That morning Daniel woke up feeling like someone had punched his head, he soon remembered last night's events when he realised that Emily was lying in his arms. For the first time ever Daniel had woken up before her, she was snuggled up against his chest and her golden locks were splayed on her back, she looked so peaceful and vulnerable, a way he had never seen her before. He gently traced the outline of her face with his finger causing her to wake up, he cursed himself for doing so as he liked watching her asleep, her deep brown orbs fluttered open but then she closed them and groaned probably because of the hangover. At first she was a bit confused but as soon as she realised where she was she detangled herself from Daniel.

''We didn't...''

''Oh we did.'' It took them a minute to let what they did sink in.

''What's the time?'' Emily asked while searching for her cell phone.

''It's 10:40.'' She found her phone and saw at least 2 missed calls from Nolan and remembered that she had forgot to tell him that she was out of the hospital.

''Oh crap!'' She hopped off the bed and scanned the room for her clothes, most of them were behind the counter.

''What's wrong?''

''I forgot to tell Nolan that i got out of the hospital.'' She said while putting her clothes back on.

''About last night...'' Emily cut him off.

''We were drunk, we weren't thinking clearly.''

''Exactly so can we pretend last night didn't happen?''

''Yeah i was thinking the same thing.''

''Great.''

''Gotta go, i'll see you when i see you Daniel.''


"Emily where the hell have you been? Do you even know how much me and your father have been worried?" Nolan said to her as she walked into his door.

''Calm down Nolan i just spent the night at a hotel.''

''I guess what i really should be asking is who were you with.'' Emily froze, confused as to how he found out.

"..How?"

"The hickey kind of gives it away Ems." Nolan took out a small mirror and handed it to her, once she saw the hickey she gasped. Damn it Daniel. She muttered while readjusting her hair so that it covered it, unfortunately Nolan heard perfectly and his jaw practically hit the ground.

"DANIEL?!'' Emily immediately silenced him with one of her deadly looks, they then heard footsteps coming in their direction from the kitchen, that's when Nolan remembered that he wasn't alone in the house.

''What's going on?" David said as he approached them.

"Dad, what are you doing here." That was a very good question, after he came back to the beach house Victoria came in, she tried to apologise but at that time he wasn't in the mood to hear whatever she had to say so he decided to spend the night here instead,

"That's not important right now. Where were you?''

''I spent the night at a hotel, what's the big deal?''

''You should have called, we thought something happened to you.''

''Well i'm fine and i can take care of myself.''

''Not in the state you are in right now.'' Her father was right and she knew it so she stayed silent and he continued.

''Now i made breakfast, you should have some.''

''Not hungry.''

''I made blueberry pancakes.'' David said as he started walking back to the kitchen.

''Okay then i'll have some.'' Nolan smirked at the interaction between father and daughter, he might not know anything about his daughter now but he still knows how to convince her to do something.


6 weeks later...

Emily stretched out her left arm, glad that it was finally cured after weeks of healing, so much had happened in that time, the whole world found out about what Malcolm Black was up to but before they could arrest him he committed suicide. While she was painting on her easel she felt nauseous and had to run to the nearest trash can to empty her stomach contents, although initially she was a bit worried she decided to go walk on the beach to get some fresh air and clear her head. At the beach she walked on the shore, the sound of the waves crashing was so sooving that it almost made her forget her problems, but then one of her problems walked up to her.

"Emily?" Daniel said looking concerned.

"Daniel, what are you doing here?"

"I came to see my mother, are you okay? You look kind of pale."

"I'm fine." Just as she said that she passed out, fortunately Daniel caught her in his arms.

"Emily!"

...

Daniel was sitting on a chair next to Emily's hospital bed, the doctors said that they were going to run a few tests on her blood to see if there was something wrong and in the meantime Daniel was just waiting for Emily to wake up, he had already called Nolan and knew that he was on his way but still he didn't feel like leaving her side yet. The last time he and Emily saw eachother was 6 weeks ago, he wasn't quite yet sure how he had been able to avoid her for all this time but if there was one thing he was sure of it was that he hadn't been able to stop thinking about her. Pretending that what happened between them never happened was easier said than done in his case, because in the end she was never going to be just anyone for him. He watched her silently as she slept, she had this smile on her face, it was the only in her sleep that she ever looked completely at peace. Finally her eyes opened and she looked slightly confused.

