So I know that this series was canceled like 2 years ago but I found it on Netflix and just fell in love with it-so I watched the whole thing (multiple times) and I hated the ending so I decided that I was going to write a one-shot/ficlet story were essentially the first chapter is what should've happened after that terrible excuse for a finale, and then the next is just (mostly) related one-shots or small ficlets (fics under 5 chapters, but over 1). I am taking prompts from anybody who reads this and wants something they didn't see on the show filled.
So leave a review or a prompt if you like it.
And a warning that this one is very long xD
Enjoy :3

Emily woke up and sat up-what the hell had just happened? She checks her phone and sees a text from Micah.
Morning :)
She smiled, it had a little heart emoji next to it. She was about to reply when she feels weight on her bed shift.
"Hey." She hears a groggy voice say.
Emily turns and sees Will in her bed-a very naked Will. She blushes and realizes that she as well was naked.
"You alright?" Will asks as Emily grabs some sheets and covers her chest.
"Get out." She says quietly.
"What?" Will asks.
"I said get out." Emily says more firmly.
"Em, don't you want to talk about last night?" He asks.
"No because it was a mistake." Emily says.
"A mistake? You've been in love with me for years and when we finally hook up it's a mistake?" He asks.
"Yes-because I'm over you. For real, last night I was slightly drunk. But I have somebody-or I had somebody because I don't know how they'll react to this." Emily said.
"Wait you were moving on?" Will asks.
"Yes." Emily says as both adults get up and clothe themselves.
"With who?" Will asks.
"Micah." Emily said.
"Seriously? Em-he's your boss." Will said.
"I know, but he's cute and funny and sweet." Emily said.
"And I'm not?" Will asks.
"Will please don't make this about you." Emily says.
"Why not? I'm kind of the one being pushed away here-"
"No! No you aren't. I was the one being pushed away. For all of med school I've been there for all the break-ups, all the parties, last minute study sessions, and for all those years I was always ignored and put aside. Then when I get the courage to tell you I was in love with you you pushed me away, and went for the one person who I hate the most. But as if that wasn't enough, the second I realized that I wanted to be somebody's first choice, because I was your second, and I found somebody who had me as their first choice-you come marching up and expect everything to be fine! But it's not! It's not fine-because I'm over you, for real. Honestly last night was nothing but a mistake and that's all it'll ever be." Emily says, feeling herself get really truly angry for the first time-in a while.
After a few moments of silence Will sighs and says,
"I guess I'm just so used to you being there for me, I mean no matter what I've put you through you're always there for me. So when you did start finding someone else-I felt jealous, because I thought that you wouldn't be there for me when I needed you-because you are a wonderful friend Emily, and I'm sorry in advance for whatever happens."
"Thank you Will." Emily says as Will gets the rest of his clothes on and says,
"I'll see myself out."

Micah watched Emily on rounds, she was acting strange. She wouldn't look him in the eye and her and Dr. Collins kept having side conversations. After rounds were over she was in the lounge getting coffee and he walked over and asked,
"Hey are you okay, you seem-off."
Emily looked him in the eye and then covered her eyes,
"I'm sorry." She said. "I know that you're going to hate me-"
"Hey not here." He says quietly and then helps lead her into a nearby medical supply closet, and once they were in she took a deep breath-tears still in her eyes-and said,
"I slept with Will last night because I was drunk and confused and he came to my apartment and we kissed and it got out of hand. But I told him off this morning, because it was a mistake and I have no feelings for him and I don't want to be with him, I want to be with you."
"You slept with Will?" He asks feeling hurt.
"Yes." Emily says.
"Not even a day after we decided to give us a try." Micah says.
"Yes-and I'm sorry, if I could go back in time I wouldn't do it." Emily says.
"Everybody says that-"
'But I'm serious! I swear I am honestly." Emily says.
"I bet you are-about as serious as you were about being over him before you went and slept with him." Micah says before leaving the supply closet.
Emily stands there stunned before collecting herself-she just had to go about her day like it was normal. This would all sort itself out right-in time?
~000000000000000000~
For the rest of the day, and week Emily and Micah avoided each other. After watching them avoid each other again Will had enough. He walked up to Micah during Will's break, while he was getting coffee before his next shift and Micah was getting coffee so he could go home and not have to drink crappy coffee and asks,
"Hey-can I talk to you?"
"What about?" Micah asks.
"Emily." Will says.
"You don't have to gloat dude-I know you won." Micah says.
"Actually, I'm not here to gloat I'm here to say that you shouldn't be mad at her." Will says.
"And why is that?" Micah asks.
"-because it was my fault we slept together. I came into her apartment and kissed her-knowing that she was over me, and I'll admit that I took advantage of her. So if anything-be mad at me, ignore and avoid me, push me away, make me look like dirt at my job. Just give Emily a break." Will said taking his coffee and then leaving.
Micah looks after Will, and realizes that he was being childish.
"Oh God." He says softly to himself-takes his coffee and jogs to his car-he had some shopping to do.

