So here this is. I have the next chapter written, but it is a little shorter and very different. It will be from the liar's point of view, not Hanna and Emily. I need at least three reviews before I post it. That is the good news, the bad news is that I will be slower in typing these up in the next few weeks. I have a major Spanish research paper to do and tons of Spanish homework. I know I am a procrastinator. SO I will be working on that, but I know I won't stay away, I just can't do as much.


Emily's POV

It has been almost a week since Hanna came back into my life. I was so thankful to see her standing on the other side of that door, not even a week ago. I think her staying with me was a good idea, but I may be slightly biased. We have been able to reconnect and become friends again. Well friends that occasionally have long make out sessions and end up falling asleep cuddling each other, every night this week. We have decided that taking our relationship slow is best for us right now, since we are re-learning each other.

I am also thankful that I have met Riley. She literally is the bright light of all the –A stuff that has happened throughout these years. She is so similar to her mom in so many ways, and we have bonded over the last week. She always wakes up right as I am getting home from my run, it is like she has a GPS on me. We end up making breakfast together and eating in front of the TV.

This week flew by, and Hanna wasn't ready for it to end. She still has it in her head that one of the girls are going to hate her and I know they don't. They miss her as much as I did, well for different reasons, but still. They will love seeing her and meeting the little girl, I know I did.

Hanna's POV

I was so nervous, the girls had just called Emily and had met up together at the airport. Emily decided that this was the perfect time to tell me her plan.

"So Riley and I will be back with dinner. The girls should be here within 5 minutes, and I will see you later." She gave me a quick kiss before picking up Riley. "Wave at Mama." She tells her and Riley follows suit, before walking out the door. I am pacing the floor, so nervous, I don't know what to expect from the girls that I left so long ago.

After a few minutes I hear someone knock on the door and look out the peep hole. Standing there are 3 people that I haven't seen in forever, and I felt like I was going to throw up. I guess I stood there too long, because they started knocking again.

I finally got the courage to open the door and three jaws drop.

Aria is the first to recover, "Han…Hanna?" All I can do is nod. I forgot how much I missed these girls and I don't trust my voice at the moment.

Before I know it I am wrapped in a hug, it was Spencer. She was hugging me tightly and started whispering in my ear, "You better never leave again." She was crying and that made me lose it. Before I knew it, all three of them had me in a group hug and for once in such a long time, I felt that they didn't hate me.

"Why did you stay gone for so long?" Spencer asks me and I frown at her.

"I was sure how you guys were going to react to seeing me." Spencer frowns at me as I say that.

"Why would you think it would be bad?" She questions after a few seconds.

"I wasn't there when you guys needed me the most. Usually when I was there, -A would have attacked me the night that you were attacked, had I been there. You wouldn't have gotten hurt. You should hate me." I finally let the guilt out that I had been holding in for as long as I can remember.

"NO." Spencer says firmly. "I was glad it was me that was attacked, I didn't want any of you guys to get hurt. You did what all of us wished we had the courage to do. You left, and though none of us appreciate how you left, we are glad you got out." I frown at her.

"I didn't want you to get hurt either. When my mom told me, I almost came home to find you. I felt guilty, but I knew you would be upset if I would have come out of guilt." She smiles at that.

"Damn right." She whispers. "I just want to make sure you aren't leaving again. I don't think any of us, especially EM, could take it if you left out of the blue again, so please don't." She looks at me. "Don't break her heart again. She didn't tell us what all happened, but she was so broken when you left."

I nod. "I don't plan on leaving her for a long time. I didn't want to leave but I needed to get out. I…I have a daughter." I tell them. All three froze in shock. After a few minutes, I finally see all of them moving towards me and pull me into yet another group hug.

Emily's POV

I didn't know what to expect when I got home. Riley and I had gone and picked up some pizza from a small pizza joint about 15 minutes from my apartment. I wanted to give them enough time to talk, but not too much, in case something was wrong. We got back and I opened the door and saw all four of my friends wrapped in a hug and smiled.

"Well thanks for the invitation guys." I smirk as all of them look over to me and see the mini Hanna holding my hand.

"Is…Is that her?" Spencer asks and I see Hanna nodding.

"Spencer, Alison, Aria. Hi I am Riley." Riley says from where she is standing, and the three girl's faces are priceless in that moment.

"Did you guys tell her about us this week?" I shake my head. "How does she know our names?" Alison is confused as she asks.

"I didn't want her to go without knowing her awesome aunts." Hanna manages to get out before Aria pulls her into a hug.

"So you never forgot about us?" She asks from her side.

"Never. Like I said, I thought you guys would hate me for not being there." I frown at that until Spencer starts talking again.

"And we told you we don't hate you, so now no more secrets, and you can never leave us again."

I think about what she said, no secrets. I have kept a big secret from them since she left, we'll all of them accept Alison. When Ali got back, she asked me out, and I couldn't date her. It didn't seem right, I still knew I was in love with Hanna, and I wasn't going to play with Ali's feelings. I told her I couldn't be with her and she didn't understand. I finally broke down to her and told her everything. She understood and moved on of course, but she knew my secret.

"Em…EMILY" I snap out as I hear my name loudly.

"Sorry, What?" I say and they smile.

