Enjoy a new POV and please review! Thank so much to everyone who has posted reviews, you are awesome. The other girls will come into play eventually,
Pam
Everyday Pam waited and waited for someone from the military to come to her front door and tell her that Emily had died in combat, one of her biggest fears come true. The one thing that she looked forward to was the times that she and Alison went to lunch and a movie; they even went shopping together sometimes. While Alison was gone on her book tour it made it even harder to wait. The last she had heard from Alison was that her trip to New York had been extended for a few weeks.
She's been trying to keep herself busy since her husband was deployed to Iran and he wasn't able to write or call as much as he'd like. She had gotten her job back at the police station, which at least made her feel like she was helping someone. It had been a long day dealing with a family desperately searching for their son who had run away the day before. They had camped out most of the day in the precinct telling her how he had become addicted to drugs and how he changed into someone they don't even know anymore. He was dating this older girl and they think that's who he ran away with.
As Pam came home to her big lonely house she was grateful that at least her daughter hadn't started taken drugs. She may have ran away and disappeared for a few months but she eventually received a letter from Emily explain that she needed to leave and figure things out after the whole dollhouse incident. She was so proud of her daughter; she'd become one of the best combat medics and even had her own team she led.
She fixed herself a late diner and sat in the living room watching some mindless TV show when her phone rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Ali, "Hey sweetie, how's New York?"
She heard Alison take a shaky deep breath. "Pam I have something to tell you, I'm not in New York, I'm in Texas…" She can hear the sobs as Alison speaks.
"What's going on Ali? Are… are you okay? Are you in trouble?" She asks in a motherly tone, she can't stand that Alison is so upset.
"It's….it's Em; she's in ICU at Ft. Sam Houston's Brooke Army Medical Center." Alison tells her trying to keep her voice calm. "They…found her beaten pretty badly and they had to remove her spleen…"
Pam gasped, "H-how is she?" She barely manages to get it out.
"I've only been here for 2 days and she is in a medically induced coma." Alison takes a deep breath and continues. "Dr. Young says that she is a fighter,"
Pam giggled a bit, "She always has been."
"He thinks that by the end of next week, they can see about backing off the medicine." Alison tells her reassuringly.
Pam gathers her thoughts, "I have some vacation time, I will get some things together and leave as soon as I can tomorrow."
"I will buy your ticket," Pam tries to interrupt but she is cut off, "I won't take NO for answer Pam you are like a mother to me, please let me do this for you."
"Alright." she agrees slightly reluctantly.
"You can stay with me too, while you are here. I rented a 2 bed, 2 bath house. It has plenty of space and I could use the company." Alison tells her with a bit of a pleadingly edge.
Pam couldn't tell her no, not after they had become so close. "I would love to Ali!" She says her voice lightening up.
"Thank you, I love you." Alison says with some relief filling her voice.
"I love you too Alison, I will see you tomorrow." Pam says emotion in her voice.
"I will pick you up at the airport." Alison tells her before they hang up.
Pam decided she should try to get some sleep because tomorrow was going to be along day!
The next morning Pam called the precinct and told them she needed to take some personal time and they told her to take all the time she needed. She had a little vacation time saved so she would use it as she and Wayne couldn't afford to live on just his income.
She receives a text from Alison, while packing a few things in one of Wayne's duffel bags.
Your flight is at noon today at gate 3, I will be at the air port at 6pm to pick you up. Love, Ali
She sent a quick reply before heading to the airport,
Look forward to seeing you sweetie.
Love, Momma Pam
When she arrived at the airport to pick up her ticket she was greeted by sweet young lady whose bubbly personality slightly reminded her of Hanna.
"How can I help you today?" She asks with a huge grin.
"Um, yes my name is Pam Fields and I am here to pick up a ticket to Texas." She told her as her fingers flew over the keyboard in front of her.
"Ah, here it is!" She says with a smile. "You have a first class seat and there is a 2 hour layover in North Carolina!" She tells Pam as she hands her, her ticket. "Have a nice day and a nice flight!"
"Thank you and have a nice day as well." She told her with a grin.
Pam made her way to gate 3 as the plane would soon board, she had never flown in first class before, she wasn't sure how she could repay Alison for her kindness.
The flight was really nice, she was able to sit back, relax, and even take a nap. During her layover she was able to grab something to eat and read a few magazines.
After the second flight Pam was glad to be back on the ground. As she made her way to the front of the airport she was greeted by a flash of blonde hair as Alison grabbed her in a huge hug. "I'm so glad you're here, how was your flight?" She asks as she hands her a colorful bouquet of flowers.
"You didn't have to." Pam says happily and smelling the flowers. "The flight was really nice, they gave me champagne." She said with a small giggle. "I don't know how to repay you for the ticket and everything!" She says getting a bit emotional.
"Don't even worry about it; you know I would do anything for you and Em." Alison says tearing up a bit.
"I know you would sweetheart." Pam says pulling Alison into another hug.
"Did you want to go get something to eat?" Alison asks pulling back and rubbing her arms comfortingly. Pam nods her head in agreement.
"We can't see Em till tomorrow unfortunately." She tells Pam sadly as she leads her to the car.
"I figured." She said understandingly.
Alison took Pam to a nice restaurant and they sat for a few hours and caught up. Alison told her about the movie deal and how she was able to stay and take care of Emily for as long as she needs or wants her too.
After diner Alison drives Pam to the house she rented. "It's lovely Alison; I can help you make rent payments while…"
Alison stops her with a smile. "No, no you don't need to do that ok. I have a stipend for working on the movie and my mom left me plenty of money. So please don't worry, it's taken care of."
"Thank you so much Alison, you have such a beautiful heart," Alison starts to say something but Pam cuts her of, "Whether you believe it or not, I see it and so does Em." She says with sincere smile.
"We should get some sleep, you can have the master and I'll take the room down here." Alison tells her grabbing Pam's bag.
"Alison" she calls to her before she heads upstairs with her bag, "I'll take the room down here, I won't take no for an answer." She says with a glint in her eyes leaving no room for arguments.
"Do you need anything?" Alison asks with a slight yawn.
"I don't think so." She says taking the bag from Alison. "Goodnight Ali, love you." She says pulling her into her arms.
"Night, love you too." She says enjoying the hug from Pam, she wasn't used to this much positive attention but she was learning to enjoy it.
