Emily walked happily along the expansive hallway as she headed to the large double doors at the end. She was sixty stories up in a pretentious high rise, the high rise that Alison and her family owned. Emily was carrying two drinks in one hand, an Americano for herself and the non caffeine containing hot chocolate for Alison and a bag of pastries in the other. There was a slight skip in her step as she headed to the office that Alison was currently working in, an office that she so rarely frequented. Even at seven months pregnant, heavily pregnant at that Alison refused to sit at home and do nothing. Emily had eventually got her to agree to have a driver take her too and from work seeing as she could barely fit in front of the steering wheel with her protruding bump.

Emily should have been currently sat behind a computer in the accountancy office but with their computer systems crashing every two minutes she was sent home or told to leave at least seeing as she was over an hour away from home. As soon as Emily had left the office she got in her car and headed to the city, it was her Mother's day to collect Noah after pre school and so she had the whole day free which she was choosing to spend with Alison.

Upon walking into Alison's office Emily could here her girlfriend laughing loudly and another persons voice whom she didn't recognise. She walked over and stood in the doorway that separated the actual office from the living room-esque waiting area. Emily didn't mean to pry but Alison didn't notice her girlfriend and as she didn't want to interrupt the current meeting which was being held she stood there quietly waiting to be noticed.

"You know pregnancy is a good look on you Ali" the unknown voice said as he leaned in towards the blonde who was hovering on the edge of her desk, the same side as the man who sat in one of the black leather chairs before her.

"Thank you Elliot, that's kind of you to say" Alison said monotonously as she tried to brush the compliment off.

Emily shook her head from where she stood and tried hard not to laugh, was this guy seriously trying to hit on a heavily pregnant woman?

"I mean it Ali, I've never seen you looking so... glowing in all the years I've known you" Elliot said as his hand found its way onto Alison's knee.

Emilys whole body tensed up, that was twice the man had called Alison by her nickname, were they well acquainted, had Alison mentioned him to her before? She really wanted to make her presence known but part of her was curious to see how Alison was going to handle this, it wasn't that she didn't trust her girlfriend but witnessing this type of interaction first hand had made her extremely jealous and her mind wasn't thinking completely straight.

"Need I remind you that I'm in a committed relationship" Alison said confidently as she moved her leg so that Elliot's hand fell off of it.

Emily breathed out a quiet sigh of relief, glad to know that Alison was thinking of her even with this guy bombarding her with compliments and not to mention the overly flashy suit that he was wearing.

"And yet you've never mentioned his name" Elliot continued to drawl on.

With those words Emily tensed again once more and fought the urge to storm out, she wanted to know why she had never been mentioned or the fact someone her girlfriend had known for years didn't know Alison was dating a woman.

"I don't feel a need to mention my personal life to you Elliot. I always keep our meetings professional and I suggest you learn to do the same." Alison's tone suggested the conversation was now over however Emily wasn't happy with the fact that the blonde never corrected this mans mistake when suggesting she was dating a man.

Emily decided to make her presence finally known and strode confidently into the room, her posture straight, making both Alison and Elliot look straight round at her. Emily didn't say a word as she walked over to the desk and placed the two cups and bag of pastries down on it before turning to face the two others in the room. She then bent down and kissed Alison on the lips, lingering for slightly longer than she needed to before straightening back up and offering her hand to a slightly stunned Elliot.

"Emily Fields, the man in her life and this meeting is over" Emily stated coldly.

Elliot got the message instantly and nodded as he stood up and straightened out his suit jacket before quickly shaking Emilys hand, wincing from the force Emily put into it before scurrying out of the doorway and leaving the office like a dog with its tail between its legs.

Alison was still snickering from Emilys comment when the brunette turned around to face her and all of a sudden she went quiet. The look on Emilys face was not the confident look she had two minutes ago, it was now a look of a broken woman.

"Why didn't you tell him you were dating a woman?" Emily asked quietly as she looked Alison directly in the eye.

