Chapter 1 – The Night Before

"Right before we start this party, everyone, turn your phones off!" Hanna exclaimed "No babies, husbands/boyfriends or work. Tonight is about having fun."

The five friends stood outside the Radley, this was the first night out that they've had since Hanna gave birth to a baby boy, Dylan. However, this night was extra special, as it just happened to be Emily and Alison bachelorette party.

All the girls reached in their bags and turned off their phones.

"Turn it off Em," Spencer Joked. "Not on silence."

"My mom has the girls and their having trouble getting to sleep," Emily sighed, looking to fiancée for back up.

"Babe, they'll be fine," Ali grabbed her hand to reassure the brunette.

"You're right," Emily replied, giving her bride to be a kiss on the cheek.

"Let's get this party started then shall we!" Hanna stated, causing her friends to burst out laughing.

"Spencer and I are going to gets us some drinks" Aria said, as she followed the taller girl in the building.

The three remaining girls walked over to table located on the courtyard of the Radley.

"I can't believe that you are getting married tomorrow." Hanna repeated for about the hundredth time today. Ali looked over at her soon to be wife and smiled from ear to ear.

"It's been worth the wait." Emily replied, reaching over to grab Alison's hand.

"Babe, are you all packed for your sleepover with Hanna?" Ali chuckled.

"Please don't call it a sleepover, we're not thirteen anymore" Emily joked, "but to answer your question, yes I have."

"I find it ridiculous that we have to spend the night away from each other," Alison whined.

"I know, but I'll make it up to you tomorrow night," Emily wiggled her eyebrows. Ali's checks turned bright red. After all these years Emily sure knew how to make her woman swoon. As soon as Hanna was about to open her mouth to make a funny comment on their sex life, Aria and Spencer returned to the group with their drinks.

After about one to many cocktails and tequila shot, the group decided for the best that it was time to go home.

"Spencer, can I speak to you for a second," Emily slurred, having trouble standing up straight. Spencer somehow made it over to Emily.

"Yeah, what's up?" the taller girl asked. Emily reached in her bag and pulled out an envelope with Alison's name on it and handed it to Spencer.

"Can you give this to Ali before she goes to sleep, please" Emily asked, "it's important that she reads it."

"of course, I will. Is everything okay?" Spencer replied, slightly worried about her friend.

"Everything fine Spence," Emily chuckled, "because we aren't saying our own vows tomorrow, I just wanted to tell her how much I love her and appreciate her."

Spencer smiled at Emily. "you tell her that everyday Em, and I think she might already know."

Alison turned off the shower and stepped out, wrapping a towel around her hair and putting on Emily's robe that she stole. She slowly made her way in to Spencer living room and looked at the clock hanging on the wall. It had just turn 2:15am, only have to get up in 6 hours she thought to herself.

"I'm heading to bed" Spencer announced, popping her head around the corner.

"I won't be too long," Ali yawned, "I might call Em."

"Ah that reminds me," Spencer made her way over to her handbag and pulled out the letter. "Emily wanted me to give you this."

Alison held the letter in her hands and automatically recognised her fiancées handwriting. "I'll be in my room if you need me" the brunette whispered. Ali began to open the envelop and was met with the familiar perfume of Emily that made her heart skip a beat. Tears began to form in the blonde's eyes.

My Dearest Alison,

By the time you are reading this, it is probably our wedding day. So, happy wedding my love! Sometimes I find it hard to believe that it's been over 10 years since we shared our first kiss. I remember the way that your lips felt against mine, the way my heart felt as if it was about to burst through my chest. I remember ever single kiss we shared Ali. I remember the first time we ever made love and how special it was, how we became one. I remember the first time we heard our babies heart beats, the first ever time I felt them kick. There are so many special moment that we have share, I can't wait to make more memories with our little family.

I wanted to thank you for loving me, for being the mother to Lily and Grace and any other future children we may have. Thank you for taking care of me when I'm sick. Thank you for making me a better person.

I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you Ali. So, I suggest that you go to bed and get some rest and I'll be waiting at the alter for you.

Love

Emily, your mermaid xx

Streams of tears ran down Alison face, how was she going to get through the wedding without becoming an emotional wreck. Ali pulled out her phone from the pocket of the robe and dials Emily's number.

"Ali?" Emily whispered softly.

"Did I wake you?"

"Yeah but that's okay" Emily laughed.

"I love you so much" Ali cried.

"I love you too, baby." The brunette replied, "Ali get some rest, tomorrows a big day"

"Can't you sneak out and stay here?"

"I wish I could but Hanna might kill me" Emily joked making Alison laugh. "I'll see you in the morning babe"

"Good night Mrs Dilaurentis-Fields." Ali whispered with a huge smile on her face.

"Good night to you too, Mrs Dilaurentis-Fields." Emily whispered back.
