Family Matters

Chapter 4- A (VERY) Short Confrontation

Cece and Jason stayed silent as Mr and Mrs Dilaurentis came into the room, both not looking particularly happy.

"Mom, Dad!" Alison Jumped up, rushing over to hug them. It had been about a year since she'd last seen them and was happy to see all of her family.

"Alison?" They looked at her and swore she saw ferocity and irritation in their eyes. "It's me. I'm okay." She held out her arms, waiting for them to reach out to her and envelope her in a much wanted group hug, but they didn't. "Where have you been?" Mrs.D all but yelled at her causing her to flinch back and instead go stand by Jason's side of Cece's hospital bed.

"I was getting threats and was trying to deal with it. These people were not only threatening me, but also my family and friends. Especially my best friend." She finished reaching for Cece's hand.

"Well, come on. We have to go tell the police what you've done. Sending us all on a wild goose chase was very irresponsible and cruel of you." Mr.D said sharply, still glaring daggers at Cece.

"I'm not going anywhere yet, I want to make sure Cece is alright." Ali said determinedly.

He snorted, "I bet nothing's even wrong with the little home-wrecker." he said smugly looking at her with distaste. "She's been through alot, just leave her be dad. She has never done anything to you to make you treat her like this, so if that's how you're going to be just leave." Jason burst angrily at them.

"You do know you can't be with the girl, don't you Jason darling. We're still married so that makes you related. " she looked elated at telling him this, but he simply raised an eyebrow at her.

"I know, Ali told me. You're not my father, but you are hers. And I don't care, as far as I'm concerned you're not really her father, a father wouldn't have abandoned his child."

A doctor entered the room, which Cece thought was perfect timing. "All righty, everyone who is not immediate family will need to leave the room please." She said looking around at them. Mr. and Mrs. D stayed where they were, Cece cleared her throat, "Um, that means you." she said pointedly looking at them.

"I'm your father, I have every right to be here." he sneered.

"No you don't, you gave me up as a baby, so you're not my father. You never have been and never will be, not really. So please leave."

"And you two?" the doctor kindly asked Jason and Ali after Mr. and Mrs. D stormed out. "Jason is my fiancé, and Ali is his younger sister whom is like a sister to me as well. Is it all right if she stays as well?" Cece asked quickly, hoping she'd say yes.

"Well, normally we stick with immediate family, but seeing as you two are engaged, I guess I'll let it slide this time. So, we need to start treatment immediatly, and I can't promise anything will work. Your cancer has spread through a large portion of your chest and up into your brain. I'm not going to lie, your situation is very dire, and with your heart condition it is even worse. We are going to do everything we can possibly do to save you . That, I can promise you."
