Chapter 47 – All My Life

(In the Fields-DiLaurentis house)

*** Music background: Paradise Circus by Massive Attack***

Alison was waking up when she heard what it sounded as a lullaby coming from the nursery; she walked in and she found one of the mobile of one of the cribs on; she looked confused as she turned it off and as soon as the music started to be off; she shivered as someone from behind approached and sang on her hear with cold breathe the rest of the lullaby…

Talia sang with a devious voice. – "La, la, la… lullaby… guardian angels are near… so sleep without fear…" (Devious laughs)

Alison recognized the voice and she did her best to stay calm for the own well-being of her babies…

Alison. – "I'm not afraid of you…"

Talia pointed out Alison's belly with a gun and the blonde gulped when she felt the extreme of the cold steel of the gun pushing against her belly…

Taiia smirked. – "You should be… I will think it twice if you're thinking on scream for help or anything like that… I can put the trigger in any second…" (Devious laughs)

Alison turned slowly in order to see her aggressor in the eyes…

Alison. – "What do you want from me?"

Talia. – "I will tell you but not here…"

The blonde stood frozen as she was refusing to move but the gun wasn't target to her life directly, it was pointing out to her little babies…

Talia. – "Start walking…"

Alison saw by the corner of her eye; an open paint bucket close to her foot; the blonde faked a pain on her belly and she spilled out the paint on the floor with her foot; she sat on the floor and quickly wrote something with her finger on the floor without Talia noticing it…

Talia pointed out the gun again against Alison's belly and said. – "We're moving now!"

The blonde nodded and stood up; they started to walk away…

Alison's thoughts. – "Please Em… understand my message…"

It was a raining morning what brought Emily back to her house sooner of what it was usual; once they made it into the entrance of the house, Pepe started to bark not stopping, it was like he could feel that something wasn't ok…

Emily. – "Hey buddy… calm down… you will wake up mama…"

Emily's thoughts. – "I still can't believe that what I wanted all my life has come true…" (Big smile) "She might be still sleep… I will make breakfast and bring it on bed for her…"

The brunette was making some pancakes when someone rang the bell; it was Spencer…

Spencer got in as the front door is open. – "Hey… it was open…"

Emily. – "In the kitchen Spence… keep it a little quiet… Ali must be still sleeping on bed…"

Spencer said once she got in the kitchen with a big smirk on her face. – "Are you cooking? I don't think that food poisoning would be the best for Ali or the babies…" (Little laughs)

Emily smirked. – "It's pancakes and fruit…"

Both brunettes were climbing the stairs with the breakfast for the blonde and they speeded up their walk when they heard Pepe barking…

Emily. – "Pepe! Stop! You're going to…"

The brunette stood speechless as she found the bed empty…

Spencer asked. – "Where is Ali?"

Emily gulped and put the food on the nearest furniture. And both started to reach for the blonde in the entire big house…

Emily yelled. – "Ali… babe… Ali… Alison!"

The brunette started to sweat cold and experience heart palpitations as she couldn't see her pregnant wife anywhere; Spencer dialed Alison's number but it was in vain as the phone of the blonde was left on the bedroom.

Spencer. – "Where could she had gone?"

Emily said with a lot of concern in her voice. – "I-I-I don't know…"

(Pepe barking)

Emily followed the barks of the dog and both brunettes were in the nursery; Emily was trying to calm down her dog as Spencer noticed the paint on the floor and approached to it…

Spencer was kneeled seeing close to the floor with paint and said very louder. – "Call the cops! Call Toby! Now!"

Emily. – "What?! Why?!"

Spencer stood up and pointing out something in the floor; Emily approached and her eyes got bigger of concern as she read what Alison left for her…

Message written with paint: 'Talia help'

Aria and Hanna made it to the house as soon as they received the SOS from Spencer; they ran fast into the house when they saw the cops; as soon as they arrived, they found Emily sat on the couch with a lost look in her eyes and rubbing her fist as Spencer was talking with some cops; both girls sat beside the brunette and patted Emily's back as they were trying to give her any kind of comfort…

Hanna. – "Em…"

Emily. – "I shouldn't have get out for a run! What I was thinking?!"