"Why am i in the hospital?"

"You fainted while we were talking on the beach so i took you here. You've been out for an hour or so."

"Thank you for worrying about me but i feel a lot better now..." The doctor came in holding a folder.

"Miss Thorne i see you're awake now.''

"Yes i'm feeling a lot better now.''

"Good and your blood tests results are back and i don't know if you were aware but you are pregnant with twins.'' Emily and Daniel both froze to the spot.

''What?'' Emily said interrupting the silence.

''You are 6 weeks along.'' Daniel then knew without fail that the babies were his but Emily still couldn't believe it so the doctor brought a monitor inside the room to show her.

''This is going to feel a little cold.'' The monitor light up and the doctor pointed at two dots.

''You see those two small dots? They are your babies.'' Emily looked at the screen with a mixture of amazement and fear.

''Are they okay?'' Daniel asked the doctor who looked happy to see some reaction from him.

''From what i can tell right now they are healthy but i can prescribe you with some medication that will help you with the nausea.''

Emily simply nodded so the doctor went out of the room, Daniel didn't even bother asking whether she already knew as it was obvious from her reaction that this was news to her too. Part of her was really happy since she always wanted to have a family, but she was really scared because they were Daniel's babies and also she didn't know the first thing about being a mother. Suddenly Emily received a text from Nolan telling her that he would pick her up from the hospital if she wanted to, this made her feel relieved because she needed time to think by herself without Daniel.

''Nolan's picking me up.'' Emily said as she picked up her clothes and headed for the toilet.

''Okay but what are we going to do about the twins?'' Her heart softened when he said twins.

''Come by my place tonight, we'll discuss things then.''

Daniel went back in his car and he took this deep breath, he was going to be a father, there was no doubt about it this time he even saw them. But he was well aware that was not going to be easy, he didn't even know if Emily wanted them, he took a picture out of his pocket, it was of the ultrasound which the doctor kindly gave to him before he left. Daniel remembered that he was supposed to go see his mother but he decided to send her a message telling her that he would see her tomorrow instead of today, he knew she'd be pissed about his last minute change of plans but he simply did not care, he didn't even want to see her in the first place and he needed time to process everything.


Nolan was driving Emily back to her house, she had been quiet for most of the ride, Nolan wanted to question her about the reason she was in the hospital yet again but he could tell that she wasn't ready to talk. She looked upset, confused, panicked and worried. Which was really strange because usually she was really good at masking these emotions but the fact that she didn't even bother to cover it up made him worried as hell. Once they got inside and she sat down Nolan couldn't contain himself anymore.

''Okay Ems you're killing me, you've gotta tell me what happened.'' She took a sip of water and looked at him.

''Do you remember 6 weeks ago, after i got out of the hospital i slept with Daniel?''

''Oh yeah, he gave you that hickey.''

''Yeah, well when i went to the hospital they told me that i'm pregnant. With twins.'' For a moment Nolan was left speachless.

''You're pregnant! Ems this is huge. And with twins?'' She nodded and showed him the ultrasound picture which she was given too.

''What are you going to do? You're not going to...'' She could see where he was headed.

''No! I could never do something like that!'' Of all the awful things she did, she could never get rid of her own flesh and blood.

''Does Danny boy know?''

''He was with me when i found out.''

''What are you going to do?''

''I'm going to have them and keep them.''

''What about Daniel?''

''I don't know...it's just that i don't trust him. What if he becomes like his father?''

''We both know that Daniel isn't like him. Look i don't blame you for not trusting him completely but you need to keep in mind that he's still the father, and he did try to save your life. All i'm saying is that you should at least give him a chance.''

I know right, Demily baby so clichè (well it's actually babies). But since my ship is dead i don't really care. In the next chapter you will see some VictoriaxDavid interaction, and maybe some scenes with Victoria and Emily.

Oh and i wanted to thank everyone for the reviews.
