Hanna was in Philadelphia the following week, she spotted Harley walking along the footpath on the opposite side of the street, with a brunette woman, who was wearing sunglasses and a broad brim sun hat. She couldn't see the woman's face. The brunette was holding onto Harley's elbow. Harley was smiling fondly as she spoke to the woman. Harley opened a café door and let the brunette in before her.
Hanna watched the pair closely as she sat in her car parked on the other side of the road to the café. The brunette took her hat off but had her back to Hanna.
Hanna pulled out her phone and rang Emily.
"Hey Hanna. What's up?" Emily said as she answered the phone
"Hey Em. Do you know where Harley is?" Hanna asked still watching the pair
"Yeah, she said she had to do something work related today in Philadelphia. Why?" Emily said puzzled
"Oh, I just thought I saw her that's all." Hanna said "I am in Philadelphia too"
"Oh okay" Emily said
"You want to grab a coffee when I get back?" Hanna asked. Harley laughed at something the brunette had said smiling warmly at her.
"Sure, why not" Emily said cheerfully
"See you then" Hanna said
"Bye Han" Emily hung up the phone
Hanna was pissed, 'How dare she have a secret date with someone else and tell Emily she is at work' she thought as she got her phone out and took some photos of the pair. Hanna went and finished what she had to do in Philadelphia.
On the way back to Rosewood she rang Aria
"Hi Hanna" Aria answered the call
"Aria I think Harley is cheating on Emily" Hanna said bluntly
"What? Why?" Aria said surprised
"She told Emily she was doing something work related today but I saw her with a brunette at a café. They looked pretty friendly" Hanna said annoyed
"It could be work related. I really don't think Harley would do that to Em" Aria tried to remain calm
"I don't know" Hanna said sceptically "I am going to meet up with Emily after I get back"
"Don't say anything to Em please. Just wait and ask Harley if you are so worried" Aria said calmly again
"Okay, but if I see Harley with her again I am telling her" Hanna somewhat calmed down
"Okay, bye Han" Aria said
"Bye Aria" Hanna hung up the phone
"So are you seeing Harley tonight?" Hanna asked Emily as they sat down with their coffees
"No, she is busy with work all this week" Emily replied "We are just going to catch up when she is free"
"That's too bad" Hanna said as she felt a knot form in her stomach
"She is a doctor it comes with the job" Emily shrugged
"So when are you two going to move in together?" Hanna asked
"I don't know, Harley is really busy with work at the moment, we will talk about it when she isn't as busy" Emily said honestly
Hanna nodded slowly.
The women continued talking about other topics.
Hanna went into the hospital the next day in her lunch break.
"Hello, how can I help you?" The nurse behind the desk asked her cheerfully
"Hi, I was wondering if Doctor Harley is in today" Hanna asked smiling
The nurse gave her a puzzled look "The Australian Pathologist?" she asked curious
"Yeah, that's her" Hanna nodded
The nurse gave her another strange look but started looking it up on the computer "No, she isn't rostered on for today or tonight"
Hanna furrowed her brow "Oh okay, thank you for your help" she smiled as the knot in her stomach tightened
"You're welcome" the nurse said smiling. Once Hanna left the nurse scratched her head 'I am sure her girlfriend had dark hair' she thought to herself. She shrugged and went back to what she was doing.
Hanna went past Harley's apartment after she had finished work in the afternoon. Harley and the brunette were getting out of a taxi. Hanna pulled her phone out and took some more pictures of the pair. Harley picked up an overnight bag out of the trunk and placed a hand on the shorter woman's lower back tenderly as she guided the brunette into her flat. Hanna still didn't see the brunettes face.
She rang Aria "She is cheating" she said as soon as Aria answered the call.