The girls were looking to each other when Toby came into the house, as soon as they saw them all of them stood up and Emily approached him…

Toby. – "Emily, don't worry, we will do everything in our power to get Alison back…"

Emily. – "Toby, I don't need to be handled ok… just let me know where things stand…"

Toby. – "Let's start with the facts as we now understand them… Alison was still into the house until this morning; about the message that you found written on painting… it really can be a clue that Alison left us… I made some calls and apparently a few weeks ago, Talia got out of prison…"

Hanna. – "I will kill that bitch if she dares to hurt our emison!"

Toby. – "For now that message is our only clue, sadly no one has seen Talia on Rosewood but all the cops had been notified with a picture of her…"

Aria. – "Why she would do this? Money?"

Toby. – "This can be a kidnapping for money but until anyone made a call, we can't know for sure… we're creating contingency plans if anyone makes contact asking for a rescue…"

Aria. – "If?! What do you mean 'IF'?!"

Emily. – "We know that Talia do anything for money… she sold her soul to –A just for money…"

Toby. – "Look Em… it's possible that this was motivated by revenge…"

Emily yelled. – "Revenge?! Of what?! She was the one who tried to screw us in the 1st place!"

Spencer. – "Em, calm down… ok… Toby, in that case… I mean if this is a vendetta… where that leaves Alison on this?"

All the girls looked concerned thinking on the worse scenarios that could happen…

Toby. – "Look girls, whatever the motives of this… we need to stay positives…"

Emily said with tears on her face. – "I can't believe that this is happening…"

All the girls made a hug group around the brunette…

Hanna. – "We're gonna to find her Em… we will…"

(In Spencer's house)

As the cops were collecting evidence in Emily's house; the girls went to Spencer house and start to do their own investigation as old times…

Emily. – "I can't believe that any neighbor saw anything!"

Spencer. – "Look Em… we have a really good clue thanks to Ali… it might take us a little of time but we will find her before Talia hurt them…"

Emily. – "And what if we don't do it in time?! What if we arrived too late?! Beside the fact that Talia is involved on this! We don't know anything! We're on square one!"

Aria. – "It will not be the 1st time… we're gonna solve this Em… we will find a way… we've done it before with less to go on…"

Hanna. – "Yes Em… no one is giving up here…"

Emily. – "Thank you…" (Tears from her eyes) "I'm sorry… I am so sorry…"

Spencer. – "Emily, this isn't your fault!"

Emily. – "I don't know… maybe if I'd just…"

Hanna. – "No Ifs… you're not torturing yourself with Ifs… the only person to blame for this is Talia who took her…"

Aria. – "Hann is right Em… look, Ali is strong and smart and she's going to get through this…"

Emily sighed. – "Yeah…"

Aria. – " No, no, no… you need to believe it! I'm not just saying this… she's gonna be all right… I feel it in my heart and my heart is never wrong!"

Emily nodded. – "I just keep wondering how did Talia know that Alison was going to be alone in the house?"

Spencer. – "Yeah… her timing it's too precise…"

Hanna. – "What are you thinking?"

Spencer. – "That she might be close to you for a long time… following you… checking your schedules…. So she has been spying on you… she definitely needed a car for that… so I'm proposing to check on all the places on Rosewood where you can rent a car…"

(In Aunt Carol's house – Property of the DiLaurentis)

Alison. – "This isn't your property…."

Talia said as she was pointing out Alison's belly with the gun. – "You're not in position to say anything here…"

Alison rolled her eyes and continued walking inside the property; once inside the old empty house…

Alison. – "What do you want?! Why we're here?!"

Talia said with a bitter tone that showed a lot of anger. – "What I want?! I want my freedom back!"

Alison. – "It looks that you've it already…"

Talia got mad and pushed Alison against a wall with violence; the old woman put her arm on Alison throat and she continued pointing out the gun on Alison's belly; the blonde took deep breaths as she looked at the crazy eyes of the other woman…

Talia said with anger. – "I want every day that I expended in prison back!"

Alison. – "Talia…"

Talia yelled. – "Don't say my name!" (She took off the lock on the gun) "Don't say my name in that bitchy mouth of yours! I didn't come here to hear you talk! You're the one who will listen to me! I've a lot of stuffs that you've to hear! Ok?!"

