CH 90 - 1st Love
*** Emily's narrative (voice-over) ***
The 1st time you fall in love, it changes you forever. The 1st person you kiss... the 1st person that takes your breath away... the person you will always compare everyone to. The person you will never truly get over, and, thankfully, in my case, I don't need to, because my 1st love is always there... with me...
Emily rolls over the bed, she happily graps her arms around a sleeping blonde, and, says. - "Good morning..."
Alison rambles under her sleep. - "Uhmmmmm..."
Emily hugs her tight, and, softly traces sweet kisses over the exposed naked skin of the blonde when she says. - "Ali, wake up..."
Alison pouts. - "I don't wanna..."
Emily chuckles. - "Ali, c'mon. It's Sunday, and..."
Alison cuts her off with the eyes closed, still refusing to open them. - "Exactly, it's Sunday! So, let me sleep..."
Emily licks Alison's ear, and, whispers with a sexy voice. - "Do you really wanna sleep...?"
The blonde immediately opens her eyes. Feeling Emily's naked body, pressed against her back, it woke up something inside the blonde...
Alison rolls over, she rolls herself on top of the brunette, and, says with a big smirk. - "You're right, sleeping is overrated..."
Emily chuckles, and then, their lips crash in a very intense kiss. How is possible to kiss someone everyday, and, feel it like if it was the 1st time? How is possible that making love to someone you love, it never gets old neither boring?
Emily moans. - "Ali..."
Alison sucks Emily's neck while her fingers pump the brunette without mercy till...
Emily moans. - "Ali!"
The brunette cums under the hands of the blonde, and, Alison softly kisses Emily's neck while the brunette comes down from her climax. Emily glows, her skin glows, and, her eyes... oh, her eyes glow with so much happiness when they meet two blue eyes...
Alison smiles. - "Happy anniversary, mermaid..."
The brunette giggles, she blushes, she's once again the shy girl that fell in love with the QB. Just Alison has that power over her, to make her back to be a teenager in love, with just one smile... with just one look...
Alison. - "Can you believe that it's already our 10th anniversary?"
Emily. - "I know, time flies..."
Alison nods
Emily. - "Most of the parents of my students, they don't even make it to the 2nd year of marriage..."
Alison. - "Truth... lots of people can't stand to stay together forever..."
Emily asks with a little of fear on her voice. - "But, we can, right? Stay together... forever?"
Alison teases. - "Oh, Em. To be honest, I'm planning to change you for a new model in 5 years..."
Emily squeezes her eyes, and, softly hits Alison's arm, when she says. - "Liar..."
Alison laughs, she pecks Emily's lips when she says. - "Of course I'm lying, Em..."
Emily smiles, for a brief moment, she got scared, but, those fears didn't last too long because after all...
Alison. - "I've eyes just for you..." (She buries her face against Emily's neck, taking a deep breath of the aroma of the brunette, when she says) "I want you... just you..."
Emily smiles, she happily hums when she says. - "Me too..." (She hugs Alison's neck, and, mumbles) "Me too..."
*** Narrative (voice-over) ***
Alison. - "The magic of the 1st love, it only happens once. And, if you're lucky enough, it's beyond perfect... it's beyond forever... it's..."
Oliver. - "It's a passion you never knew you could feel, it's a feeling that makes you unique... makes you feel complete... and, that's why my 1st love will always be..."
Little Wayne. - "Ollie! Stop playing the piano, you're gonna wake them up. Come to the kitchen, and, help us to make breakfast for them..."
Little Oliver is helpless in love with the dear instrument, with the sweet melodies that come from it. Each note, each sound, it triggers something deeply into his soul. He's too shy to speak out what he thinks, what he feels. But, with the piano, he's able to express so many things... to feel so many things...
Wayne. - "Ollie!"
But that will be for later...
Oliver closes the piano and, says. - "Fine..."
Wayne smiles, he hugs his dear brother from the shoulders, dragging him into the kitchen with the rest of the kids were trying to make breakfast while their dear moms were supposed slept... even if they weren't, because the couple is having the best time of their lives in bed, while, downstairs...
(Inside the kitchen)
Oliver & Wayne, both brothers walk together towards the kitchen just in time to see how Enzo hesitates to flip up a pancake just like in the movies...
Alice. - "Do it, Enzo! Do it!"
