Hey #EmisonBabies, Enjoy this chapter. Thanks fro reviewing the previous one :) Love to all.
A week had past since Emily discovered the truth about Alison's pregnancy and the truth about its origins. Not the blonde's and Archer's but her own child growing and forming deep within her best friends & notably the love of her life's womb. However she had yet to share that little tid bit of information with Ali. She hadn't yet told the blonde of her still lingering feelings from all those years ago. Years had past and much had happened to the both of them. Most recently this somewhat troubling pregnancy that neither of them had expected or even asked for. Until Alison had come to a decision she wouldn't breach the subject of the status of their relationship. Alison had asked Emily for some space to clear her mind and Emily knew this was what was best so here she sat in the living room of her mothers house mulling things over with a cup of tea in her hands staring into the dreary rainy day outside.
"Emmie are you alright? You haven't seemed yourself this last week. Why don't you meet up with the girls for a coffee at the Brew or something." Mrs Fields suggested as she entered the room with a feather duster in hand.
Emily half smiled barely acknowledging her mothers suggestion. "I don't really feel like it today mum. Besides the girls are busy. Spencer's got family stuff going on, Hanna's with Caleb and Aria is dealing with Nicole & Ezra."
"What about Alison?"
"... She's doing ok I guess considering ..." she paused. Her mother didn't know about the pregnancy. In fact no one but Alison, herself, the girls and Paige knew-at least the truth about its parentage anyway. "she's just dealing with things in her own Ali way" she said finally.
Mrs Fields continued dusting about the room as she listened "Well tell me to mind my own business if you like but if you ask me Ali does a whole lot better when she has you around."
Emily looked her mother as her face cracked a smile, her cheeks flushing a gentle shade of pink.
Her mother smiled back "Go and see her darling. I'm betting a visit from you would do her the world of good." Emily took a long sip from her mug enjoying the warmth from the liquid as it passed her lips. Maybe paying Alison a visit wasn't the worse idea? So taking he last of her tea in one gulp she retrieved her phone from her jeans pocket. Searching through her recent contacts she selected Alison texting out a message.
Hey Ali, I know you want some space I just wanted to check on you. I've heard misery loves company. - Em xoxo
Before she could change her mind she pressed send. Hoping against hope that Ali just might want to see her. It had only been a week but not seeing Ali when she was in walking distance was like torture. A few minutes passed and nothing. Maybe she was sleeping. Pregnancy did make one very tired all the time. Plus the added stress of Detective Fury closing in on the homicide of Archer had done nothing to help matters in all their sleep patterns over the last few weeks.
"Please Ali. Please I want to see you.' Emily softly begged staring at her phone.
Ping. New Message from Alison. Or as it was in Emily's phone Ali-Cat.
Her hand shaking she swiped the message open. Withholding a breath.
"Still here darling?" Mrs Fields questioned seeing her daughter still in the same place she had left her a while ago. Emily tore her eyes away from her phone,
"Yeah. Just messaged Ali to see if she wants some company."
"Good. What did she say?"
Emily glanced down biting her lip as she read.
Consider me miserable. :( ;) I'd really love to see you. -Ali xxx
Emily smiled. "She wants to see me."
"Well of you go then." Mrs Fields urged shooing her daughter out of the room before Alison had the chance to change her mind.
Emily bolted out the door at a run. Excited, nervous as hell and out of her mind. What would she say? What would she do? Maybe it was best she just be there and not do or say anything. Right now the blondes emotions were all over the place and anything could upset her and send her off the deep end.
Finally after rounding corner after corner she found herself on the doorstep of the Dilaurentis house. Alison's parents house which now belonged to her. Tapping her knuckles on the door she waited for the blonde to answer it. Strangely though it took Alison three knocks to answer.
"Hi Em," Alison greeted not at all cheerfully. Her tone was low and her eyes red rimmed and puffy.
