Emily walked in the door after dropping JJ off at her parents place, she had promised that she would be over in an hour or so. Elle jumped out of the car too, saying she wanted to meet her best friend's girl's parents, for some reason Emily felt the need to almost follow them, but JJ promised to not let Elle lie too much. So there Emily was walking back into her mother's huge house, she figured she'd keep it down for fear of Emma actually falling asleep, Jason had said that he didn't know when the girl was sleeping but she had been up all night every night since Alex hurt her. Emily made her way up stairs, and over to Emma's door, slowly opening it she saw Emma curled up on the bed, eyes red and puffy. Emily sighed and walked over to the bed, crawling in next to the younger girl she pulled her to herself and held her close, it wasn't until then that she heard John Mayer playing over the stereo, one of her all time favorites Daughters.
"Hey." Emily whispered.
"Hi." Emma sniffled.
"Hey, shhh, you don't need to cry anymore kid. Big bad Elle, JJ and Emily are here to protect you." Emily smirked, a little surprised when Emma didn't respond. "So, you going to tell me about it?"
"Do you think my mom would be…. Upset at me for being gay?" Emma said very quietly.
"Oh Emma, no. I don't think that at all." Emily wrapped her arms tighter around the younger girl.
"But," Emma started to sob. "she was a politician! A Republican! How could she not be?" Emily chuckled a little bit.
"You know, your mother was one of the first people to ever tell me that I look at JJ differently?"
"What do you mean?" Emma said, looking at Emily slightly, over her shoulder.
"That I wasn't looking at JJ like a friend. She told me to go for what my gut told me to, not my mother." Emily smiled. "Your mother would be more disappointed in you for doubting her love in you." Emily said softly.
"I…" Emma started to cry even harder. "I can't be a good daughter if I'm not what she wanted!"
"Emma, calm down, honey." Emily said rubbing circles on the girl's back. "What started all this?"
"I…"
"Alex." Emily realized why Emma wasn't being herself, Alex had used Emma's weakness against her, like any good politician, immediately Emily was furious. "Emma, your mother loved you so much, more than you could ever imagine, and I know its hard to remember and that she died at a hard time for you Emma, but no matter what she will always love you. No matter if you sleep with a man, or woman, or an Asian or well…she might care if you sleep with something not human." That earned her a laugh and a shove.
"God Emily that's sick." Emma laughed, Emily tightened her grip on the younger girl.
"Glad to have you back Ems." Emily smiled.
"You promise she would've loved me either way?"
"Yes." Emily smiled at her. "come on why don't we go to JJ's for dinner?" Emily stood up, helping Emma up.
"Ok, let me call Sam? I should apologize."
"Right, hey." Emily hugged Emma again. "Don't let Alex get to you ok? She's just a bitch." Emily walked out, shutting the door behind her, as she walked down the hall to her room, Jason grabbed her and pulled her into his room.
"Emily."
"Hi there too, Jason." Emily laughed.
"Sorry, I am really worried about Emma."
"Worry no more, I have saved the day, or will…"
"Emily are you ok?"
"Thinking and really tired."
"Alright, well Andrew is going to be picking me up soon so, I should go."
"Where are you two going?"
"So weird meeting thing he told me about."
"Wear a cup."
"What?" Jason looked at Emily like she was crazy.
"Just do it."
"Alright…"
"Trust me." Jason laughed.
"Ok."
"Now, I'm off to JJ's, if you guys want to join us later. Elle is there too."
"Alright, see you later Emily. Oh and thanks again, Emily."
"Yeah, don't thank me, its part of the job." Emily smirked.
"Ready?" Emma said as Emily walked outta Jason's room.
"Yup, let me grab a coat."
"Ok." Emma smiled, Sam had understood and was glad that Emma was back to her normal self.

When Emma and Emily walked into JJ's house they were meet by Marry running up to them.
"I suggest you turn and leave right now." The little girl said and Emily laughed.
"What happened Marry?"
"That girl, Elle, she's crazy! Plus when she told mom that you went to the bar and got hammered, mom wasn't too happy. Oh Emily? What's hammered?" The girl asked.
"Something you don't need to know about yet." Emily answered and Emma giggled.
"What's sex? Elle said you almost had sex with her."
"Dear god!" Emily said and Emma burst out laughing. Emily stormed into the living room finding Elle sitting there next to JJ and Abby sitting across from them.
"I leave you alone for an hour and what happens! I have a kid asking me about drinking and sex!"
"Told you not to trust me." Elle grinned.
"You got hammered?" JJ asked Emily.
"And almost slept with your roommate! Do you even know her mother's madin name?"
"Oh god…" Emily said her head in her hands and JJ and Elle laughing at her. "Emma take Sam and go hide in the woods for the rest of your life."
"It's looking a hell of a lot better than this right now." Emma chuckled.
"Yeah."
"So Emily, Elle as good in bed as I am?"
"JJ!" Emily squeaked and turned bright red, making everyone including Abby laugh. "Why couldn't I have just driven out here by myself? Oh right I love my girl friend and wanted to know if she wanted to come home for the weekend, being night I asked! What a fool I am." Ken handed Emily a beer.
"Figured you were going to need this."
"I love you."
"Just don't get hammered." He smirked and Emily threw herself against the couch. "Next time I'm coming home alone."
"Sure Emily, but now, I know where you live." Elle said smirking.
