Authors Notes- Hey y'all I am really really sorry this update has taken so long. I feel like such an ass and I wish I could say it won't happen again, but I can't. I just finished my undergrad so a lot of my obligations are done now so I should have more time to write once I find a job. Unfortunately my depression has been kicking my ass lately and with the current cannon Pretty Little Liars all I have inspiration to write is incredibly angsty without happy endings. Maybe someday I will post the stories that come from that, but when that's all I can write it's hard to write this story. Sure some angst is good, but this story deserves a happy ending. I will write when I can and try my best to update within a reasonable time period. I can promise though that I will not abandon this story! It may not go on as long as I want it to, but it will have a definitive ending with everything resolved.

Thank you so much for all of your support on this story even though it may not seem like it, it really does keep me going. I hope after the long wait this chapter lives up to expectation. I'm not too thrilled with it and I'm sure there are a million mistakes, but I can't keep you all waiting any longer. If I go back I might end up rewriting it and that would just be bad. Thanks for reading! Please review tell me if you like it and what you want to see happen. Thanks for sticking with me!

-Emily POV-

"I think we broke her" Paige says as Spencer walks into the room looking dazed.

"Yeah I think you're right" I chuckle.

When Spencer gets to us she looks between Paige and I and stutters "y-you… but she a-and you m-me she…wha …why?" She continues to look between us trapped in a confused, hopeful, daze.

Gently I grab her hand and pull her attention to me "Spencer, why don't you have a seat and we can talk about all of this."

As she nods her agreement Paige slides over and pats the spot between us. Cautiously Spencer sits and Paige grabs hold of her free hand. The action seems to calm Spencer as if both of us are grounding her. She takes a few deep breaths then looks up shyly "soooo tonight was…"

"A date!" Paige cuts in.

"A date" Spencer repeats quietly. She is quiet for a minute as she thinks then finally Spencer asks "Did Hanna tell you?" Before we can answer she continues "is this some kind of pity thing? Because that's the only reason I can think of to explain what just happened and I really can't handle pity or anything like that."

"Hey" I say as I caress her cheek. "This has nothing to do with pity. I'm going to be honest with you, yes Hanna told me, but only because I made her."

"You see" Paige says as she moves closer and wraps her arm around Spencer. "Emily and I have feelings for you, deep feelings, and we wanted to know how you felt."

"But how can you risk your relationship on me when it's probably just because of the recent closeness that you're having feelings for me" Spencer asks. "You've just been spending too much time with me. A bit of separation and things will go back to normal."

"That's where you're wrong" I say softly as I turn her to face me. "You see a long time ago back when I was still in the closet I had a crush on these two amazing girls. One of them was so closed off I never thought I would get a chance and the other well she was one of my best friends."

"I know this Em. What does Ali have to do with anything" Spencer interrupts.

"No Spencer this was after Ali. You see Ali had me blinded, but once she was gone things started to change. I started to realize my feelings for other people and well they scared me. You see back then I was crushing on two presumably straight girls. One of whom was a bit of a bully and one of whom was my best friend. Now as you can imagine I buried those feelings so far down I thought I had lost them, but lo and behold here they are. Maya helped me to come out and I am so thankful for that because that ultimately lead to Paige coming out and confessing her feelings for me!"

"When we got together and you were with Toby I thought it had all worked out perfectly. You see Spencer you were the other girl and because you were my best friend and I thought you were straight I knew I could never go there. That would have been Ali all over again so I kept those feelings buried. I thought it was for the best. I mean I had some one, you had someone. We were both happy. But then here we are and you're hurting and it hurts me and my feelings are right back at the surface. When Hanna let slip your lack of heterosexuality I guess something just clicked. I knew this was right and after a lot of thought and discussion it was decided that we could all be a little happier with each other. We are not pitying you or risking anything without a reason and tonight was about showing you why."

"Okay, but what about Paige I mean you can't honestly have feelings for me. I've never been anything, but horrible to you. I can't… I mean you have fought so hard for Em I could never get in the way of that."

"Spencer," Paige says as she replaces my hand on Spencer's cheek. "You're not getting in the way. My story was a lot like Emily's. You see back in freshman year I was at a new school, meeting new people, and going through puberty. I met two girls who threw my world upside down and I did everything I could to change it. It was a bit easier with you Spencer because we have this competitive nature about us and we both seemed to just clash so I convinced myself you hated me and that you were just another one of Alison's minions. I buried my feelings for you, but Emily she was just so different. She was nothing but nice even as one of Alison's minions so I was twice the bitch to try and push her away."

