Hi,

Are you ready for a new year? I wish you a happy New Year's Eve and most of all, a great 2018!

So, last chapter was supposed to be a one shot but some of you asked me for a second part, so here it's. So, this chapter is rated M because there's a sex scene and it will start immediately after last scene of 'sayonara'; this second part is entitled 'after you' and when you read it, I hope you get why…

NOTE 1: Everything in bold italics, it will be the character's narrative, I mean, like an internal dialogue, their thoughts.

NOTE 2: The "X" it's to mark the beginning of a new scene, I mean, a change of scenario and everything between parentheses () it's to describe the scene.

Like always, any review is welcome and thank you in advance if you have the time to leave any comment.


After you

*** Alison's narrative ***

We spend a lot of time focused on the future, planning it, working toward it. But at some point, you start to realize your life is happening now. Not after high school, not after college, right now. This is it. It's here. Blink and you'll miss it or sleep and maybe you'll fall in an eternal sleep…

There's an ever-present sorrow hanging over Emily's look and Alison's notices it. The blonde stares at the brunette standing there, at the tanned girl who was shaking and looking pale; Alison wishes Emily would never know but there's no way to run away neither to denial what was happening with her; sooner or later everybody would notice it, so the blonde takes a deep breath and reveals a secret…

Alison mumbles. – "I'm… I'm… I'm dying, Emily…"

The brunette closes her fists tight, her body gets stiff as the words of the blonde repeat over and over inside her head. Tears want to fall from her eyes, she wants to burst in tears and hug the blonde, but she can't… her body is frozen… her body doesn't move, it was like Alison's words pressed a 'turn off' button inside her and everything shut down. It took her a long moment before she could find any strength to move her jaw…

Emily mumbles with a broken voice. – "And, you… you've been facing this alone… all this time?"

The blonde sighs deeply and she glues her eyes to the IV's drip that's beside her bed…

Alison. – "It looks like my growth is spurred by sorrow… there's no need to spread that sorrow to others…"

Emily scolds. – "Ali!"

Alison. – "This is a supreme directive from the heavens, there's nothing to do about it… there's nothing you can do…"

They look at each other, a mix of emotions is reflected in their eyes… sorrow, love, regret. Emily gulps hard as she stares at the blue eyes of the blonde; the loss of Wayne was tragic for her, if the death of her beloved father triggered the worse in her, then what would trigger Alison's death? Emily can't stop asking herself that question; it's a demon's path she doesn't want but must walk…

Emily. – "Since we were little, I've always done everything for you, so don't tell me there's nothing I can do for you… I'm your killer after all…"

Alison smiles as she mumbles. – "My killer…"

The mention of Emily's nick name brings happiness and nostalgic in their hearts. They stay in silence for a moment till the blonde starts talking…

Alison. – "You're right… there's something you can do…"

(In the Fair)

It's very earlier but there is already people in there. Emily stares at the blonde who's grabbing her arm and leaning her head on it.

Emily whispers. – "I don't know how you convinced me to get us here…"

Alison. – "Come on Em; it's the last day of the Fair… you said you wanted to do something for me…"

Emily. – "Yeah… but I never thought you would nag me to get you out of the hospital without permission and bring you here… are you sure that you're feeling ok? That's ok to be here when you…"

Alison cuts her off. – "Don't jinx yourself by chanting your worries about my health, like a curse…."

Emily gulps. – "It's too scared not to…"

The blonde stares at the brunette and she can see the fear in Emily's eyes, that fear of losing her… to break her like if she was some kind of delicate glass. She doesn't want Emily to feel like that, so she gets ahead of herself and without warning, she kisses the brunette in the lips. The brunette's eyes get bigger of shock and her cheeks get really red.

Emily mumbles with blush. – "A-A-Ali…"

Alison smiles as she drags her inside the fair. – "Come on Em! I want a popsicle!"

