Mommy play with open cards
Since both Lily and Grace recently turned 16, Emily and Alison has decided to tell their daughters everything.
From when Alison and Emily first met as kids to when Grace and Lily were born as well as anything and everything in between.
Alison and Emily feel that thier daughters have become mature enough for the full true story.
It's a sweet Saturday night in the Fields-DiLaurentis house.
"Girls, I know we've held back on tellin' ya this, but tonight you'll get to hear the actual story of how your mothers met each other all those long years ago." says Alison. "Em, babe, would ya like to do the opening-part of this story?"
"With honor and joy, Ali. Okay...here we go. Back when I was a mere 7 years old I was extremely shy and insecure. Suddenly one day I was in the toy-section at good old Rosewood Mall, looking for My Little Pony stuff when I saw this blonde girl over by the Barbie-doll shelf. The girl was Alison, but at the time I had no idea who she was. Perhaps I'd seen her from a distance in school and such a few random times, who knows? I didn't know even her name. Not sure what, but something about her seemed interesting so I walked over to her. Shy as I was, I didn't really wanna say hi or that sort of thing. Though I did still walk up to her."
"Lost in my own thoughts I didn't hear Em say hi to me. She cleared her throat and said hi a second time. At this I turned my head and smiled towards her. I then introduced myself. Back in those days I often called myself Ali D, thinking that sounded cool." says Alison.
Very clearly Grace and Lily like to finally hear their mommies' story.
"Just being a kid at the moment, I was so nervous. Did I wanna talk to Alison? Yes. The fact that I had a serious lack of confidence is what made it so hard to interact with other kids. Usually I was the kid who spent time alone or with Hanna, who was my only buddy before I found Ali." says Emily.
"Having a rather solid level of confidence even at that age, I decided to break the ice and started to talk to Em. This allowed her to relax and open up. We quickly became good friends." says Alison.
"Did you guys fall in love that day?" says Grace.
"Love? Oh, no! That happened much later on. We were just friends for a pretty long time before any signs of even tiny romantic attraction ever rose to the surface." says Emily.
"Okay." says Grace.
"Mama Ali, were you bitchy then or still sweet?" says Lily.
"I was very sweet. That day I was 7, just like Emily. My bitchiness didn't happen until shorly before I turned 12." says Alison.
"Anyways, on the day in question, eventually I purchased a My Little Pony plushie and Ali got herself a Barbie. We left the mall together, both of us happy and cute. It was such a wonderful sweet day." says Emily.
"Yeah, it truly was." says Alison.
"Since then, Ali and I have been very close." says Emily.
"There's been several major road-bumps though. And when I say that, it's probably a serious understatement. The first time Em truly attempted to hit on me, seduce me or whatever term fits best, I was unfortunately dumb enough to reject her. Not only did I reject her love, but I did it in the worst possible way. It broke her heart." says Alison.
"Mama, why did ya break mommy's heart...? She was your best buddy." says Grace.
"Because I was stuck too damn deep in my own personal bitch-realm and also belived myself to be 100 % straight." says Alison.
"Don't you support LGBT stuff...?" says Grace.
"I do now. Not back when Em and I were 16." says Alison.
"If what Ali refer to is the 'incident' in the locker-room, I'd like to tell you girls what happened, the way I remember." says Emily.
"Go ahead, babe. It would be best if you told 'em this part." says Alison.
"Alright, here we go...let me think. It was a spring day in the locker-room by the gym at school. None other than me and Ali were there at the time. I was already fullu dressed. Ali was not. While she dried off after shower and such, we simply talk like teen women do. The conversation included stuff about Paris, a place we both had a desire to visit someday. Being in love with her I of course helped when Ali asked me to hook her bra for her. I got...uh...turned on and attempted to do stuff with her. It nearly scarred me shitless when she then snapped at me and rejected me, claiming she was so straight and would only kiss me for 'practice' as she called it. We had kissed once before, during a small private talk in the library and she seemed to enjoy that so I was surprised when she rejected me. That wasn't the reaction my young self had expected." says Emily.
"Is this true?" says Lily, looking at Alison.
"Yes, sweetie. Em is telling you what happened. I did reject her in a rude way, as she just said. I was too much of a bitch to understand that Em was truly in love with me." says Alison.
"Girls, your blonde mama here was my first gay love ever." says Emily as she place her left hand on Alison's right knee.