"Because like I told him, I keep my personal life private. It doesn't effect him what gender I'm dating" Alison said whilst closing the few inches that separated the two of them. "And might I add that it is extremely sexy when you get jealous"

As Alison's fingers trailed down Emilys jaw the brunette found her hard exterior tumbling down around her as she melted into the touch. Alison pressed kisses along her jaw making her way up and across to her lips and Emily couldn't resist for longer than a second, she kissed her girlfriend back with a fiery passion that had built up inside of her watching the interaction between the blonde and Elliot. They made out heavily for several drawn out minutes before breaking away to catch their breath.

"Your hot chocolate will go cold if you keep getting distracted" Emily said as she took one of the cups and handed it to Alison before digging into the packet of pastries and pulling two out, one for each of them.

"Why aren't you at work?" Alison questioned as she took a pastry and made her way around the desk and settled into her comfy office chair, her legs were starting to hurt from carrying the weight of two babies around.

"Servers are down so we were sent home and I decided to surprise you at work, so here I am... ta da!" Emily said happily, the past happenings forgotten already.

"Good thing I'm done with all my meetings, Mr Rollins was the last one of the day and I was just going to catch up on some paperwork but that can definitely wait until tomorrow" Alison replied happily as she sipped on her hot chocolate.

"Well what do you suggest we do with the rest of our afternoon then Miss DiLaurentis, I've booked you for the entirety of this day?" Emily asked with her eyebrow raised in expectancy.

Alison tapped her fingers on the side of her cup as she tilted her head to the side and looked deep in thought. A few ideas came to mind but none that she could realistically do at seven months pregnant so she sat quietly mulling them all over.

"I don't think I can go far, my ankles are killing me so why don't you go take a seat on the sofa out there and I'll sort something out" Alison suggested as she nodded towards the door, Emily walked out of the room over exaggerating the sway of her hips as she left which made Alison bite her lip to try and contain her heightening arousal before picking up her phone and dialling her personal assistants extension number.

Alison finished up the document that had been left open on her computer that finalised the details of her meeting with Mr Rollins before shutting it down and making her way into the adjoining room. Emily was sat on one side of the sofa awaiting Alison's arrival but before the blonde could sit down there was a knock on the door.

Alison soon sat down next to Emily after shutting the door on her assistant and handed Emily a bowl filled with an assortment of popcorn, minstrels and jelly babies before picking up the remote and turning the television on, she pulled the large grey blanket from off the back of the sofa and covered them both with it once she was snuggled up into Emilys side. Emily smiled down at the blonde who was led against her and watched whilst Alison flicked through the different movies available for them to watch. The blonde settled on Happy Death Day as she wanted something light hearted and something neither of them had seen before and the opening credits began to play.

Another knock sounded at the door but this time it opened without anyone saying something. Alison's assistant walked in and placed a glass of water in front of Alison and a large coke in front of Emily before turning around and walking silently back out of the office.

They spent the next couple of hours watching the movie together snuggled up closely on the sofa. Emily held the blonde tightly against her, her mind had wandered back to the earlier interaction a couple of times and she felt a spike in her jealousy before she took a few deep breaths to calm herself down. Alison instinctively knew when something was troubling Emily but she also knew when to let things be and right now there was no need for her to bring Elliot up again. She would wait until later before reassuring her girlfriend that she had nothing to worry about.

The film kept them entertained throughout and soon the end credits were rolling, Alison shifted under the blanket and found the remote before turning off the tv. She sat up and stretched her arms out having gotten slightly stiff from sitting in the same position over a long period of time. Alison felt a slight twinge in her stomach but thought nothing of it as she stood up and started folding up the blanket they had been using before throwing it back over the sofa.

Emily had now shifted from her position and cracked her neck much to Alison's displeasure before standing up and helping to clear away the rubbish from earlier. She left the glasses and bowl not really knowing where to put them and stood waiting for Alison to finish up. Alison gathered up her belongings which only consisted of her mobile phone and handbag before following behind Emily to the door.

Emily reached the door and opened it before stepping through and holding it open behind her to allow Alison to walk through.