Emily doesn't debate anymore, she just follows the blonde and do everything Alison wanted to do in the fair. Playing games, eating candies and sweet things; it was like time didn't matter, like nothing mattered besides being there… with each other. They take one step after another without worrying about Alison's health and for the 1st time in a long, long time, Alison is able to spend a happy day…

*X*


(Back in the hospital at night)

Emily says as she helps the blonde to get back in bed. – "I can't believe we didn't get caught…"

Alison smirks. – "Off course, we didn't! You're with me, I always get my way…"

Emily nods and chuckles; then she freezes when she sees how Alison connects the IV drip in her hand…

Emily mumbles. – "And… can you get your way away from this…?"

Time was flowing, ending hurting that person, her person was the last thing Alison wanted to do but

if she tells Emily, to don't worry, to leave her alone and live her life without her; Alison knows Emily's gonna sulk and get all stubborn and then everything will get more complicated. Why, everything is always complicated… especially when it comes to them? Alison askes herself that question and she's lost on her thought till she feels Emily's deer eyes looking at her…

Alison. – "I'm not giving up, Em. Time keeps flowing… even if I'm afraid, even if it's painful… even if I can't see ahead, still seeking something, I haven't given up but…"

Emily. – "No buts! You can fight this! Whatever is it! You can get your way out of this! I know you can!"

Alison sees Emily's face glowing with hope and she can't find the courage to vanish that hope in Emily…

Alison. – "Agreed. I'm a fighter… but no matter what… I want you to smile… can you promise me that, Emily? Can you promise me that no matter what, you'll keep smiling and being the person you're?"

The brunette stays in silence and takes her time to reply. She replies as she stares at Alison into the eyes…

Emily. – "It might be too late now… It might be too selfish from me to ask you this but…"

Alison. – "But?"

Emily. – "But I'll promise you that just if you let me stay at your side…."

Always by my side whenever I'm in pain, whenever I'm feeling sad… you never change, Alison was thinking that as Emily was waiting for her answer…

Emily. – "Ali…"

Alison. – "You're right…. It's selfish, but I want to be with you too… I guess we're selfish after all…"

Emily chuckles and they just stare at each other in silence as their wish of being together was finally getting real. Like, caressing a baby's head, Emily grabs Alison's head with tenderness and approaches her lips towards the blonde; their lips touch and it was just like fireworks for them. Since the day they met, Alison know all along… she pretended to don't know… to find always an excuse for her to run away from her own feelings but she was running out of time and even if it was selfish, even if she didn't think she was worthy of it… she wanted to feel it… Emily's love…

Alison pulls Emily into the bed and Emily stays above the blonde, she gulps hard when she notices something in Alison's eyes… lust…

Emily. – "Ali…"

Alison. – "Since the day we met, you're always doing your best to make me happy… and do you know what would make me really happy right now?"

Emily asks. – "What?"

Alison smiles as she caresses Emily's face. – "It will make me very happy if you make love to me…"

Emily smiles, she doesn't question Alison's words; she just leans towards the blonde and kisses her with a lot of love. The light of the moon illuminates the room and Emily takes her time to fill Alison's body with kisses; she maps her entire body with kisses till she gets between Alison's legs…

Alison moans and bites her lips. – "Emily!"

Emily. – "Ssshh… you need to be quiet or we will get caught…"

The blonde nods and she just bites her lips and curls her foot when Emily starts rubbing her nose on her folds. The blonde gets wet just feeling the warm air coming from Emily's breathing and then the brunette just licks her lips as she can see the pool of sweet juice coming from the blonde.

Emily moans as she roams her tongue in Alison's folds. – "Ali!"

The blonde just tilts her head back, she nails her fingers in the pillow and shuts her eyes down as Emily was rocking her world. With erratic breathing, Alison hips rock against Emily's face. Several minutes, working out the blonde, Emily can't hold it anymore, she needs to feel it… she needs to feel Alison's walls. The brunette replaces her face with her right hand and both, they just groan when Emily's fingers get inside…

Alison whimpers. – "Em…"

Emily drives Alison crazy with her pumping; she knew where and how to touch her, and Alison was loving each second of it. As her right hand was very busy, Emily glues her lips with Alison and they kiss with passion and love as the brunette keeps fingering her without stop…

Alison moans. – "Em… oh Emily…."

The blonde keeps enchanting Emily's name over and over and the brunette loves it. Emily holds Alison's hands above their heads, she squeezes them really hard, like she was saying 'Don't let go, no matter what!' and her other hand keeps moving in the wet pool of the blonde.

