Pretty Little Liars really needs some more Ezria fluff. In every episode the couple has drama or an argument or something. Mostly it's useless drama that they could really go without.

Ezriaforlife: I'll stop watching if Ezra and Aria ever permanently break up.

Aria and Ezra Lover and HarrylovesGinny09: I like happy endings too.

Bite-me-im-irish: She really is. I don't like how the writers have changed her over the last season. I liked her character more in the beginning of the first season and in episodes 12, 13, 15, and 17. Now she's just getting kind of annoying.

PrettyLittleBethany: Ella hears a rumor then corners Aria about it. I dunno what happens afterwards, but I really hope her parents know by the finale. Yes! Can't wait for them to come out! (That means that they'll still be together) ;)

Television Lover: You'll see what happens…

Lalala17: I saw a video online of an interview with Lucy Hale and Lucy said she was shooting a scene with her mom about Ezra.

RosalineMarie: They aren't married haha but I promise more… couple time for lack of better phrase, will come soon.

Brynelise2: Me too. Me too.

Teamezria2: Thanks, I'm so glad you like it! I saw those too… I think that happens after she has that talk with her mom, because she looks freaked out.

: I hate shim too.

Msbookworm93: I saw it after I posted the chapter, so I didn't know about it when I wrote that author's note. That clip was… freaking amazing. Haha.

Alexa and Randomness 101-Fanfic Freak: Thanks! hahah

Iceyhearted: Exactly! I think next week the girls find out something about Jason… he's like stalking Aria or something? From the pictures of Aria in his shed it seems like he is? I hope they force Aria to stay away from Jason, therefore making her go back to Ezra.

I apologize for any typo's and I hope you guys like this chapter!

"Happy birthday Lucy." Emily cooed, as she looked down at the newborn who was lying in the incubator.

Today was Lucy's three weeks old birthday. My parents had brought a cake to the hospital in celebration. The girls, Toby, Caleb, and Samara had come along also to celebrate.

"This is for Lucy from Spence and I." Toby handed me a present that was wrapped in shiny pink wrapping paper. (I love Toby. He's such a sweetheart. My second favorite guy in PLL… After Ezra Fitz of course)

"Thanks, Toby." I smiled, as Ezra took it from his hands and set it down in the corner of the room next to the presents from my Hanna, Caleb, Samara, and Emily.

"How are you doing, Aria?" Toby asked me.

I looked over at Lucy in the corner of the room before answering.

"Okay, I guess." I sighed. "I just… wish we could take her home. We've been in the hospital for so long… It's like… I just want to get out of here."

"Yeah." He nodded in understanding.

"How is Ezra doing?" He pondered.

"Why don't you go ask him? It seems like you two have formed some sort of bromance." I smiled as Toby walked away towards Ezra.

"Sweetie, we need to take you out. For a girls day." Hanna said. "You're an emotional mess. Physical too."

"I have a daughter." I said emotionlessly, reminding her that a teenage life full of shopping, crushing on cute boys, lounging by the pool in the summer, and spa days was no longer an option for me.

"So?" Spencer countered. "Just because you have a daughter, does not mean your life is over. We want to take you out. Our special treat."

"But what about Lucy? I can't just leave her."

To be honest, I was hoping to come up with an excuse. I felt so bad leaving Lucy alone that I could not bear to do it anymore than I actually had to. It pained both Ezra and I immensely to say good-bye to her at the end of every day.

"Your parents can look after her. We all know that there's an endless list of people who would be willing to watch her for a day." Emily said.

"You could get Jackie to watch her." Hanna smirked.

I looked at her with a look of pure disbelief on my face. She did not really mean that, did she?

They all looked at me expectantly, waiting for me to agree.

"Maybe." I finally answered. "I'm sure my parents or Ezra would not mind."

"Oh, actually…" Spencer started. "The boys want to take Ezra out too."

"What are they going to do?" I raised my eyebrows in surprise.

"I don't know." Hanna shrugged. "Caleb won't tell me. I have been bugging him for the past two days about it, but he won't budge!" She folded her arms across her chest in frustration.

