New chapter sorry for the wait, thanks for the reviews x

When Ezra woke up the next morning Aria was gone and the side she had been asleep on was cold. He was feeling better and had more strength. He walked into the kitchen and on the breakfast bar was a letter that Aria had written.

Ezra, gone home to change I have a doctor's appointment and thought if you were feeling any better you could come? I'll be back soon. Aria.

Ezra smiled of course he wanted to go and he didn't care if he was still in pain or if he felt like shit. He was definitely going. Ezra got into the shower and got ready. Just as he was putting his shoes on Aria came in.

"Hey." Aria said she put her bag and keys onto the kitchen counter.

"I'm nearly ready. I'm feeling much better." Ezra half lied.

"Are you sure? I don't want you straining yourself." Aria told him picking up some magazines and putting them in their place.

"I'm fine Aria and I probably shouldn't admit this but I'm really nervous." He told her truthfully.

"Me too. Let's just get it over and done with." Aria said and grabbed his hand and they both walked out of the apartment building.

Once they arrived Doctor Jude brought them in right away.

"Hi Aria. How are you doing?" She asked once Aria was seated.

"Good yes thank you. This is my friend," Aria said motioning towards Ezra, "Wesley Fitzgerald."

They had decided in the car to introduce Ezra as Wesley a close friend, just in case anyone found out or if questions were asked as to why her teacher was there.

"Good to have extra support from friends." Dr Jude smiled.

The appointment went fast. There were no scans done just a normal checkup. Aria was still too early to see anything. Doctor Jude had scheduled her 3 month appointment and off they went.

"That went well." Ezra said once they were in the car.

"Yeah?" Aria asked as a question even though it was more of a statement.

"Yeah." He answered. "I just know are baby will be beautiful." Ezra spoke.

"You haven't even seen him or her yet." Aria laughed.

"No, but I think it will look like a mixture of the both of us." Ezra smiled.

"You're crazy." Aria laughed again, this time harder.

"I love to see you smile." Ezra said before leaning in for a quick but romantic kiss. Once he pulled back Aria leaned in again and kissed him just because she was happy and because he was hers.

"Let's go home." Aria smiled again and put her seat belt on.

"So what are you going to tell your parents when you start showing?" Ezra asked.

"I don't know. Once I tell them they'll have me on lockdown. If I can keep it a secret for long enough I can keep seeing you and just carry on with my life. But if I tell them soon I probably will never see you again." Aria stressed.

"I know. Hopefully you won't get too big too quick and we will be able to keep the baby a secret." He smiled. "Who are you going to say the father is?"

"I'll tell them what I told the girls. I got drunk at the Kahn cabin and slept with some guy. Can't remember his name or what he looked like." Aria replied looking at her hands. "They will have already lost their respect for me once I tell them I'm pregnant, after that I don't think it can get any worse." Aria began to cry. A few tears ran down her face.

"You are really strong Aria. I hope you know that." Ezra told her.

"Please Ezra don't give me praise. I'm seventeen and pregnant with my teachers child. I'm a mess."

"Well I don't think you are. I think you very strong and put together and beautiful." Ezra said brushing her hair behind her ear. She was so beautiful and to see her cry made Ezra's heart-break.

"Thank you Ezra. I don't think your half bad either." Aria spoke her words just slightly louder than a whisper.

Ezra leaned in and kissed her slowly at first. She kissed him back with more force, more energy. Soon he was on top of her and pulling his navy t-shirt over his head. Aria kissed down his neck trying not to think about his bruises. He went for her top and she gladly let him take it off. They kept kissing for a few moments the kiss increasing in speed and force. Ezra's hands traced down her waist to her jeans.

"No stop." Aria whispered her hand following Ezra's to stop him.

Ezra's hands kept going and he began to open her belt. Aria tensed and broke away from the kiss. Ezra didn't realize what she was implying and started kissing down her neck. "Please Ezra." She whispered. He didn't stop and a few tears ran down her cheek. "Ezra, Ezra you're going too fast.

Ezra used all his power to pull away from her body and put himself back together. "Oh Aria I am so sorry." He looked at Aria and her body slightly shook. "I shouldn't have done that."

Her kiss wasn't like the usual ones. It was full of lust and want. But Ezra realized that kiss was a lot more innocent than he thought.

Aria began to cry. Not just a few tears, she began to cry hard. Finding it hard to catch breaths between her massive sobs. She knew how hard it must have been for Ezra to stop and she had to remind herself that he did stop.

How could I have been so stupid, Ezra thought to himself. Aria is upset and confused and he tries to have sex with her.

"I'm sorry." He whispered.

Aria wiped a few stray tears from her cheek and said, "It's okay. I shouldn't have kissed you like that." She looked at Ezra and he hung his head in shame. "You stopped when I said. It's okay." Aria said this time reaching her hand out to give Ezra reassurance.

Ezra looked up relief flowing through his body. In those few moments he had waited for her to reply he thought she was never going to forgive him. He could have raped her. He could have sexually abused the one and only person he loved.

"I know we have done it before but sex is a big thing to me Ezra and I don't want it rushed or when we're high on emotions and problems. I want it to be loving and beautiful like the first time."

"Me too. And it will be. But what happened is not okay. What if I didn't stop Aria? What if I kept going?" Ezra spoke. Each word slowly breaking his heart.

"But you did. And I forgive you." Aria hugged him.

"I love you." He whispered into her ear.

"You too." She whispered back. They lay in silence for the rest of the night.

"You know I've never met your brother." Aria whispered.

Ezra didn't answer and sighed.

"Do you not want them to meet me?" She asked again feeling hurt.

"No. I mean I don't want you to meet them." Ezra sighed. "Aria my mom's not a very nice person. All she cares about is her money."

"Does she know about me?" Aria asked.

"Of course she does. Can we talk about this later?"

"Does Wes?" Aria asked again.

"Yes. Can we please talk about this later?" Ezra begged.

"Sure." Aria replied still not sure if he was telling the truth.

They had talked about his family before but never to the extent of planning for Aria to meet them. She knew Ivy had met them once or twice. Not his Dad, just his Mom and brother. Aria wanted to meet his Mother but at the same time she was super scared. Meeting his Mother meant making a good expression, which was even scarier since she was still only a teenager and that she was carrying his child. They knew they had to wait till Aria's parents knew about their relationship first but it was still something Aria wanted. And she didn't understand why she hadn't met his brother yet. He was Aria's age and used to be close with Ezra. She had seen him once or twice but never had a conversation with him. Aria couldn't help but feel that Ezra was ashamed of her and she was willing to do whatever she needed, to make that change.
