Chapter 78 – The Perfect day

*** Emily's narrative ***

The best gifts in the world are not in the material objects we can buy from the store, but in the memories we make with the people we love...

(In the DiLaurentis-Fields house)

Alison was counting with the eyes closed . - "One... two..."

The blonde got out of the hospital some days ago, she's ready to resume her day-to-day routine with work and everything but, she has decided to take some time off in order to spend more time with her family. Jason was still around, so he offert to take care of the office and, Alison was grateful for that. She was playing hide-and-seek with her family and, Alison smiles a lot, hearing the bubbly chuckles of her little boys around her...

Alison. - "Are you ready?"

Emily says while she looks for a place to hide. - "No..."

Alison teases. - "Come on Em, don't overthink it too much, you know I'll find you 1st, like always..."

The blonde wasn't lying, she has this 6th sense to always find the brunette, no matter what. Emily doesn't know where to hide till her little boy, Enzo, grabs her hand and guides her to his favorite hideout. The brunette hides with her little boy while Wayne & Oliver were rushing towards the curtains of the living room. Wayne was leading and Oliver was trying to keep pace with him but, he falls. Little Wayne immediatly spins towards his brother and helps him to stand up...

Oliver sobs with watery-eyes. - "Pain..."

Wayne softly pats Oliver's head and, enchants. - "Ollie, pain, pain, fly away!"

Oliver rubs her watery-eyes with his little arm and babbles. - "The pain flew away... thanks..."

Little Wayne gives him his biggest smile and, Oliver feels already better; holding hands, they hide behind the curtains, just in time since Alison opens her eyes...

Alison. - "Are you ready...?"

Without a reply, Alison stands from the chair and starts walking...

Alison. - "I'm coming now, ok?"

The blonde says while she looks around the house. - "C'mon... where are you? Where could you be...?"

Alison enters in the kitchen, she hears some noises coming from the pantry storage and, with a huge smirk on her face, the blonde walks on tip-toes, trying to don't make any noise... trying to not reveal her presence for whoever it's inside...

Alison says while she opens the door of the pantry room. - "Gotcha!" (She frowns) "Are you eating chocolate while you hide...?"

Emily was sitting on the floor, cross legged with Enzo in her lap; both gasp surprised when they see the blonde, Alison caught them in the act, eating chocolates which they found inside the pantry storage. The blonde crosses her arms above her chest and gazes towards them with a disapproval look on her face. The brunette tries to hide the empty wraps of chocolate behind her when Alison says...

Alison. - "You're eating chocolate before dinner!"

Emily mumbles. - "No..."

Alison smirks and points out at their faces. - "Don't lie to me mermaid, you two have chocolate all over your mouths!"

Emily and Enzo look at each other, and they giggle when they see the stains of chocolate on their lips...

Emily kisses Enzo's cheeck and says while she dives him into her arms. - "This is your favorite hideout because of the chocolate, isn't it, sweetheart?"

Enzo giggles and nods...

Alison. - "Em, stop kissing him, you're spoting his face with all the chocolate of your lips..."

Emily and Enzo giggle, looking at their messy faces with lots of stain of chocolate...

Alison dramatically rolls her eyes and says while she walks away. - "You two go to the bathroom and clean your faces, now!"

Emily & Enzo nods and follow Alison's command; Alison resume her search for the other two boys. The curtains didn't touch the floor, there was a gap between the end of the curtains and the floor, so when the blonde emerges in the living room, she smirks a lot when she sees little feet showing up behind the curtains...

Alison opens the curtains and says. - "Gotcha!"

The two little boys bubbly chuckle and, they propel themselves through the air with open arms and, Alison happily catch them; the blonde falls on the carpet of the living room, with Wayne and Oliver into her arms...

Alison says while she fills their faces with many kisses. - "I found you!"

The boys chuckle and, someone else emerges into the living room...

Emily pouts. - "We want kisses too..."

With the face clean, Enzo gets off Emily's arms and, rushes towards the blonde and his brothers. Emily joins them too and, the entire family is over Alison. They play around for a while and then, Alison leaves them since she has to prepare the dinner.

Emily. - "Do you need any help?"

The brunette was going to walk towards the kitchen, to offer a hand and help to prepare dinner but, she's stopped by 3 little boys. The 3 boys grip on Emily's t-shirt and say at the unison...

The boys pout. - "Play with us, mommy..."

