DECRETIONAL SIN

A/N: Hey guys, it's been a while since my last update. I have been a bit caught up with life in general but had the time over the long weekend to get this chapter out. I have seen a few comebacks the past week and 'm glad to see the fandom still cheering for EMISON. The Perfectionists is just getting worse with Alison's storyline plus I think it's nowhere up the mark in comparison to the original series. But anyways I'm an Ali fan and I love to torture myself so I guess I'm still going watch it. Anyways, about this chapter there are a few new characters coming in, I think you're going love them.

Chapter 14

"What?" Emily was in shock. This day couldn't get any more worse. All the thinking and planning of getting her daughter back home safe flew out of the window. She couldn't believe this was happening again.

"I'm sorry Em….but it's been almost 10 days she's gone. The cops are trying to figure it out" Mona was cautious with her words. Ali had not really told her what and how much she planned on telling Spencer and Emily.

Emily just stared at the ER door not saying a word. She seemed to go in a state of shock after what Mona said. Spencer was the one to ask "I know Ali's not the one to believe that those assholes in uniform will be able to crack this, she sure must have done her snooping around which got her in trouble, am I right?" Mona seemed impressed, Spencer always was the smart one amongst the girls. She knew it by experience. "And you're her partner in crime." Spencer added.

"More like we are her partners in crime" Spencer eyed Mona curiously "What you're here now, aren't you and don't tell me you flew all the way from Rosewood to just give a warm hug and express how much you hate your cousin for her reckless decisions?" Mona asked Spencer with a wide grin on her face. She always loved outsmarting Spencer.

"What Ali did to us, to her family that wasn't reckless that was being a coward" Spencer shot back.

"Then maybe you don't know your cousin as much as I do Spencer. Ali maybe reckless and a selfish manipulative bitch, but coward isn't one of her traits" it was true what Mona said. Alison was reckless with her decisions and selfish with always getting what she wanted but she was never a coward. Hadn't the girls learnt that from the number of times Alison risked her life to save them. Observing Alison from the outside all those years being -A, Mona had a better read on Alison than the girls, maybe even more than Emily.

Spencer eyed Mona suspiciously, she couldn't wrap her head around the fact that Mona was defending Alison. "What does she have on you, Mona?"

"What do you mean?"

"Your helping the one person you hate the most, there has to be something that she has on you."

Mona gave Spencer a half lip smile as she shook her head "Alison doesn't have anything on me. She never did and she never will. We just kinda…..seem to understand each other…..I guess" Mona had thought about this for a while now. The love hate relationship she had with Alison, it was a rare thing but she knew somewhere that they both shared a similar bond. Something that no one would understand. Although she hated working with Alison, she never felt alone anymore and in some way that helped her hold on to reality.

"When was the last time anyone seen Lily?" this time it was Emily who asked the question. She had been so lost in her own head that she missed out on Spencer and Mona's conversation. She looked at Mona with a solid look on her face.

Mona seemed to ponder over the question "My best guess is Dylan Lockwood, he was the one who took Lily to prom that night."

"Where can I find him?" Emily asked with a stern look that screamed time to kill.

Mona seemed hesitant for a second "You can't just go and ask him about Lily, Emily!" Mona was worried about Emily blowing everything off.

"Why not?"

"Cause the cops are looking into it and so are we. We need to be cautious about how we do this because this town is more than just rich people being fashionable perfect" Mona explained scanning Emily "Plus nobody knows who you both are which can be used as a leverage".

Spencer knew Mona was up to something "So I'm guessing you have already done your investigation on this case?"

"We have some leads but we need evidence… strong evidence and something tells me you can help us with that, seeing that you have quite a reputation of being a merciless lawyer in Philly" Mona had kept tabs on all the girls. She had tortured them enough for years but that's the thing about playing the game you get so addicted to. You live with that addiction. And the five lairs seemed to be just that, her addiction. She convinced herself that she was just keeping tabs on the girls to be updated with their life's events. She looked at Spencer with a wicked smile, after Ali, she loved messing with Spencer. Spencer was always a fighter and unlike others she did fight dirty when needed.

Emily on the other hand was fighting her own heart at the moment. She wanted to find Lily disparately. "I can't just sit here doing nothing, my daughter is out there and she needs my help".

"Do you really think you're going to find her by just going out there shouting her name in the woods Emily? This isn't Rosewood" Mona was growing frustrated. She wondered how Alison put up with this. She knew Emily was the most sweet and loyal person but what she never knew was she was like a 5 year old crying for her candy when she was denied one.

Emily was quite for a while, she pondered over what Mona said. Mona was right she dint know the town nor did she know anything about Lily "Grace always went to the lakeside through the woods. She went there whenever we got into a fight or whenever she was upset or just wanted to be by herself" Emily though about it "which was a lot these past few weeks. I followed her once or twice just to make sure she was ok" she looked at Spencer who was listening keenly "She used to sit there for hours. It was her safe place. Maybe…..maybe Lily has her own safe place. Maybe she felt threatened or scared and she….just….ran to her safe place."

Mona shook her head "I don't think that's the case here."

"It could be." Spencer interjected.

