Alison's POV

"Mom?!" I exclaimed, pushing myself away from a topless and confused Emily. "What are you doing here?!" I ask, while handing Emily the discarded shirt from the floor.

"I came to see how my daughter was holding up with this messy divorce, but it seems that you are doing quite alright for yourself dear." My mother smiled through gritted teeth at Emily, who was now fully clothed and an alarming shade of red.

"A phone call would have done the job mother, you didn't have to come all this way." I replied, before starting what would be the first of many staredowns my mother and I would find ourselves in no doubtedly.

"If I had of done that, I would have never had the chance to meet your new friend." Mother broke my gaze and zoned in on Emily, who had remained unusually quiet throughout the whole encounter. "Jessica DiLaurentis, Alison's mother...and you are dear?" She stuck her hand out, waiting patiently for Emily to respond.

"Emily Fields...nice to meet you Mrs-" My mother interrupted.

"It's Doctor actually…" My mother smirked smugly.

"My mistake, it's nice to meet you Dr. DiLaurentis." Emily corrected herself as she shook my mother's hand. "If you'll excuse me, I should be heading home and I'm sure you'd like to spend some time with your mother Ali…" Emily began to stand, only slightly wincing, most likely from missing a dose of her pain medication, I'll have to make a note to tell her off about that when my mother has gone back to god knows where.

"I'll walk you out." I stare blankly as my mother takes Emily's seat. I guide the brunette swiftly to the door, my hand never leaving the small of her back. "I am really sorry about this, I had no idea she was coming." I whisper as we reach the front door.

"I figured just as much…" Emily mumbled while opening the door and taking a step outside, creating a barrier between us and my mother's prying eyes.

"I'll make this up to you when she's gone okay." I whisper sweetly, truly feeling bad for what happened a few moments ago.

"I know you will...I'll call you tomorrow." Emily leans in, capturing my lips with her own for a short moment, before smoothly pulling away and disappearing down the driveway.

"So that's what you've been doing lately! She barely looks old enough to drink!" My head fell against the side of the door, as soon as I heard the telltale sign of my mother's heels approach from behind.

"Who I spend my time with is none of your business mother, what are you even doing here anyway? Father run off then another intern again?" I spit back at her. The relationship between my mother and I had always been a strained one, ever since I expressed an interest in Plastic Surgery she could hardly even look at me with shooting daggers.

"I believe the last time we had a conversation like this was when you started dating that man!" My mother shouted back. She had a point, I knew that she did. But I would never tell her that, not in a million years.

"Emily is different, she is an amazing person and yes she's younger than me...but none of that matters. I'm happy Mother, why is that never enough for you?!" I huffed, storming into the kitchen to pour myself a much needed drink of the strongest alcoholic beverage I had on hand.

"Alison of course your happiness matters to me, but you have to look at this practically. You're not a lesbian Alison! What would people think if she they say you floricking around with that woman!" My mother continued her shouting as I took a shot of vodka and lined up another one.

"Mother Emily isn't the first woman I've been with and you know that...and I don't give a shit about what any of your stuck up friends think of me and my relationship with her! You're the only person in this family who cares about that stuff, you even shipped your own son away to rehab and told your stupid country club friends that he went to build houses in Haiti!" I shouted louder this time, there is only so much of this woman that I can take and my patience was quickly wearing thin.

"That's enough Alison! I did what I had to for your brother, I gave you both the life that I never had and how do you both repay me?! One becomes a good for nothing drug addict and the other is a below average doctor who spends her time sleeping with her patients!" My mother screamed as our argument reached its peak.

"Emily isn't-"

"I saw your handy work on her shoulder, I taught you that stitch Alison. So is that how you pick up your bed buddies these days? Save their life and make them fall in love with the beautiful hero doctor?" My Mother spoke with venom laced in her voice.

"I've never had anything but a professional relationship with my patients and screw you for thinking otherwise!" I spat back her before downing another shot of the harsh liquid.

