Can you please write a review so I know if its any good and if people are liking it. Thanks

And to those that have, thank you for your support. I'm liking where this is going and have some good ideas and story lines. So if people keep loving it then I'll keep going. And yes AsaMoritz I am from Australia. Thought it would be a good twist to have someone smart in with these girls lol.

I woke up at about 3.30 to Sophie thrashing her head back and forth and crying calling out for her dad, "Hey Soph, wake up" I tried shaking her shoulders but she was stuck in her dream

"DAD NOOO!" she screamed and woke herself up, it took her a few seconds to realise she was in my room "Em?" she whispered

"Right here" I say, pulling her in for a hug "you just had a nightmare, you'll be fine" I was on my side facing her when she rolled over, our faces just mere inches apart.

"How do you do it?" she asks me

"Do what?" Try not to pull you close and kiss you when you're in my bed, this close to me because you've had a horrible day? I don't know but somehow I am.

"We'll you guys go through all this stuff with A, I mean like 3 weeks ago you were almost cut in two and here you are everyday still smiling and laughing? I know A had nothing to do with my dad but I'm guessing that today wasn't your first time in the waiting room."

"We've all had our fair share of waiting room and emergency visits but we just keep on going. You find all the good things in your life and put them at the top of your list. There are moments where the bad out way the good but the fact that there is still some good keeps us sticking around. Plus over the years it's become more about needing to know who is torturing us so we can have some closer, when this first all started we all wanted to run away and hide, but then we wanted answers. I think if we had all ran away or made our parents move we would be wondering for the rest of our lives so it's good we stuck around" I said truthfully, "I got over being scared long ago, sure there are moments, like almost being sawn in half, or any of the times one of the girls have been seriously hurt, I'm mainly just angry now, angry that this person is too chicken to just come on out from behind a letter." I looked up and noticed I was playing with her hair, she didn't seem to mind so I kept doing it

"You're a strong woman Emily Fields. I'm glad you never ran away, then I wouldn't have of met you" she looked up into my eyes and I felt like I was home, here in her arms, talking at 3am and having her look at me that way. I must've paused too long and she smiled, closed her eyes then fell back asleep.

"I'm glad I met you too Sophie Williams" and I closed my eyes, with a smile on my face and hand in her hair.

I woke up at 7 the next morning and realised we had gone from cuddling to spooning, me being the big spoon, and tried to roll out of bed without waking her, which was a hard task because she was sleeping on my arm. After about 5 minutes I managed to get it free and went to the bathroom, got ready then went and cooked some breakfast. I walked into my room to see her sprawled out over my bed, hair all over my pillows and her shit had come up and I could see her stomach, I almost dropped the plate of food I had for her seeing her like that.

"Soph, wake up" I said when I got over to her

"Hm? Whats the time?" she said in one, if not the, most sexiest sleepy voices I've ever heard

"It's about 7.30. I thought you should eat something. You hardly touched your tea last night I figured you would be hungry about now." I put the plate of food in front of her

"mm, in 5 more minutes, your bed is so comfy" she curled up some more

"I also made coffee" I put it under her nose so she could smell

"Coffee!" her eyes snapped open and she smiled and took the cup from me, "coffee and breakfast is definitely in my top 5 ways of being woken up. You're gonna make some chick very happy one day" she smiled and took a sip and I just blushed.

"Top 5?" I questioned

"Yea, top 5. If you're lucky enough you'll find out about the other 3" she gave me a cheeky smile and a wink and went back to her breakfast.

"So.. uhm.. visiting hours start at 8.30 so that means the girls will get here at about 8" I say, trying to get the images of what her other 3 could be out of my head.

"Ok cool, do you mind if I take a shower when I'm finished here?" she smiled, pretty sure she knew what I was thinking, it must've been written all over my face.

"Nah go ahead. I'll just be downstairs if you need me" and then for some reason I went over and gave her a kiss on the forehead.

About 15 minutes later the girls rocked up and I was standing in the kitchen just day dreaming into the fridge. I got pulled out of other ways I could be waking Sophie up by fingers clicking in front of my face "Em! World to Em." Hanna clicked away

"Oh, hey guys" I say, hoping for it to not look like I was just in the middle of a sex dream

"Where were you, we been standing here for like 5 minutes" Spencer asked

"Oh you know, just trying to memorise what I need to get from the store. Mum and Dad have gone away to visit the grandparents and left me some money" which wasn't totally a lie, that's what I was doing before I saw eggs and eggs reminded me of breakfast and breakfast reminded me of.. well yea.

"So how's Sophie today?" Aria asked

"Good, she's up in the shower at the moment" I said

"Ok, you are looking very well today Miss Fields, very refreshed." Spencer said looking at me

"Um thanks? Guess I just had my first decent sleep since the Paige thing" I said before realising the girls would probably go to the place I just was and when I looked at them they all had smiles a quizzical looks on their faces.

