5 years ago…

Ezra left Aria staring at his back as he walked away. He couldn't take not being able to be exclusive with her anymore. He wanted to hold her hand walking down the street, kissing her as he pleased whenever and wherever or even telling everyone that they were together. He wanted a normal relationship. Being with Aria felt like Romeo & Juliet; Romantic but tragic. Little did he know he wasn't just leaving Aria but she was 4 months pregnant with his child and Aria never got her chance to tell Ezra.

Present Time.

5 years was enough time. She missed her family and friends and she missed her home. Aria decided after she graduated from high school to leave to New York. She wanted a fresh start. She was now heading back to Rosewood, just her, her daughter and Noel Khan. Noel was a jerk in high school but when Aria got pregnant and was alone he was there for her. Noel hated Ezra but he didn't hate that Sophie was born. They weren't dating but they became best friends. He left to New York with her so she wasn't alone.

"Are you sure you want to go back home? What if you run into him? Then what?" Noel questioned Aria

He wanted to make sure she was making the right choice before she made a mistake.

"Yeah its time. I miss everyone and I cant hide from him forever. Im better now, Im a writer, I have a beautiful daughter and I can take care of myself. I don't need him. But I think I want him." She said

"so your saying you want to move back because you want to get him back?" Noel was concerned

"NO. Im going home because I miss my family and friends and if I happen to run into Ezra , IDK.. Maybe I do miss him too but I wont run back to him so easily. But lets just keep that between us. My story is I miss my friends and family. " Aria replied.

Coming from the backseat was a little girl sound a sleep. She was a carbon copy of her father. She had his eyes, his curls and nose. She got her mothers mouth and attitude.

After 3 and a half hours of driving they had finally arrived at Aria's parents home. Her mother had moved to Austria with her husband Zack, Byron moved to Iceland to teach and Mike stayed home for college. He didn't want his familys home to be sold to someone else. Mike was in his junior year of college and had a girlfriend he'd been dating for the past 2 years.

Mike didn't know Aria was coming home so as he was making out with his girlfriend on the couch he jumped when Sophie ran into the house staring at him.

"Uncle Mike! What are you doing? You cant hurt her!" Sophie yelled and pouted crossing her arms.

Annabelle started to snicker at the little girls comment. They have never met before.

To Sophie she was Mike's only girl. Mike was had his back turned so Sophie didn't know what he was doing.

"Hi princess, I didn't know you were coming home?" Mike trying to change the subject

"It's a supwise!" Sophie yelled and hopped on his lap

Aria walked in and Mike gave her a WTH look.

"Hello little brother. Im home!" Aria said smiling

"Thanks for the heads up. Someone walked in on something that was about to happen." Mike smirked at his comment

"Uncle Mike who's this?" Sophie said pointing at Annabelle

"This is my girlfriend sweetheart, her name is Annabelle." Mike replied

After asking her question Sophie ignored it didn't even wait for an answer she got distracted from looking out the window seeing other kids play with their parents.

All she wondered was why she never met her dad.

Aria never talked to Sophie about Ezra much. All she said was she looked like her dad and was as smart as him. Sophie started reading at the age of 3. She loved to listen to her mother read stories at night so Aria and Noel started to teach Sophie to read at a young age. They wanted her to learn early.

Noel walked in and saw where Sophie was looking at. " Hey Soph, want to lend me a hand start grabbing stuff out the car. Noel knew she couldn't help much but when she started thinking of her dad it would make Aria cry at night.

"Okay Uncle Noel! But I'll beat you there!" Sophie ran out to the car as fast as her short legs could go

After unpacking all the stuff from the car everyone felt exhausted and went straight to bed. Mike in his room, Noel back at his parent's old house, Sophie in her mother's old room and Aria in her parents room.