We all laughed at Hanna's annoyance, before walking back over to the other crowd of people.

….PLL…

I looked down at Lucy, who had a content look on her face. Her little legs moved up and down ever so slightly as she started waking up from her nap. Her eyes opened wide and her facial expression slowly changed into a smile. I felt my eyes begin to water at Lucy smiling at me.

"Hi sweetie." I whispered as I started tracing little patterns on the back of her hand. "I can't wait to take you home."

Ezra came up behind me and in a soothing manner, started running his hand up and down my back.

"Daddy can't wait either." Ezra stuck his hand in one of the holes on the other side of her incubator and Lucy immediately grabbed onto one of his fingers. She tightly wrapped her fingers around Ezra's pointer finger.

Lucy started putting her hands up to her face and kept feeling around her face. Her little fingers tried to grasp the breathing tube connected to her nose but kept failing.

"What is she doing?" Ezra questioned, watching her.

"I have no idea." I whispered, as I continued watching her. Lucy's fingers finally got a relatively good grip on the breathing tube. Ezra and I frowned as she struggled to pull it out of her nose.

"Why is she doing that?" I asked.

"Maybe it's uncomfortable and bothering her." Ezra scrunched his eyebrows together in confusion at Lucy's bizarre actions.

Ezra and I both gasped as we watched Lucy pull the breathing tube right off of her face. She clutched it tightly in her hand, waving it around wildly as if it were a prize she had just won.

"She's a cute baby." A voice behind us suddenly said, making Ezra and I both jump in surprise.

"Who are you?" Ezra asked, as he came face to face with a doctor in light blue scrubs.

"Sorry, I did not mean to startle you." He apologized. "I'm Dr. Matt Fisher, the neonatologist of the NICU. I was told you were having some problems with Dr. White, so I was assigned to be Lucy's new doctor." He smiled at us as he shook Ezra's hand.

"Do you have a history of overdosing newborns?" Ezra muttered under his breath.

"No." Dr. Fisher chuckled. "But we all make mistakes."

"There are some mistakes that can't afford to be made." Ezra paused. "She could have killed her."

"Ezra." I whimpered. I had to admit that I was a bit shocked that those words had just come out of Ezra's mouth.

"I understand, that overdosing newborns is a very severe issue, but I can assure you that it will not happen again."

"Okay." Ezra nodded, taking a deep breath.

"Thank you." I said to him. "Um, Lucy just pulled her breathing tube out of her nose. But she seems to be doing fine without it."

"She pulled it out herself?" He asked in disbelief.

Ezra nodded. "Is that… normal? What does that mean?"

"It means that she no longer needs it." He said pointedly, as he walked over to Lucy and looked at her inside the incubator. "Aria's right." He said after a few minutes. "Lucy seems to be breathing fine without it."

I turned to Ezra with a huge smile on my face.

"So her lungs are developed okay?" I asked eagerly. I could not believe it. Finally, something good happened to Lucy. If she was breathing on her own, that meant she could be taken out of the incubator!

The doctor put his stethoscope against Lucy's chest. He felt her pulse and measured her breathing.

"Her breathing is deep and regular, so if you want to, we can take her off of the incubator." Dr. Fisher said with a smile on his face.

"Definitely!" Ezra exclaimed. "If she can stay without being incubated, then definitely. Take her off of the incubator!"

"Right now, I need to weigh her again." Dr. Fisher said.

"He seems much better." I said quietly to Ezra, referring to the new doctor, as we watched Dr. Fisher take Lucy out of the room.

"This is such good news!" He smiled. For the first time in a long time, it was a genuine smile. "I'm sorry, Aria."

I looked at him, confused. What did he have to be sorry for? Everything was finally working out the way it was supposed to.

"I did not mean to be so mean earlier. I just… I just want her to be okay. I'm not sure if I can handle any more bad things happening to her. I just want to take her home."

I nodded as he wrapped his arms around me.

