A:N:It is i! Well my laptop was in a coma for a few months and didn't know how to update it via my phone. I finished the entire story and already started a sequel. I'll try my absolute best to post one every other day or every day.
Emily and Spencer ended up going to Toby about the Henry Rose perfume, he said he would look into it but did not wanna give them any sense of false hope given a lot of people use the perfume and it's not like he could decrease the suspects list with it, given it's a genderless perfume.
They wanted to keep this information to themselves for now, they didn't think it was necessary to tell the others given there were no answers.
It was Emily's weekly doctor recommended therapy session and after the last therapist who didn't help at all, she decided to go to one therapist who helped her in the past, Dr. Sullivan.
She was sitting in her office for almost fifteen minutes without saying anything. Since Dr. Sullivan knew Emily a little bit from the few sessions they had, she knew the brunette takes a little while to open up, so she waited there patiently.
"Alison is pregnant" She blurted out.
"Is it safe to presume this is the same Alison that you've talked about in the past?"
Emily nodded.
"Are congratulations in order?" the doctor asked because she couldn't read Emily's face.
"I don't know…-" she started picking at her nails "She's not sure if she wants to keep it"
"How do you feel about that?" she asked, taking notes.
"I told her I would be there no matter what decides"
"That's good but not what I asked" She knew Emily was avoiding the question.
"It's not my body…- so I don't have much to say"
"That may be true but it is your life as well…- look" she said closing her notebook "You two are partners right?" Emily nodded "Talk to her about it. Communication is key to a good relationship"
"What if what I want isn't what she wants?" Emily asked.
"So would it be a deal breaker if she didn't have the baby?"
"No" she answered without hesitation.
Dr. Sullivan wrote down some notes and looked back at Emily "How are the nightmares?"
"They're bad…there is one that has been bothering me though. So many things happened down there that I can't seem to tell what were hallucinations or what was real…" the doctor remained silent giving Emily the space to elaborate further.
"...I mean I have the scars to prove that something happened there but I can't remember"
"Tell me about the dream, only if you feel comfortable talking about it" the doctor said.
When she opened her eyes it was dark… not a single hint of light. She could feel her body trapped, it wasn't until the lights came on that everything became clearer. The last thing she remembered before waking up was a bookshelf.
She was strapped down a cold hard steel gurney. She was tied by her wrists and ankles. She couldn't move her head because she was trapped under a steel neck choker. It was very tight around her neck, any sudden move she made, made it hard for her to breathe.
"What the fuck" Her voice barely came out.
Then the voice on the speaker came on and the two tv came on. One had Hanna and the other had Spencer.
"Choose"
"No!"
"Choose, Emily"
"Fuck you!"
A light came on and pointed at a big blade that soon started to swing back and forth. It was getting closer and closer.
"Choose, Emily"
Emily wanted to tell this person to go fuck themselves but then she could see her parents crying at her grave, she could see her friends sobbing. She could see the blonde scream crying as they lowered her grave.
"And that's usually when i wake up"
The doctor looked mortified but tried her best to hide it from Emily, she finished writing in her notebook and looked at the brunette.
Emily continued "The only way I could know for sure if that room existed is if I visit the place again…"
"Emily, that is a bad idea. Who knows what would could trigger you down there"
"Yea, you're right" Emily said, giving the doctor a peace of mind.
She was gonna go one way another, she just had to convince one person and she already knew exactly who she was gonna go too.
On her way home, she kept asking herself that question that the doctor asked her. If it was a deal breaker if Alison had the baby.
Emily thought about it. Truth be told she had no clue what was going through Alison's mind. She couldn't fathom how Alison must feel carrying a baby that was made out of pure hate, she had no idea what she would do if she were in Alison's shoe's.
But to answer the question, of course it was not a deal breaker. It's not as if she were in a relationship with that man. So no, of course it wasn't but that still doesn't mean that Emily couldn't fantasize about having a child with Alison. As a matter of fact, it's something she always wanted. To create a family with her.
She had to talk with the blonde. While Emily was on her way back to her apartment, Alison was already there, working on the store.
Alison had no one but Emily to talk to about the baby. None of her friends knew and as much as she wanted to tell them, she wasn't ready to relive that nightmare. The universe was taunting her again by bringing up ads about baby clothing. She ended up adding at least ten baby clothing into her shopping cart.