Alison said with a little of shaky moves as she saw by the corner of her eyes, Talia's finger pressing against the trigger…

Alison. – "Ok… ok… ok… I-I'm listing to you…"

The blonde continued trying to stay calm and let the crazy woman speaks about her hard time in jail, how her husband let her alone and asked for the divorce; Talia was blaming all the DiLaurentis family for her doom life…

Alison self-talk in her mind. – "God! Does she think that I'm a shrink or what?! Just wait that you stop pointing out that gun on my babies and you will really know me bitch…"

As Talia was talking, Alison was trying to analyze what to do in that risky situation; the blonde needed to act quickly for the safety of her babies…

(In Spencer's house)

Aria and Hanna stood up when they heard Emily coming in…

Aria. – "Did someone call for a rescue or something?"

Emily shook her head and said. – "No… my parents are going to stay at my house with some cops, in case if anyone calls…" (Sighs) "Did you find something…?"

Hanna. – "Nothing… this fucking town is helpless!"

Emily sighed and she bitted her lips as she wasn't sure of what to do; her thoughts were interrupted when Spencer came in with Blair; Spencer put a map on the table and said…

Spencer. – "So because the car idea is a dead end… I think that we should try Blair's idea…"

Emily. – "What is it?!"

Blair. – "Well, I think that we should check on all the places where she put a foot in… I mean… I don't think that she's smart enough to look for a new place to hide… she might got back to one place that's familiar for her…"

Spencer said as she started to put circles on some places of the map. – "So we will separate in teams to check each place… we will text us if we found anything…"

(In a gas station in Rosewood)

Spencer. – "So anyone found something…?!"

Aria. – "No… Hanna & I we looked at her old apartment but nothing…"

Spencer sighed. – "Blair and I looked also in the motels… but nothing… this woman really took over –A on hiding her tracks…"

Hanna. – "Where is Em?"

Blair said checking the map. – "She was supposed to check the place where Jessica died… in that house, Talia and Jessica, they met on a regular basis…"

Hanna said as she was dialing Emily's number. – "She's not picking up…"

Spencer. – "Maybe she's driving…"

Aria. – "What if she's in danger too?!"

Spencer sighed. – "We can imagine a lot of scenarios here… let's go to her but let's take just one car…"

All the girls nodded and followed her…

(In Aunt Carol's house – Property of the DiLaurentis)

Talia was talking no sense as a crazy person; she stopped to point out the gun on Alison's belly and the blonde took that chance to grab a lamp that close to her and punch Talia with it; the old woman fell to the ground; Alison couldn't run fast because of her pregnancy but she did her best to try to get out from there as soon as possible; she opened the front door and she jumped of surprise when she saw a cop car approaching to the property; the blonde waved her hands and the cop got out of the car…

Alison. – "Hi! Here! Please! Help!"

Lorenzo. – "Miss; what is the problem?"

Alison. – "This crazy woman, Talia, she brought me here… please you have to help me!"

Someone called to the cop from their internal communication between cops…

Toby by the radio. – "Did you find something?"

Lorenzo smirked by the radio. – "No… the property is empty… no one is here…"

Alison looked confused, seeing that the cop just reported nothing…

Talia said from behind as she rubbed her head. – "You're late Lorenzo…"

Alison gulped hard as she understood that no help was coming…

(On the road)

Emily was beside the road, looking to her car as it just got stuck there in the middle of nowhere…

Emily said when she felt that it started to rain. – "Great!"

For fortune of the brunette, a car approached and she smiled when she recognized some faces in it…

Blair. – "Do you need a ride?!"

Emily. – "Thanks God that you're here! I didn't have sign to call…"

The girls looked to their phones and shook their heads…

Spencer. – "It must be the zone… come on get in…"

Emily got into the car and they drove towards the house of the aunt of Alison, Carol's house…

(In Aunt Carol's house – Property of the DiLaurentis)

In question of minutes, the rain was already a storm; the blonde saw herself cornered by Talia and Lorenzo…

Alison asked when she saw Lorenzo putting out on a table a lot of surgical tools. – "What is that for…?"

Talia smirked. – "Did you know that people would pay a lot of money for babies…" (Devious smiles) "I'm pretty sure that you've in there beautiful babies… I already have a buyer for each one of them…"

Alison said as she grabbed her belly. – "You're not touching my babies!"

