Hello beautiful people! I'm really happy with the feedback from the last chapter, so this week I'm updating three times Monday (which is today where I live), Wednesday, and Friday. Just like the old days for all my day one readers ;) Friday is gonna be the grand finale of this story, but then my new fic will come out on February 1st, so there's not gonna be a really long hiatus. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter!


Emily's POV

I sent a text to the girls as soon as the baby was ready to be seen. Shay is all cleaned up and is sleeping peacefully in my arms, I admired her features while I was waiting for the girls, her creamy soft skin, her long eyelashes, her delicate wisps of blonde hair.

She's perfect.

"Emily? Ali? Is it okay to come inside?" Spencer asked softly in the doorway. "I also brought you both some clothes before we left. So Em, you can change whenever you're ready."

We smiled and Ali waved her hand signaling that they could come inside.

"Hey mama, how ya feeling?" Hanna smirked.

"I'm a little sore," Ali admitted. "those eleven hours were totally worth it."

"You're quite the trooper. No drugs at all right?" Spencer asked.

"Nope, not even an epidural." She smiled. "I'm a little worried about germs, so if you wanna hold the baby I'm going to have to ask you to wash your hands."

"Well, are you going to keep us in suspense? What did you guys have? Name?" Hanna asked.

"Weight? Length? We wanna know everything." Aria added.

"Her name is Shay Ashley Fields, born on September 14th, 2015 at 10:06PM after eleven hours of labor, sweat and tears. She's six pounds and four ounces and 14 inches long." I rambled.

"Why is her middle name Ashley? Like is that after my mom, Ashley?" Hanna asked.

"Your mom has always been kind to all of us, Han." Alison looked directly at Hanna. "She has a special place in both mine and Emily's hearts and we're forever grateful that your mother has been a part of all our lives. I always admired her strength and determination, it just sounded like it would fit nicely too."

"Hey Spence? Can you call all the parents? I want them to see Shay too." I smiled.

Spencer's eyes twinkled and she nodded. "Toby is still in the lobby, can he come in too?"

"Of course he can Spencer."

"Okay my hands are clean, do you mind Em?" Aria asked.

"Yeah," I gently transferred Shay into Aria's arms. "watch her head, okay perfect."

"Alison, she's beautiful! She looks like a little you already." Aria cooed. "She's a little peanut!"

"Em, can you do my a favor?" Alison asked sweetly.

"Yeah, of course I can. I don't want you out of this bed unless it's absolutely necessary."

"Can you call Cece? She should be here too, she has a shop opening in Philly soon and she's probably been at the store all week. I feel bad that she wasn't able to come to our wedding."

"Absolutely, let me just step out for a second okay?" I kissed the top of her head.

I walked out of our hospital room and dialed Cece's number, before I actually called her I could see Toby's sweet smile as he gave me a big hug.

"Hey Em! Congrats on the new baby..?"

"Girl, she's inside, Ali has this new mom thing about germs so if you want to hold the baby, you need to wash your hands."

"What's her name Em?"

"Shay."


Alison's POV

It's a totally new thing to watch my friends coo and fall in love with Shay. I fell in love all over again as soon as I saw her, it's a totally new thing for me. I feel elated just from being surrounded by all the happiness from everyone visiting. When A was still harassing us I wouldn't have pictured a moment as happy as this one.

"Heeeey kiddo! Did you miss me?"

"Cece? Oh my gosh I'm so glad you're here" I smiled.

Cece smirked. "I know you missed my ass, kiddo. Is it gonna hurt you if I give you a hug?"

"I don't think so, come here." I pulled her in close.

"Ugh you smell like birth and sweat." She teased.

"I just had a baby like two hours ago, excuse me for not showering quite yet." I chuckled.

"I'm just busting your balls, kiddo." She laughed.

"I ship this." Emily smirked.

"What?!" I shrieked.

"Only as friends of course! I didn't marry the love of my life to just donate her to Cece. No offense!" She defended while laughing.

"Oh hush!" I playfully swatted Emily. "Hey Spence, when are our parents coming?"

"They're coming around one in the afternoon."

"Sounds good to me. Anyone have any objections?" Emily asked.

"Whatever makes you both happy. I'm okay with my parents showing up." Spencer replied.

"I'm really glad that we get to share a moment as happy as this one, you all mean a lot to us. Throughout our fights, hardships, successes and triumphs; we're all here together." Emily smiled.

"Awww Em, come here you big glob of mushy squash!" I teased.

Shay started to cry. "Annd so it begins" Cece joked.

"I bet she's hungry, can I ask you guys to step out for a few minutes?"

Choruses of 'of course', 'sure' and 'get outta my way' were heard until the door quietly clicked closed.

I pulled down my gown and started breast feeding Shay.

"Babe?"

I turned and looked at Emily.

"You did great." She replied kissing my forehead.

"Thank you for sticking with me, it means the world to me." I kissed her cheek.


The parents came in and they were all so happy. Pam was practically crying, my dad and Wayne were so proud.

"Hey moms, sorry I'm late, I was a little caught up with something." Ashley rushed out nervously.

"Ms. Marin, don't worry, we wanted you here. That's all that matters." Emily smiled.

"Congratulations on your baby." She shifted awkwardly.

"Would you like to hold her?" Emily asked.

"Um, I- yes." She stumbled out.

"Her name is Shay Ashley Fields." I spoke softly.

"Yeah, we got her middle name from you." Emily added.

"Me? But...why?"

"Because you've done a lot for us, Ms. Marin. You acted as a mom to me when I needed guidance, you immediately accepted Emily when she came out, you've really done so much for all of us and I couldn't ever find a way to repay you for your kindness. Even when you were going through your divorce with Tom, you showed no visible signs of sadness, your resilience and strength inspired us. Thank you for being there for us." I smiled.

She sniffled and looked at Shay's face. "She looks so much like you Alison, I'm sure your mother would be proud that you finally let Emily love and care for you. It doesn't make you strong to hide your emotions, it breaks you down inside. You're one of the most inspiring people in all of Rosewood." Ashley grinned.

"Only my girl can come back from the dead and be able to move on, I'm very proud of you Alison. I know I wasn't home a lot, I should have been home more, but you've made an excellent step forward into your new life with Emily and Shay." He kissed the top of my head. "I'm gonna get going, Jason needed my help with his new place and your head is probably spinning from all the visitors."

"Emmy, your mother and I are heading out too. I know you'll take good care of our granddaughter." Pam and Wayne exchanged hugs with us.

"We ought to go too, Peter and I have a flight to catch, good luck with your daughter, Emily and you too Alison. You were brave to not take any drugs for the delivery." Veronica smiled while Peter nodded.

The Montgomery's had a prior engagement and had to leave earlier so that left us with Ashley, who's been staring lovingly at Shay for the last ten minutes.

"Ms. Marin? Are you okay?" I asked.

She smiled happily. "You both really think that highly of me?"

"Of course we do!" Emily smiled.

"Thank you, for being good to Hanna. She's all I have in this world and it means so much to me that you both have gone out of her way to make her feel better about herself or save her life a couple times." She sighed. "I better get going too, you've been mobbed since your baby was born so I'll see you both when you bring her home?"

"That would be nice." I nodded. "Thank you again Ms. Marin, for all that you've done."

She smiled genuinely gave Shay back to Emily and waved goodbye.

Now we have our baby to ourselves.
