A/N: It's getting close to the twins' births. :)

Chapter 22

Ezra's POV

Winter break was short lived. School had started up again and I was busier than ever. Aria and I had a wedding to plan and twins to get ready for. Thankfully, we had the help of our friends and family. The anticipation of Aria going into labor had me on edge.

It was my day off and I was working on a story for my creative writing class.

"Ah!" I heard Aria exclaim. I quickly stopped typing and ran to the bedroom. She was holding on to the headboard of the bed and rubbing her stomach. She looked like she was extremely uncomfortable, which she probably was being 8 months.

"Are you okay?" I asked on the verge of freaking out.

"Yeah," she took a deep breath, "I think the twins are fighting."

I rubbed her stomach, "You two gotta give Mommy a break."

She giggled, "You're having too much fun with this."

I looked at her and smiled, "I really can't wait until they're here."

"Me either," she let out a sigh of relief as she sat on the bed, "I love feeling them kick and everything, but I'm ready for this pregnancy to be over."

I rubbed her back sympathetically, "Do you need anything?"

"No," she laid down, "I'm going to take a nap before Hanna comes over. We're going over wedding ideas."

"If you need me to take over, I can."

"It's fine. I think it's better if I deal with this. You're already doing so much."

I kissed her forehead, "Okay. But I'll make time if I need to."

She gave me a tired smile showing her gratitude. I watched as she fell asleep before closing the door.

Aria's POV

After a couple hours nap, I was up and going over various wedding details with Hanna.

"Have you guys decided where you're going to have the ceremony?"

"We were thinking either the church or the park."

"How many people are coming?"

"My parents, his parents, Mike, Wes, you, Emily, and Spencer. You guys can have your parents come if you want."

Hanna gasped, "OH! We should do it at the park! I know how we can decorate it!"

"Okay. But don't go overboard. We just want to keep it simple."

I couldn't help but smile at the thought of marrying Ezra. Despite our ages, this felt right. Having our family and getting married felt right.

Hanna gave me a knowing smile.

"Being a bride and pregnant really works for you."

I continued to smile until I felt some slight discomfort. I began rubbing my stomach and trying to deal with the slight pain I felt.

"Ar, are you okay?" she asked as she rushed to be beside me.

"Yeah," I took a deep breath, "I'm fine."

She looked at me, still worried.

"Han, I'm fine. If I feel anything else weird, I promise I'll let you know."

Her face relaxed a little once she saw that I was past whatever it was.

"We got to get you a dress!" She said, pipping up.

"How will we know it'll fit once I give birth to the twins?"

She slumped slightly as she thought.

"I got it! My grandma could tailor it for you!"

"Are you sure she won't mind? I don't want to inconvenience her."

"Yeah, she'll totally be okay with it."

"Thanks."

She got up from the floor, "We should go look."

"I would, but I need help up."

"Oh, right!"

She rushed over and extended her hand so I could grip it and stand up.

"Thanks."

Before long, we were at the mall.

"Maybe we should go to that maternity store you've been going to. They should have a nice dress."

Right as I opened my mouth to speak, she took my hand and led me to the escalator.

An hour later, I had tried on six different dresses. None of which were the ones that I could see myself wearing at my wedding day. We went to the racks, looking at each dress and deciding if they were worth trying on.

We went around to various places until we settled on a bridal shop that just happened to have nothing but maternity wedding dresses. We went inside and it was if I had entered my wonderland. There were plenty of great dresses. The styles were nice, but again, they weren't me. It wasn't until I saw this one dress. It was cream in color, had a slight v-neck with a flower and beading. I was instantly taken away by it's beauty. This was it. This was the dress. I picked it up from the rack.

"Han," she turned to face me, "I found the dress!"

She stared at the dress in total awe.

"It's beautiful," she said barely able to speak.

I started to tear up the longer I looked at the dress.

"Are you going to try it on?!" she asked excited.

I nodded as I went to the dressing rooms. I quickly, yet carefully, put the dress on and stared at myself i n the full-length mirror. I began to cry tears of joy. The dress looked even better than it did when I held it in my arms. My moment of reflection was cut short by Hanna texting me.

How does it look?!

I stepped out of the dressing room, "Han."

She looked at me, her eyes starting water.

"That's it! That's the dress!"

After getting the dress and a few accessories, she dropped me off at the apartment.

"Aria?" Ezra said from the bedroom.

"Yeah, it's me. I got my dress!"

He came out of the room smiling, "Really?"

"Yeah, it's beautiful," I went up and kissed him, "I can't wait until I get to walk down the aisle in it."

He kissed me back, "Me neither."

FEBRUARY 13

Surprisingly, I didn't go into labor as early as expected. My contractions were more frequent and felt different than the "kicks" I was feeling before. For most of the day, I've been really uncomfortable and not exactly feeling great. I got up from the bed to grab a drink of water. Just as I made it to the refrigerator, I felt a gush of liquid come from between my legs.

"EZRA!" I yelled.

He came over to me.

"What's going on?"

"My water broke."

He ran into the bedroom, looking for the hospital bag.

"EZRA! It's in the car!"

He ran out of the bedroom and took my hand.

"We'll call everyone on the way."

Quickly we exited the apartment and made our way to the hospital.

A/N: So, after much thought, there will be two more chapters and that'll be it for this story. I will do a sequel. Oh! The link for Aria's wedding dress is going is on my profile. Take a look when you can. :) Please read and review! :D
