*** Emily's narrative ***
Family is like music, some high notes, some low notes, but always a beautiful song and, there's no most beautiful melody that the one that 3 little girls create in my heart...
The brunette doctor was singing, dancing, happy while she was making breakfast for the 1st time...
Alison approaches and, says with a sarcastic voice. - "Oh God, you're sure that you're qualified to cook...?"
Emily rolls her eyes and, says while she flips the pancakes. - "It's just pancakes... pancakes is not so hard..."
Alison hums, no convinced of her wife's cooking but, since she has her hands already occupied, she decides to let her deal with breakfast, at least for today...
Emily takes a sip of her coffe and, says while she stares at Aria. - "She can't walk?"
Alison frowns. - "Why you say that...?"
Emily teases. - "Because it will be already an hour since we all wake up and, all this time, you've been holding her into your arms..."
The blonde looks at the little brunette; her blue eyes meet with the brown eyes of the little brunette she's holding into her arms; since yesterday, Alison has been holding Aria into her, somehow, she feels this desire to don't put her away...
Alison replies. - "She's fine... she's just comfortable in my arms and, I'm ok with that..."
Emily and, Aria smiles, the little brunette hugs Alison by the neck and, the blonde smiles when the little kid leans her head over her shoulder...
Hanna stretches her arms and pouts. - "Pick me up, too!"
Spencer was going to scold Hanna, for asking any gesture of love but, before Spencer could say a word; the blonde picks them all into her arms... even Spencer...
Emily smiles. - "Wow! You're strong..."
Hanna smiles and, rubs her cheek against Alison's cheek while she hugs Alison's face. - "I like this!"
Alison chuckles, Hanna & Aria feel very comfy on her arms but the older girl is very stiff... Spencer just blushes a lot, she avoids eye-contact and, Alison notices it...
Alison looks at Spencer and, asks. - "Am I hurting you...? Am I making you uncomfortable? Do you want me to put you down...?"
Spencer can't say a word, she just shakes her head while a mix of emotions are spreading on her tiny heart; this is the 1st time that someone holds her into the arms and, it's overwhelmed and, it gets more overwhelming when...
Emily. - "Awww! I want to hug them too!"
Spencer blushes. - "What...?!"
Before knowing, the 3 girls got stuck into a big Emison's hug.
Spencer mumbles while she's trapped between Alison's & Emily's embrace. - "This is too tight..."
Hanna smiles. - "Shut up, you're loving it and, you know it..."
Spencer just rolls her eyes and, blushes, she can't deny this feels nice...
They've a beautiful breakfast, Alison was surprised, after all, at least Emily knows how to make pancakes. Like always, the brunette receives a call from the hospital and, despite the fact she really wants to stay at home with Alison and the kids, she leaves to the hospital. It was past 2pm now, Emily was getting out of a surgery when an intern rushes towards her...
Emily scolds. - "Hey! No running on the hallways, how many times I need to..."
The intern cuts her off. - "Please Dr. Fields, we need you in the ER, NOW! It's your wife, she..."
Emily just heard the word 'wife' and, she broke her own rules, since she ran on the hallways like if it was a race... a race for her life... the intern was talking to her but, her mind wasn't processing anything, all she could focus was that her wife was in the ER and, she was preparing herself for the worse case scenerio but, she wasn't prepared for what was really happening in the ER...
An intern. - "Ma'am, I already told you..." (he looks at Hanna's knee and, says) "It's just a scrape..."
Hanna dramatically cries. - "It hurts! I'm dying!"
Spencer scolds. - "Hanna, don't be so dramatic..."
Aria sobs. - "Don't die!"
Alison snaps against the intern and, demands. - "Do something! Or I swear to god I'll make your life a living hell!"
The blonde continues snapping against the intern who's attending them and, now, Hanna is not the only one crying...
Alison rolls her eyes and huffs. - "Oh for lord's sake! Stop crying and, do your fucking job!"
Emily steps in. - "ALI!"
The blonde crosses her arms above her chest, looking at Emily's gaze, she knows she did wrong, not happy, she mumbles a 'sorry' to the crying intern...
Emily sighs while she looks at the scene, the intern who looked for her, whispers into her ear...
The intern. - "Please Dr. Fields, this is the 4th intern she makes him cry, please do something... everyone in the ER is scared of your wife..."
The brunette doctor sighs deeply, this wasn't the scenerio she was expecting to see but, in one point of view is better of what her mind was fearing to see...
