Aria turned around slowly , ignoring the tears on her cheek, "Yes."
"Aria," Toby sighed, and he walked towards her, but she turned away.
"I can't have this happening Toby. I've already lost Aria. I can't loose this child too simply because you're reckless."
Toby sighed and put a hand on Aria's shoulder, "You haven't lost Aria."
"No, but because of this," She turned gesturing to him," And my current living situation, my chance of getting her back is in jeopardy," Aria wiped a tear from her face, and turned away once again.
"Aria," Toby sighed.
"You know, I'm sick. I'm really sick," Aria laughed without humor, "the doctor said that my body may not be able to support another child. With how small I am…" Aria trailed off taking a deep, strained breath, "My body may not be able to withstand the pressure. I'm only four and a half months along, and I can barely stand at times. This is worse than when I was pregnant with Aria. Much worse."
Toby clamped his mouth shut, "But you'll make it through this," He said with conviction, "You made it through that, and you'll make it through this too."
Aria shook her head, "We'll see if we get that far, but for now," she turned back to her boyfriend, "I need you to stay sober. Please," Aria's eyes burned into his with a fire cold as ice. Toby nodded. Aria nodded in return, "Are you sober enough to drive right now?"
Toby nodded again, "Yes, I believe so."
Aria nodded turning her head away, "Would you drive me to my appointment with my lawyer."
Toby nodded and got the keys.
The two of them drove down town to the local law office, and Aria went in leaving Toby in the car.
She was sent into a small conference room where she met up with her lawyer, "Mrs. Hastings," Aria greeted her. Aria quite suddenly realized she'd been spending more time with Spencer's mother in the last two years that she had with Spencer. It was odd.
"How are you doing this morning?" She asked shuffling through some paperwork. Aria was so glad that Mrs. Hastings had taken up her case from the get-go. Of course Mrs. Hastings would take any opportunity to screw over that cop, but she honestly wanted to help Aria.
"Fine," She lied,
"Good. Hopefully I can make it better though. I have a surprise for you," Mrs. Hastings smiled.
"A surprise? What?" Aria was both excited and afraid.
"Well," she said slipping some papers to Aria, "Sign these and I can show you," Aria began to flip through the pages, "Oh, don't read through it. I promise I have already looked over it, anfd If you did read it, it would ruin the surprise," Aria was confused, but she signed the papers.
"Okay. Aria, Are you ready?"
"Not exactly sure," Aria said, stiff as a board.
Mrs. Hastings laughed, "Ms. Montgomery, Aria's foster parents have requested that you be given visitation rights."
Aria's eyes popped, "What?"
"You get to see your daughter today, Aria. Mr. Kohn personally requested that you be given visitation rights for your daughter. It was cleared with the courts last Monday."
Aria smiled, "Oh my god! Wait Noel Kohn?"
"Yes."
Aria smiled a bit more, "At least I know she's in good hands."
"If you're ready I can bring them in now," Mrs. Hastings said cleaning up her work.
"They're here?"
"Yes."
"I'd love to see them," aria couldn't contain herself. She started crying.
Mrs. Hastings smiled and went to get Noel and Aria. Then Aria's phone rang.
A family reunion! How sweet. But I have a feeling out love triangle is about to turn into a square.
