May be rated M! You have been warned!
Saturday 12TH August 1995
After leaving the hospital both families gathered at the Prentiss-Thompson mansion, to get ready for their meal at Giuseppe's at nine there house was closer to the restaurant, it was quarter to eight. Emily and Aaron were upstairs in her bedroom; the rest of the family was downstairs in the living room.
In Emily's bedroom, the couple were enjoying some peace and quiet from their families downstairs. Resting on the bed, Aaron lying propped up by pillows, Emily lying partially on top of him, Aaron had his arms wrapped protectively around her. The couple had dozed off into a peaceful sleep, in the same position, today had really taken it out of both of them, especially Emily, finding out that they were expecting was both the most nerve wracking and happy news they had ever gotten, even though they were going to be teen parents, they are going to do it together, as a family.
"We're going to be parents." Emily stated snuggling deeper into her fiancées chest.
"Yeah we are I know we're young and we will make mistakes but we can do this." Aaron exclaimed before placing a kiss onto Emily's forehead.
"I know that, I'm just worried, it's a week until we leave for New Haven and what happens when other people start to find out, when I start to show, our careers…" Emily rambled on in a panic before Aaron silenced her with a kiss on the lips.
The kiss shocked Emily, she just didn't expect it. Aaron planned on a small subtle kiss that would stop her from rambling and worrying, but what surprised him was that Emily deepened the kiss running her tongue over his bottom lip asking permission to enter and explore the depths of his mouth. Battling for dominance, Emily straddled Aaron's thighs, still not breaking the kiss which had become a steamy passionate affair.
There was a knock at Emily's bedroom door, breaking the kiss Emily let out a heavy sigh and placed her head on Aaron's shoulder causing the older brown haired boy to chuckle. Snuggling into Aaron's side, lying back on the bed, Emily closed her eyes.
"Come in," Emily whined out before sighing angrily at the interruption, which she was starting to enjoy.
Opening the door slightly, Sean walked into the bedroom closing the door quietly behind him. Sitting down on the windowsill on the other side of the room all without saying a word, but the silence wasn't uncomfortable. Sean was wearing suit trousers, a blue pin stripe shirt and matching jacket, with brown leather shoes, he really looked smart.
"Your parents are driving me insane; Emily is there any way to escape out of here without getting noticed?" Sean asked deadly serious, they both could see the stress on his face. "Not that I'm not happy for you guys, I mean I get the chance to be the coolest uncle on the planet, and you to are perfect for each other, I get to be best man don't I?"
"I am so sorry about leaving you with my parents Sean, and about being the best man I am absolutely fine with it, but you might have to ask Aaron." Emily stated looking at her soon to be brother in law, though ever since she started dating Aaron she always saw Sean as a little brother.
"I was planning on asking you at dinner, but will you be my best man Sean? I mean you have been through everything with me, I wouldn't want you not to be there, and it wouldn't be the same." Aaron asked his younger brother.
"Course I will man, anything for my big bro, and by the way it is eight o'clock you guys have been up here a while, and mom wants you to put this on," Sean explained with a smirk as he passed Aaron his suit travel bag, containing his dark grey suit, a pale pink shirt, grey tie, and black leather shoes.
"We weren't doing anything like that we were just resting," Aaron informed him with a feigned frown.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, come on guys get ready I will see you downstairs in a minute, don't want to be late for precious Elizabeth." Sean joked as he left the room, leaving the couple alone again once more.
Getting out of bed, Emily stretched her legs as she walked around her large bedroom, her bedroom of one week longer till she leaves for college. Aaron slipped out of the bed and pulls his shoes on and joins his fiancée and the mother of his children, wrapping his arms around her waist. Ever since they had found out Emily was pregnant, Aaron had developed a fascination with touching her lower abdomen any opportunity he had.
"Come on Em, we need to get changed, the sooner we head downstairs the sooner we can return home," Aaron suggested as he placed a kiss to Emily's exposed neck.
"Yeah you're right," Emily sighed before turning around placing a short peck on Aaron's lips.
Emily walked over to her wardrobe, and began rummaging through trying to find an outfit to wear for the occasion, her engagement, and pregnancy party. Pulling out a black cocktail dress, with a red jacket, black tights and black leather kitten heels. She quickly began getting undressed, watching as Aaron stripped down to his boxers exposing his muscular body. Hurrying to get changed Emily was finished first shoes and all, Aaron was in his suit trousers, shirt and was fiddling with his tie, trying to get in on right.
"Here, let me," Emily exclaimed as she walked in front of Aaron taking hold of his tie pulling him closer to her.
"Thanks, I guess I'm nervous," Aaron stated looking at his beautiful brown haired wife to be.
"I'm nervous to, look at us, we act as if we are married already," Emily joked lightly as she pushed Aaron's tie up, as the tie reached his top button Emily placed a chaste kiss on Aaron's lips.
Breaking the kiss, Aaron quickly finished getting changed headed out of the room after Emily. Walking down the stairs, Aaron wrapped his arms around Emily's waist pulling her into sideward hug, hoping that she feels alright about everything, college, the baby and the marriage.
"This is really happening isn't it?" Emily stated quietly as if she was reassuring herself, as they headed towards the living area.
"Yeah it is, and I'm not going anywhere, we're in this together." Aaron exclaimed in an attempt to keep his girlfriend calm, as par to the doctor's advice.
Emily just nodded as they entered the living room; all eyes went on the younger couple as the room was succumbed to silence. Aaron took hold of Emily's hand and guided her to the empty seat in the corner of the room, sitting down he pulled Emily onto his lap.
"Are you ok Emily sweetheart, you were up there a while?" Dean Senior asked worried about his daughter's health especially now she is pregnant with twins.
