You'll realize this love is strong
as it has been all along
for miles and miles can't come between
the kind of love we've seen
I'll wear your colors my dear
until you're standing right here
next to the one who adores you
whose heart is beating for you
like a lighthouse guides a shipwrecked sailor safely from the sea
I'll wear your colors til you come back home to me.
*Eight years later*
Alison's POV
I groan as the alarm clock rings and I know I have to get up. But I hit the snooze button anyway.
I immediately regret this action when I feel two tiny pairs of hands and one big pair poking me.
"Up mommy!" Comes Skylar's four-year-old voice.
"It's your birfday mommy!" Everette cries. "So you have to get up!"
Then I hear that gorgeous laugh that belongs to my wife.
I open my eyes to stare at the twins. Skylar's deep blue eyes and long blonde hair. She looks so much like me. And Everett with his grey-blue eyes and short reddish blonde hair looks more like the donor. They're not identical twins.
"Happy birthday." Comes Emily's warm voice as her face comes into view.
I grin and sit up. "Thanks loves." I'm so happy that I don't have to work today. My schedule has been crazy since I became a professional singer. I'm pretty famous now.
Both Skylar and Everett clamber into my lap. They kiss both my cheeks at the same time and Emily snaps a picture to post to Instagram no doubt.
I check my phone and see it with the caption:
The loves of my life, Sky, Ev and Ali💕 Happy birthday babe!
I grin and comment.
Love you, Em! Glad to be with you and the kids today!
My feed blows up as people comment on Em's picture and tag me.
"I made you breakfast." Emily grins.
"We helped!" Our daughter cries.
I giggle at her as I get up, throwing on my robe.
The dining room table is covered in practically every breakfast food known to man. They even used the good silverware and plates.
I gasp. "How am I supposed to eat all this!!?"
Skylar runs up to me, a huge grin on her face. "I'll do it mommy!" She then turns to Emily. "Aunty Hanna could help too. She's good at eating. When are Aunty Hanna and Uncle Caleb and Zoe coming over?"
Emily smiles down at her. "Later, sweetie."
"Wheeeennnn?" Skylar whines.
"Noon, Sky." Emily chuckles.
Everett runs up, grabbing a plate. "Can I get the bacon? Please, mommy, pleeeeaaaaassssseee?" He begs.
I nod and laugh at him. "Go ahead, Ev."
Emily's POV
"Never fear, Aunty Hanna is here!" Hanna announces as she flounces through the front door without even knocking, Caleb in tow.
"I got a present!" She yells. "I'm dropping it on the table with the other presents! I'm walking into the-"
"Okay, Han. We get it." I laugh.
"Aunty Hanna!" Skylar cries, rushing up to her. It's no secret that she's her favorite aunt. They're a lot alike.
"Zo!" She cries, hugging her "cousin" too. They're the same age and so close and they act just like sisters.
"Sky!" The two girls rush off together.
Next to arrive are Ezra and Aria with their little boy, Alex. He's just a year older than Everett. They rush off together as well.
After that it's Toby and Spencer with their two daughters. Lea is five and Lily is two. They go off and find the other girls.
We adults sit in the living room and chat as usual.
"Ali how old are you now?" Hanna asks. "Like fifty?"
"Hanna!" I scold, but Ali just laughs.
"Same as you, Han." She says. "Twenty-eight."
Hanna gasps. "Um, I don't know what world you're living in, but I'm still seventeen, DiLaurentis."
"'Course you are, Han." I say. "You sure act like it."
She smacks my leg. "Asshole. Go birthday-bang your wife and leave me alone."
"Hanna, there are children here!" My wife scolds.
"They're in another room!"
"The walls are thin!"
"Okay, okay." Spencer laughs, interrupting their playful fight. "Why don't we do presents?"
Alison gets a book from Spencer and Toby of course, an old camera from Aria and Ezra, and a snow cone maker from Hanna and Caleb.
"Thanks, guys." Ali says, hugging each of them.
"Oh, and Zoe made you this." Hanna says, handing her a card with lots of glitter and craft feathers stuck on it.
"Aww!" Ali cries cutely. "Tell her thanks!" Just like Hanna is Skylar's favorite aunt, Ali is Zoe's. Zoe idolizes Ali and wants to be just like her.
Little does she know, she doesn't really want to have Ali's life.
None of the kids know about our past with A yet. We'll probably tell them when they're older, but for now we don't want them to get scared by something they can't understand.
But we're happy now. A is far behind us.
Life is good.
