A/N: Thanks for the reviews! So Sorry for not updating sooner. My stupid piece of shit of a computer just stopped fricken working. Anyways, its fixed now and i made this chapter a bit longer to make up for the wait. Enjoy!

No. Sophie had to be around somewhere. Maybe she didn't look hard enough. She glanced around once more before heading into the office. Nervously and trying her best to remain calm she walked inside the double doors that led into the office.

"H-hi. I'm Aria Fitz, Sophie Fitz mom. Do you know where she is?" She stuttered.

"Your daughter was picked up a few minutes ago." The secretary explained. Aria felt relieved immediately. Ezra had heard her message after all.

"Thank you." She smiled before walking out. Her hands were still shaking when she took her phone out of her purse and called Ezra.

"Hello?" She heard him answer

"You could've at least let me know you got my calls and texts. Do you have any idea how worried I was?" Aria yelled.

"Aria? What the hell are you talking about."

"I'm talking about the fact that I just went through hell thinking Sophie was missing just because you couldn't call or text me to let me know you picked her up."

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"W-what do you mean?"

"I didn't pick her up. She's not with me."

"No." Aria whispered. "No." She cried before hanging up. The tears began falling freely down her face. There must be some sort of mistake. Surely one of the girls picked her up. She texted them all and shortly got a reply from Spencer and Emily saying they didn't. Aria couldn't wait any longer for Hanna's reply. She somehow managed to dial her number. She could feel her heart pounding louder than ever. After 3 rings she finally heard her voice.

"Aria?"

"H-hhanna please tell me Sophie is with you. Please." Aria cried.

"What's wrong?"

"Please just tell me she's with you. That you picked her up."

"Ar, she's not." Hanna replied. Upon hearing those words Aria lost it. She stood there frozen.

"Aria? Aria?" Silence."Aria where are you? What's going on?" Aria could hear Hanna's voice but at that moment she was in shock. She couldn't move. She sat down on the concrete, bringing her knees up to her chest. She sat there, completely incapable of moving. Hanna almost immediately drove to the Elementary School.

"Aria? Where are you?" Hanna's voice called. She tried responding but she couldn't talk. Soon she heard the footsteps getting closer and closer.

"Aria? What's wrong?" Hanna asked rushing to her side as soon as she saw her.

"S-sophie. Someone took Sophie." She sobbed, leaning into Hanna's embrace.

"Are you sure? Maybe Ezra or one one of the girls picked her up." Hanna said. Aria shook her head and cried harder.

"No. I talked to them. She's gone. How am I gonna tell Ezra?"

"We'll find her." Hanna assured her. "Come on. Lets get you home."

Ezra paced back and forth through the kitchen. The call he'd received from Aria while he was at Hollis had him very worried. He'd tried calling her back but his several attempts failed. He was about to call her again when he heard the front door open.

"Aria, where have you been? What was that call about?"He asked stepping into the living room. He paused when he noticed the sight in front of him. Aria's eyes were puffy and Sophie wasn't with her. He watched as Hanna ushered Sadie upstairs and placed Tyler in his playpen.

"Aria? Where's Sophie?" Aria couldn't answer. Instead she leaned into Hanna and cried.

"Aria?" he raised his voice

"She's gone." she sobbed. "Someone took her."

"What do you mean?" Ezra yelled.

"Ezra." Hanna whispered.

"When I went to go get her, she wasn't there. They told me someone had already picked her up" Aria cried. " I thought it was you had picked her up. We need to call the police."

"Can you please expla-" Ezra started but was cut off by the phone ringing. They all stared at each other. After letting it ring for a few seconds, Aria was the first to run to it.

"Hello?" Aria croaked.

"Is this Aria Montgomery?" An unfamiliar voice asked.

" Who is this?"

"That doesn't matter. We have your daughter Sophie." The voice explained

"No." Aria sobbed. "Please don't hurt do you want?"

"Listen carefully. If you even think about telling the police about this you can forget about ever seeing you daughter again."

"We won't. Just don't hurt her."she begged "What do you want?"

"I'll call later. Remember, unless you want your daughter dead, don't mention anything to the police. Bye."

As Aria heard those words she let the phone drop to the floor.

"Aria? What happened?

"Someone has her." She whispered. "They threatened to kill her if we told the police."Aria whimpered. Hanna soon joined her crying and Ezra followed.

"This is all my fault."

"Aria, don't say that?" Hanna soothed.

"It is. If I would've been there minutes earlier, she would be here with me."

"Why were you late?" Ezra asked. "What possibly was more important than picking up our daughter?"

"Ez-"

"You know, I don't need to hear it. I think I already know the answer."

"What are you trying to say?" Aria questioned.

"You were probably off with Jakob." Ezra screamed. Aria couldn't believe it. He was accusing her. This hurt her more than anything. She cried even harder leaning into Hanna.

"Ezra. How could you say that?" Hanna asked

"It's probably true and you're right Aria." He said turning towards her. "This is all your fault."

"I called you to tell you to pick her up. I had an unexpected meeting."

