A/N: So this is an idea I had running through my head :) Most future fics with all of the girls I've read always makes the characters have the exact same jobs, and I wanted to change it up a little!

Emily POV

It was a sunny, picture-perfect day at the Cavannaugh's house in beautiful California. All of the spouses and of course, Emily, Spencer, Hanna, and Aria were gathered for a barbecue party.

"Arrianie, come back here now!" Hanna gasped, totally out of breath. The little blonde, blue-eyed girl in the sparkly pink dress just giggled and ran off through the hallway, waving her pink princess wand.

"Maybe that's what you get for nurturing your kid's 'free spirit'" commented a very pregnant Aria. He refused to wear any 'cheap, oversized maternity clothes', so she re-sowed her entire wardrobe. Right now she was wearing a top made from bright pink fabric and blue feathers. It was better not to ask.

"You're one to talk, Aria." Spencer chuckled, looking at Aria's top.

"Creative License!" Aria shot back. "I got two of them, Ms. I'm-A-Famous-Actress!" It was true. Aria had become a part time writer and singer, becoming professional at both things she loved to do. As for Spencer, during her first year of college she quit her law classes and applied to the American Art University. Her parents were not happy campers at first, but after their daughter won her first Golden Globe for an indie film- Wilderness-, they actually started bragging about her.

"Hey, Spence," I began. She stopped drinking her Mike's Hard Lemonade to look at me.

"Yeah Em?"

"How's the film business these days?" I asked.

"Busy." She replied. "As usual, but loads of fun! My movies drops in three weeks from now."

We all stood shocked. Spence had refused to tell us when it opened for the fear of 'bad mojo'. Then Hanna commented on how that sounded like a sleazy old magician that drooled over children's' name and we'd all started laughing.

"Well, can we come or what?" Hanna asked.

Spencer looked at us mischievously. "The best part is I got you all backstage passes at opening night! 8:00 sharp!"

"I'm calling a babysitter!" Hanna exclaimed.

"Holy shit!" I gasped.

"Tsk, tsk," Maya said from behind me, tapping my shoulder. "Language, Fields."

Everyone laughed. Everybody present knew the story of Em's swim coach's sub. He was a veteran of WW2 and every time Emily said 'shoot' or 'shit', or even 'crap', he would yell out in his raspy voice "Language, Fields!"

"I'm so excited for you Spence!" Aria said smiling. "I would give you a hug, but I might crush you."

A loud cheer was heard outside at the barbecue where the men were all gathered around. Spencer laughed at the sight of Toby's excited face.

"I'm going to go see what's so funny over there that they let the people over in China know about it." I watched her place her red cup on the table and practically skip over to her husband. In a red type of sundress she never wore with a beige floppy beach hat on, Spence seemed so much happier than when she was going to be a lawyer.

It was a beautiful day outside. Even the summer grass seemed greener as the birds chirped lazily. I tilted my head back and sighed in relaxation.

"Hey, Em." Maya said.

"Yeah?" I answered, my eyes still closed in the sun.

"Paige umm, came up to me yesterday and asked about you." Maya said nervously. I could feel her eyes on my skin.

"Why do you sound nervous, then?" I asked.

"Doesn't it bother you that after seven years of us being together she's still chasing you?" Maya burst out. So that was the real problem.

I opened my eyes to look at her face to face. I knew I had to choose my words carefully when Maya got like this.

"Yeah, I'll have to admit, it does bother me that she doesn't take the hint. But I'm all set to ignore her because I can stare all I want at a beautiful woman in front of me." I knew my honest reassurances had worked when I saw the tension in Maya's shoulders uncoil. I pecked her lightly on the lips.

She smiled back at me. "You're absolutely right."

"Aren't I always?"

Maya laughed. "Not too cocky there, Fields."

"You can never be too cocky." I winked. "Unless you're a lesbian."

"Language, Fields!"

I just laughed.

A/N: So this chapter is to set the plot for the story. Let me know what you thought! :)