Emily pats the intern's back and, says. - "I will take care of this, go and treat another patient..."
The crying intern nods and, leaves...
Alison mumbles. - "Finally, a real doctor..."
Emily scolds. - "Ali..."
The blonde pouts, she refuses to apologize again, and, Emily has to just let it go, because she sees how worried Alison is for Hanna. Like the intern said, it was just a scrape, Emily puts a band-aid and, lots of kisses in Hanna's knees, the little blonde giggles and, just like that, she forgets about her pain...
Emily says to Alison. - "See, she's ok..."
Alison says while she sits besides Hanna and, hugs her. - "One second she was running and, the next, she was sitting on the floor, crying a lot... she said she was dying! What I was supposed to do!"
A tear fall from Alison's eyes, she really believed that she was going to lose the little blonde and, her heart quivers just with the thought of something bad happening to Hanna. Emily has never seen Alison so emotional, she has no idea of what to do now, but, looks like another brunette knows exactly what to do...
Spencer offers a tissu to Alison and, says. - "Don't cry, Hanna is just very dramatic..."
Emily mumbles. - "Just like you Ali..."
The blonde glares at her wife with a lethal look and, Emily gulps hard, avoiding eye-contact. Alison takes the tissue and, clears her tears.
Hanna cups Alison's cheeks with her tiny hands and, says with a bubble smile. - "I'm ok, don't cry..."
Alison feels better, Hanna's smile makes her feel better, but, she needs something else to feel even better. The blonde opens her arms and grab the 3 little girls in a big hug, Hanna and Aria smiles a lot under the embrace, Spencer blushes, she's stiff but, she doesn't push her away...
Emily smiles. - "Do you feel better now, Ali?"
Alison pouts. - "A little..."
Emily chuckles, and, says while she starts signing Hanna's chart. - "Well, you're ready to go and, Ali..."
Alison. - "Yeah?"
Emily smirks. - "Next time that any one of them gets a scrape, please come to me... I don't think that we can afford to have all the staff crying just because of the presence of a Queen Bee..."
Alison rolls her eyes and, the 3 girls as well as Emily chuckle with Alison's reaction. They were ready to leave when the brunette notices something...
Emily. - "Are those shopping bags...?"
Alison smiles. - "Yes, we went to the mall..."
Emily raises an eyebrow. - "And, what? You brought the entire mall?!"
Alison. - "They needed clothes..."
Emily. - "Well, yeah but, it looks like you bought the entire store!"
Alison says with a sassy voice. - "Actually, you did it..."
Emily. - "What?!"
Alison smirks. - "Well, you said you would take care of everything so, I used your credit card... so you're paying for all..."
Emily - "WHAT?!"
Alison says to the little girls - "Girls, when someone gives you a present, you say 'thank you'..."
Aria shows off the new dress she's wearing and, says with a big smile. - "Tank'oo..."
She got her with the bubble smile...
Emily hugs them and, says. - "Awww... I'll pay for everything! I don't care!"
Alison smirks. - "Well, in that case, you're inviting us lunch too..."
Emily. - "I haven't eating yet, there's a nice restaurant in the next block, what do you say?"
The girls look at each other and, they nods with a big smile.
Emily smiles. - "Perfect! I'll go just to change and..." (She sees that Alison grabs her arm and, says) "Something wrong...?"
Alison. - "Before leaving the hospital, I would like to check something else..."
Emily raises an eyebrow when she sees Alison staring at little Aria... Following Alison's wishes, Emily gets them a meeting with one eye-specialist...
Ophthalmologist says to Aria. - "Here, put this on..."
The little brunette puts on the glasses and, she gasps surprised that the letters doesn't look blurry either scarry anymore...
Alison caresses Aria's head and, says. - "Now we can read all we want... letters will no longer be blurry anymore..."
Aria nods and, hugs her tight. Alison smiles and, Emily' smile is brighter since it makes her really happy how Alison cares for the little girls...
In the restaurant, Aria sits besides Alison and, the blonde helps her to read the menu, Emily smiles, feeling more in love with Alison if it's human possible. The rest of the day goes very smooth; Emily wasn't in home yet, but, since it was late and, the girls looked tired, Alison decided to read a bed time story to them. The blonde was tucking them in bed, when she hears Spencer sneezes.
Alison touches Spencer's front-head and, says. - "You've fever..."
Spencer pulls away Alison's hand, she rolls in bed and, mumbles. - "You don't need to be overprotective towards me... I can take care of myself..."