"What?" Aria said confused
"Harley, she told Emily she was at work today and she wasn't and she just let the mystery brunette into her apartment with a bag" Hanna said fuming
"Maybe you should ring Spencer…" Aria said worried and really confused
"I am going to" Hanna said bluntly
"Okay, well if you need anything just ring okay" Aria said
"Okay Bye Aria" Hanna said and hung up the phone.
"Hey Han" Spencer said cheerfully as she answered the phone
"Your cousin is cheating on Emily" Hanna said bluntly down the phone
"What?" Spencer said stunned
"I saw Harley with a brunette yesterday in Philadelphia on a date, then I saw the same brunette going into her apartment this afternoon and she told Emily she was at work today but she wasn't, I checked" Hanna explained annoyed
"Where are you?" Spencer asked trying to process the information
"Outside her apartment now" Hanna said "I already told Aria. I took pictures too" she clenched her jaw
"Have you told Emily?" Spencer asked concerned
"No" Hanna replied
"Right I am coming over, stay there. Text Aria to meet us too" Spencer said as she picked up her car keys
Spencer arrived 10 mins later and hopped into Hanna's car
"Show me the photos" Spencer said uneasy
Hanna pulled her phone out and showed her best-friend
"This doesn't look good" Spencer said looking over the pictures. She was really confused at why her cousin would be doing this to Emily.
Aria hopped in the back of Hanna's car.
"So what are we doing?" Aria asked looking over Spencer's shoulder at the pictures on Hanna's phone.
"We are going to go find out who Harley is cheating on Emily with" Hanna said glaring at the flat door
Hanna got out of her car and stormed over to the door, Spencer and Aria trailing behind. She bashed on it hard.
Harley opened the door and was pulling a robe around herself.
SLAP. The sound of Hanna's hand hitting Harley's cheek echoed off the nearby buildings.
"Ouch" Harley said stunned
"You BITCH! You told me you wouldn't hurt her!" Hanna exclaimed enraged, pushing past Harley into the flat
"Please come in…" Harley said confused, her cheek turning a bright shade of red as she stepped aside
Spencer and Aria stepped into the flat. Spencer had a concerned look on her face. Aria looked slightly sheepish.
"Who's is this?" Hanna asked clipped, picking up a shirt on the back of the lounge waving it at Harley
"Emily's, she left it here?" Harley was still confused. Her cheek started to sting.
"Well these aren't Emily's or your shoes" Hanna said curtly pointing at a pair of small shoes
"No" Harley said honestly
"Who is she?" Hanna said angrily, as she got up in Harley's face
Harley backed up to the hall blocking the way. "I can't tell you." She looked at Hanna then looked pleadingly at her cousin.
Spencer gave her a disappointed look. "Can't or won't?" she asked crossing her arms
"Move!" Hanna barked, getting in Harley's face again.
"No" Harley said looking at Hanna "and I can't" she said looking past Hanna at Spencer
THUMP. Hanna punched Harley hard in the nose, hitting her mouth as well. Harley bought her hand up to her face. Her nose started bleeding. Scarlett drops started hitting the shirt she had on under her robe that had opened. "I can't" Harley said firmly, her eyes watering from the pain in her nose, still looking at Spencer.
"You want me to hit you again? Who is she?" Hanna demanded
"If you have to, but I can't tell you." Harley remained firm, moving her hand back down to look at the blood on it. She looked back up at Hanna, meeting the blonde's piercing gaze.
Hanna went to punch Harley again when a muffled female voice called out "Harley its okay…"
"Work huh? That's what you told Emily. Yeah right." Hanna bitterly huffed
"It is not what you think… Give me 5 minutes" Harley pleaded "Just go wait in the lounge room. Please." She said calmly
"I am calling Emily" Hanna pulled her phone out, spinning around to walk back into the lounge room.
"Spencer get an icepack out of the freezer for Hanna's hand, it's starting to bruise" Harley looked at her cousin. Spencer nodded.
Harley turned and walked down the hall towards where the voice had come from.