Talia smirked. – "I'm not asking your permission… I can't have my life back… all the time that I stood there in jail… but you will definitely pay me back and this is the way I choose for it…"

Lorenzo yelled. – "You two! Stop talking! Let's do this fast…" (He said to Talia) "Remember cousin, I will have half of the profits on this ok!"

Alison. – "Cousins?!"

Talia. – "Yeah… this is a familiar business…" (Mocking smiles) "Now catch her Lorenzo…"

As Lorenzo approached, Alison walked backwards with big eyes of concern for her babies; she put a hand on her belly and then her other hand touched the wall…

Lorenzo smirked. - "You're cornered… no place to hide…"

Alison gulped hard and then in the wall her fingers touched a nail; she got it out of the wall and she took a deep breath as she decided what move to do next; Alison left Lorenzo approached her very close and when he inclined a little towards her; she put the nail on his eye; the man groaned of pain and Alison took that chance to take his gun that was on his police belt; as Lorenzo was lying on the floor by the pain of his eye; Alison was standing up with the gun pointing out towards Talia; both women were pointing out to each other…

Talia. - "Don't do anything stupid Alison…"

Alison. - "You're the one doing stupid things… if you think that you can take my babies away from me and sold them as puppies… you're wrong!"

It was raining very strong when the girls approached to the property; from the car, as they were approaching, they saw a police car parked in front of the house…

Spencer. - "The police is here?!"

Blair who was driving, stopped the car and when they stopped, they heard shots coming from the house; Emily's eyes got bigger of shock and fear; she didn't think it twice before running inside the house; the girls followed her…

Spencer yelled to Emily. - "Emily! Wait!"

The brunette didn't care of what could happen to her; she just got into the house and once inside; her jaw dropped open of shock for what she was seeing: Alison and Talia in the floor, Talia looked dead and Alison was hurt in the upper part of her chest…

Emily screamed. – "OMG! Ali!"

Alison chucked. - "The good thing is that she had bad aim… thanks God that she didn't pointed out to my belly…"

Emily kneeled beside her wife and started pressing her hands on the wound of the blonde in order to stop the bleeding; she was so focused on Alison that she didn't notice when Lorenzo stood up…

Alison screamed. - "Emily! Watch up!"

Before Lorenzo could do anything against the couple; the girls arrived and launched themselves over him like savage animals; in question of seconds, they knocked him out; he stood unconscious on the floor but Hanna continued kicking him no-stop…

Spencer. – "Hanna! I think that it's enough!"

Hanna said as she continued kicking him. - "No! It's not enough!"

Blair said as she was examining Alison's wound. – "I think that the bullet is still inside… we should take you to an hospital…"

Alison was getting up with the support of Emily and Blair when water came out from her legs; everybody looked at it in shock…

Aria gulped as she pointed out towards Alison. - "What is that?!"

Blair. – "Her water just broke…"

Hanna panicked. – "What?! The babies are coming?! For real?!"

Emily. – "We need to bring her to the hospital…"

They started to walk but Alison stopped as she felt the contractions; she collapsed on Emily and the girls approached for support…

Alison screamed. – "Ah! I can't walk… this hurt!"

Blair decided to check on the blonde and when she raised Alison's dress, Spencer looked at it too and said with big eyes…

Spencer yelled. – "OMG! Is that a head!"

Emily. – "What?!"

Aria panicked. – "Oh God!"

Emily looked at Alison and fear was reflected on her eyes…

Alison screamed. – "I don't wanna have these babies in the car…"

Spencer. – "Looking to your contractions, that a head is almost out… plus the rain and that we're really far from an hospital… plus I don't know… a tree in the road…" (Sighs) "I think that the best option is staying here…" (She playfully hit Blair's arm and said) "Beside, we've a doctor here…"

Blair sighed. – "I'm an intern…"

Alison screamed for the contractions

Emily said as she looked at Blair. – "Please! Do something!"

Blair. – "Ok, ok… I will need blankets, water, I have a surgical kit in my car, I will go for it and then I will wash my hands… Emily, sit behind Alison… you will be her support…"

The brunette continued giving indications and between all the girls, they put a lot of blankets around Alison.

Spencer. – "Hanna, let's find something to tie up this guy! We don't want any surprise…"

Hanna nodded and she found in the house tape; they tied up Lorenzo, who continued being unconscious…

Blair. – "Ok, I will need to all of you to wash your hands too… they are 3 so we will need all the hands that we can have…"

Aria nodded and said with shaky voice. – "Ok… we can do this… right?! I mean… people do this on their homes… right?!"

