Spencer's pov
The door to our apartment slammed shut, and I was now left alone with Jason. "Well that went better than expected" Jason are you serious right now? "No of course not, I new there was a chance she would be angry, but I figured she'd be more pissed if I didn't tell her. She will come around when she calms down, at lest I think she will" your right she will, but for now she could be anywhere, I'll try Emily. I pulled out my phone texting Emily knowing that Ali would be back in rosewood by now. I didn't want to make her worried if Ali wasn't with her so I simply just text Is Ali with you? Jason and I spent a good 15 minutes waiting for a reply and I relaxed when she did.
Yes Ali is with me and she's okay I can't talk - Emily
Jason she's at Emily's house. "Okay well that's a good thing right"? Yeah Emily won't let her do anything stupid. How early were you planing on going tomorrow? "First thing, I figure the sooner we can do this we can get some answers, and make a mends with Ali". Well you can crash here if you want, I mean the couch isn't much but it will save you a pointless drive back to rosewood. "I will spencer thanks" your welcome I'll be up first thing, goodnight Jason. "goodnight spencer, don't stress out to much Ali will forgive us before you know it". I smiled as I hit out the lights, I hope your right Jason, I hope your right. The next morning Jason and I were up as early as possible, both of us skipping breakfast because of the nerves. During our car ride back to Rosewood we actually got to know each other better and it was safe to say that I could trust him. Pulling up outside of rosewood prison, I could feel my palms sweeting. I followed Jason inside and we walked towards the counter, and Jason asked to see Kenneth Dilarentis. "I'm sorry who?" The lady at the desk questioned him. Kenneth Dilarentis, "oh sorry dear, your just the first visitors he's had". I'm not surprised, Jason States as the lady grabs a set of keys off the hook and leads the way. There were police guards on Stand bye at every door we walked passed, and when there was only one see through glass door separating us Jason spoke up. "Spencer wait hear okay, I want to go in alone first, it's better that way. I don't want to startle him, if he sees someone he doesn't know he might not be so willing to talk. "Remember you can see him but he can't see you, I will signal when you can enter". I Nodded taking a seat on a empty stool by the glass window, and nervously picked at a loos string on my sweater.
Jason's pov
I was a nervous reck the moment I entered the prison, but I had to stay strong for spencer. If I was a nervous reck, she must be going crazy. Opening the glass door I steeped into the room and saw my father behind bars. He was lying down on a thin green camper stretcher, in a Grey sweat shirt and orange pants. His hands had been handcuff, at lest while I was there and I took a seat on one of the two cream coloured chairs. I only seamed to get his attention when I sat down. He sat up in shock to see me. "Jason, what are you doing here? I thought I'd never see you". Yeah well dad don't get excited. He moved to the edge of the bed and noticed me staring at his hands. "A guard came in 5 minutes ago and handcuffed me, I thought maybe they were changing me into another cell but he said I had a visitor. It's been 182 days, I thought by now my chances of seeing anyone let alone family was gone". Well don't push your luck dad you have 10 minutes. Jason look I'm sorry okay, please know that" No dad I don't think you are were you out of your mind? How could you do that to her For 7 years? your sick and I hate you for it. "Jason I understand okay I do but..." No dad you listen, please tell me did it make you feel good to see her hurting? did it make you feel better about yourself knowing that she was scared to be around you? I lost all respect and admiration I had for you the minute I found out what you had done. As far as I'm concerned you didn't just loss a daughter dad, you also lost a son. I watched as he took in my words his face pail and full of regret, but he wasn't crying and I new that if he was truly sorry he should me crying. I came here for two reasons today, and two reasons only, to make sure you know that your actions effected everyone you new, especially Mum and Alison, but there is also someone I'd like you to meet. when you do, you will let her talk, and if she cries or if she yells, than so be it you owe her that much, and If you so much as do anything to scare her away I will not hesitate to press further charges and keep you in here for longer. My father weekly nodded and I turned in my seat to face spencer before signalling for her to enter the room.