"Em..." Alison called out softly.

"Mhm" Emily absentmindedly replied, she had her phone out and was scrolling through one of her social media applications.

Alison stood several feet from the door a look of mild panic on her face as she waited to gain Emilys full attention. The brunette finally lifted her head and turned back to face Alison and her jaw dropped open.

"I think my waters may have broken" Alison stated still unmoved from the spot.

"What? But why? You're early?" Emily stuttered out question after question.

"I don't really care why at the moment Emily, I just care about getting to the hospital right now" Alison responded with a slight snap of her voice.

With that Emily came back to reality and helped get Alison quickly but carefully into the elevator and out of the office block. She was about to hail a taxi when she remembered her own car was in the underground car park so they headed down the steps and over to where it was parked.

As Emily drove them to the hospital Alison experienced several painful contractions that almost left her in tears, she knew that sometimes twins came early but she had never expected them to be this early. When she wasn't in agony she managed to send a quick text message to Pam to let her know what was going on and to ask her to send a message to the girls so that they weren't out of the loop either.

With the girls looking to make an early appearance Emily was more than relieved that she had managed to get the nursery finished a month prior but they still hadn't managed to agree on two names. Emily stole a quick glance at Alison who was trying to do the deep breathing techniques she had read about but every time a wave of pain washed over her she ended up forgetting everything she had learned.

They pulled into the hospital car park only fifteen minutes after Alison had alerted Emily to the fact her waters had broken and Emily was relieved to find a space near to the entrance. Once she had parked she jumped out of the car and rushed round to Alison's side to help the blonde get out before locking the doors and heading towards the hospital entrance.

They both made their way to the reception and let the nurse who was stood signing people in what was going on. Upon hearing the news that Alison was premature she grabbed some paperwork which she handed to Emily to fill out and led them both down the hallway and into the maternity ward. Alison was found a bed immediately in a private room which they were both grateful for and the nurse told them a midwife would be with them soon before turning and leaving the room.

Alison changed into the hospital gown before lying down on the bed and Emily sat in the chair beside her concentrating as she filled out the endless form. Emily managed to complete them just before the midwife arrived and introduced herself as Holly before she started examining Alison and seeing how dilated she was. To their delight Alison seemed to be in good health as did the babies and she was almost fully dilated so it seemed they wouldn't have to wait long before they got to meet their daughters.

They had both let out a sigh of relief once the midwife had let them know the girls didn't seem to be in any distress and they appeared to just want to enter the world a little earlier than originally planned.

As soon as Alison was fully dilated the midwife encouraged her to start pushing every time she had a contraction. Emily was at the head of the bed whispering encouraging words to Alison who didn't appreciate any of them seeing as she was in complete agony.

"Take your encouragement and shove it up your ass Emily Fields" Alison screamed as another contraction started and she pushed with all her might.

She had a death grip on Emilys hand, her nails digging into the tanned skin so much that she drew blood. Emily winced but didn't complain at all, she knew Alison was in a lot worse pain than she was.

It only took a further fifteen minutes for their first daughters head to appear. Several long hard pushes later and even more profanities from Alison and she entered the world. A screaming bundle of joy, there was no doubt that this little girl was going to like having all the attention on her.

The midwife took the baby to be cleaned up whilst Alison relaxed slightly for a few minutes before she had to go through it all again. Emily bent down and kissed Alison on the lips, so grateful for the strength the woman before her had and for giving her a beautiful daughter with another to follow shortly.

"Go see her" Alison encouraged as she returned the kiss before nodding in the direction of their baby girl. "Make sure our girl is ok"

Normally they would of handed the baby to Alison but with the imminent arrival of her sister there really wasn't any time and it was Emily who got to hold their daughter for the first time.

"I'll be back" Emily said in response.

Emily squeezed Alison's hand one last time before walking over to the midwife who turned to her and handed the tall brunette her new born baby. Emily looked her over, she had skin slightly darker than Alison's but lighter than her own. A small amount of dark hair sat on top of her head and she was perfect in every way.

