"Aria," Toby said shakily, turning to face Aria, still restraining her.
"Toby, don't pay attention to that," Aria cried.
"I take it you know what it says. You wanna tell me what this means?"
"Its, 'A' , Toby! You can't-"
"I don't care. In my experience, 'A' tends to tell the truth," Toby growled, his eyes burning into Aria's.
Aria bit her lip and tears ran strong down her face, "This is what I came over here to talk to you about."
"What? That you've been sleeping with him?"
"No, Toby no. well... yes, but that;s not it. I slept with him once, after my doctors appointment. I was feeling insecure and scared-"
"You knew you were pregnant?" Toby thundered.
Aria bit her lip and nodded, "Please, just please. Let me talk."
Toby took a deep breath, "Fine say it."
"I've been falling apart since I found out Ezra was coming back from Jail. Everything, so many memories, good and bad, I got overwhelmed. I still love him, I never stopped, but I love you too," He looked away, and Aria moved trying to hold his gaze, "I care about you, and cheating was the worst thing I will ever do."
"Really? Because the last time I checked the worst thing you ever did was get knocked up by your english teacher," Toby said finally meeting her gaze.
It cut deep Aria couldn't respond, and Toby looked away again, "Please,' Aria rushed to say something, "i'm telling you! Its not like my father. I'm not hiding it."
"No, this is exactly like your father. Would you have told me if 'A' hadn't pushed? I know that last text you got was from her."
'Yes, Toby I would have told you."
Toby read her face for a second, "no you wouldn't have," Toby said calmly, "Please go."
"Toby-"
"We'll talk about this tomorrow."
Aria bit her lip, and then walked out of the kitchen. Emily saw her pass and considdered following her out, but Toby came into the room.
"What did you do to her," Emily asked appalled.
"Whatever's happened to her, she brought on herself," Toby said without feeling.
Emily just shook her head, "What happened to you Toby?"