"Alison tormented me and tortured me because of my feelings, but that never changed them. Things happened and Em and I got together and now we are here with you and feelings have been revealed and like Em said we could all be a little happier with each other. We have thought about this, a lot, and we understand if you need time to process and think things over. Tonight was about showing you our feelings so you could make a decision. We say hell yes lets jump, but we won't unless we are all on board."

"Exactly," I say as I rub Spencer's shoulder. "We want this Spencer and we are not entering into this lightly. We understand that it might be hard and that there will be complications, but as long as we are honest with each other and we communicate I know we could be epic.

"But… what… really?" Spencer asks as her expression changes from doubtful to confused and finally landing on hopeful.

"Yes Spencer really" Paige says with a joyous giggle. "We like you and you like us and these last few weeks have just proven that we all really work together. So if you are up for it we would like to sort of start from the beginning. We want to date you and woo you and really get you to feel like you are just as important to us as we are to each other."

"I just… I mean this is just… yes! I mean I want to I just can't believe this is real, that this is really happening. I really just… never imagined that this could ever…" Spencer rambles as she gestures between us and her cheeks flush bright red.

I can't help but giggle softly at her adorably nervous rant. As adorable as she is though I decide to help her out and cut her off by gently pressing my lips to hers. The kiss is soft and short, but it works to cut off her rant. When I pull away Spencer's lips chase mine and she seems dazed with a goofy grin plastered on her face.

After a minute Spencer shakes herself out of her daze and a blush spreads across her face. She dips her head in perfect imitation of the McCullers head dip. When she looks back up determination is written across her face and she takes a deep breath. "Okay" she says as she lets out her breath. The butterflies in my stomach go wild and if the look on Paige's face is anything to go by so are hers. We both reach in and crush Spencer in a hug knowing this is the start of something great.

When we pull away the goofy grin is back on Spencer's face. She runs a shaky hand through her hair and looks between Paige and myself. "I'm in! I'm 100% in, but" Spencer says her expression back to seriousness "if at any point this doesn't seem to be working, if at any point one of us isn't happy this has to end. What you guys have is so special and if what you're saying is true then I agree this could be epic, but it would hurt me more to destroy your relationship than to lose you. We have to talk and you guys have to be honest with me, okay?"

"Spence," Paige says sadly "I know it might take a while, but we are going to work every day to show you that you are not just some add on or nuisance getting in between us. And when we manage that you will see that you are making us stronger not weaker. We will fight for this relationship tooth and nail and we hope you will as well. Of course if it becomes destructive and we can't fight enough to save it we will do what needs to be done, but not without a fight. This is definitely worth the fight; you are definitely worth the fight, okay?"

There are tears in Spencer's eyes and I can tell she is still plagued with doubt, but she still agrees with determination "I will fight to."

"Good" I say softly as I stand. "I know this might be awkward now that we are exploring this so I'm just going to nip that in the bud. Nothing is going to change as far as what we've been doing. We are still going to help you through this, cuddling at night, your runs, the time spent together, everything. What is going to change though is that we don't have to hide anything or hold back. This is a relationship now between the three of us so we tell each other everything. The good, the bad, and everything in between! Spencer if you want to know something ask nothing is too personal. Also you have free reign to kiss us whenever you want to although I think we should probably keep it from the public for now what with A and this judgmental town. We will take this slow and move at a pace that's comfortable for all of us, okay?"

"Okay" Spencer and Paige say in unison.

"Great! Now how about we put in a movie, cuddle up in bed, and talk or whatever."

"Sounds wonderful" Paige says as she stands and reaches out for Spencer's hand. Spencer hesitates for only a second before she nervously takes Paige's hand and allows us to lead her up to her bedroom. When we entered the room the awkwardness I predicted settles in, but Paige and I keep our cool as I put on a movie while Paige leads Spencer to the bed. Once we are settled in our normal arrangement I can't help but notice how Spencer is shaking slightly and her heart is racing.

"Spencer" Paige says apparently noticing the same thing. "It's okay, take some deep breaths and talk to us."

"I'm sorry" Spencer says as she hides her face in embarrassment. "It's just, I'm really nervous now that we're… in a relationship and… and in bed together. I know we need to take it slow and I'm in no way ready to stuff, but that doesn't change the fact that I want to and that just makes being in bed with you more intimidating. Not that you're intimidating, but … you know the situation its self. Now that I can kiss you … God I can't believe I can kiss you now! Both of you! Now that I can kiss you I just, well I want to and being in bed… I want to do more you know?"

