CATASTROPHE & THE CURE
CHAPTER 1:
~:~
She looked at her watch again, still 30 seconds. She could feel her heart pounding furiously in her chest as she stared at the pale pink pregnancy test. After begging and begging, Emily finally got her on board with the whole baby thing, and about three months ago they had started the whole fertility process. After the whole ordeal with AD and Emily's eggs being destroyed they decided using Alison's eggs and a sperm donor that looked like the brunette.
20 seconds to go…
Alison sat on the edge of the bath wondering & waiting for the news that would change not only only her life but the brunette's sitting next to her. Alison took in a deep breath in an effort to settle the butterflies in her stomach as her wife grasped the blonde's knee giving it a light squeeze. "We're in this together. No matter what."
"You really think we're ready for this? I couldn't feel more unprepared to be a mother". The blonde admitted sadly. Emily silently encased her wife in a hug.
10 seconds to go…
"We will be fine. Any baby that comes along will be lucky to have us as parents,".
Alison lifted her gaze away from the stick to meet Emily's warm chocolate eyes.
"You really think so?"
"I know so." Emily said softly pressing her lips to Alison's in a feathery kiss.
Beep beep beep…
Finally the moment was here. Emily switched off the timer on her iPhone (while Ali had used her watch)as Alison held the stick shutting her eyes tight as she turned it over.
"Ok one line means we aren't pregnant, two lines means we are." The brunette explained looking at the instructions on the box. Both women took a breath. Alison's hand shaking as the result was revealed.
Two red lines!
"I can't believe you got pregnant on the first try & only with 25% chance." Emily chirped excitedly.
"Oh my god Em, this is actually happening!". The brunette wasted no time, feverishly kissing her wife's lips swiping the blondes hair behind her ear. Alison was pregnant with their first child. Boy or girl? They didn't mind which. As long as it would grow to be happy & healthy.
Emily moved onto her knees so she was level with her wife's stomach letting her hands roam over it. She leaned in and kissed the blonde's belly. "We are gonna make you so happy little baby."
"What are you doing?" Alison asked running her hand through her wife's hair.
"Talking to our baby" Emily replied looking up at her before turning back down to face Alison's stomach "I love you so much".
"We love you too" Alison said grabbing Emily's hand pulling her up "You do?" Emily smiled.
"We really do" Alison said, leaning in to kiss the brunette passionately, "We're so lucky to have you,"
"No Ali" Emily stated "I'm the lucky one"
-x-
"Can we please tell them?" Emily begged releasing one hand from the steering wheel to Alison's knee as they drove along "Pleaseee?" she added.
"No. We agreed. We're not telling anyone until the first trimester is over" Alison declared looking over at her wife.
"How about I only tell one of them huh?" Emily suggested looking over at Alison with puppy eyes "I'll only tell Hanna I promise".
"Hanna! Seriously? Em, you may as well just scream it out in the middle of the street. Hanna couldn't keep a secret if her life depended on it! What makes you think she could keep this pregnancy a secret?".
Emily sighed "First of all Hanna's our best friend & second she knows we've wanted a baby for ages. She already knows about the fertility tests & everything, but if you really don't want anyone to know then...you win. We won't tell anyone until the first trimester's over. Happy?".
Alison leaned over the middle console kissing Emily on the cheek. "Thanks Em. I just want to be sure that everything is ok before we share the news."
Emily nodded as the green light shone overhead. A short while later the couple were pulling up at Hanna & Caleb's house just outside the city of New York. They had invited everyone down for a get together. It had been so long since their last gathering, 5 years in fact.
"Oh my god you're finally here!" Hanna said enveloping both Emily & Alison in a tight hug.
"Sorry we're late." Alison stated removing her coat,
"It's okay I'm just really happy you're here" Hanna smiled "Wait where's Spencer? I thought she was driving down with you guys"
"She was but Marion's got the flu so I think she'll be getting here a little later," Emily explained
"Is it me or is Marion always getting sick?" Hanna joked, she loved Spencer's older daughter but the first time they were getting together the whole thing was canceled because little Marion got sick.
"No it's not just you" Alison laughed
"Come on let's get inside" Hanna said grabbing Emily's and Alison's hands and leading them inside her house.
-x-
The Rivers house was a lavishly decorated but kid friendly house. A whole wall was dedicated to portraits of her two kids. Jake aged 5 & Ruby aged 4. As the three women made their way into the kitchen Hanna immediately pulled out a bottle of wine.
