A/N: Since I had an idea for the next chapter, I figured I would write it while it was still in my memory.


Chapter 2

Ezra's POV

September 2016...

Ever since that night, we had been working on getting things in order to expand our family. The first thing was looking for a house. We wanted somewhere close to Aria's parents. At first, there wasn't anything available. But then my mom came through for us. She wanted to move into an apartment in New York. She loved Pennsylvania, but loved NYC better. She rented the house to us, that way we wouldn't have to worry about a mortgage.

Her new apartment was finally ready by the end of August, so we moved in as she moved out. Alice and Tristan were happy to have their own rooms. We were happy to have more space. With Mr. and Mrs. Montgomery only two minutes away, it made the move easier. Mrs. Montgomery would take the twins to school while Mr. Montgomery, Mike and I moved our stuff in. Aria was in school, so I made sure that she had as much time as possible to focus.

It was mid-September by the time we got the house settled. All the rooms were furnished, decorated, and organized. Aria walked into the door one evening, flopping down onto the couch.

"Long day?" I asked as I walked into the living room.

She grunted, meaning 'yes'.

"I made dinner. I'll take you upstairs then I'll warm up your food."

I picked her up before she could protest. I gently placed her on the bed, putting the comforter over her. I walked down to the kitchen and quickly made her food. By the time I got back upstairs, she had fallen asleep. I went back down the stairs and put her plate in the microwave. She usually woke up in the middle of the night and ate.


Aria's POV

I woke up, looking for my phone. I knew it was the middle of the night, because it was pitch dark, but I didn't know exactly what time it was. I turned on the light on the nightstand. Thankfully Ezra is a heavy sleeper. I looked around the room until I found it on the dresser. After I pressed the hold button, the screen displayed the time 2:21 AM. I pulled out a pair of pajamas and quickly changed into them.

That's been my routine lately. I come home from class, crash on the couch, wake up to find myself on my bed, get ready for bed, eat, go look at the twins as they sleep, and go back to bed. Each time, before I close my eyes, I look at Ezra as his chest rises and falls. I'm thankful every day that he made me his wife. He's been my rock, even when we were just friends.

When I woke up the next morning, I found Ezra's side of the bed empty. I slow sat up, trying to get my bearings. My vision cleared up for a moment before blurring again. As soon as it cleared up, I felt sick to the pit of my stomach. I ran to the bathroom, vomiting as soon as I lifted the toilet seat.

"Aria?" I heard in the distance.

I felt Ezra's hand on my shoulder.

"Aria? Are you okay?"

All I could do was groan in response. I couldn't tell if I was fine or not. Everything just blended in together. I could tell I was being moved back to the bed. I soon felt his hand against my forehead.

"You're burning up," he said. I could hear the panic in his voice. I heard his footsteps become softer and softer as he walked away. I felt a coolness on my forehead.

"I'm going to call your mom to watch after you while I get the kids ready for school."

As his footstep disappeared again, I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

"Aria? Sweetie?" I heard my mom say as my eyes slowly opened up.

I slowly began to sit up.

"You should rest," she told me with a motherly tone.

"I gotta go get the kids," I told her, trying to get back up.

"Ezra's going to get them," she placed the back of her hand on my forehead, "You're not as warm as you were. Do you feel any better?"

"I-I guess. I'm not as dizzy. I'm still nauseous."

"I'll go get you some ginger ale and crackers. Will you be okay here by yourself?"

"Yeah. I'll be fine."

She smiled at me before leaving the room. She hadn't gotten to the end of the hall when it dawned on me, "Mom! What day is it?"

"Um, September 21st."

My eyes grew wide as it really, really dawned on me. I looked to see my mom standing at the doorway.

"While you're at the store, could you get me a few pregnancy tests?"


A/N: I know, I'm mean for putting a cliff-hanger this early. ;) I promise you will know soon. I hope you enjoyed this installment. :) Please continue to read and review!