Emily's knuckles were white wrapped around the steering wheel on the drive over to Harley's flat. 'How could this be happening?' went through her mind.
"Are you sure?" Harley asked the brunette as she closed the door
"Look at your face" the brunette said stunned
"I've had worse" Harley shrugged as she grabbed a tissue and held it up to her nose to stop the blood going everywhere
"I can't let this happen to you anymore. It's time to tell them" the brunette smiled warmly
"Okay" Harley said "Thanks" she said relieved
Harley walked back down the hall carrying the brunette wrapped in a blanket like one would a child, one arm under her knees the other around her back. The brunette had her arms wrapped around Harley's neck, so the three other women couldn't see her face. Harley placed her gently onto the arm chair, she stepped back.
"It's me" Melissa said quietly. A drip was hanging out of her arm, the bag was on her lap.
"I will be right back" Harley smiled at her older cousin
"What?" Hanna said stunned still holding the icepack over her knuckles
Spencer and Aria's mouths dropped.
Harley came back into the room with a drip stand and attached the bag to it. Checking the rest of the line. She had a bandage in her pocket and took Hanna's hand gently and started to wrap it. She put the icepack back on after it was wrapped. The blonde stood stunned.
"Why didn't you say anything?" Spencer asked looking at her cousin astounded
"She couldn't" Melissa said coming to Harley's defence
"Why not?" Spencer said confused and upset looking at Harley "And what is wrong with you?" she looked at Melissa "And why didn't I get told?" she looked between her cousin and her sister, with a wounded expression.
"Sit down Spence." Melissa said softly, she nodded and gave a small smile to Aria
Spencer sat down slowly and ran a hand through her hair. Aria sat next to her, putting a hand on Spencer's thigh for support.
"I found a lump in my breast. I asked Harley about it a while ago. She convinced me to get it checked out after what happened with Mom. She has been coming to every appointment with me. Harley is also on the team of doctors that is helping me fight the cancer. I asked her not to tell anyone about it." Melissa looked at her cousin then back to her sister "I had a specialist appointment yesterday in Philadelphia, then I had my first treatment today at the local hospital. Harley offered to look after me so I didn't have to stay in hospital." She smiled sadly at her sister
Harley gave a half smile "Even if I wanted to, I couldn't say anything. I am bound by doctor patient confidentiality and Melissa asked me not to, so I wouldn't." she looked at the three younger women
"Sorry…" Hanna said looking at Harley
"No hard feelings." Harley gave her a weak smile "I need to go get cleaned up" She looked down at her bloodied top and walked off to the bathroom.
They heard a knock at the door. Aria got up and opened it. Emily was standing there with tear tracks down her cheeks. Emily looked in the lounge room and saw Melissa sitting there with the drip. She turned confused to the blonde.
"It was a misunderstanding…" Hanna said sheepishly, trying to hide her bandaged hand "Sorry about your girlfriend's face…" She said shyly as she looked down at the floor.
Emily's eyes went wide "Where is she?" her voice full of concern
"Bathroom" Melissa said pointing down the hall giving her a sympathetic look.
Emily opened the bathroom door. Harley was standing there in her bra and was starting to wash her shirt out in the sink. She looked up at Emily. She was starting to get two black eyes, her bottom lip was swollen and split and she had a distinct red hand print across her left cheek that was also starting to bruise.
Emily stepped forward and gently put her hand up to the non-bruised side of Harley's face.
"Remind me not to piss Hanna off ever again" Harley said leaning into Emily's gentle touch.
"Tell me what happened" Emily asked gently. She lightly brushed her thumb over Harley's cheek.
"Melissa has breast cancer, I have been going to all the appointments with her, I am on the team of doctors helping her fight it, I couldn't say anything because she is technically a patient and she asked me not to, so I was doing work yesterday and today, she is staying with me instead of the hospital after her first treatment and I love you" Harley smiled then winced when her lip split more.
