Not too much of a wait this time guys, remember as always to leave me a review and tell me what you thought it really motivates me to continue. I'd also like to thank my awesome beta reader freefallinman for getting this back to as possible as possible.

Alison's POV

"You deserve better than her Emily. You are an amazing girl! Anyone would be happy to call you theirs…trust me when I say that." I said while smiling like an idiot. I get ready to stand up again and start my morning check up, when out of nowhere Emily starts to lean in. I've thought about this moment for weeks now but it's completely unprofessional, right? Then why am I leaning in as well?

"Doctor DiLaurentis...you're vibrating." Emily whispered just as our lips are about to touch, making me jump back and almost fall to the floor.

"I'm so sorry…" I said while looking down at my vibrating pager attached to my hip. "Shit," I mumble to myself.

"What's wrong?" Emily asked from her chair, making my head snap up. I had completely forgotten that the woman that I was inches away from kissing was sitting within earshot of me.

"There's a massive trauma coming into the ER, I've got to go. I'll have a nurse come and do your check up okay." I said quickly before running out of the room and away from what was about to happen in there.

"What we got?!" I shout while tying my hair up into a ponytail and putting whatever was about to happen with Emily behind me...for now anyway.

Emily's POV

What the hell just happened?! She's your doctor Emily! She's not just some girl you met at the bar, that has a thing for girls in uniform! I've ruined everything! All those weeks of getting to know each other destroyed! All because I acted on my stupid feelings for the woman who saved my life, more than once!

"Good morning sunshine!" I snap out of my Alison nightmare to see Hanna skipping into my room, grapes and magazines in hand.

"Morning…" I grumbled before turning to looking out my window. From here I had a perfect view of the ambulance bay and I swear I caught a glimpse of beautiful blonde hair for a split second before Hanna stood in front of me, blocking my view.

"Are you in pain? Do I need to get Betty? Or the dreaded Doctor DiLaurentis…" Hanna said while making gagging noises after saying Alison's name. I know that she doesn't really feel this way about Alison, she's actually extremely grateful for everything she has done. She just doesn't want to drop this act that she's perfected over the past 2 and a half months.

"No I'm fine...Paige stopped by. I don't even know how she found out that I was in the hospital." I said while running my hand through my hair.

"Have I told you how much I dislike that woman? What did she want? Trying to worm her way back into your life again?" Hanna asked while pulling a chair over to my side for herself.

"Something like that... I sent her packing by the way. I didn't think I could, but then I realised that I'm not in love with her anymore. I don't think I have been for a few months now." I say while thinking about what happened or nearly happened after Paige left.

"Does that have anything to do with a certain blonde doctor that I love to hate?" Hanna asks while popping a few grapes into her mouth.

"What?! Are you crazy? She's my doctor Hanna!" I snap while taking a handful of grapes from Hanna.

"Em...I got here around half an hour ago... I saw what happened between you two." Hanna said softly while placing her hand on top of mine.

"Oh my god!" I said while burying my head in my hands.

"Having feelings for someone is natural Emily, it's not your fault that you fell for someone who just so happens to be your ice queen of a doctor." Hanna said while rubbing my back.

"Hanna, she values her job more than anything! She is never going to feel the same way, she won't even let me call her by her first name most days! She's hardly going to let me stick my tongue down her throat!" I mumbled into my hands.

"Em, from where I stood she wanted it just as much as you...why don't you just wait and talk to her before jumping to the worse case scenario." Hanna lifted my head up to meet her graze.

"I'm scared Hanna…" I whispered before she pulled me in for a well needed hug.

Alison's POV

I haven't had a minute to breathe since I got down here. It's been one ambulance after the other and to make things worse I've been stuck working with Mona on every case.

"Good work today DiLaurentis, you too Vanderwall. You two make quite the pair. Now go clean up then head home. You both deserve it." Our boss Doctor Warren said to us before leaving the quiet ER.

"I never thought that I'd hear anyone say that, what about you DiLaurentis?" Mona said while following me out towards the locker room.

"This day is just full of first times for me…" I mumbled while trying to walk faster to avoid awkward small talk.

"Okay what is wrong with you? These past two months you have been oddly bearable to be around, but now you're back to regular old Ali!" Mona snapped once we entered the locker room.

"You don't know anything about me Mona, so stop acting like you do okay!" I shouted while taking off my scrubs and reaching for my blouse from my meeting earlier today.

"Why are you so hell bent on hating me Alison?! All I ever do is try with you and every time it gets me nowhere!" Mona shouted while pulling her scrubs off.

"Now is not the right moment Mona, I need to get out of here." I said, while moving to get out of the locker room.

"No you don't get to walk away this time Alison! What is your problem?!" Mona shouted and grabbed my arm to stop me.

