The symbol that changed Aria's life forever. The symbol that caused her heart to literally skip a beat, the symbol that she couldn't wait to show to her friends.

She stood up dizzily with excitement and found Hanna waiting in her bedroom excitedly.

"Sooo?" Hanna asked as she rushed over to her friend.

"It's.. It's positive!" Aria squealed wrapping her arms around the blonde.

"Ar that's amazing! I can't believe we're gonna be pregnant at the same time," Hanna gushed as she squeezed her friend, both had tears in their eyes.

"Well I need to go to the doctors to get it confirmed, but I just feel it, you know?"

"I know. I have an appointment next week, you should book one too and we can go together?"

"Sure, I'll call up tomorrow and book one then. So what's gonna happen to the store whilst you're on maternity leave?"

"Ar that's like 7 months away! But I'll only be working part time from now on, Ali said she'd take over for now until I've had the baby. I still have a say in decisions but she'll be running it," Hanna explained as she and Aria walked back into Aria's new living room.

"Shoot! I was meant to call Jason straight away," Aria said as she quickly pulled her phone out and dialled his number.

She sighed as soon as it went to voicemail, "Hey Jase, call me back as soon as you can? We have to talk!"

As soon as Aria hung up, she raised an eyebrow as she saw Hanna on the phone. "Hey Jason, looks like your sperm in a cup worked! Btw call your baby's momma back asap!"

When Hanna hung up Aria gave her a glare, "I cannot believe you just did that. Wait what am I saying? Of course I can believe you just did that."

"Anyway! What time should I tell the girls to meet us at the Grille? I uh still haven't told anyone my news yet so I kinda figured we should do it together."

"You mean I'm the only one you've told?" Aria asked, her face softening.

"Well yeah apart from Caleb obviously, I didn't wanna tell anyone until after my appointment next week but now you're preggo too I wanna tell everyone."

"I'm scared Han," Aria confessed as she reached out and squeezed her friend's hand.

"Me too Ar."

"Well Ms Montgomery I am delighted to say that you are 7 weeks along, just like your friend Mrs Rivers is. Come back in about 13 weeks time and I can then determine your baby's gender. I'll write down some notes for you to keep and follow in order to have a successful pregnancy but everything looks great so far," Dr Jones explained, Aria looked up at Hanna and the two shared happy grins.

"Can you imagine if our babies were born on the same day? That would be freaking amazing!" Hanna exclaimed once they finally came out of Dr Jones' office.

"Who knows, maybe we will! Thank you for coming with me today, I know you had your appointment too but you didn't have to stay."

"Of course I did! You were my ride here," Hanna joked, laughing as Aria elbowed her. "I'm kidding. But of course I had to, your my best friend Ar I wanted to make sure everything was okay."

"This is gonna be one kickass pregnancy," Aria cheered as she and Hanna approached her car.

"That's the spirit! Now let's go get us some coffee."

"Han we're pregnant, we shouldn't be drinking coffee.."

"Man this pregnancy sucks ass already."


July 29th 2019

So far Aria's pregnancy had been great, despite morning sickness everything seemed to be going well. She missed her usual daily coffee but she didn't mind the sacrifice if it meant her baby would be safe. She'd let Hollis know that she was pregnant and was grateful at how they'd taken her news. Her family and friends had also played a huge part in the success of her pregnancy, supporting her in any way that they could.

Now that everyone was on summer break at Hollis, it meant Aria had more time to focus on getting everything ready for her baby.

"What colour do you want to paint the nursery for the baby?" Jason asked as he and Aria walked round the DIY store slowly.

"I was thinking maybe yellow? I don't wanna paint the room pink and then find out its a boy."

"Yellow sounds good. How about I get to work with Toby to make some furniture this weekend?" Jason asked as Aria looked at the different shades of yellow paint.

"That would be great, I mean if it's not too much trouble?"

"Of course not Ar, this is our baby. I want to do everything I can to help out," Jason said as he took the paint off of Aria and carried it to the till. She smiled gratefully and followed.

