After Jordan left, Hanna felt consumed with guilt. She felt terrible for letting Jordan down and that she was still lying to him. She felt even worse when she thought about what happened to Emily. She had poked the bear, so to speak, when she tried to trick Sarah/A/whoever with that fake hard drive and Emily paid the price.

Hanna still hoped there was some way she could fix this for Emily, she knew how much Emily was hurting and she needed to make it up to her somehow. She knew that Spencer and Aria had found a secret basement entrance under Sarah Harvey's room at The Radley and maybe, just maybe, Emily's eggs were just being held hostage and not already destroyed. If she could get to them, she could return them to Emily and ease her pain.

Hanna quickly raced over to The Radley. She was glad she had made a copy of her mom's master key when she had "borrowed" them to erase the initial footage. It would help her gain access to the places of Radley that no one used or saw anymore. She knew she had to be careful because if she was caught it would raise a lot more questions for both her and her mom. It was risky, but she couldn't let Emily down again if there was something that Hanna could do to help her.

She quietly entered through one of the side exits and made her way to the back of hotel. She knew there was a locked door that had a sign that no one, including hotel staff, was to enter beyond that point. She figured that was where she needed to start.

When she got to the door, she was thankful that the master key worked. She quickly slipped in and locked the door behind her. She turned the flashlight on her phone and saw the stairs leading down to the basement just to her left. She quickly, but careful, began making her way as far down as she could go.

The basement had several different hallways and corridors, but she thought she heard a noise from one off to the right, so she headed that way. Hanna was scared, but felt exhilarated that she might catch Sarah/A/whoever in the act and actually be able to recover Emily's missing eggs.

Hanna followed the sound of the other person's footsteps in the dark, not wanting to alert them to her presence. Her eyes were starting to adjust to the darkness when she came up behind a tall figure in a dark hoodie. She instantly felt a chill go through her body. She had thought her PTSD from what happened to them was long gone, but seeing that hooded figure brought some of those old feelings back.

She refused to let fear take over though. Instead, she thought of what this person had done to Emily and she felt anger rise up in her and she charged at the figure, pushing them back towards the brick wall.

"Owww!" A familiar voice cried out as Hanna slammed them against the wall, effectively pinning them against it.

Hanna struggled to keep the figure pinned against the wall, but when she finally reached for her phone to provide light, so she could finally see who this hidden menace was; she quickly realized it was Emily.

"Em?! What are you doing here?" Hanna shouted in surprise still pressing her against the wall.

"I'm looking for my eggs. Spencer and Aria told me about Sarah's secret ladder to the basement and I just thought that maybe…" Emily responded as she trailed off. Now that the initial pain of being slammed against the wall was gone, she became distracted by the feeling of Hanna's body still pressed against hers.

"Wait…what are you doing here?" Emily finished as she regained her composure, trying to ignore the position they were in.

"Same thing...I just feel so bad that this happened to you because of me." Hanna quietly confessed, as she looked down into the darkness, avoiding Emily's eyes. "I was hoping to find a way to fix this mess I made. I never wanted you to get hurt."

"Hanna…this isn't your fault. Bullies don't need an excuse. Knowing our luck, whoever this new monster is has probably been planning it since the moment I decided to do it. I don't blame you Hanna, please don't blame yourself." Emily responded as she reached her hand up to turn Hanna's face back towards hers. She needed Hanna to know she wasn't responsible. After everything they had been through, it still killed Emily to see Hanna in any kind of pain.

"Still…I feel bad and I want to help." Hanna said before clearing her throat, realizing that she still had Emily pressed against the wall. "Um, let's keep looking, maybe they are still down here." Hanna offered, finally taking a step backwards, a little flustered.

The two girls broke apart from the wall and each other, but kept close in the darkness as they began exploring other parts of the basement. They kept their flashlights off, now that their eyes had adjusted. It was safer, in case they weren't alone.

As they made their way through one of the final hallways, a loud crashing sound echoed around them. The sound frightened both girls, causing Emily to cling to Hanna, in fear. Hanna instinctually wrapped her arms around Emily to protect her, as she reached for her flashlight to illuminate the area where the crash came from.

They soon learned that the noise came from a rat colony that had made their home in what appeared to be an old cleaning closet. One of the rats had pushed an old bottle off one of the shelves, causing the crash.

Even after they learned that it wasn't Sarah/A/whoever coming after them, they both let out a sigh of relief but neither released their hold on the other.

