A/N: Hey! So this is my new story. It's an Aiden/Emily Fic. For the purpose of this story, Daniel is still very much in love with Emily. Aiden and Emily are very much in love as well and he has already proposed. Please review!
The whole Grayson clan were on the balcony staring down at Emily's house in astonishment. There was Emily, on the steps to her house, comforting Aiden, who looked like he was crying. She was holding onto him for dear life. Daniel couldn't understand what was going on. She looked at Aiden with so much love and pain. It was hurting her to see Aiden so upset. And Emily had never looked at Daniel with so much love. Not even once. And they were getting married in 5 weeks.
"What do you think is going on Daniel? Have they reunited once again?" Victoria's prickly voice tugged Daniel out of his thoughts.
"I'm not sure." He answered his voice full of doubt. Maybe they had gotten back together. But how? Emily is engaged to him, not that sinister human being.
"Well, they certainly looked very cosy, Daniel. Why don't you try calling Emily, huh? Maybe there is a perfectly clear reason to all of this." Daniel nodded, obeying his father and pulled out his phone. He dialled Emily's number and let it ring.
He observed Emily pulling her phone out of her pocket. She rejected the call.
"She hung up on me!"
"Daniel, I'm sure nothing is going on, maybe he's just upset?" Charlotte suggested.
"Yeah, well whatever it is, She's never looked at Daniel that lovingly." Sniped Victoria.
Daniel didn't reply but already he was starting to doubt if anything is really what it seems at all.
"Aiden, please, just tell me what's wrong. I've never seen you so upset. Please." Emily begged him, but she just seemed to make him cry harder. She felt so guilty. She could see he was in so much pain and it was hurting her too.
"T-There's something I h-haven't told you." Aiden said, trying to swallow the loud sobs that where threatening to overcome him.
"Okay?"
"I never meant to keep this from you, I really didn't. And I know Our relationship isn't based on lies, and I just hope that you can forgive me." Aiden sighed and wiped away the tears on his face. He closed his eyes and confessed his secret.
"I have a daughter. Well, had. And I am so so sorry I didn't tell you, I really am. I kept on meaning to and-"
"Wait, what? How? I mean.." And then it hit her Aiden said Had.
"Had?" Emily asked him gently.
Aiden sighed. He looked up at Emily to see her face scream confusion. He chuckled. Not because it was funny but because how fucked up this was.
"Y-yeah. Her name was Ellie. She was 3 years old. H-her mother came to my house, tears streaming down her face, sobbing uncontrollably. And I just knew, I just had this gut feeling." Emily held his hands in hers and held them tightly. She ran her fingers through his soft hair, and wiped away a few more tears.
"What happened?"
"E-er.. She was hit by a bus. She ran out into the road because she saw a massive candy cane in a shop window. She always loved candy canes because She thought they where magical." Aiden laughed at the memory and Emily could see how much it pained him to talk about it. Tears started to fall from her own eyes.
"Anyway, she was dead in an instant. Brain damage and a broken neck."
Emily didn't know what to say, so she wrapped her arms around him and climbed on top of him, giving him the tightest hug she could manage, while whispering comforting things into his ear.
"She would have been 14 today."
"I bet she would have been the most beautiful, kind, caring person."
Aiden felt the tears falling, but tried to resist the sobs from breaking free.
"Yeah. I bet."
Emily and Aiden were inside, in front of the fire. Aiden was talking about his favourite memories of his little girl. Sipping on glasses of wine, Emily was lying against him, playing with his hair.
"I remember one time, when she was about two, We went to the beach, all three of us and she was so amazed by the ocean, she spent hours just looking at it. And then eventually she mustered up the courage, and came up to me and held my hand and dragged me over to the sea." Aiden paused, laughing fondly at the memory,
"And then she jumped over the waves, and ran into the sea. It was such a great day."
Emily felt so moved by the memories that Aiden was telling her, she didn't even notice the tears that were threatening to fall.
"Hey, baby. Don't be sad, eh? She had a fantastic life."
"I know.. It's just.. I wish I could have met her, you know? She sounds so wonderful and I don't know, maybe we could have been a family. Just the three of us." Aiden was about to reply, when he noticed a silhouette coming towards them. He tapped Emily on the knee and she turned around.
"D-Daniel?! What are you doing here?" She moved herself away from Aiden and put down her glass of wine.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't realize that this place was off-limits, seeing as I do live here." He was absolutely wasted. Emily could smell the alcohol on his breath from where she was sitting.
"So what's going on, huh? Are you cheating on me again? With him?" Emily sighed and walked towards Daniel.
"Daniel, just go back to the manor. Sober up. I will explain everything Tomorrow, Okay?" With that Daniel left, and Emily locked the doors, and closed the curtains.
She walked towards Aiden and sat in his lap. She wanted to show him, how much he meant to her. She pulled off her shirt so she was just in her bra and pants. She leaned forward and captured Aiden's lips in a loving kiss. Quickly after that things got more heated and instead of sounds of pain, there were sounds of pleasure.
"I love you, Aiden, I love you, I love you." And they spent the night having sex on every piece of furniture and on most of the walls.
