Aria stood looking in the mirror. Ezra came up behind her. "You look good." He said. He put his arms around her waist.
"Thanks. I'm kinda nervous about wearing this. You can tell I'm pregnant. Easily." She said turning sideways to see her stomach.
"Not really…" Ezra said. "You look amazing for four months. You look amazing period." he said.
"Thanks." Aria says, turning around to see Ezra's face. " But you don't look so good. Are you feeling okay?" she asked placing a hand on his for head. "I think you have a fever, hun."
"I don't know, maybe you're right. I didn't feel well last night. But I feel fine now. And if we don't go now we're both gonna be late to school." he said grabbing her jacket and putting it around her shoulders for her. "Don't worry about me, okay?" he says, stroaking her hair once then planting a kiss on her head. "You worry about studying for mid terms week."
"I can't help but worry about you, Ezra." she said.
Ezra smiled. "You're gonna be such a good wife, Aria."
"And a good mom?" She asks.
"Most certainly a good mom."
Aria's just locking up their apartment when her phone buzzes in her pocket. She takes it out as her and Ezra get in the elivator.
"Guess who's back?! -A"
"Like really, what could she throw at me next?" Aria said. She had buried her head in her arms resting on the bench outside of the school.
Hanna and Caleb were sitting next to her and Toby and Emily were sitting across from her.
"Well think about it guys." Toby said. "When ever A threatens to do something, does she?"
Aria picked her head up. "Besides telling my mom about Meredith, telling the whole school I'm pregnant and trying to get me to KILL myself, come to think of it, no." she says sarcastically.
"I didn't mean tell, I mean do. Has she tried to hurt any of you guys? Besides the knife present."
Hanna considered this.
"Yeah Aria." Caleb started. "What else does she have on you?"
"Nothing that I can remember..." Aria says.
Emily patted her arm. "Yeah Aria. The secret about you and Ezra, the fire, and the baby, your mom being pregnant, are kind of out in the open."
Hanna kicked Emily under the table. "Yeah… Now!" she glares at her.
Emily bit her lip. "Whoops..." she said.
Caleb looked uncomfortable "Yeah, I knew about your mom." he said Now Hanna kicks Caleb.
"What? Really? Oh, wow, this is just great. Who else knows?" She nearly yells.
"Calm down Aria. You don't wanna end up in the hospi-" Emily stopped when Aria starred over at her.
"You go to the hospital for the reason I was there and you wouldn't be joking about it." Aria said grabbing her bag and walking away.
"Awe, now I feel bad." Emily follows Aria with her eyes as she goes inside.
"It's okay, Em, don't feel bad." Toby said immediately.
"Yeah she's just…" Hanna started then stopped.
"Pregnant." Caleb offered.
"No, I feel bad for her." Emily said. The table's distracted by noises and sirens.
"What's going on?" Hanna asks. Some paramedics run past them into the school.
"You don't think…." Caleb started.
"With A, we don't have time to think" Toby answered. The four get up from the table and run inside.
Aria walked into the school, fuming. A paramedic flew past her, shoving teenagers through the hall. She turned around to see one of them rudely shove past Maya.
"Move!" he said losing his patience with the crowd gathering. Then, he bumped into her. "Mo - oh." He stopped, noticing her stomach. 'I knew I shouldn't have worn this shirt.' She thought.
"Sorry." he said 'tip toeing' around her.
'Lovely' Aria thought to herself. She continues to walk, bored by the drama surrounding the halls. Emily and Hanna ran up behind her.
"Where's Spencer?" Emily asked, looking like she was about to lose it. "I don't know. Why? Is she okay!?" Aria asked, nervous how too.
Hanna showed Aria a text she had just gotten from Spencer.
S.O.S Get Aria now.
"Aria!" Spencer came running up behind Aria. "You need to read this. Now!
It was a letter from A. "I found it taped to your locker."
Aria, frantic, took it and sat down on the bench holding her stomach, feeling nauseous.
"Hurting you will be no fun. I can't hurt a pregnant girl. I wouldn't do that to your baby. It will have a hard enough life with two messed up parents. So tell your pretty little friends, and family, to watch out. Because I'm back. -A"
Aria didn't have time to process this before Maya ran up to them. "Aria, is Mike you brother?" she asked.
"Yeah, why?" Aria said. The rest of the girls were already standing up ready to run to who knows where.
"Come on Aria" Hanna said pulling her by her arm.
Aria nearly falls to the ground in pain, her eyes watering.
"Han! Watch it!" Spencer said hold Aria up right. "She just got her stitches out this morning remember?"
"Oh, crud, Aria, I'm sorry." Hanna winces.
"It's fine, I'm fine, let go." Aria breaks from their grips and runs toward the circle of paramedics. One of the three paramedics moved out of the way when she saw Aria coming up.
"Is this your boyfriend? Brother?" she asks. Instead of answering her, Aria got down on her knee's next to Mike.
"Is he okay? What happened?"
The principal answers this one. "He was sitting out side on stair railings and fell backwards. He was fine for a good thirty minutes before he passed out right here in the hall."
"Now, you are his sister right?" The one lady asks yet again.
"Yes I'm his sister, is he okay?" she asked again.
"We're gonna load him up in the ambulance, run a CT scan, and he should be okay."
Aria leaned next to Mike's ear. "Mike, wake up." she said. As if rehearsed, Mike's eye opened.
"Aria..? What happened? What's going on?" The paramedics stood there, not sure weather to be shocked weirded out or in hysterics. "That was like something out of a movie!" One of them said. Aria looked away from Mike for the first time. "My life is a movie. That's why."
So everyone's probably back to school by now so good luck to everyone :) Of course the typical writers message: Updates may be slow cause of school but I'll try to keep up, blah blah... You've heard it all before. But you guys are awesome and patient and I love you so much! *Muah!*
