Ok I know, I have been gone for so fucking long, I am deeply sorry. My life has been the biggest L ever. But I'm starting to feel better and good enough to write again. So I hopefully will be able to write and update soon. So please don't give up on me. I almost gave up on the development of this story. I don't know why I even rewrote the first two chapters posted the first one just to realize that I really like how this was turning out. Anyway, here is chapter three, I hope you guys like it. Please review.
Alicia rolled over in Will's bed when she awoke that morning. She smiled as she saw her lover lying next to her, snoring softly. She loved watching him sleep, it was blissful to her. She also knew that he did the same thing when she was sleep so it was sort of pay back for her. She wanted to stay in that position for the rest of her life but she knew that she needed to get ready for work. She was so glad that she had brought over some clothes to wear so she didn't have to go home.
After a quick shower Alicia walked into the kitchen to find something to eat before she got dressed and went to work. She was so glad that she made him go shopping the last time she was here, she hated trying to cook with ramen and ham. It wasn't the healthiest of breakfasts that she had. While it did make her think of her Georgetown days when the two of them would survive off ramen and chips until she finally went to the store and actually bought them something edible.
Alicia was pulling out eggs when the front door the Will's apartment opened. Alicia quickly turned around and grabbed her toilet tightly. She feared that someone might me robbing the apartment. That was until she heard a woman's voice calling out for Will. She froze, more confused than before. She walked out of the kitchen to come face to face with a young blonde woman with bags and a guitar strapped to her back.
"Oh, well hello then. I was looking for Will Gardner, this is his apartment yes?" Alicia was taken back by the woman, she was so confused on who she was and what she was doing there. She could be a serious ex, she was really beautiful. But something about her seemed familiar.
"Yes this is his place, who are you?"
"I guess I should be asking you the same thing." The woman said with a smile. If she was an ex she didn't seem too mad about Will with another woman. Just as Alicia was going to answer her question, Will came out of his room wearing nothing but his boxers, thankfully.
"Hey hun, where did you go? I was hoping that we could have some fun before... Aubrey what are you doing here?" At least Will was as shocked as she was to see her.
"What a girl can't visit her brother in his time of need?" Alicia turned a bright red. She had no idea that this was his sister. And here she was getting all defensive about random women coming into her boyfriend's apartment.
"This is your sister?" Alicia asked, still visibly embarrassed. Will smiled and started scratching his head.
"Well I guess you get your wish now."
"What wish?"
"That my family know about you." Aubrey stood dumbfounded. She had no idea that her brother had a girlfriend, and that they were living together.
"Well luckily it was me that saw you and not Sara, I don't think that she would have approved." She smiled as she saw the couple realize that both of them were in compromised attire. Alicia's eyes widened and ran to the other room to get dressed. Will sighed as he saw his sister try to hide her laughter.
"Does that mean that Sara is coming too?" Aubrey smiled and shook her head yes.
"She'll be here in about an hour. She'll be waiting for you at the gate." Will looked at her bags and then back at her.
"How long do you plan on staying? And why are you here anyway?" Aubrey lugged her bags over to Will's couch and dropped them there.
"Well I came as soon as I heard that you got fired, and I thought that I'd come and help you get back on your feet. So as long as that takes." Will started rubbing his forehead, he knew that she would be here a while.
"I didn't get fired first of, I'm on suspension. And I've been on suspension for nearly two months, how is this the first time that you are hearing about this huh?"
"Mom only told us a few days ago. I wonder why that was?" Will did vaguely remember forgetting to call his mom until last week informing her of his situation.
"Fine, but I am fine. As you can see, I already have someone to take care of me so you guys can go." Will said as he started grabbing his sister's things.
"What you don't want your sisters here with you?"
"I can deal with you but Sara will just boss me around the entire time. I don't have time for that."
"What else do you have to do?" Aubrey said with her arms crossed as she watched her brother stop walking to the door with her things. She watched as his arms dropped and his head leaned back.
"Ok you guys can stay. But if Sara touches one of my books, you both have to go." He threatened as he turned around. Aubrey started smiling at her brother's defeat.
"I'll go put this in the guest bedroom. You two will have to share a room."
"It's not like we haven't in the past." She shouted as she watched her brother disappear in the back rooms.
