Disclaimer: I don't have anything to do with Pretty Little liars.

As days followed Aria's mini break down in front of Hardy: she decided that she would give the thought of talking with Ezra a break for a few days. Aria wanted to clear her head and get her feelings in check before telling him how she really feels.

It was a breezy Friday afternoon with rain clouds in the sky. Aria did her best to focus on her studies and she managed to pull a B on her Geometry test. Now it was time for Ezra to pick up Timothy from Day care and have him spent time with his father.

Aria stood in front of her car waiting for Ezra. He had sent her a note saying that he was going to be an hour late because of a short meeting with one of his student's parents. Ezra really didn't go into detail and Aria didn't care all that much.

"Aria!" Ezra said as he pulled up beside her, "Thank you for signing him out." Ezra got out of the car and looked toTimothy who was playing on the jungle gym, "How was he today?"

Aria shrugged, "Adjusting." She answered broken heartedly, "Here," she said walking over to the trunk of her car and taking out his bag, "Make sure you take him to his check up tomorrow"

Ezra nodded, "I remembered." He carefully took the bag from her and looked into her eyes, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine. Just feeling a little numb. "She answered sweetly.

"Do you want to come out to dinner with us?"

Aria licked her lips and tucked the strain of hair behind her ear, "I'm just going to go home and rest." She smiled, "Thank you though."

Ezra smiled back and looked at Aria with caution, "Are you sure you're alright? You're looking a little pale?"

Aria gulped back her spit, "I wanted to talk to you. But every time we talk we end up fighting and that's something I just can't stress right now." She admitted, "Maybe next time."

"Aria," Ezra grabbed her hand and led her over to one of the benches, "Is this why you've been avoiding me?"

"In a way." She sighed, "I just want us to be able to talk. Like we used too"

"I want that too." Ezra said looking at Timothy who was now going down the slide, "But in order for us to do that you need to tell me what's really going on,"

"Are you really dating again?" Aria blurted

"Are you?" Ezra pushed.

Aria shook her head, "I don't want too."

Ezra rubbed his face frustrated at the situation, "Then why lie to me?" He stood up and started to pace, "You know how much I love you."

"I know, and I guess I was just jealous that you already found someone so quick."

Ezra rolled his eyes and placed his hands on his hips before looking back down at Aria, "And what now?"

Aria shrugged, "I'm sorry! I shouldn't have said anything." She stood up and sat right back down. "My head is spinning."

"We should get you home or at least to a doctor." Ezra told her and then placed the back of his hand over her cheek, "Your burning up. How long have you been feeling like this?"

"Couple days."

"Timothy," Ezra yelled, "It's time to go buddy."

Timothy came running from the playground and up to Ezra, "Daddy." He said in excitement.

"We have to get mommy home okay buddy?' Timothy nodded and Ezra hoisted Aria up into his arms bridal style. "I'm going to call Spencer and Emily. I want to see if they can come pick up this piece of junk you call a car." Ezra joked placing Aria into the front seat of his car.

"I love that car." Aria mumbled into his ear as he pulled the seat belt over her chest, "I paid for that."

Ezra smiled, "You did a great job then."

Ezra went to buckle Timothy into his car seat and then pulled out his phone to call Spencer. She had answered on the second ring and asked her if she and Emily could pick up Aria's car.

"Of course, I'm going to pick up Emily and then swing by the house and pick up the keys." Spencer said with true concern, "is she alright? I know she said something about not feeling to well during lunch."

Ezra sucked in a breath as he pulled out of the parking spot, "I don't' know. But for now I just want to get her home and put her to bed,"

Spencer let out a cough and Ezra could hear her car start up, "Ezra, Aria- Aria really hasn't eaten anything in two days. She was really stressing over her Geometry test and all she did was study."

Aria rolled her eyes having to hear that last part of the conversation, "That's not true." She whispered, "I had some crackers."

"Alright, we should be at the house soon. We'll see you then." Ezra said over the phone and then hung up. He stopped at the red light and looked to Aria, "I told you I would help."

Aria sighed, "You know nothing about Geometry Ezra."

"Maybe, but I could still have helped you this week"

"I know, but Spencer and the girls were there to help me."

Ezra scoffed, "Too bad they didn't feed you!"

Aria turned her head to look at him and then closed her eyes, "I'm sorry."