"Yeah I know what you mean. It was a lot easier not to act on my desires when I wasn't allowed to" Paige says as she tightens her hold on Spencer reassuringly. "It's okay though. Just talk to us and do whatever you are comfortable with. We will be responsible and make sure things don't get out of hand. I know it's hard to believe, but you can kiss us so don't hold back okay? Kiss, touch, ask away. Whatever you want to do just do it and if you don't think it's okay then talk to us. Don't be afraid to ask. We are in this now, all of us together so don't be afraid."

"Okay. I-I think I want to kiss you now" Spencer says still unsure of herself. "Both of you, I would like to k-kiss both of you now"

"Then kiss us" I say as I readjust myself so that I am hovering over Spencer's left side. I catch Paige's eye and silently encourage her to follow suit as I gently run my free hand down Spencer's cheek, across her lips, and down her neck stopping just above her chest. Spencer shudders and soon Paige is above her right side tracing her hand in the same pattern down her opposite cheek. Spencer takes a shaky breath looking between us unsurely. This time though instead of unsure about being able to kiss us she looks unsure of who to kiss first.

I decide to help her out again this time urging Paige to claim Spencer's lips. With a wicked smirk Paige leans down slowly connecting her lips with Spencer's. The kiss starts off slow as I stroke across Spencer's collar bone encouraging her to relax into us. Spencer gasps as I run my hand seductively down her side to her hip then back up. Paige quickly takes the opening sliding her tongue into Spencer's mouth. The two kiss passionately until they inevitably have to part for air. When they part Paige pulls back in an attempt to calm herself down. Spencer's heaving chest is almost hypnotic and before she has caught her breath I lean in to capture her lips. The kiss is immediately heavy with passion and soon I'm lost in the feel of Spencer's lips and tongue.

Paige and I continue to take turns claiming Spencer's lips occasionally breaking to claim each other's until things start to get a bit too heavy. Hands start to roam too far while hips start to grind. A desperate groan and growled "fuck more" from Spencer breaks Paige from their latest kiss.

"Hmm o-okay" Paige says as she runs a shaky hand through her hair. "I think it's time for us to umm cool down a bit." Paige chuckles nervously as she rolls off of Spencer and settles into her spot resting against the head board. "As awesome as that was, I don't think any of us are really ready for more or for what that could entail."

"Yeah that's probably a good idea" I reply as I roll off of Spencer and get out of bed. "I am umm… I'm going to run downstairs and grab some water for us all. Is there anything else you need?" From the middle of the bed Spencer can only manage a shake of her head. She is clearly flushed lying with both arms draped over her head her chest still heaving. The sight is certainly not helping me cool off so with a no from Paige I quickly make my way down stairs.

When I get downstairs I splash some water on my face and just take a breather. It's been a long time since I have been this turned on without the ability to really satisfy myself. I almost forgot how those early days with Paige had been. As tough as it was to walk away I know it was the right thing. Spencer is not ready hell we are not ready. It's really important to take this slow with her, well slow ish. She has to feel like a piece of this puzzle otherwise this relationship won't work. We will be patient and deal with all this until she doesn't feel like she is intruding then we will all jump and it will be magic!

With my head on a little straighter I grab three waters from the fridge and head back upstairs. Hopefully the other two have cooled down too and we can finish the night with some talking and cuddling.

-Spencer POV-

As soon as that word came out of my mouth I knew I was in over my head. My whole body is flushed, there is an intense throbbing between my thighs, and my breath has been stolen. I am so turned on it's actually a bit frightening. I have never been this turned on just from kissing. Embarrassingly I'm afraid if we would have continued I would have cum just from their kisses. As soon as Paige and Emily roll off of me I cover my face with both arms and try to slow my breathing. When Emily asks if I need anything I can only manage a shake of my head. I fear if I open my mouth a moan is all that will come out. That or I would beg them for more again.

"Spence" Paige calls cautiously. I'm too embarrassed to look at her so I just stay where I am and pretend I didn't hear her. When she speaks again there is worry in her voice and I can't help but feel guilty. "Spence talk to me. I know that was probably too much and I'm sorry I let it go so far. Please don't pull away. Just talk to me."

I know I have to reassure her so I take a few deep breaths and hope I have enough self-control to not do anything stupid. "Paige" I manage shakily "I'm fine, it wasn't too much and it wasn't your fault. I'm just… I need… I'm really really… cold shower. Yeah I'm going to go take a cold shower, but its fine I'm okay, alright?"

I peak from behind my arms and I see Paige's look of concern and confusion slowly turn into one of realization. "Ohh oh okay yeah sorry no problem. That's probably a good idea. You do what you need to do. I will just stay in here and uhhh cool down myself."

