Aria's pregnancy had been going from strength to strength and so had hers and Jason's marriage. He worked a lot to make sure they were finicially stable to look after their child. Jason and Aria had already learned that they were expecting twins - but both decided not to learn the sex of each baby until the birth. It was only when Aria went shopping for baby clothes and prams with Hanna that she began to regret they idea. "Aww, Han, I wish I had got the nurse to tell me whether I was having boys or girls or both." Aria sighed as she ran a hand over her bump.
"You have your scan tomorrow, just ask her then."
"But Jason and I decided to wait until they're born.."
"You think Jason would mind? Please. He worships you! He'll be happy whether you ask for the sex of your babies or not. Go for it! I want to know the sex of my Godchildren" Hanna replied.
"Your Godchildren?"
"Yeah. You're obviously going to chose me."
"Okay Han.." Aria brushed off Hanna's comment. "So, how much money did you get off Jason to spend today? and what's he expecting you to come home with?"
"Let's just say I've been given a lot! And I have no idea.."
"Let's leave baby shopping for today cause it's pretty obvious you're not in the right state of mind. Let's go look at shoes!" Hanna gently pushed Aria out of the store.
Aria and Hanna left the shopping mall two hours later. "Hey baby!" Jason called out as he heard the front door close.
"Hey.."
"What did you get?" Jason asked as Aria sat down on the couch next to him.
"Shoes.." Aria bit her lip.
"Shoes for the babies?" Jason furrowed his eyebrows.
"Shoes for me.." Aria smirked.
"Aria.." Jason sighed as he looked across at her.
"I need to talk to you about something." Aria told him.
"What is it?"
"You know how we decided not to know the sex of the babies until they were born.."
"Yeah.."
"I wanted to find out tomorrow instead. It would be shopping for them a whole lot easier."
"Whatever you want baby."
Aria squealed. "Aww thank you!" Aria wrapped her arms and around his neck and as he turned his head towards her, gave him a kiss.
Later that night they lay in bed talking about the most random things they found amusing - or Aria found amusing. Aria was the chatterbox of the couple and Jason was the one who always listened. "You done?" Jason asked as Aria had not spoken for a few moments.
Aria slapped Jason's chest. "Yes!"
Jason chuckled slightly. "So, do you want to hear about my day?"
"Of course." Aria placed a kiss on his chest.
"I was given plans for a new high school they want to build here in Rosewood. They want to knock down the existing school and build on that land again. And I've been put in charge."
"That's amazing! But where are all the students going to learn?"
"They're hoping to start the rebuild one building at a time. So we'd knock down the technology block, rebuild that, then knock down the sciences block and just keep going like that.."
"Oh I see. Well that should be cool." Aria commented.
"I hope so. Anyway, what times the scan tomorrow?"
"9am."
"Okay, you want to go to sleep?" Jason asked as he yawned.
"Yeah.."
Jason leaned over and turned off the lamp before setting an alarm on his phone to wake them up in the morning.
8 hours later, Aria woke up - excited at the prospect of learning the gender of their babies. "Morning handsome." Aria peppered kisses over Jason's collarbone. Jason moaned and turned over so he was facing Aria, still asleep. Aria decided to leave him and go and start to get ready. 30 minutes later, Jason's alarm went off and he joined her in the bathroom. Aria had just stepped out of the shower and was standing naked at the basin brushing her teeth. Aria was very comfortable around Jason and loved how he was captivated by her pregnancy body, that she was happy enough to walk around without clothes on even though she was 15lbs heavier and had a few stretch marks. As Jason entered the bathroom, he saw her gazing at herself in the mirror and decided to wrap his arms around her from behind and rub a hand over her bump before placing a kiss to her shoulder.
At exactly 9:00 Jason and Aria arrived at the hospital for their scan. Aria's leg was bouncing up and down so frantically that Jason and to restrain it by placing his hand on her knee. "Calm down baby."
"It's exciting though!" "Aria DiLaurentis!" they heard the nurse call. Both stood up and walked over to her.
"Hi!" Aria beamed.
"Nice to meet you I'm Nurse Hudson and you are..?" she asked as she held out her hand for Jason to shake.
"Jason DiLaurentis. Aria's husband and father of the babies."
"Forgive me.. if you want to follow me." The nurse led them into the room and asked Aria to lay down. She squirted the gel onto Aria's bump and moved the monitor around. "All is well.. I have the perfect view at the moment if you want to know the gender.." "Yes please!" Aria answered.
"It looks like you two are having one of each. Congratulations!" Aria smiled and bit her lip and she sqeezed Jason's hand.