Elizabeth smirks. - "He can't do it..."
Enzo looks at the blonde who's looking at him with a challenging look, and, says. - "Of course, I can do it, just watch!"
Wayne. - "Enzo, no! Wait!"
It's the 1st time that Enzo tries to do it. He has seen Alison doing it, like a piece of cake, so easily, that the little boy believes that he can do it too, but, when he shoves the pancake up, it gets there... up...
Enzo looks at the ceiling, and, frowns. - "Huh?!"
The rest of the siblings looks up too. They stare at the pancake that got glued to the ceiling of the kitchen and...
Elizabeth laughs. - "He can't do it! He can't do it!"
Enzo. - "Shut up!"
Alice giggles. - "Again Enzo! Again!"
Wayne looks at his little sister, Alice, and, says. - "No, Alice. We don't need more pancakes in the ceiling..."
Oliver says with concern. - "Mamma will not like this..."
Wayne looks at his siblings, and, like the leader of the squad Fields-DiLaurentis, he poses like a hero, with his hands on his hips, when he says. - "I will fix this..."
The little kid of 8 years old, he gets the great idea of using the broom to reach the pancake, and, put it down...
Wayne rises the broom, and, says. - "It's heavy..." (sighs) 'I can't see where is the pancake..."
Enzo. - "You're close, move it to the right..."
Wayne waves the broom to the right...
Oliver. - "No, to the left..."
Wayne waves it to the left...
Enzo. - "No! To the right!"
Wayne sighs. - "Can you decide already, on one direction?! I can't hold it for too long!"
The twins watch their big brothers, and, the girls just giggle, amused by what they see. It's funny to see them like this, but, it could be funnier...
Elizabeth whispers to her twin. - "I got an idea..."
Little Alice gulps hard. She loves her twin, but, every time that Elizabeth gets an idea, it's not good...
Alice sees her twin grabbing the syrup for pancakes, and, says. - "No, Liz!"
A little mischief, with no harm, that's what little Elizabeth thought about her actions when she spilled the syrup all over the floor, so Wayne would slip. Because it's funny to see someone slip, right? But, it's not funny at all to see little Wayne, losing balance, and, starts to wave the broom in all directions in a dangerous way...
The mischief wasn't funny, especially when Wayne hit Oliver's head with the broom by accident...
Enzo says with concern. - "Ollie!"
Little Oliver falls to the ground...
Enzo looks at Elizabeth, and, says. - "Look at what did you do?!"
Alice cries. - "Ollie..."
Elizabeth gulps. - "Ooops..."
Wayne sees his dear brother on the floor with the eyes closed, and, he loudly screams. - "MOMS!"
(In the bedroom)
Alison & Emily stop fooling around, they get their head out of the sheet, and, say at the unison. - "The kids!"
*** Elizabeth's narrative (voice-over) ***
There's always consequences to our actions... even if we don't want to accept them, nothing absolves us from the fallout that our choices will trigger. 'Before you act, be sure you're prepared for the consequences', that's what mamma always says... but, I never listen... I never listen...
Elizabeth burst into tears when Alison raises her hand over her, very angrily...
Emily steps in, between Alison and the little blonde when she says. - "Ali, don't!"
Alison angrily snaps. - "Emily! You cannot give her a free pass, AGAIN!"
The brunette stares at the crying blonde who's gripping hard on her leg. Emily's heart is too soft to reprimand this crying little blonde...
Emily pleads. - "Ali, please, for me, just..."
Alison angrily says. - "Just what? Just let it go?!" (She points out at the little blonde, and, says while she stares at her wife in the eyes, and, says) "If we don't put a stop to her behavior now, she'll be worse than me, Em..."
Emily. - "She's not gonna be like that, Ali..."
Alison. - "Please, she has my DNA..." (She angrily mumbles) "And you, to protect her from any punishment..."
Emily. - "You were gonna hit her! We don't hit our kids, Ali!"
Alison sighs. - "I know..." (She takes deep breaths, and, says) "I know..."
Emily points out towards the crying blonde, and, says) "Look at her, she's sorry for what she did..."
Alison walks towards her little boy, she softly caresses Oliver's head, and, says. - "Ollie... how do you feel...?"
Oliver has opened his eyes already, he sobs. - "Mamma... it hurts..."