Avoiding eye contact I roll out of bed and grab some new clothes before heading into my bathroom. Once there I strip out of my now soaking pajamas, turn some music on my iPod dock, and turn the shower on cold before jumping in. The cold water works for a minute, but soon I can't stop the images of Paige and Emily on top of me. I let out a frustrated growl before I sink down onto the bench and drop my head into my hands. Cold showers have always calmed my desires before so why isn't it working this time. There is no way that I can go back out there and lay in bed with them if I am still this turned on. I know what I have to do, but I'm embarrassed to do it with Paige and Emily right outside the bathroom.

Laying my head back against the tile I get comfortable and hesitantly slide my hand down my body. The shiver this move sends through my body frightens me but I have no choice. This level of arousal is clouding me. All I can think about, all I can see is Paige and Emily doing all sorts of things to me and to each other. When my hand finally reaches its destination my fingers are met with wet heat. I can't believe how wet I am and it sends another shiver through me. While I rub slow circles over my clit I bring my free hand up to tease my nipples all the while imagining it was Paige and Emily and not my own hand. Soon my breathing is rapid and there is a tight pull in my stomach. I trail my other hand down and slowly slide two fingers inside. I pull back out and start a rhythm that matches the circles on my clit. When I feel the tell-tale clenching on my fingers I speed up my rhythm and clench my jaw trying to stay as quiet as I can. I cum with a powerful shudder and it takes everything in me to bite back the loud moan that wants to come out.

As I bring myself down slowly I feel relief flooding me. My arousal is waning and the force of that orgasm was eye opening. Never in my life have I ever cum that hard and that was just with images of Emily and Paige. I can't wait to see what it's like when I have the real thing. It seems to have strengthened my resolve about this relationship because now instead of being afraid of not fitting I'm determined to make this work. Hell I'm convinced that this can work. When my breathing has returned to normal I stand up and wash up then I get out and get dressed excited to go back out there and get to know Paige and Emily the way they know each other.

-Emily POV-

When I get back to Spencer's room I find Paige alone on the bed staring worriedly at the ceiling. My smile falls and I pause in the door way. "Hey, where is Spencer? Is everything alright?"

Paige turns to face me and smiles wearily. "Hey Spence is in the shower. She said she was fine she just needed to cool off, but I'm scared we pushed it too far. I didn't mean to let it get so out of hand. It was my job to make her feel safe and comfortable and I just… I knew I should have stopped it sooner, but I didn't want to. I was selfish and I can't be if I want Spencer to feel safe and this relationship to work."

"Hey, no! this isn't your fault" I say as I rush to her gently cupping her face. "It's not just on you to keep your head okay. I was there too and to me it seemed like you stopped us at just the right time. If Spencer says she is fine and she just needs to cool off it's probably the truth. I know I needed to cool off and I have a lot more practice than her so yeah. Now let's not freak out until she gets back out here and we can actually talk to her and make sure she is okay."

"Yeah you're right" Paige says with a heavy sigh. "I know I shouldn't blame myself, but I can't help it sometimes. I just screwed up so much in the beginning with you that I guess I just don't want to do that here."

"I get it Paige, but you weren't the only one who messed up back then. I messed up probably more than you did, but this time we have each other so we can make sure neither of us screw this up."

"Yeah that sounds great Em. I'm so lucky to have you, I love you"

"I love you too." I say as I lean in and kiss her softly, "and I'm the lucky one. I can't believe I ever let you go, but you can be sure I won't ever make that mistake again."

"Me either" Paige says as she opens her arms and I settle in laying my head on her chest to wait for Spencer.

We don't have to wait too long before Spencer rejoins us with a huge smile on her face. She looks happy and at peace and it really alleviates a lot of our worry. When she sees us her smile softens with affection. "Hey" she whispers as if not wanting to disturb the moment.

"Hey, come here" Paige says as she opens up her other arm indicating for Spencer to join us. When she does Paige pulls her in tight and kisses her forehead. "How are you doing with everything that happened?"

"I'm good" Spencer says with a genuine smile. "I really, truly, and honestly am good with everything that has happened. I can't believe this is all happening, but I couldn't be happier about it. I was a little embarrassed by how wanton I was earlier but I realized once I cooled down that it was really a good thing. I'm not scared anymore! I mean of course I still am about a lot of things, but I realized that my feelings for you two are so intense and real that there is no way I cannot just dive right in and give it my all. Plus after what just happened it's a lot easier to believe that your feelings are real and intense too."

"They are" I say as I reach across and brush her cheek. "I'm glad you are starting to see that."

"I really am" she says. "Now how about we settle into bed and get to that talking."

"That's a wonderful idea" I say as we get settled again. I'm so happy Spencer is taking this so well. I know that this is going to be the start of an amazing love story!
