A/N:Y'all are amazing! Over 100 reviews! Thanks! Anyways, Here's the next chapter.

"Aria, are you sure you don't want us to stay?" Spencer asked again. "I mean, I could easily use my pregnancy as an excuse and stay with you."

"Spence, I'll be fine." Aria assured. "Go on."

"Ar, I just don't want you to spend Christmas all alone."

"Yeah, we can stay here with you. It wouldn't be a problem." Toby added.

"Guys" Aria smiled. "Really, I'm ok staying here by myself. Besides, if you don't go, they will know something is up."

"I guess, but I just don't want you to be alone."

"Spence. I'll be fine. I promise."

"Ok." Spencer replied, pulling her into a hug. "But I'll be back early."

"Have fun." Aria told them.

Spencer smiled and nodded. Both Spencer and Toby headed towards the door with all the Christmas presents in hand.

"If you need anything, please call us." Toby said.

"Thanks. Merry Christmas." Aria said before shutting the door.

As much as she told Spencer she would be fine, she knew this wasn't true. It hurt her that she couldn't spend Christmas with Ezra, her daughter, parents, and friends. She was so close to them yet so far away. Sighing, she walked into the kitchen, fixing herself a salad and went back out to the living room. She honestly didn't know what to do so she turned on the TV, hoping to find something that would maybe take her mind off of everything.


"Olivia, didn't I tell you to pick up your toys?" Ezra asked sternly as he was coming down the stairs.

Since the morning, with the unwrapping and discoveries of Santa's presents, the living room was filled with new toys. Ezra knew he shouldn't be spoiling her to that extent, but how could he not when what the main thing she asked for was something impossible to get her. But he didn't get a reply.

"Olivia?" Ezra called out. "Livey."

He finally reached the bottom and noticed her lying down on the couch looking upset.

"Baby what's wrong?" Ezra asked concerned. "Do you feel sick."

Olivia shook her head.

"Then what's wrong?"

She slowly sat up and looked at Ezra, tears present in her hazel eyes.

"I didn't get Mommy for Christmas." She cried as she buried her face into Ezra's chest.

This broke Ezra's heart. He felt the tears coming too, but for his daughter's sake, remained strong.

"Baby, I told you that he wouldn't be able to do so." Ezra explained. "Mommy isn't coming back soon."

"B-but Santa can do anything. And if Mommy loves me, then why doesn't she come back?"

Thats the question Ezra asked himself everyday. But it was an answer he would never get.

"She can't." Ezra simply said.

He wiped away his daughter's tears and gave her a fake smile.

"Now where's that giant Olivia smile that Daddy loves so much."

But instead of smiling, she just snuggled closer to Ezra.

"Come on baby, it's Christmas, you should be happy. Everyone that loves you is coming over. And you know what that means." Ezra explained.

"What?" She asked confused.

"More presents." Ezra said, trying to lighten up the mood.

Hearing this, caused Oliva to forget about Aria, and her eyes grew wide. Ezra laughed, as he picked up his daughter.

"Come on, let's go clean up your toys."

The doorbell interrupted their cleaning a few minutes later and Olivia ran to the door.

"I'll get it Daddy!"

Olivia opened the front door to reveal her grandparents.

"Hey there princess." Ella cooed as she scooped her up in her arms.

"Hi Grandma! Hi Grandpa." Olivia smiled.

"Merry Christmas pumpkin." Byron replied. "Guess what?"

"What?"

"We've got presents for you"

Olivia's eyes widened. Not that she didn't know she would get something, she always did, but just because she loved unwrapping gifts.

"Thank you." She replied before running off with her gift.

Soon the house was filled with all their guests, and they all started exchanging their gifts. Everyone had come over, Hanna and her family, Spencer and Toby, Emily. Even Dianne and Wes. Everyone was prepared for this special Christmas. Ezra headed into the kitchen to help Ella set up for their Christmas dinner.

"Thanks Ezra." Ella smiled.

"No problem." He smiled back.

There was silence between the two as they both set up. Ezra noticed Ella was crying softly as she gathered everything. He made his way over to her and gently placed his hand on her shoulder.

"Are you Ok?" He asked.

Ella forced a smile and wiped away her tears.

"I am."

"Are you sure?"

Ella shook her head.

"No. I'm not. But I'll be alright."

"This is about Aira isn't it?"

Ella nodded.

"Yes. I just miss her more and more everyday. I don't have a clue where she might be, and that hurts. Not knowing if she's ok or not."

Ezra sighed heavily.

"It hurts me too. But maybe it's time to let her go. She's not coming back. She chose to leave. I'm sorry, but she doesn't deserve our tears anymore. Not after all this time. It's time we forget about her, I know its hard, we all still love her, but holding onto her will only make our lives more miserable. We can't let her do that. I know she's your daughter and you love her, but you're hurting because of her. It's time we let go, she's not coming back. I've learned to accept that. Maybe you should too."

Ella kept crying silently.

"You're right." She finally said. "You're right." She repeated before walking off with the mashed potatoes in hand.

Ezra knew he was too harsh, especially since Ella was her mother, but all he said was true. They all needed to let go and forget her.


Aria took out the small photo album out from her suitcase. After fixing herself a mug of warm coffee, she headed back to the couch. She brought the blanket closer to her body in hopes that at least that would warm her up a bit and comfort her. But it didn't. She felt so cold and empty. Sighing, she flipped to the first page of the photo album. She smiled seeing her daughter's ultrasound picture.

"Good afternoon." Dr. Layne greeted them both.