Emily picks them up and says while she hugs them. - "Awww! Off couse, I'll play with you!"

Emily says very loud, trying to make Alison to hear her. - "I'm sorry, I can't help you with the dinner this time, the boys want to play with me..."

Alison replies very loud from the kitchen. - "It's ok Em!" (She smirks with a lower voice) "You're plenty of help when you're not in the kitchen..."

Emily. - "Hey! I heard you!"

Alison chuckles and keeps cooking for her family; she loved to cook for her family, it was like a natural talent and, in question of minutes, everthing is ready...

Alison says very loud when she settles the table. - "Dinner is ready..."

Maybe the blonde said it too loud since someone else appears in that precise moment...

(Knocks on the door)

Alison frowns. - "Are we expecting visitors...?"

Emily says while she walks towards the front door. - "I don't think so..."

Alison says to the boys. - "C'mon, lets wash your hands to eat dinner..."

Wayne and Oliver follows the blonde but, Enzo follows Emily; the brunette picks up Enzo and holds him; when she opens the door, she dramatically rolls her eyes...

Emily. - "Hanna! Just in time for dinner... again..." (She shakes her head) "I don't know how your timing is always right when it's about food..."

Hanna smirks. - "What I can say?! It's a gift..." (She steps inside and says) "Don't close the door, Caleb is getting Hayley from the car..."

Caleb approches with the little girl on his arms. - "It's ok if..."

Emily waves her arms. - "Off course, c'mon, Ali always makes lots of food..."

Alison emerges to receive them and smirks. - "Off course I always cook big meals, we never know when Hanna will appear..."

Everybody chuckle and, the couple put more plates on the table. Alison was waving a plate between her hands, thinking about something, and Emily notices it...

Emily. - "Something wrong?"

Alison. - "I was thinking that Blair is still in the hospital and, Spencer is alone and..."

Emily smiles, reading Alison's mind...

Emily says while she types on her phone. - "I'll invite Spencer to dinner with us too..."

Alison smiles and kisses Emily's cheek. - "Thank you..."

Emily kisses her back and says. - "No, thank you for cooking for us..."

In the end, they invite Aria, Jason and Noel too and, without planning it, they get ready for a big dinner with friends & family...

Emily says while she opens the door. - "Ar... is it just you tonight?"

Aria sadly nods and, looking at her sad face, Emily decides to don't make any question of why Erza is not coming with her tonight, she just hugs her tight and welcome her to her home. Everyone arrives and sit to eat. Laughs and happy voices fill the house. And, Alison takes a moment to savor the moment; the blonde feels a squeezes in her hands and her smile gets bigger when she looks at the person who's at her side...

Emily. - "A penny for your thoughts?"

Alison chuckles and leans her head over Emily's shoulder. - "I just... I never thought I would see my house like this..."

Emily. - "What do you mean?"

Alison. - "For a moment I recalled my childhood, and I remember how cold was the house at that time since I always got dinner alone..."

Emily hugs Alison, trying to comfort her from those sad times...

Alison chuckles. - "Don't worry Em, I'm ok... I'm ok now because I've this huge family..."

The brunette puts lots of kisses on Alison's head and, the blonde chuckles with so much affection...

Hanna teases with the mout fill of food. - "Em, Stop smothering Ali with kisses!"

Spencer smirks. - "And you, stop talking with food on your mouth!" (She says while she cleans the table with a napkin) "You're spitting out food!"

Hanna rolls her eyes. - "Geez, you're already acting like a mom..."

Spencer. - "And you keep acting like a kid..." (She pinches Hayley's cheek and says to the little baby) "I hope you don't get the refined manners of your mom..."

Hanna pouts. - "Hey!"

Everybody laugh and, they keep eating and talking. Hayley was still very little so, she was on Caleb's arm, drinking her bottle; the boys on other hand, they were sitting in their highchairs and, Emily was happily helping her boys to eat...

Emily says while she puts a spoon, filled with soup, in Oliver's mouth. - "It's very sweet and yummy this carrot's cream soup, isn't boys?"

The boys nod and smile; Wayne loved so much the soup that he throw away the spoon, grabs the bowl and devours it all without using the spoon...

Alison chuckles. - "Wayne! Manners!"

The little boy finishes his soup and he has soup all over his face; his brothers chuckle when they see him covert with soup...

Alison chuckles and says while she cleans his face. - "My little caveman..."

