A/N: I wrote the last chapter a few hours before the episode aired so it was completely based off of what I thought was going to happen! I was so happy to know I was right! haha! But my ending will definatly be different! Stay tuned and enjoy!

How Could You Do This?

"I'm so sorry, Ezra. I shouldn't have kept it a secret from you. I put Aria in such an awful position so I understand if you never want to talk to me again," Maggie said over the phone. It was about an hour after Ezra had left Rosewood High. Once he got home, he sat on his couch with a beer and cried. He couldn't believe that 1) he had a son, and 2) he broke up with Aria, the love of his life.

"His name is Malcom?" Ezra changed the subject from Aria. He didn't want to cry while Maggie was on the phone.

"Yeah. He looks just like you. The same eyes," Maggie told him. She, herself, felt pretty crappy for making Aria lie to Ezra. It was just like high school all over again. She was the guilty one.

"Why didn't you tell me? When I first called you, on my birthday?" he wondered. Maggie sighed, knowing this was coming.

"I didn't want to spring it on you. I didn't want your mother finding out that I didn't get an abortion and I didn't want you worrying about me," Maggie admitted. Ezra was confused. Maggie was sixteen and pregnant and she didn't want her boyfriend-at-the-time to get involved? For a smart girl, she wasn't making much sense. "And I'm sorry about Aria. I thought it was the right thing to do. She was actually the one who wanted to tell you in the first place and I convinced her to keep quiet."

Ezra was in shock. Aria was the innocent one and Maggie was the criminal. Then again, he never let Aria tell him her side of the story. Maybe if he hadn't been in such a rage, he would've had more time to process what was going on.

"I would ask you to come down, to meet him. But you probably hate me right now, so..." Maggie's sentence drifted off. They were both silent for a moment.

"I want to come," Ezra said suddenly. "I want to meet my son. I can come tonight. I'll be there tomorrow." he rambled on. Maggie thought he sounded desperate to get out of Rosewood.

"Ezra, can I ask you something? If you don't want to answer it, just tell me,"

"Sure,"

"Did you get in a fight with Aria? Are you angry at her?" Maggie asked. Ezra took a breath. He knew this would come up eventually.

"I am. And we had a fight and now I'm regretting everything. I yelled at her, didn't let her speak and I broke up with her," he let out in one breath. It was nice to get all of it out, even if it was to his old high school sweetheart. He knew he was wrong and he could feel the tears coming back to him. "Um.. Maggie? I'll call you later."

Ezra hung up, not letting Maggie get another word in. He didn't want to delay anything.

Aria arrived at Ezra's apartment eager and scared. On the phone, Ezra sounded miserable. Maybe he talked to Maggie and he was going to appologize. If Maggie actually told him the truth about her role in forcing Aria to keep the secret. She knocked quietly and looked down and her shoes, not really wanting to look him in the eye after what happened earlier. The lock clicked and the door squeaked open. Ezra stood there, hesitating before inviting her in. He had two suitcases next to the chair. He shut the door and Aria stood next to the couch.

"I talked to Maggie. She told me that she put you in an unfair position and that she's sorry," Ezra spoke, breaking an awkward silence. Aria nodded her head, still not speaking. "Aria, I'm so sorry. I was mad and confused and scared. I wanted to belive that you wouldn't lie to me but you did."

"But I did. And then you yelled at me before I got a word out," she whimpered. She crossed her arms around her chest, staring straight at Ezra without blinking.

"I'm sorry! I want to be with you and I hate fighting with you. Please forgive me?"

Aria remembered a similar moment, one where Ezra was asking for forgivness in a dark car. She knew she had to resist him this time. He hurt her and left her crying at school. "No," she said quietly.

Ezra took a step closer to her, having to tilt his head down to see her face. "Please, forgive me," Aria opened her mouth to say something and Ezra took a chance. He swooped down and kissed her on the lips. It wasn't forceful but it was full of emotion and lost passion that had been missing ever since Maggie came back into his life.

A/N: One more chapter! Or maybe two... depending on what I do with this for the next chapter :) Thanks for the reviews!