"I love you too." Emily smiled "Why didn't you stop Hanna from hitting you?" her gaze flicking over Harley's face
"Well the first one was a surprise, I had just opened the door, and the next one I was looking at Spencer not her" Harley shrugged and looked sheepish. She bought her own hand up and brushed the tear tracks on Emily's face away with the pad of her thumb. "I'm really sorry, I made you upset Emily." She said sincerely
"It's okay" Emily leant in to Harley's hand as they gazed into each other's eyes.
"Are you okay?" Aria poked her head in the door "I found a bag of peas in the freezer" she handed it to Emily
"Thanks Aria" Harley said looking around Emily at the short brunette "I am okay" she gave a half smile
Emily pressed the peas against Harley's cheek.
"I need to talk to Jason, so I am going to go…" Aria said
"Are you going to be okay telling him? I can do it for you if you like?" Harley asked concerned "If you guys have any questions too…"
"Yeah I will be okay, we will call you if we do have any questions, thank you" Aria smiled "And you can call us if you need anything, bye guys"
"Thanks" Emily smiled "Bye"
"Okay" Harley nodded "Bye"
Aria gave a small smile and left.
"Can you please get me a clean shirt out?" Harley asked looking at Emily then down
"Okay" Emily said "I won't be long" she said looking over Harley's face
Emily walked out of the bathroom and down the hall "Hanna" she called out
Hanna walked tentatively over to Emily. Spencer and Melissa looked up at Emily. Emily gave them a small smile.
"Hanna we are going to have a talk, come on" She took the blondes hand and led her to Harley's bedroom.
"I am really sorry" Hanna looked up at Emily "I thought…"
"I know Han." Emily said cutting her off looking her in the eye "Stay here, I am going to get a shirt out for Harley"
Hanna nodded and sat down on the end of the bed. Emily pulled a tee-shirt out and walked out.
Harley had washed her shirt out and hung it over the towel rail. Emily handed the clean shirt to Harley.
"Come on" Emily took Harley's hand after she put the shirt on and led her to the bedroom.
Hanna looked up at the doctor. Her eyes went wide when she saw the bruises that had started to form on Harley's face.
"I am so sorry. I thought you were cheating on Emily" Hanna said looking Harley in the eye
"It's okay. I can see why you thought that." Harley looked the blonde in the eye "How is your hand?" she asked concerned
"It's sore…" Hanna said sheepishly
"Hanna you know I love you" Emily looked at the blonde and sat down next to her. Hanna nodded. "I trust Harley" She looked up at Harley "and she trusts me." Emily said as Harley smiled back.
"I shouldn't have…" Hanna started
"Hey, it's okay you were protecting your friend." Harley cut her off gently and knelt down in front of the blonde looking her in the eye. "Don't ever apologise for being a good friend. I really am okay. I have the rest of the week off work to look after Melissa." She said honestly
"I feel so stupid" Hanna shook her head "You really are a good person. I can't believe I thought that about you…"
Harley gave a half smile and took the blonde's bandaged hand "Let me look at this properly"
Hanna nodded. Harley gently unwarped Hanna's hand.
"Can you open it?" Harley asked showing Hanna what she wanted her to do with her own hand.
Hanna opened it.
"Okay make a fist" Harley asked
Hanna winced slightly.
"Push against my hand"
Hanna pushed hard.
"Does it hurt?" Harley asked
"A little" Hanna said nodding
"Well I don't think it's broken. Getting the ice on it straight away helped with the bruising. I will wrap it back up." Harley rebandaged Hanna's hand "I will go get you something for the pain" she got up and walked out of the room.
"She is so kind" Hanna said looking up at Emily "She asked Spencer to get the icepack out straight away"
"She seems to always put other's before herself" Emily smiled and nodded
"Are we okay?" Hanna asked nervously
"Of course we are" Emily hugged Hanna "I know you were only looking out for me and so does Harley."
