Chapter 14: Secret meeting

Hanna and Caleb drove her close to Philly and stopped right before its entrance. Ezra was waiting for them there, leaning on his car with arms crossed before his chest. Aria said her goodbye to her friends and went to him. He opened his arms for her and she threw herself in there. Her head rested on his chest and she felt his lips touching to top of her head. That was her place. That was her home. She heard Hanna and Caledb's car driving away and finally pulled back. Ezra was smiling and she touched his face. She loved his smile. It was so real, cute and genuine. It was like he was smiling only for her. She couldn't help herself and leaned to kiss him. It was as if they hadn't seen each other in forever.

"Hey," he said finally and opened the door of his car for her.

"Hey," Ariz grinned. "Are you ready?" She asked him when he got into the car as well.

"Yes," Ezra looked at her briefly and started the engine. "I am ready."

"Okay," Aria nodded and rubbed his thigh. "Let's go then. I think we'll be there just in time."

"Okay," Ezra coughed. "Something else I need to know?"

"Well," Aria shrugged. "I used your name the first time I was there. But then I decided that I'm going with my own."

"Why?" He gave her a quick look.

"Because I want doctor Martin to be my doctor," Aria looked at him. "She already have my medical record and everything. She gave me prescription for the vitamins and she didn't call to my parents."

"Why?"

"I don't know," Aria shrugged. "I think she's really cool."

"Really cool?" Ezra chuckled.

"What?" Aria frowned. "Did I just sounded like a teenager?"

"You are... a teenager." He went serious and that made her frown.

"Are we going through this again?" She mumbled. "I'm getting tired already."

"I'm sorry," Ezra coughed and looked at the GPS, showing him the way to doctor Martin's office. "So your doctor knows about me? She knows about us?"

"She only knows that you're older than me," Aria leaned back on her seat. "And she knows that you're with me on this. I think she was glad to know that I won't be a single mother."

"Oh?"

"Yeah," Aria paused for a second. "She thought that I want to make an abortion. I can't blame her. People see how young I am and... they simply jump into conclusion."

"You are young, Aria," Ezra parked the car in front of doctor Martin's office. "But I also think that you can't judge the book by its covers."

"Yep," Aria nodded and leaned to kiss him again. "Let's go now."

They got out of the car and he took her hand. Aria grinned, lacing her fingers with his ones. It felt like they are pretty normal couple right now. This was why she loved to come in Philly with Ezra. Nobody knew them and nobody pay any attention to them. His thumb rubbed hers one for a brief moment. It was like he was trying to comfort her and Aria was thankful for that.

When they knocked on doctor Martin's door, she was already waiting for them. She smiled when she saw that Aria was not alone.

"That's the father, I presume?" She offered her hand to Ezra and he took it. "Hello, I'm doctor Martin."

"Call me Ezra," Ezra shook doctor Martin's hand and smiled. "It's nice to meet you."

"Aria told me about you the last time we saw each other," the nice doctor said and she took her place behind her small desk. "I can see why she loves you so much."

"Is she?" Ezra looked at Aria, who was blushing. "Thank you."

"Now," doctor Martin looked at them when they sat opposite her. "Do you take your vitamins? And the Folic acid?"

"Yes," Aria answered. "I take them just they way you told me."

"Okay," doctor Martin opened her medical record and called for a nurse. "Now we have to take some blood to see if everything is alright."

"Okay," Aria nodded and followed the nurse.

Ezra followed her with worrying eyes, until they hid in the next room. Doctor Martin noticed his look and smiled.

"Don't worry," she said and he looked at her. "She's young so everything should be fine."

"I," he shifted on his chair, "I'm sure it will be."

"Then? What is bothering you?"

"She's dealing with lots of things lately," Ezra said quietly. "She insists that everything is fine, but..."

"She's not as strong as she used to be?" Doctor Martin gave him a knowing look and he nodded. "Well, I have to say that's completely normal. As far as I can say, Aria is a really strong and independent girl, although I should say a woman already. She knows what she wants and what to do to get it."

