PLEASE enjoy, favorite, follow and REVIEW!

Emily woke up with a grin plastered on her face. She was going to get to see her dad again, finally! Of her two parents, he'd always been the more accepting one. She just had a special bond with him that she'd never had with her mom, even though throughout her life, he had come and gone from where he was stationed.

Plus, he was going to get to meet Ali, which was pretty exciting too, considering that Emily had a strong feeling that Ali was going to be in her life for a while. Although her parents' opinion wouldn't change her own, she sought their acceptance of her girlfriend. She was halfway there already. Her mom had seemed to like Alison by first glance.

"Mm," came Ali's muffled, cute, sleepy voice. "Morning."

"Good morning, beautiful," Emily returned, her happiness clearly showing through her voice.

"Someone sounds very happy today," Ali commented, sounding a little more awake. She grinned and sat up a little to press a kiss to Emily's waiting lips.

"Well, someone is very happy today," Emily answered, chuckling. "I need a shower. Care to join me?"

Alison wiggled her eyebrows. "What insane fool would answer no?" Emily chuckled and stood from the bed, before reaching down and taking Ali's hands. She pulled her up and they navigated their already naked bodies toward the bathroom.

They turned on the hot water and stepped under it. Coating their bodies immediately in heat, the water made their hair stick to their necks. Despite the fact that they were actually in need of a nice, cleansing shower, their lips were on each other in a matter of seconds. Their hands couldn't help but roam over each other's soft skin. Emily lowered her lips to Alison's neck, and the blonde moaned out sexily. "Babe…"

Emily pushed Ali against the wall of the shower and pressed her thigh in between Alison's thighs. Her girlfriend gasped instantly, encouraging Emily to press it further against Ali's core. Her lips were back on Alison's, and their bodies merged into one being.

Their shower lasted a little longer than a normal shower would, but they were both in an even better mood when they stepped out of it. They dried off, clothed themselves, and got ready for the day. Emily could tell that Ali was a little bit nervous for the events that would take place a little later in the day, but Emily was pretty chill about it. She knew that her dad would support her in anything, and she also knew that Alison was amazing and it would be crazy for him to not like her.

They decided to skip their usual boring breakfast and go to the Brew instead for coffee and a light breakfast, even though they were far from sleepy after their shower earlier.

So Emily drove them both to the Brew, where they got some coffee to wake them up. Emily also got a muffin and Alison got a scone. It was a quick breakfast, and then they were going to go see about taking Emily's dad out for a bit.

AAA

Ali wasn't insanely nervous, although she was a little nervous, about meeting Emily's dad. Emily had assured her that he was much cooler than her mom, and since her mom had been surprisingly accepting, her dad should be a breeze. They pulled up in front of Emily's parents' house and got out of the car.

Emily took the lead up to the front door, and pressed the button to ring the doorbell. The door opened to reveal a man who was definitely an army kind of guy. Still, he had a fatherly appearance to him that made him look trustworthy.

"Ah, there's my girl!" he exclaimed, wrapping his arms around Emily. Emily laughed and hugged him back.

"I've missed you, dad!"

"How is Rosewood treating you?" he asked, pulling away and holding her at arm's length.

"Pretty good, I'm at Hollis taking some classes," Emily answered, her cute smile appearing on her face. The small one that made it look like she was trying not to smile too wide, but she was really happy. It made Alison smile. "Dad, this is Alison, my girlfriend."

Emily's dad turned to her, smiling. "Nice to meet you, Alison," he said, extending a hand.

Ali smiled back, shaking his hand. "Same to you, Mr. Fields."

"Please, call me Wayne," he insisted, and Ali smiled, nodding. "So what are we doing today, ladies?"

They decided on lunch at the Grille, and Ali was just really hoping that Paige wasn't working her shift there. In the car, Alison sat in the back so that Emily could sit with her dad. She didn't really mind, though, because Emily and her dad were both very good about keeping her in the conversation.

"How long have you two been together then?" he asked them at one point, as they were getting to the Grille.

