*two days later*

"You know he's gonna find out sooner or later, Em." Loker affectionately tucked a stray hair behind her ear. They were at her house catching up on the latest Supernatural episode.

"I know, but what if he gets mad?"

"If he finds out from anyone but you, he'll definitely be mad."

As if on cue, they heard the rumbling of the garage door.

They jumped out of each others arms. "Crap, he's home early." Emily started to panic. "I thought you said he was staying to work on that drug dealer case!"

"That's what he told me. Just calm down, it'll be okay. Maybe now is the time to tell him." Loker kissed her forehead. "You can do this."

"You're right, we need to tell him." Emily took deep breaths, and they moved to the kitchen just as Cal entered the house.

"Emily, I'm h-" He stopped in his tracks when he saw Loker awkwardly leaning up against his stove. "Oi, what are you doing here?"

Loker cleared his throat to speak, but Emily jumped in. "Eli and I are dating." She blurted out.

There was a moment of heavy silence, and Emily was desperately trying to read her father's face. She saw genuine surprise, followed by a tiny flicker of anger.

"Say something," She bit her lip nervously.

Cal set his keys down, and walked up to Loker, getting in his face. "Are you shagging my daughter?" He accused.

"What? No!" Loker stammered. "We haven't," He blushed. "We haven't gone that far."

"Good. Because I swear to God, if you get her pregnant, I will chop your bloody dick off." With that statement, Lightman stormed off to his study, leaving the flustered pair standing in the wake of his anger.

Emily looked at Loker with wide eyes. It was as if he could read her mind.

"Don't worry sweetheart, he hasn't scared me away."

She brightened at the use of her pet name. "It certainly could have been worse." She anxiously shifted her feet. "I think you should go now. I should talk to him alone."

"Of course. I'll see you at work tomorrow."

"Hopefully," Emily was half joking as she said goodbye to Loker.

Taking a breath for courage, she wandered down the hall and knocked on the door to her father's study. "Dad, can I come in?

Aaand who doesn't love a good cliffhanger? JK, sorry guys. I got a full-time job, that's why I haven't been on as much. I gotta get to sleep, tomorrow's gonna come earlier than I want it to. I'll try to update more tomorrow. I love you all!