"Just because they both are twins doesn't mean they think alike and do things the same way. You don't know anything about Lily,….. we all don't. Her history has been a buried secret. We don't know where she was and with whom she was all these years. The only person who knows anything about her that could help us right now is in there." Mona said pointing towards the ER "So why don't we just wait this out…..and when Alison wakes up we can take it from there."

Emily glanced at Spencer who nodded agreeing to Mona. As if on cue the nurse walked out of the ER towards them.

"Is anyone of you here a family member of Mrs. DiLaurentis?" the nurse asked the trio.

Emily did not move, she felt herself frozen in place. What was she supposed to say? I am her wife? Legally she still was but she felt so conflicted at the moment" Mona was the one to respond, "Ahhh yes, Emily here is her wife and Spencer is the cousin."

"Well then can you come with me to get some paper work done, it shouldn't take long. And don't worry about your wife she is fine. She had some internal bleeding that's the reason we had to perform a small surgery. She will gain consciousness in a few hours but we may have to keep her under observation for a day or two. The doctor will decide that after he checks up on her tomorrow" Emily felt relieve flood through her veins. She did not want to admit to herself that she cared for her wife. She spent years cursing Alison and hating her for leaving her and Grace that she dint want to fall weak now. She couldn't allow Alison to be her weakness again. She had made up her mind before hopping on that plane and she was determined to go through it at the end. So she just nodded at the nurse and asked her to lead the way.

…

"Okay so we are having a field trip next week and you need to sign this form for approval." Blake threw his bag on the couch and walked towards the kitchen to get himself a snack.

"Where are you kids going", Caleb asked.

"The Spring Clover dad, isn't that awesome. I've heard that the lake leads to an opening to the caves where you can swim and kayak." he grabbed a chocolate muffin from the counter and went to check on his mom. Hanna seemed busy with some drawings, she was sitting on the dining table sipping her coffee occasionally tuning in and out of the conversation. "I have also heard that there are bats hanging upside down waiting for the sun to set, so that they can transform into Dracula's." Blake slowly moved behind his mom and then whispered into her ears "I'm thirsty for your Blood red strawberry smoothie, Mrs. Marin." Hanna had an amused grin on her face.

Blake and her had a fight this morning before he left to school. Hanna had asked Blake to give her a ride to work on this way to school but Blake had other plans with Grace so he lied to her that he had to go to Jackson's first to pick some gears for his soccer meet. So Hanna took the cab since her car was at the garage. But on her way to work she seen Blake and Grace outside the movie theater. She had got so pissed at the two kids that she sprang out of the cab and dragged their asses to school.

"I'm sorry mom, can we just let that slide please. I promise it won't happen again" Blake told Hanna giving her a peck on the cheek. Hanna knew her son's tactics, it was so much similar to Caleb. She knew he had learnt it from his dad.

"Blake, I wasn't mad because you bailed classes, which I do not support of course but I was more upset because you lied to me. You have never done that in the past,….. well at least I presume you haven't." she looked at Blake daring him to say otherwise.

"Of course not mom, I've never lied to you nor dad. It's just that Grace was going through something. She had a really bad night. I think it's mostly because she's worried about aunt Emily. I was just trying to cheer her up, take her to the movies and make her feel better." Blake looked at his mom with those small puppy eyes.

Hanna knew her son was a softy when it came to Grace. He would do anything for Grace, even when they were kids he was always by her side whenever Grace needed a friend or a knight in shining armor. When they were younger she never knew why Blake always went out of his way to do things for Grace but now she does and she adores their relationship. "It's ok sweetie but just make sure you guys don't miss out on classes, first because you need those grades to graduate and second because your aunt Emily won't be happy if her daughter is missing school with her boyfriend." Blake had a worried look on his face.

"You're not going to tell her, are you?" Blake asked worried he would have to face angry aunt Emily again.

"Well, I will see how it goes from here on, so you both better be at your best and you should be fine." Hanna said with an amused smile knowing well that her son was freaking out from the inside.

"Hey you two, what's the secret meeting about?" Caleb interrupted taking a seat besides Hanna. He looked at the two people he loved the most.

Blake looked at his mom, begging her to keep it from his dad. He didn't want his dad lecturing about rules and responsibilities. He has being through that million times already. "Won't be much of a secret if we told you now, would it?" Hanna pecked Caleb on his lips and walked towards the kitchen. "Who's up for a smoothie?" she turned around and winked at Blake. Caleb had a lost looked on his face but he knew better then pushing the two to spill. He knew Blake always shared everything with Hanna than with him and he was perfectly fine with that.

Blake removed his phone and opens the text he received from Grace.

Gracie: Howz it going? Hope your mom hasn't gone all dracarys on you?

Blake: Well the Viserion has been tamed for now.

Blake: I'm worried about Rhaega. If she finds out I will definitely be a roasted turkey, served for thanksgiving.

Grace couldn't stop laughing, Blake really feared her mom but Grace knew it was all because she cared for them. Her mom loved Blake like her own, she always had. She had seen them play, cry and fight like cats and dogs that she did not know how to react to this side of their relationship.

Gracie: Oh what happened to" I will fight for you till worlds end?"

