A/N Ok so this is my first PLL fic so please be kind. I am a big Ezria fan!
Disclaimer: I own nothing! At the moment.
Aria stepped towards the cloakroom to try and get the keys from Ian's jacket pocket when she suddenly stopped. She couldn't help but stare at her boyfriend/teacher as he openly flirted with Simone, her old babysitter. Taking a deep breath she approached and heard them talking about puppets reminding her of her cookie monster. She calmly asked Ezra for Ian's jacket stating that it was her dad's and got the keys, after being humiliated in front of Ezra by Simone. She quickly gave Spencer the keys before heading to the bathroom needing a minute to herself. She took a few calming breaths while standing at the sink before the nausea took over causing her to run to the nearest stall and vomit. "This is really getting old" She said quietly to herself. She had been vomiting on and off for a couple of weeks at all times of the day and couldn't really explain it till she realised that she was late and she immediately went to the doctors, where she confirmed her suspicions – she was PREGNANT.
She had worked out a plan to tell Ezra the day before but he had to meet Simone for coffee and she had chickened out since then. She knew she had to tell him and soon before he became suspicious. After she was finished she stood back up and walked out to the sinks, luckily the bathroom was empty, and rinsed her mouth out and made the plan to get her back so she could get a breath mint to take the taste out of her mouth. She walked back into the hall and saw that Ezra and Simone were no longer at the cloakroom and quickly retrieved her bag and pooping a breath mint before looking back onto the dance floor to find the pair talking excitedly and dancing. The air was sucked out of her chest as she watched them, she realised that she would never be able to do that with Ezra hear in Rosewood and now the situation had changed. He looked happy to be dancing and talking with a beautiful woman who was he own age and that he could act normal and not have to look around and be cautious with a female who, from Aria's point of view, he found attractive.
Without noticing she had tears running down her cheeks as she looked on. "Aria! Honey are you ok? What's the matter honey?" Ella asked as she found her daughter in tears. Aria looked towards her mom and found herself unable to stop her sobs escaping. Ella reacted how any mother would and enveloped her Aria in her arms trying to calm her down but instead Aria's sobs got worse. People around them started to notice and Ella managed to guide Aria towards the cloakroom and into the corner. "Aria? Can you please tell me what's going on? What's got you so upset?" Ella tried to get her to talk but Aria just remained quiet now letting out the occasional sob, tears still running down her cheeks. "Ok let's get you home. I'll get your father to take you home and you can take a shower and then curl up in bed I'll be there soon and we can talk then if you want." Ella said making a decision. "No! I just need a minute then I'll be fine." Aria said strongly not wanting to talk to her mother yet, knowing if she did she would tell her about the pregnancy and she needed to tell Ezra first.
Aria left her mother and headed outside and walked towards Ezra's car and quickly texting him saying she needed to talk to him. As she waited she began humming quietly to herself and automatically putting her hand to her still flat abdomen. "Aria, is everything ok? People were saying you were crying." Ezra asked coming up behind her. Aria turned and Ezra could instantly tell she had indeed been crying. He wanted nothing more than to take her in his arms but there were too many people around that would see them. "I need to tell you something. Something that will change everything." Aria said trying to keep looking at him. "Aria tell me what is it?" Aria took a deep breath and then blurted it out. "I'm pregnant!" To say Ezra was shocked was an understatement. "How? I mean we were careful! You're on birth control right?" "Yeah I was but that only work 99% of the time and I guess we were that 1%." Aria said not knowing what to think of his reaction. "Ok well have you told your parents?" "No I wanted to tell you first. I'm about 4 weeks along." Ezra couldn't do anything he was just frozen on the spot. "Ezra I need you to say something, anything. I'm scared here and this silence isn't helping matters." Aria begged. "I don't know what to say. I can't say everything will be ok because it won't be, I'm going to lose my job and your parents are going to kill me and then your going to be a mother at 16. 16! Aria. That's too young. Are you going to keep it or have an abortion, and if you decide to keep it are you giving it up for adoption or really keeping it and raising it!" Ezra began to ramble and nothing he was saying was helping or comforting her in any way. "What do you want me to do?" Aria said knowing she already knew his answer. "Your too young Aria. We could both be in a lot of trouble we can't risk it. I'm sorry but I think you should have an abortion." Aria took a step back even though she already knew he would say this it hurt so much. "Well I haven't decided but I'll let you know or will I just keep it to myself." Aria said starting to feel angry. "Aria-""No Ezra, you've made it perfectly clear what you want! If I decide to have this baby then you don't need to worry I won't come to you for help but if I decide to have an abortion then I guess you'll be happy. Whatever I decide I think it would be best if we didn't see each other anymore. We can just be teacher and student from now on." Aria said knowing she may be over-reacting but it was how she felt in that moment. "Ok Aria you're probably right." Aria found it odd that he was giving up on them without a fight then it dawned on her. "Oh god! You like Simone don't you this is what you wanted; guess this saves you breaking up with me. Well I hope your both very happy." With that said Aria stormed away before Ezra could say anything.
Aria had walked home feeling that her world had just ended but as she walked into her house she remembered that she had a baby to look after now and she had to decide what to do. She didn't want to make the decision on her own she wanted, no needed help. She couldn't go to her friends they wouldn't understand that left her with only her parents. She determined to tell her parents as soon as they both got home.
Aria's parents had soon arrived home to find Aria and she told them about the pregnancy and made up that the father was a boy at a party she had went to last month and that she didn't know him assuming that he was from out of town or at Hollis college. To say that her parent were surprised was putting it lightly. Byron had been furious at first asking her how she could be so stupid but as soon as he saw his little girl in tears all was forgotten and he said that he would support her no matter her decision. Ella was calmer than Byron and asked Aria what she wanted to do. When she said she didn't know Ella suggested that they both go back to the doctor the next day and get more information about her options. Aria agreed as she was too tired to make any decision that night. Ella stayed at Aria's side till her daughter fell asleep but she stayed a little longer just looking at her remembering her as a baby and her growing up and thinking how mature she was for her age but still making mistakes any other teenager could make. She knew her daughter and knew for a fact that she would keep the baby and knew she would have more growing up to do in the near future.
The next morning and Ella had gotten up early having spent the night in the guest room across from Aria. She called the doctor's office to see if she could make an appointment for Aria that day and luckily they managed to get a cancellation. She got dressed after waking Aria telling her they had to get to the doctor's as soon as possible. Aria dressed in a pair of jeans and a loose fitting top that she paired with her favourite pair of boots. They got the clinic quickly and were taken right away. The options were discussed thoroughly and Aria made her decision. To Ella's surprise she came to the conclusion that an abortion was what was best, an appointment had been made for Monday morning with Aria making sure her mother would be with her all the way through the procedure. The mother-daughter team arrived home to tell Byron the decision and he was supportive telling her everything would be ok. Ella and Byron both made arrangements to be off work and for Aria to be excused from school and prepared for the next day. Aria remained in her room for the rest of the day ignoring her phone and thinking and hoping she made the right decision.
A/N Hope this was ok. I'm not trying to make Ezra the bad guy cause I love him but stay with me. please review all comments and ideas welcome, but don't be too unkind put me off writing other stories before.