On her laptop there were at least 22 tabs open, she was searching where the audio was coming from. She's been trying to find it for at least ten minutes so to say she was getting a little frustrated was putting it lightly.
"I will kill you" she mumbled to herself not realizing Emily was there.
"Wow, I just got here"
"Emily. Help! I don't know where the audio is coming from and I will cry"
Emily walked over to the blonde and immediately found the tab and closed it "There…-" she planted a kiss on Alison's cheek "...- this is why you should get an actual computer"
"Let's say I did, there's no space here" she said leaning into the brunette who had her arms around her…and as if the universe heard her, there was a knock on the door.
Emily gave her one last kiss on the cheeks and went for the door. She signed for the order and closed the door.
"Ali, come here for a second"
She walked over to Emily and found her with a huge smile on her face, holding a big box.
"What's that?"
"Well, it was suppose to be a surprise but I guess the jig is up. Since you're gonna be staying here until that man is found…I ordered some things for you"
The table, the room separator and the chair ended up arriving the same day. So they spend the rest of the day putting them together.
The table had three drawers on the right and two shelves on the left. The legs of the table were black while the actual table was fully white with very thin gray stripes on it.
The chair had a lever that you could pull that would bring out a leg rest. It was dark red just like Alison's car. Emily also ordered some blankets since the blonde was always cold. Also because the ac was set at a very cold temperature. She ended up ordering another dog bed to set under Alison's table.
While Emily was assembling the table and the chair, Alison took her phone out and snapped a photo of her gorgeous girlfriend. After that she decided to get started on dinner.
She's been craving tomatoes for days, so she sliced some up and had it as a snack while she was preparing spaghetti for dinner.
She was swaying back and forth. Her hand subconsciously started caressing her stomach and singing along to Billie Holiday - I'll Be Seeing You.
"Just listen to the song, Ali" Emily exclaimed.
"Fine!" Emily has been annoying Alison with this song for weeks. Not that she didn't wanna listen to it, it's just that the blonde absolutely loved the attention the brunette was giving her.
So there they were, at the kissing rock in the middle of nowhere with no one around them. They were inches from each other, sharing the headphones.
Alison could see the brunette had her eyes closed and she could see her mouth moving, slightly singing along with the song.
I'll be seeing you
In every lovely summer's day
In everything that's light and gay
I'll always think of you that way
I'll find you in the morning sun
And when the night is new
I'll be looking at the moon
But I'll be seeing you
The blonde was in awe of her friend. It made her chest heavy, but the good kind. She couldn't help but smile. She could also feel her eyes burning up with tears.
When the song finished, Emily turned and faced the blonde who had tears streaming down her face.
"It's beautiful isn't it?" Emily asked, wiping the tears away.
"Absolutely beautiful" but she wasn't talking about the song. She shook her head and cleared her throat.
"You have good taste in music, Emily" Alison complimented the brunette "This song would sound even more amazing on the Eiffel Tower, don't you think?"
Emily turned and faced the blonde "Paris?"
"Yes. I think you would look beautiful on top of the Eiffel Tower" Emily was once again blushing.
After that they made their playlist together.
"Paris: AD+EF"
What snapped her out of her memory was a familiar arm wrapping around her waist and swaying back and forth with her.
The next couple of days went by pretty fast. Emily was finally able to convince Alison to get a computer with two monitors and also added a noise canceling headphones, since the brunette tends to get riled up when playing the game.
Their next project was the bedroom. Emily was aware of how much clothing the blonde had so she spent almost four hours clearing half of her closet for Alison to have space to set her clothes but even so, she still had a lot of clothing so they ordered a wardrobe for the rest of the clothing.
Next was re-painting the room, Emily made sure Alison was included in the color choosing. They both loved forest green and so they painted the side of the room where the bed's head was gonna be.
For the bed they chose a bed set that was fully gray with hints of green in it. They even bought a new dog bed for Tito, which he absolutely loved and while they were at it, they bought him some new toys…not that he needed it.
Emily swears when they walked past the baby section she could see Alison smiling and again reaching out for her baby bump. Later that night while Emily was massaging the blonde's back she decided to bring it up.
"Hey…"
"Hey yourself"
"How are you feeling?" Emily asked.