Later on Aria received a surprise when she walked in and found her four friends waiting for her.

"Guys what are you doing here?" She shrieked as she walked through her apartment door.

"Jason called and asked us if we could all help you decorate the nursery," Spencer explained as she stood up and hugged her friend.

"I love you guys," Aria said weepily, damn those pregnancy hormones.

"Hey we love you too! Now we've got a room to paint!"

By the time the room was half painted, Aria found herself covered in most of the paint.

"Guys maybe we should take a break, we've been doing this for hours.." Hanna moaned as she rubbed her back. Both she and Aria were slowly starting to show.

"Good idea! How about Ali and I do a coffee run?" Emily suggested, pausing slightly when Aria, Hanna and Spencer all gave her a glare.

"I mean ugh juice run?! Anyway Spence I thought you liked coffee, when do you ever turn it down?"

Spencer blushed and squeaked, "Ever since I found out I was pregnant.."

"What?!" All four girls shrieked at their friend before rushing over to her to congratulate her.

"Spence why didn't you tell us sooner?" Aria asked as she hugged her best friend.

"I only found out yesterday and I didn't know when to announce it," Spencer admitted almost quietly.

"I knew something strange was going on from the minute you turned down coffee," Emily teased as she took her turn to hug her friend.

"So does that mean you'll be lawyering part time and joining mine and Aria's baby club?" Hanna asked excitedly.

Aria rolled her eyes, "We do not have a pregnancy club."

"Oh I beg to differ."

"I am really pleased to say this, you are having a baby girl," Dr Jones announced as she, Hanna Aria both looked at the sonogram of Aria's baby on the monitor.

"Ar this is amazing! We're both having baby girls!"

"I can't believe.." Aria whispered, clutching Hanna's hand as she stared at her baby, completely awestruck.

Somewhere not to far away in the town of Rosewood, Emily was eating lunch in her restaurant when she saw someone she hadn't seen in a long time, someone no one had seen in a long time. It was Ezra Fitz.

She whispered to Alison who then subtly looked in Ezra's direction as he walked closer to her and Em.

"You think he's come back for Aria?" Alison whispered as he walked into the restaurant. Em shrugged at her fiancé and turned to Ezra.

"Ezra..What a wonderful surprise, what brings you to Rosewood?" Emily asked curiously as she stood up and shook his hand.

"Hi, uh I-" He stuttered before continuing, "Could you possibly give me Aria's address I need to see her, I'm moving back to Rosewood."

"Wow, Ezra haven't you heard? Aria's pregnant!" Alison said, soon regretting her words as his face paled and saddened.

"She moved on? Who am I kidding, of course she did. I'm sorry I shouldn't have come here."

"Wait, please. Trust me she's still totally in love with you, even after all these years. It's a funny story actually, well maybe not funny but the baby was a product of Jason's sperm in a cup. Okay maybe too much information there, but she wanted a baby badly and Jason offered to help her so that happened. Here I'll write down the address for you.."

Later on Aria returned home, finding a stuffed pig and a parcel outside her apartment door, she bent down carefully, holding her back as she picked the objects up. She unlocked her door and shuffled inside before tearing open the letter taped to the parcel, shaking as soon as she recognised the writing.

My dearest Aria,

I know this letter is long overdue and well, I probably debated a thousand times before actually gathering up the courage to leave it outside your apartment. I want you to know that I am still 100% in love with you, I guess it's true that absence makes the heart grow fonder.

If you're wondering what the pig is for, it's for your future child. If anyone deserves to be a mom it's you. You meant the world to me Aria and I am so sorry I threw that away to achieve some stupid goal of living in New York. What kind've jerk does that?! Anyway, what I want to say is that maybe one day in the future, just maybe things will work out our way and we'll be happy. But until that day I must let go of you, be that wonderful mother I know you can be and please never think that I didn't love you. I always have and always will.

Until we meet again, my sweet Aria.

Aria found herself sobbing uncontrollably as she reread the letter over and over again before dialling Hanna's number and asking her friend to come over.