"I want us to be a family." He whispered in my ear.

"We are." I said simply. "And I can't wait for her to come home either."

We both turned towards the door as we heard footsteps coming towards us. Dr. Fisher appeared a moment later in the doorway with Lucy.

"She's two pounds and ten ounces, so she's gained about two ounces since yesterday, which is good." Dr. Fisher held her in his arms, watching Lucy with a smile on his face.

"Can I hold her?" I looked up at him hopefully.

Dr. Fisher nodded and handed Lucy to me. I could not explain the feelings that enveloped me at that moment. Lucy's big brown eyes stared into mine, and I struggled to tear my gaze away from her face. She was so beautiful. I pushed a small lock of her dark hair away from her eyes and smiled. I felt such a strong feeling of overwhelming love. Lucy was in my arms. My baby was finally out of the incubator and things were finally taking a turn for the better.

…PLL…

The moment we got home, I kicked off my shoes and went over to the couch. Ezra sat down beside me. Neither of us had said anything during the car ride home, because we both knew how the other was feeling without conveying the emotions out loud.

As I turned towards Ezra, he took me in his arms and I cuddled against his chest. His fingers stroked my hair, while I closed my eyes in bliss from his touch. We had been through so much with Lucy these past few weeks. I opened my eyes again and looked around the room. I could not explain the happiness I had felt when the doctor had told me that Lucy's breathing was deep and regular again. I could not wait until the day Ezra and I could bring her home. The day where she can sleep in the new crib we had bought her. The day she could drink milk from one of the pink bottles Hanna had picked out for her. The day Ezra and I could go out in public and show the world what a beautiful daughter we had.

I looked up at Ezra, who was looking down at me with a look of pure love in his eyes. We stared into each other's eyes for a moment, before I leaned up to kiss him. Our lips met in a gentle kiss. As I felt him about to pull away, I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him closer to me. He cupped my face in his hands as he deepened the kiss. Our bodies were pressed together as we continued kissing. It had been so long since Ezra and I had managed to have any alone time, between everything that happened with Jackie and everything Lucy has been going through. I pulled away slowly and gazed into his eyes.

"I miss you." I whispered, before attacking his lips again. He slid his tongue into my mouth and I kissed him harder.

"I miss you too." He said softly against my lips, before pressing his lips to mine again.

…PLL…

Ezra and I had worked on the nursery in our spare time when he was not busy with work or I with homework or when we were not at the hospital. The moments we spent in that room were bittersweet, knowing Lucy was here and alive, but not physically at the house, the place where she belonged.

As I got up from the couch after my heated make-out session with Ezra, I took hold of his hand as we walked into the nursery together. It saddened me a bit, knowing that Lucy was born; yet she had never seen this room before. I paused in the doorway as I looked around the bedroom. Presents were scattered all over the room.

"Who are all these from?" I walked into the room and bent down, looking at the tag on one of the gifts. It read: "Mike."

"This one is from Emily and Samara." Ezra motioned to one of the gift bags.

"You know, we never got to throw you a baby shower." Ezra said as he stood up straight.

"Well let's count this as it, because it seems like every family member I have, sent us a present for Lucy." I giggled.

"Oh my God." I laughed, flipping over the tag on one of the presents that was sitting next to me. "This one is from my Aunt Ruth."

"The one who got her cat stuffed when he died?" Ezra questioned.

I looked at him in disbelief.

"How in the world do you know that?" I was completely and utterly confused. How did Ezra know about Mugsy?

"You told me the first time you came over to my apartment for dinner." He tried to help me remember the story I had told him.

"The dinner that actually worked out? After you lectured me in class?" I smirked, finally remembering the moment.

He nodded in response as he moved closer to me so he could see the gift.

I pulled the tissue paper out of the bag and peered inside. I pulled out a little pink dress with flowers all over it.

"That's cute." Ezra smiled. "Wait, how did she know you had a baby? Have you talked to her?"

I shook my head. "I have not heard from her in almost a year. My parents must have told her…" I stuck my hand in the bag once again and pulled out a matching pink sweater and a little pair of gold shoes.