"How are you with the whole break up and stuff?" Aria asked and by stuff she meant not going to Stanford, which they knew was my dream and how much it hurts me, so they don't mention it

"Actually not too bad. I've finally realised that my future plans have to change. No Stanford, no fluffy pink drapes, no Paige, no swimming so I've decided just to see where the road takes me. I'll apply for a bunch of schools and see which one I get into and I've been thinking I might get into physiotherapy, help other injured sports people out." I said, not having realised I actually had thought of doing that till this very second.

"That's great news Em. If you want some help with some college applications I'll help" Spencer said and I already knew she was thinking of things to put in my college essay but I didn't think for long when out of the corner of my eye I noticed movement. I turned around and saw Sophie, fresh from the shower in sweat pants and a hoodie, her hair wet and brushed and smiling at us.

"Wow.. hmm. I mean hey, how was your shower?" I blushed, hoping the wow wasn't out loud but by the looks of the girls faces it was.

"Amazing. The shower we have at home has like no pressure so it was good to finally have some." She then looked at the other girl who were all still smiling, except Hanna "What? Is there something in my hair?" she ran to the mirror to look

"No its not that, I'm just hating you right now because it's so unfair" Hanna joked

"What?"

"The fact that you have just had a shower, your hair is still wet, you're in your sweats, with no makeup on and you look amazing. Seriously if I was gay you would be in big trouble right about now" she laughed

"If you were gay it wouldn't matter, you're not exactly my type" she quickly looked over to me then looked back into the mirror. My heart started racing, man I've got to get some courage, she's been throwing me signals all night and day and I just stand here like a lost puppy but before I could do anything Aria turned to her

"How exactly is your hair wet and still perfect?" she asked

"I dunno, just is. It dries straight so I don't really have to do anything to it if I don't want to." She shrugged.

"Bitch" I heard Hanna whisper

"What was that?" Sophie laughed

"Nothing, you ready to go? Visiting hours are soon." She smiled.

Sophies POV

I was sitting in the back of Spencers car looking around at the girls that have become really good friends to me and I realised I was very under dressed by their standard of sitting around in a hospital room. Spencer was wearing something my mother would but put a nice belt on it to make it look younger, Hanna was wearing something that looked like it came straight out of a magazine, Aria wore… I don't even know how to describe it, she had animal print tights, red and black striped top, a big owl necklace and feather earrings then I looked over to Emily who looked the most comfiest out of the lot in her jeans, leather jacket and flannel print shirt underneath.

I was pretty sure I was falling for her but I'm not sure how she feels, whenever I throw a hint at her she just stands there. I see it doing something to her though which makes me a bit happier, it's all in her eyes, the arousal, love or shock from what I just said it's there In her eyes and I can see what it's doing to her but I don't want to start anything with her till I know she's over Paige, I don't want to be the rebound. I was shaken from my thinking by my phone going off, I look at the ID and its my mum

"Hey mum, what's up?"

"I'm coming over. I've booked a ticket and I should be there about midday tomorrow afternoon" she said, it sounded like she was packing in the background.

"Mum, you don't have to do that. It'll cost you a shit load, Grans will be here soon and dad's all in the clear." I frowned at the girls who were smiling at me

"Yes I do, I'm not letting my baby girl go through this all by her lonesome. Pick me up from the Philadelphia airport at 12. Love you see you then"

"Yea love you too" I said before she hung up "Alright what's so funny?" I asked, all the girls started laughing

"You know, we just get use to your accent then you talk to your mother and it gets about 10 times thicker" Emily said

"Yea talking to her does that too me, I can even hear it after I get off Skype with my friends. And now you all know how I feel, everyone over here has an accent to me. It's only fair" I laughed and for some reason I put my hand on Emily's thigh, she just smiled and put her hand in mine all the way till we got to the hospital.

About 20 minutes later I got to see dad and my eyes immediately filled with tears. He looked a bit better than yesterday but still looked bad. He had all these machines around him and he was sleeping. The girls had waited it the waiting room and I just sat there and watch him sleep. After about 15 minutes he woke up. "Hey there sweetness" he smiled and tried to sit up a bit more "how are you today?"

"I'm doing a lot better now that you're awake. How are you? How are you feeling?" I asked concerned

"I'm actually doing alright. It hurts, but hey I'm alive and that's the main thing" he smiled "so did you get any sleep last night? I know you would've spent the night worrying about me" he said and I kind of felt guilty for having the best sleep ever.

"Yea, I stayed at Emily Fields house because I didn't want to be alone. I cried so much yesterday that I was that tired I passed out as soon as my head hit the pillow. I had a nightmare about you though but she calmed me down and went back to sleep again." He gave me a smile and laughed.

"I never would've thought that if I got shot those girls would be in the waiting room the whole time. Are they here? I want to thank them for looking after you" I was surprised but not as much as the girls were when I went and got them. We all huddled back into the little room and dad tried to sit up a bit more "I know over the last couple of years we all haven't got along but I want to thank you for being there for my baby when she needed it" he said sincerely

"Thats not a problem Captain, she's our friend and we are always there for our friends" Spencer said

"I think after this you can call me Eric. But please let me finish, for being there for her I want to be there for you." The girls gave him a weird look so he continued "From here on out I'm extending you an olive branch, if you are ever in trouble I personally will come get you, or if its soon an I still can't do much I'll send someone I trust the most, no record or questions asked. I'll get Soph to give you my mobile number in case of that emergency and you can call me directly"

They all looked at him wearily "thanks Captain, I mean Eric but that's not necessary; we were just being good friends" Emily said

"Well now I'm being a friend. Ring me; don't ring me. It's completely your choice but you have my word and I'm a man who stands by that."

