Author's Note: Well here it is, the final installment. I hope everybody enjoys it. I'd just like to dedicated this to JMAC, who has always wanted Christmas in June. (And for those who haven't read HTH or LAW, read the prologue. If you have read them, you can skip it if you really want to.)

Take Me Away – By Liz

Prologue

When a quarantined child came down with mysterious symptoms, the Diagnostic team was called to the scene. It wasn't easy though, because Cuddy rented them an SUV instead of buying plane tickets. After putting up a fight, the team finally agreed to go on a road trip to Louisiana together, where their patient waited.

Chase was still infatuated with Cameron for the entire trip, but only until he met the lovely Nurse Katie. Meanwhile, Cameron and House finally broke their own barriers and formed a secret relationship with some thanks to a bag of skittles and an SUV that ran out of gas. House was also reunited with a blast from his past, his cousin Ray, a molecular psychiatrist who was called to consult on the case.

With help from Ray, House eventually diagnosed the patient with Morgellons disease. Since it is a very questionable disease, Ray took the child on as a research subject. Ray now practices at Princeton Plainsboro, alongside Dr. Whitner, with thanks to a research grant from Cuddy. Nurse Katie also decided to be transferred to Princeton Plainsboro so she could be with Dr. Chase.

As soon as the team returned to Princeton, Cameron was called to the ICU. Her brother-in-law, Charlie, had recently been in a car accident. He suffered from amnesia, but when he finally regained his memory, Charlie confessed to his wife, Angela, that he was having an affair. Now Angela and Grace, her daughter, (who evidently, isn't really Charlie's daughter) are on their own.

Angela and Charlie weren't the only ones with relationship problems though. House and Cameron tried to keep their relationship a secret for as long as possible, but Wilson and Cuddy soon found out… but only because they too were seeing each other. An agreement was made to keep both relationships secret, but it didn't last for very long. As soon as the hospital found out about the relationship between House and Cameron, all hell broke loose.

House and Cameron began to ignore each other in fear that the other was upset. Wilson and Cuddy started to fight because Cuddy was upset about Wilson's unfaithfulness to her (he had a fling with Ray), and she became even more distressed with the fact that she was also carrying his child (a boy). Katie suggested that Chase was still in love with Cameron, and she was spot on. Ray and Whitner began to argue over the importance of science versus emotion.

In the end, though, life sorted itself out. Cameron finally agreed to move into House's apartment. Cuddy finally looked past Wilson's infidelity and realized that they were meant to be. Katie appreciated the fact that Chase was trying to make her happy, not Cameron, and took him back; they are even going to spend Christmas together in Australia. Ray and Whitner ended on friendly terms, as well, with the agreement to be more mindful of each other's needs.

And now, we find our favorite gang from Princeton Plainsboro Teaching Hospital as they prepare for the holiday season.