She has always taken care of herself and the little Aria & Hanna, she can deal with a cold, she can deal with it by herself, that's what Spencer thinks...
Spencer mumbles while she boils in fever. - "Go 'way! Go 'way!"
Alison grabs her phone and, calls Emily...
Alison on the phone. - "Em! I need your help, now!"
The next day, Spencer wakes up feeling better than last night; when she opens her eyes, she realizes she has a cool compress on her head and, a warm hand, holding her left hand. Spencer sits on bed and, she blinks more than once when she stares at the sleeping blonde who hasn't leaved her side, not even a second...
Emily smiles. - "You're awake..."
Spencer. - "Huh?!"
Emily. - "Sssshh... let's not wake her up" (She points out towards Alison while she says) "She couldn't fall asleep till your fever got down..." (She puts a thermometer in Spencer's ear and, says) "How are you feeling...?"
Spencer doesn't know how to reply, she just looks at the blonde woman who's using her leg as a pillow, even if she's sleeping, Alison keeps holding Spencer's hand very tight; refusing to let her go and, Spencer gulps hard, since this is so new for her...
Spencer mumbles. - "She has been here all night...?"
Emily nods. - "Yeap, I told her that it was just a cold but, she refused to leave your side..."
Spencer looks at the cool compress, she recalls waking up in the middle of the night and, seeing Alison changing the cool compress each time that Spencer showed a tiny amount of discomfort. The little brunette smiles since she remembers how Alison holds her hand and, prayed for her well-being... no one has ever done that... no one...
Emily caresses Spencer's head and, says. - "You don't have fever anymore but, we will see the doctor today, just to make sure that it's just a cold and, not a virus... ok...?"
Spencer nods and, for the 1st time in her life, she allows herself to be taking care by someone else... she's no longer alone...
Hanna jumps into the bed, wearing the pillow cover as a hero cape, she even puts her tiny fists on her hips, posing as a hero when she says...
Hanna. - "I-I'm gonna beat that cold! Then Spence will be ok..."
Aria climbs on the bed too and, says with a shy voice. - "I... I want to beat that cold too... I'm gonna help too..."
Emily and Spencer chuckle with the enthusiasm of the little girls; such big commotion wakes up a blonde; Alison rubs her eyes and, the 1st thing she does is on checking on Spencer; the blonde is all freaked out till she notices that Spence doesn't have fever anymore...
Alison hugs Spencer and, says with tears in her eyes. - "You're ok... you're ok... I'm so glad... so glad you're ok..."
The little brunette gulps hard, this is the 1st time that anyone has shed a tear for her... it feels nice... really warm. For the next couple of days, Spencer was already feeling better but, Alison insisted that she needed to rest in bed; the blonde was always bringing her the food on bed and, spoiling Spencer; something that Spencer was liking a lot.
Spencer smiles while she caresses a beautiful embroidered blanket that Alison puts over her...
Alison. - "Do you like it?"
Spencer nods. - "You didn't have to buy it for me..."
Alison. - "I didn't buy it, I made it..."
Spencer blushes. - "What?!"
The blonde smiles, she hesitates on going further but, she really wants to know what Spencer thinks about what she has been doing...
Alison puts a notebook on Spencer's lap and, says. - "I noticed that you don't like when I try to buy you things so, I thought that maybe you would be ok if I design your clothes..." (She turns the pages and, says) "Look, I think you'll like these drafts..."
For the 1st time in a long, very long time, Alison is inspired to design clothes again and, her inspiration is a tiny brunette. Spencer stares at the workbook, she can tell that Alison has been putting all her heart in it and, a tear fall from Spencer's eyes...
Alison clears the tear with her thumb and, asks. - "Hey, what is wrong...?"
Spencer chuckles, with tears in her eyes, she hugs the notebook against her chest and, says while she smiles. - "Nothing... it's just perfect... perfect..."
Some days later, Emily was happy since she finally got some days off from work; the brunette was so happy that she would be able to spend time with what has become her 'new' family and, she smiles a lot when she comes back home and, sees Alison, making dresses for the girls...
Hanna waves her dress and, says with a bubble smile. - "I look like a princess!"
Aria smiles. - "Me too!"
Alison smiles, seeing those bubble smiles has become her joy; she was adjusting Spencer's dress and, says with a smile...
Alison. - "You look beautiful too..."
