Fetal Position

Cameron looked at Foreman and Chase as they started walking to Emma's room to prep her for the MRI, "Hey, you know what? I can take care of this… you guys go get a coffee or something…"

"You sure?" Chase asked in that way that made him seem as if he actually cared, which was a possibility, but that was only because he like the woman before him.

"Yeah… it's fine. I really don't mind." She gestured for them to go on ahead.

Had the known the real reason it was fine… they wouldn't have let her go alone. But they didn't so here she was… in the MRI lab with her girlfriend, that had once again snuck into the hospital… but this time it was to actually learn. Cameron was going to teach her just how to use the machines when she got a chance…

Remy was wearing some pink nursing scrubs that Cameron lifted from a closet… she knew it was wrong, but it was too easy not to do it…

As they sat down and started the machine up, Cameron more so just showing her girlfriend the specifics, since she'd already used one, just not this particular one… She watched the screens before her as she spoke, "There's no way House just let's this slide… he's gotta be planning something."

"You really think he's planning something? What the hell could he be planning?" Remy turned to her girlfriend.

"Oh come on!" Cameron turned to look at Remy as well, "You think he just stumbled into that closet? No. He knew we were there… and he wanted us to know that he knew…"

Remy turned back to the MRI, "Yeah…"

Cameron took her hand, "Don't worry… He never saw your face… You were too quick. He did tell me that…" She leaned in close, "So… if and when you get to be his duckling… it won't be because you're my girlfriend…"

Remy nodded, "Good."

Cameron leaned in and gave her girlfriend a quick kiss before they finished up the MRI, "Love you."

"Love you too." Remy smirked.

"You want to paralyze Emma Sloan's baby?" Cuddy asked in that tone she uses when she finds House's ideas ridiculous.

House rolled his eyes, "Let me guess. Cameron."

"Cameron and Chase both had their concerns." She looked over at him.

He shook his head, "No, Cameron had concerns. Chase just agreed with her because he's waiting on the moment that Cameron goes straight. Which…" He laughed sarcastically, he chuckled even, "Based on what I saw in the janitor's closet a couple nights ago when sneaky hot brunette girlfriend snuck in to have the hottest of lesbian sex, I don't think that's going to happen anytime to. Speaking of hot brunettes… was there one in there with them?"

Cuddy was taken aback, "Wait… Cameron's a lesbian?"

"Cuddy! Where have you been? Yes! It's the greatest gift that mankind could have ever received!"

"… And she's having sex in janitor's closets here?" She raised her brows.

"No, the janitor's closet at the local high school." He pumped his fist and said, "Go, Tigercats… Do you have one of those camera-phones? Because I have a MySpace account…" He gave her a look.

Cuddy rolled her eyes, "I will deal with Cameron after I deal with you."

"Oh, come on. Let's gossip some more. I'm sure she's into bondage…"

~0~0~0~0~0~

Cuddy was sitting at her desk when Cameron walked in, "Dr. Cameron, the MRI results back?"

Cameron nodded and came forward, "The fetus' heart is structurally sound. The problem's with the bladder. It's four times normal size."

Cuddy knit her brows in concern, "Let me see." She gestured for the film, which Cameron gave her and sat down across from her, crossing her legs.

"The bladder's so engorged it's taking up the whole torso, squeezing all the other organs. There's no room for the lungs to develop."

Cuddy stared up at the film, "The baby has a lower urinary tract obstruction. We can fix that by inserting a shunt. I'll give Emma the news." She nodded and started putting her desk in some sort of order before she left.

"Are you… taking over the case?" Cameron asked, uncrossing her legs.

"House won't care. He has his diagnosis." She said before looking down and back up to start the conversation she really meant to have with the woman before her, "Dr. Cameron…leading Chase on and flaunting the fact that you're sleeping with a woman can only end in one of two ways…"

"House told you?" Cameron seemed more concerned as she stood up and began pacing.

Cuddy gave her a look, "Chase will pursue you and then someone is going to get hurt…I'm telling you this for your own good."

The younger doctor knit her brows and turned directly to the Dean, "I assume you will tell Chase for his own good?"

"Chase isn't the one that will get hurt." She said as if it were definite.

Cameron crossed her arms and steps closer, "Yes…he is. I have tried deflecting him. I have told him I'm not interested. I have told him I'm involved on numerous occasions, so finally, on Valentine's Day when he asked if we could start sleeping together, I told him I was gay."

The curly haired doctor looked at her, "Dr. Cameron…" she obviously doesn't believe her… or House.

