Ezra's POV:
It's 1 am and I'm woken up by the noise of my phone ringing. I pick it up and see that I have over 3 missed calls from Aria. I instantly get another call and I answer it straight away.
Ezra: Hey Aria? What's up?
Aria: Ezra, y-you need to get down to the hospital right now.
Ezra: Aria, calm down. What's happened?
Aria: It's Lola, she's having trouble breathing. They have tried to use breathing tubes, but nothing's working! They don't know if she will survive or not!
Ezra: Calm down, I'm on my way. Do thee girls and your parents know?
Aria: Yeah, I told them not to come right now. All I want is you Ezra.
Ezra: I'm coming.
As I end the phone call, I pull some clothes on, grab my car keys and head to the hospital. I get there within 10 minutes. When I finally enter the hospital, I run to the room where aria is.
Ezra: Oh Aria!
I see her sitting on the hospital bed with her head in her hands, crying hysterically. I run over and give her a hug.
Aria: What if she doesn't make it Ezra?!
Ezra: Don't you dare think or say that!
I'm crying now.
Aria: But it's the truth. This is all my fault. I should have been more careful during the pregnancy.
Ezra: Aria, you do not have to blame yourself for this. This is no ones fault. These things happen. I know that you're a fighter and Lola Jade has inherited that from you. She will pull through.
Aria: I hope so.
Kathy: Aria, Ezra. Can I talk to you.
As Doctor McQueen comes in, she sits on the chair and I'm sitting on Aria's bed.
Aria's POV:
Kathy: We don't know what has caused Lola-Jade to have breathing difficulty's, we have managed to get in under control, but she will need medical supervision 24 hours a day.
Aria: Is she going to be ok?
Kathy: We will know more in a day or two. Her heart rate is steady at the moment, but it did dramatically drop.
Ezra: What's gonna happen in a day or two?
Kathy: Well, we will probably do some checkups and see if she can breathe on her own. When we do the checkups, it will be tests to see if there's anything wrong with her insides. I'll leave you to talk.
Aria: Oh My God!
Ezra: Calm down. She said that her breathing is under control.
Aria: Yeah, by a machine that almost failed.
Ezra: You know what Aria! Our baby is fighting for her life and all you can do is fear the worst and think negative!
By now, me and Ezra are shouting at eachother.
Aria: Ezra, I'm trying to be strong, but after everything, this is pushing me to the limit.
Ezra: Be negative, is not being strong. It's being selfish and only thinking about yourself.
Aria: I'm sorry. I'm scared ok. I'm scared for you, for me and for Lola Jade. If she dies, I will never forgive myself.
Ezra: There it is again. Stop blaming yourself for god sake. I know your scared. I dint think I could feel any different, but your attitude need to change. I don't want a wife who always thinks negative and is so fucking self centred.
Aria: You don't mean that.
Now I'm crying.
Ezra: Change you attitude, or something we will both regret.
Aria: What are you talking about?!
Ezra: I'm talking about a divorce!
Ezra's POV:
I'm about to leave when…
Aria: Please don't go Ezra. I love you so much, and the thing that keeps me going is your positivity. I realise now that Lola-Jade will pull through. Your right, I am being self centred and selfish. I love you.
Ezra: I can't stand to be angry at you. Divorce is not an option for us. I love you so much, and I promise to come and see you tomorrow. Right now, I need space.
Aria: Ok. I love you.
Ezra: I love you to.
As I kiss and hug my wife tenderly and I leave with a couple of tears streaming down my face. Just as I'm outside the door, I can hear my wife crying into her pillow. I run back in, not being able to bear the sound of her being upset.
Aria: Ezra!
I walk fast back over to her bed and her her tight and kiss her passionately the lips.
Ezra: I'm sorry I shouted. We are forever.
Aria: No, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been so rude.
Ezra: We are together forever.
Aria: And nothing will change or break that.
Ezra: I'm going to see Kathy about Lola-Jade.
As I leave the room, I walk down the hall where Kathy is talking to another doctor.
Ezra: Kathy. I've been thinking about what you said, and I realise you know something that me and Aria don't.
Kathy sighs.
Kathy: Ezra, sit down.
Me and Kathy sit down on the chairs where we were standing
Ezra: What's wrong with my daughter?
Kathy: Ezra, the doctors did a scan. They think that Lola-Jade has a hole in her heart.
Aria's POV:
I'm sitting in the bed reading a book when Ezra walks on slowly with his hand over his mouth. He looks shocked. The he bursts into tears and drops to his knees on the floor. I get out of bed and go straight to him and give him a hug.
Aria: What's wrong Ezra?
Ezra: It's Lola-Jade.
Aria: What about her?
Ezra: The doctors think she has a hole in her heart!
I burst into tears and Ezra hugs me back.
Ezra: They are going to do some more tests and if they come back positive, then she will need a heart transplant.
Aria: Oh my god! This can't be happening.
Now I'm pacing around the room and Ezra's sitting on a chair.
Aria: They must have read it wrong. None of this can be true. I want all the tests done again.
Ezra: Aria calm down! This is going to happen, and we have to stick together.
Aria: Does my mom know?
Ezra: Yeah, the doctors have the girls and your family's details.
There's an knock at the door and my mom walks in.
Aria: Oh mom!
My mom runs over to me and wraps her arms tight around me. You can tell that she has been crying for at least an hour.
Ella: Aria,my our so strong. If this was you or Mike, I don't think I would have found the strength to get through this.
Aria: Mom, my strength came from my husband. Ezra is being so supportive. He is going to make a great father.
Ezra: I'll always be there for my family and for yours Ella.
Ella: You are our family Ezra. You have been from day one.
Ezra's POV:
Ezra: Thank you Ella.
Ella: Ok, I gotta go. Your father will probably be wondering where I am.
Aria: Ok, send my love to him and Mike.
Ella: Right now, you need their love more than anything. But I'll do it anyway.
Ella pecks her daughter on the head and leaves.
Ezra: I'm going to feast some coffee, do you want anything?
Aria: Yes please, tea, with milk.
Ezra: And two sugars.
Aria: So you do listen to me?!
After about 5 minutes, I return with a coffee in one hand and a tea in the other.
Aria: Thank you baby.
Me and Aria are slurping away at our hot drinks. We seem happy, but that is only short lived. Then Aria's face drops and she puts her tea aside.
Aria: This is what I've dreamed of for years. To be happy with a baby and a husband.
Ezra: You have both of those things.
Aria: Yeah but one could be taken away, just like that.
There's a knock on the door, and Kathy walks in.
Ezra: Whats happened.
has a very concerned look on her face.
Aria: Did you do the tests or not?
Kathy: We did do the tests Aria. It was very difficult to get accurate, so we had to do them a couple of times. We sent the tests off eventually and they came back quicker than expected.
Aria: Well?
Kathy: the tests came back…