"Later...much later...I learned that Emily had a crush on me since we first met, even though neither of us knew that when we met for the very first time." says Alison.
"Yes. As 7 year old girls we didn't even know what lesbianism is." says Emily.
"True, babe. At age 14 my life was one heck of a ride, in good and bad ways. I was all bitch back then. With my manipulative mind and sexual aura as well as other things too, I ruled over Em, Han, Aria and Spencer as the bad girl Queen Bee here in town." says Alison.
"She did. One night we all had the so-called 'infamous' sleepover in the Hastings-barn and during the night when I, Aria, Hanna and Spencer were all cutely asleep, Ali snuck off to hook up with a guy named Ian who was supposed to be the boyfriend of Melissa, Spencer's older sister. After that night, Ali went missing. I thought she was gone forever. We later on discovered she was alive, having faked her own death. One night she was there, in front of us once more. How surprised we got." says Emily.
"I was surprised too at how much Em and the girls had changed during the time I'd been away." says Alison.
"Changed...?" says Grace and Lily.
"Each of them had matured, grown up into awesome beautiful women. They were no longer the girls I used to rule over and manipulate for my own personal goals. All of 'em had become so much more powerful. Part of me was proud to see me little liars like that, but they had also become a threat to my glory." says Alison.
"My dear Ali was back, but it wasn't all roses and joy. She fell back into her bitchy ways." says Emily.
"Unfortunately I did. I guess being a bitch had become a habit so I had a hard time being sweet. I still needed to mature more and be an adult." says Alison.
"Lucky for us all, eventually Ali managed to do just that. She then turned sweet once more. She and I started dating and fell in love for real. Not too long after, you girls were born." says Emily.
"We wanna know..." says Lily.
"...more about all the twists and turns before that." says Grace.
"Okay." says Alison.
"Ali, you should tell them this part." says Emily.
"Sure. After my return to public life, no longer pretending to be dead like shit, I at first wasn't very nice at all. More or less I was still as bitchy as I had been before I went into hiding. I was rude and egocentric. care only for me, no one else." says Alison.
"Not even for Mommy Em?" says Lily.
"Exactly. Not even her." says Alison.
"Kinda sad. You are her love." says Lily.
"I know, but back then my ego made me blind to that fact, Lily." says Alison.
"Can too much ego do that...?" says Lily.
"Yes." says Alison.
"Rewind a bit to...to the library-kissing. We wanna hear that, don't we, G...?" says Lily.
"Oh yeah. L is right. Tell us." says Grace.
"Who should tell this part?" says Emily.
"Ya can do so, babe." says Alison.
"Thanks, babe. It was a sweet calm day when Ali wasn't a bitchy egocentric girl. She and I were 15 or 16 at the time. We sat there in the library, talking about some book we'd read. My feelings took over and I ended up kissing her. Sweet and wonderful it was, at least for me. Ali seemed to enjoy it as well though. She responded to the kiss and smiled, which I took as a sign that she though it was nice." says Emily.
"Cute that mama was sweet that day." says Lily.
"Yeah, very cute, indeed." says Emily.
"I was feelin' like being sweet Ali that particular day." says Alison.
"Now you're always sweet." says Lily.
"Yes. I've left my bitchy self behind." says Alison.
"That's good, me and G think. I'm sure mommy Em think so too." says Lily.
"I do think so, girls." says Emily with a cute casual smile.
Alison gives Emily a sweet romantic kiss.
Emily giggle, being happy.
"Soooo cute!" says both Lily and Grace.
"Yup." says Alison as she lean back on the couch and put up her feet on the table.
"Mommy Em, was Mama Ali the first lady you made love to?" says Grace.
"No, she was not. That was a girl named Maya." says Emily.
"When did that happen?" says Grace.
"It was during the first year of Ali's absence." says Emily.
"Uh...was it...uh...cozy?" says Lily as she blush a bit.
"Yes, Lily. It was good. I did enjoy it." says Emily.
"But your first time with Mama Ali was better, right?" says Grace.
"Yes, Grace. That's correct." says Emily.
"Mama Ali, did you also enjoy first time with Mommy Em?" says Grace.
"I very much did. Em's wonderful and so gentle and sweet." says Alison.
"Thanks, Ali." says Emily and then gives Alison a soft kiss.
"You're welcome, my hot mermaid." says Alison.