Confused Ezra asked, "For what?"

"Pushing you away, I'm sorry Ezra." She cried, "I don't know what I'm doing anymore!"

With a heavy sigh Ezra felt his chest pounding and reached over to grab hold of her hand, "I've had a hand in it too Aria. You're right. I wasn't around and the only reason I agreed to your little stupid game was because I was wrong."

Aria coughed a few times and then looked into the back seat to see Timothy on his mini Ipad; He looked so precious and so sweet that she just wanted to kiss him. The way his face creased when he was deep in thought. Aria thought maybe she was doing the same thing that her grandparents did to her. Placed every book they hand in front of her and made her study. Not that she wasn't too keen with the idea of reading a good book; because she loved it, it was just to the point where reading became a chore.

Ezra pulled into Aria's driveway and then parked the car. He got out and opened the door for Timothy to get out and then walked to the passenger side for Aria. Bright lights came upon them as the sky only brought darkness to them.

"Thank you guys," Ezra said expressing his gratitude. "Do you mine doing me one more favour? I promise to make it up to you guys!"

Spencer and Emily looked at each other and then back at Ezra, "Well what is it?" Emily urged

Ezra looked at Aria and then back at them, "Can you maybe give me a lift home and then back? I promise I won't be long."

"Are you planning on staying here?" Spencer asked concerned, "Are you sure that's a good idea?"

Ezra shrugged, "I don't' know. But I just feel like this is the right thing to do." He bent down in front of Aria and helped her out of the car, "I'm just going to run to the apartment and grab a few things. I'll be back as soon as I can."

"Promise?" Aria asked with a half-hearted smile.

Ezra nodded, "I promise." He stood up and grabbed the keys out of Aria's bag that was in-between her feet.

Aria swatted his hand, "what have I told you about digging into my bag?" She joked,

"Never to do it again." Ezra played along, "but you know I will." He stood up and picked Timothy up into his arms, "can you be a good boy for mommy while I'm gone?"

Timothy nodded, "I promise daddy."

Ezra locked up his car and then opened the front door for Aria and Timothy, "I'll be back soon."

"Why don't' I just stay here?" Emily offered, "That way I can make dinner and give Timothy his bath"

Spencer and Ezra shared a brief eye contact and then Spencer nodded, "That's fine with me. What about you Mr Fitz?" She questioned him with a hint of sarcasm.

Ezra shrugged, "You can call me Ezra, Spence."

"And you can call me Ms Hastings" She fought back as she walked to her car and got in, "Let's go!"

"Thanks Em,"

"No problem." She replied closing the front door behind him.

Ezra walked over to Spencer's car and got into the passenger side before looking around to see if anyone was actually paying attention.

Spencer pulled out of the driveway and onto the main road. She looked around as she drove over to the Day care, and stayed caution. She didn't want to start any rumours and a student driving a teacher around.

"Why do you hate me?" Ezra asked finally breaking the silence.

Spencer let out a snicker, "Because you're stupid Ezra."

"Why? Because I played by Aria's rules? I gave her- her space. I told her how I felt and then she turned me down." Ezra asked getting upset, "Who are you to judge me? Spencer, I know we haven't really known one another. But you should know how much I love her. I get that you want to protect Aria and I get that you are more sister's then friends. But everything I have done over the years was for Aria."

Spencer let out a wicked laugh, "Like cheating on her with my sister?"

Ezra whipped his head to her direction, "What?"

Spencer smiled, "Yup, I sure know what that one. She was really proud to know that she got to a Fitzgerald."

Ezra wiped his lips, "What did she tell you? Does Aria know?"

She shook her head, "No, I would never hurt her like that. I haven't told anyone." Spencer closed her eyes while she pulled the car in park, "She would probably kill herself,"

"I'm sorry." Ezra confused, "it wasn't supposed to happen."

Spencer shook her head, "You know what pisses me off more? It's the fact that Aria was pregnant with your son when it happened. And you didn't even tell her. How could you cheat on someone you say you're in love with?"

Ezra let out a few breaths and then shook his head, "I was upset." He answered honestly.

"Of what?" She exclaimed,

"Because I didn't get to go to Yale." Ezra looked at his hands, "I guess I blamed Aria for getting pregnant at the wrong time."