"Anyone want a drink before the rest of the gang get here?". Emily and Alison exchange a look.
"Ok what's up? Is someone pregnant?" the taller blonde joked.
"Nope I'd love some." Alison replied letting Hanna fill the wine glass halfway, and Emily looked over at the blonde questioningly.
"Em?" Hanna gestured to her.
"Auntie Ali! Auntie Em!" screamed Ruby bouncing into the kitchen.
"Hey Ruby, you're looking very pretty today,".
"Mummy said I had to wear this dress because you bought it for me." Emily gave Hanna a knowing look."This is the first she's worn it isn't it?"
"Yeah well, she's her father's daughter she gets dirty in the garden and doesn't like wearing dresses much. So sue me." The blonde said sarcastically.
Alison laughed thankful for the interruption.
Ruby was just like a mini version of her mother; blonde hair & blue eyes but had all the cheekiness of her father Caleb.
As Hanna prepared the salads for the BBQ Emily was dragged outside with the kids leaving Alison & Hanna alone.
"You gonna tell me if your wife out there has a bun in the oven or not?"
Alison sighed in defeat clearly Hanna was onto the them. "Ok yes, we're pregnant but you can't say anything to anyone. Got it?!" The blonde warned.
Hanna beamed, jumping up and down enthusiastically hugging her friend.
"So Emily's actually pregnant?!" Hanna inquired a gigantic smile plastered across her face.
"uhm…" Alison began, "it's sort of the other way around"
"Oh my god! That's amazing! You've wanted kids for so long. I finally get to be a godmother,"
"Who gave you that idea?"
"I called dibs a year ago when you were taking those fertility tests".
-x-
It was over hours later everyone was sitting on the deck outside watching the kids have a water fight in the pool. Jake, Ruby, Marion, Aria & Ezra's three kids Jennifer, Sophie and Scott.
"They're all so big" Alison said as she stared at all the kids, she wondered what their own child would be like. Boy or girl? Adventurous & cheeky or more the bookworm type that just wouldn't stop reading.
"I know" Hanna smiled "I can't believe Scott is turning six next month"
"Yeah he told us the other day he wants a big party with all his friends at the camp grounds near the Lost Woods Resort," Ezra added taking a swig of his beer.
"Lost Woods Resort?" Emily asked bewildered
"Yeah well being that his birthday landed on Halloween he wanted it to be a Halloween themed party so.." Aria trailed off. Scott was a lover of all things scary and ghouly. It was his favourite time of year. He had always loved things that typically scared other children his age.
"That place still creeps me out" Spencer confessed
"Yeah me too" Alison agreed, unconsciously placing her hand on her stomach, the simple thought of that place made her feel nauseous, whether that was because of the more than unpleasant memories or her random morning sickness she wasn't sure.
"Everything okay Ali?" Aria asked looking at her friend getting pale.
"Yeah I'm sure she's fine" Hanna assured "she's just pr-..."
"Spence can you pass the potatoes? I haven't put any on Alison's plate yet." Emily said quickly. Thankfully the awkward silence that followed went unnoticed by the group as they continued chatting.
By mid afternoon everyone was stuffed. The kids had crashed on their towels on the lawn whilst the grown ups cleaned up. "Anyone want anymore wine?" Spencer inquired as she grabbed the bottle to pour some in her glass, "Yours in empty Ali, you want some?"
Emily and Alison had decided that Alison would take a glass of wine and every once in awhile Emily would drink from it, so that it seemed the blonde was in fact drinking. However after drinking her three glasses and Alison's she was done with wine. So when Spencer asked, Alison turned around to look at Emily who shook her head furiously.
"No I'm good" Alison smiled
"Really?" Aria chuckled "You tend to drink more than two glasses" she attempted to joke
"If I didn't know any better I'd say you were pregnant?"
Alison bit the inside of her lip not knowing what to say. Her wife gave her a look that said 'we've been busted,'.
"Do you want to do the honours or should I?" Alison asked but before Emily could get a word in Hanna blurted out.
"Ali's knocked up!"
"Hanna!" Emily & Alison scolded playfully
Everyone just laughed, quickly congratulating the happy couple.
"How far along?" Toby asked looking toward the two women who were currently drying the washed up plates as they had relocated inside.
"About ten weeks?" Emily guessed counting back to their last doctor's appointment, which was when Alison had been artificially inseminated.
"Yes about ten weeks, its early days but we can't wait."
"I'm so happy for you two" Spencer smiled warmly "You'll both be amazing mothers".
