Emily's life had taken an unexpected turn as of lately. Yes, AD was still running around giving her and her friends a hard time, but that was actually the least of Emily's worries. The subject of said worries was a certain pregnant blonde who was cuddled up to her closely. One night of movies to support Alison had turned to two, turned to three, turned to four, and so it'd been a nearly two weeks since Emily had taken to staying with her.

At first she'd told herself she stayed because it was the right thing to do when a friend is in need, but it didn't seem fair to reduce their history to simple friendship. Not when she admitted to herself that she was still very much in love with Alison and that she'd do just about anything for her if it meant she was safe and happy. At the moment she seemed to be at least one of those if her smile was anything to go by.

Emily smiled in return as she watched Alison sleep peacefully. Some nights Alison would wake in a frenzy after nightmares about 'A' or that night she'd disappeared. Emily made sure to hold her tight and whisper reassurances in her ear. Some nights it took Alison longer than others to settle down, but she eventually always dozed right back off in Emily's arms. This particular night, however, Alison was sleeping soundly with no signs of any nightmares.

'This'll be good for the baby,' Emily thought while running her fingers through blonde locks softly. It had taken her several days to really come to grips with the fact that Alison is in fact pregnant, but once she had accepted it, her entire outlook on the future shifted completely.

Before Alison had told her the news she didn't necessarily have any long term goals for herself beyond finishing school which she'd managed to do not long ago. Ever since she spent that first night after Alison's confession, all she could think of was how she would fit into Alison's life in the long run. How she would fit into Alison's baby's life? Was there even a place for her?

"I can hear you thinking in my sleep." Emily's eyes fell on Alison who was sleepily blinking her eyes. The raspiness to her voice brought a smile to Emily's lips. She didn't bother to stop running her fingers through Alison's hair. "Why aren't you asleep?"

Emily shrugged to which Alison responded with a scrunch of her nose and a snuggle closer to her. Never one to back away from affection, Emily turned fully on her back to pull Allison with her. The warm weight of her grounding her in a reality she didn't mind in the slightest.

"Is everything okay?" Alison's lips tickled her throat as she spoke. The worry in her voice, Emily realized, was probably due to her lack of response.

"Yeah, sorry I just," Emily trailed off while running her fingers up and down Alison's back. She smiled when she felt the slightest shiver from Alison above her. "I really like holding you like this."

"Oh good," Alison breathed. Emily could see her worry her bottom lip between her teeth, something the blonde often did when she was holding back on saying something. Alison Dilaurentis was made nervous by no one; no one but Emily Fields, and the latter of the two had learned to see the signs of it years ago when Alison had returned to Rosewood. She saw it when she'd asked Alison to stay in Rosewood, when Alison had confessed that her feelings for her had always been more than platonic. And that night. That night when they'd shared Alison's bed and they'd allowed trembling hands to touch places they'd only ever dreamed of.

A small chuckle broke Emily from her thoughts. She was about to ask Alison what was funny but she soon realized Alison was giving her that teasing smile. The one that could dismantle her within seconds. Emily watched blue eyes dance between her face and the noticeable bulge growing between her legs.

"Is that why you like holding me like this?" Alison teased.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't realize," Emily groaned as she moved her body away so she wasn't pressing herself against Alison.

"its okay, Em," Alison assured with a squeeze to her arm.

"How is it okay? I'm like a teenage boy, one thought about…," she cut herself short just before admitting what she'd been thinking about.

"Thought about what?" Alison asked as she began drawing shapes on Emily's bicep. Emily licked her lips when she felt the gesture as if it were right on the source of her current discomfort. "You don't have to be embarrassed. It doesn't bother me."

Emily gulped. She wouldn't survive the night if Alison continued to talk to her in that husky tone while looking at her as though she was everything she'd ever wanted. She'd done a good job of not making any moves on Alison since the night they'd kissed, but whenever blue eyes bore into her own with such intensity Emily was positive she'd break and give in to her desires.

"I can't help it. If I could I would," Emily explained.

"I know I was just teasing." Alison's fingers traveled to her hip to pull her back into the position they'd previously been in with half of Alison's body draped across Emily. Emily had to stifle a moan as she felt Alison's leg brush over her erection. It became even harder to do so when Alison's face returned to her neck. She felt the faintest of pecks on the skin there and to keep from embarrassing herself further with any sounds, she kissed Alison's forehead. "We have a doctor's appointment tomorrow. Try to get some sleep."

Emily nodded in agreement and much like usual Alison was asleep within minutes again. She resumed her earlier motion of running her fingers up and down Alison's back to distract herself from any sexual thoughts. Soon she thought about the fact that Alison's had said 'we have a doctors appointment,' as opposed to just herself. It warmed her heart to think of herself being there for Alison through the entire process. It warmed her heart even more to know that she would be, not because no one else could, but because Alison wanted her there. It was that thought that chased her into dreams about a family she hoped to be a part of.