"Wow, you've not called me that in a hwile." says Emily.
"Sorry." says Alison.
"Not a problem, my amazing blonde." says Emily.
"Continue the story, please." says Grace.
"Alright. Em had quite the number of different girlfriends during my time away from Rosewood. Most prominently Paige." says Alison.
"Oh...Auntie Paige from Houston?" says Grace.
"Yeah. She and Em dated for a significant amount of time. They had great chemistry as a couple. Had I never returned they could've been a thing." says Alison.
"Mommy Em, what other chicks did ya date?" says Grace.
"Let me think back. There was Samara, as well as Sara and Sabrina...oh...and Talia." says Emily.
"Cool." says Grace.
"Mama Ali, what people have you dated...?" says Lily.
"Uh...Ian...Ezra, also Cyrus and Lorenzo and some others I'd prefer to not talk about." says Alison.
"Ezra...as in Uncle Ezra, Auntie Aria's husband...?" says Lily.
"Him, yes. Before he ever met Aria, but it only lasted a kinda short time between him and me. Aria and Ezra are meant for each other so it's fine and I love my Em here." says Alison.
"It's awesome that you love each other." says Grace and Lily.
"Thanks, sweeties." says Alison.
"You're welcome, mom." says Lily.
"Mommy Em, how did you and Auntie Paige become a couple?" says Grace.
"Paige and I didn't start out on friendly terms. She was my rival for swim-team captain. Even so she'd also held a crush on me since before Ali went missing. At the time I wasn't aware of this, but it is true. Ali had known and bullied Paige for having a thing for me." says Emily.
"Mama Ali, why were you a bully?" says Lily.
"More than one reason. I didn't grow up in a calm sweet home and this is one of the things that turned me into a teen-bitch. Paige wasn't the only one who unfortunately suffered because of me. I was also a bully to a guy named Lucas and also to Hanna." says Alison.
"Hanna? Auntie Han?" says Lily.
"The one and only. Back then she was chubby and I would bully her for that." says Alison.
"Mama, Hanna was one of your buddies, you've taught Grace and me to be sweet like candy to all our friends." says Lily.
"Yes, girl. Though back then I didn't know that clearly. I believed in friendship by power, which was a very misguided view of the world." says Alison.
"When did you learn to be sweet?" says Grace.
"Shortly before Em and I started dating for real. Em helped me to see the light in life again as I had once done as a kid, before I became a bitch." says Alison.
"Cool that mommy helped you to become a good girl." says Lily.
"Yup. I'll be forever glad she did." says Alison.
"She's my one true love so it was the least I could do. Ali means so much to me. I'd do nearly anything for her, within reason, of course." says Emily.
"Thanks, babe!" says a happy Alison.
"No problem." says Emily, being happy as well.
Lily and Grace are happy too.
"Please tell us more." says Grace.
"We will, sweetie. Later. Now it's time for dinner." says Alison.
"Indeed it is." says Emily as she leave the room.
Only a few minutes later she return with 4 pizza-boxes.
"Pizza, awesome!" says Lily and Grace, who both share Emily's love for pizza.
"Indeed, girls. Pizza is wonderful." says Emily.
Emily still love pizza as much as she did as a kid.
Almost an hour later.
"Okay. Now we'll continue the story." says Alison.
"Even though Paige and I were rivals at first, we eventually became friends. She later came out as gay to me and we eventually started dating. This was during the time Alison was in hiding and pretended to be dead." says Emily.
"When I came back I got so dang pissed off when I discovered that Paige and Em were a couple. Paige...or Pigskin, as I called her during my evil days...and Em? I couldn't believe it. I hated it so much." says Alison.
"She sure did, but later Ali and Paige forgave each other, put the past behind them and became friends as they still are today." says Emily.
"Yup. I'm glad some of my former victims such as Paige, Lucas, Mona and Hanna hold no hate for me got being a damn bully to them back in the days." says Alison.
"Ali, you've become a very sweet woman so they've no reason to still hold a grudge and stuff like that." says Emily.
"Mama, what did you do to the guy called Lucas?" says Grace.
"I did something nobody should ever do to another person. I called him a loser, perv and a hermie. And also I treated him as less than a human." says Alison.
"Why?" says Lily.
"Back then my mind was twisted like crap and I thought it was fun to be rude to other kids." says Alison.
