So here is the final chapter of this story! It's a pretty short one, but I just wanted to finish up this love-fest of a story with a sweet chapter that wraps things up.
And now I must give you all some news that I hope you won't be too upset about. I've been spending a lot of time thinking and brainstorming about where I want to go with this story, and I feel like I've hit a bit of a block, which is why I need to take a bit of a break. I love writing this series. And I love all of you who have been following it, but because I want to write good stories, I need to take a step back for a while until I get some inspiration.
HOWEVER, I do not intend to stop writing. I have some ideas for a story with a different Fandom (Rizzoli and Isles anyone?) and I was also thinking of writing some oneshots (probably Emily/JJ, possibly others). So I will still be writing and I hope you all will still be reading. I promise I will return to this series! I'm definitely not done with it yet! I just need to take some time!
Thank you all so much for reading! -J
Chapter 11
With much begging, and promises that nothing but sleeping would happen Emily and JJ had eventually agreed that Spencer could spend the night with Alex since the house would be full with JJ's family anyways. After a night full of dancing, eating and simply enjoying themselves they had gone home with JJ's parents and almost immediately fell asleep; simply exhausted from the big day they had.
Opening her eyes late the next morning, the first thing Alex became aware of was the arms wrapped tightly, around her waist. Stretching as best she could, the teen eventually turned over in order to face her girlfriend, smiling at the sight of Spencer still sleeping with a rather dreamy look on her face. Unable to resist, Alex leant forward first placing a kiss on the tip of Spencer's nose before moving to her lips.
"Mmmm morning," Spencer mumbled sleepily, peeking open her eyes and smiling as she found Alex watching her with a big smile on her face. "You look happy this morning," she said, rubbing her eyes.
"I am happy," Alex replied with a shrug. "Yesterday was amazing and I got to wake up in your arms. What more could I ask for?"
"I'm not sure," Spencer said, biting her lip in order to hold back a grin. "Maybe this," she added before leaning forward and capturing Alex's lips with hers, Alex immediately deepening the kiss as Spencer pulled her closer. "Mmm I love you," Spencer sighed when air became an issue and they were forced to pull a part.
"I love you too," Alex replied, placing another, much more chaste kiss on the taller brunette's lips before pulling back, biting her lip in thought.
"What's wrong?" Spencer asked, recognizing her girlfriend's worry as she ran a hand through Alex's hair comfortingly.
"I just…I'm….I…." Alex attempted to begin but unsure of where to start, taking a deep breath in order to calm her nerves. "Sometimes I want you so bad it scares me," she eventually admitted, the words coming out rather rushed as her cheeks burned with embarrassment.
"Oooooo…kay," Spencer replied, raising an eyebrow in confusion, watching as Alex continued to struggle. "Lex I'm sorry I just…I don't really understand."
"I want you Spence," Alex repeated, taking Spencer's hands from around her waist so she could hold them in front of her. "I want you like all the time. I want to be near you, I want to hold you, I want to kiss you and…" She hesitated. "And sometimes when I'm kissing you I…I want so much more. But I'm not ready for that and I'm just scared because I don't know what you're thinking and it's all so confusing and it makes me nervous and…" She continued until she was cut off by Spencer's lips on hers.
"Alex," Spencer said when she pulled away, smiling. "You are absolutely amazing. Do you know that?" She asked, receiving a confused look from Alex in reply. "I love you okay? I love you so much and I want you too. I want you all the time. When I'm not with you I'm counting down the minutes until I see you again and it scares me how much I need you all the time," she smiled, tucking a strand of hair behind Alex's ear. "And as much as I love you and as much as I want you, I'm not ready for that either."
"You're not?" Alex asked, surprised.
"No," Spencer shook her head. "Sex is a big deal for me and I hope it's a big deal for you too," she said as Alex nodded her agreement. "I have no doubt that I want my first time to be with you Lex. I hope that one day we'll be able to share that moment together but I want it to be special. And I want it to be when we're both ready. So stop freaking out okay?"
"Okay," Alex replied, laughing in relief as she leant her forehead against Spencer's shoulder. "I'm sorry I'm such a dork."
"Don't be," Spencer chuckled. "I think it's cute. Hey look at me," she said, placing a finger under Alex's chin and tilting her head up so they were looking each other in the eyes. "I love you."
"I love you too," Alex nodded understandingly, unable to hold back a smile.
"Good," Spencer grinned. "Now can I kiss you?"
"You better," Alex laughed, grabbing Spencer by the shirt and pulling her in, both grinning when their lips finally met.

"Hello. We're home," Emily called as she entered the house Sunday afternoon with JJ on her arm, the newly married couple returning from their night spent at the wedding house. "Where is everybody?"