Hanna shook the tiny brunette and said. – "Stop panicking?! You're just making me more nervous!"

Alison yelled. – "Shut up! Shut up! God! You're not the one in pain!" (She squeezed Emily's hand and said with pain) "This hurt Em! Fuck this hurt! This wasn't supposed to be like this!"

Emily said as she kissed Alison's sweaty head. – "I know… I know babe… but everything will be ok…"

Blair. – "Ok… Ali… there are no drugs so this may hurt… but I need you to push… ok…"

The blonde nodded and then she waved her hands and grabbed Blair's hand as she looked at her into the eyes…

Blair said as she saw the fear on Alison's eyes. – "Everything will be ok…"

Alison gulped. – "I need you to promise me that if you feel that you're gonna to lose me…"

Emily said with watery-eyes. – "Ali!"

Alison squeezed Blair's hand and continued talking. – "Blair! Promise me that you make sure that these babies are ok!"

Emily. – "No! No! No! Alison! Do not…. Blair! Don't listen to her ok! You save her! You save them! All of them!"

Alison squeezed Blair's hand and continued talking as she narrowed her eyes on Blair. – "Blair! Promise me! Promise me that you will save my babies no matter what! If you have to choose who to save… you save them and not me ok! Promise me!"

Emily. – "No!"

Blair yelled. – "Everybody quiet ok! Please"

(Sighs)

Spencer rubbed Blair's back and said. – "Blair… you've this… ok… just have faith on you… I've faith on you… I trust you… we trust you…"

Blair looked up to Spencer and seeing the certitude on her eyes, made her be calmer…

Blair took a deep breath and said. – "Ok… I promise that I will do my best to keep everybody alive… but I need you on this too Ali… so now… we're gonna start delivering ok… are you ready?"

Alison nodded. – "OK…"

Blair. – "Ok… push…"

(Screams of Alison in labor)

Blair. – "Ok… that's good… keep pushing Ali…"

Alison continued screaming and squeezing Emily's hands and all the girls were there waiting with big eyes of fear until they heard the crying of a little baby…

Emily. – "OMG! Is he ok…?!"

Blair nodded as she was cleaning the entrance of his mouth and nose. – "Yes… we've a very healthy little boy…" (She used her medical kit to cut out the umbilical cord and she tucked him in a warm blanket and then she gave it to Spencer who was beside her) "Here… grabbed him tight…"

Spencer said with a big smile as she watched to the little boy on her arms. – "OMG! He's gorgeous…" (She approached to the couple and showed the baby to them) "Look…"

Alison sighed. – "He's perfect Em…"

Emily nodded and smiled. – "Yes… he's…"

Blair. – "Ok… there are two more to go so… Ali… I need you to get ready to push again ok…"

Spencer gave the little boy to Aria and then she sat again beside Blair to assist…

Aria smiled. – "OMG! He's smiling to me…"

Hanna approached and smiled looking to the little one. – "He has a beautiful smile…"

Blair. – "Ok… Ali… give me a push…"

(Screams of Alison pushing and then the crying of another baby)

Alison sighed. – "He's crying… Is he ok?!"

Blair. – "He's perfect…"

They did the same for the second baby boy and Spencer gave it to Hanna to hold; the blonde was scared to hold him…

Spencer. – "It will be ok Hann… you can do this…"

Hanna nodded and once she had the baby on her arms she smiled. – "OMG! This is amazing…"

Everybody was looking towards the two babies when Alison's screams of pain become louder…

Alison screamed. – "Ahhhh! Something is not right!"

Emily said with fear on her voice. – "Ali! What is wrong?!" (She looked towards Blair and asked) "Blair?! Talk to me!"

Blair gulped. – "I can't feel the head… he's not in bridge… he's not upside down… he's sideways…"

Emily said with fear on her voice. – "What does it means?!"

Blair sighed. – "The baby has his head to one of Ali's sides…" (Sighs) "I need his head down or at least breech to be able to deliver him… ok… Ali… I will check something… so you might feel a little uncomfortable ok…" (She touched something and then her eyes got bigger) "Fuck!"

Alison sighed. – "What?!"