"Oh...good you're very sweet now." says Lily.
"Yeah, girl." says Alison.
"Upon her return...or shorly after it, Ali attempted to ruin my relationship with Paige, still believing at the time that Paige wasn't good enough for me. I also found out later that Ali had feelings for me just as I did for her, which was another reason she couldn't stand me and Paige being together." says Emily.
"Mom, what happened then?" says Grace.
"Many things. Ali caused me and Paige to feel uncomfortable as girlfriends. When it became time to apply for college, Paige and I at first had plans to go to Stanford together, but stuff got screwed up and eventually we decided to end our romantic relationship and just be friends for I guess a greater good and everyone's safety. Paige moved to Houston and became a student at Rice where she met Granada." says Emily.
"Auntie Granada is so cool." says Grace.
"Paige and I were able to stay good close friends. Honestly now, looking back at the past, Paige fit much better with Granada than she did with me. Sure, I did have several things in common with Paige, but it was because of Granada, not me, that Paige became the woman you girls know as your aunt." says Emily.
"So cute that you and Paige are still friends, mom." says Lily.
"Yeah, Lily. Paige and I broke up on friendly positive terms." says Emily.
"Mama, how did ya react when mommy and auntie broke up?" says Grace.
"I was so happy, even if I didn't show in public how excited I was." says Alison.
"Why didn't you let your buddies see you be happy?" says Lily.
"Because I wanted to be hardcore and not show cute joy to everyone." says Alison.
"So you weren't a good girl again yet, mama?" says Lily.
"Not yet, but I had gotten a bit closer to that, sweetie." says Alison.
"Good. It sounds like being sweet wasn't very easy for you back then." says Lily.
"You're correct. I'd been a bitchy chick for so long that it had turned into a habit that's comfortable, comfortable like...kinda like those old baggy sweatpants I sometimes wear on my casual days." says Alison.
"I understand...a little. My old black satin jammies are cozy." says Grace.
"Alright. Later thanks to Em I learned how to be sweet without being a different babe than I am. Not long after that, Em and me became a couple." says Alison.
"Soooo cute!" says Lily and Grace.
"Yes." says Alison.
"Tell us about our biological father." says Lily.
"His name was Wren Kingston. It was sperm from him and eggs from Em that was inplanted into em and resulted in you two, sweeties." says Alison.
"Yes." says Emily.
"Can we meet him?" says Grace.
"No. Wren is no longer alive. Spencer's evil twin killed him when he no longer was on her side." says Emily.
"Okay." says Grace.
"He wasn't a good man. For a while he helped Spencer's evil twin Alex to make life a Hell for us." says Alison.
"At least he made one good thing happen. His sperm was part of what created me and my sister." says Grace.
"Yeah. That's the only positive effect of him, for sure." says Alison.
"Back to when you guys first became a true couple." says Grace.
"That was wonderful. I finally had my Alison, the girl I'd been in love with for so long." says Emily.
"Honestly I had been in love with Em for years as well. I was just too much of a bitch to see and admit this." says Alison.
"Mama, it's awesome that you and mommy became a couple." says Grace.
"Thanks, sweetie." says Alison.
"I wanna know about when ya were preggo and carried L and me in your tummy." says Grace.
"To be pregnant wasn't easy, trust me. It often hurt, but it was worth it. Em and I ended up with two wonderful daughters." says Alison.
"Are we wonderful...?" says Grace.
"Yes, of course." says Alison.
"Thanks, mama." says Grace.
"Who decided our names?" says Lily.
"Ali and I did so together." says Emily.
"Okay." says Lily.
"For a short time we considered naming you girls Isabella and Roxanne, but somehow that didn't feel right so we decided on Lily and Grace instead." says Emily.
"Lily and Grace are sweet names." says Lily.
"Grace, are you also okay with the names?" says Emily.
"Yeah, mommy." says Grace.
"That's good." says Emily.
"Any other names you almost gave L and me?" says Grace.
"Cindy and Melanie was one of the options." says Alison.
"Yeah and so was Emma and Nicole." says Emily.
"I could've been a Nicole? Cool. There's a chick named Nicole with us on the swim-team at school. She is nice." says Grace.
"Nicole Bendalah?" says Alison.
"Yup, her." says Grace.
"Nicole's mom Cloe is a friend of mine. We met in college." says Alison.
"Does she swim too?" says Lily.
