"We know," Ella nodded.

"What? How?" I scrunched my eyebrows at Ella, completely confused.

"The police came here yesterday looking for the three of you."

I looked at her in shock. The police had beat me to my parents? How was Ezra not in jail right now?

I slowly turned to Ezra, who had pure shock displayed all over his face as well. Both Ezra and I sunk down into the chairs beside us as we processed Ella's words.

"Well, what happened?" I asked, looking up at her in disbelief.

"They had some pictures of the two of you in Ezra's old classroom and they wanted to know if he took advantage of you. I told them that the pictures were taken after Ezra left Rosewood."

"And they believed you?" Ezra asked, shocked.

Ella nodded. "Lucky for you, yeah, they did. Officer Garret though, seemed a little suspicious. He kept asking me if I was telling the truth or not and that I shouldn't try to do anything to protect you." Ella told Ezra.

A's plan had completely backfired. A got what they wanted, but their plan did not work.

"Thank you for that, Ella."

I looked up as I heard a set of footsteps enter the room. Mike appeared a moment later with Lucy in his arms. "What's going on?"

Ella looked at me, asking for permission to tell him the truth.

"The police know that Ezra and I were together while he was my teacher." I stated.

Mike looked at me in disbelief. Ezra held his arms out for Lucy as Mike quickly transferred the small girl into Ezra's arms. Ezra held her close to his chest and pressed a kiss to her forehead. I could not help but smile. Lucy had him wrapped around her little finger.

"How?" Mike asked, curiously.

Ella walked over to a drawer in the kitchen and pulled out a manila envelope. I immediately snatched it from her hands and ripped it open, knowing exactly what I was going to find.

The first picture revealed itself again as Ezra and I kissing in his classroom.

I flipped the other picture over. Ezra was holding my hands in his and we were standing at the front of his old classroom.

Mike glanced at the pictures and gasped. "Seriously you guys? Why would you be so irresponsible?"

I looked at him in disbelief. "It doesn't matter anymore, the police dropped the case."

"It does matter, because they could have sent Ezra to jail." Mike clarified. "What would you have done then, Aria? Lucy wouldn't have a father because of your carelessness."

"Mike, stop." Ella said.

"No! She needs to realize that she's a mother and that she needs to take better care of her daughter!" Mike cried out, throwing his hands up in the air.

"You think I don't know that?" I asked, as tears began to brim my eyelashes. "Mike, you don't realize what kind of hell I've been through these past few months! Lucy was born three months early! There was a chance that she wasn't going to make it through all of that! She was overdosed because some doctors were stupid and irresponsible. How do you think I felt, as a mother, watching my daughter go through all of that? I only wanted her to come home. How helpless do you think I felt, watching her in so much pain, and not being able to do a single damn thing about it? I couldn't even hold my daughter properly, because there were always tubes and wires connected to every part of her body."

Ezra came up behind me and took me in his arms, trying to comfort me. I felt a tear slide down my cheek as I recalled all those painful memories. The fear that had flooded through me when my water had broken that night was indescribable. At that moment, I had not known what was going to happen to my baby.

"Mike," Ezra interfered. "Aria's been through a lot these past few months. You have to admit, for being a teenage mother, she's doing a really good job."

"Of course you'll take her side!" Mike snapped.

"You know what, I want to leave." I looked up at Ezra. "We need to get home, it's getting late." I grabbed my coat from the couch and slid it on.

"We'll see you guys later."

After our quick good-bye's, I followed Ezra and Lucy out of my parents' house. We silently got into the car, and begun the short drive home.

As we entered the quiet house, an overwhelming feeling of happiness washed over me. I was finally home. Ezra, Lucy, and I were together again. A couldn't do anything to hurt us, because my parents were on our side.

Ezra disappeared into Lucy's room, probably to change her and put her to sleep.

He was being so helpful, that I felt bad. I knew he loved Lucy to death, and I was so thankful that I have had him by my side during my pregnancy. He stood by my side the whole time. Even after finding out that his teenage girlfriend was pregnant; he stuck with me through the whole thing. Even after the countless times Jackie tried to get him back, he never gave in. He could have had the perfect little family with Jackie and Maria. They could have been living in cozy little house with a white picket fence, taking Maria out for ice cream on Friday nights, and going to the movies together as a family of three, without receiving any nasty glares or dirty looks from passerby's. He would never have gotten any crap from anyone about being with a student. His life would have been simple and carefree.

But he doesn't want any of that. A voice in the back of my head reminded me. He wants you.

I felt a tear begin to slide down my cheek. He really did love me. And only me.

I hastily wiped away the few tears that had escaped eyes, as I heard Ezra re-enter the room.

"Aria, are you okay?" Ezra asked quietly, after a few silent moments. He hung his coat up in the closet before turning to me.

I turned to look at him. I had not realized how exhausted and stressed he looked until now. I had put him through his own personal hell when I left the hotel the other night. He must have gone crazy, not knowing where Lucy or I were. Anything could have happened to us, and he never would have known about it.

"I'm sorry." I whispered, as I took a few steps closer to him.

"I know." He nodded, realizing what I was talking about immediately. "Just promise me..."

"Anything." I whispered.

"Don't ever leave me again."

I nodded, before crushing my lips to his. His tongue traced my lower lip before he thrusted his tongue into my open mouth as he tangled his fingers in my hair. I moaned against his lips as I pulled him closer to me. He kissed me fervently, holding me impossibly close against him. Ezra slipped his hands under my thighs before hoisting me off of the ground. I wrapped my legs tightly around his waist, pressing our bodies as close as possible together, as I locked my legs around his body. Our tongues explored each other's mouths, as he moaned softly against my lips.

"Bedroom." I mumbled against his lips as I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck. He effortlessly guided us to the bedroom without breaking off the passion filled kiss.

Ezra gently laid me down on the bed before our lips met again with a heated intensity. I slid my hands up his shirt to explore the lengths of his chest, before pulling the shirt off of him completely. Ezra made sure that my shirt was not far behind, as he tugged it off of me before hastily tossing it to the floor. He kissed me again with a renewed passion, as I pressed my body tightly against his. Sparks soared through my body as my mind began to get dizzy from all the kissing. As our mouths molded perfectly against each other, I could not help but wonder how I got so lucky. What had I done to deserve a man as perfect as Ezra?

My thoughts were quickly whisked away as I pulled away from Ezra's lips in desperate need of air. Our mouths quickly met again however, desperate to feel the pressure of the others' again. Ezra's hands moved to my waist as our tongues played together, teasing each other endlessly. I kissed him back feverishly, wanting everything.

"Ezra…" I moaned against his lips, before kissing him harder and deeper. I tangled my fingers in his hair as our tongues danced together.

Breathlessly, Ezra pulled away for a moment. "I love you."

My heart skipped a beat as I pulled his body closer to mine, our lips meeting in a kiss full of raw passion. We continued from there.

This story is going to be ending really soon! I decided on 2 or 3 more chapters. Hope you guys liked this, PLEASE REVIEW!