Wayne chuckles and, the dinner continue. In time of the dessert, the talk gets more serious...

Alison. - "So Hann... any news of Mona?"

Hanna sighs hard. - "There'll be a trial so... I don't know..."

Aria sees the sad look of Hanna and hugs her...

Spencer. - "She saved our lives, so if I can help in anything... I'm here..."

Emily & Alison look at each other and then they look at Hanna and says...

Emison. - "You can count on us too..."

Hanna smiles seeing that her friends are there for her & Mona...

Hanna. - "Thank you, guys..."

Aria drinks her coffee and, someone notices that there's no engagement ring on her finger...

Spencer asks. - "Where is your ring?"

Aria panics and, she hides her hands under the table; she doesn't want to talk about her issues with Erza and, how Erza is taking care of Nicole in NY; she doesn't want to talk about that and someone reads her mind...

Noel changes the subject. - "Don't worry about Aria's ring, why don't you just focus on putting a ring on Blair..." (Big smirk) "A little bird told me that you might have competition..."

Spencer groans and rolls her eyes; Alison just laughs with Spencer's reaction. Spencer looks at Alison and, she knows who was this little bird...

Spencer. - "What did you tell him...?"

Alison chuckles and Emily raises an eye-brow...

Emily. - "Ali...?"

Alison recalls the last time that she went visiting her BFF and says. - "Well..."

*** Flashback ***

In the hospital, Alison was distracted while she was walking that she couldn't avoid collide with someone...

Spencer snaps. - "Hey! Whatch out where you're going!" (She sees it's Alison and says with a calmer voice) "Oh it's you..."

Alison smirks. - "So tell me Spencer, how are those swings mood treating you...?"

Spencer squints her eyes to Alison and, the blonde does the same, just to irritate even more a moody brunette...

Spencer. - "What are you doing here?"

Alison shows a bag of donuts and says. - "I came to see Blair, I brought her this for breakfast..." (She gets closer and whispers in Spencer's ear) "The meals in the hospital suck..."

Spencer chuckles and nods. - "Yeah, I know..." (She says with a cocky voice) "But I'm one step ahead you and, I brought her a 'real' breakfast... not just donuts..."

Alison smirks. - "A sandwich...? You call that a 'real meal'?!"

Spencer nods with pride since she made it by herself and the blonde just tries her best to don't laugh. They walk towards Blair's room; Spencer looks at her tupperware and smiles a lot, it's just a sandwich but she made it with lots of love and, she can't wait to see the face of the young doctor when she will give her the sandwich. They were stepping in Blair's hospital room when Alison dared to eat a donut but before she could put it inside her mouth, the donut drops from her fingers while she sees so many nurses inside Blair's room...

Spencer groans with jealousy. - "What the hell?!"

A nurse. - "Dr. Sloan, I baked these french madelaines for you and I got you a latte..."

Blair smiles. - "Oh, thank you..." (She bites the fluffy muffin and says) "Uhmm... so yummy! Thanks!"

Another nurse says while she massages Blair's shoulders. - "Are you feeling better Dr. Sloan...?"

Blair says with a pleasant smile. - "Yes..."

Another nurse says. - "What I can do for you Dr. Sloan...?"

Blair says with a goofy smile. - "I... I don't know what to say, all thsi attention is a little overwhelmed, you don't have to do so much for me..."

The nurses replies with love emanating from their eyes. - "We just love you too much, Dr. Sloan... you're the kindest doctor around here..."

Blair chuckles and blushes. - "Oh, stop it..."

The nurses keep flattering Blair and, Spencer's face gets red of anger...

Alison mumbles. - "I knew she was popular with the nurses but I never thought that it was at this level..."

Spencer groans angry and says while she walks away. - "Ughrrr... I'm gonna get sick..."

*** End of the flashback ***

Alison laughs. - "It was hilarious..."

Spencer groans. - "It was disgusting..." (She says with a mocking pitch) "Dr. Sloan I baked this for you... Dr. Sloan I'll massage your body, Dr Sloan... ughrr...! Those nurses are very irritating!"

Everyone in the table chuckle, and, eventually, Spencer chuckles too. They start talking about something else; no one mentions again the topic of Aria's ring and, Aria leans a little to her right and whispers to Noel...

Aria. - "Thank you..."

