Intro:
Love hurts.
I've come to realize this over my 27 odd years of existence. Love at times can be a wonderful uplifting thing, and others it can tear you apart piece by piece until there's nothing left.
Emily gave up on foolish ideas of love long ago. But she only ever truly loved one man Daniel Grayson, along with his love he gave her one of the most precious gifts ever. What if Emily really was pregnant?

"You see even long before the devious engagement party, I knew your future with Daniel was as empty as that box."
Victoria Grayson was a myriad count of things. Cunning, beautiful, damaged. But never in her life would she have believed herself to be a, grandmother. So when the news of Emily's fake spawn was shown the light of day she was in so many words hopelessly elated.
The last thing the queen of the Hamptons needed was to be deemed grandmother. But she now knew Emily Thorne was many, many things but pregnant she was not.
That woman had lied and cheated her way into the Grayson's good graces. Charlotte, Daniel, and even Conrad had been won over by her constant charm. But Victoria had never been fooled.
Emily being shot was just the worlds way of paying Victoria back for all of the good she had done the world. Her putting up with that evil woman being number one on her moral list. Other things like trying to get rid of Lydia and accepting Patrick without judgment were quite small trivial things. But Emily Thorne, oh Emily she was the small bride and groom topper on the top of Victoria's wedding cake of karma.
When Mrs. Victoria Grayson felt that the time was right to visit her quite unlucky daughter-in-law she put on her favorite Hervé Léger dress, and her new Louboutins and her best queen of the Hamptons face and strolled over there, in a limo, to which she didn't drive.
This fact truly showing the epitome of her power in money.
Victoria wouldn't ever hide the fact that she truly despised Emily Grayson –nee Thorne, but in order to keep up appearances of the fact that she in fact did not shoot the bitch she needed to make this visit.
Victoria had been putting off this visit since the police had revealed the fact that she could visit. Emily Thorne made the beautiful aging skin on Victoria's body crawl as if it was trying to release all of the hate that the woman felt for her new in-law.
That spiteful bitch had taken the only thing Victoria had ever truly loved. Daniel meant the world to her, and as soon as Emily came into the picture he had changed. He became distant from the rest of the family, and began to take ultimate responsibility for his actions.
That woman was an evil force that needed to be stopped.
So when Victoria walked in on the two newlyweds in a near lovers embrace her strong gag reflexes went to an all-time low. They looked so happy and…in love, Victoria hated it. Even with Emily in a constant state of ignorant bliss, it seemed as if they still remembered each other.
When she heard the moan escape Emily's mouth she barged in.
"Well, I hope I'm not interrupting anything." When Victoria says this Daniel hurriedly untangles himself from his despicable partner.
"Hello Emily, I hope you remember me. I'm your mother in-law, Victoria Grayson."
"I'm sorry," Emily says in response her big brown eyes widening in curiosity "I don't remember you all that well, but you are Daniels mother right?"
"Well of course I am who else could I be?" said Victoria, the fake tone in her voice was more alive than a young spirit.
"Nobody," says Emily shaking her head "It's nice to meet you Victoria."
Daniel had been sitting on the edge of Emily's bed staying quiet while they exchanged very few words. Suddenly he felt it was time to speak up.
"Mom, can we talk?" his voice had the hidden tone inside of it that none of the women in the room could truly identify.
"Of course my dear, let's go out in the hall, shall we?" then she turned to look at Emily "Lovely seeing you Emily."
As she said this the hate she handled for the other women not only crawled off of her skin but it oozed out of her voice, and into the air around them. Causing a simple electricity to stun the emotions of all in the small space of the hospital room.
Out in the hall Victoria simply waited for her son to speak. She tapped her heel and her finger pads against the pieces of the stiff hospital chair to which she sat.
Daniel simply stared into an unknown space, not speaking, not really doing much of anything.
Victoria made the first move "On with it Daniel, I don't have all day and coming to see your vindictive wife has taken a lot out of me currently."
Daniels eyes travelled up to meet his mothers, his gaze showed compound emotions as it most often did. "Emily is pregnant."
"We both know that isn't true Daniel, let's not live in false realties." Victoria rolled her eyes and flipped her raven colored hair over her left shoulder. "You told me yourself that you found out the truth, and you quickly came inside after overhearing us."
"I'm the one who shot her mom. I shot my wife." A single tear slipped down the newlywed Grayson's cheek, his collective resolve overtly failing.
"Daniel, that's enough. Stop talking nonsense."
"I almost killed her and our baby, after she was honest with me. She never lied, and I almost murdered her!"
"Daniel keep your voice down." She whispered the edge in her tone coming out very clearly. "I guess it's time."
"Time for what?" Daniel held, the worry creasing his eyebrows, he began to twist his wedding ring again.
"Time for the new Mrs. Grayson to come home."
Since my amnesia became an eminent piece of my life, I had been keen to waking up in strange environments and seeing strange people all around me.
So when I opened my eyes the next morning to a strange room with strange people all around me my eyes adjusted automatically.
This bed was much comfier than the one in my hospital room. With soft sheets and a downy blanket all around me one thought came to mind "Was this heaven?"
The baby inside of me kicked as if a reminder that this was not heaven, if it was I would be able to see it's face.
"Oh good," I heard from a voice in the distance "Your awake."
"Where am I?" I ask the same fear I experienced at first waking up in my hospital room coming to light once again.
"Well your home of course." I hear a voice say, Victoria my new mother-in-law to be exact.
I glance round my home with not a very keen sense of familiarity.
"Where?" I hold my abdomen a measure I've become accustomed to since fully discovering my pregnancy. A source of protection for the both of us.
"Grayson Manor." Says Victoria the smirk showing on her face and in her voice. I am fully aware of the fact that this woman hates me.
My gaze travels over the room I'm in, I hear the two separate heartbeats on the machine, and I feel the soft sheets underneath me. There is memory foam pillows underneath my head, and an open window to my right blowing in the ocean breeze.
But this wasn't home or a nice room to rest in.
I soon found out that no, this was not in fact heaven, and it was most definitely hell.
You guys are awesome! Thanks you for all of the reviews, follows, and favorites.
I know this was a short chapter but I have tons more in store for the Graysons- nee Thornes.
Love,
Madame Grayson.