"A meeting really?" Ezra laughed. "A meeting named Jakob. Just know this, whatever happens to Sophie will all be your fault."

"Ezra just stop" Aria yelled before running upstairs. Ezra suddenly regretted saying everything though he didn't show it.

" You really are a jerk." Hanna stated before going up to comfort Aria. Ezra sighed as he leaned on the wall. Why did everything have to change? Why did Sophie have to go missing?

The early morning sunlight caused Aria to awake. Ezra wasn't beside her. She rubbed her eyes trying to take in what was going on. Then she remembered. Sophie was missing. Ezra was pissed and last night had been hell. With Sophie being gone and Ezra's accusations, Aria felt horrible. Hanna had decided to spend the night to help comfort her and to help with the kids since Ezra wasn't being much of a help. They had told everyone, except the police about what had happened. And at the moment everyone was just hoping for the best. She slowly got out of bed. She felt frustrated, frustrated that she couldn't do anything to get her baby girl back. She called in at work saying she wouldn't be able to make it, she wanted to spend the day waiting for something from the kidnappers,anything. All through the night, Aria kept the phone tight against her, not leaving it for a second, not closing her eyes at all. Though she did manage to get some sleep, she was exhausted but that didn't matter, she only cared about finding Sophie. Once she was dressed she walked over to the guest room.

"Han." Aria whispered.

"Hey."Hanna rubbed her eyes. "Have they called again?" Aria shook her head as tears began to fall. "Hey, we'll find her don't worry." Hanna soothed.

"How can we be sure? We can't tell the police and I have no idea where to even start looking."

"We'll figure it out. We need everyone's help. We'll find her. I promise."

"Thank you." Aria whimpered.

"But do you have any idea who would take her? Someone you suspect?"

"No. No one has a reason to hurt her." Aria said. She started thinking of possibilities. It soon hit her. "except maybe Noel. He lives here now and we both know we aren't on good terms."

"Do you really think Noel would do that?"

"I don't know. But I'm gonna find out." Aria said getting up. "Can you watch the kids?"

"Sure. What if Ezra asks where you are?"

"He won't. He's not even here anymore. I don't know where he is and I don't care."

"Ar?"

"Hm?"

"Will you guys be ok? You and Ezra?"

"I don't know anymore. It's like I don't even know him." Aria sighed. "Anyways, I'll be back soon."

"Ok. Be careful."

"I will." Aria said as she walked out.

"Mommy?" Aria heard as she was heading down the stairs.

"What is it Sadie?"

"Where's Sophie?" Sadie asked. This broke Aria's heart since she couldn't tell her.

"She's at a friends. She'll come back soon." Aria said as tear ran down her cheek.

"Why are you crying?" Sadie asked concerned

"No reason baby. Auntie Hanna is gonna watch you and Ty for a bit ok?"

"Ok. See you later." Sadie said. Aria returned a weak smile.

Ezra took a drink of his scotch. It was way too early to be drinking but what more could he do. He couldn't do anything. Everything was a mess.

"Can I have another?" He asked the bartender.

"Right here." he replied handing him his drink.

Ezra started thinking on how their lives changed so quickly. They went from being the happy family to a complete disaster. Sure he blamed Aria but could it be that maybe part of it was his fault too? He gulped down the last bit of his drink and walked out. He didn't know what to do. He couldn't go home. He needed to find something that would help him find Sophie. Who would do something like this to them? Who would want to hurt them? He thought about it for a long time. Noel. or maybe even Jackie. He angrily got in his car and was determined to find out. Soon he arrived at Jackie's place and knocked loudly on the door. In a matter of seconds the door flew open and Jackie was standing there confused.

"Ezra?"

"Where is she?"

"What?"

"Sophie. Where is she. I know you have her."

"Ezra what are you talking about? I don't."

"Don't lie." His voice grew louder.

"Ezra, I swear I don't know what you're talking about." Jackie defended herself. Ezra wasn't in the mood to argue anymore.

"This isn't over." Ezra said before walking back to his car.

Aria cried uncontrollably as she drove. She had confronted Noel and he denied everything. He seemed honest but could she really believe him? Deciding she couldn't go back home in the state she was in, she stopped by at the park for some fresh air. She walked for a few minutes just thinking of possible ways to find her daughter but nothing came to mind. He thoughts were soon broken by her phone ringing. Unknown. She nervously slid her finger over accept call.

"H-hello?" She asked, her voice barely a whisper.

"Aria. So nice to talk to you. Its a shame to hear what's going on." The voice said. She immediately recognized that voice.

"What do you want?" She hissed.

"I don't want anything. But I'm sure you want your dear little Sophie back don't you?"

"You have her? How could you? What do you want from us. Please don't hurt her." Aria begged.

"That all depends on you and if you do everything right."

"What do you want me to do? I'll do anything." She sobbed. "Please. Just don't hurt her."

"Aw. Such a caring mother. Now listen. You want Sophie back? Listen carefully." The voice explained.

"I'm listening."

"Hey." Hanna greeted her as she walked in. "How'd it go?" Hanna asked.

"Nothing new." She simply replied not telling her about the call she'd received earlier. "Where are the kids?"