"I almost kissed my patient!" I accidentally shouted, making Mona's mouth fall open in shock.

"I was not expecting that…" Mona finally let go of me and took a seat on the nearby bench.

"My thoughts exactly…I've never messed up this much Mona and I took it out on you all day. You didn't deserve that...I'm sorry." I said for the first time since I've known Mona.

"I wasn't expecting that either…" She said while half laughing. "Do you want to talk about the patient thing?" She asked while I walked over to take a seat next to her.

"I...I don't know what came over me." I said before letting my head fall into my hands.

"But nothing happened, right?" Mona asked.

"No...but I think I wanted it too." I admitted.

"Do you have feelings for him?" She asked, making me laugh slightly.

"More like her...and I'm not sure." I said softly.

"Ohhh...let me guess your GSW patient? I've seen her and I can definitely understand why." She said while bumping into me playfully.

"I can't have feelings for her, I'm her doctor for Christ sake! What do I do?" I ask.

"I can't tell you what to do Ali...all I can do is keep what I know to myself." She said while smiling brightly at me.

"You're not too bad Mona, you know that…" I said while leaning my head on her shoulder.

"Took you long enough to realize!" She joked.

My heart felt like it was going to explode out of my chest as I walked the corridor that lead to Emily's room. I had thought about going home and then showing up tomorrow as if nothing had even happened, but I couldn't bring myself to wait another day without talking to her about this.

"Knock, Knock...anyone home?" I asked quietly while walking to Emily's room only to find her sleeping on the same chair I left her in earlier. Not wanting to wake her from her sleep, I walked over to her bed and lifted the blanket and made my way over to her.

"Mom…" Emily stirred in her sleep, as I placed the blanket over her. Slowly she blinked the sleep away from her and met my gaze.

"Sorry to disappoint, but it's just me instead." I said softly while brushing her hair off of her face gently.

"Trust me I'm not disappointed...I tried to wait up for you, in the end I thought you weren't coming…" She said while letting out a small and extremely cute yawn.

"I'm sorry for running out earlier. It was a crazy day down in the ER." I smiled.

"Don't apologize, your job can be crazy at times...trust me I get it. When I'm working a case I could be stuck at work for days on end."

"We...we should get your too bed. Lying there can't be good for your shoulder." I said while helping her out of the chair. Slowly we both make our way over to her bed.

"Are you going to talk about earlier...or forget it ever happened?" Emily asked once she was sitting comfortably in bed. I quietly take a seat beside her on the bed.

"Do you want to talk about it?" I ask.

"Do you?" She asked while reaching to touch my hand gently.

"Emily…" I whispered, as her grip on my hand tightened.

"Do you want me to stop?" She asked quietly, while I turned my head away from her.

"No...that's the problem. We can't do this, I'm still your doctor." I said regrettably.

"Alison...Alison look at me." Emily said while reaching out and grabbing my chin to turn me to face her. "I really like you Alison...you leaving today made me fully realize that…" Emily admitted while gently stroking my cheek with the back of her hand.

"I-I…" Was all I was able to choke out.

"Please say something Alison…"

"I really like you too Emily…" Before I could continue Emily pulls me in for an earth shattering kiss that I happily melted into.

"Wait...wait. There is some stuff I haven't told you yet Emily... stuff that I need to tell you about before we start anything…" I said breathlessly.

"I'm listening…"

"My life is a mess. I'm currently in the middle of a extremely messy divorce. My ex-husband well soon to be ex-husband cheated on me and I never thought that I would be able to trust anyone in that way...but with you, I feel like I can trust again." I admit to her, making her mouth fall open in shock.

"I'm so sorry that happened to you! But I promise that you can trust me. I'm not going to let you down like that ass hat of a soon to be ex-husband." Emily said while pulling me in for a hug as I felt the tears well up in my eyes.

"I know that you won't Emily...but I still don't think that I can do this. If we got caught then I would lose my job, my whole career that I have worked so hard to achieve. I'm not saying never, I'm just asking for you to wait. Wait until you're not my patient anymore...please?" I asked while pulling away from the hug.

"I would never ask you to choose between me or your job…so I can wait. You Alison DiLaurentis are definitely worth the wait…on one condition." She said while surprisingly smiling at me. I definitely didn't think that she was going to react this way.

"I'm listening." I said softly.

"Kiss me…" She leaned in and whispered against my lips.

"With pleasure…" I whispered back before closing the gap between us. I was about to deepen the kiss, when Emily pushed me back softly.

"Goodnight Doctor DiLaurentis...I look forward to my morning check up." She said while smiling.

"Goodnight Ms. Fields...sleep well." I said before leaving the room and the most amazing understanding woman behind.