Moisty noises, erratic breathing, blurry vision, everything was feeling hot when Alison's orgasm arrived.

Alison moans. – "Emily!"

Alison's warm palpitation makes her cum, too and Emily can feel the pool of juices between her legs. They take their time to recover after such intense climax. Alison rubs her nose in Emily's face and softly kisses her…

Alison. – "I love you…"

Emily smiles, she never thought she would ever hear those words from Alison. She stares at the blonde and then sired by the blonde's beauty; she kisses her deeply.

Emily. – "I love you too…"

That night they keep making love, discovering emotions they never thought they could feel and most of all, embracing the love, they never dared before to touch.

Naked in the bed of hospital, Alison stares at the moon trough the window and smiles as she hears the snoring of the naked brunette. She turns her head towards Emily and then she caresses Emily's sleepy face….

Alison mumbles. – "So adorable…"

The blonde keeps contemplating the sleepy girl beside her and her mind starts flying away… After I'm gone… what's going to become of you? Will be able to keep smiling? Will you miss me? I wish I could stay with you longer… will you, my treasured mermaid… ever find happiness? The blonde keeps questioning herself about Emily's future and then, her exhausted body just start falling in a deep sleep.

Alison kisses Emily's front-head and says. – "After I'm gone… I hope you meet someone who means the world to you…"

The blonde feels her eyes tired, she wraps her arms around her sleeping mermaid and then she closes her eyes with a big smile. The Queen Bee fall asleep… in a perpetual sleep…

*** Alison's narrative ***

I can't help thinking about you, after all… After I'm gone… what's going to become of you? Will be able to keep smiling? Will you miss me? I wish you do… smile… will you, will you keep smiling for me? Will you meet someone who means the world to you…?

Some years after…

(In the Fields house)

Emily was doing a lunch bag in the kitchen when her mom approaches…

Pam. – "Do you need any help?"

Emily shakes her head. – "No, thanks I got it…" (She stares at the clock of the wall and yells) "Hurry up! We're going to be late and you can't be late for your 1st day of school!"

The brunette zips the lunch bag and then she walks towards the front door. Emily was putting on her jacket and then she turns her head towards the stairs when she hears the little steps of a kid. Her face glows with happiness as she stares at the little blonde… at her little blonde.

Emily mumbles. – "Ali…"

Curled blonde hair… blue eyes… wearing a beautiful dress. The little blonde jumps in Emily's arm and the brunette just hugs her with a lot of love…

Pam says. – "Honey, are you ready for your 1st day of school?"

The little blonde nods and she rushes to give a hug to the old woman. Pam and Emily squeeze the little blonde in a hug and the little girl just chuckles. The kid breaks the hug and then rushes towards her room upstairs…

Emily. – "Where are you going?"

Emily follows the kid upstairs and they get inside the room of the little blonde. The little girl grabs a photo that was beside her bed and then she kisses it…

The little blonde. – "I forgot to kiss mommy…"

Emily. – "Oh…"

Emily approaches; she takes the photo from the hands of the little girl and then she smiles as she stares at the photo… a photo of Alison…

The little blonde asks. – "Do I look like her?"

The brunette holds her in her arms and says as she stares at her little kid…

Emily chuckles. – "Yes… you do… you're, Ali and you are… connected… the way you walk, the way you move your hair, your habit of liking all the attention in you, your tastes, the order that you eat… Ali's in every little gesture of you… that's why your name is the same… Alison…"

The little Alison smiles and she hugs her as she says. – "I love you mom…"

Emily smiles. – "I love you too…"

They were hugging when Pam yells them from downstairs to leave soon, they got scolded by Pam and they rushes towards the school, for the 1st day of school of the little Alison. They just get in time and Emily stares at her little girl running inside the school.

*** Emily's narrative ***

Is really nothing you can leave me besides this sorrow? That was what I wondered for a long time till I found out you froze your eggs. Ali… after you… I met someone who means the world to me, someone who brings a smile to my face every day, someone I named after you… Alison, her name is Alison Fields... Do you get to see her? I hope you do… be sure of watch this… that daughter of ours… is about to bid you a last farewell because even after you left… you keep existing… in her…