"No, not at all. She's a dance-instructor." says Alison.
"Cool." says Lily.
Lily and Grace both love hearing everything about Emily and Alison's past.
Now at age 16, Lily and Grace no longer look as similar to each other as they used to.
Both girls have found their own style so now people have a much more easy time telling them apart.
Grace has a style similar to Alison's, while Lily share Emily's style.
Just like Alison does, Grace love fancy clothes.
Lily on the other hand usually dress more casual with a slight tomboy touch, just like Emily.
Even so, for special occasions Lily does dress up.
Also Grace sometimes dress casual too, such as today, for example.
She's in just a tight black t-shirt and baggy blue denim jeans right now.
Lily wear a pink sweater and baggy black sweatpants.
They also have different hair-styles.
Grace has her hair in the same semi-curles as Alison.
Lily prefer to have simple straight hair, just like Emily.
The two girls also has slightly different personality.
Grace is the most confident and open one and Lily is a bit shy and sometimes held back, just a little.
Both girls love pizza and swimming though.
They also both like girlie things.
And both are straight, at least so it seems.
Neither of them has showed any romantic interest in other girls.
Grace has already kissed a few guys, but Lily who's less confident has not had her first kiss yet.
"Mama...uh...was it fun to be bitchy?" says Grace.
"So much fun, at least in the beginning. And by beginning I mean like the first 3 years or so, but later on it only lead to me and people I care about gettin' into trouble. These days as an adult I understand that being bitchy is not the path to walk. I've left my bitchy self behin in the past where it belongs. I'm good now, girl." says Alison.
"Okay. Did your mom know that you were bitchy?" says Grace.
"Yes. And no. Your late grandma knew some thing, but she was also blind to a lot of the stuff I did. She assumed I was mostly a sweet lil' girl." says Alison. "My dad on the other hand. He knew a bit more, but apparently he kept the majority of what he knew to himself, never tellin' mom. I'm unsure why." says Alison.
"It's true. Alison's parents were aware of some bad things she did, but other things they never knew about. Alison was skilled at keeping secrets, making sure that people knew minimum of what sort of girl she truly was at that point in time." says Emily.
"Mommy, if mama was a bitch, what were you like?" says Lily.
"Well, what can I say? I was a slightly tomboy-ish shy kinda insecure closet-lesbo with a love for swimming and pizza." says Emily. "Back then I hadn't found my confident side yet. Yes, perhaps I wasn't as shy as Hanna, but I was only a tiny bit less insecure than her. Hanna was chubby and weak during Ali's early days as a bitch. Only after Ali went missing did Hanna change and become the happy confident person she still is today."
"Hanna left the main group and struck up a friendship with Mona. During my absence, the two of 'em went through a metamorphosis and became hot and popular. When I found out I got so mad. Now I don't care of course." says Alison.
"Aria's dad moved the family to Iceland for a year. During most of that year our group of girls were broken into pieces. Aria were, as I just stated miles away in the cold of Iceland, while Hanna left us for Mona. I was by myself and so were Spencer. And Ali was in hiding from us, faking her own death. Upon the beginning of the next semester, Aria returned with the rest of her family. At school we became a group again, re-building our bonds of friendship, minus Ali who was still away." says Emily.
"From a distance I kept an eye on stuff that went on here in Rosewood, but it seems I knew far from all of it. When I returned I was told of stuff I didn't already know that surprised me so much." says Alison.
"Where were you when you pretended to be dead, mom?" says Lily.
"In several different places. One of them was South Carolina where my former friend Tara Jameson live." says Alison.
"Okay." says Lily.
"Did your parents know where you were?" says Grace.
"They did not. Only a few select people knew that I was even alive." says Alison.
"Mom, did you miss mama a lot when she was in hiding?" says Grace.
"I did...very much." says Emily.
"That makes ense. I'm her first gay love so it's natural that she'd miss me when I was gone, even though I was such a bitch." says Alison.
"Mama, were you aware that she was in love with you?" says Lily.
"Yes. I always knew that Em had feelings for me. To me it was pretty obvious." says Alison.
"I always believed I was subtle, but my babe was able to read me like an open book. She could tell that I had a strong crush on her." says Emily.
"She was probably observant and since you were close friends she had likely learned to see signs of what you felt and such." says Lily.
"Ali has always been pretty sharp and able to notice things that are kind of behind the exteriors." says Emily.