Alison can feel how she's under the point to lose it again, especially when she sees the little bump on his head...
Wayne sadly sobs. - "I'm sorry, I'm so, sorry..."
He blames himself, he feels so bad for hurting Oliver, even if he didn't plan to hurt it, he feels so bad about it, that Alison says...
Alison. - "It was an accident Wayne, it's not your fault..."
Emily. - "Exactly, it was an accident. So, you understand why I condemn the way you were scolding our little Betty, right?"
Elizabeth stops weeping crocodile tears, if Emily is calling her Betty, the favorite nickname of the brunette for her, then, she's out of the hook, but...
Alison. - "Oh, I understand, Emily. I understand that with kids, accidents can happen. I understand that things can go out of control, that they might be too young to understand the consequences of their actions. But, understanding and condoning are two entirely separate concepts..."
Emily. - "She didn't do it on purpose, Ali. She..."
Alison. - "She will never understand the gravity of her actions if you keep condoning everything she does!"
Emily rolls her eyes
Alison. - "Tell me something, Emily. What will be our excuse, if somewhere down the line, she does something she can't undo? What will happen if she grows up, believing she will always get away with it?! Huh?! Do I need to remind you what brought me that kind of attitude? Just pain, Emily... to me, and, all of us..."
Emily. - "-A is gone, Ali. AD is gone, our kids are safe..."
Alison cuts her off. - "Just because our demons are 6 feet underground, Emily; that doesn't mean that our kids cannot create their own demons..."
Emily. - "Ali. Please, do not make a federal case out of this..."
Alison. - "Emily! It's our responsibility to impart them the knowledge to distinguish between right and wrong..."
Emily. - "And, we're doing it! One action doesn't define their lives, Ali! You can't believe that our little Betty will become a bad girl, just because of this little mischief that went a little too far..."
Alison. - "A little too far?! Look, at your son, Emily! Ollie got hurt!"
Emily gulps hard when she stares at the little Oliver, who keeps sobbing, and, rubbing the little bump he got...
Alison. - "It's obvious that we're on opposite sides here, so, this conversation is over... for now..."
Emily rolls her eyes, and, Alison is done on discussing with her wife on how they should discipline their daughter, so, she decides to focus on her little...
Alison softly caresses Oliver's head, and, says. - "Ollie, let's get you checked by Aunty Blair, okay...?"
The boy nods while he keeps sobbing. The blonde grabs the kid between her arms, and says, when she grabs her keys...
Alison. - "I'll call you if something comes up..."
Emily nods, and, she stays with the rest of their kids, cleaning the mess...
Elizabeth stretches her little arms and, says. - "Mommy..."
Emily holds her in her arms, and, says. - "Don't worry..." (She looks at the rest of the kids, and, says to all of them) "Don't worry, it's gonna be okay..." (She deeply exhales, and, says) "It's gonna be okay..."
(At the hospital)
Alison. - "You didn't need to come by..."
Spencer. - "You're really upset. You can't drive like that, and, I wanted to come too..."
Alison raises an eyebrow, and, says. - "Why?"
Spencer. - "I just want to see Blair..."
Alison frowns. - "You see her every day..."
Spencer shrugs. - "And, what? I can't visit her at work without having a secret agenda?"
Alison hums. - "Hmmm..."
The blonde hums, she doesn't buy it, and, Spencer knows it...
Spencer. - "Fine, there are new nurses in the hospital, young nurses! And, I just need to..."
Alison nods. - "To mark your territory, got it..."
Spencer gasps in desbelief of what Alison is saying, but, she will gasps even more in desbelief when she sees her dear wife, surrounded by nurses...
Alison smirks. - "Damn, she's really popular around here..."
Spencer angrily mumbles. - "Popular, my ass!"
Like an angry bull, Spencer was rushing towards Blair & the nurses, but, her anger vanishes when she sees that...
Blair happily shows a picture, and, says. - "This is little Veronica, my V-bear, wearing her 1st tutu..." (She shows another picture, and, says) "And, this is Robin looking at a book, she can't read yet, but, she loves to look at them..." (She says really excited) "Aren't they the cutest little angels in the world?!"
The nurses roll their eyes, it has been hours since Blair started to gush around about her perfect family. The dear doctor is so proud of her little girls, and,...
