The shrill tone of the landline filled the Dilaurentis house, Alison was busy humming as she bustled about in the kitchen. She pulled off a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon from her wine shelf and laid it to rest on the dining table. She dried her hands on a kitchen towel as she made her way through the empty house, her dining companion would be home soon and a hearty home cooked meal of spaghetti bolognaise for two awaited them.

Alison smiled as she thought of the past few months, at first she thought it would be difficult to adjust to living with someone after spending five years on her own, but ever since she found out she was pregnant she had been glad for the company. Household chores, doctor's appointments, odd-midnight cravings heck even driving to work became much easier with someone around and Alison couldn't wait to thank her companion for all they had done for her the past months.

She had finally reached the telephone and was about to pick up when suddenly her heart clenched in fear. Call it intuition, or hormones, but Alison immediately knew something was wrong, that her family was in danger so in a panic she picked up the call and spoke

Alison: "Hello?'

There was a soft crackle on the other end before the caller had spoken

Caller: "Hello? Alison Dilaurentis?"

Alison gulped softly before continuing

Alison: "Yes..."

Caller: "Ms Dilaurentis, this is Stacy from Rosewood General, there's been an accident..."

Alison could hear the woman talking as her surroundings blurred around her, words like 'crash', 'red light', 'impact' and 'driver's side' swam through her head as she quickly took down the patient's name and the doctor that was treating them. Once she cut the call she let out a hot sob as she grabbed her phone, her fingers trembling as she messaged her friends.

'SOS...Rosewood General...'

When she had confirmed that the message had been sent, she grabbed her keys and handbag and rushed out to her car. Once behind the wheel she took a few deep breaths to calm herself before putting the keys into the ignition, the engine soon roared to life as she rushed towards the hospital.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Usually the journey would have taken her half an hour, but somehow Alison found herself rushing through the emergency room doors of Rosewood General just twelve minutes after she had received the phone call. She probably broke every traffic law known to man in her rush but she couldn't care less, all she needed to know was that she was okay, that she was going to live.

Apparently she wasn't the only one who rushed over, she caught sight of Aria and Hanna rushing through the emergency room as she asked the nurse behind the reception desk about her

Nurse: "...The ambulance is on their way Ms Dialurentis..."

Alison: "Thank You"

She thanked the woman purely on reflex before making her way over to Aria and Hanna. The three friends shares a tearful hug just as the emergency room doors burst open once more. EMT's, Paramedics, Doctors and nurses swarmed around the new patient and Alison could clearly hear every word being said

Doctore: "What do we got?"

EMT: "Car crash vic...female, early twenties.."

Nurse: "The other driver?"

Paramedic: "He's fine, there's not a scratch on him..."

Doctor: "there's fluid build up in the abdomen. Severe contusions along the chest...possibly broken ribs...multiple visible fractures on the left arm, leg and pelvis...page CT, cardio and ortho and have an OR ready..."

The doctor was joined by a team of people and moments later they wheeled the new patient away to an OR. As they were being wheeled away, Alison caught sight of the woman on the gurney and lost her balance. The sound around her faded as she registered the face of the patient that was just rushed past her. She was about to hit the ground when she felt multiple pairs of arms hold her up. A nurse stood before her with Aria and Hanna were on her sides as they escorted her to a seat in the waiting room. Once she was seated, Aria began speaking intently with the nurse while Hanna rubbed her back soothingly but Alison could not calm down, Alison could not be reassured. All she could think about was the events that lead up to this moment, the misconception that could take everything away from her.

*Five Months Ago*

Alison held the personalised necklace in her hands, her fingers playing over the beads as Emily paced the length of the Dilaurentis living room. The other girls had left for the evening, giving Alison and Emily privacy to come to terms with AD's latest violation.

It was weird, this morning she was ready to terminate this pregnancy when she found out she was pregnant with Emily's child everything changed. Now she wanted nothing more than to have this child, to raise it, love it and nurture it together with the love of her life, her mermaid, her Emily. She smiled to herself as she imagined Emily and her raising their family.

Emily huffed loudly, pulling Alison from her thoughts

Emily: "This is crazy! We can't have a baby!"

Alison sighed deeply before she addressed the clearly freaked out swimmer.

Alison: "Em...calm down..."

Emily: "Calm down? Calm Down! How do you expect me to be calm Ali? I have a child! AD stole and fertilised my eggs and impregnated you! I can't...I can't do this!"

Alison: "But...Em..."

Emily: "I can't...I can't have a child..."

Alison: "Em...Emily what...what do you mean?"

Emily: "I can't do this Ali...I'm sorry...I just got back together with Paige...I can't..I can't have a baby with you..."