"No drug could make me feel this relaxed"
And I'm about to ruin it…crap. Emily thought. She didn't realize she'd been silent for a couple of minutes.
"What is it Em?"
"Nothing…It can wait" she smiled and continued massaging.
"I think I made my decision…that's what you wanna talk about isn't it?" Alison asked.
"You have?" Emily stopped massaging which made Alison sit up.
"I have but I wanna know what you think first" the blonde said, taking Emily's hand and intertwining their fingers.
"It's your body, your decision"
"I just want your opinion"
Emily thought about it, she thought back to Dr. Sullivan's words, communication is key to a good relationship.
"I want you to have the baby…I know I'm asking you more than I have the right to ask but I want a chance to raise this child…I know this isn't the ideal way to have a child" Alison remained silent "...Like I said in the beginning, I'll be by your side no matter what okay?" she said, before bringing their intertwined hands to her lips.
Alison climbed on top of Emily and straddled her, placing her hands around Emily's neck, while Emily had her hands on Alison's back, stroking it back and forwards.
"You know, I always imagined myself with two or three children, a white picket fence with a pool in the backyard and even a dog" she looked over at Tito who almost immediately jumped on to the bed next to them and plopped on the bed, which made them both chuckle "Yea big guy, you're also there"
"Not exactly how I imagined starting a family but…I wanna have this baby…-" she placed one of her hand on her stomach and got a curious look from the Pitbull "...-If you'll help me"
"I mean it Ali, I'm not going anywhere" Emily assured the blonde.
"Than yes, I'm gonna have the baby"
Emily couldn't help but smile at the blonde, she pulled her in for a hug and gave her kisses all over her face, which made Alison giggle.
"I have to tell Jason" she said that to herself.
"Do you have any idea where he is?"
"No, last time we spoke was about two months ago and he told me he might be MIA for awhile"
"Want me to ask my dad if he knows something?"
After Jessica DiLaurentis was murdered Jason could feel himself spiraling and he knew where he was heading. So instead of burying himself into the bottles he joined the military, a part of it was also so he didn't have to deal with his emotions, the only thing he regrets was leaving his little sister behind but he knew she had people who care about her and that she'll be well taken care off.
Alison couldn't blame him for doing that but a part of her wished that her brother was close by, he is the only family she got left that she actually loved.
"Not today, I just wanna remain in our bubble for now but I will message him" Alison said, placing a kiss on the brunette's lips.
Alison: I miss you you idiot, call me when you see this.
That night Emily fell asleep with her head near Alison's stomach and her hand on top of her stomach. The blonde couldn't be happier than that. That night was her top five favorite moments with the brunette.
She made two important decisions that night,
One: She was having the baby and she and Emily were gonna be parents.
Two: She was gonna tell Toby about the sexual assault.
She didn't wanna tell Emily that night, simply because she didn't wanna ruin the mood for the night but did plan on telling her the next day.
As much as Emily wanted to go with her, she couldn't because she had a meeting with her team and her manager. So the blonde reassured her, which took about twenty minutes to do so, before she left and was on her way to Toby.
Toby was not prepared at all for what Alison was about to tell him. So after she finished telling him everything, including the fact that she is pregnant, he was left there speechless.
"I …-" he leaned down and took a bottle of whiskey out of his drawer and downed a glass "You want some?"
"Well…I don't think it's a good idea" she placed her hand on her stomach and slightly smiled.
"I'll have another one for you" he downed another glass and put it aside "okay I'm done…-" he put the bottle back into his drawer and shut it closed before continuing.
"Ali… I can't even imagine how you must feel or how you felt then, but I'm glad you came to me with this, I promise to do everything in my power to find this guy, okay?" he said in a very soft voice.
After Toby had to take Alison to The Brew for coffee that night she got to the Fields house super drunk that one night and opened up to Toby, he saw a different Alison that night. He could see why Emily loves the woman so much. He started to care for her.
"Thank you Toby, I appreciate it" Alison said, smiling at her friend.
"Can I ask something?"
"Yes, I'm gonna keep the baby. No I don't know, rather it's a boy or a girl…Yes, you're gonna be an uncle" That made Toby blush.
"Uncle…I like that, and Emily?"
"She's an honorable woman and is sticking by me, not quite sure what I did to deserve her"
"You deserve to be happy, Ali" Toby said in a soft tone.