"I'm gay, Dr. Cuddy…for some reason, a lot of people don't believe me until they see me with my lover, but I assure you…I'm quite gay and have been forever… We've been together for 9 years!" She opened her mouth then covered it as realized her mistake, "Please don't tell House that piece of information. He thinks… something else." She rolled her eyes at herself.

Cuddy looked damn impressed with this information and seemed suddenly convinced, "Dr. Cameron…" she smirked then saw Cameron's worry, "I won't say a thing." She gave her a genuine look before taking the file from her and walking out of her office.

Cameron walked into the room that held the hyperbaric chamber. She walked over, knocked on the window and picked up the phone, "My social life is my social life." She said.

House grinned wickedly, "Couldn't agree more!" he waggled his brows, "What goes on in the janitor's closet is nobody's business except—"

"Why did you tell her? Why are you just flaunting my personal matters around now? I trusted you." Cameron had cut him off to let him know how much it was really bothering her.

House looked over to her seriously, "It's time people know the real you…the real you is better than your boring, straight, straight-laced counter part you've developed for the hospital…and I'm annoyed with Chase, way more than usual…"

Cameron gave him a glare, "You can't do this just because you want to know what she looks like. You can't have it your way this time… there's too much that we've worked for for you to go and House it up, okay! So please… let us do what we need to do before…" She stopped talking and looked down.

"Before what?"

Cameron shook her head, "Just leave it alone!" She dropped the phone, turned and started to leave, but heard him knocking on the window. She picked the phone back up, "What?"

"Pizza? Tonight?" He asked softly.

Cameron bit her lip, "House I can't… I told Chase that I would get a drink with him… after he explicitly stated about four times that it would be between friends… I felt bad, I'm sorry!"

Remy walked into Emma's room, after getting a text from Cameron asking her to check her vitals and everything. She was on her way out when Emma stopped her, "Emma: Hey, could you hand me that?" She asked indicating the camera, "I'm keeping a visual memory book of this entire, surreal process and this is the first time I'm seeing you actually in my room…"

Remy picked it up, "Yeah. Sure." She handed it over.

"Thanks."

Remy looked down at the pile of pictures on the meal tray table. She smiled when she saw her girlfriend, "When did you take this one?"

Emma looked at it, "Oh. She did the second bladder tap. You should keep it."

Remy looked up at her, "No! I couldn't…"

Emma grinned, "Oh come on… I saw the way you looked at her while you guys were getting me set up for that MRI…" She grinned wider when Remy looked down, "And I saw the way she looked at you too… There's something there."

Remy swallowed a nervous lump before walking closer and talking softly, "Yeah… we uh… we're in love… have been for almost ten years." She smiled.

Emma's grin didn't fall at this news, it only grew wider, "And I get the feeling that the people you work with don't know…"

"No see… I'm studying to be a doctor—I technically am a doctor, but… I haven't gotten he position I want, so until then… here I work with her permission to learn from the best of the best…"

Emma nodded, "Well… your secret's safe with me." She picked the picture up and handed it to her.

Remy gave a soft, loving smile as she looked at it. She didn't hear the click of Emma's camera as she took a picture. She simply looked back up a moment later and gave her cheers with the picture, "Thanks."

As Cuddy was trying to frantically come up with something—anything else, Cameron's heart went out to her. She had to help. "Acute fatty liver of pregnancy would have the same symptoms."

"Thank you." Cuddy gave her a gracious look.

House looked over to her, "Brown-noser." She rolled her eyes… Just because she told Chase she'd go get a drink with him instead of going to House's for Monster Trucks and pizza…

"Viral hepatitis. HELLP syndrome."

"Oh look. Sticking up for your girlfriend. Who says chivalry's dead?" House leaned back in his chair. Cameron gave him a glare. And Foreman looked a bit confused, "Be patient. She's going through all of us. She'll get that jungle fever eventually."

Cameron's glare at House only increased before she gave Foreman a look telling him that House was just being his ridiculous self… as always.

Cuddy is frustrated that they've managed to get off topic again, "Dr. Cameron is obviously not going through any of you considering…" She gave them all a gesture rather than saying, 'she's gay' before she continued, "So, this can probably wait until after you've biopsied Emma's liver, right?"

~0~0~0~0~0~

After all was said and done, Allison and Remy walked into Remy's apartment and sat on the couch. Allison took the picture that Emma had given her and showed it to her, "Look at you… she got you to glow." She smiled as she snuggled into her, "What were you looking at."

Remy grinned and pulled from her girlfriend for a split second as she grabbed the picture of her, "I was looking at this…."

Allison bit her lip and looked back up to Remy, "I made you glow?"

"Always, honey… Always."
