Alison sat at one of her favorite places in Rosewood, the kissing rock. No one ever came to it anymore, so she always seemed to gravitate toward the spot when she was stressed or had a lot on her mind. At this moment 'a lot' didn't cover the amount of things running through her head. Alison had been beyond relieved after the girls had buried Elliott in the woods. Since that night all messages from Uber-A had stopped and the five girls were finally able to relax. Everyone except for Alison and soon to be Emily. Alison held an envelope in her slightly trembling hands as she waited to be joined at the kissing rock, only this time she didn't plan on kissing the other person. She had some life changing news to deliver and she couldn't think of a more appropriate place to do it.

The rustling of leaves brought Alison out of her thoughts. She looked around and was instantly met with warm brown eyes as they emerged from the trees.

"Hey, Ali. Are you alright? You sounded a little upset when you called." Emily asked as she hesitantly approached the blonde.

Alison had definitely sounded distraught when she called Emily. All Alison had said was "Meet at our spot." before hanging up on Emily. The shorter woman waved Emily over to her and motioned for the brunette to sit beside her. Emily didn't hesitate to join her friend.

"I'm ok, physically. I just needed to tell you something, before everyone else eventually finds out."

Emily attentively studied Alison's face and nodded for her to continue. Instead of speaking, Alison simply handed Emily the envelope. With steady hands, Emily opened it and emptied its contents onto her lap. The brunette was a little taken back when she looked down at the pieces of paper. They were black and white images, sonograms to be exact. Emily examined them all carefully, not able to ignore Alison's name printed at the top.

"How far along are you?" Emily softly asked.

"Not far. About five weeks maybe." Alison whispered just as quietly.

Emily was silent for a few long moments, trying to process what Alison was telling her. Alison patiently awaited the brunette's reaction. Emily turned and pulled Alison into her arms, finally speaking.

"Are you ok?"

"I don't know, Em. I don't think I'm ready to be a mother. Especially a single mother."

"You wont be alone. You know the girls and I will be here for you. And you have options if you aren't ready for this. Adoption or... you know. The other thing." Emily couldn't even bring herself to say it out loud.

"There is absolutely no way I would ever have the heart to give away or abort this particular child. You don't know how special it is going to be." Alison whispered while squeezing Emily tighter.

"What do you mean?" Emily questioned as she pulled away from the hug to look at Alison, but keeping her hands on the blonde's shoulders.

This was going to be the most difficult part of the conversation for Alison. She took a deep breath to steady herself before she broke the news to Emily.

"Biologically, this isn't my child. It's yours, Em."

"What are you talking about?" Emily asked in confusion.

"Something happened when I was in Welby. For a while I thought it was just a nightmare. Elliott kept me so drugged up that it was difficult to differentiate between reality and what was just happening in my head... But as a little time passed by I had to face the fact that it really did happen."

