Sorry for the long wait, I'm officially over my case of writer's block, so expect more and more updates. Anyway, here is chapter 10. Like always, please remember to leave me a review and let me know what you guys thought of the chapter, the reviews you amazing people have already left have been amazingly awesome and they really give me the motivation to get writing again!
Emily's POV
"Come on Emily, just a few more steps that's it." My physical therapist Blake cheered from the end of the walkway he created for me in the middle of a room I've come to both hate and love over the past few weeks.
"Just...a...little...further...YES!" I shouted while holding onto the bars tightly, while Blake came over with my wheelchair.
"That's an amazing accomplishment, Emily, I've never worked with someone with this much determination before," Blake said while patting me on the shoulder.
"Thanks, Blake, I've got a lot of things waiting for me when I finally get out of the hospital, so the more I push myself now the quicker I get out right?" I asked before taking a large gulp of my water.
"You are well on your way to getting out of here, I should be able to sign you off in a few weeks and then it's up Doctor DiLaurentis to make the final decision." He said while filling out my daily report.
"A few weeks? That soon, really Doctor Ward?" I try my best to hide my smirk as I hear Alison voice from the door behind me.
"Do you not agree with my assessment, Doctor DiLaurentis?" Blake asked before handing the report over to Alison.
"Not at all Doctor Ward, I can see that Ms. Fields is making excellent progress," Alison said while signing off the report and handing the clipboard back to Blake. "I can take Ms. Fields back to her room if you like, I'm heading back up that way," Alison suggested while smiling shyly at me without Blake knowing.
"That would be great actually Doctor DiLaurentis, I have a last minute meeting that I need to get too, Thanks and I'll see you tomorrow Emily!" He said before running out of the room, leaving me and Alison alone together.
"You know, he prefers if you call him Blake…" I said while smiling knowingly at her.
"And you know that I would never do something so unprofessional like that, don't you Ms. Fields?" She said while slowly walking over to me.
"You are all about keeping things professional aren't you Doc?" I said while leaning up towards her lips.
"I am...we should head back to your room now." She moved to the back of my chair and started to push me towards the door. I was starting to feel worn out from physical therapy so I softly and slowly lead my head gently on her hand and drifted off to sleep.
"Alison! If you don't hurry up we are going to miss our reservation!" I shouted up the stairs, tonight was our 5 year wedding anniversary.
"I'm coming, keep your hair on." I look up to see the most beautiful girl in the world staring down at me.
"Wow...you look...you look amazingly beautiful." I stutter out while reaching out to grab her hand.
"You say that every time…" She smiles and leans in to kiss me softly.
"And every time I mean every word." I effortlessly wrap my arms around her waist before deepening the kiss.
"Eww! They're kissing again!" I mentally roll my eyes and turn around to see our 6-year-old daughter and 4-year-old son standing behind us.
"I can't help it, mommy is too beautiful I can't help but kiss her," I said while I lifted Sarah up into my arms and Alison lifted JJ into hers.
"Mommy, will I be as beautiful as you when I'm a big girl?" Sarah asked from my arms.
"You are already the most beautiful girl in the world my little princess and your brother is the most handsome boy ever!" I said while fake throwing Sarah up in the air.
"Almost as beautiful as your mom…" Alison said while leaning over to kiss me softly.
"I love you…" I whispered against her lips…
Alison's POV
"I love you…" I looked over to see Emily smiling like an idiot in her sleep, I wonder what she's thinking about. I've never noticed how beautiful she is when she's asleep, I've seen her lying in that bed passed out and drooling so many times but I've never taken the chance to just sit and admire her natural beauty.
"Gee thanks…" I quietly place my chart on the table at the end of Emily's bed. "I mean it's a bit too soon for 'I love you's', but I guess I...I love you too Emily." I gently lift her hand up to my lips to place a small kiss on her scarred knuckles.
"Doctor DiLaurentis...can I have a word please?" I jump in my seat, dropping Emily's hand. I quickly gather my things and place them on the table at the end of Emily's bed.
"I'll be with you right away Nurse Peters…" I drop my head and walk out of Emily's room to face the older woman. I hope for my sake that she didn't see anything.
"A word in my office please Doctor DiLaurentis," Betty said sternly as soon as I exited Emily's room. Before following Betty into the office I stopped to compose myself.
"We need to talk about Emily Fields…" Betty said emotionless as soon as I entered the room.
Emily's POV
"Time to wake up sleepy head…" I turn slightly in my small hospital bed, I open my eyes to see long blonde hair that's just a slightly different shade as Alison.
"I don't wanna…" I snap and pull the blanket up over my head.
"Then you won't get to hear my amazingly perfect news!" Hanna teased excitedly.
"I'm intrigued, what kind of news?" I leave the comfort of my newly formed bed cave and sit up to face her.
"You're going to be an auntie!" Hanna excitedly whispered, making me scream and almost jump out of my bed.
"What on earth is going on in here?" An angry Doctor DiLaurentis suddenly appears at the entrance of my room.
"Sorry Doc, I was just telling Emily some exciting news and she took it better than I expected," Hanna explained while trying to hold back her laughter.
"Visiting hour ended almost twenty minutes ago, you should say your goodbyes and continue your celebrations tomorrow," Alison said emotionless like she would have all those months ago. But not now, not after what has happened between us.
"Alrighty then, I'll see you tomorrow Em. See ya later Doc." Hanna huffed as she exited the room, leaving me and Alison alone together.
"What was that all about Ali?" I asked frustrated at the older woman.
"It's Doctor DiLaurentis to you Ms. Fields, I need you to sign these papers." Alison gently through the small bundle of papers onto my lap.
"Doctor request forms? What is going on?" I look at her with confusion written all over my face.
"Just sign the papers Emily, Nurse Peters will be by to collect them later," Alison said without looking at me.
"I don't want a new doctor, I'm happy with the one I've got!" I snap at her slightly.
"Well, she isn't happy. I wish you a speedy recovery Ms. Fields...goodbye Emily." Alison said softly before exiting my room.
Alison's POV
"Did you give her the papers?" Betty walked up to me as soon as I exited Emily's room.
"Yes, but I can't force her to sign them." I huff at her.
"I'm doing this because I care about you Alison, don't forget that," Betty said quietly before heading back towards her office.
"If you cared you would let me be happy, at last," I say to myself, before heading to the locker room.