Alicia finally emerged from the room to find Will's sister sitting on Will's couch opening her guitar case. She smiled as walked up to her and pulled out her hand to shake Aubrey's
"Hi, I'm sorry for the way that I was dressed earlier. My name is Alicia Florrick. It's nice to meet you, Will has told me so much about you."
"That's funny because I have not heard anything about you." Aubrey said as she shook her hand, suddenly realizing how rude she had just been.
"I'm sorry, I sound like my sister. I just mean that this is a surprise." Alicia realized how big of a shock this could be, she was here to surprise her brother and then all of a sudden there is this woman naked in his apartment. It could be a shock, she surely would be surprised if she walked into Owen's and there was a naked woman there, for obvious reasons.
"It's ok, it's partially me fault, I didn't want anyone knowing that we were together." Now Alicia realized how rude she was being.
"No it's not that I don't want anyone knowing that I'm dating Will, it's just.. Do you know who I am?" Aubrey wasn't liking the way that things were turning out., At first she was happy that Will was dating someone, and around his age. But she didn't seem to stable for him.
"No, should I?"
"Oh, I'm sorry I'm just used to everyone knowing who I am. My ex-husband was Peter Florrick." And then it clicked.
"Oh the guy that slept with Hookers!" Alicia again started to get embarrassed.
"I'm sorry that was rude, I only know about it because Will mentioned him once and. Whatever, I don't care that he was your ex-husband. I'm just glad that Will found someone. Welcome to the family Alicia." Aubrey got up and hugged Alicia as soon as Will ran out. He must have heard Aubrey shout hookers because he was half dressed when he came out.
"Aubrey what did you do? And I thought that I only had to deal with Sara.
"Nothing I was just welcoming Alicia to the family."
"I told her about Peter." Alicia said when she realized that he didn't believe her.
"Yeah tell her Will, I don't care about her ex-husband sleeping with hookers." Will gave her the look, telling her it was time for her to shut up.
"Aubrey how about we don't talk about the hookers ok?"
"Oh yeah, I'm sorry." Aubrey apologized, sometimes she forgets her place.
"Um, I have to head over to work. I'll see you soon I guess?"
"Why don't you come with us to dinner tonight, you could meet Sara?" Aubrey asked and all of the blood rushed from Will's face. It was bad enough that they had to stay but to have all of them together would be a disaster. But he remembered how reluctant Alicia was about leaving work that she knew that she would say no.
"Sure, I would love to. Maybe I could make a better first impression with your sister than with you." Alicia smiled and Will was sure to have a heart attack.
"This wasn't so bad. I met one of Will's girlfriends while they were in the middle of having sex while he was in college. Another one almost hit me when she saw me in his place in pajamas. So not the worse, but definitely top ten." Both of the women started laughing while Will stood struck. Alicia kissed Wil's cheek before grabbing her purse and leaving. Will immediately started staring at his sister as soon as Alicia left.
"What?"
"Where do you come off grilling my girlfriend?" Aubrey started smiling.
"You have a girlfriend." Will started rolling his eyes.
"Oh shut up. Let's go get Sara."
〰〰〰
"So William, why do you look so grim if you are fine?" Sara had been grilling him since she got out of baggage claim. Asking him what he has been up to and how he'd been eating. If he was sleeping or exercising anymore. He felt like his mom was there rather than his sister.
"He's worried about tonight." Aubrey chimed in as she ate her pancakes. Will had taken them to a dinner near his house for breakfast since there was barely anything in his place for him.
"Oh, what's going on tonight William?" Sara asked wickedly as she ate her fruit while Will tried to look at anything but his sisters.
"He's taking us to dinner, with his girlfriend." Sara looked at her brother shocked, she barely heard about Will's love life these days. She was afraid he was turning into a spinster. Or he was just screwing anything that moved. She really didn't like either of the two options.
"Oh really, who is she. Better question, how old is she?" Sara was almost certain that the girl, who in fact was probably a girl could be no older than 22. She knew that her brother liked them young, even if she found it disgusting.
"No, she's not like the other ones, she's around his age. And she's divorced, to get this. Peter Florrick." Now that was something new that she wasn't expecting. At this point Will wanted to kill himself.