"Tell me." Emily whispered.

~~~~~~~~~~~~Flashback~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Good morning, honey." Elliott said in a sickeningly sweet tone as he entered Alison's room at Welby, making sure to close the door behind him.

Alison glared at him as he approached her. She couldn't believe that she married this man. Alison had been so good at lying for as long as she remembered, yet Elliott was able to fool her. She was still kicking herself for not realizing she was sleeping with the enemy.

"I have a surprise for you." He stated with enthusiasm. Alison wasn't able to tell if it was genuine or fake, either way it couldn't have been good news for her. Alison refused to take his bait.

"Oh, come on, love. Don't you want to know what it is?"

Alison continued to stare at him in silence, well aware of the fact that he was going to tell her even if she didn't cooperate. She wished he would leave her alone, but luck was rarely on her side.

"Fine, I'll tell you, but where should I start? I guess it all starts with Emily Fields."

Alison felt her blood instantly boil. He could do anything he wanted to her, just as long as he left Emily alone. Elliott could see Alison's eyes flashing with rage, which was exactly the reaction he was trying to illicit.

"It's funny, really. I've seen the way you look at her. You still love her, don't you?"

Alison started at him in disbelief.

"You used to dream about running off into the sunset with her. Getting married, having children, didn't you? Oh, Alison. You are such a hopeless romantic, even if you try to hide it. Unfortunately you'll never get your happy ending with Emily or anyone else for that matter."

Elliott leaned forward and gently caressed her cheek, causing the restrained woman to jerk away, but not making it too far.

"Don't worry, Alison. Because I'm such a generous man I will make sure you and Emily at least get to have one child together. You see, I borrowed Emily's eggs. I plan to fertilize them myself. Of course it is likely that only one will result in a child considering Emily didn't produce that many. Then, OUR little baby is going to grow inside of you. You'll be the perfect surrogate. Biologically it will be my child with your precious little Emily, but you get to experience the pain of carrying it, getting attached, and never having a chance to be a part of his or her life. Of course Emily won't either. Who is going to question it. I'm your husband and you clearly are unfit to raise a child, so I will be the one with all the legal rights."

Elliott leaned close to Alison's face to whisper.

"I'm going to make sure you spend the rest of your life in this place. You're going to carry my child in this place. You'll even die in this place."

Tears were falling from Alison's eyes and trailing down her cheeks. She knew there was nothing she could do to stop Elliott. He was right. Who was going to question her doctor/husband? It hurt Alison to think about everything he had just said, but it hurt more to know that Emily was going to be dragged into this mess. The thought of Emily and Elliott having a biological child together made Alison feel physically ill.

She couldn't bear to think about a beautiful, tiny version of Emily being raised by a monster. There's no telling what vile and evil things Elliott would make this child do. Just the thought of this child growing up to look just like her sweet Emily, but acting like Elliott made more tears silently fall from Alison's dull blue eyes.

Elliott left Alison alone for a brief moment, only to return pushing a cart full of medical supplies. Alison's panicked eyes looked over all the supplies and back up to Elliott's face. There was no way this man had a soul. He gave the blonde a sadistic smile as he approached her with a syringe between his fingers. Alison struggled to escape, but it was to no avail.

"Don't worry my sweet wife. The pain won't last too long. Only about nine months."

She felt the needle invade her arm and almost immediately her eyes grew heavy. The last thing Alison remembered was Elliott's smug face hovering over her.

~~X~~X~~X~~X~~

Alison woke up in a panic, only to find she was completely alone in her room at Welby. She was no longer strapped to her bed as she had previously been, so she quickly took the opportunity to examine herself? Physically she felt fine and saw no markings on her body. She sighed in relief, knowing that everything she just experienced must have been another of her many bad dreams. She wondered why she dreamed about the things she did. How her own mind could concoct such frightening thoughts.

The thought of having a baby with Emily wasn't scary, but the thought of Elliott taking the child away was what made Alison wake up in a panic.

"Thank God it was only a dream." She muttered to herself as she wiped a layer of sweat from her forehead.

~~~~~~~~~~~~End Flashback~~~~~~~~~~

Emily stared at Alison in shock before she finally found the courage to speak.

"As odd as it sounds, I am actually kind of relieved. I wasn't sure what happened to my eggs, but knowing they ended up with you, I'll never worry about them again. Though I am so sorry he did this to you. I know you aren't ready for this and you should have had a say so, after all it is your body, but don't feel like you have to do this because of me. No matter what you decide to do, I wouldn't hold it against you."

Alison was overwhelmed. She didn't expect Emily to be so calm about it. She knew the brunette was still internally freaking out, but at the same time was trying to remain calm for Alison. Emily knew what Alison was going through was more intense than what she herself was feeling, so she tried to remain strong for her friend.

"I appreciate your support, Em, but I am going to keep the baby. Just the thought of having a little Emily Fields is kind of exciting. At least I know the baby will turn out to be beautiful." Alison stated while lightheartedly chuckling. "I mean, I'm terrified, but at the same time I can see the good in this situation. Elliott is gone. Forever. So I don't have to worry about him ever hurting us. I can safely raise this baby without any 'A' troubles. We can have a normal life. I can give her or him the childhood I should have had." She said while rubbing her still flat stomach.

Emily allowed Alison's words to sink in and it calmed her racing mind.

"When we were teenagers I would dream about us having a happy ending. Ya know, marriage, kids, and maybe even a dog. I just didn't think of a situation like this happening." Emily confessed.

Alison blushed because she had similar dreams about the two of them, though teenage Ali would never have voiced these thoughts out loud.

"I mean, Alison DiLaurentis is pregnant with my child. This is so crazy." Emily breathed out while smiling at the blonde. "So, would it maybe be alright if I go with you to the next doctors appointment?" Emily shyly asked.

Alison's stomach felt as if it had been filled with butterflies. She had to admit it was exciting that someone wanted to accompany her. The last time she felt awkward and slightly depressed because she went alone.

"Absolutely, in fact I would love it if you came with me!" Alison gushed.

Emily smiled at her friend. "Then it's a date."
