So originally I thought I was going to wrap this part of the story up in this chapter but I eventually realized that it's going to need another chapter. I didn't want to leave you guys hanging for too long! Hope you enjoy! -J

Chapter 11

"God Jen," Emily moaned, curled up under a blanket on the couch with her wife, the blonde still peppering her neck and chest with kisses. "You are amazing."

"Why thank you," JJ grinned against the brunette's neck. "You're not so bad yourself Gorgeous," she laughed, running her hand up and down her wife's side. "You know soon enough we're not going to get many of these moments together. Technically I think it's a miracle we're getting one now."

"That's true," Emily chuckled. "A year from now sex is probably the last thing that will be on our minds."

"Well I don't know about that," JJ argued, leaning up on her elbows so she could see Emily better. "But I doubt there will be much time for it. Our hands will be full enough."

"Somehow I think it'll be totally worth it though," Emily grinned, earning her a kiss from JJ who couldn't help but laugh.

"I agree," JJ said. "Although I'll miss these moments; the quiet….just you and me."

"We'll still get them sometimes," Emily replied, brushing JJ's hair behind her ear. "We'll make sure of it. We won't lose each other in all of this."

"I know," JJ smiled. "We'll only be stronger," she said, leaning down for another kiss, which Emily quickly deepened.

The pair were well on their way to another round when the sound of Emily's cell phone ringing interrupted.

"No," JJ moaned as Emily began blindly searching the floor for her phone.

"It could be Lex," Emily reminded her wife as the blonde sat up to allow her to move. "It is," she said before quickly picking up the call. "Lex? Olivia? What's wrong? What happened?" She listened as JJ watched with a fearful look on her face. "Okay…Okay Honey we'll be right there."

"What's wrong?" JJ asked as soon as Emily hung up the phone, the pair quickly starting to gather up their clothes. "Is she okay?"

"It's Spencer," Emily tried to flatten her hair while also pulling on her pants. "Liv wasn't really sure what…but something's wrong."

"I'll call Jessie. She said she wouldn't be far," JJ replied, pulling her shirt over her head as she grabbed her phone, both women doing their best to remain calm.

20 Minutes Earlier…

Immersed in conversation with a couple girls from her soccer team, Alex hadn't noticed the door to the bedroom closing, laughing along with her friends as they discussed their last practice and the friendly competition they had going with the boys team. It wasn't until she realized how long it had been since she left Spencer that she suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Turning towards the bedroom where she had left Spencer, Alex froze when she realized that the door was no longer open as she had left it. Not wanting to jump to conclusions, Alex quickly searched the room, her eyes landing not on Spencer but Zoey, who was watching her with a questioning look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Zoey asked, immediately coming over to talk to her friend.

"I don't know," Alex shook her head as Olivia made her way over. "I don't know where Spencer is," she said, heading for the bedroom, her friends not far behind her as she opened up the door to find Spencer lying on the bed, Zach hovering over with his shirt off. "Spencer! What are you…" She watched as Zach quickly scrambled off of Spencer, who looked like completely out of it, her shirt hanging open. "Spencer! What's wrong with her? What did you do?" She immediately ran over to her girlfriend to see that she was barely conscious. "What did you do? Did you give her something?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Zach grabbed his shirt off the floor, the friendly smile he had given her earlier no longer on his face.

"Liv call my Mom," Alex pulled her cell out of her pocket and tossed it to the blonde. "Zoey go get Alicia's parents," she tried to stay calm as she brushed the hair out of her girlfriend's face, receiving only a groan from the taller brunette. "Spencer…Spence can you hear me?"

"L…lex," Spencer's head rolled from side to side, obviously not sure where she was.

"Where do you think you're going?" Alex stood from the bed as she noticed Zach trying to slink towards the door. "I want to know what you gave her!" She raised her voice, not caring that she was drawing attention to the room.

"I didn't give her anything," Zach was quick to deny. "She came on to me and then she ended up like this," he nodded towards the bed. "Maybe she took something herself. She must have been looking for an escape from this life. From the choices she has been making."

