Aria POV
Not once did I ever think that I, Aria Montgomery, would fall in love with her high school AP English teacher. However, here I am, 20 years old and 3 months pregnant with our first child. So far the pregnancy was treating me well, I hadn't had bad morning sickness and I was slowly adjusting to my swelling abdomen. I was so unbelievably happy with Ezra and our little growing bundle of joy. Of course, my parents weren't so happy but I had moved out when I was 18 and me and Ezra got our own apartment in California and I had started college. Ezra had applied to several teaching jobs in the local colleges and, of course, avoided the one that I had enrolled at. I had my weekend job at the local bookstore/coffee place. I could not be happier.
It was Saturday morning and me and Ezra lay awake in bed. I was in one of Ezra's t-shirt's and he was in a pair of pyjama pants with his toned chest exposed. He was tracing circles on my stomach with his fingers and every so often leaning over and kissing my forehead. I had booked the day off of work because I had an ultrasound scan today. Today was the day we found out if we were having a little prince or a little princess. I looked up into Ezra's steel blue eyes. I was so in love with this man and I'm so lucky to call him mine. Together we created the little life growing inside of me and I wouldn't change it for anything! I leaned up and kissed Ezra on the cheek and got up to go for a shower. We had to be at the doctor's surgery at 1 and it was currently 10am. I sauntered off to the shower and got the water to just the right temperature. I moaned as the warm water hit my aching body. Following my shower, I dried off and got into my white, floral dress and put on my white converse alongside it with my frilly socks. Although the outfit made me look a couple years younger than I actually was it complimented my slight swollen stomach just nicely. I make my way over to the kitchen knowing that Ezra will want a coffee when he wakes up. That was the only thing that I missed whilst I was pregnant, I wasn't allowed to drink any coffee so I had to drink fruit tea which quite frankly just wasn't the same. Whilst I was waiting for the coffee machine to brew I decided to start making some waffles for our breakfast. I heard the shower water go off signalling to me that Ezra was out of the shower and he would be joining me in the kitchen shortly.
Ezra POV
I threw on a pair of dark jeans and one of Aria's favourite polo shirts and joined her in the kitchen. When I got there she didn't realise I was behind her and she was singing some country music. I snuck behind her a put my arms around her waist. She spun round and linked her arms around the back of my neck and I kissed her deeply. Our tongues battled for dominance and Aria moaned into my mouth. When we both needed some air she spun around to make sure that our waffles weren't burnt. She placed them on a plate with some strawberries and blackberries and handed me my coffee. 'Thank-you gorgeous! This looks lovely!' I kissed her forehead before sitting down on the opposite end of the breakfast bar.
Once we had finished our breakfast and cleared everything away we hopped in the car and headed towards the doctor's. Aria held my hand whilst the other rested on her little baby bump and she rested her forehead against the window and was staring at the outside. Her legs were going ten to the dozen and constantly jumping up and down. I could tell that she was nervous and I knew that I needed to calm her nerves down before we got to the doctor's surgery. 'Baby, calm down okay? Today is the day that we get to see what gender our little bump is.' I smiled at her rubbing her leg gently to reassure her that everything was going to be okay. She turned to face me in her seat and leaned over to kiss me on the cheek. She ran her hand, which was resting on her bump, through her hair and took a deep breath. That was a good sign, a sign she was beginning to calm down! 'Ezra, I've been thinking about baby names and how I wanted to name them if it's a boy? What do you think about Joshua Hudson Fitz?'
'Sweetie that is such a gorgeous name for a little boy! I was up all night thinking what I would name our little princess and I think I've decided on Elysia Mai Kacey-Leigh Fitz. What do you think?' I glanced over to her and noticed that her eyes were welling up. All of a sudden my body tensed. Since she was younger Aria has struggled with panic attacks and normally they started with her crying. 'Babe, are you okay?' I asked her, a worried tone laced within my voice.
'That is the most perfect name for a little princess! I absolutely love it Ezra! I love you so much! How did I get so lucky to find you?' she sniffled at me. I brought her hand up to my mouth and lay kisses on her knuckles. 'I love you too sweetheart, and our little bundle of joy growing inside you. We are going to be the best little family around I promise.'
30 minutes later we had parked in the parking lot and were making our way into the surgery. My heart was pounding out of my chest and I could hear Aria's breathing increase and become heavier. Before we made it in I could see the obvious signs of one of her anxiety attacks rolling in. I pulled her to the side and sat her down on the bench holding her hand. I cradled her in my arms listening out for her soft sobs to start. Around 3 minutes later they had started and that's when I knew that this wasn't going to be easy. Due to her pregnancy we had to withdraw her anxiety medication but it meant that all of her feeling and emotions were heightened and so anything could set off her attacks. I whispered in her ear reassuring her that she was safe and this was all going to be over. Her hands went and she gripped onto her hands and tried pulling at her hair.
'I can't do it Ezra. I'm so tired now. What if this baby doesn't love me or I'm not a good mother' Aria repeatedly sobbed. Over and over again. I brusher her hair out of her eyes and whispered in her ear that she was going to be okay and soon enough she had calmed down. Admittedly her hair was all over the place and her eyes all red and puffy but nonetheless she was stunning. Once she had properly calmed down and sorted out her hair and the shaking had gotten a little better we slowly made our way into the waiting room and I booked us in. Eventually we were called into the scan room, I got up and held aria's handing gently brushing the back of it with my thumbs, letting her know that this was going to be all okay.
