Hey guys! I would appreciate it if you read the au at the bottom of this chapter! Thanks so much. Enjoy! :)

I regain consciousness to a pounding headache. It's so bad that I can nothing but cry for the one person I know can always make me feel better. "Ezra." I groan.

I feel someone wrap their arms around me and at first I'm relieved, thinking its Ezra, but these aren't Ezra's arms. They feel…different. My eyes snap open in fear however, I'm immediately relived to see my best friend hovering over me.

"Aria, it's ok. It's me. What hurts?" She asks, concern written across her features. "My head, Spence. Get Ezra." I cry.

Her eyes widen and she bites her bottom lip nervously. "What is it?" I ask, sitting up.

When she doesn't answer I get worried. Where's Ezra? Did something happen to him? "Spence! Answer my question."

"Calm down. He's fine. He's just not…here." She answers, still hesitant. "Where is he?" I ask, looking for my phone to call my boyfriend. "Aria, stop. You're freaking out over nothing. He went back to his apartment to get some rest because he had a headache. He's coming back to pick you up in twenty minutes. He didn't think you would be waking up before he got back."

I exhale. "A headache? Did you tell the Doctor, Spence? It could be serious. I don't like the idea of him being at the apartment alone…" She nods, "We told him and he gave Ezra some painkillers. Everything's under control Aria. Now I'm gonna go get the nurse and let her know you're awake. She'll bring you something for your head."

"Okay." I mumble. I almost forgot about my pounding head when she told me about Ezra. Spencer hugs me one last time, "I'm so glad you're okay. I love you, Aria. Last night was the most terrifying night of my life and I'm sure it was hell for Ezra. He really loves you."

I smile, "I know. I love you too, Spence." She kisses my forehead before leaving the room, leaving me alone with my thoughts.

I was almost killed last night. If Ezra hadn't gotten there in time I'd be in a body bag at the morgue right about now. But, Ezra found me. He saved my life. I'm alive and safe. Ezra and I are back to normal. So I have nothing to worry about, right?

I sigh. For the first time in a long time I'm…okay. Or at least everything around me is "okay." Ezra's sick but for at least the time being he's doing well.

The only thing I have to do now is make sure he stays that way. The only way to do that is to stay with Ezra at all times, but I can't do that with my parents always wanting me back home. The only solution would be to…move in.

Why didn't I think of that before? It's perfect! Ezra will be safe and I'll be able to sleep at night knowing he's safe. I'm sure Ezra wouldn't mind if I stayed with him, would he? It would only be until we found a house to live in together…

I'm interrupted from my thoughts when a frantic Ezra practically sprints into my room and wraps his arms around me. "Hey, beautiful. I'm sorry I wasn't here. I thought I would be back before you woke up." He mumbles, kissing my forehead. He lets his lips linger on my skin and I inhale his cinnamon scent before he pulls away.

"How's your head?" Ezra asks, pushing my hair behind my ear.

"It's not that bad anymore." I lie, snuggling into his chest. He sighs, "I'm gonna get you out of here, Aria. We'll go back to the apartment and I'll spend the entire day taking care of you. I know you hate the hospital."

I smile, "The hospital isn't so bad when you're here. I just don't like being alone." Ezra kisses the top of my head, "You'll never be alone, Aria. I'll always be here."

Just then, a nurse enters the room along with my best friend. "Who's ready to go home?" She smiles brightly. "Me." I giggle.

"You're very lucky, Mrs. Montgomery. You and your baby boy are gonna be just fine." I look up at my fiancé with admiration, "Thanks to Ezra." He squeezes my hand, a look of pride and happiness on his face.

The nurse hands me an Advil and Ezra fills out my discharge papers. Soon enough, we're in the car heading back to the apartment.

"Ezra?" I ask, breaking the comfortable silence in the car.

"Yeah, baby?" He replies, keeping his eyes on the road. I continue, nervously. "I love you. So… I want to know you're safe, always. When I don't know where you are… I get nervous and I feel sick. I don't want something to happen-"

He cuts me off, "Aria. What is it? You can tell me anything, you know that."

I sigh, "Can I stay at your apartment?" Ezra chuckles and I play with my fingers in my lap. "Of course you can, sweetheart. I already told you I would take care of you."

He thinks I'm asking him to spend the night.

"No. I mean, permanently. I want to move in with you. Please. It would be make me feel a thousand times better if you weren't at the apartment alone." I mumble, barely making out the words.

Ezra's eyes widen and then a wide smile stretches across his lips. "And here I was thinking I'd have to get a ring on that beautiful little finger of yours before I'd be able to get you to more in." He shakes his head, laughing.