The swimmer then grabbed her bag and rushed out of the Dilaurentis home, pushing past someone in her rush to leave. The moment Alison heard the slamming of the front door she sank to her knees and cried. Seconds after her knees hit the floor she was engulfed in a warm embrace, long slender fingers rubbed soothing circles down her back and a soft husky voice filled her ears.

Spencer: "It's okay...shh..."

Once she realised that it was Spencer Alison began sobbing uncontrollably. Spencer pulled the sobbing blonde tighter into her embrace and spoke

Spencer: "Ali...Ali...It's okay...I'm here..."

Alison wailed softly at Spencer's words and through her sobs cried out

Alison: "But She's NOT!"

Spencer glanced over her shoulder at the now closed door and asked

Spencer: "Who? Emily?"

Alison nodded slowly as she buried herself deeper in Spencer's arms. Her face resting in the crook of Spencer's neck and her arms wrapped around Spencer's shoulders. The youngest Hastings adjusted herself slightly to make Alison more comfortable as Alison spoke

Alison: "Emily...she'd rather be with Paige...It's silly...This morning I didn't even want this baby...but now that I know it's hers..."

Spencer smiled softly at this and finished the thought for her

Spencer: "You couldn't bring yourself to get rid of it..."

Alison sobbed loudly and continued

Alison: "She said she wouldn't leave me alone...this is her baby too...and I want to keep it...but she doesn't wanna be with me...I can't do this alone...I can't"

Spencer: "You won't be alone...I'm here...besides, we're neighbours slash cousins slash somehow step siblings...I have a familial obligation to take care of you Ali...As long as I'm alive...you'll never be alone..."

Alison sniffed softly at Spencer's words, detangled herself from the brunette's arms stared at the woman before her and spoke

Alison: "Thanks Spence..."

Spencer gave Alison her trademark lopsided grin before drying Alison's tears.

Spencer: "you're my baby cousin Ali...I couldn't possibly abandon you..."

Alison huffed at Spencer's words before shoving her playfully

Alison: "you're only three months older!"

Spencer: "And don't you forget it!"

*End *

Pulled from her houghts by the sound of a nurse clearing their throat, Alison glanced timidly at the nearby clock, it had been an hour since they had arrived at the hospital and Alison was slowly becoming restless.

'Will they be okay? what if they don't make it? Does her family know that she's here?"

The nurse cleared her throat again and Alison finally turned to face the woman. She held in her hand a see through plastic bag and before she could tell Alison what was in the bag, Alison grabbed it out of the woman's hands and began going through the items. Hanna thanked the woman for returning the victim's personal effects while Aria held Alison, who broke down into uncontrollable sobs as each item was pulled from the bag.

Alison soon held in her hands a watch with a shattered face, a phone with a scratched case, a badly torn purse and a small fluffy teddy bear. Aria and Hanna watched as Alison stared at the teddy bear intently. It was adorable, fluffy, a nice mocha brown bear that was stained deep crimson. The nurse had told them that the bear was in the passenger side seat and had miraculously survived the crash, she then asked if she should have the bear dry cleaned but Alison sobbed loudly at this. The pregnant blonde hugged the bear tightly to her chest in a poor attempt to comfort herself, she didn't care that she was staining her designer couture with blood, she didn't care that she was seeking comfort from an inanimate object, all that mattered was that she wasn't there to hold Alison, and the pregnant blonde saw the bear as a way to feel close to her.

'whenever I'm in your arms, feel loved...safe...protected...So until I get a chance to be in your arms again this bear will have to be a poor substitute...'

*Four Months Ago*

Alison laughed heartily as she pushed her shopping cart around the grocery store. She was busy doing her household shopping and Spencer decided to tag along otherwise coffee, siracha and beer would be the only edible things at the brunette's loft. The brunette had just told Alison a story about some of her new co-workers and the blonde held her side with laughter as Spencer added a carton of milk and some cheese to each of their carts

Alison: "Seriously Spencer!?"

Spencer: "What?"

Alison: "What did you do afterwards?"

Spencer: "Well I just got the hell out of there...and vowed to never use that photocopier again..."

Alison: "only you would walk in on people having sex in a copy room..."

Spencer: "Well it was my bad luck..."

Alison: "What? That you got a free show?"
Spencer: "No...that none of them were hot.."

Alison smacked Spencer's arm playfully as they continued shopping. Turns out Spencer was an okay shopping companion, she asked Spencer to get things down from higher shelves for her and she fussed over Spencer's dietary needs when the brunette made a few unhealthy choices. Spencer would not let Alison lift anything heavy or put herself in a situation that would 'harm her or the precious cargo' so while Spencer was busy telling a store clerk to put up a 'wet floor' sign after Alison almost slipped and fell, an elderly woman stopped Alison and addressed her

Woman: "You are positively glowing...how far along are you?"