"Five weeks now?" Ali answered, honestly not entirely sure, because it'd actually felt more like forever.

"How'd you two meet?" he asked curiously.

"She ran into me in our apartment building. Literally," Emily answered, laughing.

"Uh no, you ran into me," Alison argued teasingly, and they all laughed for a moment. "She lived right across from me for a little while. We live together now."

Their conversation flowed smoothly, and Ali loved that Wayne was always making sure that they were all involved in it at any given moment. At the Grille, Ali was pleased to see that Paige did not seem to be working at the moment. They enjoyed a nice lunch together, and near the end, Ali pulled out her phone.

To Hanna- Pick me up at the Grille please? I'm out with Em and her dad, but I want her to be able to spend some quality time.

A few seconds later, Hanna answered.

From Hanna- You caught me just on time for my lunch break! Be there in a minute, and then we can grab some food and you can come over to the store.

To Hanna- Thanks a bunch, Han!

"Hey babe," Ali said suddenly, hoping that she wasn't interrupting something that she hadn't been listening to, "Hanna is picking me up in a second so that you guys can have some quality time."

"Okay, love you," Emily said, giving her a flirty smile. Ali returned it, before turning to Wayne.

"It was great to meet you," she said, smiling.

"And you, Alison," he returned, nodding. Ali stood up and headed out of the Grille. Just a minute after she left the building, Hanna pulled up in her car. Ali hopped into the passenger seat immediately.

"Hey, thanks so much," Alison thanked, "it hadn't occurred to me that we only had one car when we left."

"Don't worry about it," Hanna insisted, "I need the company at the store anyway."

Alison chuckled as Hanna drove into a drive through window of a fast food place to grab herself a lunch. Once she had received satisfactory food, they headed back to the clothing store that Hanna worked at. They sat in the car while Hanna ate her lunch, because she claimed that the other employees would just bug her if she ate in there. Ali didn't care either way, she just stole bites of the food Hanna had, even though she'd just eaten.

When they went into the store, Hanna's shift was starting up again. As manager, her duties were pretty varied. Apparently that day, she was doing inventory. So she let Ali into the back of the store with her and began to do whatever inventory stuff she had to do. "So how was meeting Em's dad?"

"It was good, he's really nice, and I think that he likes me, so that's good," Ali answered, smiling.

"Have you met her mom?"

"Yesterday," Ali answered.

"How was that?'

Ali shrugged. "Well I met her while wearing a robe right after I'd been laying naked next to Emily, so that was a little awkward. She didn't know who I was, and I didn't know who she was. She was trying to find Emily; she hadn't known that Emily moved in with me."

"Wow. Talk about awkward," Hanna said with a laugh. "Was she nice though?"

"Yeah, she was cooler than I thought she'd be about it," Alison answered, shrugging again.

"Well, good to hear that everything with my favorite ship is going well," Hanna teased. Alison couldn't help but laugh and roll her eyes at that. Honestly, she was really glad to have friends like she did. They may have teased, but they were supportive, and that's what Alison needed. Support.

EEE

"So, Alison seems like a nice girl," Emily's dad commented, raising an eyebrow. They were still at the Grille, because they'd decided to have some dessert and chat time.

Emily blushed when she thought of Ali. "Yeah, she's awesome."

"Are you two really serious?" he asked, a look of concern on his face.

Emily hesitated, and then nodded. "We've had some drama, but it's made us both stronger I guess. We've done the 'I love you' stuff already, and we do live together."

"Well, as long as you're happy, I'm happy," he insisted, smiling.

Emily smiled as well, but then she frowned. "Dad, I don't want you to leave again." Saying it she felt like a little girl whining about her dad leaving. Even though she wasn't little anymore, she still wanted her dad to be here, safe.

"I'm know, baby girl," he said, giving her a sympathetic look. "We'll video chat more, alright? It'll be as if I'm just down the road."

Emily smiled. "That sounds good. I love you, dad."

"I love you, too, sweetie."