"Thanks Em" Hanna said returning the hug
"Okay" Harley said as she entered the room "I forgot to ask, are you allergic to anything and are you on any medication?" She had some painkillers and a glass of water in her hands.
Hanna shook her head.
"Em can you go see if Melissa is okay? We will be out soon" Harley asked looking at her girlfriend
"Sure" Emily kissed her on the cheek on the way out of the room.
"I have to ask this… Is there a chance you could be pregnant?" the doctor asked gently
Hanna pulled a face "I'm about month late…" she said softly "I haven't told anyone…not even Travis…"
Harley gave a slight smile "I won't say anything to anyone." She said truthfully, she looked at the painkiller packets and picked up one "This one is safe to take if you are." She handed them to Hanna "I think you should do a test so you know for sure" she suggested gently
Hanna nodded "Thank you…"
"I can go and get a test for you if you like." Harley offered
"No it's okay, I will get one" Hanna smiled after she had swallowed the painkillers
"If it comes back positive come and see me, I can do a blood test to make sure." Harley gave a small smile "Have you been taking folate?"
Hanna shook her head.
"Alright well if you are pregnant, it's a good idea to." Harley said "Come on" she held out her hand "Let's go back out there"
Hanna took Harley's offered hand and stood up. She stepped forwards and hugged the taller woman "Thank you for being so nice to me, even after I accused you of cheating and hit you…"
"You're more than welcome Hanna. You are a true friend." Harley said sincerely as she returned the hug "We can blame it on hormones, okay?" she said softly
Hanna chuckled slightly "Okay. I will come and see you if it's positive…"
"Good. Come on I need to check on Melissa" Harley said and took the blondes hand and led her back down to the lounge room.
Harley went over and crouched down next to Melissa. "How are you feeling? And don't try to put on a front…" she said softly.
Melissa smiled weakly "I am tired" she nodded
"Alright I am going to put you back into bed so you can rest, okay" Harley said. She removed the drip from the stand and placed the bag on her cousin's lap.
"I will see you later" Melissa said to the group before Harley picked her up and carried her back down to the guest room. Harley came back and got the stand and went back to Melissa.
"Are you okay Spence?" Emily asked concerned
"Yeah I just… Melissa is sick and I can't believe she didn't tell me…" Spencer said still slightly confused and in shock
Emily nodded in understanding.
"I can't believe Harley didn't say anything. Did she tell you?" Spencer said still trying to process what she had found out.
"No, she only just told me when I went into the bathroom." Emily said honestly
Harley came back into the lounge room "Does anyone want a cuppa? Tea, coffee?"
"Sure, tea please babe" Emily smiled
"Coffee thanks" Spencer said
"Tea please" Hanna said
Harley pointed at Spencer "Black?" Spencer nodded "How do you have your tea Hanna?" She asked
"Milk and 2 sugar, thanks" Hanna responded
"Okay, won't be long" Harley walked into the kitchen
"How are you Emily?" Spencer asked remembering the reason they were there in the first place.
"I know Harley stretched the truth…" Emily let out a breath "But I also understand why she did. She is a doctor, she can't tell me things about her patients"
Hanna looked down at her hand that was bandaged "I need to take a pregnancy test. I am a month late…" she said softly
Emily and Spencer looked surprised at the blonde.
"I am telling you so Harley doesn't have to lie to you. Again…" Hanna said looking between them "She asked me so I could take painkillers that were safe, just in case. And offered to do the blood test to confirm it" she said honestly "I haven't even told Travis yet…"
Emily smiled at Hanna "Thank you Han" she said sincerely
Spencer smiled too.
"I don't know what I am going to do if I am…" Hanna said worried and chewed her lip.
"Take the test first Han" Spencer said "I have been late before" she smiled reassuringly
"That is one thing I don't have to worry about" Emily said then paused "Until we… umm I want to have kids" she hoped they missed her slip
Hanna smiled "You and Harley have talked about having kids?" she raised an eyebrow
"Kind of…" Emily said vaguely
Hanna and Spencer looked at each other and smiled knowingly.