Emily sat at home as Tyra came out of the bathroom.
"Does this look okay?" Tyra asks.
"You look hot." Emily says in a mopey voice not looking up from her book.
"Okay look-Micah will come around eventually and you have to stop wallowing in self pity until that happens because it's not going to make anything easier. Now I'm going to be leaving in 10 minutes and I'll text you where I am anytime I change location. If I'm not at work tomorrow-"
"Call the police and show them the picture of what you were wearing, yeah I know the drill." Emily says and then she looks over her book and says, "Have fun."
"I plan to." Tyra says grabbing her purse and walking out the door.
Emily had just gotten back to reading when she heard a knock on her door. She got up and checked her outfit-she was wearing an oversized t-shirt that she had gotten at some mens store because it was comfortable, and some sport shorts. She shrugged-it was probably the pizza guy-so she grabbed the 20 by the door and opened up.
"I don't have a lot of tip-" She began but the noticed who it was.
Micah was standing at her door with a bouquet of flowers and was smiling awkwardly.
"Micah?" She asks confused, putting the money back down.
"Hi, um these are for you." He says handing the flowers to her. She takes them and says,
"Thank you-do you want to come in?"
"Sure." Micah says.
She lets him in and he takes off his coat and shoes, she leads him into the living room and has him sit down.
"Do you want anything to drink, I've got coffee, tea, water, and beer." She says.
"Um anything's fine." Micah says. Emily walks over to her fridge and has a little debate with herself before grabbing two beers and going out to the living room. She hands him one and he takes it.
They sit there-holding the unopened beer bottles for a while before he says,
"I'm sorry I've been avoiding you all week."
"It's totally fine-I completely deserved it." Emily said.
"No you didn't, you regretted your actions and it was so obvious you did and I was a jerk." Micah says.
"I'm sorry too-about the whole Will thing. I don't know what came over me." Emily said and she sits back, relaxing a bit more.
"He came up to be today-when I was leaving and told me to not be mad at you-and I thought for a while, and I'm not mad at you, I wasn't mad at you." He says opening his beer.
"Then what were you mad at?" She asks opening hers and taking a sip.
"I was mad more that I had waited so long to tell you-and the thought that I had lost to Will-even though he was a total dick to you." Micah said taking a small sip and she laughs.
"Yeah, he was when it came to my feelings, but he's a good friend." She says.
Micah looks at her and when she looks at him-their eyes meet and he places his drink down on the table next to hers and then moves the loose hair out of her face gently and kisses her. Gently, but with more force than the first kiss they had shared. Emily brings her hands up to rest on either side of his shoulders.
They kiss for a while before Emily separates from him and they catch their breath.
"That was-wow." Emily says slightly out of breath.
"Yeah." Micah said and then he looks over at her and they both start to laugh as her doorbell rang again.
"That's the pizza guy." Emily says and she gets up and answer the door, getting the small plain pizza she had ordered for herself.
"Want some?" She asks bring it over with some napkins.
"Sure." Micah says and they begin eating.
After most of the pizza's gone Emily gets up and puts it away before sitting back on the couch Micah's arm slung over her shoulders and she looks at him.
"This was great." She said and he nodded.
"It was-better than any real date I imagine." He says laughing. She looks at him and then after a moment's thoughts pulled his head down to hers kissing him.
The kiss was heated this time, before either of them knew it she had her legs around him and he was stumbling into her bedroom with her. She helped him lay her down and kissed him.
"Are you good with this?" He asks.
"Yes." She says, and she pulled his shirt over his head as he climbed over her.

Have a wonderful valentine's day :3
