Ezra POV:

I woke up early, lying for a moment in the hospital bed as I listened to the sound of Aria's heart beating against my chest, her body curled up next to me, our legs intertwined as her head was nestled in my chest. Her breathing was soft, warming my neck as she exhaled, her eyes lightly fluttering as she dreamed. Bringing my face out of her hair, I slowly untangled us, being sure not to wake Aria. I needed to go to my check up, to make sure all went well with the surgery, and didn't want her to worry. I finally got off the bed, silently making my way to the door, where I stood to look at her for a moment. Still fast asleep, her lips curled into a slight smile, her face peaceful, happy. "I love you," I whispered, before making my way across the cold marble hallway to the examination room. "Ezra Fitz?" a nurse asked as I stepped into the room. "Yes, that's me." "Okay, we are just going to make sure your body responded well to the operation, is anything in particular hurting?" "Other than the wound being sore and throbbing occasionally, nothing else seems to be wrong," I responded. She performed various tests on me, taking an x-ray at the end and asking me to wait for my results. When she brought them back, she gave me the good news that all went well. "You seem to be very lucky Ezra Fitz, you are free to go home now." "Yes I am very lucky, in more ways than one," I said quietly to myself as I made my way back to my room. I paused in the doorway to see Spencer reading quietly, Aria still deep in her slumber. Spencer looked up questionably, and I gave her a thumbs up and a smile. Aria rolled over then, seeming to be looking for me. I walked over to the bed, laying down on the other side of her. I lightly touched the hand that was searching the bed for me, bringing it to rest on my chest. Her lips perked into a small smile, her eyes still closed as she curled back up next to me. I caught Spencer watching, smiling at us as I wrapped my arms around her, cuddling her in tight. She quickly turned back to her book, a smile still etched on her face. I lent down to give Aria a kiss, drawing designs on her waist.

Aria POV:

I was on the edge of consciousness as I felt lips meet mine, the familiar scent of Ezra filling my nose. I kissed him back, half conscious at this point, and felt his hand venture under my shirt to my waist, drawing designs on my skin. I allowed my hand to move to his chest, my fingers tracing his body through his shirt. He deepened the kiss, his tongue entering my mouth, as I moved the hand up to his hair, bringing his head down to meet mine closer. His arm brought me in closer, so we had no space separating us, our heartbeats becoming one. After a while, he broke it off, smiling down at me as I finally opened my eyes. "Good morning to you too," I smiled, snuggling my head back into him. "Don't you have an exam to get to?" "Already did that earlier this morning, I checked out all good, we can go home today!" he, replied excitedly, and I was delighted to see his eyes light up. "Oh Ezra, I'm so glad you are going to be okay, I was just worried…" He cut me off with a small kiss, gentle and drawn out. Our foreheads rested together for a minute, and when I opened my eyes I caught Spencer smirking at us. "What?" I asked her, challenging her with my stare. "Nothing, it's nothing… you guys are just so cute together… I've never seen either of you so happy. Despite our situation, despite the fact that we're in a hospital in a different state without cell phones, you two seem to be in complete bliss." I smiled up at Ezra, giving him a peck on the lips before saying, "Well, let's get moving, we can make it halfway if we leave soon."

Hanna POV:

"Finally!" I exclaimed as we pulled into Spencer's driveway exhausted from two days in the car. "Jeez, I thought we would never make it!" I jumped out of the car, breathing in the fresh air before turning around to meet the incredulous stares of all my companions. "What? I've been trapped in a car with three parents and two girls who can't seem to stay apart for the last 48 hours, you can't blame me for being relieved at my freedom," I stated bluntly. As I watched Emily and Alison climb out of the car, I watched as Emily carefully detangled herself from Ali, walking towards me alone. A faint smile crossed my lips, proud of Emily for controlling her feelings. She gave me a knowing look, filled with confusion, fear, longing, and relief, and I returned it with a pained smile. She grasped my arm, and the three of us walked inside together, Alison walking next to Emily, but not attached. "You girls can stay in Spencer's room for now, Spencer called me an hour ago saying everything worked out well and they will be heading home later today. I glanced over at Alison, a mixture of emotions I couldn't quite distinguish crossing her face. From what I could tell, she seemed relieved, but it was mixed with other things I couldn't decipher. We made our way up to Spencer's room, all crashing on her bed, falling asleep within an instant. I saw Emily roll over towards me slightly, signaling she wasn't forgiving Alison that quickly. I patted her arm before drifting off into unconsciousness, hoping we would all be together soon.
