Writers POV

Its been three months since everyone had met Elizabeth. Emily had finally gotten the cast off her hand. Spencer and Elizabeth got along well with each other. They would speak about the rifts in the justice system and how much they enjoyed coffee. Hanna acknowledged Elizabeth's presence but never said much to her. Emily had been getting to know her sister more and more. As for Alison, well Elizabeth adored her and constantly thanked her for being with Emily. Between those few months Emily and Alison went on their fancy date and that was the night Emily showed Alison her tattoos. Ali cried and said she wanted a matching one on her ribs. Spencer's plan to keep Alison in Rosewood did work but not without a negotiation. Alison's parents wanted her to check in every week. Alison reluctantly agreed and Mrs.DiLaurentis made some homophobic comments towards Emily. She almost said something back, but bit her tongue when she felt a small hand squeeze her own. Alison made Emily calm, there was no denying it. But more often Emily found herself comforting Alison, whom was suffering from terrible nightmares. Alison also began flinching away from almost everyone's touch except Emily and sometimes Spencer's. Alison's nightmares withheld from waking her when she could feel herself wrapped in Emily's strong arms. It made Alison feel awful because she knew how Emily struggled to sleep, and keeping her awake was not one of her priorities. Alison refused to talk about her reoccurring nightmares. So when Alison would have nightmares that kept her from falling back asleep she would sneak out from Emily's arms and sit outside, staring at the stars trying to figure out the constellations. Sometimes Emily woke up when Alison snuck away, and when she found the bed was empty besides herself, she'd panicked and would immediately sit up and begin looking for Alison. Emily usually always found her sitting outside and together they would sit in the cool air, completely silent and look up at the stars, Emily would hold Alison's trembling hands in her own until it eventually settled. When her frail hand would settle it usually meant Alison had finally fallen asleep and Emily would pick her up, bring her back to bed and wrap her in her arms again.

(A/N, I didn't really know how to transition this so I just split it into another part)

By some miracle Emily and Alison had both moved onto being seniors along with Aria, Hanna, and Spencer. Most of the girls' evenings were spent studying or doing homework. Emily and Alison both had enormous amounts of homework and studying to make up. As for Elizabeth well she was going back to North Carolina soon and practically begged Emily to come with her. She eventually agreed, curious to meet what little family she had. Hanna and Alison were also going to tag along. Like Aria had said "There's no separating Emison or Hannily." And she was right, the duo was inseparable. Almost always together unless it was a study night, then Hanna was not allowed around. Hanna excepted that and would go and bother Spencer, Aria or some other person those nights.

"You ready everyone?" Elizabeth said excitedly motioning toward the house in front of everyone.

"Beautiful Home." Emily said quietly, grabbing Alison's hand a slinging a backpack over her shoulder.

Elizabeth began walking towards the house, Emily, Alison, and Hanna followed closely behind. She opened the door and a little girl came running hugging Elizabeth's leg. Alison looked at Hanna grinning, then she looked at Emily who was staring at the little girl. Emily's eyes met Alison's and she looked confused.

"Rosie?" she mouthed at Alison. Alison shrugged unsure whom the cute little girl was. She had wavy brown hair that fell above her shoulders and dark blue eyes. Her skin was tanned from the sun and she was tall, well at least for a four year old.

Then the little girl let go of Elizabeth and noticed the three other girls.

"Emily?" the little girl said looking at Hanna. Hanna shook her head and pointed at Emily.

"Oh"

"That's me..." Emily said shifting awkwardly on her feet. The little girl ran up to Emily hugging her leg tightly. Emily went rigid from fear and she looked terrified. Alison and Hanna laughed.

"Mommy told us about you!" the little girl shrieked letting go of Emily's leg then looking toward Hanna and Alison. The little girl now stood in front of Ali. Alison bent down coming face to face with the little girl.

"You must be Rosie, Emily told me you were as cute as a button." Alison said pushing a stray hair behind Rosie's ear.

"What's your name?" Rose asked shyly

"I'm Alison" Alison said reaching out her hand to shake Rosie's.

"You were holding her hand...why?" The little girl asked looking at Alison puzzled. Hanna looked at Emily and smirked.

"She gets nervous." Alison said

"Oh. Are you Emmy's boyfriend?" Rosie asked eyeing Ali.

"Girlfriend, and yes I am." Alison said correcting Rosie through giggles.

"You can do that?" Rosie asked

"Yes you can." Ali said laughing

"So who are you?" Rosie asked, looking at Hanna

"I'm Hanna, Emily's best friend." Hanna said looking down at Rose.

"Okay, come with me. Lets see Dean." Rosie said pulling Emily into the house, Alison and Hanna followed but they stopped when a woman came out from a door.

"Emily?" the woman whispered

"You must be Aunt Joy." Emily said smiling. The short woman walked over to Emily wrapping her in a tight hug.

"Look at you..." she said placing her hands on the side of Emily's cheeks.

"You're so beautiful." Joy said quietly

"Must run in the family." Emily said laughing and made everyone in the room laugh except Rosie. She was trying to figure out why Emily wasn't following her. Joy looked past Emily at the two blondes standing behind her.

"Oh, right" Emily said excusing herself.

"This is Alison, my girlfriend." Emily said motioning toward the shorter blonde.

"And this is Hanna-"

"I'm Emily's pimp. Well without the whole being a man part." Hanna interrupted holding her hand out to shake Joy's.

"Funny, so I'm just going to assume Hanna the pimp is actually Hanna the best friend." Joy said laughing

"Oh yeah, I'm that too." Hanna said laughing

"Alison, nice to meet you. Welcome to the Family... All of you." Joy said shaking Alison's hand.

"Are you two sisters?" Joy asked motioning towards Hanna and Alison.

"No... Why?" Hanna asked

"You look a lot alike, that's all." Joy said confidently

"Okay so ill show you to your rooms and in about an hour were going to go to the beach. If you are interested you can tag along." Joy added looking at Alison, Emily, then Hanna.
