Chapter 10: Life Decisions
Emily's POV
I walk up to darkness around the room, I look around to see where I am and this place looks familiar.
"Guys, I can't see shit." I hear Hanna say in fear.
"Guys shut up." I groan trying to go back to sleep.
"Em, A shut the lights off." Aria comes over and shakes me awake.
"Not so hard Aria." I say sitting up.
"You okay?" Spencer asked me softly.
"I need something for my head, fuck it hurts." I hold my head and feel the some liquid. I know its blood.
"We have to get you to the hospital Emily." Mona say cuddling into me.
"I know baby. Not know." I lay on her lap and rub her belly. All of a sudden the lights comes back on.
"Finally." Aria says getting up walking over to the sink. We Caleb walking in with bags.
"Here Emily." Toby hands me a rag.
"Thanks." I take and place it over my face.
"What's that?" I asked Caleb pointing to the bags.
"Some food." He takes the food out.
"Spence, you have some Aleve?" Hanna asked laying down.
"Yeah." Spencer runs upstairs and comes back.
"Baby, you okay?" Mona moves the rag away from my face.
"I will be. How's my baby?" I asked dozing off.
"Fine." Mona smiles rubbing my abs.
"What are you guys having anyway?" Caleb asked as he eats his sandwich.
"I want a girl." I say and they all look at me.
"You do? I always thought you wanted a boy." Hanna says taking half of Caleb's sandwich.
"I did, but I want a girl though. I know you would get her into the fashion shit." I say to her.
"Damn right, that's my little niece or nephew." Hanna smiles.
"Hey Em, I knitted some socks for the baby." Aria says taking the socks out of her purse.
"Wow, Aria. Those are beautiful." Mona says taking them.
"I'm glad you like them." Aria says.
"Are you feeling better now Emily?" Mona presses the rag on my wound.
"Yeah, let's go home." I say standing up.
"Are you sure baby?" Mona asked as I help her stand up.
"Yeah, see you guys tomorrow." I say heading out with Mona. I help Mona into the car and drive to my house, when I pull up at my house I help her out and we head inside. My mom is not home so she and my dad might be on a date. Speaking of which, me and Mona need to go on one. I head up to my room and lay down. I feel the bed dip, and I look up to see Mona.
"I'm sorry Em." She says running her fingers through my hair.
"Me too babe." I fall asleep.
….
Hanna's POV
I walk downstairs and I see my dad in the kitchen. What is he doing here?
"Dad, what are you doing here?" I asked him.
"Well, Kate is starting to go to Rosewood High today." He blurts out. Huh?
"What?!" I scream in anger. There's no way I'm helping Kate around today.
"Hanna…" My dad steps close to me.
"No, I'm not helping her. You can't make me." I say grabbing my purse.
"She's your sister Hanna!" My dad yells following me out of the kitchen.
"No! We're not even Blood related! She doesn't like me and I hate her. You can't make us be sister's dad. I'm not accepting her into my life! So fuck off!" I open the door and slam it. I get into the car with Emily and Mona. I sigh angrily pulling out my phone texting Caleb. Emily pulls up at school, we were about to head in, but a voice stops us.
"Hanna?" I hear Kate call out.
"Hey Kate." I greet.
"You think you could help me out?" She asked.
"I'm meeting Caleb actually. It's uh, important." I say quickly.
"I'll show her around." Mona said fake smiling.
"Thanks Mona." I kiss her cheek.
"Actually we'll both show her." Emily nudges me.
"Thanks to you both." I kiss Emily's cheek as well and rush off to Caleb. 2 hours has passed and it's lunch time. I see all of my friends looking at me.
"What?" I asked sighing.
"You want to tell us why Kate is here?" Aria asked eating her pasta.
"My dad is moving back here and now I have to deal with my evil stepmother and my evil stepsister." I poke my burger.
"Hanna, she's your sister y'know?" Emily says giving me a look.
