Adam let's the phone ring for a while
"You know if you don't pick up the phone she will keep calling" Fiona says
"Ugh" Adam sighs and grabs the phone

"Hi mom" he says
"How come I had to hear from Drew that you're on a date? What are you hiding Adam?" She questions loudly
"I'm not hiding anything mom" he complains
"So why didn't you tell me?" She asks
"Because it was kind of a last minute thing" he explains
"You should've told me Adam" Audra says with a stern tone
"I AM AN ADULT, I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING!" Adam yells

Adam immediately regrets yelling but his emotions had been all over the place today. He really just didn't want to deal with his mother's over protective ways at the moment. He knew she worried about him. Everything she's ever done that he found overbearing he knew was for his own good. However after moving out he thought she would back off a little. That was not the case. She called everyday to make sure he would eat enough, or to remind him to do his laundry. She continued to be very involved in his life. If he was going to start seeing Fiona again he knew she'd find out, how soon was the only question.

"Mom I'm sorry I didn't mean to yell" he explains
"We will talk tomorrow" she quickly responds and hangs up on Adam. He put the phone back on the nightstand.

He knew he hurt his mother's feelings but he knew if he explained that it was Fiona that he was with she would go crazy. He wasn't ready to deal with that yet.

"She's upset because you didn't tell her you were having dinner with someone?" Fiona asks
"You remember how she is. She's overly protective. I know she means well but I'm grown. I don't need her stepping in between us right now" Adam responds
"She hates me?" Fiona questions
"She doesn't hate you. She's just going to worry, I went through a lot after we broke up that's all" Adam assures her
"Adam, I will do whatever it takes to get back in her good graces" Fiona says as they both fall asleep.

-mmmmmmm-

Adam wakes up pretty early. He throws on some basketball shorts and goes right to the washroom. After washing up he heads for the kitchen. Adam then starts on breakfast. He loved cooking for Fiona, he enjoyed watching her taste foods that were new to her. He liked the fact that his family recipes were foods that she was unfamiliar with. This morning he decides to make huevos con chorizo. He intentionally left the bedroom door open so that the smell of breakfast would wake her up.
As he's adding the meat into the pan there's a knock at the door. He didn't expect company but quickly walked to the door and opened it.
"

Shit" is all that he could say when he saw who was at his door.
"Adam I do not care how old you are you will not use that language around me!" Audra says with a stern tone
"I'm sorry I just didn't expect you, especially not this early in the morning" he explains
"Well you were up early enough to make breakfast so I assume I'm not too early" Audra replies as she walks in to the apartment.
"Mom, this is just a really bad time" he says to his mother
"Why?" She questions
"Um, I still... kinda have ... company" Adam answers
"You're date spent the night?" She asks
"Yeah" he replies without meeting her eyes.

Adam walks over to the stove and attends to the breakfast he was cooking 'please don't wake up' he thinks to himself.
Right at that moment Fiona comes walking in to the kitchen wrapped in the bed sheet
"something smells good" Fiona says as she looks up to see the horrified look on Adam's face
"This was your date!" Audra yells
"Oh my god, Mrs. Torres I'm so sorry, let me go put on some clothes" Fiona manages to choke out while hurrying back in to the bedroom and closing the door.
"This explains everything. The change in your behavior is because of her. You never hide things from me Adam, and she spent the night." Audra accuses
"Please mom, we just missed each other. Don't hate her please" Adam begs
"I can't even talk to you right now. However... I DO WANT TO TALK TO HER!" Audra yells
"Please, do not mess this up for me" Adam says very seriously as he looks his mother right in the eyes
"Do you remember what happened three years ago?" She asks
"Yes I do, and it won't happen again" he replies

Fiona walks back in to the kitchen wearing her dress from last night.
"I want to have a talk with you Fiona, but I don't want my son to be present. Do you have a moment to step outside with me?" Audra questions
"Yes of course" Fiona replies. Fiona looks over at Adam with a puzzled face.
"I'm making us breakfast Fi, when you're done talking please come back inside to eat.. please" he requests
"I will" she smiles.

Fiona and Audra walk out of the apartment.
"I will keep this short" Audra pauses "I do not dislike you. I liked seeing my son happy with you" she says with tears in her eyes.
Fiona is floored. This is not what she expected to hear from his mother. She always assumed Adam's mother didn't particularly like her.

"When you two broke up it shattered Adam. He wouldn't leave his room when he wasn't working or at school. His temper got out of control. He continued to lash out at everyone. Then after the surguries he started these martial arts classes. All he wanted to do was fight, he was angry all of the time Fiona. Then he left my house to get away from ME" she confesses
"I don't think he left to get away from you" Fiona says
"Yes he did, I know I was suffocating him but I was so scared for him, if it wasn't for Eli and Clare I don't know where Adam would be right now... Fiona, please do not hurt my son again" she cries.
Fiona felt terrible, she suffered from the breakup too but it seemed like Adam took it worse. This broke her heart, and to see his mother crying over it intensified the pain.
"I never intended to hurt him, but I promise you. I promise I will do everything in my power to make sure he never hurts again Mrs. Torres. He's my prince." Fiona says while tears well up in her eyes.
Audra recognizes Fiona's sincerity and leans over and hugs her.
"I missed having you around Fi" Audra confesses.
"I missed you too" Fiona smiles.
"Now go before your breakfast gets cold" Audra demands