"How do you kind of talk about it?" Spencer asked curious
"Well we know that we both want to have kids one day" Emily explained
"So who would carry it?" Hanna asked smiling at the tan woman.
"We haven't talked that much about it" Emily blushed
"But you have thought about having kids together with Harley?" Spencer asked intrigued
"Yeah" Emily smiled and blushed as she nodded.
Harley came back out and placed the mugs down in front of the younger women. Harley looked at Emily puzzled. Emily blushed more.
Hanna smiled at the couple, as she imagined them as parents.
"I am really sorry you found out this way Spencer" Harley said sincerely when she sat down
"Why didn't she want to tell anyone?" Spencer asked puzzled
"I think she didn't want anyone worrying about her. I did suggest that she should at least tell you and your Mum and Dad." Harley shrugged "Is there anything you wanted to ask me?" she looked her younger cousin in the eye
Spencer thought about it "I know you don't know everything… but is she going to be okay?" she asked concerned
Harley nodded "It was caught early enough that she has a good chance for a full recovery." She said honestly
Spencer nodded "Thank you" she smiled
Harley gave a half smile.
Hanna and Spencer finished their drinks and said goodbye to the couple.
"Would you like to stay the night?" Harley asked her girlfriend
"Sure. Do you need any help with Melissa?" Emily asked
"I should be okay thanks" Harley smiled "I would just like your company" she said honestly
Emily leant up and gave Harley a kiss.
"I really do want us to move in together" Harley said when she and Emily got into bed "I had already offered for Melissa to stay with me and she didn't want anyone knowing. I didn't want to put you in an awkward situation." She said honestly "That's if you still want to?" she said timidly
Emily smiled "Of course I want to move in with you. I thought you didn't want to"
Harley let out a breath "Do you want to look for a place together?" she wrapped an arm around Emily
"Don't you have a lease on this place?" Emily asked
"Yes but I thought you might like to get a place that is ours" Harley said brushing a strand of hair out of Emily's face gently.
Emily smiled again "You have thought about this haven't you?"
Harley nodded "I have"
"How long have you got left on your lease?" Emily rubbed her hand over Harley's abs
"A couple of months. Why?" Harley asked
"What if I move in here?" Emily asked "We can look together for a place when your lease expires"
"Okay, if that's what you want" Harley smiled then winced because of her split lip.
Emily run her thumb gently over Harley's lip "Does it hurt still?"
"Only when I move it." Harley kissed her thumb "You could kiss it better for me" she said playfully
Emily kissed her cheek "Better?" she smirked
"You missed a bit" Harley said pointing to her lip
Emily smiled then kissed her lip. Harley moved her hand up quickly to the back of Emily's head and kissed her back. Emily sighed into the kiss as it deepened. She moved so she was laying on top of Harley then kissed her again. Harley ran her hands down Emily's back and then up again. It was a loving kiss, both women conveying what they meant to each other with their lips and tongues.
"I love you" Harley said when it broke
"I love you too" Emily kissed her again "Does it feel better now?"
"Much" Harley gave a half smile as to not to spilt her lip again
"Good" Emily grinned and moved off her
"Harley?" Melissa called out
"I will be right back" Harley kissed Emily "Coming Mel" she called out and got out of bed.
She opened the door on the guest room.
"I need to go to the bathroom" Melissa said slightly embarrassed
"It's okay I won't stay in the room, if you don't want me to" Harley said as she removed the drip bag from its stand
"Thanks" Melissa said
Harley scooped her up and took her into the bathroom "Are you okay to stand?"
Melissa nodded and stood. Harley made sure she was steady on her feet before letting her go.
"I will be okay" Melissa said nodding
"Alright I will be right outside. If you need me please let me know. I don't want you to have a fall okay?"
