General POV

"Ali, you have to tell her and you know it." Hanna said.

Alison decided to ignore her best friend. Hanna has been badgering her, trying to get her to tell Emily about the baby.

"You can't avoid her forever. She's going to find out eventually. Your baby bump is already starting to get noticeable. Did you think you'd get to keep your figure?" Hanna says.

"What if she leaves me? I- I can't lose her." Alison said sadly.

"Well, if you don't talk to her soon she's probably going to leave you anyway. And I don't think she'd do that, she loves you. And if you haven't notice, You're carrying her child in your uterus!"

Alison let out a sigh.

"You're right, I should go talk to her." Alison said,  getting up from her bed.

"Good luck, Ali. Call or text me if you need anything."

"I think I'll be fine."

~~~

"Hi Mrs. Fields, is Emily home?" Alison asked when her mother opens the door.

She finally found a liking to Alison, Emily's dad on the other hand still hated her guts.

"Yes sweetie, she's in her room. It's nice to see you again, Alison."

"You too Mrs. Fields." Ali said, stepping into the house.

Ali could hear the uneasiness in her voice, which meant that Mrs. Fields could hear it too.

"Is everything okay?" She asked, her eyes filled with concern.

"Not really..." She said truthfully. "I just really need to talk to Emily."

"Oh okay, well I'm heading to New York for a couple of days so feel free to stay over." She said kindly.

Ali gave her a small smile. "Thank you Mrs. Fields."

~~~

"Emily," Tears were already building up in Alison's eyes when she got to Emily's bedroom.

"What's wrong baby?" Emily asked, she went up to Alison and engulfed her in a tight hug, holding Alison in her strong arms.

"Ali baby, tell me what's wrong." Emily pleaded while wiping away Alison's tears.

Alison thought to herself, Why does she keep saying baby?

Alison looked up into Emily's eyes.

"Nothing, just hold me." Was all Alison said.

Emily sat on her bed and pulled Alison into her lap and held her there.

"Whatever it is babe, I'm here for you." Emily kissed the top of her head.

~~~

Alison woke up alone in Emily's bed.

She made her way downstairs and saw her beautiful girlfriend making pancakes.

"I thought you didn't know how to cook." Alison teased.

Emily turned around and smiled at her.

"I learned just for you." Emily walked over and kissed Alison ever so softly. "Are you feeling okay?" Emily asked.

That's when Alison remembered the reason she had come over in the first place.

"Yeah, I'm fine." She lied.

"Are you sure? I mean, you never really told me what was going on last night..." She trailed off.

"I'm positive, it was nothing." Which wasn't technically a lie.

Alison was positive. Well, her pregnancy test was anyway.

Emily stared at her for a second.

She knew something was wrong, but she also knew that if she pushed Alison too hard she'd shut her out.

Emily closed her eyes and sighed.

"Ali, please just tell me what's going on."

"I-I just don't want to lose you." Alison said quietly.

Emily walked over to her and wrapped her arms around Alison's waist.

"Why would you lose me? I love you, Ali." Emily kissed the top of her head.

"I love you too." Alison said, she gave Emily a small smile. "How about those pancakes?"

"You're kidding!" Hanna shouted frustrated.

She took  deep breath.

"You went over there, cried, fell asleep, then ate pancakes? She still doesn't know you're pregnant." Cece said, she was also slightly frustrated.

"I know, I chickened out." Ali put her head in her hands.

"Ali, you're almost three months. There's no way she's going to notice." Hanna said.

"I could just be fat, you know."

"Ali, you can tell if someone's pregnant or not." Hanna said.

"Oh yeah, how?" Alison questioned.

"Your boobs are getting bigger," Hanna said.

"That's natural."

"Cravings." Cece said.

"I'm not going to call her if I'm having cravings. I can deal with them myself."

Cece shook her head.

"Mood swings." Hanna called out.

"I could just be on my period." Alison crossed her arms stubbornly.

"Yeah, that makes sense, you'll just be on your period for the next six months. That's totally normal." Cece said sarcastically.

Alison huffed and ran her finger through her hair.

"She deserves to know." Hanna said clearly. "You can't keep this from her."