"Is this true, are you dating Alicia Florrick. The ex of the hooker fucker?" Will could not believe what his sister was saying, he wanted to kill her.
"Can you not call her that and yes. Also how do you know who she is?"
"Please Will, I follow when you enter the news, and that was big new. You taking in Alicia Florrick in her time of need. Wait how long have you two been dating?" Will was confused at where she had been going with this.
"Eight months or so, I don't know. It started on a whim and we had been on and off for a while."
"OMG, Will you were her mistress. She cheated on her husband with you didn't she?" Sara exclaimed loudly.
"Yes Sara, say it louder, I'm sure they didn't hear you in Winnipeg." Both of his sisters looked at each other before staring their brother down.
"What? And when did you start following Alicia?"
"She's everywhere, how could I not?"
"Oh wow, I think I like her even more now." Aubrey said as she smiled. Will only shook his head, he knew that this would be a very long evening.
"Oh shut up Aubrey. Will I can't believe you. Is this why you haven't been with anyone in months, because you have been with her?"
"Actually it's been two years since I've been with anyone. And yes it was because of her. I've been in love with her since I met her are you happy?" Both of his sisters looked at him and started smiling.
"Will's in love!" They started singing. Will started to get up but Aubrey blocked his path.
"I will not sit here and be subject to this scrutiny."
"Oh shut up, we're just teasing you."
"Yeah you won't die of embarrassment will you?"
"I think I just might." Aubrey elbowed him and his yelped and rubbed his side.
"I feel like you guys only came here to torture me."
"Yes because that is what we do. We wait until you are vulnerable and attack."
"Basically yeah."
"No William, we don't." Sara said as she started eating her strawberries.
"It sure feels like it. But if you have been following me and Alicia so closely, we have you just came now?" Now it was Sara's turn to be embarrassed.
"I didn't see your firing until when mom told me. I don't know why, literally a day afterwards I saw it."
"Mhmm." Will didn't completely believe her but he knew how much it killed her say that she was wrong and that she should have done better. He was ok with her coming now anyway, he probably would have died if they came earlier.
"Anyway, what are we going to do until dinner?" Aubrey said trying to get the awkwardness out of the air.
"We could go see the sights, get Will out of the house?"
"Sure, I would like that." Said Sara as she continued to eat her fruit. Will only sighed, he knew that again it would be a long day.
〰〰〰
The trio arrived at the restaurant that Aubrey suggested around 8. Alicia said that she had some paper work to finish and would be a little late. Will had hoped that it meant that she wouldn't be able to make it, but twenty minutes later, Alicia arrived.
"I'm sorry that I'm late, I had some client paper work to finish before I left for the weekend. Hi, I'm Alicia, you must be Sara?" Alicia shook Sara's hand before sitting down across from Will. Sara smiled and shook Alicia's hand.
"Yes we have heard so much in the past few hours about you. You work with Will I hear."
"Yes I do, he actually hired me when no one else would. I owe him everything."
"I hope that's not why you are with him." Sara said under her breath as she drunk her glass of wine. Alicia tried to brush it off, she knew that she was only looking out for her little brother. She would have done the same thing if it was Owen.
"No what me and Will have is more than some office fling, no matter what anyone thinks. I love him and there is nothing that will change that." Will couldn't help but smile and grab her hand. Aubrey looked at the couple with bright eyes while Sara didn't look so pleased.
"So how did the two of you meet?" Sara said as the waiter came over.
"Are you guys ready to order?" The table ordered quickly, all ordering different things.
"So." Sara said after the waiter left.
"Oh, yes. Well it depends on which time you are talking about." Will's sisters looked at Will.
"You met her before you brought her to work with you?"
"Yes, he didn't tell you?"
"It must have slipped my mind." Will said trying to cover his ass, but horribly failing at it.
"Oh did you?"
"Well we first met in Georgetown. We were in a lot of the same classes."
"Oh really, and we never heard about you until now? Will only told us about this one girl that he was in love with when he was there. He even dumped his girlfriend at the time just so he could say that he was free. But they never got together and Will never told us why. He never brought her by either, do you know who she is?" Sara spat out, but quickly yelped after her statement.
"Aubrey what?" Alicia started smiling, she never knew how much he loved her and that he went through all of that trouble just to be with her.
