Chapter 14~ Girl

"Well , it seems you're having a girl."

I take a few short and quick breaths and reply. "Wh-what?"

"You're having a baby girl, congratulations."

"I can't breathe." I mumble as I open my car door and get out.

" , just breathe."

"I'm trying!" I yell. "Sorry, I'm just kind of freaking out."

"Just breathe."

I take a deep breath. "Okay." I start pacing. "Are you serious?" I ask.

"Yes I am Aria. Is this bad news?"

"No. This is great news. Thank you." I say and hang up. I go back to my car and park it.

While getting out of my car I thought How will I tell Ezra? I push the thought aside and decide to go sit in on one of his lectures. Feeling a tear coming down my cheek I quickly go into the room and sit in the back.

He doesn't see me but I see him. I'm not paying attention to what he's talking about, something about pedagogy. I'm just staring, amazed by his intellegance.

"Hey." I turn to see Ian next to me.

"Hey."

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine." I reply.

"No you're not, you've been crying. Why are you here anyway?"

"Um I'm thinking about taking some classes."

"Okay." Ian said.

"Exuse me am I inturrupting your social time?" Ezra said

"Oh sorry ." Ian said.

Ezra looked over to see who Ian was talking to and looked at me with a confused look. "Um... That's all for today guys." Ezra said.

"Okay well I better go, I'll see you later Aria." Ian said.

He left and I walked down to talk to Ezra. He was standing talking to some of his students. They were flirting with him. I stood back and waited for them to finish and Ezra looked over and saw me.

"I'll see you tomorrow girls." He said and walked over to me and kissed me. "What are you doing here babe?" I saw the girls staring at us in the corner of my eye.

"Can we um talk in your office?"

"Sure." He said concerned.

We went into his office and sat on the couch.

"Aria is everything okay? You're starting to scare me."

"Uh, yeah everything's fine. The doctor just called."

"Uh oh." He mumbled.

"No it's not like that."

"Okay then what is it?"

"Remember when I told you we were having a boy?"

"Uh, yeah."

"Wel the doctor called and said there was a mixup." I paused.

"Aria what are you trying to say?"

I looked into his eyes and said. "Well were having a girl."

"What?" He said, his face turning into a smile.

"We're gonna have a girl." I smiled holding my stomach.

"We're having a girl?" He repeated. I nodded and he picked me up exctatic and spun me around. He put me down and kissed me. "Oh my god!" He shouted smiling. He kissed me and we laid on the couch together making out. A few minutes later he broke our passionate kissing and checked his watch. "I have to go. I have a class to teach." He got up and bent down. "I love you Aria, and you too baby girl." He said kissing my stomach.

"I love you too Ezra." I kissed him and he left.

An hour later Jess came into his office. "Hey... Aria, what are you doing here?"

"I just came to see Ezra." I replied to her.

"Oh, listen Aria I'm sorry about -"

I cut her off. "Jess it's okay, I should be apologizing for how I reacted."

She smiled. "Anyway, what did you need to talk to Ezra about anyway?"

"Well I guess I can tell you." I mumbled. "We have some news about the baby."

"What kind of news?"

"Like gender news."

"Oh my go-. Don't tell me, wait do tell me. No. Yes, okay fine tell me before I change my mind!"

"It's a girl." I blurt out smiling.

"Yay yay yay yay yay! I am so gonna spoil her." She said jumping up and down in excitement. She stopped and mumbled. "Sorry." She was still smiling. "Anyway, I bet your happy with school being out soon." She said staring at my stomach.

"Uh yeah, Jess are you okay?"

"Yeah, um I have to go shopping for baby stuff so I'll see you later."

"Okay b-"

"Bye!" She shouted already out of the door.

I sigh and go over to Ezra's laptop on his desk and look up some good baby names.

A couple minutes later Ezra comes in. "Hey babe. Whatcha doin?" He asks as he walked over and kissed me.

"Just looking up some baby names." I smile. I quickly clutch my stomach. "Oh."

"What? Aria? Is everything okay?"

"Yeah everything's fine. I think she just kicked." I smiled and put his hand on my stomach. He chuckled and I noticed a tear coming down his cheek. "Oh Ezra." I wiped the tear and kissed him.