As she was driving back to the apartment she almost drove past a baby store but stopped and went in. She wanted to buy something corny for Emily.
There was a tiny shirt that said 'i have the best moms' so she bought that and at least five different clothes and three pacifiers and then she cried for fifteen minutes after seeing a mother and a child eating ice cream.
Emily called her friend and explained the dream to her, in detail.
"I don't think I've ever been in such room"
"I wanna go back"
"I don't know if that's a good idea Em"
"Listen, I'm gonna go with or without you"
"Fine! I'll ask Toby to come along… Are you gonna tell Alison?"
"Afterwards"
"Emily…she's gonna be able to read right through you"
"No she's not"
And boy was she wrong. As soon as Alison arrived back at the apartment she knew instantly that something was up. After arguing about it for thirty minutes, Emily gave in and told her.
The blonde was pissed at her for the rest of the day.
Before Pedro could leave the call, Emily spoke up "You've been married for many years, so I imagine you and your wife had fought many times"
"Si" Pedro replied.
"How do you make it up to her?" Emily asked, knowing there was a raging blonde in the living room.
"Well, first of all, as a man…I'm aware I'm always wrong, even when we both know I'm right, I'm wrong. So what I do is, I sit on her when she's on the couch until she starts laughing"
"Got it, sit on her" They both laughed and said goodbye.
She took a deep breath and went into the living room where the raging blonde was but opted not to sit on her. If she were a cartoon, there would be smoke coming out of her ears. So instead she made two cups of tea. Emily set down the cups and took a seat next to Alison, who refused to look at her.
"Thank you…" the blonde said dryly.
Even though she wasn't looking at Emily, she could feel those puppy beautiful brown eyes staring at her.
"Stop that" Alison said, slightly annoyed.
"Stop what?" Emily knew exactly what she was doing.
"Looking at me like that"
"Am I not allowed to look at my gorgeous girlfriend?"
"I'm still mad at you"
Emily was threading the water when she scooted closer to the blonde and cupped her face with both hands.
"You're adorable when you're mad"
"I'll show you adorable" Alison said, jumping on top of Emily straddling her.
She had both hands on the back of Emily's neck while her thumb was on her cheeks, she saw Emily smiling and that was all the consent she needed to go in for the kiss.
She kissed her with such passion that she could feel the brunette shuddering underneath her. Since she was still a little angry she accidentally bit Emily's lower lip which made Emily pull back but quickly recovered and went back in for another kiss.
Emily usually would fight for control but she knew Alison needed to get out some of her anger and so she let her take control of the kiss.
The brunette's hands went from caressing Alison's waist, to her hips, down to her ass which she gave a little squiz and then her thighs which made Alison get goosebumps all over her body and she giggled in between their kissing. Alison could feel herself getting wet and then suddenly all movements stopped.
"You must really want this…"
His nails digging through her skin…
His teeth sinking in her skin…
His tongue, licking her entire body…
Emily's lips connecting on cheeks brought her back from the memory. She had tears in her eyes. She laid her head on Emily's shoulder, still straddling her.
"I really want to but…I-I" Alison said, her voice cracking.
"Hey…" she said, while rubbing her back, hugging her and leaving kisses on her shoulder "There's no rush, okay? We can start slow, just making out for now okay?"
"But what if you expect-" Before she could finish Emily caught her off.
Emily brough her hands to Alison's face and pulled her back so that they were facing each other "I will never expect anything, I promise…as long as I have you by my side, I could live the rest of my life in celibacy"
"I love you, Emily Fields"
"I love you too, Alison DiLaurentis…like I said, you set the pace and I'll follow"
The brunette knew it was gonna take time for Alison to be ready for that kind of intimacy. It wasn't the same but she could still remember when her ex boyfriend Ben assaulted her in the bathroom. She remembered how long it took for her to even kiss another person.
So that's exactly what she did, she gave Alison all the time in the world.
Emily has been working on herself a lot. Physically and mentally. She never missed her therapy appointment even when the doctors at the hospital said she didn't need it anymore, she knew the baby was on the way and she wanted to be at her best self for the little one, for Alison and of course for herself.
The brunette didn't notice how weak she became since being rescued, the moment she realizes she wasn't as strong as use to be was when Alison was attacked at her house. So since that day, she started going to the gym every chance she got, she also kept running every morning with Tito by her side.