"Okay, thanks" Melissa said nodding
Harley waited outside the door.
"I'm finished" Melissa called out
Harley walked back in, Melissa was holding on to the sink. Harley scooped her up again and carried her into the spare room.
"Thank you so much for this. I didn't realise how much the treatment would make me weak." Melissa said once she was settled back into bed
"That is why I suggested that I look after you" Harley smiled "Do you need anything else?"
"No, I am okay" Melissa smiled "Are you and Emily okay?" she asked concerned
"Yeah we are, she is still here" Harley said honestly "Just call me if you need anything, goodnight Mel" she gave a half smile
"Thanks, goodnight Harley" Melissa smiled
"Melissa okay?" Emily asked when Harley came back into the room.
"Yep" Harley said as she hopped into bed
"So you have this week off?" Emily asked as she wrapped her arms around Harley
"I have to look after Melissa but yes I don't have to go into work why?" Harley asked
Emily looked away then back "You want to move in together this week?"
"Okay, if you are sure" Harley said looking her in the eye
"I am sure" Emily smiled
"Okay." Harley said and kissed her
"So why were you blushing earlier?" Harley asked once the kiss broke
Emily smiled "Hanna told us she needs to take a pregnancy test…"
Harley nodded for her to continue.
"Then I said I don't need to worry about it, until we want kids" Emily blushed again
"That's true" Harley smiled
"They asked me if I had thought about having kids with you" Emily blushed
Harley smiled again "I take it you said yes?"
Emily nodded.
"Have you ever thought about having kids with anyone else?" Harley asked brushing a strand of hair out of Emily's face gently
Emily paused and thought about it "Not really. Have you?"
Harley looked at Emily "No. I was too busy trying to become fully qualified when I was with Stephanie to think about it properly and I had Tiff" she said honestly
"Really" Emily smiled.
Harley gave a crocked smiled "I would make an honest woman out of you first, or your mother will not be very impressed with us" she chuckled "We can't exactly say it was an accident"
Emily felt her heart skip a beat "Did you just say you will marry me before we have kids?" she asked grinning
Harley smiled back "Yeah, I guess I did" she nodded
Emily leant up for a kiss "I am going to hold you to that" she said just before their lips met
Harley felt butterflies going crazy as they kissed. The thought of marrying Emily making her feel completely happy and contented. Emily moved over the top of the taller woman having the exact same feelings about marrying Harley.
"I love you" Harley panted once the kiss broke
"I love you too" Emily panted then leant down to kiss Harley again slipping a leg between the taller woman's legs and lightly ground down on Harley's leg.
Harley broke the kiss "Do you want to…?" she panted softly looking up into Emily's eyes
Emily nodded "Yes" she panted
Harley kissed her again and rolled them over removing her own pyjamas, Emily rolled them back over and pulled her own off. Harley widened her legs. Emily slipped between them as they were kissing. Emily started rocking back and forward, rubbing her core against Harley's. Harley bent her knees drawing them up towards her chest as she ran her hands to tan hips, pulling Emily down firmly onto herself. Emily let out a moan into the kiss as she kept rocking back and forward, the new angle causing both their sensitive bundles of nerves to grind against each other. The pressure inside both women increasing rapidly. The kiss broke as they both drew in sharp breaths.
"Fuck Em" Harley whispered as the pleasurable throb between her legs intensified.
Emily moaned again and latched her teeth onto a pale shoulder biting down as the pressure increased, as she continued to grind her hips into Harley.
Harley moved a hand over her mouth to stop from making a noise as she got closer to the edge.
Harley's legs started twitching. Emily pushed her hips slightly harder into the taller woman, they fell over the edge together, the pleasure radiating through their whole bodies. Emily bit down hard on a muscular shoulder to stop from making a loud noise. Harley bit her hand, panting heavily.
Emily ran a hand down to Harley's core once she came down from her high, slipping two fingers into the doctor and started to piston them slow and deeply.
