"Why would Emily want to go back to you in the first place?" Hannah all but shouted as she walked over towards Alison and Nick.

"Because I am the only one that ever loved her." Alison stated, matter of factly.

"Your idea of love, is complete bullshit Alison." Aria said before anyone else could retort.

"Oh, please. I treated her the way she deserved." Alison said.

"You treated me horribly." Everyone turned to see Emily standing at Paige's door, glaring at the blonde girl. "You lied, manipulated and cheated on me. I know about the guy you slept with two days before we left for the beach. He came to me about a week after I was at Spencer's and told me. He actually felt bad. You never felt bad, about anything. That isn't love. It took me a year and a half and someone special to figure that out. So no, I would never want to get back with you. And you." Emily turned and directed her next comments towards Nick McCullers. "That girl in there, your daughter, all she ever wanted to do was please you. She had worked her ass off for you, and how do you repay her? You undermined her confidence and gave her performance enhancing drugs. Now, thanks to you, she is in there fighting for her life. She told me all about your deal, and how you pushed her to take the drugs, practically blackmailing her. You have ruined her shot. I don't know how you can live with yourself. I've only known her a few days and I already think she is the best person I have ever met. You can do whatever you want to ruin my career, I don't care. Your daughter means more to me than that. Unlike you two, I'm going to show her what real love is." Emily turned and walked back into Paige's room, leaving Alison and Nick standing with their mouths hanging open.

"If I were you, Nick, I would start looking for a very good lawyer." Spencer said to the man.

"And Alison, I would just leave town now before you get too settled in." Hannah said, the three girls forming a wall between the two and Paige's door. Nick and Alison both turned and walked down the hallway out of sight. The three girls made themselves comfortable in the lounge beside Paige's room, none of them wanting to leave for the night. The next morning Emily was woken by movements beside her. Her eyes flew open fearing that Alison or Nick were in the room, but it was just Paige's nurse checking her vitals.

"Good morning. I am Susan, I will be checking in on her today. The doctor ordered her pain medicine to be lowered today so she can be more alert, and hopefully she will be able to tell us how she is feeling as soon as she wakes.

"Thank you." Emily said to the woman before she left the room to check on her other patients, letting Emily know she would be back within an hour to see Paige.

"Someone special, huh?" Emily turned to see Spencer in the doorway.

"Shut up." Emily said as she crawled out of the bed from Paige to go brush her teeth.

"I have waited a long time for you to say something like that to Alison." Spencer said with a smirk on her face. "And it took you long enough to find someone special."

"I really do care for her Spence." Emily admitted.

"I know you do babe." Spencer said as she pulled Emily into a hug. "And I think she is a keeper." Spencer whispered into her ear.

"Emily?" Came a voice from the other room pulling Emily away from Spencer.

"Hey." Emily said as she made her way to the side of the bed. "Spencer, go tell the nurse that she is up. They lowered your medicine so you would be more alert today, but don't hesitate to tell them if you are hurting, ok?" Paige nodded her head, pulling at her oxygen mask again. "Lets keep this on until the nurse comes in." Emily said as she adjusted the mask so it was directly over Paige's mouth again.

"And, how is Paige feeling today?" The nurse asked as she entered the room a few moments later, puling off Paige's oxygen mask and turning the machine off.

"A little short of breath." Paige said to the woman, never taking her eyes off of Emily as the girl stepped back to give the nurse room.

"We will keep the oxygen here at your side for right now, if that feeling is too strong and you actually have trouble breathing, don't hesitate to put it back on. Now, lets see how you feel if we lift the bed up so you can sit." The nurse moved the bed so that Paige was sitting up for the first time since leaving the house two days ago. "How does that feel?"

"Good. My back was getting a little sore." Paige said as she tried to wiggle and adjust to the new position.

"That is to be expected. Now, who will be taking care of you for the next few weeks?" The nurse asked.

"Me." Emily spoke and stepped closer to the bed before Paige could say anything.

"Ok, good. Now she can go home tomorrow if there is no excitement today." The nurse turned and winked at Paige, causing the girl to laugh at her. "But, she will need to take it extremely easy. No jogging, running, swimming. No stairs. No physical activity, meaning sex. Nothing that can get her blood pressure too high. We don't need you back here having another heart attack before the medicine has been given time to work. You can basically go home and sit. Watch some Tv. Nothing too exciting for the first few days."

"Oh what joy that will be." Paige mumbled out.

"I will be back in a few to see how we are still doing." Susan left the two girls alone.

"Now I really am on house arrest." Paige said looking at Emily with a light pout on her lips.

"Home." Emily said.

"What?" Paige asked.

"She said you get to go home, and sit. I like the sound of that. You coming home." Emily said as she took one of Paige's hands in hers.

"Are we moving too fast?" Paige asked, causing Emily to slip a little. "No, that I think were moving too fast. I have waited too long for someone like you, I am not about to just let that slow build." Paige said with a small laugh. Without thinking Emily dove in so that her lips were on Paige's, her tongue swiping across the girls lower lip, her mouth opening to grant Emily entrance. A moan from Paige and a loud beep from behind them broke the girls apart.

"I said no physical activity. Making out would count." Susan said from behind the girls. "Ms. Fields, I would hate to have to remove you." She laughed.

"That would kill me." Paige joked making Emily go stiff beside her. "Hey."

"I just got you." Emily said as she ran her hand down the side of Paige's face, cupping her chin. "And I don't even want to joke about how this could have gone wrong."

"Ok, no more death jokes." Paige said as she pulled the girl down beside her. "Lets just lay here for awhile until I go to sleep. Then, I need you to go home and rest some too."

"No. I'm not leaving until you do too." Emily protested before Paige raised her finger to her lips. "I need you to get me some sweats while you are there to go home in. You can get a nap and a shower, because you stink." Emily stuck her tongue out at her. "And you need to eat."

"I'm supposed to take care of you." Emily said as she settled Paige's bed back and layed down beside her.

"Well, now we can take care of each other." Paige said as she closed her eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Emily did as she was told and made her way to the waiting room to get the girls. Spencer offered to stay with Paige while Emily went home, which made Emily feel better about leaving Paige at the hospital. When she got home she layed down in her bed tossed and turned. After about twenty minutes Emily got out of her bed and made her way to Paige's room, laying down on the girls pillow and inhaling her scent. This helped Emily fall asleep for a good two hours. In that time Aria and Hannah had managed to move Emily's bed fittings down to the room Aria was sleeping in, and moved Aria's stuff to Emily's room. When Emily got up she made her way to the shower and changed into comfortable clothes to spend the night with Paige again, grabbing sweats, a sports bra and underwear for the girl too. With a bag packed they all climbed back into Aria's car and made their way to the hospital.

A/N: A few more chapters left in this and then one or two left of Secod Chances. THEN I will start back into the Awakening stories, since I know a lot of people are wanting that. I just wanted to get these stories done and out of the way so I could focus solely on my baby. which is the Awakening stories. As always, reviews help the process move along smoothly, and they are much appreciated!
