— Spencer to Paige, about Emily
| ||
Spemily is the friendship pairing name for Spencer Hastings and Emily Fields. Spencer and Emily have a strong 'mother-daughter relationship, while being best friends. Spencer is always caring, concerned, and fiercely protective of Emily. She always thinks of Emily first and makes decisions based on her best interest. They both would do anything for each other.
Background[]
Spencer has always been protective of Emily because she thought that Toby and Paige were dangerous and didn't want her getting hurt. She had gone to Coach Fulton after Paige made fun of Emily being gay. She was also supportive of Emily coming out and dating Maya , because at the dance-a-thon, she tried cheering her up when Maya left for True North. Spencer had also allowed Maya to come over to see Emily before she had to leave. Emily and Spencer have always been there for each other when they really needed someone. Emily knew that A was going after Toby, so she had helped Spencer end things to keep him safe. When Ian had almost killed Spencer, she had called Emily first and Emily came to help her. And when Maya's body was found, Emily cried into Spencer's arms while she comforted her. Spencer also told Emily that she broke up with Toby and Emily helps her get through it.