Spencer's pov
I sat down next to Jason and he introduced me. Dad this is spencer... your daughter, his eyes widen and then he looked between me and Jason a few times. "she... She can't be". I spoke up actually I am, Ali's lawyer, I know you know who she is, and she happens to also be my mother. "she what"? You heard me, I suppose you thought when you decided to rape my mother 19 years ago, one of your other selfish acts you would get away with it. well guess what you didn't because I was born, and I wanted you to know that. The only reason my mother never press charges was because the doctors told her after her first child that they did think it would be possible for her to have another one, so when she feel pregnant with me... well you can see what happen next . "How old are you"? I'm 18 and just so you know, you may be my biological Dad, but you will never be my father. I've met Ali, and the only good thing to have ever come from you, is her and Jason. I love her, and I hate you for not wanting her because I think she is worth having in my life, and I wish I had met her sooner. You know when my parents told me, I kind of hoped I'd be lucky enough to have two dad's, that it would explain why me and my dad are so different, but honestly after what you did i don't want to know you, I don't want to see you and I definitely will never forgive you. I came today because of Ali, and as far as I'm concerned, if you didn't want her as a daughter your sure as he'll not having me. I realised I had been crying and wiped my eyes on my sleeve. Jason squeezed my shoulder and we stood up to leave. As I made my way to the door he looked at me pleadingly. "I'm sorry you feel that way, maybe one day I will make it up to you, all of you including Alison". Jason and I both looked at each other and shook our heads, saying nothing as the door closed behind us. The car ride home was dead silent, neither of us daring to talk and when he dropped me home all I got was a small wave goodbye. you could have cut the tension with a knife.
Alison's pov
After spending the night at Emily's, she convinced me to go back home to Spencer's. Entering the house I realised I was the only one home, and Heading up to my room I realised there was no use just waiting for her to get back, and decided to minimise my pile of holiday homework. It was nearing 1pm when I finally heard someone else get home and when they began walking up stairs, I new it was her. My door was not completely closed but it was closed enough that you couldn't see me, and Spencer knocked on the door, "Ali are you home? Can I... can we talk"?. I told her to come in and she nervously sat down on the end of the bed. "Look I just wanted to apologise for last night" spencer you don't need to apologise, I do I get it ok you wanted to meet him. "Your right I did want to meet him, but that wasn't the main reason I decided to go". "I went because of you, I wanted him to know that we have met and that I will never forgive him for what he did". "Ali when I talked to him today I told him that he may biologically be my dad, but he will never be my father, the only good thing that has come from him is you and Jason". "I told him that despite the fact he chose to do horrible things to you, and chose not to love or want you that I do, that from the moment we met I new you were worth having in my life, and that I could grow to love you, and I have Ali so much so I hope that me going to visit him today doesn't change what we have between us because that would really, really suck". "Jason loves you to you know, he's just to proud of himself to admit it". I wasn't in the room for most of their conversation, but from what I heard it wasn't pleasant". " We are both on your side of this Ali, and we always will be because that's what a real family does". Half way through spencer's explanation she stood up, and started pacing. when she was finally done talking she stood in my door way and I wiped my eyes, as I watched her do the same. The both of us had been crying. Without hesitating I stood up and made my way over to her and wrapped her in a hug, something she loves and she hugged me back. For the first time, I let her, I let her hold me in a way I always pictured a big sister would, and even though we are less than 6 months apart I know that I will always look up to her for so many different thing. Spencer is my second favourite brunette in my life, and today proves she is here to stay. I moved my head so that I could look at her before speaking. I love you too spencer, I can't believe you did that for me. "Ali I did it for the both of us". I smiled thank you spencer, I do forgive you I forgave you the moment I left last night and had a chance to calm down. I just didn't want to admit it to myself.

on Christmas Eve, Ali called me exited to say that her and spencer had worked things out, and that spencer was actually doing her a favour by visiting him. Spencer and Ali decided to invite Hanna, Aria, Jenna, Paige and I to there new apartment to go to the local carols and have a girls night. When I arrived, Ali kissed me at the door before smiling brightly and taking my hand in her own. we walk down the street to the carols and the seven of us had such a good time. Ali laughed at me for knowing all the word, and When we got back the girls set up their sleeping bags in the lounge. I smiled at Ali when we didn't have to, and at 10 minutes to 12 we headed to Ali's new room to cuddle in her new bed. "You know Em I'm glad you brought this bed" so am I babe, I told you we would both use it. Ali smiled as she lifted her head and moved herself closer towards me. "Merry Christmas Emmy I love you" Merry Christmas beautiful I love you.
Hanna's pov
Aria and I had crashed at Ali's last night, with the rest of the girl, and When I woke up Christmas morning Emily was in the kitchen. Merry Christmas Emily how are you this morning? "Morning Hanna merry Christmas, I made coffee. I'm great bye the way I'm just going to go wake up Ali I'll be back". Emily left which gave me a change to slide into Aria's sleeping bag and cuddle with her. Her tinny body must have felt me getting in, because she was more than happy to roll into me and cuddle. I could see outside from where we were lying and when it started to snow I was so happy. Babe wake up, it's snowing. I watched as Aria smiled when I kissed her check. "Mmm I'm awake Han, just five more minutes". She reached for my hand and I let her hold it as she lay there resting, but when the others around us started to wake, we all headed into the kitchen to have coffee.