"Get out of my car." Spencer yelled,"it takes two to make a blessing. And you blame them? How dare you!"

"I didn't mean it like that. Please, I will tell Aria when the time is right. Just please-"Ezra all but cried out, "Don't tell her."

Spencer looked at Ezra. Seeing a defeated man before her, "it's not my problem. It's yours"

LINE BREAK

Ezra stayed up all night thinking about the right time to tell Aria that he potentially slept with another person. He didn't even remember that night; all he could remember was that Wesley had caught him coming out of the back bedroom of the lake house with Melissa Hastings. It was Ezra's graduation party and Aria didn't want to go. She thought that being too far pregnant and having wild teens around would just complicate things.

Ezra sighed and made a fresh pot of coffee. For a few years, Spencer and Ezra had never seen eye to eye. Spencer was like Aria's big sister and if anything or anyone would get in her way. Spencer was the one to take charge and handle things. Aria was more of the romantic type and thought nothing about the drama. Maybe that's why she tried so hard to push him away? Ezra thought as he rubbed his face and headed upstairs to check on Timothy and make sure he was still in bed

It was nearing four in the morning when Ezra heard a thump on the floor and ran to Aria's room to see her trying to hoist herself off the floor.

"What are you doing?" Ezra asked concerned,

"I have to use the bathroom." Aria mumbled, "Why are you here?"

When Ezra came back from his apartment with Aria's car, dinner had been made and Timothy was already done with his bathe. Aria was fast asleep on the couch and Ezra had the pleasure of placing her in bed. "I wanted to make sure you were alright." He replied picking Aria up and placing her on the bed, "You were never good with colds."

Aria rolled her eyes into the darkness of the room, "I have to use the bathroom."

Ezra took her hand and helped her up from the bed. He walked her into the master bathroom and turned on the light. "I'll be out here."

"Thanks."

A few minutes went by and to Ezra it felt like years. Here is the woman he loves and he can't do anything that would make her see that. Yes she apologized for pushing him away. But yet there's this doubt of uncertainty that comes with everything. Was Aria just saying all those things because she's sick and can't think straight? Was it because he was now seeing someone?

As thoughts ran through his mind he never realized that Aria came out of the bathroom until the bed went down. "Are you okay?" She asked, "Why don't' you get some sleep?"

Ezra turned to look at her pale face and graced her cheek, "I will. But let's get you back to bed." Ezra stood up and pushed the blanket away from its position and urged Aria to get in. "What's wrong?" He whispered. "Aria?"

"I'm actually a little hungry." She smiled, "Do you want a sandwich?"

Ezra looked at her with a quizzical glare and then shook his head, "How about I'll make you and sandwich and some tea and you get back into bed. "He pushed her down lightly

"Why are you treating me like this? Ezra, I'm not your patience." Aria grumbled, "I want to walk around. I've been in bed for hours."

"I know," He jumped in. "I just want you to feel better." Ezra closed his eyes and let out a small yawn.

"Why don't' you lie down and I'll make my own sandwich!" Aria sat back up and pushed Ezra down on the bed. But at the same time Ezra grabbed onto her wrist and pulled her down with him. Causing the two to go into giggles.

"Lay down with me?" Ezra asked brushing a few strands of misplaced hair out of her face, "It's been months."

"It's been two years!" Aria retorted, "We can't do this."

"Why can't we? Aria, you and I are still married. I love you and you love me. We can sleep in the same bed." Ezra kissed Aria's neck, "Please."

Aria let out a moan from his touch and then pulled away, "Are you still seeing Ms Taylors?"

Ezra nodded, "Yeah, about that." He sat up on his elbows. "It was just one date. Aria nothing happened between the two of us."

"Are you sure?" Aria asked shaking her head, "Actually don't answer that. Ezra you kissed her in front of me. I'm really hurt by that- that kiss was really uncalled for and I don't know if I can trust you just yet."

Ezra let out a breath and then lent back down on top of the bed while Aria sat up straight and then got off, "I'm going downstairs. I'm sorry Ezra."

Ezra watched as Aria made her way out the door and heard her footsteps as she headed downstairs. Maybe Aria was right. How can she trust him when he lied when the truth was at this point he didn't trust himself?

Review please I love hearing from you. I have the next two chapters written and ready to upload. So... see you then!
