AN: Sorry this one came a little later in the day! I'll write tomorrow's first thing! I was watching all the episodes and the plotting stuff for season three—which I have to say, if I have any opinion is going to be pretty badass! I'm going to watch some…probably not all by any means…of season four tomorrow…I'm hoping to get the rest of this story plotted in the next two weeks…then all I have to do is write. See, there's only four more weeks of school after this, so in a month…shit's gonna get real y'all!...I'm thinking—hoping more so—that I will be able to put a chapter up a day until I'm doen with the story..starting in four or five weeks…finals week is in there too. Anyways…here you are!
All In
Cameron was getting ready for the party at the hospital that night. Remy was…being Remy.
"Baby!...You can't gooooooooo!" She whined and stomped around.
"But I have tooooooooooooo." Allison rolled her eyes after she made fun of her girlfriend.
"Nuh uh! You're too damn sexy for me to not be on your arm! Men are gonna hit on you—Chase! Chase, that rat bastard's gonna hit on you, and where will I be?" Remy's face went completely blank and her tone turned angry, "Here." She knit her brows, "In my jammies…doing nothing." Then she looked off to the side and joked, "Well, I won't be doing nothing, I'll probably ride my hand raw thinking of you because you're so fucking sexy!" She got louder and louder as her last sentence progressed.
Allison turned around to her, "You've gotten really vulgar when you compliment me…"
"What are you talking about? I'm classy as hell."
"I agree with that, considering hell isn't supposed to be classy in the least."
Remy couldn't help the slight smirk or the twinkle in her eye as that comment came from Allison. She flared her nostrils a bit in amusement, "Baby… I'm the classiest woman you know."
"You just told me you were going to ride your hand raw…" Allison raised her brows, "That is not classy." She crossed her arms.
Remy pursed her lips and slumped in defeat, "You've got me there…BUT! If you let me come with you I will be so damn classy! I'll be a different person! OH! Yes! A different person! I can be your friend that wants to marry a doctor that you lost a bet to and you promised that you'd bring to this thing! It could be fun! Please Baby!"
Allison turned around to her laughing a little, "No Honey…you are not coming tonight. Aside from the fact that you haven't slept in two days, we won't be able to keep our hands off each other, because when we get all fancy, we never do…" She had walked over to Remy and put her hands on her shoulders, "And I can't risk you yet… I can't."
Remy slumped and leaned in for a peck on the lips, "Fine." She huffed. After Allison finished touching up her hair, she started speaking again, "But I'm going to that party. I'm sneaking in, and I am going to stalk your ass and when Chase starts to make his move that's when I'll make my presence known and you will just walk away from him, probably in mid sentence and we will go down some hallway together and it will be great and you will love it and I will seduce your sexy ass…" Remy took a big breath, "All the way home." She let out a quick breath, "Hhhoo, I think I might have just spoken a run-on."
"You think?" Allison cocked her brow. Then she considered what Remy had actually said, "You're really gonna do that?"
Remy nodded seriously, "Oh yeah…I'm really going to do that. By the time I come out to play, you're not gonna be able to resist me." She waggled her brows.
"That does sound kind of fun…." She said shyly to the younger doctor.
Remy smirked, "I win!" She walked the distance between herself and Allison hugged her tight and kissed cheek. "I love you." She said as she took one of Allison's hands and wrapped the other around her back, then started dancing slowly with her.
"I love you too." She said, "But I have to go now…You…come stalk my ass when you're done getting ready."
Remy had gotten ready in the thinnest white button up she had at Allison's and a pair of black pants…she also wore Allison's favorite lingerie…the red lacy ones that turned her on to no end, and then wore an undone bowtie…She would have worn a dress, but all of hers were at her place, and this way she could wear her fedora and hide a little easier from Allison. She got to the hospital and was in the midst of sneaking in when her phone went off. She checked it and found out that Allison had a case.
She decided it was time to see everyone for real. So…she snuck up to the fourth floor and found the office…it really was like a fish tank, Allison wasn't lying. She hid on the other side of the nurse's station—where no nurses were. She saw all of them standing and House just staring at her, marker in hand. Then she looked at the back of Cameron and couldn't help the sigh.
~0~
"This case it twelve years old…" Cameron said as she picked up an older file.
"Yup." House said as he faced the white board.
"And this case is Cuddy's…" Foreman added.
"She assigned it to me…" House lied.
Chase wasn't completely buying it, "She agrees with you that this is something more than gastroenteritis?"
"She wouldn't have assigned it to me if she didn't, would she?" House turned around…all he saw was Cameron in a red dress, "…" He let out. He stared a little longer.
Allison blushed from his response, but it wasn't just his response… She could feel another pair of eyes on her. She wanted to turn and find Remy, but couldn't at the moment. She knew she'd have to wait it out.
"What were we talking about?"
~0~
Remy watched the differential pan out. She could hear snippets too. Everything was quiet enough except for occasional beeping. She squinted so she could read the white board then stole a pad and pen to write them down. She saw them start to file out and prayed that they were all going to the elevators so she didn't have to move.
