"I told you that something like this would happen! We should never have let her join the force!" Emily slowly blinked her eyes open and saw her parents standing by her bed looking almost as bad as she assumed she looked herself.
"We didn't know something like this was going to happen Pam...our baby girl is alive, can't we just focus on that and save the 'I told you so' lectures for when she's not lying in a hospital bed, please honey." Emily's dad whispers to his red-faced wife. Pam Fields had spent the majority of the plane ride crying and that didn't stop when she saw her baby girl lying in the hospital bed.
"I'm sorry...it's just that between you being shipped off and her running the streets trying to catch murders and drug thugs…" Hot tears quickly began to fall down her face once again, "I just want for my family to be safe...does this look like safe to you Wayne?!" Pam whispers shouted through her tears.
"I'm fine mom…" Emily said weakly while trying to move herself up into a seating position.
"Oh honey...you shouldn't be moving, let me help." Emily's mom quickly ran to her side and lifted her up slightly. "I was so worried about you sweetie...don't you ever do that to me again!" Emily's mom mock shouted at her daughter once she was in a sitting position.
"I'm okay mom...hi dad," Emily looked passed her mom and smiled weakly at her dad.
"Hi, sweetheart…" Wayne Fields made his way over to his daughter and gently ran his hand over his daughter's hair.
"For the record mom, I don't chase drug thugs...not all the time anyway," Emily smirked at her crying mom, who rolled her eyes and let out a knowing chuckle at her daughter.
"Whatever it is you do, you know I don't like it," Pam said while wiping away her tears and kissing Emily on the forehead.
"When did you guys get here?" Emily asked while rubbing the sleep out of her eyes.
"A few hours ago, we managed to catch an early flight and then Hanna picked us up at the airport and brought us straight here, you were out for the count when we got here so we just decided not to disturb you," Wayne explained while pulling a chair over to his daughter's bed.
"You guys didn't have to come...I'm fine really," Emily said while smiling at her parents.
"I can assure you that she is not fine." A familiar voice came from the doorway, Emily's eyes quickly shot up and saw Toby standing the doorway with his arm in a sling and a smirk on his face.
"Shut it, Cavanaugh…" Emily joked with her friend as he made his way over to her.
"It's nice to see you again Mrs. Fields, Mr. Fields." Toby extended his good hand out to Mr. Fields and then gently hugged Mrs. Fields.
"It's good to see you, Toby, I'm glad that you are okay…" Pam said while rubbing the man's back.
"Me too…" Emily smiled at her partner.
"You're an idiot Emily...you're in this bed because of me," Toby said while putting his hand on Emily's good shoulder and giving it a squeeze.
"Don't be stupid Toby, you would have done the same for me in a heartbeat, I'll be back on my feet soon enough, I'm not the one with a kid on the way and a really scary girlfriend…" Emily joked making the older man smile at her.
"I owe you...I will always owe you for this." Toby said while tearing up.
"A few beers and a large pizza when I'm out of here will do." Emily joked, receiving an eye roll from her mother and a chuckle from her dad and partner.
"That doesn't sound like a healthy diet at all…" Dr. DiLaurentis said from the doorway while frowning at Emily.
"Of course you would say that…" Emily said sarcastically.
"Emily Fields! Did I raise you to speak to people like that!" Emily's mom scolded her, making Toby and Wayne laugh under their breath.
"I'm sorry mom...this is Dr. DiLaurentis, she's the one who saved my life," Emily said softly while Alison walked over to the smiling woman who quickly engulfed her in a hug. This made Alison extremely uncomfortable and it really showed on her face.
"Mom please let go of my doctor…" Emily's mom slowly pulled away from the stunned doctor and smiled shyly.
"I'm sorry, where are my manners." Emily's mom apologized to the young doctor.
"It's quite okay Mrs. Fields, I just wasn't expecting it." Alison nervously ran her hands down her lab coat.
"Please call me Pam, anyone who saved my daughter's life earned the right to call me Pam." Pam smiled brightly at the blonde doctor.
"If she gets Pam, I better start getting Emily!" Emily shouted from her bed, making her mom and Dr. DiLaurentis turn to face her.
"If you don't mind I'll stick to Mrs. Fields." Alison smiled at Emily's mom one more time before turning to face Emily fully. "I was just coming in to check in on you Ms. Fields before I head home." Dr. DiLaurentis said with a straight face, even though inside she was smiling like an idiot after seeing how Emily interacts with her family. This type of family interaction Alison never got to experience, her mother was always too busy at the hospital and her dad was too busy with the nurses at the hospital.
"Is she going to be okay doctor?" Emily's dad asked before Emily had a chance to talk to Dr. DiLaurentis herself.
"Everything seems to be in order, I just need to give her an examination. Would everyone mind leaving the room for some privacy?" She smiled at Emily's dad, who gently nodded at her request.
"We'll be right outside sweetheart." He said before leaning down to kiss her forehead and guiding his wife out of the room.
"I've got to head anyway Em, I'll be back in tomorrow to see you okay." Toby smiled at her brightly before turning to face Dr. DiLaurentis. "Take care of her...please." Alison nodded in reply and watched as he left the room.
"I thought that you were waiting until the morning to give me my examination…" Emily questioned with a crooked eyebrow.
"I thought that you could use a minute to yourself, I'm sorry if I overstepped by sending them away, I can assure you th-"
"Chill doc, you made a good call." Emily smiled at the reddening doctor.
"I thought you weren't expecting your parents until tomorrow, I was half expecting your blonde friend to be here instead." Dr. DiLaurentis said while looking over Emily's chart, then heading over to her right arm.
"They got an earlier flight, how was the rest of your day?" Emily asked while sinking into her bed, feeling the power of sleep start to come over her again.
"I promise I'll tell you all about it in the morning, you need to rest." Dr. DiLaurentis said while giving Emily 20mg of morphine as she spoke.
"You've got to stop l drugging me while I speak…" Emily said softly while she fought with her eyes to stay open.
"When you are properly rested, I promise to have a full-length conversation with you, without having to give you morphine. How does that sound?" Alison asked while smiling at the high girl.
"You got it hot stuf-" Emily was out for the count and all Alison could do was laugh to herself and blush at her new nickname.
"Good night...Emily" She said softly before walking out of the younger girl's room. She was met straight away by Emily's worried parents.
"Is she okay?" Emily's mom asked, with fresh tears forming in her eyes.
"She will be, she needs her rest so I gave her some medicine that will allow her too. I'll be back in the morning for rounds and hopefully, her test results will be back and I'll be able to give you more information." Alison said with a smile, before excusing herself and heading towards the locker room.
Alison wasn't one for clubbing, but when Jenna mentioned it earlier in the week she had eventually given into the idea. Now here she was, in a pretty dress that hung to her curves perfectly, with a drink in hand, music blasting, yet all she could think of was how Emily was doing, if she was stable, if she needed more morphine, if her parents were annoying her...all these thoughts ran through Alison's head all night, she tried drinking to get rid of them but that didn't work, that only made her want to go and see the younger girl.
She had never felt this way before, it didn't make sense to her, sure she had had attractive patients in the past and she had definitely had some that were a pain in her ass like Emily but she had never had one that made her think, like really think. Since she found out that Elliot was cheating, she hadn't even looked at another person like that, let alone a patient or a woman. But Emily...she was different, it was almost like she saw the person who Alison was behind all the wall she put up to keep everyone out, it was something that Alison had never experienced before and she really liked it. Now she just had to decide how she was going to deal with this.
