(Aria's POV)

I struggled to open my eyes as the sun cascaded through my room. I'd been home for ten days. The ten days I was suspended. For doing what you ask? Oh that's right, absolutely nothing at all. My dad was actually starting to be a little more accepting. Maybe it's due to the fact that I spent my entire summer living with my boyfriend and barely saw him. It's baby steps, I know, but at least things are returning to civil between us.

For the past ten days I've literally done a whole lot of nothing. Sat on this couch, sat in that chair, sat on my bed, sat at the table, ate this sandwich, ate those chips, ate those cookies and then there was that one trip to the doctors yesterday.

My five month checkup was a week away but earlier this week I had gone in just for a routine scan. I was at the 18-week mark, the perfect time to tell what sex your baby is going to be. But as badly as I was yearning to find out what we were having, it just didn't seem right without Ezra there. He knew about the appointment too. He had been there last time when we scheduled it. We were both eager to find out the sex. Suddenly I didn't seem so eager anymore.

My doctor squirted the cold gel onto my bulging stomach, and flipped on the screen adjacent to where I was laying down, arms resting behind my head. She mumbled a few incoherent words and then asked me, "Ready to find out?" Nervously, out of habit, I bit my lower lip as a surge of disappointment swelled through me. I didn't reply. Instead I starred out the window at the cloudy sky. "Aria?" My doctor quietly said.

"He's not here." I whispered, trying my best to sound unemotional. Unbothered. But the truth was, it was eating me up inside. I was as hurt as I'd ever been, but I had to put on a brave face, for myself but most of all for my baby.

"Sweetheart." Her voice was soft and comforting.

"I don't know if I should..." I told her weakly, rolling my eyes slightly and starring back out the window, trying to distract myself.

She flipped off the switch on the side of the screen. "Aria, I want to tell you something. But you have to promise me not to take it the wrong way, okay?" I nodded my head, never turning to look at her.

"I've seen a lot of young girls come through here, pregnant and totting their boyfriends along, and as much as I hate to say it by this time in the pregnancy only a handful still have that boyfriend by their sides, and by the delivery, well I've only seen a few there..." She paused, "Look, honey I'm not trying to scare you, or downplay the extent of your relationship, but don't let his foolishness, and child like attitude stand in the way of this exciting time. I know how badly you want to know, you've wanted to know since the day you found out you were pregnant."

My insides swelled up, as I processed her words. She didn't have to say them, but she did. And at the moment it made me think. Sure, I had told Ezra not to call me, but he never actually listened, and this time he did. That had to be saying something.

"Okay." I told her, "I want to know."

"Great." She flicked the screen back on and scrolled around the screens a few times before asking me, "What would you prefer Aria?"

Slipping on a pair of PINK sweatpants and a matching sweatshirt I grabbed my backpack and waltzed downstairs, the smell of pancakes filling my nose.

"Mmmm." I strolled into the kitchen, checking the time on the clock. I had ten minutes until I had to leave.

Mike was sitting at the bar stool, a plate full of chocolate chip pancakes smothered in syrup in front of him. "You should really get suspended more often..." He mumbled with a mouth full of food, while he still continued to shove bite after bite in his already full mouth.

My mom placed a plate down in front of me, "Eat up, you have to leave soon." I was about to protest, my mom never made breakfast, but instead I grabbed the syrup next to Mike and lathered up my pancakes on my plate. If I was going back to school, I'd do it on a very full stomach.

"Sweetie!" Hannah ran up to me, running her hand dramatically through her blonde waves. She wrapped me in a tight hug, then quickly let go. In a hushed but excited tone she asked me, "Have you told Ezra yet?" I slammed my locker shut rather loudly, causing people to stare, as if they weren't already.

"No Han." I hissed. She nodded in acceptance, "Oh, okay." She took my hand before we went to enter his class, "I'm really sorry hun." I smiled slightly, thankful to have such great friends. Suddenly Spencer and Em were both at my side.

"I can't believe you're having a..." I put my hand over Emily's mouth quickly silencing her.

"She hasn't told him yet." Hannah told them for me.

Spencer placed her hands on her hips, "Aria, who gives a shit if you told him."

"Woah, feisty Spencer." Emily made a claw like motion with her right hand, making us all giggle to each other. "Nah, she's right Ar, he's the one who never made the effort, so why give him the satisfaction of finding out in a cute way, or before everyone knows?"

Shrugging my shoulders, I shifted my books from my left side to my right side, adjusting the shoulder strap on my olive green backpack, "I think he deserves it."

Emily gave me a silent pat on the back, "You're too nice Aria."

"Well your baby daddy is never going to find out if we are late, so we better go get seated." Spencer's studious side came out in her as she pushed all of us forward into the classroom were my 'baby daddy' sat perched on his desk, papers in hand. Everyone stopped doing what they were doing the moment we stepped in the room, "He's been a little different lately, just an FYI." Emily whispered in my ear as we walked to out seats.

"Great." I exhaled as I sat down in my desk.

Ezra continued to hold the stack of papers in his hands as the bell rang. He cleared his throat rather abruptly, "We're going back to the library today." A circle of moans was heard around me, "I have your papers here, so as I call your name, just grab it and we'll all meet up there in a bout five minutes."

All the names were called and one paper remained in his hand, and I was the only one sitting in the empty classroom. "Aria." His voice croaked. I got up, and forcefully grabbed the loose leaf sheet of paper out of his hand, and continued walking straight for the door. His hand grasped my elbow hard and he spun me around the face him.

"Talk to me." He pleaded, his eyes wide and worried. I shook him off, "Stop."

"Stop what Aria? I did what you told me to do." He was confused. "You never do what I tell you to do." I looked down at the ground, telling him softly.

He tilted his head slightly to look at me, "I thought it's what you wanted."

I pulled a paper out of my side pocket, it was folded and had Ezra's name scribbled in blue ink across the front. I held it out to him, "Take it." I told him, releasing it into his hands.

He looked at me strangely, "What is this Aria." His voice was trembling, almost as if he was nervous. He unfolded the paper and starred back at me, a small smile creeping onto his face. The first time I'd seen any kind of emotion from him since I'd been suspended.

"We're having a..." His voice lit up as we both said it

"...A girl."

Aw how adorable. Girl's have absolutely adorable names, so that's mainly the reason they are having a girl. And plus boyfriends are so much more adorable with little girls! haha. Anyway hoped you all enjoyed the chapter. Please remember to REVIEW!
