A/N: Thanks again for all the reviews!
Spencer's P.O.V
Its Friday today which means it's my turn to babysit Sophie. Aria has been extremely nervous since she talked to Ezra on Wednesday. She decided she wouldn't go to work but I convinced her she can't just keep hiding. I had a fun day planned for me and Sophie. I was so excited. I never knew how much fun I would have with a 18 month old. I arrived at Aria's house and made my way to the front door.
"Hey, how's it going?" Aria greeted me
"Good, how are you doing?" I asked
" I've been better, well anyway I need to go or I will be late, everything you'll need is in the diaper bag, bye Sophie, bye Spence"
"Ready to go Sophie?" I asked
She nodded. I got her diaper bag and put Sophie in her car seat. I gave her my iPad and let her watch Cinderella. We drove to the Rosewood mall. I was planning a shopping spree for Sophie.
"Auntie Spencer is taking you shopping" I said placing Sophie in her stroller
After about 3 hours of shopping, Sophie had a whole new winter wardrobe. She had about 15 new outfits, a few coats and of course, a lot of boots. I always wanted to spoil someone and now I have Sophie to spoil. I'm just hoping Aria won't get too mad. After shopping for so long we went to go eat lunch. We decided on Chinese food and soon finished eating.
" Do you want to go to the park now?"
"Yes, yes! pawk!" Sophie said excitedly
We stopped by for ice cream and then headed to the park. The same park where all of us would play when we were younger. I took Sophie to the baby playground and played with her for a while before I heard my phone beep.
Aria:
Hey can you watch Sophie a few more hours? My boss is making me work late?
Me:
Yeah, it's fine. Don't worry. We're having lots of fun.
I put my phone away and carried Sophie over to the swings. I sat down with her on my lap and swung with her for a while. Within a few minutes Sophie was asleep. As I stood up and began walking towards my car, I saw Ezra on one of his runs.
"Shit" I said to myself
What was I going to. If he see's Sophie, he will know something's up. I mean Sophie is a mirror image of Ezra. .SHIT. Was all I could say. I soon got an idea. I took my jacket off and put it over Sophie, hoping she wouldn't wake up. I guess everything will be fine if he doesn't see her eyes. Shit, what am I going to say if he asks who this is. My thoughts were interrupted when I heard someone say my name.
"Spencer?" Ezra asked
I turned around.
" Spencer, how have you been? I haven't seen you in over 2 years."
"Ezra,hey, I've been good, how about you?" i said
" Good, I guess," he looked down at Sophie "and who is this?"
Shit, what was I going to say.
"She's my daughter" I said quickly without thinking
"Really? Wow, I didn't know. How old is she?" he asked confused
"18 months" I said
"She is beautiful Spencer"
"Thanks" I said looking down at a sleeping Sophie " Well I have to get going"
" No wait. Spencer, I need your help, I know Aria is back, I talked to her, but she won't explain anything. Spencer I'm begging you, if you know something please tell me "
"I'm sorry Ezra, I-"
" Spencer please" he cut me off "These past 2 years have been the worse years of my life. Do you have any idea on how much I love Aria? All I want are some answers. Please Spencer?"
" Look, I can't say anything, but how about this, you both have a lot to talk about so the most I can do is try and convince her to talk to you."
" Thank you so much"
" I'm doing this because you guys need to talk"
" Thanks again. Is your number still the same? In case I need to reach you for anything?"
"Yup. Same one. Well Ezra it was nice talking to you but it's Sophie's nap time."
"Sophie, as in Sophia?"
" Yeah, but we all call her Sophie"
" Sophia, what a beautiful name, I remember Aria and I would always argue on what we would name our daughter if we ever had one, I've always liked Sophia, Sophie for short, but Aria liked Mackenzie," he sighed and looked down "I'm sorry for holding you up, and thanks again"
"Yeah, no problem"
" Bye Spencer, and Congrats on your beautiful daughter"
After he left, I texted Hanna and instead of driving home I drove to Hanna's. I took Sophie out of the car and made my way in.