"So she wasn't your patient? You didn't save her life?" My mother questioned calmly, knowing fine rightly that she had me pinned up against the wall. "You're an idiot Alison! How many times do I have to tell you to keep things professional! If the board were to find out about-"

"You can't tell them! Technically she isn't my patient anymore, she requested another doctor." I tried my best to explain, knowing that my mother wouldn't think twice about turning me in.

"I'm obviously not going to tell anyone! How do you think it would make me look? I work so hard trying to make a name for myself, and now my name has been passed on to you. How long does she have until she's officially no longer a patient of the hospital?" My mother asked, taking my by surprise for a change.

"She has a few months of physical therapy left and she had her final surgical checkup in a month." I provide my mother with the correct information, hoping that she has the answers I am currently looking for.

"No one can know about this, if you want a relationship with this woman-"

"I do, I really do." I interrupted.

"Okay, then if it was me I'd keep things under wraps until at least a month after her last physical therapy session. A lot can happen in a month, people will just assume that you ran into each other and things worked out." My mother explained, for once I was actually thankful to have my mother here.

"I didn't mean to fall for her, I actually hated her when we first met...but I couldn't hide my feelings away any longer." I explained, as a stray tear fell from my eye.

"She means a lot to you, doesn't she?" All I could do was nod in reply, afraid that if I were to speak I'd end up weeping like a baby. "I'm not gonna pretend that I understand what you two are doing, you could be risking your entire career for this girl...but I am willing to keep quiet about it when I meet with the board tomorrow. But don't take my silence as me saying that I condone or accept what it is you are doing, not that you need my acceptance at this age." My mother finally took as seat on one of the breakfast bar stools and poured herself a glass of vodka.

"I hope that one day you'll be able to accept us, even at this age knowing that your mother accepts you is an amazing thing." I smiled as I reached over the bar to touch her hand gently.

"I do accept you Alison, gay straight...whatever. I love you, I just don't believe that this relationship is what's best for you."

"I do, and I'm ready to prove you wrong." I raised my glass into the air.

"Me too." My mother raised her glass and met it with mine.

Emily's POV

My heart was still racing when I arrived home, Alison and I had gotten so close to going all the way and then her mother, of all people had to catch us and interrupt things. This is definitely not the way that I wanted to meet her mother, me topless on top of her daughter, definitely not ideal.

"There's my favourite lesbian, how was your romantic night in with Doctor hottie?" Hanna questioned as soon as I stepped into the house.

"Leave her be babe, I'm sure she doesn't want to share all the kinky details." Caleb added, making my face start to warm once again.

"It was fine…" I squeaked, making my voice reach a pitch that it had never reached before.

"Woah there squeakers, what's up? You're usually all giddy and overwhelmed by love when you come home." Hanna moved from her place cuddled in beside Caleb to meet me at the archway of the living room.

"Something happened…" I mumbled as my tanned skin turned a worrisome shade of red.

"Okay Caleb can you give us a minute, we need girl talk!" Hanna demanded and like always Caleb automatically obeyed.

"Spill!" Hanna demanded as she pulled me down to sit on the couch beside her, completely forgetting about my injuries, making me wince in pain. "Oops, Sorry." Hanna added as I shot daggers at her. Reluctantly I began to explain what had happened to me over the last few hours. Of course Hanna thought it was hilarious and even nearly choked on her wine when I told who it was that walked in one us. By the time I was finished telling her everything I felt so mentally drained and needed some space to just relax, so I headed to bed early. I was about to nod off when I felt my phone buzz underneath my pillow, moaning loudly I rolled over and grabbed my phone. Blinking numerous times as my eyes adjusted to the bright light of my phone, I was finally able to make out the text on the screen.

'Ali: I'm really sorry about tonight, I had no idea she was coming to town xx'

'Me: I figured just as much, don't worry about it. We'll have plenty of date nights when she's gone back home xx'

'Ali: You're one in a million, you know that right? xx'

'Me: If I'm one in a million then you must be one in a billion...I'll talk to you tomorrow Ali, Goodnight xxx'

'Ali: Goodnight Em xxx'

I spent the rest of the night tossing and turning, trying to get the thoughts of what almost happened out of my head, but I had no such luck. I almost had sex with Alison DiLaurentis...how did I get so lucky.