She saw Chase and Foreman leave and House turn back to the board and stare. Then she looked at Allison. Allison always knew exactly where she was…she knew that she wasn't actually going to be able to stalk her…Allison would have known the minute she walked into the door. As soon as Allison walked out putting on her lab coat, their eyes connected. Allison silently gestured to the stairwell and Remy took the pad and pencil and stealthily darted after her.
As soon as she entered she found Allison pacing, "What's wrong?" she asked.
"I have never seen him like this…I'm scared it's only going to get worse…"
"What is he thinking?" Remy asked.
"Erdheim-Chester."
Remy raised her brows then thought about it before debunking it, "Why?"
"He had a patient with the same symptoms twelve years ago. She was a 73-year-old woman… Never got to do an autopsy."
Remy crossed her arms, "Well, I mean, it does make sense…I mean, with what I caught of the differential…I can see it."
Allison shook her head, "You're out for my job, Hadley." She smirked when Remy looked at her wide-eyed, "I won't give it up that easily…and tonight I have the advantage…I'm in my fancy red dress."
"I know..I saw House's look…just about walked in there and punched him in the face…" Remy said, her jealously obvious.
Allison smirked and put her hands on her girlfriend's shoulders, "Calm down…he's not the one you have to worry about tonight… I don't think anyone is. Chase was flirting with an entire flock of nurses…" She offered.
Remy looked down and touched Allison's collarbone. She trailed her finger down to the top of her dress and tugged slightly at it, letting it flick back into place a couple times, "I'm sorry you got a case…" She looked into the deep blue eyes of her lover.
"I'm sorry I did too…" Allison glanced down Remy's form, "Really sorry…God damn it, you're wearing your seduction panties…" She slumped forward a little bit.
Remy grinned, "Yes I am." She sobered, "Go do what you need to do..I'll hide out in here or various other place…go exploring… I'll be around when you need me, 'kay?"
Allison nodded and kissed her twice before walking off to tell the parents what they thought it might be.
~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~0~
Cameron found her girlfriend hiding right where she left her. She knew that Remy had probably already been all over the hospital, got bored and came back. She didn't know how many differentials she had been through at this point in the night, she just knew that she needed to steal away to see her.
She slumped down next to Remy who was drawing on one of her little pieces of paper…it's how she thought, cleared her head sometimes.
"We lost him for 8 minutes…" Cameron sighed.
Remy turned to look at her.
"We still have no idea." She shook her head and shrugged defeatedly. "And House… I'm scared because I just… have again, never seen him like this.."
Remy hugged her tight for comfort, but moved the conversation on because there was a child's life a stake, "I've been thinking…tuberous sclerosis?" She looked at her girlfriend.
Cameron raised her brows as she stared at her girlfriend. "A genetic disorder?" She thought about it a split second more before getting up, "A genetic disorder…" She walked to the door of the stairwell, "You're really out for my job, Baby…" She gave her a hard look, then winked at her, "I'll let you know as soon as I can…"
"I know…I'll still be here." She said and waved her off.
Allison started at her a moment longer, then walked back over and kissed her before really walking back to House's office.
Cameron brought tuberous sclerosis up multiple times and multiple times House liked the idea…he liked it so much he asked for a test on it for on of the three tests left they could perform with the leftover collected tissue.
After all was said and done…and it did turn out to be Erdheim-Chester all along, Cameron said her goodbyes to everyone and walked to the stairwell. Remy was curled into the fetal position, asleep. Allison clicked over to her in her fancy shoes and knelt over her. She leaned down and kissed her to wake her up.
"Have mercy." Remy said in a very Jesse Katsopolis kind of way. Allison raised her eyes and Remy gave her confused look…not because of Allison's reaction but because she had actually said it, "I watched Full House earlier today on my break… Becky woke Uncle Jesse up that way and that's what he said…I didn't think I would personally ever say it…" She explained…then she looked at her questioningly, "Is Ian okay?"
Allison nodded with an amused grin, "Yeah he's fine…let's go home." She said as she helped Remy up and they began to walk down the stairs.
"What did he have?" Remy asked as she put her stolen pad of paper and pen in her breast pocket and wrapped her arm around her girlfriend.
"Erdheim-Chester" Allison said.
"But the test…" Remy looked at Allison.
"Lied." Allison said, "Everyone and everything lies. That's what you learn from this job." Allison said as she pulled Remy along, "Did you drive?"
"Yeah…did you?" Remy asked her.
"No…I knew you were coming." Allison nuzzled her cheek, "Give me your keys. You're dead on your feet." Was the shorter woman's command.
"Only cause your absolutely right." Remy said as she pulled her keys from her pockets. Allison got her in the car and drove them to her apartment…she barely got Remy back out of the care and to her bedroom, but she wasn't about to let Remy sleep in her car.
Allison whispered into her ear as Remy was falling asleep yet again, "You so owe me for dragging your sweet ass up here and not stalking my ass very well tonight…I expect you and your underwear waking me up in a very pleasant way." Allison said.
Remy laughed and nodded, "You got it Dude." She breathed out.