"Emily, I hate her. Ever since she did that liquor thing at my dad's party, I've hated her even more." I say growling at the fact Kate is here.
"Want me to cut her?" Mona asked giving me that evil look.
"No, no cutting babe." Emily says throwing a fry at my forehead.
"Stop throwing your food at me." I groan.
"Hanna, you need to talk to your dad about this, I mean he can't force you to make good with Kate." Spencer says typing on her phone.
"What about you and Jason?" Aria raises a brow.
"Everytime I try to talk with him he dodges me. I mean that hurts when your own sibling doesn't want to talk to you, I know we have difference with our families, but I was caught in the middle of all of their bullshit. I'm innocent in this and so is Melissa, that's because our parents kept this away from us for years." Spencer shakes her head in anger.
"I'll talk to him." Emily says cracking her knuckles.
"Are you going to hit him?" Spencer's eyes widen.
"I just might. He's your brother Spencer. One day he's going to need you if he falls off the rails again. Remember that happened a month ago? He was at your doorstep crying his fucking eyes out. Jessica and Ken wouldn't even let him into the house." Emily spits.
"She's right Spence, Jason shouldn't be dodging after what you did for him." I say agreeing with Emily, Spencer has every right to talk to Jason.
"Be my guest Em." Spencer says sighing. We continue to eat lunch until it was time to go. I hope the rest of the day goes smoothly.

Aria's POV
I'm over Ezra's cooking for him, I know he's hand a long day at work and I wanted to do something special for him. I love him so much, we've been through a lot. I hear the door open, I look to see Ezra walking in.
"Hey babe." He smiles coming over to kiss me.
"Hey." I continue to stir the sauce.
"Smells good." He wraps his arms around my waist.
"Thanks, my mom gave me the recipe." I turn the stove off. I have to tell Ezra, what I found out after school today. I'm a bit worried.
"How's Emily and Mona?" He looks up from his newspaper.
"She's fine, Emily's a little banged up, but she's okay. Mona and the baby is fine too." I tell her.
"That's good. Oh what about a baby shower?" He stands up.
"Damn, we need to ask them about that." I pour the sauce into a bowl.
"Yeah, we do." He nods taking out some tea.
"Ezra, there's something I have to tell you." I put the pot into the sink.
"What is it?" He looks at me with a frown. I walk into the bathroom and grab something.
"I'm pregnant Ezra." I hand him the stick. I hope he's going to be happy about this.
"We're having a baby?" He starts to cry.
"Yeah, we are." I nod wiping his tears away.
"We're having a baby." He sobs.
"We're going to be parents' baby." I laugh happily.
…
Mona's POV
I'm sitting in the living room watching TV, I hear knock on my door. I go to open and it's my dad.
"Dad?" I frown at him.
"Hey cupcake." He greets happily, why is he here? I haven't seen my dad in months. Now he's back.
"What are you doing here?" I asked curiously. Did my mom know about him coming back?
"I'm just in town for a bit, so I just stopped by to see you. Can we talk?" He asked hopefully. He really hasn't been here for me.
"Yeah." I nod letting him in, I close the door and walk back into the living room.
"How have you been?" He asked sitting down in a chair.
"Fine, I'm having a baby." I tell him.
"Wait what? You're too young for a child Mona." He says making a face.
"Are you judging me? Look, mom doesn't even know that you're here, so if you're going to start judging me you can get out pop." I point to the door with no problem.
"What's his name?" My dad crosses his arms.
"Her name is Emily, and that's all I'm giving you. She's an intersex before you start asking how she got me pregnant. Now please leave." I walk over to the door and open it.
"Mona, you can't have this baby." He says.
"Dad, I'm going to have my child. You can't stop me." I push him out and slam the door shut locking it. I hear my dad leave my doorstep. I have to tell my mom he's back.
…
Spencer's POV
I just came back from Toby's house, Toby is having a hard time figuring out on why Maya was doing what she was doing. Toby said that she's locked up right now. It must be hard for Emily right now. I walk up to my door and see Alex standing there.