"You are beautiful" Emily cooed at the little girl.

As Emily stood holding one of their daughters in her arms, a look of pure love was showing on her face. You never really understood the love a parent had for a child until you became one yourself and that love only grew with the more children you had. As Emily held her daughter close swaying her slightly the little girl opened her eyes which were a complete copy of Alison's, as blue as the sky and stared silently up at her, her bottom lip soon started to tremble though and just as the girl began to cry doctors entered the room and swarmed around Alison in a commotion.

"Miss Dilaurentis your daughter has the cord wrapped around her neck and is going into distress, if you can't get her out in the next push then we are going to have to perform an emergency caesarean"

A nurse gently took their first daughter out of Emilys hands and after asking if they had a name yet to which Emily shook her head, she took her away from the room so that Emily could put her full attention into Alison but not before reassuring Emily that she was perfectly healthy. The brunette rounded the bed and took the blondes hand in her own but it felt like her bones were being crushed by the amount of pressure Alison was applying.

"You're doing great babe, just one more push" Emily said encouragingly as she prayed her second daughter and girlfriend would both make it out of this ok.

But the encouragement and prayers weren't enough and even with the strongest of pushes Alison was unable to give birth to the second twin naturally. She was immediately whisked off into the operation room whilst Emily was given scrubs to put on and led through the hallways behind Alison so that she could be there throughout the entire procedure.

She walked into the operating theatre and quietly gasped to herself, it was unnerving to see Alison hooked up to so many machines lying on the bed unconscious after being put under general anaesthetic whilst the surgeons prepared themselves quickly but thoroughly. But even in this situation Emily thought that Alison looked beautiful, the woman was completely stunning. Emily put on a tough exterior as she walked up to where Alison led.

Emily stood at the head of the operating table looking directly at Alison's face, she wasn't exactly the squeamish type but looking directly at her girlfriend being cut open she was sure would scar her for life. She focused upon Alison's closed eyes and although the blonde was unconscious Emily held her hand and gently squeezed it in reassurance.

The surgeon got to work and the only sound he made was when asking for a different type of tool. His voice raised slightly in tone as he explained to an assistant that there was an unexpected bleed that needed to be kept under control. Emilys nerves spiked upon listening to his words but a nurse that was stood by her told her it should be dealt with quickly.

Unfortunately this wasn't true and as they struggled to keep the blood loss under control Alison's body began to shut down and all of the machines started blaring different warnings. Emily trembled in fear and was soon escorted out of the room, leaving her girlfriend and daughter on the operating table. Emily kicked up slightly as she was dragged from Alison's side but the nurse reminded her that they needed to focus on Alison not her.

Emily removed her scrubs and handed them to a nurse as she left the room and was allowed to continue watching the procedure through the large window on the side of the operating theatre. The surgeon managed to remove the cord from around the baby's neck and handed her quickly to a nurse before returning his attention to Alison herself.

The nurse walked to the other side of the room with the baby in her arms and Emily had no idea if her daughter was ok or not. The fact that more nurses surrounded the baby Emily guessed that not everything was as it should be and she shook uncontrollably with fear for her girlfriend and one of her daughters. Emily noticed that not a sound had come out of her daughter - didn't all babies cry after they were born?

Emily was brought back to reality at the sounds from the machines indicating Alison was flatlining. Emily prayed so hard that her girlfriend was strong enough to make it through this. She knew she couldn't even begin to bring up three children by herself and she didn't want to imagine a life without Alison in it, the woman had changed her life for the better and grounded her.

The blind was pulled down from the other side of the room in front of Emilys eyes and she could no longer could see into the room, she could no longer see Alison. The last thing she saw was the surgeons struggling to keep the blood loss under control whilst attaching the pads to her chest so they could restart her heart with the defibrillator.

Emilys world began to spin and she sunk to her knees, she had no idea what was going on in the room and it was destroying her. She hadn't even realised she was crying until a tear dripped onto one of her hands. The next thing she knew a doctor was bending down besides her trying to get her attention.

"We're sorry..."