Noel smiles and nods, he's intrigued to know why Aria is not wearing her ring but, he can tell that the little brunette is not ready to talk about it, so he don't ask about it either. Time flies and, everybody leaves; Aria's car didn't turn on and, at her rescue two guys offer her, a ride home...

Jason. - "I can drive you home in my car..."

Aria blushes. - "Oh, ahmm..."

Noel. - "You don't need to offer, her place its in my way home, so it's better if she goes with me..."

Noel & Jason look at each other with challenging looks...

Emily. - "Oh boy..."

Hanna smirks. - "Oh, this will be fun..."

Aria doesn't know how to reply and, thankfully, one of her friends comes to the rescue...

Spencer. - "You can stay with me tonight, Ar if..."

Aria rushes towards Spencer and says. - "Yes, thank you!" (She waves her hand to the other boys and says) "Thank you, both of you, for the offer but I'll stay with Spencer tonight... bye..."

Both brunette walks towards the house next door and, Noel as well as Jason just sighs hard, looking at the little brunette running away from them. Everybody leaves and, once again, it's just Emison's family in the house...

Emily says while she was helping Alison doing the dishes. - "Something was off with Aria tonight..."

Alison washes a plate and gives it to Emily while she nods. - "Yeah..."

Emily grabs the clean plate and dries it with a dishcloth. - "Should we...?"

Alison shakes her head. - "No... let's no push her to talk till she's ready to open up with us..." (She kisses Emily's cheek and says) "She will tell us what is coming on in her life when she's ready..."

Emily nods and they keep cleaning up everything. After cleaning everything, Emily takes a shower while Alision is supposed to put the boys in bed. The brunette gets out of the shower, with a lusty look, she walks inside her bedroom, just with the towel around her naked body, Emily was more than ready to throw the towel on the floor and gets some action tonight but, her lusty plans get frustrated again because of 3 little boys...

Emily sighs. - "Ali... they should be in bed..."

Alison teases. - "They're in bed... with me..."

The blonde was sitting in bed, with the 3 boys around her...

Emily. - "No, they should be in their beds..." (She waves her hands and says) "Come on boys, it's bed time..."

The boys pout, they were very comfy with Alison. They missed so much Alison when she wasn't around, so since she's back; they don't want to leave Alison's side, not even for bed time...

Emily raises an eye-brow. - "Don't look at me like that, this isn't your bed..." (She waves her hands and says) "Come on boys, go to yours beds.."

Wayne pouts with the arms crossed. - "No..."

Little Wayne ignores Emily's order and hugs Alison, reluctant to leave her side. Since he has always been the leader between the 3 boys; what Wayne does, the other two follow... and in the end the 3 boys grip on Alison, don't wanting to leave her side...

Emily. - "Boys!"

Alison. - "Em, let them stay tonight here with us, again..."

Emily. - "But they've been sleeping here since you got out of the hospital!"

Alison. - "And? What is the problem with that...?"

The boys make puppy eyes...

Emily. - "Making a cute face doesn't make it ok..."

The brunette pouts, sexually frustrated and, reading Emily's mind, the blonde says...

Alison teases. - "Em, don't tell me that..."

Emily waves her hands and says with frustration. - "Well, yeah! You read my mind! I want some time alone with you! We haven't..." (She doesn't dare to say the word in front of her boys) "You know..."

Alison chuckles...

Emily says while she puts on her pajamas. - "Don't laugh, Ali!"

The brunette gets in bed with all the family and, Alison kisses her...

Alison. - "Don't go to bed angry, Em... they're just kids..."

Emily pouts. - "I'm not angry, I'm just..."

Alison teases. - "Horny..."

Emily gasps in shock and says while she covers the ears of the boys. - "Ali! Don't use that word in front of them?!"

Alison. - "Come on, it's not like if I said se..."

Emily. - "Don't! We will not say the..." (She spells) "S... E... X... word in front of them or any word like that..."

Alison chuckles and kisses. - "Fine, but in that case you better control your hormones, since it's you the one who is very, very..." (She spells) "H - O - R - N - Y..."

Emily blushes, she shakes her head and, turns off the lights while she gives a good-night kiss to all her family. The brunette wasn't sure if she could sleep fine tonight since her plans of tonight didn't go like she expected but, when Enzo hugs her and falls asleep into her arms; the brunette forgets about her own desires and, just closes her eyes with a happy smile. Because after all, she got a perfect day, with her lovely family...

*** Emily's narrative ***