Alison stared at the woman surprised, before blushing softly. She cradled her small bump and responded

Alison: "About eight weeks..."

The woman looked at Spencer slightly and said

Woman: "I bet she her over protectiveness is driving you crazy...I've been watching you two for some time now..."

Alison stared at Spencer quickly before turning back at the woman

Alison: "Oh no...it's not"

Woman: "You two are adorable dear...I wish you everything of the best..."

The woman walked away just as Spencer resumed her position by Alison's side

Spencer: "What was that about?"

Alison smiled softly before replying

Alison: "She umm...she thought we were a couple..."

Spencer grinned childishly before quipping

Spencer: "Well we are two people..."
Alison smacked Spencer's arm playfully and chided

Alison: "No you goof! She thought we were together..."

Spencer: "I know Ali...I'm just teasing...So did you tell her that we're not?"

Alison watched the old woman who now stood at the end of the aisle and sighed.

Alison: "No...I didn't feel the need to..."

Spencer grinned at this and said

Spencer: "Ah well...we need to finish up here, you have a doctor's appointment in half an hour and you get really cranky when you sit in that waiting room for too long..."

Alison laughed at this and asked

Alison: "Can you drop me off my place afterwards?"

Spencer checked her watch and said

Spencer: "Sure...After your appointment, I'll drop you off at your place then I'll have about five minutes to change at mine and then I can rush off to this dinner meeting..."

Alison: "I hate that your new job has you working soo late..."

Spencer: "I know Ali...how about I get you that chocolate pecan pie that you like from that place in Philly on my way back?"

Alison smiled when Spencer mentioned the one thing she had been craving all day

Alison: "That would be lovely"

The two women failed to notice an enraged Emily Fields at the end of the aisle, the swimmer had clearly heard their conversation and a bout of jealousy had overcome her. This new found feeling was soon brushed aside when Emily's girlfriend Paige pulled Emily away to pick out some fresh produce but just before she could leave, Emily turned to gaze at the woman carrying her child and a white hot rage surged through her when Spencer Hastings appeared beside Alison. Ever since Alison decided to keep the baby, Spencer had been stuck to the blonde's side. Whenever Emily caught sight of the pregnant blonde, Spencer was not far behind. The lanky brunette had been driving Alison to and from work, around town and whenever she wasn't by Alison's side, she'd text the blonde to make sure she was okay. Emily found the entire display a little nauseating but she couldn't deny the fact that Alison was happier than she had been in months and a small jealous part of her could not accept the fact that it was Spencer Hastings that brought the smile back on Alison's face

*End*

Alison turned slightly in the uncomfortable hospital chair, her back ached and her muscles tensed but she couldn't bring herself to move. She heard Hanna and Aria conversing in hushed whispers beside her

Hanna: "Do you know what happened Ar?"

Aria: "Yeah...the nurse said it was a drunk truck driver...they ran a red light and hit the driver's side..."

Hanna nodded slowly and cast a quick glance at Alison

Hanna: "Do you think she'll be okay?"

Aria: "Dunno...but I hope they make it through this..."

Aria's words rang in Alison's head and the blonde slowly began silently begging every deity that would listen'please let her be okay...please don't take her away...please...she needs to recover...I need her...'

*Three Months Ago*

Alison and Spencer found themselves reclining in Spencer's barn after a wonderful dinner, the blonde was nuzzled into the brunette's side as the fire roared in front of them. The cool spring night was filled with their conversation as Alison continued her story

Alison: "So...then you gently carried me to my bed and thereafter had your way with me..."

Spencer smirked at Alison

Spencer: "So...was I any good?"

Alison laughed at this and teased

Alison: "You were amazing...you rocked my world..."

Spencer rolled her eyes at this and deadpanned

Spencer: "Your imaginary world..."

Alison: "Hey...for all I know, you could suck in real life...at least in my fantasy you're a stud..."

Spencer grinned at this before adding

Spencer: "Thanks Ali...but it doesn't mean anything...you're in your second trimester now Ali...you're hormones are in overdrive..."

Alison: "Yeah...that probably explains why I've been fantasising about you...sure beats the dreams I've been having about Emily..."

Spencer pulled Alison in for a hug as the blonde began to softly cry. Just as Alison became comfortable in Spencer's arms once more a loud knock on the door had interrupted them. Untangling herself from Alison, Spencer checked her watch and muttered

Spencer: "Who could be here this late?"

