Chapter One

"I'm so sorry Miss DiLaurentis, the mistake is our-"

"You fucking bet it's your mistake! You incompetent idiot!"

"Miss DiLaurentis please, we have to let the donor know what happened before you make any decisions-"

"Fuck you-"

"Alison!" Her best friend scolded.

"Fine. For fuck sake, fine. I won't do anything but you better be fucking quick getting hold of the donor."

Emily's eye started to open and she stretched out in her big bed. She loved the morning sunshine that came through her window. It warmed her skin and dried the sand on her toes. Perhaps it was because of that little vitamin D boost that she was always in a good mood. Her Mom always called her a 'little ray of sunshine' because of her ever pleasant demeanour.

She pulled herself out of bed and moved over to the window, watching the waves of the ocean and thinking about how grateful she was to have an apartment so close to the water. She hadn't grown up here, in Florida, she was born in Rosewood but she'd actually grown up in Texas. Her father was in the army and they'd lived in the family quarters of a base camp with other families in the same situation.

She'd really enjoyed their little oasis. Just her and her Mom most of the time in their quiet little life. She'd met one of her best friends at the base camp. Emily had know Jon Kahn all her life, his family coming from Rosewood too, their fathers growing up together and they'd never not been friends. They'd been through it all together and felt more like sibling than best friends.

Emily chuckled to herself, thinking about the one falling out the pair had in their long friendship. It was over a girl, Jon's girlfriend at the time, Danielle Taylor. Jon and Dani hadn't been together for very long when one night Emily and Dani had stayed up talking, realising that they both had an attraction towards females - they'd decided to experiment. Jon hadn't taken it well at all when he saw them in bed together that morning. He'd sworn that he'd never talk to Emily ever again but he came around in the end. Jon decided it was actually quite hot and that train of thought had earnt him a punch on the arm from Emily that he was proud of. In the end he was happy that two girls he cared about had figured themselves out.

Emily and Dani decided not to pursue a relationship and the three of them became best friends, their parents always referring to them as 'the three musketeers'. They'd all attended the same university. Emily studying sports science and as far she could tell Jon and Dani just chased after girls. When they graduated there was no question that they'd end up together. So they'd pulled their resources and bought a bar on the beach in Jupiter. It was old and rusty and hadn't been used in a long time but it was a place to call home.

After a couple of years they were doing well for themselves, they weren't rich but they were happy and comfortable. The bar had done pretty well and they'd managed to invest and do it up. They all shared the apartment above the bar. Dani had taken up surfing while Emily was always the swimmer.

Emily pulled on some sweat pants, making her way down to the bar where she found Dani laying on the old green couch. Emily rolled her eyes when she noticed the wet rash guard and bikini bottoms the blonde was sporting, "Do you always have to surf before the sun comes up?"

"It calms me," Dani smirked at her friend, "Hey grab me one of those!"

Emily grabbed another gatorade from the fridge, throwing it to Dani, "Did Jon come back?" She plonked heavily onto the couch next to her friend.

"No," Dani wiggled her eyebrows, "Think he got lucky last night?"

"By now he's just lucky if he hasn't caught something," Emily snickered.

"Like you can talk," Dani smirked.

"Hey!" Emily frowned, "There's no one who's as big of a whore as Jon!"

"Talking about me again Fields?"

The girls turned to see Jon coming through the door, a lazy smile gracing his face.

"Hey jackass," Emily chuckled.

"And how are my beautiful ladies this morning," Jon sat next to Dani, wrapping and arm around the blondes shoulders, giving her a look, "Whoa, beautiful lady and Dani."

"Hey-"

Their bickering was interrupted by Emily's phone ringing.

"Hello?" She answered, still laughing slightly.

"So what did you do last night?" Dani asked, turning to Jon, "Or who?"

Jon smirked, "Wouldn't you like to know but babe you know I don't kiss and tell."

Dani made a puking sound when she received a wink, "You're disgusting, I can't believe I was ever into you."

"You're just mad that you couldn't handle me, took one look at my big cock and ran-"

"Or took one look at your small prick and it turned me gay, I should start telling your conquests that you know," Dani narrowed her eyes.

"I thought it was Emily that turned you gay? I don't blame you either, Em is fine as-"

"Shush!" Dani snapped, grabbing Jon's face and turning him to look at Emily who had just gotten off the phone. Her face was pale, her eyes wide and her mouth hanging open. She looked as if she'd just seen a ghost.

"Em?" Dani shot up, placing a comforting hand on her friends back.

"What's going on?" Jon asked.

"I..I-" Emily trailed off, her mouth moving but nothing coming out.

"Who was it Em?"

"Is your Mom okay?"

"She's...fine," Emily swallowed thickly, "You know I sent my eggs to a clinic...you know for that experiment?"

Her friends nodded.

"That was the fertility clinic-"

"So did it work?"

"It's not that," Emily looked down at her shoes, taking a deep breath before looking back up at her friends, "Something happened...there was a mistake."
