Chapter 26

Please don't forget to leave reviews for me I do listen to what you guys ask for! Also my AD stands for something different and not along with the show!

The feeling of needing to protect, of needing to do something comes over Emily as she sits with Spencer, Hanna and Alison waiting to hear a commotion or something coming from the bathroom hallway. "So we're just going to sit here?"

"Yep…Mona doesn't want us to do anything but sit and wait." Spencer responds tossing her phone back and forth very nervous.

"We should have heard something by now right?"

"Em…everything will be okay," Alison reaches her out and grabs hers making her calm down. "We'll be okay."

"I know, but they've been in there for a while now." They all look down at their phone when they get a text from Mona…

Got him

"That's all we get?"

"Yeah I mean no offense, but I thought it would be a little more than that."

"GET OFF OF ME!" The girls hear Lorenzo yelling from the hallway.

"I don't think so," Toby yells back.

"You're assaulting a detective you know that right?"

"Are you serious; how about an assault on two innocent women who had no way of protecting themselves?"

"Yeah okay," he goes to walk away when Emily grabs his arm. "I would think twice about your next move Emily Fields."

"I'm sorry is that a threat…okay good!" She leans back and throws her entire body into the punch she delivers to his face. "First of all I have been through so much shit you have no idea what I'm capable of, second of all taking advantage of not one but two quiet innocent girls is sickening, third…we have you on video (turning around she checks with Aria to make sure she got it and when she nods her head yes she continues) hitting Dove, yes we know about her…we actually hid her from you to use for this moment right here. The cops are actually right outside because Caleb put a camera in the bathroom and hooked it up to the PD computers for this moment. Oh and one more thing, everything you thought was happening between Alison and myself…did happen, is happening, and will happen because not only is she my soulmate, but she's also the love of my life." Walking away everyone can hear the mic drop in the center of the room; Emily Fields was able to say everything she's been wanting to say for a month now, she walks into the bathroom and starts to break down, but quickly wipes her face as soon as it opens. She turns around and for the first time she can walk over to her and kiss her without having to hide it, she can tell her she loves her without having to hide it. "Sorry I ran I…"

"Em…I am so proud of you for doing all that; you said and did things that I couldn't do and I applaud you and thank you for that. Dove is giving her statement to the cops and then they want me to, but I was thinking that maybe after that we can go back to your house and just cuddle and watch a movie?"

"I would love nothing more than that." Looking around she leans against the wall and it's written all over her face that she has more to say.

"What is it?"

"Lorenzo was going to propose to you tonight."

Tilting her head to the side she's a bit taken a back, "he what?"

"He came up to me and asked me to help him propose to you and it made me think."

"He was going to propose to me?"

"Yeah…I'm sorry it didn't tell you but we did…"

"No it's fine because to be honest it probably would have changed my mind…I mean just the dance to our song almost got me."

"It made me think though about how long I've wanted this and how it's now…after how many years…in my hands and I never want to let go of it."

"I don't want to either Em."

"Ali…will you…" BAM!"

Everything is a fog and all she can hear is a ring as she moves in what seems like slow motion. Looking to her left she sees Hanna, Aria, and Spencer running towards her and then she moves her head to the right to see Ali just starting to open her eyes. "Ali…" is all Emily can get out before passing out.

"Well who else could it be that has experience with explosives?"

"She was hurt, but that doesn't mean she would risk her career to kill an ex."

"We've seen crazier things."

"Yes, but there's too much at risk…"

"It's not Devon," Emily wakes up to see the whole crew around her bed.

"Em…how do you feel?"

"It's not Devon."

"See!" Hanna sits on the end of her bed and smiles.

"Ali?"

"Bathroom; whoever or whatever caused the explosion, did it far enough away to not kill anyone, but close enough to make a statement." Aria states walking in with coffee for everyone along with Ezra.

"We've all gone years without anything, and the first month we're all back together…bam."

"Not exactly the best word to use," Ali walks back in the room and sits next to Emily taking her hand. "Can you guys give us a minute please."

"Sure!" They all get up and leave as Alison closes the door behind them. "Em…"

"It's not Devon; she might have been pissed off but she doesn't have a mean bone, like this in her body."

"I know that's not what I was going to say; you were in the process of asking me something before this happened and if it's happening again…A, B, whatever this is, I want you to ask me now before you can't ask me again." She sits back down on the bed and takes Emily's hands.

Smiling she sits up and just smiles into Alison's eyes. "I never want to let this go; I never want to let you go and I know that I don't want to because for 4 years I did and as much as I did love Devon, I knew that it was always you deep down and when I saw you…it only confirmed it. I tried to deny it, but I'm done denying it and my feelings for you and hiding it."

"Emily…."

"I want Paris Ali; you and me and sweet Paris today, tomorrow, and forever."

"Em what are you saying?"

"I want to marry you Ali; I want to make a statement in front of all of our friends and family that it has always been you and always will be."

"So you're asking me to marry you?"

"Yeah; I know that the hospital isn't the best…" her words are cut off as Ali kissing her physically giving her an answer. "I love you Ali."

"I love you too Em!" It's at that moment that their faces go straight when their phones go off. Reaching over to the side, Alison reads it and then hands it to Emily.

Congrats on the engagement you two

Too bad you both forgot about one little thing…me-A.D.
