Hi guys! Another chapter is up!

This chapter is not edited. Which means that I haven't read it over and corrected any mistakes. It's late and I have to get up early tomorrow.

Now the reason I'm getting up so early tomorrow is because I'm going skiing. And I have to use my whole sunday by sitting in a small school bus and driving to Norway. We're driving for 12 hours and that means a lot of writing and reading time (and probably sleeping time as well) So I will of course use as much time as I can to write. But I will not be writing on the trip itself, because we are basically using all the days on skiing so I just won't have the time for it. Only at night and I will most likely be too tired, but I will try. I'm coming back home on Friday night (9pm, DK time)

Before you guys go ahead and read the chapter, I want to say that I have basically used my whole day today on catching up on my story "A Reason To Smile", because I haven't written on that in a very long time and I just needed to catch up. So I will set this story on a little pause, and try and write on my other stories, because they deserve to be finished and not just let behind and abandoned. I will probably work on "A Reason To Smile" in the bus tomorrow and I will see if I can find time (and network) to post the chapter. I don't need much more on the next chapter, so it should be quick. But I can't promise anything. Let's see what happens.

Now you can read on! Thank you and wish me luck! It's my first time skiing so I'm a little nervous. Hopefully I won't break anything. Thank you for reading.


Emma and Regina sat in the waiting room with their kids as they heard Rooney and Eve fighting. They couldn't hear the exact words, but it was loud enough to hear the yelling. Regina leaned her head on her wife's shoulder, looking for comfort, and Emma turned her head and kissed her forehead, giving her the comfort she knew her wife needed. It was so hard to hear the two girls fighting and it broke their hearts deeply, knowing how much they loved each other.

"EVE!", they heard Rooney's voice and a second later, they saw Eve walking down the hall, tears streaming down her face. Emma stood from her seat and walked over to Eve who just held up her hand, stopping the blonde.

"I'm gonna call Annalise", she said without stopping or even turning to Emma and the blonde and the rest of the family frowned looking at the tall woman as she walked out of the hospital.

Emma sighed and walked down the hall towards her daughter's room, walking inside and the sight broke her heart. Her daughter was crying her heart out, her face and eyes red, tears running down her face as she laid helplessly in the bed. Emma sighed and closed the door behind her before walking over to her daughter and laying down in the bed, immediately bringing her arms around her crying daughter, Rooney immediately crying into her mother's body.

None of them said anything for a long time. They didn't have to either. Rooney needed to cry out and Emma needed to be there for her as her mother. And it didn't take long before Rooney fell asleep crying her heart out, and Emma let a tear of her own fall after minutes of holding it back.


"Annalise please. Edmund is in a bad situation. I need you to come down here, please", Eve begged into the phone and she could hear Annalise sigh into the phone, and Eve knew she had her. "Thank you Annalise. Bye"

Eve pulled away the phone and looked down at it, tears still rolling down her face. What was she thinking? She loved Rooney more than anything and she just ruined it by walking out on her. Anger build up inside and before she could stop herself, she stood from the couch and threw the phone into the wall, making both the phone and the wall break.

"Wow, what's going on?", a voice said and Eve turned to see her mother walk inside with a suitcase behind her. She sat back down in the couch and buried her face in her legs as she curled herself up on the couch. Elisabeth sighed and walked over to her daughter sitting down next to her and brought her arms around her.

"Is this about Edmund? Cause you we will get him out", Elisabeth asked, but Eve shook her head and cried harder against her mother's neck. "Then what happened sweetie? Tell me"

Eve shook her head and Elisabeth accepted her daughter's wish of not wanting to talk about it. So she just held her daughter as the woman cried out until she fell asleep.


5 Years Ago

"Rooney!", Laura's voice was heard through the hallway of the school and the tall girl turned to her best friend with a smile.

"Hey Laura. What's going on?"

"Will has asked if we wanted to come to the park with him and some of his friends", Laura asked and Rooney smiled nodding.

"Really? That's great! When?"

"Today after school", Laura said opening her own locker and Rooney smiled nodding.

"Great. I gotta get to class, I'll see you then", she said and hugged her best friend before running down the hall towards her classroom.

