A week had passed and Aria and Ezra were on their way home from the hospital. Ezra was given a clean bill of health and given strict instructions to stay off of his feet for a few days. Ezra showed no signs of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder but the doctor informed Aria that it usually hit a few weeks to months later and to be prepared for it.
"Is there anything I can get for you?" Aria asked Ezra who was lying on their bed with his head leaned against the backboard.
"Aria, I'm fine you need to take it easy." Ezra told Aria as he put his hand on her stomach.
"Ezra, the doctor said to take it easy and you have to be on bed rest for the next week so I'm your legs. Besides me and the baby are both fine." Aria said as she put her hands on Ezra's hand. "Now do you need anything?"
"A kiss." Ezra smirked. Aria leaned down and kissed Ezra having him pull her closer. After a few moments Ezra released Aria before running his hands through her hair. "You know when I was gone I missed your smile the most." Ezra said making Aria blush.
"Now that you have your kiss is there anything else that you need?" Aria asked from Ezra's grip.
"Well that hospital food plain out sucked, so do you want to order Chinese and then whenever it comes you can come join me in bed and we can watch a movie?" Ezra asked Aria who stood up and started for the door.
"That sounds like a great idea." Aria said as she walked across the room.
"And Aria." Ezra stated from his place on the bed. "I love you."
"I love you too." Aria said before walking out the door towards the kitchen.
Once Aria made her way to the kitchen to order the Chinese she began to lose it, she knew Ezra was holding back and that he had to be affected by what had happened. She feared the day when he would break down and lose it. Tears streamed down her face as the thought of Ezra not ever being the guy she married overtook her mind.
*PLL*
"How's Ezra doing?" Ella asked Aria the next morning. She had come over to check on the two of them and decided to bring breakfast.
"That's the thing, he's doing amazing. He acts like nothing happened and that he's fine. The only thing he's worried about is me and the baby of course." Aria told her mother from her place across the table.
"You heard the doctors it may take everything a few months to set in. He is probably still in a state of shock. Just make sure to be there for him. If he wants to give you some attention then let him. He did miss three weeks of your pregnancy, which in husband world is a lot." Ella told Aria.
1'1i'm scared mom. What if I wake up one day and he's not the same man I fell in love with and married." Aria asked her mother truthfully, wiping away a tear.
"In sickness and health, for better or for worse you guys said those vows to each other for times like this. Besides if you can get through all the stuff you've been through over the years than you can make it through anything." Ella reassured her, before wiping away her tears.
"Everything is so great right now that I'm just afraid it's all going to blow up in my face." Aria told her mother who got up and walked over and enveloped her daughter into a hug.
"Honey everything will be okay. You have a little one on the way and the love of a father for his child can not even be put into words." Ella reassured Aria.
*PLL*
"How are you feeling today?" Aria asked Ezra when he had finally woken up about an hour later.
:Really bored." Ezra said as he struggled to get up. "Oh and really sore too." He added.
"You need your rest, besides in less than a week you can probably get up and do things again. I need you to be healthy and strong for when our baby gets here." Aria told Ezra before climbing over and kissing him.
"Believe me I will be back to my old self by the time our baby gets here." Ezra told Aria pulling her into his side and hugging her close.
"Can you believe it Ezra, in a little over six months we will have our first baby." Aria said to Ezra looking up at him.
"I can't wait baby." Ezra said placing his hand on Aria's stomach, a thing he found himself doing a lot lately. He looked over and saw tears beginning to form in Aria's eyes. "Hey what's wrong?"
"I was afraid you were never coming home. I was afraid I would have to raise this baby alone." Aria told him trying not to cry.
"Shh." Ezra cooed to her. "I'm here now and I'm never leaving you again. I'm so sorry I left you, but I will always be here for you as long as I live. I love you more than everything in the entire universe." Ezra said as he wrapped his arms around Aria even tighter.
"I just never want to lose you. It was so hard not knowing if I would ever see you again." Aria told Ezra as she gripped his shirt into her hands trying not to hurt him at the same time.
"Baby look at me that is in the past, we are together now and I am never leaving you again. Stop thinking about those terrible three weeks and think of the future and our child and how happy we are all going to be. Their first words, first steps, the first day of school. We will be there for all of that." Ezra said as he wiped the last few tears from Aria's cheeks and coaxed her into a deep slumber. "I love you so, so much." Ezra whispered once she was asleep, with a few tears of his own falling.
A/N: Sorry for the lateness but I started my senior year of college and life has been crazy. I also have been kind of stuck and not really feeling writing lately, but I've been moreso in the mood this past week. Please forgive me for being such a terrible author. Read and Review and let me know what you want to happen.
