Dangerous feelings

Chapter 14

"Weeeee" Noah screeched happily as he sat nicely in the children's seat of the shopping cart that Hanna was running immaturely down one of the aisles with.

Although it was no surprise that the three year old could behave better than the twenty three year old who was in control of the cart. Yet still Noah's face showed a look of pure happiness as he couldn't help but laugh hysterically at Hanna's odd behaviour. She was really fun in his opinion although all of her friends would probably counter that it was more a lack of maturity than fun.

Alison tried to keep up with them both but as Hanna gained more speed she soon fell behind and ended up just fast walking and trying at all costs to keep them in sight. She already felt a responsibility over Noah especially now Emily wasn't around at this particular moment and even though he wasn't biological related to her he had become a big part of her own life in mere hours. Whilst Alison and Emily had gotten themselves changed for the day earlier they had discussed Alison's role with Noah and all of the blondes options in this new situation they had suddenly found themselves in.

"Ali... you know you can tell me and him to leave right?" Emily said quietly not wanting to disturb Noah who was now sat fully dressed on the bed watching a random kids tv programme. "Or I can move back home with Noah and we can just go back to dating each other if you're not ready for all of this. I won't judge you on your decision babe" Emily continued slowly, she wanted Alison to know
she had several options she could choose from but she also didn't want to influence her in anyway. This had to be her decision, one hundred percent no matter what that meant for Emily and Noah.

Alison was sorting out her hair and make up in the mirror of her vanity dresser as she sat on the stool in front of it whilst Emily stood close behind, her hands intertwined nervously as she awaited the blondes answer. She didn't want Alison to feel like she had to stay with her if she wasn't ok with raising a young child especially one that wasn't her own. Although if her girlfriend did decide she wanted to walk away from them both it would completely shatter her and she wouldn't know what her next move would be.

"Em, I'm not going anywhere. You didn't know this was going to happen and I'm nervous but looking forward to raising Noah with you. If you want me to that is?" Alison replied as she stopped what she was doing and gave the brunette her full attention.

She wanted Emily to know she was fully committed to both her and Noah. She had always wanted a child and sure this wasn't the most conventional way it could happen but that didn't put her off. The little boy was innocent, he didn't ask for any of this and she already felt a need to fulfil his happiness. She also didn't want the brunette to feel like she had to stay with Alison if she just wanted to focus all her time and attention on Noah, children definitely demanded a lot of both.

"Yeah I want you to and Noah seems to like you which is a bonus" Emily said with a smile as she stepped toward Alison and bent down to her level, kissing her hard on the lips.

They broke away after several long seconds, not wanting to have a full on make out session in front of Noah, although he was still completely engrossed in the television screen and was oblivious to what was going on around him. He had found one of the pillows on the bed and was hugging it tightly as he didn't take his eyes off of the programme that was showing. Alison took Emily's hand and squeezed it reassuringly before she continued with her make up and Emily jumped up onto the bed beside Noah bringing the young boy in close to her as she also focused on the television. She quite enjoyed watching children's programmes, they weren't bound by the usual rules of logic and that made them quite entertaining.

Alison was soon snapped out of her thoughts by yet another high pitched screech from Noah as Hanna had turned the cart around in a sharp motion and whizzed straight past her. She worried that the other blonde was soon going to end up getting them kicked out of the store for disturbing the peace. They had already received a few dirty looks from several of the shoppers that had passed by the end of the aisle they occupied, Alison had in return given them her famous DiLaurentis glare which had quickly made them drop their eyes and shuffle off in the other direction.