After school they walked outside and was met by Will and his friends, and Rooney met another girl's eyes, a smile on the girl's face and Rooney couldn't stop the blush on her face. The girl was certainly beautiful.

"Alright, let's go", Will said and they all smiled and cheered following the boy down the road. Rooney walked with Laura, but she could feel heavy eyes on her and she turned to see the girl from before looking at her, a smirk on her face. Rooney blushed hard and turned to Laura who was apparently talking to her.


Present Time

"When can I take him home?", Rooney asked as she and her brunette mother stood by the door and doctor Whale sighed looking down at the boy in the incubator.

"It's still hard to say. It really depends on his healing process and how he takes his new life. He's still young and he can't live without the incubator for now. So at least another month", he said and Rooney sighed and turned to her mother, who immediately saw the tears in her daughter's eyes.

"It's okay baby. He will be okay", she said and Rooney nodded taking a deep breath. Everything was just falling apart. She was fighting with Eve and her son could die any moment. Life was just not fair.

"We will take great care of him here, don't ever doubt that", doctor Whale assured the newly mother and Rooney nodded walking over to her son.

"When am I able to breastfeed him?", she asked and Whale sighed turning to the boy.

"I think you should wait with that for at least another week, maybe two. Right now we feed him milk via his wires, so he will be get enough food", he assured her once more and Rooney nodded turning to look down at her son. Whale opened the incubator and took Wes into his arms gently before giving him over to his mother.

Rooney smiled down at her son as she held him, his small face, lightening up the room. He still had his eyes closed, and Rooney couldn't wait to see what eye color he would have. She desperately hoped for him to have Eve's brown eyes, but she wouldn't mind if he got her own darker brown ones. It was obvious he was going to have dark hair, but how dark, Rooney was just as excited about.

Everything about her little boy and his growth excited her. What features would he get and from whom? How tall would he become? Obviously he would become quite tall because both her and Eve was over the five ten. What kind of personality would he inherit? Who's hunger would he get? Who's behavior would he inherit? All those small questions ran through Rooney's mind and she couldn't wait to get them all answered one by one.

"I love you so much baby boy", she whispered kissing his head gently and Regina and Whale smiled at the action as they watched the girl. They knew the girl was gonna be an amazing mother. "I know none of this is fair baby, but I believe in you. Mama and I both believe in you. You're so strong baby, and I love you so much"

The boy moved his fisted hand slightly and Rooney instantly took it into her own palm, caressing the small hand gently. She moved him up and held him against her shoulder, hugging him as tight as she could without hurting him and closed her eyes, saving the moment.

"I'll see you soon baby", she whispered against his small ear and kissed his head one last time before turning to Whale who immediately stepped forwards and took the boy, putting him back in the incubator. Rooney sighed and turned to her mother who smiled back at her.

"Let's go", she whispered and Rooney nodded turning to look at her son one last time before walking out of the room, tears rolling down her face. They walked out of the hospital and out to the car getting inside. Regina didn't even get to close the door before Rooney broke into her cries, and she sighed and brought her arms around her daughter, holding her tight.

"It's okay sweetie. It's okay", she whispered and Rooney continued to cry in her mother's eyes. After a few minutes, Rooney stopped crying and Regina drove them home. They walked inside and was met by the rest of their family and Violet, Crevan and Emmett all walked up to their sister hugging her tight in a group hug and Rooney immediately felt the tears coming again.


"Edmund Rothlo. It stands here in your file that your record is clean. Completely", detective Rizzoli said as they sat in the interrogation room and Edmund looked at the woman. "How can you go from being a lawyer with a clean record to become a first degree murderer?", she asked and Edmund sighed looking down. Not getting any answer, the detective and sighed raising her eyebrows in an unamused look.

"Why did you shoot her?"

Edmund kept looking down at his handcuffed hands keeping quiet. Rizzoli sighed and leaned back in her seat. "I'm sorry for your loss", she suddenly said and Edmund looked up at her in such a fast motion, the detective actually worried for his neck.

"Excuse me?"

"Your daughter. It says here on your record that your lost a daughter a couple of years back", she explained and Edmund was about to answer when the door opened.

"This interview is over, my client is not saying anything more, until I've had a talk with him", Annalise said as she walked in and Edmund sighed standing from his seat and Rizzoli nodded sighing deep, while the guards took off the man's handcuffs.

