Thanks for all of the reviews. Sorry my grammar was terrible but I was in a hurry to get it up for you guys. I am updating since I have a day off so I hope that you guys enjoy it.

Two months had passed since Ezra had gotten shot. Things were going great for him and Aria. They were on a great understanding of each other and learned that both of them needed help. Ezra learned to let go of the fact that he couldn't always protect Aria and Aria learned to let Ezra help her in any way possible. It was now spring and classes were almost over for Byron. Aria was working on her final paper for her English class when she started to feel odd.

"Aria are you okay?" Ezra asked walking in and sitting down on the bed beside of Aria. Aria had been put on complete bed rest two weeks ago to help prevent her from going into early labor and to help keep her stress levels down.

"I'm okay; I just think that I ate way too much earlier." Aria lied.

"Are you sure?" Ezra asked eying her.

"I am positive. Could you get me some water though writing this paper makes me thirsty." Aria chuckled.

"Anything for you my love." Ezra said and pecked her on the cheek before he got up to get her water.

After Ezra had left Aria felt a sharp pain go through her back, it was enough to take her breath away. Ezra soon came back in with her water causing her to put on a fake front and work on her paper.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Ezra asked eyeing Aria.

"I'm fine now go and watch TV or something and let me finish." Aria said shewing Ezra out of the room.

After a few hours Ezra heard a blood curdling scream coming from the bedroom. Ezra almost face planted the floor he got up so fast.

"Aria what is wrong?" Ezra asked running over to her side.

"The baby is coming." Aria shouted. "Call my parents and the doctor and the hospital and your sister."

"Aria calm down, now tell me what do you need me to get?" Ezra asked trying to calm down Aria.

"My bag it's already packed in the closet." Aria said taking deep breaths.

"Okay let me go and call the doctor and the hospital and I'll call your parents and my sister on the way." Ezra said calmly even though in his head he was freaking out.

Ezra helped Aria out of the apartment and carried her down the stairs. When they had reached the car another bad contraction had hit Aria and she instantly grabbed Ezra's hand to help her through it. They made it to the hospital in record time and no speeding tickets. As soon as they got in the nurses ushered them up to labor and delivery, where Aria was assigned a room.

&PLL&PLL&PLL&PLL&PLL&PLL&PLL&

Rose and Kyle arrived in about 20 minutes and Byron, Ella, and Mike arrived in about a half hour. Ella and Mike had been staying in a nearby hotel since Aria's due date was so close.

"Oh my baby how are you?" Ella asked as she ran over to Aria's side.

"Okay, I guess not in too much pain right now but I will be soon enough." Aria laughed.

"Well Miss Montgomery it looks like it will still be a few hours until you are ready to deliver, but on the bright side of things everything seems to be doing fine." A nurse said to Aria.

"Everybody can I please talk to Rose and Kyle alone for a few minutes?" Aria asked everybody in the room.

"Of course honey." Ella said. As soon as everyone had left the room Aria began to talk.

"I just want to tell you guys that I am so grateful for what you are doing. This is becoming so real to me and I see how unprepared I am to have a child and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything that you are doing for me." Aria said tearing up.

"Aria we just want you to know that we will love her as our own and that we want you and your family to be a part of her life." Rose said taking Aria's hand. "As much as I would love to sit here and talk to you my brother has texted me 5 times already to make sure you are okay."

"Could you tell everybody that they can come in, please?"

"Aria are you okay?" Ezra rushed to her side as soon as Rose told them they could come in.

"Oh my gosh yes Ezra I am fine I just wanted to thank your sister and brother-in-law." Aria said grabbing his hand as another contraction came.

"Aria it appears that you are farther along in your labor then we though it is time to push." The doctor said once he had checked out Aria. Byron, Mike, and Kyle all left the room leaving Ella, Ezra, and Rose to be there for Aria.

"This is it baby." Ezra said going up and brushing back tears that were falling from Aria's eyes. Aria grabbed onto Ella's hand her left side and Ezra's hand on the right side while Rose stood behind Ezra for moral support for his sanity.

"Okay Aria on the count of 3 push. 1, 2, 3 okay push." The doctor told Aria. Aria pushed off and on for about 5 minutes before a small cry was heard.

"It's a girl, okay now who is going to cut the umbilical cord?" The doctor asked.

"Ezra would you mind?" Aria asked. Ezra nodded with tears in his eyes and cut the umbilical of the most precious baby he had ever seen. The doctor then handed the baby to Aria who started to cry uncontrollably.

"What are you going to name her?" Ella asked.

"Lydia Faith, I have always loved the name Lydia and I have had nothing but faith to run on this entire time." Aria said looking at her mom.

After a few minutes Byron, Mike, and Kyle entered the room. Lydia was passed around and loved by all. After a few hours of mother and daughter time Aria finally signed over the papers to Rose and Kyle for the adoption. When the time came for Aria to put down the name of the father, she put down Ezra Fitz. As far as she was concerned Ezra had been more of a father in the last few hours then Brad was ever going to be.

The next morning Aria woke up to a crying baby and realized it was time to feed her. Aria decided that she wanted one night with her little girl and she had asked Ezra to stay with her, so that they could have one night as a little family. A few minutes later a phone rang. Ezra excused herself and came back a few minutes later with a pale look on his face.

"Who was that?" Aria asked.

"It was one of the officers that was on Brad's case. His trial is over and he only got 10 years for shooting me. They said there was no way to prove that he raped you. I don't know all of the details. I'm so sorry Aria."

"You know right now I don't even care. I am just happy that everything kind of actually worked out. Besides in 10 years we will hopefully be nowhere near Brad. I love you Ezra so much." Aria said leaning over to kiss Ezra who was seated beside her on her bed.

"I love you too." Ezra said putting his arm around Aria and pulling her close.

Okay guys this is the last chapter for this story. I don't want to drag it out too much so that people get tired of it. I think that it has been a success beyond what I could have imagined and I want to leave on a high note. But do not fret my friends because there will in fact be a sequel. I do not know when but it will begin in the next few weeks. Please leave idea's for it and you never know it might be used. Thank you for all who have read, reviewed, and added it to favorite story/author and author/story alerts it means a lot. Until my next story *hopefully soon* (if you bug me enough I may make time for it).
