As promised . . .

"Abby?"
"Amy?"

"Aniston?"
"Alicia?"
"Alison?"
"No"
Aria and her soon to be sister in law had been firing back baby names all night. Shortly after finding out she was pregnant and braking it to Ezra, they decided to tell Natalie, so Aria could have at least one confidant. However, Aria wasn't ready to tell Nat, no matter how close they may be, about Ali and everyone else. Even if she would be lying about the years and what not. "How do we even know it'll be a girl?" Aria adjusted her necklace charm. "We don't, it's just wishful thinking!" Natalie giggled. "Well can we at least prep for a little boys name?" Aria was exhausted. They were only on A names and it had been at least two hours. "Fine." Natalie mock huffed.
"Dylan?"
"David?"
"Dalton?"
Aria walked into a phone booth just outside of the complex. She phoned Spencer instructing her to start a four way phone call. Soon all of her friends were on and she started to tell them everything.
"You're What!" They all exclaimed in unison. Aria sighed and awaited the following questions. Of course Hanna would bring forth the most crude one. "You banged Mr. Fitz?" the naughty tone in Hanna's voice tipped Aria off that she didn't object in the slightest. "But, Aria I thought you went on the pill last month just in case." Spencer's alarmed tone let Aria know Spencer was still Spencer. "Well, I was, but apparently in little letters under the 'Only 97% Affective' sign spell 'That means you Aria Montgomery!'. "What are you gonna do?" Emily's voice chimed in.
"We're keeping it. Ezra and I. We talked about it, and if it ever comes to it, we'll just say the baby came early so there's no suspicion over how old I was when the baby was conceived." Aria could hear Hanna giggle at conceived, she always thought it was funny when Aria sounded like she went to college to learn the words that came out of her mouth.
"You guys I know this is crazy, and I have to go but this is so important and I couldn't keep it from you guys. I know I can't always be there to chat anymore, but I will try to as much as I can. I'm hoping it goes without saying no one can tell anyone?" All of her besties sighed a yes and a goodbye and the convo was over.
Dinga Dinga Dinga Dinga Ding! Dinga Dinga Dinga Ding! Dinga Dinga Dinga Ding!
Aria looked down and retrieved her phone as she exited the booth. "Hey baby!" She pitched excitedly. "Aria, can you come to the Apartment, Natalie needs to go over something with you. She says it's urgent." "Sure, be there soon, love you." "Love you, too." Aria could hear the smile in Ezra's voice and she hung up then and walked into the complex.
She opened the door and streamers and confetti and those little high pitch honking whistle things all went off. When it all cleared, Aria saw Ezra and Natalie's smiling faces, cake(among other things) presents and balloons. "What is all of this?" Aria smiled nervously putting down her bag on the back of a Sofa they had recently received from Natalie, only a portion of her and Ezra's gift from Natalie. That gift being a fully furnished apartment.
"Baby Shower!" Natalie screeched loudly. "I'm like barely a month pregnant. Isn't the youngest your supposed to be 5 months?" Aria breathed out, noticing Ezra was enjoying how Aria was slightly freaking out. "Oh, whatever! Presents!" Natalie rushed Aria over to Ezra and gave her a present. After an afternoon of nothing but presents, finger foods and laughing, Natalie left to finish some things at Marius's Firm.
"Oh my god", Aria sighed after pulling off the 'Mommy' crown Natalie had forced her to wear during the duration. Aria saw Ezra looking at her from the side and a sneaky smile crept up on his face. "What?" Aria smiled. "I just love you, that's all." Ezra turned sweeping up the rest of the confetti and what not off the floor.
Suddenly there was a knock at the door. Aria turned to Ezra, "I'll get it, it's probably Natalie." Aria hand fell to the door knob and she opened it with a huge smile, only no see no one there. Aria looked down and say a box with a rattle sticker on top of it. She kneeled down and opened it. Inside was a picture. A blonde girl, smiling slightly holding a baby. She looked like she was hooked up to hospitals and I.V.'s making it obvious it was her newborn baby she was holding. But the blonde girl looked so familiar. Her heart shaped face paired with her sapphire blue eyes. It was . . . Ali. Aria felt a loud gasp escape her lips. On the other side of the picture was a note.
You're not the first Mamma Liar I've silenced -A
BOOM! Plot twist! Will this cause one little liar to run farther, or will she seek out her other besties to read further into this? And who was Ali's baby daddy? Ian? Toby? Mike Montgomery? Or . . . is it even Ali. Sure it looks like her, but is it her or is this just one of A's tricks. Who's to say? Y'know who? Me . . .
Love y'all, and I will talk to you soon. Look for the next chapter soon. Not too soon, but maybe in 2 or 3 days.