"Alex?" He looks up at me with a smile.
"Hey Spencer." He waves walking over to me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked him.
"Oh, I just came back for a tennis thing. We're having a tournament here in Rosewood." He explains.
"Cool. I hope you win." I smile at him.
"Spencer, I was wondering if you and the girls would like to come to a party." He hands me an invitation.
"What's this party for?" I frown at him.
"It's for high school seniors. I got some friends here who decided they wanted to throw one." He shrugs.
"I'll talk to the girls and see if they want to come." I walk up to my door.
"Cool, I'll see you later then." He leaves. I walk into my house and place my things on the counter top. I could ask Jason If he could talk to him.
…
Emily's POV
I walk into the woods after receiving a text from Maya. I know it was her, I see her sitting on a rock. I walk over to her.
"Hey." I stick my phone back into my pocket.
"Hey." She smiles slightly.
"They let you free, I see." I stick my hands into my pockets.
"Yeah, I told them I was leaving Rosewood. I'm Emily, I had to do what I was told to do. I'm going to San Francisco with some friends." She picks up her bag.
"Maya, I'm sorry. I'll always have love for you but…" I tried to explain.
"Mona. You love her." She smiles.
"Yeah, I do. I have a child on the way and Mona won my heart over." I shrug.
"Good Luck Em." She walks up to me and kisses my cheek.
"You too Maya. Text me when you land." I say turning to look at her.
"I will. Bye Em." Maya leaves the woods. I wish her the best of luck, I can't even imagined trying to kill someone because of A. I leave the woods and head over to Mona's. I get out of my car and climb up her window. I knock on it.
"Em? What the hell?" She asked when she opens the window.
"Hey baby." I climb inside.
"I do have a door." She laughs.
"Not romantic." I take off my jacket and hang it up.
"What's up baby?" She wraps her arms around my neck.
"Well, I wanted to know about us having a baby shower." I go over to her bed and fall on it.
"Well, we don't know the gender yet." She says laying on my shoulder.
"I know we're having a girl. We can go to the doctor tomorrow." I tell her rubbing her belly.
"What about College? What about us moving out on our own?" She looks up at me.
"I'll handle that, I got a text this morning from the dean at UCLA." I go over to my jacket and pull out my phone.
"Really? What did they say?" She asked happily.
"They saw the video Aria recorded and they offered me a full on ride baby." I show her the text.
"Em, that's so great baby." She hugs me.
"There's more. I told them about us, and they decided to offer me a job, but we'll have to move right after graduation." I tell her.
"Babe, I got this is the mail." She goes over to her dresser and pulls out a letter.
"What's that?" I asked.
"It's from UCLA. I got a full on ride too. Apparently, you sent in my transcripts." She looks at me with a raised brow.
"I did. I asked Lucas for his help. I want us to be together Mona, and I want our child to be there with us. We have to get out of here and get away from A. We're not bringing out child into this world with A still around." I take her hand and began to stroke it.
"You're right. What about your mom? Have you told her any of this?" She asked me.
"No, I will tomorrow after I take you out on a date." I say smiling at her.
"Sounds good." She nods leaning into me.
"I know this is hard on you, but thanks for having my baby." I put my forehead onto hers.
"I'll have a lot more of your babies Emily." She giggles.
"Thank you." I hug her.
"And Alison?" She breaks the silence after a while.
"I'll have to talk to her about that. I need to know, but if she's been lying to me, I'm going the fuck off." I spit on angrily.
"Oh, me too." She lays down clutching her belly.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Yeah, your daughter or Son is moving around a lot." She raises her shirt up showing off her 4 month belly.
"Wow." I start to place kisses on her belly.
"I love you Em." She strokes my hair.
"I love you more Mona." I say to her. I really do love Mona, and I want to spend the rest of my life with her. I know we haven't been together that long, but I want her to be mine. Maybe, I should buy her a ring for commitment.