She also signed up for martial arts with Jake. She was gonna do everything in her power to protect the blonde and the baby.
Her baby.
The baby wasn't genetically hers but she didn't care. She was gonna love and protect this baby with everything she had.
Later that night, they were on the way back to the bunker. Alison sat next to her while Toby and Spencer were in the car in front of them.
As they were arriving, Emily looked from the road to the blonde next to her.
"Ali, when we get there. Please…-just stay behind me, okay? I don't want anything happening to you or my baby"
That last part made Alison feel all giddy on the inside.
"Your baby huh?"
Emily said it so casually that she wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for Alison.
"Yes…-" she said, smiling "Our baby"
"Our baby" Alison repeated.
All four of them stood outside the bunker. Spencer and Toby had their hands intertwined as did Emily and Alison.
"You know, normal couples goes out on a double date to a movie or dinner" Spencer commented.
"Yes well, we're not normal, never have been" Emily replied.
"You guys ready?" Toby asked.
Emily and Spencer nodded at the same time.
The brunette turned and looked at Alison and whispered "please, remember to stay behind me"
"I will"
Both Emily and Spencer took a deep breath before going in.
Toby was the first one in, hand on his gun ready for anything that jumps out and with his other hand intertwined with Spencer's.
Emily and Alison were the last two to go in and like Emily mentioned earlier, the blonde was behind her and just like Spencer and Toby, their hands were still intertwined.
It was weird being back here … after almost a month since being rescued. Both Emily and Spencer could still feel the smoke burning their lungs. They could still hear the screams of their friends echoing through the bunker.
"What exactly are we looking for?" Toby asked.
"I'll know when I see it" Emily answered.
She was getting goosebumps all over her body. The hallway somehow seemed wider.
They first arrived at the room Spencer was held in, which was half emptied out. The police had taken most stuff for evidence. Next was Aria's identical room. There were little things left behind, like bottles and the bed frame. Then there was Hanna's. There were empty boxes of donuts and cupcakes, which made Emily very happy that they decided not to bring Hanna along. Then they stopped at Emily's room. The scratches on the wall were still visible as was dried blood. The sight made everyone flinch.
Spencer knew Emily had it bad but she didn't realize how bad it was. She turned around and looked at her friend. Spencer always admired Emily's strength but now she was in total disbelief.
No one knew what to say.
"Come on let's keep going" Emily said, snapping everyone out of it.
It was very eerie walking through the hallway for Emily and Spencer, a hallway that was filled with screams of their friends is now dead silence.
They reached the room where there's a well.
"Why is there a well underground?" Alison asked.
Emily and Spencer looked at one another knowing why the well was there and what it was used for.
Emily whispered to Alison "I'll tell you later"
In the corner of the room there was a bookshelf and then Emily knew. Her dream was real.
She let go of Alison's hand and walked towards the bookshelf. It was too heavy for her alone to move, so Toby came and helped her. Behind it there was a steel door and luckily for them it wasn't locked.
She walked back to Alison and made sure they were out of hearing range from Toby and Spencer.
"If I ask you to stay out here, will you listen to me?" Emily asked, knowing the answer already.
"Absolutely not"
"Thought so"
As Emily was about to walk back Alison pulled her back by the wrist "How are you doing?"
"I just wanna know if the nightmare is real or not"
"We'll talk later?" Alison asked.
Emily nodded and they walked back towards Spencer and Toby.
They all nodded and Toby opened the door. And just like when entering the bunker, Toby and Spencer entered first and Emily with Alison behind them. They walked about a minute down another hallway and then suddenly Toby and Spencer came to a halt.
The brunette and Alison went and stood next to them with Emily slightly standing in front of Alison in a protective mode.
Then they saw what the sudden halt was about.
Written in big letters 'Welcome back Emily'
A/N: I love protective Emily, especially when it comes to our little bean Alison. I hope the story is making sense to you guys.
Also how are we feeling about Alison's decision to keep the baby? Did you see it coming?
Sorry if these chapters were a little shorter, i promise they will get longer.
I think Billie Holiday - I'll Be Seeing You is a perfect song for them, don't you think? I wanna make an actual playlist, would you guys be interested in it
Give me all your thoughts