She got off the couch and Alison watched Spencer's back as the brunette opened the door, she could see Emily over Spencer's shoulder and she sighed deeply and suppressed a sob when Emily called Spencer outside to talk. The lanky brunette turned to face Alison and gave the blonde an apologising look before going outside to speak with the swimmer. The door wasn't latched closed and Alison wondered why they had gone outside at all, since she could clearly hear everything that was being said. The two women were clearly having an argument if Emily's harsh tones and Spencer's growled responses were anything to go by

Emily: "What the hell are you doing Spencer?"

Spencer: "Spending time with Ali..."

Emily: Don't toy with her..."

Spencer: "I'm not you Emily...I wouldn't dream of it..."

Emily: "Did you sleep with her?"

Spencer: "What?"

Emily: "AD sent me a picture...the two of you...together, in Alison's bed..."

Spencer: "What's it to you?"

Emily: "I need to know Spence..."

Spencer: "No...you don't...it doesn't concern you..."

Emily: "It Does concern me!"

Spencer: "NO...it doesn't ...it stopping being your concern when you walked away!"

Emily scoffed loudly and Alison flinched slightly when she heard this, she could tell Emily was angry, that Emily was about to say something that she would regret

Emily: "Ugh! You just can't help taking what doesn't belong to you!"

Spencer" Why do you care? You abandoned her when she needed you the most! You abandoned them Emily! So go...run to Paige...you're not needed here..."

*End*

Alison admired the loyalty the two women showed her that day. Both Spencer and Emily tried to protect her heart from each other that day and Alison couldn't help but feel loved in that moment. Spencer and Emily may have had the biggest fight of their lives and it was over Alison. If she was a teenager she would have enjoyed the drama and the fuss being created over her but now as an adult, Alison knew that their friendship needed to be mended before it was too late.

Hanna tapped Alison's knee gently, the blonde was kneeling before Alison and her action was pulling the pregnant blonde from her trance. Alison stared into the deep blue orbs of her friend as Hanna spoke

Hanna: "Ali...why was she out? Weren't you two supposed to have dinner?"

At that question Alison began to sob once more. Hanna pulled her into a tight embrace as Alison choked out her story through her tears

Alison: "Dinner...Dinner wasn't ready and...and I felt like having some chocolate macadamia ice cream..."

Aria had taken the seat beside Ali and began to hug her side as Alison sniffed loudly and continued

Alison: "...I told her I wanted some...and she...she went out to get it...I shouldn't have said anything...I should've kept quiet!"

Hanna and Aria held Alison as she cried, the pregnant blonde clearly distraught

Alison: "It's my fault...it's all my fault..."

*Two Months Ago*

It was a still, balmy night in Rosewood. Alison Dilaurentis stirred softly from her slumber when she heard a sultry voice talking to someone. Alison opened her eyes in panic, fearing that someone had broken in, but immediately relaxed at the sight before her. Spencer, who she had forgotten was staying over this week, was resting against her now slightly protruding barely clothed, belly. The brunette was clearly over caffeinated and still in her work attire. The youngest Hastings was deep in conversation with the unborn baby and Alison couldn't help but eavesdrop

Spencer: "...Well...technically I could be your aunt...I'm you uncle's sister after all...but I'm also your mummy's cousin...then there's Melissa...but trust me you don't want to be related to her...I'll draw you a family tree when you're older...you're gonna have to do it anyway for some class project so might as well get it over with...you'll get an 'A+'...that I guarantee...but you might be confused for the rest of your life..."

As soon as Spencer finished that thought she sighed

Spencer: "No matter what happens buddy...I'll never let anything happen to you..."

Alison felt a warmth spread through her chest at Spencer's protectiveness and her heart soared happily when she felt Spencer place a chaste kiss to the clothed portion of her abdomen.

*End*

The guilt weighed heavily on Alison as she sobbed bitterly in Aria's arms. The tiny brunette held Alison in her arms and tried to reassure her.

Aria: "No..Ali...no..it's not your fault sweety..."

Hanna: "Ali...it was an accident...you didn't do anything..."

Before her friends could elaborate, Alison heard her name being called

Doctor: "Alison Dilaurentis?"

Alison pulled herself out of Aria and Hanna's arms and addressed the doctor

Alison: "Is she?"

The doctor looked at Alison solemnly and said

Doctor: "I'm sorry...we tried our best but..."

Alison didn't hear the rest of his words, neither did Aria or Hanna for that matter the three friends held onto each other tightly as they wept bitterly for their lost friend.

Alison was sobbing into Hanna's shoulder when she heard Aria's voice cry out

Aria: "Em...Emily..."

Alison could feel a presence around her and swiftly she broke out of Hanna's embrace and threw herself into an outstretched pair of muscular arms, her tears blinding her vision, her heart breaking as she lost herself in dark tresses.

She sobbed loudly before she cried

Alison: "She's gone...Emily...Spencer's gone..."
