked.

Remy served the food while Allison got the wine. They moved to the living room and sat on the floor with their backs resting on the couch, facing the fire that Remy had lit earlier.

After finishing up and clearing the dishes they went and sat on the couch occasionally sipping from their wine glasses and looking at the fire entranced by the flames. Only the occasional pop and crackle from the burning wood breaking the silence.

They soon moved to a more comfortable position with Remy lying on her back, her head resting on the arm of the couch and Allison lying on top of her with her head resting on Remy's shoulder, grateful for the fact that she had such a wonderful girlfriend to go home to after such an exhausting day.

"What are you going to do?" Remy asked while absentmindedly stroking the shorter woman's hair.

Allison lifted her head to look into Remy's eyes understanding what she meant. Remy knew her well enough to know that she was having doubts about this job.

Not sure about the look or the lack of an answer Remy prompts her gently "Al...?" gently caressing her cheek.

Allison kissed the palm of Remy's hand and sat up, making her girlfriend sit up too. Allison looked at Remy blankly, "I will get over it. I am going to suck it up and do my job. I still have an obligation to the other kids, I can't let them down."

Remy looked at her girlfriend surprised at her response "Really?" She had seen Allison at her weakest, yet she always found a way to put up with any situation that presented itself, the strength that this woman had was not news to Remy. Nevertheless she couldn't help but be surprised each time.

"Yes, Remy Beauregard. Really." Allison stood up. She stretched and tossed her brown mane back from in front of her eyes, "Don't look so surprised. This job is challenging me in a lot of ways. Do I like all the challenges? No. Do I accept them? Yes because as you, my lady, said...this job puts the spark in me that you don't."

Remy accepted that answer and stood up as well, "I don't need to be jealous of this job do I? You're not gonna like...cheat on me with it, are you?"

"Haha! The ever funny Remy jokes!" Allison says as she clears the glasses.

"Hey girl!...I have to come off the middle-naming me somehow...usually I either make a funny or make you moan...either way, I need to get a noise from you.."

Allison shakes her head and Remy started laughing.. Then, Allison took her girlfriend's hand and led her to the bedroom.

AN: Alrighty! Hope you enjoyed it! Let us both know!