Blake chuckled, he knew he went too far on showing off his love for Grace but he also meant all of it. He would fight for Grace against everyone. He always had ever since he was a kid. All those times when they played soccer, baseball or even the games that the girls chose like house, fashion where the girls experimented putting different shades of makeup on the guys and then putting that up as a exhibition for their parents to select whose was the best or playing Sleeping Beauty where each guy had to be a prince charming, Blake always chose Grace as his partner. Though the boys found all these games very annoying they agreed to play along just so they would have more players on the soccer field, that was the deal. Blake and Grace were too young to know then what love meant but they knew how it felt even in their so innocent minds.

Blake: Oh that was until I knew I had to slay a dragon. Now I'm having second thoughts babe.

Grace read the text and immediately hit the dial button. The phone rang once and then Blake answered "What do you mean you're having second thoughts Mr. Rivers?"

Blake looked around the living room, his dad was busy with doing something with the foyer lights and his mom was preparing his favorite smoothie.

"Babe, I was kidding….. you know I love you. I'm just worried your mom is going to rip my head apart if she ever so sees me even hold your hand" he whispered over the phone so his mother couldn't hear him.

"Oh honey, my mom has seen us kissing on the front porch the last time you dropped me off after the movies, yes she was mad but she'll eventually get used to it." Grace explained.

Blake had a horrified look on his face "Are you for real? No wonder why she did not invite me in the next morning when I came to pick you for school let alone offer me a cup of coffee like she always does in the morning." he thought.

Before Grace could reply Blake heard Katherine's teasing voice "Mom is asking if you are done having phone sex with Blake because it's time for dinner Gracie" he head Grace gasp and throw something at Katty, Aria's and Esra's daughter. He smiled knowing she was feeling a bit better now compared to last night.

"Hey Blake cut it out you horndog, didn't you meet your girl like half an hour back and please don't get me started on the makeout session you two had in the courtyard" this time it was Toby and Spencer's kid Chloe. He laughed in surprise, Chloe was a smart ass bitch, well everyone knew where she inherited that smartness and boldness from .

Grace chuckled and hit Chloe on her arm he heard Grace's voice "What the hell Chloe? Your such an ass.".

"And a creep!" Katty added.

"What is Chloe doing there at Katty's place?" Blake asked in confusion.

"We are having a girls nightout."

"Why aren't the boys invited?" Blake asked in disappointment.

"Well then it wouldn't be a girls nighout, would it?" sometimes Blake was too innocent.

Chloe asked Grace to put her on speaker "Hey dumbass, if you want to come see your girl why don't you come sneak in at night and while you're on your way get us some alcohol, would you?"

Blake knew Chloe's attics very well afterall they all grew up together. "Just say you're all out and I am the only means to your drug."

"I literally just said that dickhead" she laughed at Blake's dumbness to which she got a punch to her ribs.

"What the actual fuck Grace, at least I dint call your man a pimp did I?" she loved Grace and Blake but the love between the two was too much for Chloe to handle.

"Ok cut it out you guys, mom said we will have to make our own dinner if we aren't down in 2 minutes, so please lets go, I'm in no mood of eating Chloe's exotic ramen today" she looked at the two like a mother scolding her kittens "And for you Mr. Rivers, you're not welcome to the girls nightout because I don't want to see my best friend and my childhood friend get all hot and steamy in my bedroom or anywhere in my house. Plus if you think our parents would be ok with you having nightouts with Grace, don't you think she would be staying at your place rather than mine right now?" Blake huffed a sigh he knew she had a point, they weren't in brownies anymore and he knew they both wouldn't be able to keep their hands off each other.

"Fine Katty, FYI this isn't fare to us boys but it's fine I get it" he seemed low and Grace caught on it immediately. Katty and Chloe said their goodbyes and ran downstairs.

"Hey, you ok there babe?" she asked Blake.

"Yeah I'm fine, I think I'm going to go hangout with Julian and Jeremy for the night. They were planning on having a game night but I said no cause I thought I would come meet you tonight since it's the weekend and we don't have school" Julian was Blake's younger brother and Jeremy was Spencer's and Toby's younger kid.

"We will have plenty of time together at the field trip babe" Grace said with a seductive voice.

"Oh I really look forward to it. Did you get a chance to speak to your mom about the trip? You need to get those forms signed by aunt Aria by Monday." he asked.

"No I haven't spoken to mom yet, she had sent me a text when she and aunt Spencer landed. I'm guessing she must be busy with the boarding and lodging. I thought of giving her some rest and calling her tomorrow." Grace said mulling over it.

"Hmmm, why did they go to Oregon again?" none of their parents had told them the truth. All the kids knew was that Spencer needed Emily's help with some case she was working on for which they had to travel to Oregon. They didn't give much details on the case and most importantly why Spencer needed Emily on the case. Grace knew that there was something up with the two but her mom had insisted that she would answer all her questions once she was back home which sounded weird to Grace but she agreed nonetheless. Her mom was stuck in Rosewood like forever, she wanted her to have some time out of her normal. Well little did she knew for the DiLaurentis Fields, there was no such thing as normal.
