Chapter Twenty Four

It was the middle of September and Aria was back at school teaching Art at Rosewood Day Elementary school. It has been two months since Aria and Jason decided to try for another baby. Scarlett was now fourteen months and as happy as ever. Driving home from Rosewood Day with baby Scarlett in tow; Aria could not wait to get home. She was a week late and could not wait to get home to take a pregnancy test. She had a feeling that she was pregnant. She knew that she was and could not wait to find out if she was right.

Setting Scarlett down into her play pen, Aria made her way to the half bath and peed on the stick. The three minutes that she had to wait were agonizing for her. One minute passed, then two minutes passed and finally three minutes passed. Looking down at the pregnancy test she could not help but smile upon seeing the words pregnant. She could not wait till Jason got home to share the news with him.

Walking out of the bathroom, she saw Scarlett looking around for her. Picking up her daughter Aria started tickling and kissing her. "Daddy will be home soon Scarlett, what do you say we make him his favorite meal." Aria asked as she brought Scarlett into the kitchen with her. Setting Scarlett into her high chair, Aria started to prepare her famous homemade lasagna, garlic bread and some broccoli for dinner with Jason.

It was a long day for Jason. He just spent the last seven hours in court and could not wait to get home to Aria and Scarlett. He was also anxious to get home because he knew that they were trying for another baby and he wanted to try again tonight to relieve some stress. Walking into his house he could smell lasagna and garlic bread and he smiled. Aria knew exactly what to do whenever he had a long day at work. Making his way into the kitchen he saw his two favorite girls and smiled. He wrapped his arms around Aria's petite frame and pulled her close. Aria turned around and saw her husband and smiled. She knew that he was going to love the news she had to share with him. Leaning up she kissed him. They broke the kiss when they heard Scarlett saying Dada not wanting to be left out. Jason pulled away and smiled at Scarlett. Picking her up he kissed her and began to tickle her. "Hi baby girl, I am so glad to see you" Jason cooed as he started to play with Scarlett. Aria watched as Scarlett and Jason play together and couldn't help but think about how this time next year they would have two children.

As they ate their dinner Jason could not help but feel relaxed. Everything was starting to get better for him now that he was home. He had a wonderful meal for him prepared by his wife and he loved playing with Scarlett. Aria cleaned up the dishes while Jason took Scarlett for a bath and tucked her into her crib.

Making his way into his bedroom that he shared with Aria he saw her on the bed reading. Looking up from her book, Aria smiled. Laying down on their bed, Aria kissed Jason. "I love you" Aria said happily. Jason looked at her and smiled. "I love you too babe, I am so happy to be home" Jason replied. "Long day" Aria questioned. "To long" Jason groaned. "Well I have something that will make you feel better" Aria responded smiling. Looking up at his wife smiling Jason responded "and what would that be." "I'm pregnant" Aria squealed. Jason shot up in bed and looked at his wife. He couldn't believe he heard what she just said. "We're having another baby" Jason asked. Aria nodded. Pulling Aria into a tight hug he couldn't help but pepper her in kisses making her laugh. "Jase stop" Aria said laughing. "How far along are we, when are we due" Jason started to ask. "I think we are eight or nine weeks along. I am not sure but we will find out when we go into Dr. Evans office tomorrow" Aria said.

Jason could not believe that they were going to have another baby. He was over the moon with happiness. He could not wait to know what they were going to have. He didn't care if it was a boy or a girl, he just wanted a healthy baby. Pulling Aria close they celebrated their happy news by making love almost the whole night.

The next day they dropped Scarlett off at Spencer and Wren's house as the two made their way to Dr. Evans office. "Hi we have an appointment with Dr. Evans" Aria said to the receptionist. "I will let her know that you are here and she will be with you shortly" The receptionist replied to Aria. Jason and Aria sat in the waiting room both nervous to see how far along they were and when they would be due and whether or not everything was okay with the pregnancy.

"Hey, guys come on back" Dr. Evans said as she led Aria and Jason to her room. "So, you guys think you might be pregnant" she asked. "Yes, I am a week late and the test I took yesterday came back positive" Aria nodded. "Alright let me take another test and if you are we can do an ultrasound today to see how far along you are" Dr. Evans replied.

A few minutes later Dr. Evans made her way into the examination room. "Alright you guys I have your test results back and you are indeed pregnant" Dr. Evans said. "Lets do an examination here to see how far along you are. "It is a little early to tell but it looks like you are about seven weeks along and due in April sometime" Dr. Evans said as she showed them their baby. "Congratulations you two. I will see you again in a few weeks just to make sure everything looks okay" Dr. Evans said as their appointment ended.

Aria and Jason were over the moon with happiness. They saw their baby and could not wait to meet him or her in April. Making their way to pick up Scarlett they decided to stop for a little treat at the frozen yogurt shop in Rosewood.

Two weeks have passed since they found out they were going to have another baby. The only people that really knew were Wren and Spencer. They didn't want to tell everyone until they were out of the first trimester and Wren and Spencer understood that. Aria was now nine weeks along and could not wait till their next appointment. Jason was making sure that Aria was taking it easy and staying home a bit more to help out with Scarlett and around the house.

Aria, Jason, Wren and Spencer were having a play date with Jack, Wyatt and Scarlett. Everyone was enjoying themselves and the babies were having a great time. "I am so happy that I get to be an Aunt again" Spencer said smiling at Jason and Aria. The couples were laughing and enjoying watching their children play together. Aria bit her lip as she felt a cramp in her abdomen. She shook it off as nothing but she saw Jason look at her worryingly. "Are you okay" Jason asked. Aria just nodded. "I think so I just had a little cramp in my abdomen" Aria replied a little scared. Wren looked at the couple and jumped into doctor mode. "Was it a sharp pain" he asked. "No, it wasn't too bad I think I will be okay" Aria said still a little uneasy.

A couple of hours passed by and Aria was feeling a little bit better but something still felt off to her. The babies fell asleep together on the floor and were snuggling. They looked so adorable. Jack and Wyatt had Scarlett in the middle of them with a protective arm around her and Scarlett was snoring little baby snores. Aria felt another cramp come on and had to excuse herself from the group admiring the babies.

Making her way into the bathroom she sat down and could not believe what she saw. She saw blood and it wasn't a little blood. It was a lot of blood. She started to get dizzy and felt like she was going to faint. She also noticed that she still had cramps. She knew that cramps and bleeding were not a good sign in early pregnancy and that it meant miscarriage and she hoped that she wasn't having a miscarriage. Noticing that Aria's been gone awhile Jason made his way to their bathroom do "Aria baby are you okay" Jason asked gently as he knocked on the door. Aria was scared and she felt the tears starting to stream down her face. "Jase, Jase I need you. I am bleeding" Aria said as Jason opened the bathroom door he saw Aria in pain and tears streaming down her face. "I'm bleeding" Aria said again as Jason frantically began shouting for Wren.