"Hey, is everything ok?" she asked
"Yeah, I will tell you all about it after putting Sophie down."
I went and put Sophie down on Hanna's bed. I went back out and found Hanna making coffee. I sighed and then sat down at the table.
" You won't believe who we ran into at the park"
"Don't tell me."
" Yup"
" Oh my god, Aria is going to kill you, what did he say? did he see Sophie? Spencer why couldn't you just stay home, Aria didn't want her to be seen Spencer."
"Han, are you done?"
"I'm sorry, carry on"
" Sophie had just fallen asleep, and we were getting ready to leave when I saw him. I stopped and talk to him and then he asked me who Sophie was an-"
"Oh my god, what did you tell him?
" Well if you would let me finish..."
"Sorry"
"I told him she was my daughter"
" Did he buy it?"
"yeah"
I heard a few cries come from the room and went to go check on Sophie. I brought her back out.
"Hey baby" Hanna said taking Sophie from me
I finished telling her all about what else Ezra and I discussed.
" We need to get them back together" Hanna said
" Yes we do, how about this, we need to come up with a plan to get them to talk, I have to go drop off Sophie but please call Emily and update her on this and ask if she's in for the plan. Thanks. Bye"
" Bye, Bye Sophie" Hanna waved
Sophie waved back and we both made our way back to Aria's.
" Ok, princess, let's go see Mommy" I said
As soon as I parked the car in Aria's driveway, I saw her coming out of the house.
"Hey baby" she said taking Sophie " Were you a good girl for auntie Spencer?"
" She is always a good girl for her favorite aunt." I joked
" Haha, do you want to come in for a while?"
"Yeah, let me just get a few things from the car"
I took out all the shopping bags, the car seat and stroller. I couldn't carry it all. I saw Aria laughing.
" A little help here" I said
" I'm sorry, what's all this anyway?"
" I took my princess on a little shopping spree" I answered
" Spencer, a little shopping spree? look at all those bags, Spence what did I tell you about spoiling her,"
"Aria, you should know by now I never listen"
Aria just laughed. We went up to her room to get Sophie into her pajamas.
"Aria?
"Yeah?"
" I need to talk to you"
" Is everything ok?
" Yeah, well, ok, so you know how I took Sophie to the park today?"
" Yeah...what about it?"
" Well we kind of ran into someone" I sighed " We ran into Ezra."
"You what?, Spencer why did you have to take her out, you knew he was here. I knew I should've stayed home, now he saw her and Oh my god"
"ARIA! calm down. You knew this would happen eventually, I'm sorry"
"No, I'm sorry, ok so you saw him, did you talk to him?, what did he say about Sophie?"
"Yeah, I tried avoiding him, but he saw me and we talked for a while. When he asked about Sophie," I paused
"Yes, what did you say?"
"Well I told him she was my daughter. Thank god she was asleep or else her eyes would've told him otherwise"
" And he believed you?"
"Yeah, but Aria, you can't keep living like this, you need to talk to him" I said
"Spencer, I've told you already, there is nothing to talk about." she replied
"Aria, you know that's not true, there is a lot you need to tell him, You should've seen the pain in his eyes when we talked about you. Ar, it's not fair to either of you. Please promise you will talk to him. Just do it." I pleaded
" My answer is still no and that's final. Now I don't mean to rude, but I had a tough day at work.."
" Are you seriously going to get mad over this? I'm just trying to help you"
"No one is getting mad Spencer, I just don't want to talk to him. I won't talk to him"
" Whatever. I'm leaving now. Tell Sophie I love her" I said, annoyed now
"Spencer!" I heard Aria call out
But I was too angry to go back. It's just not fair to Aria to hurt herself like this. She loves Ezra and she knows it. It just bugs me that she won't do anything to help herself. I love her, she's my best friend and it hurts me to see her like this. And it's not fair to Ezra either. But this will change. I don't care if Aria want's to talk to him or not. One thing's for sure though, she will talk to him and I'm going to make that happen.
Hope you enjoyed it and please REVIEW!