"Well then thanks. We better get going to school anyway. We were just staying in case Sophie needed anything, but now you're awake I think she's got everything she needs" Emily said "Hope you get better soon and Soph," she turned to me "if you need anything just text us, if not text me anyway" she smiled and after the girls said their goodbyes they headed off.

The rest of the day was good, my grandparents rocked up at about 10 and started fussing over him and once they were done with him they started on me "you look too thin dear, have you been eating?" my grandmother asks and my dad laughs

"Her? Not Eating? I'd love to see the day" we all laughed. It was good to catch up with them again, I hadn't seen them in person for about 8 years but we talked a lot on the phone, in letters and emails. They told me about their retirement and how they are travelling the world, Canada was their last stop before coming home. I caught them up on my life, told them about my new school, new friends, new job, how I was liking it over here and Dad has started to fall asleep until I mentioned that mum was coming over

"She is? When?" he asked in surprise but had a bit of something else in his voice. Was that excitement?
"She gets on a plane in about 3 hours and will be here tomorrow about lunch time. I'm going to pick her up from Philly" I said

"Ok, she can take the guest bedroom that's next to your room if she wants and you guys" turning to grans "can take the one that's next to mine." He smiled

"I don't know why you ever let that one go" my grandpa said to him "she was a catch and you just watched her get onto a plane, taking your daughter with her"

"Not now Dad, not in front of Sophie" my father warned him

"No Dad, please? I've always wanted to know and I use to ask Mum a lot when I was younger but she always changed the subject. I just gave up after a while" I looked over to him, hoping he'd see the sadness in my eyes.

"Fine. I hope she doesn't kill me for this. You probably wouldn't remember this because you were only so little but your mother was about 6 months pregnant and she lost the baby, she blamed herself and we could never get back on track after that. I let her go thinking that she just needed some time, be with her family, then she would come back but she never did" I was shocked, she never mentioned that at all and what hurt more was seeing all the hurt and sadness in my fathers eyes.

"I thought it was just natural causes?" my grandmother asked

"It wasn't, Sophie got really sick around that time because Maddy hadn't realised she'd ran out into the backyard to play in the snow and I had to work so it left 6 month pregnant Maddy to care for her on her lonesome. She was down stairs cooking up some chicken soup when Soph cried out for her so she quickly ran up the stairs and slipped and landed on her stomach. If it wasn't for our neighbour seeing her fall through the window then hearing her cries, she would've been stuck there until I finished work. I don't blame Maddy, I blame myself. I shouldn't have gone into work, I should've been a good parent and stayed with my wife and child." He started crying and me and grams went and gave him a hug. We sat in silence for about an hour until dad's boss came in wanting to talk to him in private. My grandparents were going to go back to our house to put their stuff away and I just needed some fresh air but didn't want to be alone, I looked at the time and figured Emily should be finished school by now Hey, wanna come give me some company? I'll be out the front of the hospital, need some air. I text her, she replied saying she'll be right there.

In no less that 5 minutes she rocked up and saw the look on my face "Hey whats wrong? Is your dad ok?" she said pulling me in for a hug, I just hugged her back re telling her the story dad just told me.

"And all I kept thinking it was neither of their faults, it was mine. If I hadn't ran out into the snow, if I hadn't gotten sick I could have a brother or a sister, they would be 15 by now and probably here with me, my family wouldn't have separated and I would've known my dad better" I started crying into her shoulder

"Hey its not your fault either. Aren't you the one that tells us that life takes you where you are meant to go? When you ran out into the snow, you didn't know what was to follow, you were just a 2 year old excited and wanted to make a snowman. There's nothing wrong with that." She pulled me back and looked into my eyes "what happened wasn't you fault or theirs and theres nothing you can do to change it, but just think that there is a little baby up there somewhere looking down on you."

I smiled and pulled her in for another hug, she always had a way to make me feel better "Thanks Em, anyway lets get my mind off this, what's happening with A? Figured anything out yet?" I said and sat down next to her the bench.

"Well Spencer has gone super Spence on this, she's figured out a few things and it's getting us a bit closer but it seems we've come to a dead end and you wouldn't believe it but Hanna has come up with some good theories that we are going to look into." She laughed. We chatted for a little bit longer and I started to feel better, I looked over to her and her hair was laying over her shoulders, her smile took up her whole face and I just couldn't help myself. I leaned in and kissed her, I thought I might've done something wrong because she stiffened up but after the initial shock wore off she kissed back. I pulled away for a second and saw her smiling "you know before when you said to Dad that now he's awake I have everything I need?" she nodded looking into my eyes "I didn't then, but now I do" and went back in for another kiss, feeling her smile against my lips.