Hanna felt her whole body come alive, in a way that it hadn't in years. Every nerve ending felt like it was a live wire, just humming with electricity from having Emily wrapped in her arms. She turned her face towards Emily to find Emily staring back at her.

As their eyes met, the world fell away. They were no longer two scared girls in a former insane asylum basement, they were two former lovers, both feeling the flame that once burned so bright.

Emily tried her best to seem unaffected, but with little success. She felt her body betray her and gently press further into Hanna. Without her permission, she felt her lips part and her head tilt down towards Hanna.

Hanna's head was spinning. Her body was thrumming with desire and her heart hammering out of her chest. She couldn't be sure, but based on how Emily's eyes keep flickering between her lips and her eyes, it seemed that Emily was as caught up in the moment as she was.

Without another second of hesitation, Hanna leaned forward towards Emily's awaiting lips. Just as their lips were about to touch, both girls' cell phones chirped.

The sound broke the haze they were in and each girl quickly pulled away from the other one, releasing their grips and reaching for their phones to check the message.

So my parents just dropped a huge bomb… They are getting married…to EACH OTHER! LOL - Aria

Hanna and Emily both laughed quietly to themselves as they typed out their responses. Aria's parents were always on again, off again, but this time maybe they would be on again for good.

After a few congratulatory messages and some mildly humored jokes, Aria wanted to meet up for a drink. Spencer already had plans for the campaign she couldn't break, but Emily and Hanna both agreed that they should meet at The Radley.

Both were secretly happy for the unsuspecting chaperone so they wouldn't have to deal with the almost kiss that just almost happened.

Hanna and Emily made their way back out of the basement and up to the lobby bar for a drink. Neither said much to each other, but once they were seated across from each other at the table, the awkward silence between them was almost deafening.

Finally Hanna couldn't take it anymore and had to say something. "Em…I'm really sorry we didn't find them…"

"Thank you for looking for them Hanna. But, don't worry about it. I just have to face it. One way or another, my eggs are gone." Emily replied sadly.

"Look, Em, you have the money now. Use it! Finish school. I mean that's why you put yourself through all of this in the first place." Hanna responded, trying to focus on the only good part of the situation.

"Yeah…I know. I just feel so bad for those couples that lost their potential babies."

"What happened was terrible, but it's not your fault. You could always donate again if you really wanted to. Just remember to keep some for yourself."

"Ha…yeah…that would mean I actually have to be with someone for that to happen. So far all of my relationships have been….challenging." Emily regretted the words as soon as they came out of her mouth. She wasn't trying to dredge up old issues and she certainly didn't want to turn the conversation back towards them and have to discuss what almost happened in the basement.

"I mean with Paige, who knows. She might be moving to Chicago. And I'm not ready for that. Where I'm at right now, I can't even imagine being in a place where I'm thinking about marriage and kids again." Emily responded, trying to change the subject away from her and Hanna and remind Hanna, and maybe herself too, that she was with Paige.

"Well, regardless of what happens with Paige. You will have kids. I know it." Hanna responded, trying to ignore the twinge of guilt and jealousy that surprisingly came when she said Paige's name.

"I don't know…." Emily responded skeptically.

"Oh come on…you know we'll have kids." Hanna responded, quickly realizing that what she said could be taken the wrong way. "I mean, like all of us. Spencer, Aria, you, me, even Alison. We will all have beautiful children."

"More visualizations?" Aria chimed in as she approached the table and overheard the last part of Hanna's comment.

"Absolutely! Just wait until you see what I have planned for play dates." Hanna joked, hoping to release some of the tension that was building from her slip up. She wanted to play it cool in front of Aria. More questions from her would only make the situation with Emily worse.

Thankfully, Aria's mind was only on the big news her parents had just dropped, so she immediately changed the conversation and began telling the girls the whole story.

She had felt so stupid thinking her father might have had something to do with Charlotte's death, when she found him skulking around The Radley that night. When in fact it was just a secret rendezvous with her mother since they hadn't yet told Aria they were back together.

Emily and Hanna sat quietly and listened to Aria's recount of the story. Both were thankful for the distraction from the millions of questions running through their brains.

What did Emily really mean that her relationships were "challenging"? Was she talking about them or just about Paige? And what happened in the basement? I almost kissed her or did she almost kiss me? What does this mean? Hanna thought to herself.

Similar thoughts were running through Emily's head. Why did Hanna go looking for my eggs by herself? And what about that almost kiss in the basement? Did Hanna really mean that "we" would have kids someday? Or did she really just misspeak? What does it all mean?
