Emily Fields Ultimate Character Guide: Relationships, Secrets, and Faq
By Robert Thorne
During the Season 6 time-jump, Emily hit rock bottom. Following the death of her father Wayne from a heart condition, Emily dropped out of Pepperdine University, exhausted her inheritance funds, and took a job bartending. Desperate for money, she underwent medical procedures to donate her eggs to an anonymous donor clinic.
In Season 7, the antagonistic entity known as "A.D." stole Emily's harvested eggs from the clinic. In a chilling violation of bodily autonomy, the villain artificially inseminated Alison while she was involuntarily committed at Welby State Psychiatric Hospital.
The revelation bound Emily and Alison together through circumstance before romantic intention took over. Alison decided to carry the pregnancy to term, and Emily committed to raising the children as a co-parent. In the series finale, Alison gave birth to twin daughters, Lily and Grace. The biological father was subsequently revealed to be Wren Kingston, whom A.D. (Alex Drake) had murdered and turned into an eternity stone necklace. The pair ended the main series engaged, providing fans with a domestic resolution to an otherwise harrowing premise.