"I think she kicked you because I do know who you are talking about and I believe that it is me. Right Will?" Will wanted to run to hills at this moment, but just calmly nodded to Alicia's question.
"I told you that I had been in love with her since I met her."
"Now I really like her, and I usually don't like any of Will's girlfriends." Alicia couldn't help but laugh at Aubrey.
"Well I definitely am glad at that."
"Now have you two embarrassed me enough today?" Will said as he finished his scotch and ordered another one.
"Nope." Came Aubrey.
"We're just getting started."
"Well I don't mind the interrogation, it makes me feel like on the other side of the bench, it's kind of fun."
"Oh don't say that, it'll mean that this night won't ever end." Will warned as he waited for his drink.
"Oh I'm ready, Owen is home with the kids so I'm free all night."
"Oh you have children." Aubrey asked genuinely curious.
"Yes I have two a girl and a boy."
"How old?"
"14 and 16."
"Teenagers."
"Yup, but I love them, no matter how much of a hassle they can be." Alicia laughed at all of the hijinks the kids have and get her into.
"They really are amazing kids." Sara turned her attention to her brother.
"You've met them?"
"Of course, we have been dating for a while now."
"Oh I didn't know how things worked between the two of you."
"Well I was a bit hesitant but the kids knew that I was dating Will before I did really. They love him actually and love having him around."
"Will a dad? I would have never guessed." Sara said, and something about it just sounded right to Alicia. Will a dad, it fit perfectly with her. But she on the other hand had no idea how he felt about it. Will on the other hand was more than thrilled to be called dad, but he had no idea if they were ready for it.
"Some things catch you by surprise." Alicia smiles at Will, calming all of his fears.
"That's good."
The rest of the dinner went by with his sisters telling embarrassing stories about his ex's and childhood. The table was full of laughter and smiles most of the night. They ended up staying until the kitchen closed. Forcing everyone to their cars. Will walked Alicia to her car while he gave his sisters his car keys.
"This was one hell of a night huh?" Will said when they reached Alicia's car.
"Yeah but I liked it, they're really funny."
"Yeah when they are talking about me."
"You know I don't think that I have ever seen you blush this much in my life."
"Just wait until you meet my mother." Alicia smiled and moved closer to Will, wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Does that mean that I get to meet your mother?" Will smiled at her and kissed her forehead.
"I'll think about it." Alicia let go of his waist and hit his chest.
"You ass." They both started laughing until Will engulfed her lips with his mouth and pulled her close.
"You get home ok?" Will said after he let her go. Alicia smiled and shook her head yes before getting in her car. When she did Will knocked on the car window. Alicia rolled down the window to hear her.
"How about you come over this weekend ok. Get harassed a little more?"
"I'll see. I really haven't seen the kids in a while and was hoping to make up for that."
"if you want me to join, I am more than willing. Anything to get away from these two." Alicia smiled and kissed him through the window.
"I'll think about it." Will only nodded and allowed her to pull out of her parking space. Will watched her drive away and went to go find his sisters. They were sitting in the car waiting for him.
"Now, will you promise to go home now that you have met her."
"Yup, I love her, she's hilarious." Aubrey said as they started to pull off.
"She has too much baggage, I think she dangerous."
"Well I think that is up to me to decide Sara. And I love her, that is all that matters. I thought that you would be happy that I finally found someone."
"I am but could you have found someone without them cheating on her husband."
"She's divorced now and he wasn't a saint, it's not like he was saint nick. She only cheated because she couldn't be with him anymore. Besides she got divorce as soon as we got together. Well she tried to, and that is why she cheated. It's not what you think. You met her you think that she is that kind of woman?"
"I think that anyone can turn out to be anyone. I'm just saying it had to be her."
"Oh come one Sara, he's been in love with her since law school. Let him be."
"Exactly and yes it has to be her, and that's the end of it." Will was happy that his sister listened to him and let it go. He wasn't sure how much longer he could take of it. It didn't matter what his sister said He loved Alicia and that was the woman that he chooses to be with. There was no other for him and he hope to never have to even look at anyone else. Things were just getting good and he hoped to not have to deal with any more problems. Even though he knew, this wasn't the end.
What do you guys think of it so far? Tell me in the comments please.