"So I can move in?" I ask, my eyes widening. This was definitely not the reaction I was expecting from him.

Ezra squeezes my hand, "Yes. I want to spend every day waking up to your gorgeous face."

I lean over to kiss his cheek, overcome with emotion. "I love you. Thank you so much. I love you. Thank you." He chuckles yet again, "You're silly, baby girl. Anything you want is yours, I told you." I sigh in contentment. Now all I have to do is tell my parents…about everything.

We're back at the apartment in no time. Ezra opens the car door for me before scooping me into his arms. "Get ready to be pampered out of your mind." He whispers in my ear. I giggle and hide my face in the crook of his neck.

I kiss Ezra's neck as he carries me into the apartment and lays me gently on the couch. Without a word, he kisses my forehead and walks into the bathroom.

I hear him turn on the water before walking back to me and lifting me into his arms. He carries me into the bathroom and sets me down on my feet.

I watch as he pours a clear liquid into the rising water. Bubbles begin to fill the bathtub.

"A bath does sound really good right now." I sigh wrapping my arms around Ezra's torso. He chuckles, "I thought you'd say that." He turns around and kisses me softly. "Do you want me to leave while you get dressed?"

I shake my head, "Can you help me?" He nods before pulling my sweatshirt above my head and unclasping my bra. Suddenly, he begins leaving soft kisses from below my ear to my collarbone. I shiver in delight.

I then slide down my knit shorts and lace panties before stepping into the warm water and sighing. "Does it feel good, sweetheart?" Ezra asks.

I nod and close my eyes, letting the water sooth my tired body. I hear Ezra leaving the room and immediately call out to him. "Ezra?"

"What, sweetheart?"

"Can you get it with me? Please?" I mumble, biting my lip. He nods and pulls of his shirt before sliding down his pants and boxers. I scoot forward in the tub to make room for him.

Ezra slides into the water behind me and wraps his arms around me before kissing the top of my head. "I love you." I whisper sincerely. "I adore you." He replies. I look up and him, "Adore?"

"I wanted to find a word stronger than love." He explains. "Adoration. It means deep love. That was the closest I could get to the way I feel about you. But, Aria…when I look at you, there aren't enough words in the universe to explain the way I feel. I love you with everything inside me. Nothing can be right if you're not okay."

I nod, at a complete loss for words. "I adore you, Ezra." I whisper. I feel almost ashamed of my lame attempt to express my true feelings for this man. Although, Ezra just about nailed exactly how I felt.

We spend a few moments in complete silence before Ezra leans down to whisper in my ear. "So…a baby boy." I smile widely, "Can you believe it, Ezra? We're gonna be a family." He chuckles at my enthusiasm. "Have you thought of any names yet?"

Aiden is the first thing that comes to mind. Ever since I was a little girl I've always wanted a little boy named Aiden. "Yes." I nod. "Aiden. Aiden Fitz."

I don't have to turn around to know Ezra's beaming. "Do you like it?" I ask, nervously. He tightens his arms around me. "I love it. I guess I'm still wrapping my mind around the fact that in nine months I'm gonna be a daddy."

I smile, "I wouldn't want anyone else to be the father of my children."

Ezra kisses my cheek before stepping out of the bathtub and wrapping a towel around his torso. "I'll be back in a second."

After about a minute, Ezra returns dressed in his flannel pajama pants. He grabs a fresh towel and lifts me out of the water before carrying me bridal style into his bedroom. He places me on the bed and walks over to his dresser to grab a pair of my panties and my favorite t-shirt of his from my personal drawer.

He hands them to me and I pull the t-shirt over my head before sliding into the panties.

Ezra then pulls back the covers on his bed and gets in, pulling me with him. I sigh in delight and snuggle closer to him.

"We're gonna be okay, baby. I'll get better and then I'm gonna make you my wife. I love you and our son so so much." Ezra whispers, kissing the top of my head.

I nod, tearfully. "We love you too, Ezra."

I UPDATED, FINALLY. Please please please don't kill me. I know it took forever and I have no excuse. I'm sorry. But I like the way this chapter turned out and I hope you did to. Most importantly, I need your guys' input. What do you think about "Aiden" for their son? I really like it. And I know some of you were saying you wanted Aria to move in, there you go! Please don't hold back any ideas or comments. I really want to make this story something you all enjoy reading. So, if there is something you want me to include in the story line...LET ME KNOW. :) Thank you very very much for reading and as always, PLEASE REVIEW.
