A/N: so there's a bit Ezra in here…

"Aria! Aria!" Aria woke up with Malcolm's voice. She was about to smile, but when she saw that Malcolm's face was a little bit tensed, or maybe afraid, she quickly got up and asked him, "What's wrong?"

"There's someone here." Malcolm said.

"Who? Did they see you?" Aria asked.

"Yes, it was a lady, and she looks a bit like you." Malcolm explained.

"How di-" Aria was cut off by the knock on the door.

"Aria? I know you're in there. It's okay honey, it's just me." It was Ella's voice.

Aria stood up but Malcolm held her arm and mouthed the words, "Please, no"

And Aria said, "It's okay."

Malcolm hugged Aria and hid his face.

"Come in mom." Aria said. When Ella opened the door, Malcolm hugged her tightly.

"oh, is this-" Ella pointed to the both of them.

"Mom." Aria stared at her mother with her 'please- not- now- look'.

"Umm, hi there buddy, no worries, I'm Aria's mom, Ella."

Malcolm looked at Aria and Aria nodded. He let go of his embrace and introduced himself.

"I'm Malcolm." He shook hands with Ella.

"hey, umm, why don't we go down for breakfast." Ella said. But when Mlacolm was about to go out of the room, he asked them, "How about you?"

"We'll be there for a sec." Ella said.

When they heard Malcolm was already at the stairs, they started conversation.

"I- I –I can explain." Aria said.

"Was that-" Ella took a breath, "Ezra's son?"

"Yes." Aria said.

"Well does Ezra knows that he's here?" Ella asked.

"No mom, Malcolm's mom isn't what you think she is,"

"How? What?" Ella was a bit confused.

"Malcolm's mom, Maggie, is abusing him. You saw it a while ago, he was afraid of you. Oh and, if you're looking for proof, you can see his bruises all around his body." Aria explained.

"So, what are you saying?" Ella sighed.

"I'm saying that maybe, Maggie is using Malcolm to get more money from Ezra's family." Aria said, a little tensed.

"Whoa, calm down honey, so, does he know about Ezra being his father?" Ella asked.

"No, not yet. But by what his mother told him, he should act nice when Ezra comes around their house. That's why he walked away from there." Aria said, sitting on the bed.

"Hey, I know you're protecting Malcolm, but you ave to let Ezra know about this." Ella said, sitting beside her daughter.

"But, how about Maggie?" Aria said, with a little tear forming in ner eyes.

"You're not 'gonna tell it to Magiie, you're 'gonna tell it to Ezra." Ella said, hugging Aria.

Before going to school, Aria texted Ezra that he knows where Malcolm is.

Ezra knocked in front of the Montgomery's house impatiently. After a few seconds, Ella opened the door with a stunned look.

"Hi there, I was hoping to find Aria." Ezra said, looking for Aria behind Ella. But instead of Aria, he found Malcolm, he's son.

"Uh, she's no—" Ela was cut off by Ezra.

"Is that my son over there?" Ezra looked at Ella who was just staring at him. He forced himself inside and saw Malcolm who was watching T.V.

"Malcolm." Ezra's eyes begin to tear.

But instead of Malcolm running into Ezra's arms, he ran to Ella.

"It's okay buddy, Ezra is your daddy." Ella looked down at him.

"No, I don't believe him. I want Aria." Malcolm said.

"Hey, it's alright," Ezra looked at his son. About time, Aria opened the door.

"I'm ho—" but before she completed the greeting, Malcolm ran to her and she saw Ezra standing inside their house.

"Aria, what is this?" Ezra said with a furious look, "All along, he was here?"

"Ezra please, does Maggie know you're here?" Aria asked.

"Yes, and I'm calling her right now." Ezra said, dialing on his phone.

A/N: to answer some of the questions; no, Ezra is not a bad person in here we just need to wait until he knows what really happened to his kid and Aria…. Well what do you think?