"That I get from my mom and grandma." says Alison.
"Mama, tell us about your short fling with Uncle Ezra." says Grace.
"Are ya sure that's something you'd like to know?" says Alison.
"We promised our daughters the full story and that includes what Grace just asked for." says Emily.
"You're right, my mermaid. I met Ezra this night in a small diner. He was attractive and handsome so that made me interested. At the time I was like 15 or 16, but I pretended to be like at least 18." says Alison.
"Why did you fake your age, Mama Ali...?" says Lily.
"I was sure Ezra wouldn't talk to me if he knew I was underage." says Alison.
"You've taught me and G to never fake our age." says Lily.
"Yes 'cause I know better now than to do forbidden stuff like that." says Alison.
"My wonderful wife has matured and I've done so as well." says Emily.
"Em, you've grown from a shy teen-chick to a wonderful adult lady." says Alison.
"Awww! Thanks, babe." says a happy Emily.
"Mama Ali, continue, please." says Grace.
"Okay, sweetie. I walked up to Ezra and introduced myself in a seductive way, which was so damn typical of me at the time." says Alison.
"Seductive?" says Lily, wo really doesn't know what that word means.
"Yes. It means to be sexual." says Alison.
Lily nod.
"Ezra and I talked for a while. He seemed to like me." says Alison.
"What happened next, mama?" says Grace.
"He got attracted to me. We dated for a while. I wanted to do it with him and eventually he agreed. Afterwards I got afraid he made me preggo, but lucky for me it wasn't like that. Not long later we broke up." says Alison.
"Mama, why have you been with both girls and guys?" says Grace.
"Because I am bisexual, sweetie. Do ya know what that means?" says Alison.
"Yeah. I thought you were pure gay like Mommy Em." says Grace.
"I love Em, but I'm still bisexual." says Alison.
"Okay." says Grace.
"Yeah." says Alison.
"Was your very first a girl or a guy?" says Grace.
"It was a guy. Back then I assumed I was straight. Only years later did I discover that I'm actually bisexual. At first this surprised me, but now I've learned to be very fine with it." says Alison.
"Mommy Em, you're pure gay-lady, right...?" says Lily.
"Yes, girl. I'm 100 % lesbian." says Emily.
"Okay, mom." says Lily.
"Mama, why di you and Uncle Ezra break up?" says Grace.
"He found out that I was fakin' my age." says Alison.
"Oh..." says Grace.
"Yeah. Somehow he discovered that I'd been makin' stuff up to attract him." says Alison.
"I think it's good that you and him broke up so you could eventually marry mommy instead." says Grace.
"Thanks, Grace." says Alison.
"Did you have feelings for him or did you just wanna hook up?" says Grace.
"Honestly I don't remember what my thoughts were back then." says Alison.
"You once told me that it was mostly for sex that you were trying to date Ezra." says Emily.
"Okay. Guess that's it then. I forgot." says Alison.
"Not like mama to forget things." says Grace.
"Grace, I'm mortal human just like everyone else. I can forget too. I'm not perfect, even though I thought I was at age 16. During my bitchy days I had an ego too large to fit inside my body." says Alison.
"Mama, how did it feel when you came back after faking your death?" says Lily.
"Very weird. People got really surprised that I was alive. They did truly think I was so dead. The body everyone thought was me was actually another girl named Bethany Young." says Alison.
"So she was falsely identified as you?" says Lily.
"Exactly. She did resemble me...sort of...so when her body was found they thought it was me. At the time I didn't mind. I honestly thought it was good because it meant that people were sure I was dead, which I wanted everyone to think." says Alison.
"Mommy, did you think mama was dead too?" says Grace.
"I did. Just like everyone else I thought Bethany was Ali." says Emily.
"Spencer's older sister Melissa was the one who placed Bethany in a grave after Mona had knocked Bethany in the head. Both of them thought that Bethany was me. Nobody knew the truth." says Alison.
"You should've revealed yourself to mommy." says Lily.
"Part of me wanted to, but I was also afraid she'd tell everyone that I wasn't really dead." says Alison.
"Mommy love ya mama. Ya could trust her." says Grace.
"That was possible. Even so I didn't wanna risk her spreading to the entire town that I was alive." says Alison.
"I wanna know what you were like upon your return?" says Lily.
