When Sunday finally comes around and it's time for Emily to have supper with the O'Hara family, Kelley can hardly contain herself. Just when she feels like she can't wait for any longer there is a knock on the front door and she quickly gets up from her spot on the couch and makes her way to the front door. She opens the door and smiles and Emily standing there with a bag in her hand. 

Kelley: Come with me.

Kelley grabs her hand and pulls her upstairs to her room. Shutting the door, she takes Emily's bag and throws it towards the bed, before pulling her in and kissing her until they need to separate for air. 

Emily smiles widely as she struggles to catch her breath, "Not, that I mind being greeted like that, but a simple hey or hi would have been good as well."

Kelley: I haven't seen you in two days, I needed to know if you're still using the same Cherry chapstick.

Emily looks at her and shakes her head, "Really? That's the story you're going with? You could have simply said that you're testing the waters for tonight.

Kelley: That too.

Emily: Don't worry, I haven't changed my mind, in fact, I haven't stopped thinking about it or you. 

Kelley: Me neither. But first, we need to get through supper with the 'rents. Be forewarned that they are probably going to ask about us and our plans.

Emily: Plans? What do you mean by plans, exactly?

Kelley: Meaning what's going to happen with us once we leave for the NWSL season.

Emily: That's an easy answer for me, I want to be able to tell people, well, at least our friends and family that we are dating and you are my girlfriend. You?

Kelley: Same. Sonny, will you be my girlfriend?

Emily: You have no idea how long I've waited to hear those words come out of your mouth and the answer is and always has been yes.

Kelley: Good, now that that is settled, don't worry about the rest, we will figure things out as they come. After all, it's not like we don't have the technology to be able to stay in contact with each other or the ability to catch a flight and see each other within hours.  

Emily: Someone has clearly done some thinking about this.

Kelley looks Emily straight in the eyes and smiles, "I've done lots of thinking about you, and us over the last few weeks. I told you, that I want you and us to work and I plan on doing whatever is necessary to make that happen. 

Emily looks back at her, "I believe you and for what it's worth I promise to do whatever is necessary to make us work as well."  

They smile at each other, hug and then exchange another kiss before deciding that they should make their appearance downstairs for supper before someone, presumably, Erin, comes looking for them.  

Kelley takes Emily's hand and they head downstairs and into the kitchen/dining room, where Kelley pulls out a chair for Emily to sit on, before kissing the top of her head as she does so. 

Emily: Again, with the opening doors and pulling out chairs, thing, huh?

Kelley laughs, "Just shut up and sit down, babe and enjoy it while it happens."

Karen O'Hara standing over by the counter with her husband Dan as well as Erin all look at each other. 

Karen: Did you just call her babe? 

Dan and Erin both smile and nod. 

Kelley looks over at them, "You do realize that I can hear everything you say, right? Do you have a problem with me calling Sonny, babe or pulling her chair out for her?"
