Wow sorry guys. It's been so long. I apologize that there is so much time in between my last post and this one. School is my top priority right now. I also have extra curricular activities and I lose a lot of time doing that. With that apology, please enjoy this next chapter.

Spencer opened her eyes to the blinding white light. She squeezed them shut immediately so that she could slowly adjust her eyes to the brightness. She fumbled her hands around and only found that there was a darker hand holding hers.

Emily was asleep with her head against Spencer's left leg holding her hand tightly as ever. When Spencer tried to move she was quickly helped up when Emily stirred awake and realized what was happening.

"Hey baby, how are you feeling?" Emily asked with a concerned look on her face.

"Hi, everything hurts. I'm confused. My head is pounding and my stomach feels like someone performed amateur surgery on it." Spencer said weakly, with an even raspier voice than normal.

"Do you want me to get the doctor really quick so he can check up on you, and give you some morphine?"

"Is that a trick question? Of course I don't want you to go, but I kind of need you to, or else I might just end up throwing myself out the window to ease the pain." Spencer giggled, but immediately quit and turned even paler do to the excruciating pain she was enduring within, and near her abdomen.

"Spence, take it easy. I'll be right back" Emily kissed her on the forehead and left to return with a doctor.

"Ah, Miss Hastings, I see you have opened your eyes. How are you feeling?" The man asked.

"Umm, well, my hea

d and stomach hurt, but other than the excruciating pain from that i'm okay." Spencer snapped back a little bit. Emily was by her side in a split second to hold Spencer's hand so she could be there for her girlfriend and provide all of the support she could give.

"Hey Spence it's okay, calm down" Emily stated when she heard the monitor beep a little faster. Realizing it was Spencer that was having a pre panic attack.

"No it's not Emily, I can't even remember what happened, or how long I've been in here." Spencer was crying now.

"I can answer those things, and then some if I could have a moment of your time." The doctor cut in.

"Sorry Doctor, could you just give her something for the pain, and give us a minute?"

"Absolutely I understand that this is a confusing moment. Let a nurse know when you have finished and I'll be back as soon as I can." The doctor said while pushing a needle into an opening in Spencer's drip bag that Emily guessed was morphine.

After the doctor left...

"Alright pretty girl, talk to me" Emily said, taking Spencer's hand and holding it up to her face and kissing it softly.

With tears in her eyes Spencer replied with "I don't know Em, that's the thing, i'm so confused. What happened? The last thing I remember was my dad walking in and telling me to go upstairs"

"Well what had happened was, your father found out about us when we went to tell the girls, and he heard you as he walked told you to go upstairs and you made it up one step before I saw you fall to the ground. You scared me so much Spence. Don't you ever do that again" Emily was teary eyed along with Spencer now.

"I won't.I promise." The promise was sealed with a kiss starting off innocent, very quickly turning passionate and more needy. They only stopped when they heard a huff come from the doorway indicating that the doctor had come back to check on Spencer, and inform her of the medically issues she had been presented to the hospital with.

Shortly after, Spencer's parents walked in, and Veronica sat in the chair next to Spencer. Her father pacing the room in front of the bed.

She couldn't take it anymore so she asked her dad to talk and go ahead and get used to it, because she loved Emily more than anything in the world, and nothing would change her mind"

Like always, he threw a pissy fit and her mother seemed to not mind the blunt way of her coming out. She figured her mother already knew.

The doctor came in a little while later and while Emily sat in the waiting room with the girls, he told Spencer she could leave in the morning. She looked at the clock on the wall. It was nine at night. Great she thought, if she went to sleep then the morning could get here faster and she could fit in some much needed rest.

When Emily returned she kissed her goodnight and drifted off to sleep around ten thirty. Emily fell asleep in the chair. She called her mother to let her know what happened, and it was a mutual decision to let Emily stay and keep Spencer company. Of course she left out the part that she and Spencer are going steady, but thought that was a topic of conversation best saved for when Spencer was feeling better and whenever she felt like dealing with her overly protective mother.

It was eleven forty-five in the morning and Spencer woke up about an hour ago and her doctor came in and told her the precautions and how to clean her wounds. The come in if you notice anything strange or if you have questions was thrown in there too.

She was ready to get out of the place that smelled of life and death. NOW. she had had enough of her narcissistic father, and wanted to bury her head into her own pillow, in her own bed.

It was Sunday so Emily was able to stay the day and help Spencer get settled at home.

when they got back to the Hastings residence Spencer was escorted by Emily to her bedroom.

As soon as they hit the first step Spencer's father put in his two cents, and with a stern voice told Emily she was not allowed to go to Spencer's room without permission from and he made it very clear that that would not be anytime soon.

So she let go of Spencer's side, kissed her temple, and went to walk away as Spencer struggled to get up the steps without help due to the pain that still lingered, and the medicine that was coursing through her veins.

Veronica stepped in this time, raising her voice at Peter, and telling Emily to help her daughter get up to bed.

EmiLy didn't have to ask twice to bolt to Spencer's side, who had only made it up a few steps on her own.

When they made it upstairs, Emily helped Spencer change into her pajamas and get into bed. Since it was the middle of the day she offered to get some food for Spencer but she still felt a little off due to the medicine. So, she brought back some soup for Spencer and a couple slices of pizza for herself.

Matter about three hours of watching movies and cuddling Emily looked at the clock. It was around seven o'clock and she decided that it would be best if she went home. She got up and kissed Spencer goodnight not without a fight from the brunette. She got in her car and drove home. She sat in her car for a little bit contemplating if she was ready to tell her mother about she and Spencer. She walked in and she saw Pam sitting in the living room and came up behind her and kissed her on the cheek.

"Hey Emmy supper is just about done" Pam said.

"I'll just head upstairs and get ready for dinner and I'll be down in a minute." Emily walked up the steps quickly and as soon as she got to her room she shut her door so she could think. This was it. she thought. Now was the time to tell her mother. It seemed as if everyone but her knew. Emily walked back down to the kitchen after washing up. She saw her mother preparing a plate for her. When her mother turned around she quickly blurted out "Spencer and I are seeing each other" and her moms eyes got big.

There it is guys! I'm so sorry it took so long to post this update. What do you think will happen next? Leave a review and tell me what you think. Some of you have given me some pretty good ideas for when things get back to normal. Until next time.