Spencer looks at her dress and, smiles, she's not so open with her emotions like Aria or Hanna, but, she knows she's happy, really happy so, she hugs Alison and, the blonde smiles a lot with the unexpected hug.
Emily says with excitement. - "You look beautiful and, I just got us tickets to Disneyland, so, what do you say?!"
The girls screams with frenzy of excitement; they hug Emily a lot and, Alison raises an eyebrow to Emily...
Emily smirks. - "What?! You're not the only one who can spoil them..."
Alison chuckles and, the big happy family prepares to leave. They spend a wonderful day, so magical that, Spencer starts believing that maybe magic exist, that maybe Hanna's wish did come true, but that thought dissipates when they come back home and finds someone on the door, waiting for them...
Emily. - "Mary...?"
Mary smiles while she looks at their painted faces, at all the candies and, stuffed animals they brought from their day in the park.
Alison says with fear while she hugs tight the sleeping Aria that she's holding on her arms. - "What are you doing here...?"
Mary looks at them and, says with a smile - "I found them a home..."
*** Alison's narrative ***
As much as you want to plan your life, it has a way of surprising you with unexpected things that will make you happier than you originally planned. Good things come from nowhere and, just like that, they can go away too...
Hanna and Aria got in so many games all day long that on their way home,they were already asleep when they get home. Emily puts the sleeping kids on bed, while Mary is in the living room with Alison, the blonde is holding Spencer on her arms, the little brunette is sitting on Alison's lap, she doesn't know what is happening, but, she doesn't like it...
Alison hugs Spencer and, mumbles. - "Are you sure is a good home for them...?"
Mary nods. - "I'm sure..." (She puts the file in front of Alison and, says) "He's a famous writter and, his wife is in charge of many charitable institutions, they're perfect..."
The blonde looks at the photo of Erza & Nicole, she feels sicks already just seeing at the 'perfect couple'...
Alison rolls her eyes and throws the file away while she says with a bitter voice. - "If they're so perfect, why they don't have their own children..."
Mary scolds. - "Alison! That's rude!"
Alison pouts angry, she doesn't care, she doesn't approve them and, that's all she needs to say...
Mary. - "They want to meet the girls tomorrow..."
Alison snaps. - "WHAT?!"
Mary's phone rings and, she says while she stands up to take the call...
Mary. - "I need to take this call... wait a moment..."
Her aunt walk away and, Alison just waves her legs without stop, she doesn't know what to do till someone says something to her...
Spencer mumbles. - "You don't want us to go...?"
Alison can't speak, there's a knot in her throat, she just shakes her head while tears fall from her blue eyes.
Alison rambles. - "What's come over me? My heart's all tight... is this maternal instinct...?! But I can't be a mom, I'm an awful person, I would be a bad role model for you... I... I..." (She says, feeling defeated) "You deserve so much better than me..."
The brunette sees Alison's tears, she sees the blonde and, she says while she cups Alison's face with her tiny hands and, their eyes meet...
Spencer. - "I believe in logic, in the facts, I believe in what I know for sure is real, I'm not like Hanna or Aria who still believe in unicorns and fairies..."
Alison nods. - "I know..."
Spencer. - "And, do you know that our world is ruled by numbers...?"
Alison. - "What do you mean?"
Spencer. - "In order for us to exist, a great many unlikely events needed to unfold in exactly the way that they did. For example, gravity; did you know that if gravity were slightly more powerful, the universe would collapse..."
Alison. - "I did not..."
Spencer. - "Also, if gravity were slightly less powerful, the universe would fly apart and, there'd not be stars or planets... gravity is precisely as strong as it needs to be, what are the odds of that?
Alison. - "Where are you going with this...?"
Spencer. - "I believe our world is ruled by the laws of probability, that said, there's one thing we can be sure of in this entire world, numbers are never wrong: nothing that occurre by the law of probability is wrong and that includes the fact that there are 5 billion people on this planet and you're the perfect mom for me, for us. What are the odds of that?"
Alison smiles like a fool, she has no words to say, she just hug the little brunette very tight...
Spencer blushes. - "It's too tight..."
Alison chuckles. - "I don't care..."
Mary and Emily emerges in the living room at the same time...
Emily looks at Mary and, asks with a sad voice. - "When are you taking them away...?"
Mary was going to reply but, a blonde cuts her off...
Alison. - "Never!"
Mary & Emily say at the unison. - "WHAT?!"
Alison stares at Spencer, the little brunette looks at her and, smiles and, with that smile, Alison knows she's doing the right thing...
