Knock. Knock. Ezra heard the door. He assumed it was the sweet lady in the apartment next to him who always forgets her keys. Oh it must be Mrs. Carlson, from across the hall; she always forgets her keys at least once a week. He thought. Grabbing the key off of the hook near the door, he opened the door. 'Hey, this might sound cheesy but I was in the neighborhood.' 'Maggie, hey how are you come in' Ezra said surprised and a little nervous. 'I have to tell you something Ezra, and I couldn't do it over the phone' Maggie said stammering. 'Since I was in the neighborhood I decided to tell you now'. She said hoping Ezra would understand. 'Okay Maggie, sit down' Ezra said gesturing her to sit. 'Ezra, remember when your mother gave me the money to fix our problem?' Maggie asked. 'Yeah' Ezra said wondering what she was going with this. 'Well I didn't take care of it, I kept the baby.' Maggie confessed. 'What?' Ezra couldn't believe his ears, his mind went blank and he felt like he couldn't breathe. He finally got enough breath to say 'I have a nine year old child, how could you not tell me.' Ezra said almost furious. "I went to the clinic like I was supposed to, but I couldn't do it…..I just couldn't Maggie explained. 'I had to protect myself from you, from your mom.' 'From me?' Ezra said alarmed. 'You just abandoned me, with your mom; I was confused and scared and you just left. 'My mom said she'd take care of it , i was afraid too, i didn't know what to do. 'His name is Malcom, and he Is the best thing that i have ever done, i don't regret it. Maggie said relieved. 'Well can i see him?' Ezra asked Maggie. 'I don't know Ezra i can't..' Hey Ezra, i brought you some... Oh i didn't know you had company. Aria said bursting in Ezra's apartment. 'Amy?' Maggie asked Aria confused. 1'This is Aria, my girlfriend.' Ezra introduced Aria. 'I have to tell you something , Ezra. Aria hurried. 'I have to tell you something too.' 'Me first.' Aria said. 'Can we talk alone.?' 'Yeah' Walking in the hallway, Aria wished she followed Hanna's advice. 'What's wrong , Aria ?' Ezra asked 'i went to Delaware to see, Maggie.' What!' Ezra said surprised. 'And i knew you had a son.' 'How could you lie to me?' 'You keep saying i'm always keeping secrets but you have me beat.' Ezra condemned Aria. 'Ezra, i'm sorry, i regret not telling you.' Aria said feeling guilty. 'I have to get back to Maggie, we'll talk later.' Ezra said slamming his front door. Aria couldn't believe this was happening.