"I'm glad you answered. I thought for a minute there you might have changed your mind." Emily said stepping inside the foyer. "...Would it be weird if i hugged you right now?" the brunette asked just above a whisper searching Alison's blue eyes for any sign she may not want to be touched. Alison smiled weakly opening her arms enough for Emily to squeeze in and hold her close. Almost immediately at the contact of Emily against her the blonde held her tighter her head falling to her friends shoulder. the shoulder of the girl that had always been there for her when she needed someone. Particularly when she was at her worst and hurting. Emily felt the blonde clinging to her hard decided she wasn't going to let go until the blonde did.
"I'm here Ali." she cooed into the blondes hair as she held her. "I'm right here. I'm not going anywhere ok?"
The blonde didn't look up from her spot in her mermaids arms but nodded "Why did this have to happen to us?"
Emily's expression faltered at Alison's words. She was clearly so broken. So hurt. AD had used her eggs to hurt someone she loved so deeply. It wasn't right! It wasn't fair! Not to mention anything but legal to impregnate someone against their will and or knowledge with someone's donated eggs. It was friggin insane! God it was the shit of midday soap opera's on television.
"Because AD is a bastard whose bored with their own stupid fucked up life & they want to tear us apart." before she continued she turned Alison's chin up so that she met her eyes. "But that's not going to happen ok? We are in this together. Whatever you decide. If you want to abort this baby I will understand. If you want to keep this baby then i will do everything in my power to help you and give you everything you need."
Again the tiny blonde in her arms nodded silently. Her breathing uneven before had settled down to its regular rhythm. Finally the blonde composed herself standing up straight. "Have you eaten?"
"I'm fine but I think you need something. When was the last time you had a decent meal Ali?"
Alison was silent just as her belly growled lowly. "I guess a while ago." Emily took her hand and gently guided her to her own kitchen seating her down on an available chair.
"You sit and relax. I'll make you whatever you want. Is there anything that makes you queasy?" she asked politely.
Alison smiled leaning against the table on her elbows "I'm not sure. I haven't been game enough to eat much." Emily pottered around the kitchen thinking of what she could do with the various edibles in Alison's fridge and pantry. Deciding to make them both a simple sandwich as to not upset Alison's nausea.
"Em?"
"Hmm."
"What do you want me to do?"
"About what?..."
"About our situation." replied taking a small bite out of the ham sandwich Emily placed in front of her. Emily swallowed uneasily.
"It's not my decision Ali ...Its yours."
"No Em. Its our decision." Alison corrected her as the bruentte took up residence opposite her at the table. Alison had been stewing about this baby for a week and how it was now and always had been Emily's baby and not hers with her dead con man of a husband. Truth be told the minute she found out it was Emily's she felt a little relieved. The thought of a little Emily growing inside her didn't make her cringe or want to throw up half as much.
"Its your body Ali." Emily countered.
"But its your baby!"
For a moment both of them were silent. Taking in each others words. this truly was a situation unlike anything -A, Uber A or life in general had thrown at them before. "It has to be your call Em."
Emily nodded in understanding "Ok ...i want you to keep the baby." At the brunette words a flicker of fear and realization swept across Alison's face. Emily noted she sucked in her bottom lip biting down on it. "I'd help you. We'd do it together." she said quickly squeezing her hand. Alison squeezed her hand back. Her chest rose with an intake of breath. "Then its settled. I have the baby."
Emily face beamed "We can do this Ali. Together."
Alison smiled when Emily left her chair and walked around the table to hug her. "Besides I can't deny the world a chance at having a little Emily Fields walking this earth." she joked.
"Thankyou."
"There's still a lot to talk about." Alison said "Where would it live? Would we move in together? What we be? What will people say about two women raising a baby together?"
Emily released the blonde and sat back down. "Who cares what people will say."
"I guess its you and me then." the blonde replied interlocking her fingers with the brunettes as they continued to hold hands.