"Aunt Emily! Aunt JJ!" Lily was the first to make it to the entryway, the little blonde immediately jumping into JJ's arms. "I missed you guys!" She said as she wrapped her arms and legs around JJ.
"We missed you too sweetheart," JJ replied, kissing the little blonde's forehead as Emily leant in to do the same.
"Moms, you're home," Alex called as she came around the corner, smiling as she wrapped her arms around Emily's waist. "Did you guys have a nice night? Actually wait don't even answer that," she said, wrinkling her nose.
"I second that," Adam said as he came from the kitchen followed closely by Sara who had Henry in her arms. "I don't want to hear anything about how my baby sister spent her wedding night."
"Don't worry I won't be sharing," JJ replied as she put Lily back down on the ground in order to take Henry from Sara, sharing a knowing smile with Emily; both women thinking about how they spent their evening and the early hours of the morning. "Hi Henry. Oh Mommy and I missed you and your sister. Yes we did," she said, covering the little boy's face with kisses, before reaching out for Alex. "Where's Spencer?"
"She went home," Alex replied, leaning into JJ's side. "She wanted to give me some time to hang out with everyone before they had to leave."
"When are you guys leaving?" Emily asked as she stole Henry from JJ's arms, wanting to give the little boy her own kisses.
"In a couple hours I think," Adam replied, leading the group into the family room. "Mom and Dad are upstairs finishing up their packing."
"Man I'm not ready for you guys to leave yet," JJ said, grabbing Lily around the waist before plopping down on the couch. "I don't want this weekend to be over. I wish it could last forever."
"Don't we all," Sara laughed. "Yesterday was beautiful. You two looked so gorgeous and everything just went so perfectly. You both must be pretty happy."
"Thrilled actually," Emily nodded, putting an arm around Alex as she sat next to her on the couch, still holding Henry in her other arm. "Everything turned out exactly how we hoped it would. Thank you again for all of your help Sara. We couldn't have done it without you."
"It was my pleasure. I was happy to help," Sara replied. "We're so happy for you two you know."
"Yeah we're happy to have you as an official member of the family now Emily," Adam grinned.
"I wouldn't trust that smile," JJ warned her. "It usually means he's up to no good."
"Aw don't worry I would never give Emily a hard time," Adam said, his tone sounding a little too innocent making it difficult to believe him.
"Somehow I don't believe you," Emily laughed. "But don't worry Jen. I can handle myself," she smiled as Adam nodded approvingly, knowing he was going to enjoy having another little sister to mess with.
"So how are you two feeling today anyways?" Adam asked, deciding to change the subject for now. "Feel any different then you did yesterday morning?"
"Well I feel happier, which I really didn't think was possible," Emily replied, smiling as JJ 'awwwed' lovingly. "But as for the being married part, it doesn't feel all that different then before the wedding."
"Probably because you two were practically already married," Alex said. "But I'm happier too. Just in case anyone was wondering."
"Glad to hear it," Emily laughed, kissing the top of the teen's head.
"Me too," JJ agreed with a smile, sighing as she leaned back, holding Lily close as she was overcome with the happiness surrounding her. "Me too."

"Hey Kid, get down here," Emily called later that night, after everyone was gone, hearing Alex coming out of her bathroom.
"What's up?" Alex asked, poking her head in her mothers' bedroom to find both women sitting in their bed, leaning against the headboard.
"Come in here," Emily said, patting the spot between her and JJ. "Sit with us for a while. We miss you."
Laughing Alex made her way into the room, crawling into the middle of the bed where JJ immediately put her arm around her. "How could you possibly miss me? I've been with you guys all day. I was with you all day yesterday." She asked.
"That's true, but there were also a lot of other people here then," JJ replied. "We haven't gotten any time with just you in a while."
"So we missed you," Emily said. "So just humour your Mommies and pretend like you missed us too," she added, making Alex laugh. "Did the girls have a nice time yesterday?"
"They loved it," Alex nodded. "You should have heard Olivia. She went on and on about how nice everything was the whole ride home," she laughed. "She also told me to tell you that you both looked hot. I believe she also referred to you both as 'total babes'."
"Well that's nice to hear," JJ laughed, shaking her head. "What about Spencer? Did she have a good time? You two looked pretty happy dancing together."
"She had a great time," Alex smiled. "We both did."
"Good," Emily replied, reaching out and taking Alex's hand in hers. "You know Lex, I'm so happy you were here for all of this," she added, squeezing the teen's hand. "You have no idea how much it means to me that I have been able to share all of this with you."
"It means a lot to me too Mom," Alex replied. "Yesterday was just…it was perfect. And I love you both so much. I can't even describe how happy I am and honestly…I didn't know I could be this happy after well after everything," she confessed. "So thank you…both of you for just….well for everything. I'm so glad you're my Moms."