Walking back into Ali's room with a cup of coffee for her, I placed it on the ground. I climbed back into bed this time half on top of her, prepping her with kisses. Merry Christmas beautiful, you need to wake up. Ali started moving underneath me and when she smiled with her eyes close I continued to kiss her. Babe today is my favourite day of the year, and I don't want to miss a minute of it. Ali's eyes open and I smiled when I looked into them, getting lost in the colour blue. she blushed and turned her head away but I was quick to turn it back towards me. Hey, I wasn't done with the kisses yet, I leaned into her capturing her bottom lip before she could escape, and I was met with a moan. when we parted I lay down next to her on my side, with my head in my palm content on just watching her. "You are seriously like a little kid Em", I know some things never change. "I'm glad your like this though, it will only make my day better". Good now let's go, I'm pretty sure I heard Hanna saying something about snow! Your coffee is next to the bed. Ali smiled brightly at me, "Go have fun I'll be 2 minutes"

Today for Christmas I was going to be joining Emily and her family, I told them that the Hastings had invited me too, and that if they just wanted family time that I would understand but the three of them practically begged me. Hanna and Hanna's mum, had invited Aria, Mike, and Ella to join them and I new Hanna was excited about having lunch for more than two people, and Jason called this morning and told me he would drop by spencer's place on his way home from a friends tonight. When we arrived at Emily's, there were a lot of people I didn't know, but Emily kept a tight hold on my hand and did her best to introduce me. I meet her grandparents, and her aunty and uncle along with her three cousins. they were all younger than her and they all liked to follow her around. In the living room everyone exchanged presents, and Emily talked to her cousin about what Santa brought them. It was nice to know that one day if I was lucky enough, I would be a permeant member of the fields family. Everyone was so nice and excepting, and I felt like I belonged. Emily and I decided to wait until her family had left to do presents, and went up stairs to her room so we were alone. I decided to go first as I was dying to know if she would like it. Emily sat on her bed, and I walked over with to neatly wrapped boxes. These are for you Emmy, I didn't know what to get you so I hope this is okay. I kissed her on the check and I watched as she eagerly unwrapped them like a kid. When she pulled out the first present her eyes lit up and her smile grew 10 times bigger. "Ail it's perfect, how did you think of something like this"? She questions as she held a delicate tree decoration in her hand. It was red her favourite colour and in silver glitter it read Ali + Em Christmas 2014. I'm glad you like it, I saw a lady making them at a market I went to with spencer and I thought It would be perfect for you. I know it's only our first Christmas together, but I'm hopeful that there will be many more to come Em, and if there are I thought I could start a tradition. When she pulled out a small key form the second box she looked at me confused. I had the key cut in red so she would remember which one it was. It's a key to mine and spencer apartment, I wanted you to have one when you come an visit from Stanford. Emily had the key in her palm and I gently closed her fingers around it before lifting her hand to kiss it. Merry Christmas Em.

After opening Ali's gift for me, it was my turn and I started off with the smallest one. when Ali opened it she laughed. I guess we think alike because I too had given Ali a key but in pink. The key is to the dorm Paige and I will be sharing in Stanford, and don't worry babe we only get one spare key, but Paige even said you could have it. Ali smiled and her eyebrows raised. "Are you sure she's okay with that, she hates me". Hey she doesn't hate you, think of it as her making an effort. Besides now we both have a key to each other's place, and I for one couldn't think of anything better. Ali climbed on my lap and straddled my waisted before kissing me softly on the lips, it was short because I pulled away ignoring her pout. Wait there is one more, I handed her the last present and she smiled up at me when she saw what it was. This took me forever to decided on, but I new I wanted to get the right one. I decided to by Ali a journal and writing kit, she's forever writing and when I found one with a picture of Paris on it I new it was meant for her. "Emily it's perfect I love it thank you" your welcome babe, Now can we please go back down stairs? I want to hang this up on the tree so everyone can see it. "Sure Em we can do that" great and one more thing I want to go for a walk with you in the snow. Ali smiled "for you I'd pretty much do anything, and considering you love Christmas yes we can go for a walk". Yay thanks babe, I say as I grab my jacket and head down stairs. Ali soon follows me and when she's ready to go, the two of us head outside in the cold happily wrapped up in each other.