Blair gulped. – "The baby… he has the umbilical cord around his neck… we need to get him out as soon as possible… his pulse is very slow…"

Alison gulped. – "Oh God!"

Spencer. – "Does anyone have sign on their phone?!"

The girls shook their heads…

Spencer sighed. – "Fuck! We need a hospital right?!"

Alison sighed. – "There is no time for that! You need to get the baby out before he chokes!"

Emily gulped. – "You can't do a caesarean here! This is not a chirurgical room!"

Blair. – "There is another option… do a c-section here may be fatal for Ali…"

Alison sighed. – "You can't let my little boy died Blair! You promised me!"

Blair. – "I think that I can do an internal Dalek version…"

Hanna. – "What the hell is that?!"

Blair. – "I rotate the baby inside until I can grab a foot and then I deliver it at breech…"

Emily gulped. – "Is that safe?!"

Alison squeezed Emily's hand and said. – "Em… you know that we couldn't be in better hands…"

Blair. – "Emily… like in any procedure… there are risks… but I'm telling you if we don't get the baby out and cut the umbilical cord… he may die for absence of oxygen… I could try a c-section but I believe that is even riskier for both of them… for Ali and the baby…"

Emily stood in silence for fear of what could happen next…

Alison sighed. – "Ok… Blair… do the fucking whatever you said… just save my baby!"

Blair said as she looked at Emily. – "Are you too on board?!"

Emily nodded with a little of fear on her voice. – "Yes…"

Blair. – "Ok… Ali… this will hurt as hell but I will try to do it as fast as possible ok…"

Alison screamed. – "Just do it!"

Blair. – "Ok… Emily, Spencer… I will need you to stabilize Alison's legs… they don't have to move ok… now Ali… you can scream all you want but just don't push ok! I will tell you when to push but not right now…"

Alison nodded

Emily said as she kissed Alison's front-head. – "And you can squeeze my hand all you want ok!"

Alison nodded with a weak smile on her tired face…

Blair. – "Ok… in the count of 3… girls… keep her tight… 1… 2…. 3!"

Alison screamed of pain as she had never done it before; she squeezed very hard Emily's hand and the brunette just cried in silence, trying to be as supportive as possible for her wife in pain…

Alison shook her head and screamed. – "Oh God! It's too much! I can't! I can't!"

Blair. – "Ali… almost there…"

Alison shook her head and screamed. – "No! No! No! I can't!"

Emily said to her wife. – "Ali! Ali! Ali! Listen to me! Yes you can! You can do this! Ok!"

Alison sighed looking at Emily. – "I just wanna this to be over!"

Emily. – "And it will be over very soon Ali… I promise… you're so strong… and our babies are as strong as you… and right now our little boy need you to be a little stronger ok… just a little more… ok…"

Alison sighed and nodded. – "Ok…"

Blair. – "Ok, I've got the baby turn… now… just give me a push now… ok Ali…"

Alison pushed and screamed as hell…

Blair. – "Ok stop! Stop! Stop!"

Alison sighed. – "Is he ok?!"

Blair. – "I've the body ok… I'm just trying to move a little the cordon before get the head outside… we don't want your baby to choke…"

Alison cried. – "Emily! This hurts!"

Emily kissed Alison's head. – "I know, I know… but you're almost there…"

Blair. – "Ok, I got it… now push Ali… push!"

Alison pushed and screamed as hell…

Blair. – "Ok, I got it!"

(Screams of a baby)

Blair said as she gave the baby to the couple. – "Emily… do you wanna cut the cord?"

Alison said with a weak smile. – "Come on Em…"

Emily smiled and followed the instructions of Blair and cut the umbilical cord of her 3rd child; Alison hugged the little boy in her arms and smiled…

Alison. – "Hi baby boy… Em… he has your nose… he's just like you… like his mommy…"

Emily approached and hugged Alison's with one arm and then she approached her other hand to the little boy; the baby was crying but when he saw the two girls above him, he started to smile and he grabbed one of Emily's fingers and squeezed it…

Emily smiled to his little boy and said. – "He's squeezing my finger! He's smiling me!"

Alison gave the little boy to hold to her wife; Emily careful took him in her arms; Alison leaned her head on Emily's shoulder as they were looking to their little boy; Aria and Hanna approached with the other boys; all the girls were smiling looking to the little boys…

Aria smiled. – "They're beautiful guys!"