"You're the one who has been sending me those messages aren't you?" The realization hit Alex like a train, knowing she was right as soon as the words left her mouth. "You've been trying to scare me because of Spencer. You like her."

"She doesn't know what she's missing," Zach kept his voice low, trying to scare Alex, who was not going to back down. "I was just trying to show her that she's….She deserves better than you. She doesn't…I may not be able to fix my brother but I can fix her."

"Your brother doesn't need fixing," Alex took a step closer to the boy, a fierce look on her face. "There is nothing wrong with Spencer. We're happy. You have no right…"

"You're going to lose her," Zach interrupted, trying to stand tall; trying to intimidate Alex, whose whole body was filled with anger. "She doesn't really love you. She can't."

"You're wrong," Alex shook her head, taking one step back as she balled her hand into a fist. "It's you she could never love," she said right before punching him in the face.

"Alex!" Emily spotted her daughter in the crowd outside the Knowel house, standing near the ambulance with Olivia and Zoey, tears running down their faces as the paramedics loaded Spencer into the vehicle. "Alex!"

"Mom!" Alex cried, immediately finding herself engulfed in the older brunette's arms.

"What happened?" Emily asked as JJ came up beside them, placing a hand on their daughter's back. "Is Spencer okay?"

"We believe she was drugged ma'am," one of the paramedics answered. "We'll know details once we get her to the hospital. Is anyone riding with her?"

"I have to…" Alex pulled out of Emily's arm, attempting to make her way into the ambulance but finding herself held back by her Mother's hand on her shoulder.

"We'll follow behind Lex," Emily told her, seeing the teen about to argue. "Mama will go with Spencer, Honey. She'll be okay. We'll be right behind them. Mama will go."

"Ma," Alex turned towards JJ.

"I've got her Sweet Girl," JJ placed a hand on Alex's cheek, leaning forward and kissing her forehead. "She'll be okay. I'll be with her," she said before climbing into the ambulance.

"Come on Girls," Emily ushered the other three girls towards her car, quickly getting in and following behind the ambulance. "Do you want to tell me what happened?" She eventually turned towards Alex who was staring straight ahead, holding her right hand, which looked to be hurt.

"Lucas has an older brother," Olivia was the one to finally answer, obviously unable to take the silence. "He's in student council with Spencer. I guess he…he must have liked Spencer or something but then found out that she was dating Alex," she explained, Emily continually taking glances at Alex who had yet to look away from the road. "He was the one sending Alex those messages…trying to freak her out or whatever. He got Spencer alone and he put something in her soda. We found them and he…he was…and…"

"He had his shirt off," Zoey took over, seeing that Olivia was obviously struggling to find the right words. "Spencer's shirt was like halfway open and he was on top of her but….he didn't….we got there in time."

Releasing a breath in relief, Emily once again looked to Alex who was wiping a tear off her cheek. "And your hand?" She asked, noticing the teen wasn't using her right hand, and was instead keeping it close to her body. "It looks swollen."

"I punched him," Alex finally turned her head towards her Mother, no regret in her eyes. "He told me what he did and why he did it and I punched him."

"Okay," Emily nodded, unable to reprimand the teen for doing something she probably would have done as well. "We'll get it checked out at the hospital," she said. "Where is this boy now?"

"He was with Alicia's parents and the cops," Zoey replied. "They were supposed to take him to the station. We called Spencer's parents too. They're going to meet us at the hospital."

"They're going to be angry," Alex shook her head in frustration. "They'll probably blame me. I thought it was because of me…I thought it was about me but it wasn't. It was about Spencer all along."

"It'll be okay," Emily reached out and placed her hand on her daughter's leg. "It'll be okay Honey."

The rest of the ride was silent, and when they pulled up to the hospital Emily was quick to park the car, everyone rushing out and heading for the building where they found JJ in the ER waiting room.

