3 weeks have passed since Emily left us. They haven't been the best weeks of my life, I have absolutely no news of Emily, again and I've been barfing like crazy for the past week. I have no idea what's going on. I went to work this morning, like any day but when I saw the date, something clicked. I'm late, two weeks late. Oh my god. No I can't be. I finish the day, pick the girls up and gently ask Pam to take them for the evening. I rushed to the nearest drug store to buy many pregnancy tests. I think I bought like 12. I peed on all 12 of them and they all were positive. I'm shocked but then I remember that while Emily was gone last year, I stopped the pill and since she surprised us by coming home unexpectedly, I didn't think of retaking it. Dammit! I call my baby doctor and schedule an appointment for tomorrow. I look at the time, it's already 7pm, I need to pick up my girls. I drive to Pam's house, I'm so sweaty and panicked and of course she noticed it.

P: Ali, are you okay?
A: yeah; yeah
P: Are you sure, you look very pale?
A: I'm sure Pam. Thank you for the girls
P: Anytime sweetheart
A:GIRLS come on

They come running to me and hug me. After saying goodbye to Pam, we all went home. I cooked them dinner and put them to bed. I go to my room and stand in front of my mirror. I lift my shirt up and put my hand on my belly, rubbing it. I cry because I don't know if I can go through a pregnancy without Emily. She helped me so much with the twins pregnancy. Oh my god, Emily. How am I gonna tell her? This is not something you tell in an email or other the phone but considering the circumstances, I won't have a chance. I'm scared, very scared. I look down at my belly and a memory came up.

*flashback*

Oh my god is all I can think about right now. I'm sitting on the toilet in mine and Emily's one bedroom apartment. Em and I have known each other since forever but we started dating only a year ago when I finally gathered enough courage to tell her how I truly feel. This is way too soon, I mean we've talked about it but we wanted to get married first, buy a house and we just turned 20. I come out of the bathroom to my amazing girlfriend watching tv on the bed. As soon as she lays her beautiful eyes on me, I start to tear up. What if she's not ready, what if she leaves me?

E: Hey, what's wrong?

I say nothing and just give her the positive pregnancy test I just took. Her eyes light up and she smiles like never before. She looks at me with this huge smile and happy tears. She stands up and hugs me real tight.

E: this is the best news ever Ali.
A: Em, how are we going to take care of a child when we are not even capable of affording a two bedroom apartment?
E: I'm going to join the army sooner. As long as we stick together, everything is going to be fine.
A: No I don't want you to join the army Em
E: Ali, we've discussed about it millions of times already. We will be fine I promise
A: Em, Your dad didn't came back the last time and I can't lose you
E: You won't lose me, I promise
A: I swear if I lose you..
E: you won't! Ali, we are gonna have a baby!

I smile at her, she is too sweet.

A: I believe we are yes.
E: I'm going to have a baby with the love of my life, the girl of my dreams. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me Alison Dilaurentis.

She picks me up and turn us before letting me slide down on my feet again. God, I love this women so much! She looks at me, kisses me and goes down to my belly.

E: hey little baby, mama talking here. You be nice in mommy's belly okay, don't give her too much morning sickness, she hates throwing up. I already love you so much and I can't wait to meet you!