Aria smiled at her while Ezra gave her a friendly nod.

"How are you feeling sweetie?" She asked as she took a seat next to her.

"Great." She smiled. " The baby's been kicking a lot lately."

"That's normal." She continued as she placed the jelly on her tummy.

"So we can find out the sex today, am I correct?" Ezra asked.

"Yes of course." Dr Layne smiled. "So I'm guessing you guys want to know?"

Both Aria and Ezra nodded.

"Well, the baby appears to be healthy. Everything seems normal." She explained as she continued rolling over Aria's tummy.

Ezra reached over and gently squeezed Aria's hand. They were both nervous, excited, just everything, waiting to be told the gender of their baby. Both were fine with either sex, but deep down Ezra knew he was hoping for a baby girl.

"Well, from what i'm seeing here it appears you both are expecting a healthy baby girl. Congratulations." Dr Layne said. "Now, i'll leave you two. I'll return shortly with your pictures."

"Thank you."

Once the Dr. was out, both Aria and Ezra let the tears fall .

"Can you believe it?" Aria asked. "We're having a baby girl." Aria exclaimed with teary eyes.

"Thank you Aria. I can't wait until she's with us. I love you."

Ezra bent down and kissed her lovingly.

"I love you too Ezra. Forever and always."

Aria wiped away the tears she wasn't aware she was shedding. She sniffled before turning to the next pages. She tried to suppress her cries when she reached the next picture. It was the day Olivia was born. She was laying on the hospital bed, Olivia in her arms, and Ezra right beside her.

"She's beautiful." Aria cried. "So so beautiful." She repeated as she looked down at her daughter.

After a very long and difficult labor, here she was. Her daughter had finally entered the world. Aria still couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe that the tiny and precious little human being she was holding, was her's . Theirs.

"Just like her Mommy. Thank you Aria, for making my life complete, for giving me the most beautiful daughter. For everything. I love you."

"I love you too." Aria smiled. "I just can't believe that she's actually ours."

"I can't either. She's just so perfect. Everything about her."

"Thank you Ezra. For staying by my side all this time. For being the perfect husband, the perfect person. I love you."

Ezra ran his hands through Aria's messy hair before placing a gentle, yet passionate kiss on her lips.

"I love you too."

Not long after, their little family moment was interrupted by a nurse.

"Hey there, how are you feeling?" She asked Aria.

"Happy." Aria simply said.

The nurse smiled.

"Any pain or discomfort?"

"No. Not really."

"Thats great." She responded as she shuffled through her notes. "So does this gorgeous princess have a name yet?"

Aria and Ezra both looked at each other before nodding.

"Yes." Aria smiled. "Olivia Daisy Fitz."

"Well Olivia, welcome to the world." The nurse said before leaving.

"Yes baby girl. Welcome." Aria smiled before gently kissing her daughter head.

Aria brought her knees up to her chest, whimpering softly. The day Olivia was born, wat the best day of her life. And it always hurt to think back to it, knowing she wasn't able to be with her. Wiping her tears yet again, she went back to album. The next few pictures were of everyone at the hospital with them. She reached one certain picture that made her laugh slightly. It was one of her and Olivia in the bathroom, Olivia's first bath.

Aria finished undressing Olivia before wrapping her up in a soft pink towel. This would be the first time she'd be giving her a bath and quite frankly, she was beyond nervous. She was just so tiny and fragile, she was afraid she would hurt her. Finally, she reached the bathroom where Ezra had just finished filling up the baby bath tub with warm water.

"You ready?" Ezra asked.

"Yes." Aria replied, and then gently placed her inside.

Ezra took a quick picture of this before rushing to her side to help her. As Aria held her head gently, Ezra helped with the shampoo and baby wash.

"Here, help me finish up while I go grab another towel." Aria said as Ezra gently held her head.

"A-aria" Ezra stuttered, obviously worried.

"Babe, you'll be fine." Aria said before running off.

Ezra was scared. But he put his fear aside and did as told. In no more than two minutes, Aria was back. She carefully picked her up and wrapped her up.

"Hey baby, now that wasn't so bad." Aria cooed. "Here, go with Daddy."

Aria handed Olivia over to Ezra, before they both walked out.

Aria always treasured these moments. She just never wanted to forget them. She continued looking through those wonderful memories for the rest of the night.

~COF~

Spencer winced as she took a seat in the living room.

"You OK Spence?" Hanna asked.

"Yeah. I'm just feeling slight contractions." Always happens."

"You sure you're OK?"

"Yeah."

They continued on with the night, talking about what they'd gotten for Christmas and just catching up. They were interrupted when Spencer let out a big cry of pain.

"Ah." Spencer cried.

Toby quickly rushed to her side.

"Spencer, are you ok?"

Spencer only shook her head and attempted to get up. With the help of Toby, she was able to do so. But just as she was about to take a step, she felt something wet running down her legs.

"Guys." Spencer cried. "My water just broke."

Immediately everyone went crazy. They started running all over, attempting to get Spencer to the hospital as fast as possible. They managed to get Spencer in the car, who kept moaning in pain more by the second. Toby squeezed her hand gently.

"Looks like we're having a baby tonight." Toby said before driving off.

A/N: Ok so Olivia didn't get her Mommy….yet. It will happen. Anyways, I know not a lot of action is going on, but I figured i'd give y'all somewhat fluff before the drama starts. Let's just say, chapter 10 is one you'll like. I know it's a few chapters away, but it's close. Anyways, please review! They always make me happy.