Hanna smiled. – "Yeah… these emison are the cutest babies that I've ever seen… and this one that I've in my arms… he just looks like you Ali…"

Spencer smiled. – "Yeah… you're right…"

*** Music background: The Way it Ends by Landon Pigg***

Emily smiled looking to her 3 little boys. – "They're beautiful… right Ali?... Ali…?!"

Emily was talking when Alison faint and collapsed unconscious on the floor…

Emily cried looking to her wife. – "Ali! Ali! Talk with me! Ali!" (She looked towards Blair) "What is happening?!"

Blair approached to the blonde to examine her; she asked the other girls to give her a little of space; Emily was holding one of her babies and gulped hard as she saw Alison with the eyes closed

Emily screamed. – "Blair?!"

Blair sighed. – "It's the bullet… in her chest… I think that she's bleeding internally…"

Aria cried. – "What do we do…?! We don't have sign here…! We can't call for help!"

Spencer stood up as one idea came to her mind and ran outside on the rain towards the police car of Lorenzo; she entered in to the car and with shaky movement tried to turn on the communicator of the cops…

Spencer sighed with despair. – "Come on! You're a Hastings! You can figure it out how this work!" (Tears) "Come on!" (She heard a voice on the radio of the equipment) "Hi! Is there anyone there?!"

Toby by the radio. – "Spence?!"

Spencer smiled hearing Toby voice. – "Toby! We need help! ..."

She spoke by the equipment to Toby and told him everything; because he was close to the place with a team of research; they got quickly in the property; Emily followed with her eyes what was happening to her wife; the paramedics and Blair did their best to keep a pulse on Alison as they took her to the hospital; Lorenzo was also bringing to the hospital for his eye.

(In the hospital of Rosewood)

Once they arrived to the ER; the doctors took Alison immediately to surgery and Emily just saw with big eyes, how, once again, the love of her life was being dragging far from her, some nurses took also her babies for a check-up, they looked healthy but they need to be checked…

All the girls were in the waiting room waiting for any news; they all stood up when Blair approached…

Blair. – "The babies are ok…"

Emily. – "And what about Ali?!"

Blair. – "She's hanging in there… she's still in surgery… she lost a lot of blood and they still can't find the bullet… it might take a while…"

Aria. – "But she will make it right?!"

Blair sighed. – "She's hanging in there… we just can wait for the best…" (Sighs) "Can I get you anything…?"

Emily gulped. – "No… thanks… I… I will go to the chapel of the hospital for a moment… so If there is any news…"

Blair. – "Don't worry… if something happen… we will tell you…"

Emily nodded with watery-eyes. – "Thank you…" (She hugged Blair) "Thank you for everything…"

*** Music background: All I need by Mat Kearney***

Emily went to the chapel to pray…

Emily was praying, crying. – "God… please… I need you… we need you…"(Cry) "Please… show up for us… pleeessee… show up for her… she needs you… please… all my life is in your hands… she's my life! I would give my life for anyone of them… for her! So please if you're listening me up there… if you've to take a life… you take me… take me… save my wife… save Ali… please…"

As Emily was in the chapel praying; her parents arrived and the girls explained them the situation; they went with the girls to the area of babies on the hospital and saw their little grandchildren by the windows of the nursery room of the hospital. After that, they were to their daughter and stood with her, praying for Alison's life. The girls went too to the chapel…

Hanna murmured. – "I don't know how this works…"

Aria replied. – "Just talk from the heart…"

Hanna took a deep breath and said looking up. – "You suck!"

Aria. – "Hanna!"

Hanna. – "What?! It's true!" (She looked up and said) "I think that with –A, we had enough! So why don't you just give us a break! Alison isn't any saint so she's useless for you up there so she's better here with us…" (She looked towards Emily and took a deep breath) "She needs her… Em… she loves her… those babies needs both of their mommies so if you're hearing me… just don't break that family!"

