There was one comment, I won't say which, that I found a little bit hurtful. I haven't written it in a chapter yet that Aria knows that she is for sure pregnant, and in this chapter you'll find out why she threw up - and no it wasn't morning sickness because it's too early to detect a pregnancy (I know that it's too early, I took health class). I guess it's my fault for not clarifying that she definitely doesn't know at this point and that it was just an idea of Ella's. I decided that I will have her become pregnant, however, there will be a twist at the end (after she has the baby) that changes a lot of things and forces many ugly truths to come out and sides of people you didn't know they had. But that twist won't happen for a while. Anyways, thanks so much for your reviews and ideas! I had an epiphany the other day on how I can make this story go, so that even though Aria is pregnant (and that storyline is similar to others) I thought of something that will make sure that there is still tons of drama. And Jackie and Maria are still in the picture, alas, more drama! (I don't know why I just said 'alas'... the only person I've ever heard (or read) say that is Dumbledore...) To those of you like the idea of Aria being pregnant: she's pregnant. To those of you who don't: You may not like how the story is now, but I will do something later on with the baby that might change your mind to like it more, because it will be different. Could the baby not be Ezra's? Could her pregnancy symptoms be symptoms of a disease? Could Aria die before she is able to have the baby? Could A do some horrible things to the baby after they are born? (I know that I haven't included A in this story yet, but I will eventually... Just need to figure out when:)... ) I really hope that those of you who don't want her to have a baby continue to read though! and THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH FOR YOUR REVIEWS! I got such an overwhelming response from the last chapter and that note... so THANK YOU ALL!

Okay sorry for my rambling... love you all so much! Here's the next chapter!

The time Aria spent at the hospital was a quick procedure. They took some blood tests and she was told that no pregnancy was detected and that she had a 24 hour stomach virus. All the symptoms matched up with the stomach flu, and Aria was told to rest and drink lots of fluids. When Ella asked the doctor about the probability of a pregnancy, he simply said it was too early to tell, however, the fact that Aria had sex with Ezra made pregnancy a possibility. For a definite answer, Aria and Ella were told to come back in a few days.

"Aria, I can't believe this happening to you." Ella sighed, as they walked through the sliding doors of the hospital back to the car.

"Mom, they don't know if I'm pregnant. Dr. Kint said that it's just a bug and that it's too early to tell." She replied.

"What if we come back next week and they tell you you're pregnant? What will you do?"

"I don't know..." Aria whispered.

"So, it definitely is Ezra's baby?" Ella looked at Aria worriedly.

"MOM! We don't know I'm pregnant, so will you please just drop this?" Aria fired at her. "But, yes, obviously, if I am pregnant, it is Ezra's baby."

A moment of silence passed before Ella spoke again.

"My daughter is having a baby with her ex-English teacher." She whispered, with a look of utter fear on her face. "You're in high school, Aria. It's just... a lot to take in."

"Mom?" Aria asked quietly. "If I do, end up... having a baby... you'll support me through this, right?"

She looked at Aria for a moment with a pained expression on her face. "Of course honey, I'll always support you no matter what..." She turned back to the road. "We all make mistakes..." She whispered.

"What if I have an abortion?" Aria asked suddenly.

"NO!" Ella yelled.

"Whoa, sorry for mentioning it then." Aria clearly was offended by her mothers' tone.

Ella was silent for a moment. "I won't let you have an abortion. If you feel that you and Ezra definitely can't raise a baby on your own, then maybe you should think about adoption, instead."

Aria nodded her head, pondering her mothers' words.

"Are you sure? I mean, if I have an abortion, I don't have to go through the actual birth... And I'd rather spare myself the pain." Aria tried at humor, but failed.

"Aria... There's something I think I should tell you..." Ella trailed off slowly.

Aria looked at Ella intently. Aria watched, as her mother took a deep breath and began to speak.

"I got pregnant too, when I was nineteen."

Aria gasped. Quickly, she counted back the years in her head. But it didn't make sense. The math, when done, made no sense.

Ella was silent until Aria pointed to herself and whispered, "with me?" It made no sense,Aria thought.

Ella fiercely shook her head. "No, you would have had an older brother... But from a different father." My heart was crushed as I heard my mom speak those words. I watched as a lone tear slid down her face.

"Wh-what happened to him?" Aria asked quietly.

"I had an abortion. I was selfish and I didn't want to have to take care of a baby." Her eyes were transfixed on the road.

Aria kept quiet while she absorbed all this new information.

"I've regretted it ever since the moment it happened. I don't know what the hell was going through my head, to think that it is okay to kill an innocent child. It's murder..."

"Mom, I'm so sorry." Aria whispered.

She smiled a little through her tears. "It's okay, baby. Just promise me you won't have an abortion. It's not the right thing to do. The easiest thing isn't always the best thing."

"I promise." Aria nodded. Ella took hold of Aria's hand and squeezed it gently, giving Aria a small smile.

"So then who was the baby's father?" Aria sat up in her seat, intrigued.

"My boyfriend from high school. We had sex and when he found out I got pregnant, he broke up with me. I knew I couldn't take care of a baby myself, and I was scared to tell my parents. That was my biggest fear. Your grandpa would have kicked me out of the house in a heartbeat if he had found out." Ella wiped the tears from her eyes and pulled into their driveway.

"W-wait so grandma and grandpa still don't know?" Aria gasped.

Ella bit her lip and shook her head.

"Wow." Aria whispered, as she fell back into her seat. "Does Byron know?"

Ella shook her head once again. "And don't you dare tell him! Please Aria, don't tell him." She begged.

"I won't. Promise." Aria gave her mother a small smile, before getting out of the car.

The next week went by far too quickly then Aria wanted. Her stomach flu went away the day after the trip to the hospital, and she spent that whole week avoiding Ezra. Almost every day after school since Ezra had taken the job at Hollis, Aria stopped by to visit him. However, since her doctors' visit, Aria avoided Ezra like he was a bee who wanted to sting her. (I can't believe I just compared Ezra Fitz to a bee. Something is clearly wrong here.)After her trip to the hospital, Aria managed to go a full three days without thinking about Jackie or Maria. However, one day while stalking Ezra's Facebook page, Aria stumbled across a picture that made her stomach feel uneasy.

"So he isgoing to be a part of Maria's life." Aria whispered quietly to herself, as she clicked on the picture. Jackie had posted it two hours ago and tagged Ezra in it. It revealed itself to be a photo of Ezra, Jackie, and Maria, together at the park. Ezra was pushing Maria on a swing, while Jackie was standing a few feet away with a smug smile on her face. Aria felt tears welling up in her eyes and she subconsciously placed a hand on her stomach. She felt a pang in her heart as she realized that if she was pregnant, her and Ezra would never be able to do that. They wouldn't be able to take their son or daughter to a park; a public place. If they did, people would suspect things, things they were probably right about. She could already see the headline of the Rosewood Observer, "Seventeen Year Old Girl Knocked Up By Her Teacher." She knew this wasn't going to work. She knew it from the moment she heard Jackie utter the four simple words: "This is your daddy."

Kay, I admit, I didn't really like this very much. It was supposed to be way longer and more things were supposed to happen, but whatever. I wanted to give you guys an update so this is what I came up with. What did you think about Ella's past? Hope you guys liked it! Please leave a review! I love reading them and and knowing what you guys think. Your input really helps me think of new ideas to add to this story! I'll try and update tomorrow or Friday because tomorrow's my last day of finals! Now.. back to studying :)