"Despite havin' been gone for a while I was still a bitch, just as I was before I left. I fell back into old habits." says Alison.
"She indeed did and this scared me nearly shitless at times. I didn't like it." says Emily.
"Em later helped me to become sweet. Thanks to her I once more saw that there's more beyond being a total damn bitch. She brought me back to the good side and once I was sweet again, she and I became a couple." says Alison.
"Yeah. I was so happy. Finally I could be with the babe I love." says Emily.
"Awwww! Sooooo cute!" says Lily.
"Thanks, Lily." says Emily.
"I wanna know how L and me came to be." says Grace.
"Spencer's evil twin and a guy named Archer stole my eggs and injected Wren's sperm into them and then they implanted the eggs into Ali." says Emily.
"Me and L weren't meant to be?" says Grace confused.
"Honestly no, but when Em and I found out that you are Em's bio-kids she and I decided to keep you girls and so we could all be a sweet lil' family." says Alison.
"Yes. That's correct." says Emily.
"Good ya didn't get an abortion, Mama Ali. If ya did, me and L would never exist." says Grace.
"Upon learning that I was your true mom I and Ali never had any doubts about wanting you girls to be born." says Emily.
"Awesome." says Grace, all happy.
Lily is of course happy too.
"Did you ever think we'd be boys?" says Grace.
"We of course didn't know at first, but we were happy when we found out that you're girls." says Emily.
"Yeah." says Alison.
"If we'd been boys, what would our names been?" says Lily.
"No idea. Ali and I never talked about that." says Emily.
"Kevin and Mitch are good boy-names." says Alison.
"Yeah." says Grace.
"True." says Emily.
"Mama, tell us about when you were a bully?" says Grace.
"Alright, sweetie. When I was a bully I had some primary targets and those were Mona, Paige, Hanna and Lucas." says Alison.
"What did you do to them?" says Grace.
"Em, should I tell our girls what I did...?" says Alison.
"Grace and Lily are mature enough to hear that part of the story." says Emily.
"I was very rude to them. Told them how worthless and weak I thought they were so they became afraid of me, scared nearly shitless." says Alison.
"You also pulled down Lucas' pants in public and tried to force Hanna to throw away her plushie toy and prevent her from eating yummy stuff." says Emily.
"Unfortunately true. I admit to all those." says Alison.
"Don't worry, Ali. They've forgiven you for what you did to them when we were younger." says Emily.
"Another thing I did was being rude to Paige for being gay and having a crush on you." says Alison.
"I believe you told her that you owned her." says Emily.
"Correct. and I gave her the very unkind nickname Pigskin." says Alison.
"Why did you call her such a nasty name?" says Lily.
"Because I wanted her to feel like less than a human. Less than what she was." says Alison.
"Ali also was mad at Paige because Paige was interested in me." says Emily.
"True. I didn't know it, but I wanted Em for myself." says Alison.
"Mama, ya said you thought you were straight back then..." says Grace.
"Yes, my desire to have Em as my babe was something not even I was aware of at the time. I only dicovered that this was true later." says Alison.
"Did Mona, Paige, Lucas and Hanna ever do stuff to you in return?" says Grace.
"No, they did not, sweetie." says Alison.
"Okay." says Grace.
"You should've been nice to Auntie Han. She's very sweet and funny." says Lily.
"She is, yeah. I simply didn't see this back then, girl." says Alison.
"Auntie Han is sooo cool." says Grace and Lily, who both love Hanna and has done so since they were little.
"Hanna is indeed a very sweet woman." says Emily.
"Yay!" says Lily.
"Is it true that you called Auntie Han a fat chick...?" says Grace.
"Unfortunately it is true that I did that. It was so rude of me. Hanna wasn't really fat, only kinda chubby." says Alison.
"Why was she cubby?" says Grace.
"Em, can ya tell this?" says Alison.
"Sure, babe. Hanna had a love for yummy food, such as cake, cookies and ice cream. Because she ate such thing rather often she got a bit chubby." says Emily.
"When and how did she stop with that?" says Grace.
"Hanna should tell that story herself sometime." says Emily.
"Okay." says Grace.
"Did you really tell Mona that she was a piece of loser-poop?" says Grace, who has heard some small bits of the story from Hanna like a year or so ago.
"Yes, but I shouldn't have done that. Such things are so far from nice. I assume what I did to her is part of why Mona became A to make me suffer the way I'd made her suffer. Mona probably wanted revenge." says Alison.
