Chapter 14

I don't own PLL

I am so sorry that this wasn't up Sunday like promised but as everyone on Twitter knows, I had to change my Username in order to keep a certain person finding my account from a slip I had made. I am so beyond sorry that there aren't enough words for me to apologize.

Aria's POV

The week seemed to go by pretty fast. I spent it with Isabella while Ezra was at work and cuddling with Teddy. Call me childish all you want but a giant teddy bear is a 9 month pregnant woman's best friend when her husband was out. Isabella helped me make sure everything was in order for the twins to come, helped keep the house clean, and took care of me while Ezra was at work because I wasn't allowed to get out of bed for anything; doctor's orders. No matter how much I tried to tell Isabella she really didn't need to do all that she insisted anyway. She would bring me food in bed and let Annie out; anything that needed to be done she did it. Most of the time Isabella would help me waddle my way downstairs to the couch where we would talk all day about anything and everything.

Wrapping up the end of the year had been hard on Ezra. He had so many finals he needed to grade and entered before the deadline that by the time Saturday afternoon came he was exhausted. He had gotten all of the necessary grades entered and done before the deadline that afternoon. Since Ezra was finally done we decided to have a lazy day today; we lay curled up in bed with Annie all day with Ezra rubbing my stomach and talking to Charlotte and Sophia. It didn't take long until Ezra was passed out asleep in bed. I laid there watching him for a good 15 minutes before I carefully slid out of bed and waddled down to the babies' rooms.

Ever since I had started my maternity leave I have found myself sitting in either Sophia's or Charlotte's room. We worked extremely hard on them to make sure they would be perfect and that our baby girls would have everything they needed. For Charlotte's room we went with a light pink with black color scheme. Her crib was a beautiful black wood with pink owl bedding. The changing table, toy chest, as well as the rocking chair was also made up of black wood; the rocking chair was padded with the softest light pink cushions that I've ever felt. The walls were painted light pink which wasn't overbearing. We found these cute white lace curtains to hang over the windows that tied into the adorableness of the bedroom. In Sophia's room we went with a soft purple and deep brown color scheme. Her crib, changing table, toy chest, and rocking chair were made from beautiful dark brown wood; her rocking chair was the same as Charlotte's instead the cushions were a light purple. The walls were the same shade of soft pink as all rest of the items in her room. Sophia's room also had a butterfly theme. Ezra and I found the most adorable butterfly bedding that we knew would fit with the room perfectly. I had painted their names in a curly cursive sort of way on the wall in their individual rooms. All in all the rooms both came out stunning; they were pure perfection and better than Ezra and I even imagined. All we need now is our babies to put into these rooms. I take a seat in Charlotte's rocking chair, close my eyes and slowly rock back and forth caressing my stomach as I imagine doing this in a matter of days but with two babies in my arms as I feed them. Overall the entire thought of us having twins is unbelievably scary. I mean we've never been parents before or had to take care of a child for the most part and now we're about to have two little ones to take care of. It's a scary yet exciting thought all wrapped together. I must have fallen asleep for sometime because I noticed it was dark out when Ezra gently shook my arm to wake me.

"I figured you'd be in here when I couldn't find you." His voice was soft; Ezra takes a seat in front of me on the autumn.

A small yawn escapes my lips. "I can in here not too long after you fell asleep. What time is it?"

"Seven o'clock. I made dinner already and it is just about done." Ezra leans forward to kiss my lips softly. I place my hand on the back of his neck while pressing my lips against his.

"I can't believe it got that late; these two are making me tired all the time."

"I can't believe I slept all day myself but it's better for us to be rested than exhausted; these two are going to be here anytime now." Ezra smiles as bright as the sun.

"I know I'm beyond excited, then I think about giving birth to two babies for the first time and think it's okay if they want to stay in there for a little bit longer." I laugh softly.

"Just remember I will be right there with you holding your hand and encouraging you along as you swear every curse word known to man at me." Ezra playfully jokes causing me to hit him in the arm.