"Shit" Harley hissed quietly. She ran a hand down to Emily's core slipping two fingers into the shorter woman, pumping them slightly faster than Emily was doing to her.
"Fuck… Harley" Emily said softly before she crashed their lips together for a searing kiss.
The coil at the base of both their spines winding up tighter and tighter as they kept pistoning into each other. They both let out moans into the kiss. Harley's back started arching slowly off the bed. Emily's toes started curling. The kiss broke as they sucked in quick breaths gazing into each other's eyes. Harley surged forwards capturing Emily's lips a moment before the coil snapped hard, Emily moaned into the kiss as she came undone around Harley's fingers, both keeping them moving for as long as they could helping prolong their orgasms washing over them, stopping when both their backs went limp. They both were breathing hard.
Harley blinked as her ears pricked to a familiar but slightly worrying noise. Emily moved off the taller woman noticing the concerned look on the doctor's face.
"I love you" Harley said before kissing Emily, she grabbed her pyjamas and quickly pulled them on, she stood up still a little weak-kneed and moved out of the bedroom.
Melissa looked up when Harley entered the room "Sorry…" she said weakly but sincerely
"It's okay Mel" Harley said honestly "It is all my fault. I should have left the bucket closer to you." she gave a half smile "Is it on you or just the floor?" she asked
Melissa looked "It is on the bed and the floor" she said slightly embarrassed
Harley nodded "It is not a problem, I will clean it all up" she tenderly touched her cousin's forehead "How do you feel?" she asked concerned
"I still feel nauseous…" Melissa said and swallowed hard, Harley grabbed the bucket quickly and held it up for her cousin, soothingly rubbing Melissa's back as she was sick into it. "Sorry…" Melissa said weakly
"Mel you have nothing to be sorry for" Harley said gently "I love and care about you that is why I am doing this. I knew exactly what I was getting myself into when I offered to look after you. I promised you I would hold your hand through every step of this battle we are fighting together and I meant it" she said honestly
"Thanks Harley, I love you too" Melissa said giving a weak smile "I think I need a shower…" she said noticing her top
"Okay, we can do that" Harley nodded "No worries"
"Do you two need some help?" Emily asked as she poked her head in the room
The two cousins looked up at her and both gave a weak smile.
"I will strip and remake the bed while you do the shower" Emily said looking at the mess then back at Harley
"Thank you Emily…" Melissa said sincerely
"No problem, Melissa" Emily replied honestly and smiling
Once they had helped Melissa and cleaned up all the mess they got back into bed together.
"You can't really leave her can you?" Emily asked wrapping her arms around her girlfriend
"No, she will need me all week" Harley said honestly
Emily nodded.
Harley reached behind the framed picture of the couple on her bedside table and picked up a small gift box. "I was going to give this to you after Melissa is okay to go home by herself" she said handing the box to Emily "But I want you to have it now"
Emily gave a puzzled look but opened the box and smiled, it was a key on a round metal keyring "I love my pathologist" she read out what was written on one side of the keyring, she turned it over and there was a picture of a human heart on the other side "That is sweet" she kissed Harley's cheek and placed it on the bedside table.
Harley gave a half smile "I was going to tell you, it is your key so you can come round whenever you want to, but now it's your key to our flat" she said truthfully "When Melissa feels better, we will go into the real estate and you can co-sign the lease so it is officially as well"
Emily smiled "I would like that"
"Good" Harley said "Don't worry about any of the bills either, we can work that after you move in fully okay?" she said then yawned
"Okay. You need some sleep" Emily said giving her a quick kiss "I love you"
"Love you too" Harley said sleepily as she wrapped her arms around Emily and drifted to sleep.
Emily rested her head on Harley's chest 'I am going to be able to do this every night' she thought to herself 'I am so lucky' she let out a contented sigh and drifted into a peaceful sleep.
