*my little sister is pissing me off so much right now*

Emily POV:
I stay looking at CeCe for a minute.

Eden let go of CeCe and ran to her room.

CeCe has the same blonde hair and the same voice. The body shape and height are the same as the person that was at Radley.

"CeCe, you said it was?" I ask politely as I stand up from the bar stool.

"Yes. CeCe Drake. And you are?" She asks as she shakes my hand.

"Emily Fields." I tell her.

Her initials are the same as Charles and Charlotte.

A cry is heard from Eden's room and I go in and see Charlotte, my daughter, biting her shirt.

"What happened, Ed?" I ask the slightly older child.

"She fell." Eden tells me. "She hit her head."

I pick Charlotte up and go into the family room.

"Oh. Who's this?" CeCe asks.

"This is Charlotte." Alison tells her and takes the crying baby.

CeCe looks taken aback by the name but quickly recollects herself.

"She sure is cute!" CeCe says. "But where did she get all this dark hair from?" CeCe asks and runs her fingers through Charlotte's small waves.

Charlotte has a look on her face that says, "who-the-hell-are-you? And-why-are-you-touching-me?"

I laugh quietly at Charlotte's face.

I go over and sit next to Aria, Spencer, Hanna, Caleb and Toby.

"That's the girl that was at Radley." I tell them.

"What?!" Hanna shrieks.

Caleb looks confused and Toby has a blank expression on his face.

CeCe, Alison and Jason all look over at us and and Hanna smiles.

"I'm going to go nurse Carter." She tells us and quickly flees the room.

Caleb goes with her and I turn towards Spencer, Toby and Aria.

"I think that's Charles or Charlotte or whoever." Spencer says.

"That's what I was thinking." I say. "I mean...she suddenly shows up after that night?" I ask.

"Shit..." Toby whispers.

"What?" Spencer and I ask in unison.

"The Radley files are still on the counter." He says.

Spencer and my eyes nearly pop out of our heads.

I get up and swiftly walk to the island. How will I hide them without everyone noticing? The family room and kitchen are attached with nothing separating them.

I make sure CeCe isn't looking and then I grab the boxes. I think I grabbed them too quickly because I end up dropping the Bethany files on the floor.

"Are you okay, babe?" Alison chuckles.

"Yep." I smile, popping the 'P' and duck down with the boxes behind the island.

Alison walks over and looks at me confused. She bends down with Charlotte still in her arms and looks me in the eyes.

"What is your problem? Why are you taking the-"