"They took her straight through for tests," JJ told them, opening up her arms for Alex. "They'll put her on an IV and the effects should wear off rather quickly," she ran her fingers through her daughter's hair. "She was still pretty groggy. But she's going to be okay Baby. What happened?" She had to ask, looking over Alex's head to her wife.

"Zoey and Olivia will tell you that," Emily replied. "Alex and I need to go fill out some paperwork. She needs to get her hand checked out."

"But Mom I…" Alex began to argue.

"You will be close by if anything happens," Emily interrupted, placing her hand on Alex's back and ushering her towards the reception desk. "We need to make sure nothing's broken. It's pretty swollen so I'm guessing you at least sprained something. Does it hurt?"

"Yeah sort of," Alex shrugged, looking sad.

"She's okay Lex," Emily put her arm around the teen's shoulder, knowing she was still worried. "She's going to be just fine," she kissed Alex's head. "You got there in time Honey. You did good."

Spencer's parents had arrived shortly after Emily had filled out all of Alex's paperwork, the couple looking frantic as they approached the two brunettes. Much to Alex's relief they had listened carefully as Alex explained what happened; Veronica eventually embracing Alex, grateful that she had been there to stop Zach from doing what he had planned to do.

Alex had been sent to see the doctor not long after; sitting with Emily while the Doctor made sure her hand wasn't broken.

"Well?" JJ asked as soon as Alex and Emily returned.

"She sprained her thumb," Emily answered while Alex waved her hand, which was now wrapped in a bandage. "Apparently we did not teach her how to punch properly."

"Well at least we know she put some force into it," JJ joked, kissing Alex's head as the teen took the seat next to her, automatically leaning into her side. "We'll make sure we give you some proper self-defense training. I'll teach you all the stuff Morgan has shown me."

"Thanks," Alex chuckled resting her head on JJ's shoulder and closing her eyes for a moment, just as a Doctor came out.

"Spencer Hastings?" He called, causing the entire group to get to their feet.

"We're her parents," Peter told the doctor as everyone gathered in front of him.

"I'm Dr. Spears. I attended to your daughter and I just wanted to let you know that's she's doing better," He told them. "She's still a little groggy but she's coming to. Would you like to go somewhere to talk or…" He looked around at the group gathered.

"No, no, they should all hear this," Veronica was the one to reply, surprising Alex who automatically reached out for JJ's hand.

"Well as was guessed, your daughter did have Rohypnol in her system," Dr. Spears told them. "We put her on an IV to keep her hydrated, but the only thing to do now is to wait for the rest of the effects to wear off. She may be quite tired for the next few days but there shouldn't be any lasting effects. She'll be okay. She needs to stay the night for observation but you can go back and see her now, but I would suggest only a few of you at a time. She does need her rest."

"Thank you Doctor," Peter shook the other man's hand, everyone breathing a sigh of relief as they watched the man walk away and Peter turned towards the group. "We should go back and see her."

"Alex you should come," Veronica was quick to suggest, something Alex really hadn't anticipated. "Spencer will want to see you. Perhaps the rest of you can wait until she's back home tomorrow morning?" She suggested as it was getting late.

"Tell her we love her," Zoey said, taking Olivia's hand and heading back for the chairs, both just happy to hear that their friend would be okay.

"Take your time, we'll wait out here," Emily kissed Alex's head. "We'll call the girls' parents and let them know what happened. They'll stay with us again tonight. That way you girls can go see Spencer tomorrow."

Nodding, Alex followed the Hastings towards Spencer's room, all anxious to see the teen.

"Thank you Mrs. Hastings," Alex said before they went in the room. "For letting me come see her. I don't…I need to see her."

"You saved my Daughter today Alex," Veronica replied, her eyes shining with tears she was obviously fighting to hold back. "You stopped him before he could…you…if you hadn't. You saved her."

"She's okay," Alex nodded, reaching out and taking Veronica's hand in hers.

Entering the room, the trio, was slow to approach the bed, not wanting to startle Spencer, who seemed to be sleeping rather peacefully. It was Alex who first approached the bed, leaning down and placing a kiss on the other brunette's forehead.