"Trust me, I know that," Ezra laughed quietly.

"Then... you don't have to worry too much," doctor Martin smiled. "I'm sure that everything will be okay."

"Can I ask you something?" Ezra asked, throwing a brief look at the door, where Aria was. "Why didn't you call her parents? I know you're obligated and..."

"I've seen lots of stuff in my career," doctor Martin interrupted him. "Most of the girls in her condition are coming here for abortion." She sighed and stared at him. "But Aria came here with something else in her mind. She wanted to keep the baby. It took me just one look to notice that she would fight for her child. And something tells me that her parents won't be happy."

"No," Ezra shook his head. "They won't."

"And... she's not alone in this," doctor Martin stared at him. "Most of the girls in her age are. They got pregnant, got dumped and the next thing they do is... to come here and... fix the problem. That's how they call their pregnancy, a problem. Aria didn't do that."

"So you decided to help her?" Ezra lowered his voice.

"I will," doctor Martin smiled. "So you don't have to worry, okay?"

"Okay," Ezra nodded just when Aria came back in the room. "Hey?" He smiled at her.

"Hey," she smiled back. "What are we going to do now?" She looked at doctor Martin.

"Now," she nodded at the ultrasound. "Let me check how the things are while we're waiting for the results."

"Oh?" Aria looked confused. "But I thought it's still early?"

"No," the doctor shook her head. "It's not."

She helped Aria to climb onto the medical table and turned on the ultrasound machine. Ezra walked to them and she took his hand. His thumb caressed hers again and she smiled. Yeah, she loved him so much. He was there, beside of her and she felt relaxed. Doctor Martin helped her with her blouse and then squirmed some gel onto her belly. She pressed the affix of the machine to her belly and stared at the small screen in front of her. Aria flinched, because the gel was cold, but the feeling was far from unpleasant.

"Okay," doctor Martin said few minutes later. "Everything looks good so far."

"It does?" Aria looked at her and get off the table.

"Yes," the doctor nodded. "Now we only need your blood results and we're done for today."

"Good," Aria smiled at Ezra when their eyes met, but she lost her balance on their way back to their seats. "Oops!"

"What happened?" Doctor Martin looked at her.

"It happens a lot lately," Ezra answered instead.

"It does?"the doctor looked at him.

"Not so..."

"It does!" He interrupted Aria.

"Okay... we have to check this then."

Few minutes later the results were read and were on doctor Martin's desk. She studied them carefully and then looked up at Aria. "Do you eat?" She asked all of a sudden.

"Yes," Aria nodded with confusion. "I haven't lost my appetite. Why?"

"There are signs for anemia, but..." doctor Martin rubbed her chin. "I don't think we should worry, yet."

"Yet?" Aria grasped Ezra hand. "What is that supposed to mean?"

"Lower your stress and everything will be fine," doctor Martin smiled. "I'm gonna give a new prescription."

"Okay," Aria nodded and looked at Ezra. He tried to smile and squeezed her hand.

They left the doctor's office few minutes later. Aria was extremely nervous, but she was trying not to show that to Ezra. The thing was, he knew her too well and he could tell that something bothered her. He didn't say a thing though. They got into the car and drove off in silence, only stopping at one place to buy the new vitamins. Then they were on their way to Rosewood.

"Don't worry," he squeezed her hand briefly and she looked at him. "I know you and I know what you're thinking. Just... don't worry too much, okay?"

"But..."

"No but!" He looked at her for a moment. "Just relax and take it easy. I'll make sure for the rest of it."

"You do?"

"I'm looking for apartments in Philly," he changed the subject. "I picked a few, but you have to see them and decide where do you want us to live."

"Really?" She grinned.

"Really!" He winked at her.

"I love you!" Aria leaned to give him a quick kiss.

"I know," he stared at her with all the love in the world, gathered in his eyes. "I know you do."