Alison hugs Spencer and, says while she stares at Mary into the eyes. - "This is their home... they're mine... I'm their mom..." (She looks at Emiliy and says with a smile) "We're their moms... their home..."
Emily cries with happiness, she nods with frenzy and, rushes to her wife and hugs her...
*** Hanna's narrative ***
Do you believe in magic? Do you believe in fairy tales? In fairies? Do you believe in the happily ever after? Because I do… I really do… I believe today is the day, I believe today I'll get what I've been craving for so long, yes… today, it's the day, the day I'll get a family… a mom, no... two moms! Maybe even a dog… yeah… today, I'll finally get what I always wanted… even more...
Some years later...
Spencer yells while she moves some boxes. - "Hanna! Move your ass! I will not pack for you!"
Hanna. - "But you like micro-managing and, putting all in order..."
Spencer rolls her eyes and, another brunette rushes inside the room...
Aria plays with her glasses and says. - "Has anyone see my red hoodie?"
The girls look around, they look for it but don't fint it till someone else emerges into the room...
Alison says while she holds a laundry basket. - "Are you looking for this...?"
Aria smiles when she finds her red hoodie on the top, she grabs it and, says while she pecks Alison's cheek...
Aria. - "Yei! Thanks mom!" (she walks away very fast and, says) "I already packed so, I'm going to the movies with Noel, see you..."
Emily hears the name of 'Noel' and, she pouts with jealousy...
Emily stands besides her wife and says. - "We need to have a talk with that Noel... I don't like him for our little Aria..."
Alison smirks. - "Oh, don't go there, Em, you forbid her to see him and, she'll do the opposite... my mom banned you from our house and, I ended marrying you so..."
Emily rolls her eyes and, Alison just chuckles, amused with Emily's reaction...
Alison puts the laundry on the bed and, sighs with nostalgic while she sees all the boxes on the room...
Alison mumbles sad. - "I can't believe you're already leaving for college..."
Spencer teases while she stares at Hanna. - "I can't believe she's a graduate..."
Hanna whines. - "Hey! I'm smart!"
Everybody chuckle. Emily drags Hanna to her room and, says...
Emily. - "C'mon Hann, you've barely packed and, you're leaving tomorrow..."
Hanna pouts - "But, I don't wanna pack... it's lot of work..."
Emily chuckles. - "I'll help you, c'mon..."
They leave and, Alison stays in Spencer room. Spencer is moving boxes and, putting stuffs inside them while Alison stares at her...
Alison. - "Do you need help...?"
Spencer shakes her head. - "No, thanks I got it..."
Alison nods, she sits on Spencer's bed and, her eyes roam around the room while she says...
Alison. - "Are you sure you don't want to take some time off...?"
Spencer smirks. - "I already took a sabbatical year doing voluntary service in Africa with Tobby, I think that's enough..."
Alison smiles sad and, nods. She's sad they're leaving, specially Spencer, she just came back after being so far with her boyfriend and, now that she's finally home, she's leavin again, it breaks Alison's heart.
Spencer points out towards a box and, says. - "Could you pass me that box, please?"
Alison nods. - "Sure..."
The blonde grabs the box and, she freezes when she sees what is inside, she puts her hands inside and, pulls out the old blanket that she made for Spencer years ago...
Alison looks at Spencer with watery-eyes and, mumbles. - "You're taking this with you...?"
Spencer looks down and, nods while she plays with her hair.
Alison. - "Why...?"
Spencer looks at her into the eyes and says from the heart. - "Because I don't know what will be the odds for me to excel in college or to successfully complete my projects. But I know that every time I put that blanket around me, the uncertainty of my failing vanishes and, the odds come to nothing, I see this blanket and I realizes that I'm your child, I'm the kid of Alison DiLaurentis, so the odds don't apply to me... I can do everything... there's no odds or doubts which can bring me down since this blanket makes me invincible..."
The blonde has no words, to say, tears fall from her eyes, she hugs the blanket and then, she puts it over Spencer. Alison cups Spencer cheeks with her hands, she sofly kisses her front-head and, hugs her with lots of love...
Alison. - "I love you..."
Spencer hugs her too and, says. - "I love you too, mom..."
*** Spencer's narrative ***
Do you believe in magic? Do you believe in fairy tales? In fairies? Do you believe in the happily ever after? I didn't believe in that kind of stuffs but you should, because after all, magic exist, dreams come true and, love... love will always be the best magic in the world... specially mom's love...