"Pizza, you ready?" Hanna has a small smile on her face.

"Yes. Let's go."

Hanna's POV

When Emily was day dreaming, we started talking about dinner. I really wanted to know what put the frown on Emily's face though. I didn't like seeing her sad.

Instead of worrying too much, I just make Riley and me a plate. I was trying to not be obvious about my feelings for Emily, because after Spencer's comment, I really don't know what the girls would do if they knew we were dating.

"Hey, Can I talk to you in my room?" Emily comes up behind me as I finish making our plates.

I smile and nod. I give Riley her food and walk with Emily into her room.

"Did it go okay?" She looks at me and I smile brightly.

"Yes, it went great. I shouldn't have worried as much as I did."

"Did you tell them about…US?" she has a slightly nervous look on her face and I don't know what to think.

"No." she frowns.

"Will you mind if we do. I know you aren't out yet completely. But like Spencer said, I don't want any secrets." She smiles a small smile at me.

"You want to tell them? Won't they judge you into jumping into this too fast?" I was nervous for her. I didn't want them to judge her.

"Honestly, I could care less. I want to be able to kiss you and cuddle you this weekend." She says before placing a soft kiss on my lips. I bring my hand up to cup her face and bring her into a deeper kiss.

I finally pull away, "I like that idea." She smirks at me before grabbing my hand and pulling me out with her. When we get to the kitchen we let go of each other's hand for the moment. I smile at her as she sits beside Riley and I sit in-between Spencer and Aria.

After dinner, we move into the living room to catch up. As Emily and Spencer ran to the store to pick up some wine and beer from the convenient store, I went and gave Riley a bath. Aria and Alison came with me, they seemed smitten with Riley already. They played with her as I got her stuff ready for bed. We planned on having some adult time, so I was putting Riley down a little earlier than usual. After Alison and Aria finished her bath, I got her and put her into bed. She wanted the girls to tell her a story, but they decided instead to sing to her, and she was out within minutes. We all walk downstairs just in time to see the girls coming back with their arms full of bags.

"So we decided to get some liquor while we were there, we are going to play some games to reacquaint ourselves to each other." Spencer says. I liked the idea, but I knew I couldn't get too drunk.

Emily walks over to me, "Drink tonight, I will get up with her in the morning. I want you to have fun. I only plan on drinking a couple glasses of wine tonight." She whispers near my ear, before biting it softly. She smirks at me, because I growl as she walks away.

We all sit on the floor in a circle and I am transported back to a time like this in Spencer's barn, with some stolen liquor. I smile at the memory, until I remember that is the last time that we were all together before today.

"Okay, so never have I ever?" Aria asks and Spencer nods.

"Never have I ever ran away from my friends." Spencer starts and Alison and I take a shot.

"Ouch Spencer." She smiles at her, "Never have I ever dated –A." she looks directly at Spencer. She takes a shot.

"Thanks Alison." She teases back. "Hanna?"

"Never have I ever had sex in the last 4 years." I smirk as everyone but myself takes a shot. Emily has told me about her line of one night stands after I left, because she was trying to get over me.

Aria was next, "Never have I ever kissed a girl." She says and everyone but her drink a shot. I smirk at Spencer when she looks at me.

"Okay, hold on. I know who the other two have kissed, but who have you kissed?" Spencer asks and I smirk at her. The shots were starting to get to me.

"I never kiss and tell." I tell her and I see Emily smiling from her seat.

"Never have I ever had sex with a guy?" Is Emily's question and all of groan as we all have to take another shot?

The game kept going around with stupid questions to over sexual questions. I was pretty wasted by this time, and I was glad that I saw that Emily only had a glass of wine with her.

"Never have I ever been in a relationship at the moment." Alison said starting to sound ridiculous, she was the drunkest out of all of us, so it made sense.

Spencer being the less drunk saw me take a shot as well as Emily. "Wait Em, when did you start dating someone?" She looked concerned.

I looked at Emily and her eyes confirmed that she was ready to do this. "We are dating." I say nonchalantly, "Who are you dating?"

"Don't change the subject. When did this happen?" Emily smiles

"Before she left, we had a moment. And then she was gone. She came last week to apologize and I still love her." I smile at the answer and I can see Alison smirking.

"Way to go Hanna. There is her ballsy women." Alison says and both of us blush.

"So who are you dating?" I ask Spencer. I knew Aria was with Ezra. But Emily wouldn't give me any answer on who Spence is dating.

"I don't think you will believe me when I tell you."

"Hit me with your best shot."

"Paige McCullers." She says and I nod at her,

"Good job, I am surprised" I tell her and she smiles.

"Well love is love and I love her." I smile at that, but soon look at Emily who is smiling at her.

"Well, I am glad you are happy." I tell her.

"Guys I think it is time to turn in. I have to be up before 8 in the morning." Emily says after a few minutes. They all nod and start heading to the guest room to change. I help her pull out the pull out couch and Spencer comes out after a few minutes.

"I am happy for you guys." She says after seeing us together. "I am staying out here, I want to talk to Paige tonight, and she has one of her last swim meets tomorrow." I smile at her and we walk hand and hand into Emily's room.

She kisses me as we walk into the room. "Thank you for coming back to me."
