Sorry everybody. I have had not time to right anything, I did finals then I had dance. I am leaving for vacation tomorrow so I might be able to get some writing down. Here's an Ezria one-shot that just kinda popped into my head.

"Really mom, you really want Ezra to come over for dinner." Aria said not quite sure wether to believe her mother or not.

"Yes honey, I want to see you as a couple", Ella responded.

"Let me guess dad will not be joining us."

"Actually, he will."

"Oh great, dad hates Ezra. I mean you see the constipated look dad gives him when his name is mentioned. Why would he ever want to sit through a meal with him?" Aria questioned, hoping her dad changed his mind and decided he won't come to dinner after all.

"I know, deal with it honey its one night." Ella said as she left the room, walking into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Aria pulled her phone out from her pocket and walked upstairs to her room. She plopped down under her bed and scrolled through her contacts till she found 'B-26'. They both decided to keep their contacts to nicknames so that no one would suspect why Aria has a teacher's name in her phone. She clicked his name and brought her phone up to ear.

"Hey babe,' Aria said when Ezra picked up on the second ring.

"What's up sweetheart" Ezra responded.

"My mom invited you to dinner." Aria said not sure what his response was going to be.

"Do I have to?" Ezra whined like a four year old that wanted a toy he saw in a window of a toy store.

"Please, for me." Aria begged.

"Alright fine," Ezra gave in knowing Aria would not give up till she got what she wanted.

A couple hours later, Aria opened the door to a stunning Ezra.

"Hey, you look good." Aria said as she got on her tip toes and gave Ezra a quick kiss on the lips.

"You look so beautiful," Ezra says as he looks into Aria's big hazel eyes. "Mr. Montgomery, this is for you," Ezra says as he hands Byron a bottle of his favorite alcohol.

"Thank you," Byron says as he forces a smile and steps aside so Ezra can walk into the living room. He takes a seat and Aria plops down right next to him. They look over at each other and Ezra places a light kiss on her forehead.

"I love you," he whispers as Ella and her husband enter into the living room with four glasses of wine.

"Ezra, how are you?" Ella questions trying to break the awkward silence by starting a conversation.

"I'm good thank you," Ezra responds as he takes a sip of the wine. All of a sudden, there was a loud clap of thunder followed by a streak of lighting lighting up the porch outside. Aria jumped ever so slightly and Ezra wrapped his arm around her, knowing her fear of storms.

"It's ok he whispered in her ear."

"Dinner's ready," Ella said getting up from her seat next to Byron and yelling up the stairs to Mike. The group followed Mrs. Montgomery into the kitchen and they sat around the table. Everyone was silent and it was awkward once again. As dinner progressed, conversation began to slowly flow, but the storm outside got worse. Ella took a bite of her salad and sighed.

"Ezra, the storm is getting pretty bad you should stay here. It's probably safest."

"No!" Byron yelled outraged.

"He'll stay in the guest room, don't worry." Ella said once Byron sat down, his face still red. Aria smiled slightly and Ezra grabbed her hand under the table. After dinner, everyone was in the living room about to watch a movie. Aria sat in the chair curled up into Ezra's side, as he got disapproving looks from Mr. Montgomery. As the movie completed Ezra looked down when he heard the little soft snores coming from Aria. He smiled and kissed the top of her head. He lightly shook her to wake her up. They kissed on the lips quickly while Aria stood on the first step of the staircase.

"I love you beautiful." Ezra said.

"I love you more," Aria said with a huge grin. Ezra laughed slightly and headed to the guest room.

The storm continued to get worse. Flooding the streets ever so slightly. Sometime in the middle of the night Ella heard tiny whimpers coming from Aria's room. She got out of the bed and padded across the hall. She oped the door ever sos lightly and pouted. She hated seeing her daughter upset and knew that the storm probably had something to do with it.

"Shhh. It's just rain sweetie." Ella said as she tried to soothe her daughter as she sat on the edge of the bed. She ran her hand up and down her back telling her everything will be ok and that the storm will pass. She finally thought of an idea but she thought Byron would hate it and she didn't approve of it.

"Want me to get Ezra." She asked wincing, afraid to here her answer. She didn't really want her daughter's ex-teacher/boyfriend and her colleague in her bed, but she knew that would calm her down.

"Yes," Aria answered lightly barely audible. She sniffles lightly and Ella exits the room.

Ezra lays in bed awake worried for Aria and her fear of storms. He hears a light knock and at first he just thought it was a branch brushing against the window, but then it happens again. He slowly crawls out of bed throwing on his jeans that he wadded up in a pile beside the bed. He opened the door to a tired looking Ella.

"Ella, what can I do for you?" He asks feeling awkward standing their shirtless in front of his girlfriend's mom.

"Aria is afraid of the storm, she would like to see you." Ezra breathed a sigh of relief. It's not the worse the could've happened. He followed her up the stairs, following her lead to avoid the couple of steps the squeaked whenever you stepped in a certain spot. When they've reached the top of the stairs, Ella leaves to go back to bed. Ezra on the other hand, quietly opens to door to see Aria curled up under about five blankets, facing the wall, whimpering as quietly as she could.

"Aria baby, you're okay. I'm here now." Ezra says putting his hand on Aria's upper arm. She slowly sits up and throws her arms around his neck. Ezra slowly removes his jeans and folds them nicely before placing them on her chair. He crawls into her bed, and Aria immediately migrates closer to him. Snuggling into his side. He whispers comforting words into her ear while placing kisses on the top of her head once in a while. Aria soon falls asleep, but Ezra can't bare to wake her up. Ezra walks into her daughter's room an hour later and sees Aria cuddled in Ezra's strong grasp, both soundly asleep. She smiles to herself and shuts the door going to bed herself. Whenever Aria would wake, Ezra would rub her back and within minutes she would be asleep again.

I'll try to update as much as i can. Please comment, I want to know what you guys think.

Kisses,