"He's all yours then", she said and Annalise gave a smile before following her client out of the door, leaving the detective alone in the room.

"How much did you say?", Annalise asked Edmund as they walked out of the station and Edmund shook his head.

"Nothing. I kept quiet", he said and Annalise nodded.

"Good. We're going back to my place, there you will give your statement to me and my team"

Edmund frowned at her. "How? I'm arrested, you can't just take me out", he said and Annalise shook her head as she sat in the car, Edmund following suit.

"Normally I wouldn't no, but I have a friend on the inside and I've gotten the go to take you back to my house here in Boston, since it legally is a help for our case", she said and Edmund sighed and nodded letting Annalise drive them back to her house. Once there they got out of the car and walked inside. They walked inside and Edmund immediately felt arms around him, immediately recognizing the arms of his sister.

"Thank god you're okay", she whispered and Edmund sighed nodding.

"Does Rooney know you're here?", he asked and Eve nodded short not saying anything else and Edmund knew she hadn't told her, but didn't say anything. He walked over to a chair in the middle of the room and sat down in front of the four students and two adults.

"Everybody this is Edmund Rothlo, Eve's younger brother. He's convicted for shooting a woman named Rose McCallister, and what our job is, we don't know yet. So Edmund. Take it away", Annalise said and they all turned to Edmund, ready to hear his story.

"The story is short. I shot Rose because she was threatening Eve and Rooney with a gun herself", he started out and they all looked at each other, some of them writing it down. "Rose was Eve's ex girlfriend, and she wanted revenge from when Eve cheated on her", he continued and they all turned to Eve who looked down in shame. She looked up and met Annalise's eyes, and Eve knew the woman knew. It was definitely her.

"Rose shot Rooney a second before I shot her. I shot her out of defense"

They students gasped and Laurel stood immediately, her pregnant stomach showing.

"Is she okay? How is she?", she asked and they all turned to Eve who nodded.

"She survived, don't worry", she answered and she could see Laurel sigh in deep relief. She had just lost Wes and she was now pregnant with their baby. Just like Rooney was. Eve sighed and walked over to the girl, hugging her tight and Laurel immediately accepted it, hugging her back.

"Rooney was pregnant as well", Eve said before she could stop herself and they all gasped, except for Annalise and Edmund. Laurel pulled back from the hug and looked up at the tall woman.

"What happened to the baby?", Connor asked and Eve turned to him smiling at him.

"He survived, but Rooney had to give birth early via c-section. She was only six months far", she said and they all shared sad looks. Eve sighed and turned to Laurel looking into her eyes.

"We've named our son Wes", she whispered and Laurel felt her eyes tear up, immediately bringing her arms around the tall woman once more.

"Thank you", she whispered and Eve smiled sadly hugging the girl back.

"Your son? He's yours too?", Asher asked and Eve nodded pulling back from the hug.

"Rooney and I started dating a back in September and she became pregnant after a couple of weeks together"

The students looked at her in frowns and Eve understood their confusion. She had to come up with something quickly. "I'm not like other girls", she said and and the students stood confused for a moment before Asher grinned.

"Nice", he said and crossing his arms nodding his head impressed and they all turned to him.

"What? What is it?", Michaela asked and Asher turned to her.

"You don't get it?"

The other students shook their heads and Asher sighed deep. "She has the D", he said and both Eve, Annalise and even Bonnie rolled their eyes at the man while Edmund and Frank chuckled. Edmund and Annalise both knew it wasn't true, but they understood the woman's choice. They had to come up with something. It was not like they could tell them it was true love's magic.

"Really?", Connor asked and with an amused look and Eve smiled a little nodding.

"Then I guess it's good you're gay, huh?", Asher said and they all tuned to him, frowns on their faces making his smile disappear. After a few seconds of awkward silence, Annalise decided to break it before Asher became more red than he already was.

"Alright enough about Eve and her private parts, we have a case to run. Now we are going to prove that mr. Rothlo shot Rose McCallister out of defense. As I hope you already understand, we can't reveal that Eve and Rooney are dating, since their relationship is illegal", she said and they all nodded.