"Mama, the plushie you wanted Auntie Han to throw away, is that the same one she has in her display-cabinet at her house?" says Lily.
"It sure is. Hanna's had that pink plush bunny since she was a lil' 6 year old kid. Her mom gave it to her." says Alison.
Emily is surprised that Alison remember the origin of Hanna's plushie.
"Several times did I attempt to make Hanna throw her plushie in the trash, but that was very rude of me." says Alison.
"Does the plushie have a name?" says Lily.
"Well...I honestly don't remember." says Alison, who has forgotten that the name of Hanna's plushie is Mini Hanna.
"Oh, but I do. Hanna's plushie is named Mini Hanna, but she sometimes called it bunbun when we were little." says Emily.
Alison nod.
Alison usually has great memory, but she has somehow blocked out most of the things that happened before she turned 12.
The reason for this is probably that she wanna forget all the bad parts of her own childhood.
She does remember some things, but the majority of it all is blurry to her.
In a way she's kinda happy about that.
Alison doesn't wanna remember the pain from her life between birth and age 12.
Emily's childhood was much better than Alison's.
When she was a kid, Emily would do a lot of sweet cute childish things.
She still has wonderful memories of her and Hanna playing the classic My Little Pony video game together very often.
Emily grew up ina sweet home with aprents who were always nice to her.
Never did Emily has to suffer as Alison had to do.
Alison now tell Grace and Lily about when her dad and uncle would treat her like crap.
This was part of Alison's life from age 8 to age 10.
Alison's father Kenneth and her uncle David would often rape Alison from when she was 8 up until she turned 10 when Alison's mom jessica found out and made them stop.
Jessica though wasn't always a sweet mommy either.
She sometimes forced Alison to be without toys and fun for several days at a time.
Even to this day, Alison sometimes has very realistic creepy nightmares about her negative childhood.
Lucky for her these nightmares doesn't pop up too often though, which is good.
And they become more rare the older she get.
She assume they will stop completely in a few years.
"...mom never told the police what my dad and uncle did to me. She kept it a secret. My dad and uncles's treatment of me probably caused some mental trauma of sort. I'd guess it is one of the reasons I became a bitch." says Alison.
"It could also be genetic. Kenneth, Jessica and Charlotte all had some form on mental instability to a certain level." says Emily.
"Good point, Em. The DiLaurentis-blood is probably not as pure as some people like to think. There are signs of possible inbreeding in the family like 4 or 5 generations back. If so that could be the cause behind the mental screw-up so many DiLaurentis people have." says Alison.
"Inbreeding?" says Emily.
"Yes. Unfortunately. I went back and checked that DNA analysis they did on Charlotte and things point to my grandma's mom's husband actually being her own second cousin twice removed, which would count as inbreeding." says Alison.
"What's inbreeding?" says Grace confused.
"It's when someone has children with a person they're related to by blood. For example if two cousins end up having sex that result in a child." says Emily.
"Oh, okay." says Grace.
"Mama, who was Charlotte?" says Lily.
"She was my older sister. Her name was Charlotte, but we often called her Charlie. And as my sister she'd been another aunt for you, sweeties." says Alison.
"Alright." says Lily.
"Where is she now?" says Grace.
"Charlotte is dead." says Alison.
"Do ya miss her?" says Grace.
"Kind of. Sure, she was my sister, but she was also evil in the end. Much worse than I've ever been. Charlie was capable of raw murder." says Alison.
"Murder? If so she really was bad." says Lily.
"Indeed. She killed more than once." says Alison.
2 hours later, Alison and Emily has told their daughters everything and I mean everything.
"Sweeties, now ya know my and Em's life-story. Every single detail." says Alison.
"Thanks, mom." says Lily and Grace.
"No problem, girls. Em and I think ya deserve to know." says Alison.
"Yeah. You girls are now aware of how your mothers met and fell in love." says Emily.
"Thanks, mom." says Lily.
"You're welcome, Lily." says Emily.
"Awwww!" says a happy Lily.
Grace is happy too.
"Bedtime-time." says Alison.
"Yeah." says Emily, Lily and Grace.
"Sweet." says Alison.
Emily, Alison, Lily and Grace walk to the bedrooms and get into bed.
All 4 of them fall asleep with cute smiles on their face.
The End.