"That is not true!" I protest. Ezra lifts his eyebrow with a knowing look. "Okay fine it will be true."

"That's what I thought. Alright come on, let's go eat. I made Mexican, extra spicy too like you've been craving."

Ezra kisses my stomach one last time before standing up and offering me his hand. I give him a sly smile and place my hand delicately in his before standing up and letting him help me waddle down to the kitchen where we enjoyed a very delicious meal.

We were currently on the couch cuddles together eating bunny tracks ice cream while watching 'It Happened One Night' and many other movies. Throughout our time on the couch Charlotte and Sophia would kick around from time to time to remind Ezra and me of their presence in my tummy. Just as we were about to call it quits for the night, the original 'Romeo and Juliet' came on. With one knowing look we settled back down on the couch and snuggled together with a cozy blanket. Ezra was sitting up at the end of the couch with his feet stretched out to rest on the coffee table while I was lying on my right side with my head rested on his heart and my arms wrapped around his waist. Throughout the entire movie Ezra would whisper Romeo's lines into my ear, caress my side, and even kiss my forehead continuously. Ezra always makes me feel uncannily loved and cherished just by the simplest of action. The movie had just gotten to the heartbreaking scene where Juliet was about to kill herself due to believing Romeo was actually dead.

I tilted my head up to whisper into Ezra's ear, "If we were ever in that situation I'd do the same thing as Juliet; I could never live without you."

Ezra dips his head down to nuzzle my face with his nose. "I'm very pleased that we haven't been in that sort of situation. But I couldn't live without you either, Baby."

I move my left hand from his chest to place gently on the side of his face while I tilt my head up just enough to capture his lips with mine. The kiss was slow and soft but slowly escalading up to something more. All the romance had built up from the past several hours and was coming out in the kiss. Ezra shifted us slightly to get a better angle making the kiss all the more magical.

"Let's take this upstairs." I mumble against his lips between kisses.

"You head on up, I'll let Annie in for the night so I won't have to come back down then I will be up there to ravish you and make love to you all night." Ezra hurries to go retrieve Annie; I couldn't help but giggle at his eagerness.

I get up from the couch and up the stairs as quickly as a 9 month pregnant woman carrying twins can. However when I got to the top of the stairs I felt a sharp stab just above my waistline. That's when I realize my pajama bottoms were wet. Oh God. It took a minute to register what was actually happening; I am in labor.

"Ezra!" I scream loudly down the stairs. He must have been outside trying to get Annie because I didn't hear any noises downstairs so I yell for him again. A breathless Ezra came running up the stairs to me just a moment later.

"What's wrong? What's happening?" He asked scared as he saw the nervousness on my face.

"My water just broke; the babies are coming." I whisper in shock.

Ezra was unable to form words—all he could manage was stuttering before he gathered himself and helped me down to the car. He grabbed his phone and wallet on the way out, helped me into the car then speed off to the hospital quickly. Then entire drive consisted of me holding on to my stomach as the painful contractions came. Ezra was freaking out as we were driving but I told him to just focus on getting us there before trying to tend to me.

After what had to of felt like the longest drive of my life we finally arrived at the hospital where I was taken straight to the delivery section. On the drive here Ezra had called his parent's to tell them what was happening. The contractions were becoming closer together in timing; they were also becoming even more painful. The doctors said Ezra needed to wait out in the waiting room while they got me settled which didn't make me feel any better. I am in labor, my body is in the most pain I have ever been in and I currently can't see my own husband. I couldn't refrain from the slew of curse words that escaped my lips as another contraction hit me. Finally after getting changed into a gown and into a bed Ezra was finally allowed into the room. The second he walked in that door he ran to my side, laced his hand in mine and leaned down to leave a long kiss on my lips.

"Everything will be just fine. When it's time don't think about the pain or anything else; just focus on the fact that we'll be holding our daughters in no time." He squeezes my hand reassuringly.