"We told the detective that we were Rooney's aunt and uncle, Emma's siblings", Edmund explained and Annalise nodded turning to her students.

"You know what to do"


Rooney walked over to Eve's house, tending to make it good again with her girlfriend again. It was the first time they had ever fought and it scared Rooney like hell. Fighting with Eve was so harder than she had thought it would be. Just seeing the anger in Eve's eyes being directed towards her. She never wanted to see that again.

She walked up to the door and knocked on the door gently. After a few seconds of waiting, she sighed and knocked again not receiving any answer. Furrowing her eyebrows she pulled out her keychain and took the key Eve had given to her unlocking the door and walking inside. The house was clean after the shooting and everything was back in place.

This was the first time Rooney was in the house since the shooting and it felt wired being there again. But without Eve it was terrifying. She took a deep breath and walked further inside immediately seeing a hole in the wall. Rooney frowned and turned to see a note on the kitchen table. She furrowed her eyebrows and walked over to the table, reading the note.

My dearest love.

My mother and I has gone to Boston to get Ed out of prison. He doesn't deserve his punishment and Annalise has taken his case.

I wanted to say goodbye, but we were in a hurry and I destroyed my phone after our fight. I know we need to talk and I understand that was your intention when you'd found this note. I hope both you and our lovely son is healing and growing. I love you both so much, it pains me to be so far away from you.

If you need me, call me on the number in the corner, it's my mothers. I love you. Don't ever forget that my love.

Love, Eve

Rooney stood with tears in her eyes by the time she had read the note and she saw the number on the right low corner. She immediately pulled out her phone and typed the number calling it. After a few rings and a long waiting time, someone finally picked it up and the girl sighed in relief when she heard her mother in law's voice.

"Elisabeth? Please tell me Eve's there", the girl cried into the phone and Elisabeth turned to her daughter in the couch and Eve knew it was Rooney on the phone. She stood from her seat and ran to her mother taking the phone.

"Baby. I'm sorry baby, I miss you too. Not yet, we're still working on it. I know baby, I love you so much"

Elisabeth could see the tears forming in her daughter's eyes and she had never felt so happy in her life. Seeing her daughter loving someone so much as she loves Rooney, made her own heart beat faster in pure joy.

"I will baby, you too. I love you too baby. Bye", Eve ended the call and cried out. Elisabeth stood from her seat and took the phone putting it away before bringing her arms around her daughter, hugging her tight.

"Now you've talked honey. That's good", she said and Eve nodded crying and Elisabeth sighed and held her tight.


5 Years Ago

The group of friends sat in the park, enjoying the sun's shine. Rooney sat alone as Laura sat with some guys talking. Rooney never understood what Laura saw in guys. They were just too wired and... disgusting.

"Hey", a voice suddenly said and Rooney turned to see the girl she had been blushing for sitting down next to her, a smile on her face. "I'm Alex. Alex Walker", she said holding out her hand and Rooney felt herself freeze as she blushed hard before clearing her throat and accepting the hand shaking it.

"Rooney Swan-Mills"

"You're the mayor and sheriff's daughter", Alex said with a raised eyebrow and smirk and Rooney blushed hard at the smirk directed to her.

"Hehe, yeah", she let out nervously and the girl smiled nodding.

"It's okay. I like your moms. They're cool", she said and Rooney smiled at her.

"Thanks. I think they're quite cool as well"

"I hope we can become good friends", she said chuckling and Rooney smiled nodding.

"Me too"


Present Time

Rooney walked back home from Eve's house, her thoughts so deep she didn't notice the body behind her.

"Rooney?"

The girl turned and met Alex's figure, the girl walking closer to her. "Alex"

"How are you feeling? Are you okay?", Alex asked and Rooney sighed shaking her head. Alex sighed and brought her arms around the girl.

"Your son is lovely. Miss Rothlo is a lucky woman", she said and Rooney sighed letting herself being comforted in her ex's arms.

"Thank you"

Alex smiled and they stood hugging for a few seconds before pulling back and Alex looked into Rooney's eyes, seeing the girl she had fallen in love with four years ago. Rooney smiled at the girl, seeing the familiar eyes as well, but before she could register, Alex's lips were on her own.