"Hey Pretty Girl," Alex whispered. "You're okay."

"Lex?" Spencer's voice was scratchy as her eyes squinted open. "What…what happened?"

"You were at a party Sweetheart," Veronica and Peter moved forward. "Do you remember?" She asked, waiting for her daughter to nod. "Someone put something in your drink. A boy that you were with."

"Zach," Spencer turned towards Alex, who nodded. "Did he…"

"No," Peter shook his head. "No, he didn't. Alex got there on time," he smiled at his daughter's girlfriend. "You're going to be a little out of it for a couple days, but you're going to be just fine."

Reaching for Alex's hand, Spencer met bandages. "What happened to your hand?"

"Well someone had to make sure that jerk paid for what he did to you," Alex couldn't help but grin, brushing Spencer's hair out of her face. "Apparently I need to learn to throw a proper punch though," she joked, watching as Spencer's eyes began to flutter as she struggled to stay awake. "Sleep now Spence. You're okay. We're all here. Sleep."

It was late by the time Alex, her Mothers, Olivia and Zoey returned home. The three teens all looked exhausted, drained by the events of the night, as they dragged their feet on their way inside.

"You three should get up to bed," Emily told them when they all got inside. "It has been a long night," she said, placing kisses on all three girl's head.

"Mom?" Alex grabbed Emily's hand, keeping her voice low. "Can I talk to you after?"

"I'll meet you in my room in 10," Emily nodded, watching as the girls headed upstairs before turning towards her wife, who automatically opened up her arms. "God," she sighed as JJ wrapped her arms around her waist. "What a night. I can't…I can't even believe it," she shook her head.

"I know," JJ nodded against Emily's shoulder, the couple finally taking a moment to fully absorb what had happened, what could have happened. "They're okay though. They're all okay."

"It could have been so much worse," Emily agreed, kissing the side of JJ's head. "Thank goodness he didn't get to…thank goodness Alex got there before he could."

"I'd like to give this kid a piece of my mind," JJ's voice was suddenly fierce, angry.

"You and me both," Emily replied, feeling just as angry. "I'm emailing the school first thing tomorrow morning. I want this dealt with and I want to meet with this kid. He's not getting away with this and I'm sure the Hastings won't be letting that happen either."

"No Veronica already said they'll be pressing charges," JJ told her. "He will pay for this," she said, resting her head against Emily's shoulder. "We should get up there. Alex is probably waiting."

"Yeah okay. Just one more minute," Emily replied, not quite ready to let go of her wife just yet. "What are the odds we can just keep Henry and these two little forever?"

"Pretty slim I think," JJ chuckled, taking Emily's hand and heading for the stairs.

The couple made their way upstairs, taking a moment to check in on a sleeping Henry before making their way to the master bedroom where Alex was indeed waiting for them, sitting in the middle of their bed.

"Hey Kid. You okay?" Emily asked, she and JJ each moving to opposite sides of the bed to get in beside Alex.

"Yeah I guess so," Alex shrugged, grateful when Emily pulled her into her arms. "I mean I'm still angry…I'm so, so angry," she shook her head. "But Spencer is okay and this whole mess is over. That's what's important."

"You're right that is what's important," Emily nodded, running her fingers through Alex's hair. "It's okay to be angry though. We're angry too. We're going to deal with this all on Monday. We're going to make sure this guy never has a chance to do anything like this to you two again."

The trio was silent for a few minutes, JJ taking Alex's hand in hers while Emily continued to play with the teen's hair.

"He said he was going to fix Spencer," Alex eventually broke the silence, sounding disgusted. "He said he couldn't fix his brother but he could fix Spencer. I think he's the one who needs fixing," she said, closing her eyes as she rested her head against Emily's shoulder, keeping hold of JJ's hand, obviously not planning on leaving their room for the night.

"You're right," Emily kissed Alex's head, moving so they were both lying down as JJ did the same on the teen's other side. "There is absolutely nothing wrong with you girls. Absolutely nothing."