"Taking a nap." she smiled. "Hey, are you sure we shouldn't contact the police or get Caleb to try and track down the number they called from yesterday?"

"No. Not the police. You heard them." Aria panicked. "And it's an unknown number, I don't think there's much we can do."

"We can try."

"I guess."

"Hey Spencer and Em came over for a bit. I told them to go home. They're really worried too."

"Thanks. Has Ezra came back."

"No. Sorry." Hanna said giving her a sympathetic smile.

"Thanks." She sighed. "Anyways, I guess all there's left to do is wait until they call. You should go back home. Thanks for everything."

"You sure?"

"Yeah. Thanks."

"Ok, just keep me updated." Hanna said as she walked out. Aria gave her a nod and smiled. As soon as the door shut she kept her phone close to her. The hours passed and still no sign of Ezra. She was getting frustrated and angry. She was about to call him but soon heard soft cries coming from the play pen.

"Hey baby." Aria cooed as she picked Tyler up. "Did you enjoy your nap?" Tyler just nuzzled her neck. "I love you so much baby boy." Aria said, tearing up. "So so much." She kissed his curls. "Don't ever forget that. Now come on, lets go wake Sadie up, its time for dinner." Aria said as she headed up the stairs.

"Sadie sweetie, time for dinner." Aria whispered kissing her forehead softly. Sadie stirred a bit before finally waking up. "Come on, the pizza its on its way." Sadie slowly got up and followed.

"Where's Daddy?" Sadie asked once seated.

"He's working."

"Oh. When is Sophie coming back?"

"Soon baby, soon. I promise you." Aria assured. She couldn't fight the tears building up.

"Mommy, why are you crying."

"I just miss her. That's all." Aria said wiping away her tears. "Sweetie, you know I love you right?" She asked her daughter, taking her into her arms.

"Yeah Mommy. I love you too."

"I love you so much." Aria whispered. She kissed her daughter's forehead before putting her back down. "Don't ever forget that."

"Ok." Sadie said, a bit confused by her mother's behavior. "Can we eat now?"

"Sure." Aria set the table and gave Sadie and Tyler their dinner.

"Aren't you going to eat?"

"I already ate when you were sleeping." Aria lied. Truth was she couldn't eat. How could she? How could she eat or sleep or do anything when she didn't even know how her daughter was doing. Sure she knew who had her, but that didn't make a difference. She was still scared out of her mind not knowing how her daughter was. She soon put the kids to bed and made her way to her own room. As she was settling in her laptop beeped indicating she had an email. Shortly after, her phone rang.

"What?" Aria snapped.

"Cranky now?" The voice laughed. "Did you get it?"

"Yes."

"Well you know what to do." The voice said before hanging up.

As soon as she hung up she heard the bedroom door open and saw Ezra heading in.

"Where have you been?" Aria asked.

"Out." He simply said before walking into the bathroom. Judging by his behavior, he had been out drinking. About five minutes later he came back out.

"Ezra, where were you? Do you not care about where Sophie is? Do you not care about her? You haven't even asked if they've called" Aria cried.

"You think I don't care? I've been out all day trying to figure out where the hell she could possibly be." He fought back. Aria couldn't help but let the tears fall.

"I'm sorry." Aria said as she got under the covers.

"So have they called?' Ezra asked.

"No. Not yet." Aria lied.

"That's it. We're going to the police tomorrow." Ezra stated.

"No!" Aria screamed as she shot up. "Not the police." Aria cried. "They'll hurt her if we call them."

"Well we can't just sit here and do nothing! You may not be as worried as I am, and I don't know about you, but it kills me to just be sitting here and not able to do anything." Ezra screamed. "We need her back and the police can help us."

"I do care and it kills me too. But we can't go to them. Please, lets just wait until tomorrow night. If they don't call by then, we can let the police know. Please."

"Fine. But that's it."

"Thank you." Aria whispered. Ezra soon got into bed next to her and shortly after fell asleep. Aria couldn't help but cry. Why did their lives turn into such a mess? Why did her relationship with Ezra start to go downhill? She loved him like crazy but he didn't trust her and that hurt. But most importantly, why did Sophie have to go missing? She pulled the duvet closer to her body as she tried to get some sleep since she would be needing it, but she couldn't. A few hours passed and she was still awake. Making sure Ezra was fully asleep, she leaned over and placed a kiss on his lips. It'd been over a week with no physical contact between the two and she missed him. She kissed his forehead and ran her hands through his hair before settling back in and eventually fell into a deep slumber.

BEEP BEEP BEEP.

Ezra lazily rolled over and pressed the snooze button. He rubbed his eyes and slowly got up. He went into the bathroom, not noticing that Aria wasn't beside him. It was until he came back out that he noticed. Aria wasn't lying on the bed. Instead there was an envelope nicely placed on her pillow. Ezra.It read in her perfect handwriting. He slowly walked over and with trembling hands picked it up. His heart beat faster as he opened it and quickly unfolded it. He didn't realize his hands were sweating until he saw the wet marks on the piece of paper. He wiped them on his pants before beginning to read.