"Just don't let go or pass out while I'm pushing."

"Don't you worry; I will be right here for you to break my hand. But I do have to ask, can you break my left one rather than my right? I need my right more than my left hand." Ezra jokes to make me laugh.

"Oh shut up." I giggle before another contraction hit me hard.

"Are David and Isabella almost here?" I ask about 10 minutes later.

"They got here just as the nurse said I could come back. I also called Hanna, Emily and Spencer, they are all packing a bag and getting on the first flight here they could each find. The whole family will probably be here soon too. Within a matter of hours we'll have an entire waiting room just for you." Ezra chuckles quietly at the thought.

"Thank you for calling the girls. You know this could unfortunately turn out to be waiting for many hours. I don't want our family to wait around in uncomfortable chairs all night."

Ezra shakes his head with a grin on his face from his place sitting on the side of my bed. "Trust me no matter how many hours you are in labor for not a one of those people will leave. Everyone is dying to see Sophia and Charlotte, plus they want to be here to support us." Ezra reassures.

"Can you please go ask Isabella if I could talk to her for a few minutes?"

"Yes of course, is everything alright?" He asks with worry.

"Everything is fine I just need to talk to her before," I gesture do my belly and the bed, "this happens."

"Ah it's a woman thing. Got it. I'll go get her and wait out in the hall until you're ready for me." Ezra's cheeks were a bit flushes in embarrassment and I couldn't help but giggle as he left.

Ezra's POV

It's time. It is finally happing. After all these years of wanting a family we are officially going to get it tonight in that hospital room. I am dying to hold our little girls in my arms for the first time; to see how beautiful they are. Everything. I make my way down the hall to the waiting room to find mom. When I turn the corner I couldn't help but smile at the sight of our entire family taking up majority of the small waiting room with balloons, teddy bears and flowers.

"Is it time?" About a million voices ask at once when they see me.

I shake my head, "Sadly no. Aria wanted me to come get mom."

"Is she okay?" Mom jumps up and hurries over to me.

"She's fine, well other than the pain from the contractions. It's a female thing so she asked for you." I say quietly.

Mom's facial expression turns from curious to understanding once I finished my sentence. "Okay I understand. I'll go check in with her then I'll come back to get you when we're done."

"Thank you." I smile appreciatively then go take mom's empty chair.

Many many hours later Aria was finally dilated enough to start pushing. I have never heard Aria swear so much in her life and I honestly couldn't believe some of the things she said. I also have never seen her in so much pain. It was unbearable for me to stand there holding her hand trying to keep her calm while she was in such excruciating pain. There was nothing I wanted more than to take away all her pain. I had tears in my eyes when the doctor gave me the scissors to cut the umbilical cord for both Charlotte and Sophia.

They were fraternal twins like we thought; born just two minutes apart, Charlotte was first then Sophia right after. The official time and day was May 16th 2017 2:06 am and 2:08 am. Aria and I both had tears in our eyes when the doctor held handed each of our baby girls in our arms. Once they rinses them off and Aria was resituated I went out to get the family. Everyone cooed at how adorable they both were. Hell Aria and I couldn't get over how tiny and beautiful they were.

Charlotte had Aria's tiny nose that she crinkled a lot, my facial structure where as Sophia has Aria's. They both had Aria's dark hair; the usual baby blue eyes. Sophia was 18 inches 6 cm long and weighed 8 pounds 4 ounces. Charlotte was 19 inches 3 cm long and weighed 8 pounds 9 ounces. Aria was currently holding Charlotte in her arms while I sat beside her on the bed holding Sophia. Neither of us wanted to let go of them for anything.

I placed a chaste kiss on Aria's forehead and sigh in contentment. "Charlotte Rose Fitz and Sophia Ann Fitz... We made the most beautiful babies ever born Sweetheart."

I have the most beautiful family in the world with the most incredible woman on the planet. We can truly conquer anything thrown at us.
