Alison's POV

2 days. 48 hours. 2880 minutes. 17,820 seconds. Too many ticks of the clock. A lot can happen, and a lot can change in 1 hour, let alone 48. A lot can change in seconds, in the blink of an eye even. I've waited too long to be with Emily. I've waited years. It seems strange..if you asked me 6 years ago now, to wait 2 days...and Emily would be home. 2 days and Emily and I would end up together...I would've said that was no problem. But now, I can't wait. I can't just sit here and pretend that everything is okay, or that it will actually happen. You just don't know...and I need Emily. I need her to come back. If she doesn't, I honestly don't know what I'm going to do.

I walk into the new nursery and pick up little baby Fields. It's crazy how much she looks like Em. My little peanut, Megan Pamela Fields. I've decided that she's the only one who will get me through the day today.

"Hey baby. You'll get to meet your other mommy soon. Yeah! You wanna meet your other mommy? You want her to come home? Me too sweetie."

We spent most of the day just lounging around by the pool, and I wrote a little bit more for my book. I send my book off next week to get finalized and then it will hit the shelves a month or so after that. Megan starts getting fussy, so I feed her and bring her upstairs to put her to bed. She even sleeps like Emily, sprawled out with an arm resting by her head. When I finish marveling at my precious little girl, I start to walk out of her room and there's a knock at the door. I know that it won't wake Megan up, she's a heavy sleeper just like Em. I still walk down the stairs, tiptoeing each step to the front door. When I open the door, there she stands. My beautiful wife holding a bouquet of roses, a bottle of wine, and my favorite ice cream. My arms cling around her and hold her tight.

"I missed you." I say.

"I missed you too." I pull away from our hug and I claim her lips. God I missed how her lips felt against mine. The kiss is filled with desperation and passion. It's been too long without kissing her, holding her, and being around her. We finally break apart and head inside.

She puts my flowers in a vase and the ice cream in the freezer. I can see that she's walking with a noticeable limp. We head into the living room and sit on the couch. I curl my body into her, with my arms around her waist.

"Is your leg okay?" I ask.

"Yeah, my knee is just a little sore. I'll be okay. I promise"

"What happened? With him?"

"I took care of it. It's all okay now, and I'll never have to leave again." She says in a whisper. I'm glad that it's all over, but she probably had to do something she didn't want too. I can hear the hurt and disappointment in her voice.

"I thought you weren't going to be home until tomorrow?" My voice calls out, filled with question.

"Me too. Boss let me come back tonight, I thought the paperwork would take until tomorrow."

"I'm glad you're here."

"Me too princess." She says and kisses the top of my head. We sit in silence for a while, just taking each other in. She finally breaks the silence when she lifts me off of her so she can look in my eyes. "Are we okay?" She asks as her brown eyes are locked onto mine. I can see the twinkle in her eye, the same twinkle she gets before she breaks down. It only happens once in a great while, so this look I know.

"Yeah, we're better than okay." I connect our lips again, but this time it's short and sweet. She pulls back and this time her eyes are filled with glimmer and happiness.

"So what was it that you wanted to tell me?" She says with a big smile on her face. I missed her beautiful smile too.

"How about I show you?" She nods her head and I stand up and extend my hand for her to follow me. I walk upstairs and my heart starts beating uncontrollably fast. When I reach Megan's room, I pause for a minute and take a deep breath. I open the door and turn on the lights. Emily looks at me all puzzled when she sees the crib. I walk over and pick Megan up and place her into Emily's arms.

"This is our daughter, Megan Pamela Fields." Emily's eyes dart down at Megan and back up to me. Her eyes get that twinkle in them again, but this time it's for better reason.

"What? How did you? When did you? Why didn't you tell me? I would've-"

"It's okay. It was going to be a surprise. I was going to tell you the day you left, on the video there was a picture at the end. With something like 'We love you' and it was a picture of me in front of the house. I had her on April 4th, so she's almost 2 months now."

"You're amazing. Why didn't you tell me before I left. I wouldn't have gone until they absolutely needed me."

"Because it wasn't the right way to tell you. Plus, I wanted to be able to see your face when I told you too."

"Still Ali, I would've never left. Where did you find the sperm donor? Because damn she sure looks a lot like me."

"That's because she's actually yours. She's a lot like you too. Loves to eat, gets sleepy after she eats, sleeps in the same position as you, has the same smile as you, and another plus..she's a heavy sleeper like you too." Her eyes stare at me again. Her attention completely away from her little bundle in her arms. "I called your old base, found out where your eggs were kept..and I took them. Pretty easy actually."

"You are amazing."

"You said that already." I tease. Her lips meet mine and I can feel her tears finally pour out as they run along my face. Megan forces us to break apart as she starts shifting in Emily's arms.

"Hi baby. Hi little Meg. I'm your other mommy. We both love you so much." Her finger traces along Megan's cheeks and forces a smile out of Megan. Those 2 will be the death of me, they're both so adorable.

AN: Sorry for any confusion from last chapter. Hopefully it's all cleared up now! I'll be on break now for over a month, so updates may become more frequent! Thanks for all the love and support! Hope you enjoyed.