Blair shows another picture and, says. - "And, this is my wife. Isn't she super hot?!"
A nurse dears to say. - "Yes, she's super hot..."
Spencer blushes, and, Blair gets over protective...
Blair. - "Hey! Just me can say that about my wife! She's MINE..."
Spencer raises an eyebrow, and, says with the arms crossed. - "Excuse me, 'mine'? I'm not a personal belongings..."
Blair jumps surprised, like if she was getting busted doing something bad.
Alison says to the rest of the staff. - "I think this is your clue to leave..."
And, as soon as she said it. Everyone was gone...
Blair nervously chuckles. - "Spence... w-what are you doing here?"
Spencer gets Blair's phone, and, says while she looks into it. - ""When did you take so many pictures of them?" (She says with surprise in her voice) "Of ME?!"
Blair bites her lips, she doesn't want to admit how she got all those pictures, but...
Alison. - "At times, She'd be belly down on the floor. On other times, She'd be hidden behind a tree and aim for an acrobatic angle just to get a good pic..." (little laugh) "She's the bigger stalker of your kids, and, yourself... how is that you haven't noticed it?"
Blair pouts. - "I'm not a stalker!" (She mumbles) "I'm just keeping an eye on them..."
Spencer. - "It's creepy..."
Blair. - "It's not creepy!"
Spencer returns the phone, and, commands. - "It's creepy, and, you are gonna stop doing it..."
Blair sadly pouts. - "But, I don't wanna..."
Spencer. - "What?!"
The doctor looks at her with dog-eyes, like a sad puppy that was kicked. So, in the end...
Spencer rolls her eyes, and, says. - "Fine, do, whatever you want. Just keep those pictures to yourself, okay?"
Blair smiles happily, she even kisses Spencer's hand, feeling grateful for having the dear brunette in her life. And, how couldn't she feel grateful? If, after all, Spencer is...
Blair. - "You're my 1st love. Spence. I can't help it, I need to have tons of pics of you, so I can see you every second of my day..."
Spencer blushes, and, Alison rolls her eyes. Spencer realizes that she has no need to mark her territory, this doctor is helpless in love with her...
Oliver sobs. - "Aunty B..." (He softly pats his head) "It hurts..."
Blair grabs the little boy into her arms, and, says. - "Hey buddy, what is wrong...?"
Alison tells her why they are here. Blair knows that Oliver is okay, but, she also knows that Alison will not have peace of mind till a billion of tests are done to her little boy. So...
Blair. - "Let's check you out..."
Spencer waits for them in the waiting room. And after a lot of unnecessary tests, Blair was finally able to put Alison's mind at ease. Or, at least that's what the doctor wanted to believe, but...
Blair. - "Oliver is okay..."
Alison sighs, reflective. - "Yeah..."
Blair. - "You're not happy about it?"
Alison. - "Of course I'm happy!" (She softly caresses Oliver's head, and, smiles when the little kid smiles at her too) "He's my little angel..."
Blair stares at her friend, and, asks. - "What else is in your mind, then? Because you look worried..."
Alison deeply exhales, sharing her fears, sharing her insecurities, it has never been easy...
Blair. - "Ali... talk to me...?"
Alison. - "I... I wonder if I'm a good mother..."
Blair. - "What?"
Alison. - "Elizabeth is just like me: spoiled, with a talent to put others on troubles... I see myself in her..."
Blair. - "And, you fear she will make the same mistakes that you did when you were younger?"
Alison nods, she doesn't want her kids to suffer the same troublesome life she had...
Blair. pats Alison's back, and, says. - "I think that you're a good mom..."
Alison. - "You can't say that... I can't even control a little blonde of 5 years old..."
Blair. - "Maybe not. But, I believe that the most important education that we can give to our kids, it's the education of the heart..." (She points out to the heart of Alison, and, says) "And, I believe that you have covered it, very well..."
Alison deeply sighs, and, looking at the clock the doctor says...
Blair. - "You should be going, you don't want to be late to your own anniversary's party..." (She signs some forms, and, says) "I'll pass by after my shift ends. Okay?"
Alison nods. - "Yeah..." (She grabs Oliver between her arms, and, says) "Let's go Ollie..."
The kid happily curls under the warm embrace of her dear mother. Spencer drives them back home, and, during the drive they talk...
