Aftershocks (Abandoned Me Pt. 16 / ??)

Disclaimer: Still playing...

Pairing: House/Cuddy and Wilson/Cameron (eventually)

A/N: Now you get a little Wilson, a little Cameron and some Huddy too.

Swinging the door open, Wilson was a little surprised to see Cameron outside it, but stepped aside to allow her entrance. He watched, with a slight smile as she stormed in, pulling off her jacket to reveal her scrubs and watching as she tossed the item onto the armchair before she collapsed boneless-ly onto the couch, obviously pouting.

“Hello Alison, nice to see you too…” He said lightly as he pushed the door shut and it clicked closed.

The tone was so much like his normal self that Cameron looked up her eyes wide, and then she stammered, struggling to speak. “Oh James… I’m sorry.” She stood again. “I shouldn’t have come here… Not with this.”

Days Like This (Abandoned Me Pt. 13/??)

Disclaimer: Not mine. Just playing. NAH!!

Pairing: House/Cuddy and Cameron/Wilson (eventually)

AN: Very short little chapter... I should update with another shortly. This just worked as it's own little scene. Don't hate Cameron - she's actually trying to think of everyone.  The song Cuddy is singing to is Days Like This by Van Morrison

With sunlight streaming into her office, her CD player filling it with music even the piles of paperwork that had accumulated could do nothing to bring her down off the cloud she was floating on from the weekend with House – not to mention the fact that she’d definitely put out for every time that Greg had counted and enjoyed it thoroughly. She’d managed to pull some strings with the certification board and had House’s recertification exam scheduled for that morning. More surprisingly, other than a little grumbling – he’d actually sounded excited and had promised to call when he was through.

You Like Me Too (Abandoned Me Pt. 11/??)

Disclaimer: Still don't own them. Only playing.

Pairing: Cuddy/House and Wilson/Cameron (eventually)

Rating: PG-13

Spoiler: S4 Finale

AN: Well, well, well... Whoever predicted Cuddy was going to give in soon. You were right. Now - I cut it off where I cut it off because the next chapter will go to Huddy smut land if I let it.

Squinting her eyes shut, and hanging onto House tighter, Cuddy laughed out loud as he took another corner at high speed, and leaned the bike down until it almost touched pavement, swearing to herself that she’d never get on it again (which was a lie – she liked riding behind him too much) and to kill him later (which was also a lie – the most she’d do was injure him a little). She felt the cycle decelerate and picked her head up a little, daring to look around and see where he’d brought her. It seemed to be a park, nothing too special, though even through her helmet she could hear the sounds of feet hammering in the grass, and children laughing.

AN: And back to the Huddy.

A Serious Misstep (Abandoned Me Pt. 9/??)

Disclaimer: Not mine.

Pairing: House/Cuddy and Cameron/Wilson eventually

Rating: PG - 13 (eventually R/NC-17)

AN: We've skipped forward a few weeks. :) We'll be back to Cuddy and House next time. Right now it's time to stir the pot a little.

It was a good sign and Cameron knew it.

She’d convinced him to come out for coffee with her, instead of their now almost ritualized lunch every second day. It was progress – every little thing was progress. After the funeral, she’d started talking to him – not expecting any response. She brought the latest hospital gossip, news about his patients, ER stories. Even a few ‘duckling’ stories, smirking somewhat proudly that instead of going to Foreman, they’d come to her since their confidence in Foreman’s diagnosis was even less than normal on their latest case.

Shacking Up! (Abandoned Me Pt. 8/??)

Disclaimer: Don't own em. Just playin'

Pairing: House/Cuddy and Wilson/Cameron eventually (not soon though)

Rating: PG - 13 (R/NC-17 eventually)

AN: Not as pleased with this one - but it needed to get out there as it moves the plot along.

“This is so me…” House commented as he stepped inside his apartment, with only his small backpack.

“You could at least get out of my way, House.” Cuddy grumbled from behind him, pulling her own suitcase, her laptop bag over one shoulder and two bags of groceries clutched in her arms.

You Likey Me (Abandoned Me Pt 7/??)

Disclaimer: Still don't own em...

Pairing: House/Cuddy and eventually Cameron/Wilson (but not for a long while)

Rating: PG-13 for now (eventually R/NC-17)

AN: As promised. :) I like this one.

A soft sigh escaped Cuddy’s lips as she stepped into the relative sanctuary of her office. In reality she wanted to curl up with a cup of tea at home and just not think any longer – of course, her guilt wouldn’t allow her to do that. Shaking her head, a sound from the far side of her office, drew her attention and broke the illusion of sanctuary. “HOUSE…”

Funeral for a Friend? (Abandoned Me Pt 6/??)

Disclaimer: Don't own House.

Pairing: House/Cuddy and eventually Wilson/Cameron (not for a while though)

Spoilers: S4 Finale

AN: I found this really hard to write. Hopefully it compares with the other chapters - you'll have to let me know.

It didn’t seem real. Or maybe she just wished it wasn’t.

She hadn’t known Amber well, neither had any of the other ducklings – current or former. To them she’d just been one of House’s potential fellows – no more or less interesting than any of the others. The only person of their number, who’d truly gotten to know Amber, was now standing alone, looking shattered.
He didn’t stand with her family, who looked staid and cold, gazing towards the coffin, yet just slightly over it. Occasionally they sent a disapproving glance towards Wilson, but mostly he just didn’t seem to exist for them.
He also didn’t stand with them. Those who had known, but not really known Amber. She was among them, standing in the front of the small troop from the Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital. They didn’t talk amongst themselves, even though they stood shoulder to shoulder. ‘Safety in numbers…’ She thought with a slight shake of her head – since she had a feeling of almost being antelope on the plains of Africa, standing across from a hungry pride of lions (which were the Volakis’).