"Yeah, I'm fine, we were both tired it has been a long day, we dozed off to sleep, sorry." Emily explained to both families, Aaron and Emily placed a hand on her abdomen.
"It's alright I remember when I was pregnant with Aaron, I was more tired than I ever thought was possible." Anne exclaimed with a chuckle as she recalled the memory.
"I hope I'm not tired the whole way through I mean I'm twelve weeks now, my doctor says I should start to feel more energized," Emily smiled at Aaron's mother.
"Have you thought about when the wedding will be?" Elizabeth asked with a soft smile at her daughter and soon to be son in law.
"Well I'm twelve weeks now, I'm going to start to show soon, I know that we are both from political and socially high families but I'm not sure if I want to get married before the twins are born…" Emily began to ramble before Aaron interrupted her.
"We spoke about having a spring wedding in March, April time but that was before finding out that we are expecting." Aaron explained rubbing soothing circles to Emily's abdomen.
"Spring is a lovely time of a year for a wedding," Elizabeth said almost excitedly.
"I think we should all head out to Giuseppe's it's almost time for our reservation," Edward Hotchner stated as he stood up from his seat on the sofa, he had been awfully quiet but Aaron and Emily had put it down to shock.
Arriving at Giuseppe's it was nine o'clock in the evening, Aaron stepped forward to the maître de podium and waited to be served. James Taylor had joined the family as security for the Prentiss-Thompson family as they were out in public; he had also joined them at the hospital when Emily was first taken ill.
"Aaron!" Aaron's friend and son of the owner of the restaurant Giovanni Matteo De Luca exclaimed as he walked forward to greet his friend.
"Hey Vanni, how are you man?" Aaron greeted his best friend from high school.
"I'm good, are you here for your reservation at nine?" Giovanni asked.
"Yeah, family of eight please mate." Aaron informed Giovanni.
"Yep, right this way." Giovanni led the large family party to the far corner table, where three tables had been pushed together to allow them all to sit together. "Just to let you now Aaron, Haley got a job here; my dad did that not my choice we are understaffed, so if she sees you or even serves you I'm sorry man." Giovanni whispered into his friend's ear as the family sat down, Emily next to Aaron.
"Really thanks man." Aaron murmured in reply, shaking his best mate hand.
After the family was seated at the table, they began studying the menu's, though Emily began rummaging in her handbag trying to find the sonogram images from the scan to give their parents a copy showing their grandchildren.
"What are you looking for?" Aaron asked softly as he rubbed Emily's arm up and down gently.
"The sonogram images, for our parents to have one each." Emily answered with a smile at her fiancée.
"There in my wallet, you said you wanted to keep them safe so you wouldn't lose them," Aaron pulled out his wallet, retrieving several of the many sonogram images of the unborn twins, his children and handed them to Emily. Leaving two sonogram images in his wallet alongside his picture of himself with Emily sat in his lap after graduation.
Not realising that their server for evening had arrived and was taking orders, it was Haley and the sonogram images were left on the table for all to see, that spelt trouble. Aaron kissed Emily on the cheek, before tracing his finger over the sonogram image; still no noticing Haley was taking orders from the rest of the family.
"And Aaron, Emily what can I get for you, this evening?" Haley asked the newly engaged couple, whilst noticing the sonogram image set on the table, she started to get angry but controlled it for the sake of her job.
"Haley," Emily exclaimed in shock, mortified at the thought that Haley had seen the sonogram so she quickly slid them off the table and into her lap.
"Em, it's going to be ok," Aaron reassured Emily before turning back to see Haley with steam practically flowing out of her ears. "Can you tell Giovanni that I and Emily will have our usual, the same we had on our first date and water for both of us?" Aaron asked though it came out more of a demand, not saying another word Haley turned on the balls of her feet and walked off.
Both sets of parents were furious that Haley was their server for their meal this evening, especially after the day Emily and Aaron have had, but kept it to themselves not going to ruin the moment for the young couple. Edward and Anne Hotchner were in deep conversation with their soon to be extended family Elizabeth Prentiss and Dean Joseph Thompson Senior leaving Emily and Aaron talking with Sean.
"You ordered my favourite, I love you." Emily whispered as she calmed herself down.
"Yeah, because I know you, I love you, all three of you," Aaron placed a hand on Emily's abdomen smiling.
"You guys are great together," Sean stated as he checked out the scene, the sixteen year old had not been able to hold down a serious girlfriend due to his player tendencies. "Both of you are going to be great parents, and hold down your career plans, I admire you guys, I just can't wait to meet them both." Sean admitted he was always good with the younger children of his family.
"Thanks Sean it means a lot, and you will meet them when they are ready to grace us all with their presence in twenty eight weeks." Emily handed Sean one of the spare sonogram images, Aaron placed a hand on her thigh smiling at his brother. "Keep it; we have got enough for me and Aaron, and mine and your parents."
Haley had returned to the table with the drink order, and had overheard the entire conversation between Emily and Sean and had dropped the drink tray on the floor in temper.
"You got that whore pregnant!" Haley shouted at the couple, causing the whole restaurant to go a deadly form of silent, and Emily to cry. Giovanni ran over to the table trying to control the situation or at least try and restrain Haley.
As if it was a reflex Aaron jumped into action pulling Emily into a hug shielding her from the abuse Haley had begun flinging towards them. Whispering soothing words into her ear as he held whilst the sobs worked through her body.
"My soon to be sister in law is no whore, she is the best women in the world to this family, and she makes my brother happier than he ever was with you and they are going to Yale together and you are not." Sean exclaimed in support of Emily and Aaron, though it earned him a slap right across the face.
James Taylor leaped forward restraining Haley with plastic cuffs and began hauling her out of the building.