Spencer. - "Everything is gonna be okay, Ali..."
Alison. - "I'm afraid it will not. My kid is gonna be a Queen Bee 2.0..."
Spencer laughs...
Alison. - "It's not funny, Spence!" (She passes a hand through her hair, and, says) "She's gonna be worse than me... I can feel it..."
Spencer. - "Well, maybe. But, you turned to end just fine..."
Alison. - "That's because I had you, guys. And, because I fell in love with someone like Em..." (She smiles thinking on her wife, and, says) "And, she brought the best on me... she always does that..."
Spencer. - "And, your kid has our kids too, she will be just fine... Her best friend is my Veronica. She's more persuasive than me. She will not let her become an evil QB like you were in high school, I'm sure about that..."
Alison mumbles. - "Hmm... I fell in love with my best friend, I wonder if she..."
Spencer. - "What did you say?"
Alison looks away, and, says. - "Nothing..."
The blonde wonders if her trouble maker daugther will also follow her steps in terms of choosing the 1st love, and, she's not the only one... we wonder too, right?
*** Elizabeth's narrative (voice-over) ***
My moms always told me that the 1st time you fall in love, it changes you forever and no matter how hard you try, that feeling just never goes away. But, it takes a lot to accept that, to understand why we love... and, whom we love & why...
(At the DiLaurentis Fields backyard)
Sitting under a tree, looking up, at the starry sky. A little blonde squeezes her eyes closed when a shooting star appears, just to wish...
Elizabeth. - "Please, let Ollie be okay..."
The little blonde opens her eyes again when someone says...
Veronica. - "He's gonna be okay..."
Elizabeth. - "You don't know that..." (She hugs her legs, and, says) "You don't know that..."
Veronica hugs her, and, says. - "But, I know you didn't mean to hurt him, Betty..." (She hugs her tight, and, says) "So, don't look sad..."
The blonde smiles, just 2 people in this world call her 'Betty'. And, both of them, they have a big part of her heart...
Veronica breaks the hug, and, says. - "You feel better, Betty...?"
The little blonde nods, and, little Veronica smiles, her smile is so bright, so tender, that little Betty does something that no one was expecting. She leans forwards, and...
Veronica blushes. - "You kissed me?! My lips?! Just like our mommies do it! Why?"
Elizabeth. - "Practice..."
Veronica blushes. - "Huh...?"
Elizabeth stands up, and, says. - "I've to go..."
Veronica sees her best friend running away, and, says. - "Wait, Betty!"
The little brunette tries to run after the little blonde, but, she's not so fast. With a wrong step, she almost falls, and, she screams the name of the blonde...
Veronica screams. - "Betty!"
The little blonde stops running away, she turns around, she doesn't want to see her dear Veronica, getting hurt too, because of her. And, she doesn't, because someone is there to catch her... someone will always be there to catch her...
Little Wayne holds little Veronica in his arms, and, says. - "I caught you..."
Veronica blushes. - "Thank you..."
Wayne smiles. - "Your dress is pretty... you look pretty..."
Veronica blushes. - "Oh... thank you..."
Wayne smiles, looking at the pretty little girl he has in his arms. He stares at her, and, his eyes glow, his heart beats fast... It's love, Elizabeth knows it, because she feels the same... for the same girl...
Elizabeth angrily yells. - "I hate you!"
Wayne & Veronica looks at her, and frowns. - "What? Why?"
Elizabeth angrily pouts, she shows them her tongue, and, walks away...
*** Elizabeth's narrative ***
Love, fear, jealousy... we can't control our emotions, I can't control my emotions. It takes a lot to accept, to understand our actions. It takes even more time to understand our hearts. And, I don't want to understand love, I don't want love to control me, to change me. So, I shut it off, I push my feelings away, I put into this mask where I'm the perfect girl, the one that everyone wants, and, every ones wants to be... yes... the perfect girl who fits in the perfect picture...
(Years later, at Rosewood high school)
A photographer says. - "Smile. This is the photo that you'll see in the yearbook..."
(sounds of flash)
The photographer looks at the picture, and, says. - "It's perfect..."
Elizabeth DiLaurentis. - "Of course, it's perfect..." (with a big smirk, she says) 'I'm perfect..."
CH 91 - The perfect picture