"They're so tiny." I gushed, holding the shoes up for Ezra to see. "She will look so adorable in these."

"Once she actually fits in them. She can't fit in regular one to three month old clothes." He folded the clothes and set them aside before handing me another present.

"She would be size negative three." I could not help but let out a giggle at the absurdity of the sizing chart.

"This one is from Hanna and Caleb." Ezra handed me a big box that had been set near the closet. I opened the flaps of the box to reveal a gift basket. Ezra pulled it out and set it in front of us.

"Wow." Ezra asked, shocked. Hanna had gone overboard, of course. The basket was almost as big as me and was artistically stuffed with little dresses, at least a dozen pairs of shoes, hair clips and headbands, a big teddy bear, socks with lace, little hats, bibs, pajama sets, and a big Juicy Couture diaper bag in the center that had a pink pillow in placed halfway inside it. The pillow read "Princess" in dark pink stitching with the Juicy Couture emblem above it.

"I think that this one will need the biggest thank you card." Ezra laughed, marveling over the huge gift basket.

I shook my head in response to his comment.

"What do you mean, no? You're not going to give her a thank you card?" He asked me, shocked. "She just gave you probably over nine hundred dollars worth of stuff for Lucy. I bet that almost everything that is inside of there is Juicy Couture."

"How do you know what Juicy is?" I asked in astonishment. Ezra did not seem the type to know his designers.

"Besides the fact that the pillow says, Juicy Couture, in big letters," He smirked. "I've spent so much time with Hanna since I got the job at Hollis, that she's taught me a lot about designers. Did you know that Ralph Lauren collects cars? Literally."

I shook my head in disbelief. Leave it to Hanna to teach a teacher about designers.

"She'll kill me if I give her a thank you card. What she really will want is to go on a shopping spree or have a spa day with her or something. She says that cards are for people who are too scared to say what they want to say to your face."

Ezra shook his head. "Have fun with that then."

"Oh, don't think that you're off the hook." I raised my eyebrows at him as I started tearing the purple wrapping paper off another present that was from Emily.

Ezra looked back at me with wide eyes, fear traced all over his pupils.

"Hanna is not dragging me to go to a spa and on a shopping spree with the two of you." He folded his arms across his chest and looked away from me.

"I don't care what you say, but it's not going to happen."

I could not help but laugh at his stubbornness.

"Ez, I would never let her do that to you." I assured him as I held up the little dress Emily had bought Lucy. "Toby and Caleb want to spend a day with you; take you out somewhere." I shrugged as I set the dress aside.

"Where?"

"No idea. They won't tell anyone. Its bugging Hanna to death."

He nodded in understanding.

Maybe this was what we both needed; a day free of stress and worries. I had to admit that I missed Hanna, Spencer, and Emily. I have not been able to spend much time with them lately and when I got pregnant, our Friday sleepovers had been put on hold.

"We need to make a list of what everyone's getting us." Ezra pulled out his iPhone and started a note on it, describing each present from each person.

"And we need to thank everyone… but Hanna." He said.

"Exactly." I smiled. "Her thank you is a different thank you than everyone else's."

We spent the next hour opening presents from our friends and my family. To my surprise, Jackie had gotten Ezra and I a stroller for Lucy. I voiced my shock towards Ezra at the gift, but Ezra just shrugged it off, saying that she must be truly sorry for lying to us about Maria. Hardy had gotten Lucy a blanket and a stuffed animal and a little dress. I let out a small giggle at the thought of Hardy shopping for baby clothes in the little girl's section of a store. After Ezra and I had opened up all the gifts, I could not help but be very thankful for all the amazing friends and family I had. Even though I had gotten pregnant as a teenager, and I was in love with my ex-English teacher, I could not have asked for a better life.

I tried to include less drama and more Aria and Ezra time/the fluff that I could come up with haha. I wish it were Tuesday… can't wait for 209. Hope you guys liked this chapter, and PLEASE REVIEW!
