Aria fiddled with the rings on her fingers as she watched Spencer typing up a storm. Even though it was nine o'clock at night, Spencer was still working. Aria gulped and got up from the couch. "You almost done? You've been working for hours." Spencer turned and gave a gentle glare. "At least take a break, babe. Come on, I'll make some tea."

Spencer sighed and scooted her desk chair back. She could feel that something was something on Aria's mind and knew Aria was about to open up. Spencer walked into the kitchen and sat at the island, watching as her life partner put two tea bags into two cups. She placed them on the table and sat down across from Spencer. Each girl took a few sips before Spencer started prying. "What's on your mind?"

Aria shrugged, "It's nothing. Well, it is something, but…"

Spencer placed a hand on Aria's. "What's on your mind?" Spencer repeated.

Aria bounced her legs up and down, confession sitting heavy on her tongue. "I wanna have a baby," Aria spilled. Spencer and she had talked about it a few times since they initially got together, but it was always a down-the-road type subject. This time, Aria wanted to have a baby now.

Spencer spit out a little of her tea and wiped her mouth. "Well, we've talked about this before…" Aria exhaled and squeezed Spencer's hand. "This time I mean it. I want a baby now."

"What brought this on?" Spencer questioned, narrowing her gaze.

Aria shrugged again. "I don't know, I've just been thinking about it. And I've just gotten these signs like I should be having a baby." Spencer rolled her eyes. "Spence, I'm serious. I want this. I've wanted it for years and it just seems right now. You're at a very well-paying job, I'm pretty constant at mine. It just seems like it's the time to do this."

Spencer pulled her hands back and folded them in her lap. "It does seem like a good time. If you want to, we can start looking at adoption agencies tomorrow."

Aria bit her lip. "I don't… want to do that." Spencer cocked her head. "What do you mean?"

Aria looked Spencer straight in the eye, "With adoption, it takes time and money. And we wouldn't be able to feel the baby kick or actually have the baby. We wouldn't have those pregnancy memories. I guess what I'm saying is, I want to carry the baby."

Spencer rested her head in her hand and replied, "Are you sure? We talked about adoption before and I thought we were on the same page about it?"

"That was then," Aria argued. "When I say I want to have a baby, I also want to have the experience of having a baby."

Spencer muttered, "So you would want to carry it? What about me?"

"You could carry the next one!"

"The next one? How many do you want?" Spencer asked. Some days Aria wanted one child, then other days she wanted to recreate Cheaper by the Dozen.

"I don't know, three?" Aria thought out loud.

"Why can't I carry the first one?" Spencer asked indignantly. Aria stared her down and explained, "Well, you travel for your job and you're always busy and so stressed. It wouldn't be okay. Also, you couldn't give caffeine up right now." Spencer could tell how much Aria wanted this, so she silently gave in. Fine, she could have the next child.

"And you're sure right now is the right time?"

"Yes, Spencer," Aria nodded. "I'm twenty-five. When my mom was my age, I was in preschool with a brother on the way. I want to start a family as soon as possible."

Spencer pursed her lips, still curious as to why Aria was so gung ho about all this all of a sudden, but just nodded. "What would we do? In vitro? Isn't that really expensive?"

Aria played with her hair and answered, "Sort of. It's cheaper than adoption, though. I looked it up and IVF is anywhere from ten to twenty thousand dollars."

Spencer smiled, "When did you look it up?"

"I've had some time," Aria winked. "I really, really want this."

"I hear you," Spencer said, getting up and walking over to aria's side of the table. "We'll try to start this as soon as we can. We have some money saved up and I'm sure my parents can spare a few thousand bucks."

Aria's eyes filled with overjoyed tears and she threw her arms around Spencer. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!"

"Whatever makes you happy," Spencer said simply, pulling back. Aria kissed her and threw her arms around her once more. "I love you so much."

Spencer laughed, "I love you, too. Now let me go, I still have to send a few more emails for work."

"Fine," Aria giggled reluctantly. "We're having a baby!" she exclaimed.

(A/N:) Hi! This was just a little something I had been playing around with for a while and it was going to be a one shot, but I have decided to make it a multichapter. I hope you all like it! Also, I apologize in advance if I make any medical mistakes in later chapters. Please review!