Aria and Hanna were talking and sat side by side as in the last bench, Blair was sitting with her head between her hands, looking down; she just looked up when she felt someone sitting beside her…

Spencer. – "You did everything that you could… to keep them safe… we did everything that it was on our hands…"

Blair sighed. – "I know…" (A tear on her face) "But she's my best friend… my only friend… I don't wanna lose her…"

Spencer grabbed Blair's hand and squeezed it; they both looked to each other into the eyes…

Spencer. – "You will not lose her… she will survive this like always… and she's not your only friend…"

Blair gave her a weak smile and said. – "Thanks…"

They stood in silence for a while until Spencer broke the silence…

Spencer. – "Some months ago… I thought that I was pregnant… I made the test… it was negative… I felt so relieve… I was so happy and my happiness hurt Toby… I saw it in his face… he was crushed… I still feel guilty of being happy and relieve of not being pregnant…"

Blair. – "You shouldn't feel guilty… you didn't do anything wrong… maybe it's not your time to have babies… but when the time comes, and you will get ready for it… it will happen and he will get it…"

Spencer smiled. – "You think that he will wait for me…?"

Blair nodded. – "He would be very stupid if not… you're someone worthy of waiting…"

Spencer chucked under the compliment and then took a deep breath as she said. – "Thanks… I really needed to get that out of my chest…"

Blair. – "Thanks to you…"

Spencer. – "For what?"

Blair. – "When Alison was in labor… when she asked me to save her babies life, even at her own life's expense… I was really terrified to screw it up… but when you looked at me and said those words… you gave me the confidence that I needed… so thanks…"

Spencer chucked. – "Well… I never thought that I could serve someone as a motivational coach but I'm glad that I could be useful…"

Blair smirked. – "Well to be a motivational coach… you're very bossy…"

Spencer. – "I wouldn't be a Hastings, if I wasn't bossy…"

Blair laughed and then Spencer laughed too; they were talking when Toby got in the chapel.

Blair stood up and waved her hands to Toby and said. – "Hey! Sit here!"

Spencer grabbed Blair's arm and murmured to her. – "What are you doing?!"

Blair smirked. – "What friends do… helping…" (Big smile) "Talk to him… you shouldn't run away from love… you should chase it… so just for one moment stop being a Hastings and be just you… Spencer… the smart girl with a huge heart…" (She patted Spencer's hand and said) "It will be ok…"

Spencer. – "What if not?!"

Blair smirked. – "Well, if not... I do have a bottle of tequila if you need to down your sorrows…"

Spencer chucked and Blair smiled; Toby approached and took the seat of Blair and sat beside Spencer. Blair just got paged by the ER and she left the chapel…

(A few hours later, in a hospital room)

Alison was slowly opening her eyes and the 1st thing that she saw made her smile…

Alison chucked. – "Why are you smiling…? I'm very sure that I look awful without make-up…"

Emily chucked and kissed the lips of her wife as she squeezed Alison's hand

Emily. – "You don't need make-up… you've a natural beauty like no one else…"

(Smiles)

Alison. – "You do know how to cheer me up…" (Smiles) "How are our kids?"

Emily. - "Beautiful… just like their mama…"

Alison smiled. – "I want to see them…"

Emily kissed Alison's front-head and said. – "Ok… wait here…"

The couple was with their 3 baby boys when the Fields and the girls approached to the frame of the room…

Pam. – "Hi Ali… how are you feeling? Can we get in?"

Alison nodded and smiled. – "I'm feeling amazing, come on get in… it looks like Emily hasn't present you formally our little boys…"

Emily chucked. – "I was waiting for you… to do it together…"

Alison smiled to her wife and everybody approached and stood around the couple and the little boys…

Aria chucked with impatience. – "So?! Come on?! I've been dying to know the names of these beautiful emison!"

Alison and Emily chucked and then they looked at each other into the eyes with a lot of love and then they looked with the same affection to their babies…

Emily announced. – "Dad, mom, girls… these are our little boys…" (She held a little boy that has the facial features as her) "This is Wayne Kenneth" (She gave it to her parents and the Fields smiled, she hold another baby and said) "This is Oliver"

Alison was keeping in her arms the 3rd boy that looked a lot as her and said with a warm smile. – "And over here… we've Enzo James…"

Pam. – "Hi boys…"

The little boys smiled and laughed seeing everybody and the girls and the Fields were trilling of happiness seeing the new addition of the family…

Emily looked to her new family and she smiled as she thought. – "All my life I was waiting, searching for something… I wasn't sure what was it but now… now I know… it was this…"

The brunette smiled of happiness and continued enjoying a beautiful moment with her family and friends…
