Chapter 36: Being honest

Aria decided that it was time to go out and do some shopping. Ezra didn't let her to go alone, so she had to call Hanna. Spencer was too busy with her studying and Aria knew how important that was for her. This was why she didn't want to call her. Hanna on the other hand, she loved to go shopping and she always happened to have some free time. When Aria called her, she was more than happy to oblige. They had to go and look for a crib and some small details for the baby's room. Ezra was too busy at his work right now and Aria didn't want to disturb him. They had painted the room pink already. Now the only thing that was missing was the furniture. if her mother was there, Aria would go shopping with her. But Ella was back in Rosewood. They had heard over the phone few times, but that was it.

Aria felt tired most of the time recently, but her doctor had assured that was normal. She was in the middle of her seventh month and the baby was growing nicely. The only thing that concerned doctor Martin was that, Aria was too thin. She had lost her appetite recently, but was trying to eat anyway. She was doing it because of her baby girl. She wanted her daughter to grow in her nice and healthy. Because she liked reading way too much, Aria had bough bunch of books about baby's development. So, when Ezra was busy with his piles of homework, Aria used to read such kind of book. She knew almost all about the baby's development. She knew what to do and what not to do when she was in the seventh month.

The other thing that concerned her about was the constant worry in Ezra's eyes. She knew that she had a problem with the placenta. She knew that could provoke even bigger problem during the labor, or even a premature labor. The last one, Aria was trying to avoid. She was doing everything that doctor Martin was telling her to do. She spent most of her time in the bed. It was boring, but if that could calm Ezra a little even, it was worth it.

"Hey," Hanna waved her hand in front of Aria's face. They were in the shop already and Aria blinked. "Earth to Aria!"

"I'm sorry," Aria tried to smile. "I was thinking about something."

"About what?" Hanna looked at her friend. "Is there a problem? Do you want me to take you back home or call Ezra?"

"No, no!" Aria shook her head and nodded at the nearby crib. "I like that one."

"It's nice," Hanna didn't even look at the crib. "What's the problem?"

"I'm worried about Ezra!" Aria sighed and turned around to look at Hanna. "He's worrying too much and he lost his sleep."

"He's worried about you and that's fine by me!" Hanna shrugged. "Honestly, I think he's giving his best to keep you happy and healthy!"

"What do you know about this?" Aria frowned.

"I talked to Spencer," her friend shrugged. "She told me that he's giving his best to push Suzy away and..."

"Wait! Wait!" Aria scoffed. "To push Suzy away? Suzy... as Mr. Green's daughter Suzy?"

"I... think you don't know about that," Hanna bit her lower lip. "It's nothing really and I should keep my mouth shut! Why I keep talking that much?"

"Hanna!" Aria clenched her fists at the both sides of her body.

"Calm down, please!" Hanna looked around. "It's not good for you to be angry right now and you know it!"

"That little bitch!" Aria hissed with narrowed eyes. "I'm gonna teach her a lesson!" She turned around and stormed out of the shop.

"Aria!" Hanna tried to catch her friend, but she reached her when Aria was already outside. "Calm down, please!"

Aria stood at one place, but she looked angry. Hanna frowned, cursing her big mouth under her nose. Why she had to mention that problem now? She had to assume that Ezra would want to protect Aria right now. It wasn't like her friend's pregnancy was one of the easiest after all. And now this? Hanna sighed and stared at her friend.

"Don't you even dare!" Aria hissed.

"Dare what?" Hanna walked to her car and Aria followed her. "I didn't say a thing."

"Take me to Ezra, now!" Aria get into the car and couldn't see Hanna's frowned face.

"I don't think that's the best idea ever," Hanna trailed off and started the engine. "Maybe you should wait for him when he's back home and then you can talk."

"Hanna?" Aria glared at her.

"Yes?"

"Now!"

"Okay," Hanna mumbled and drove off.

When they reached to Ezra's work, the classes were over. Aria found him, sitting behind his desk and staring at some reading assignments. Hanna offered to wait in the car. Aria knew that her friend didn't want to bother her right now. And honestly, she needed some privacy when it comes talking to her husband. Ezra didn't notice her at first, but when he did, a giant smile showed to his face.

"Hey," he said softly, getting off the chair. "What are you doing here?"

"Tell me you're not lying to me again!" Aria frowned. "I want to hear that from you!"

His smile disappeared and he shoved his hands into his pockets, "Lying about what?"

"Ezra!" Aria scoffed. "I thought we've passed through this!"

"Yes, we are." He sighed. "And seriously, I don't know what you're talking about."

"Suzy Green?" Aria put her hands on her hips. "I thought you're going to share something like this."

"Aria..," Ezra took a step forward, but she put her hands up to stop him. "Look, it's not that big of a deal, okay?"

"Even if it is," Aria shook her head. "I thought that you're going to tell me something like this. What's going on with this girl?"

"She's... into me," Ezra sighed with annoyance. "I thought the news of our marriage would stop her, but..."

"I can deal with her!" Aria scoffed.

"No, you won't!" Ezra frowned. "You have to be calm now, okay? In any other case, I wouldn't mind. But not now!"

"You're been overprotective!"

"No," he shook his head. "I'm trying to be the voice of reason here... and seriously, I know how to deal with Suzy Green. You don't have to worry about that, okay?"

"Ask me something more difficult," Aria frowned. "I want to punch her face right now!"

Ezra chuckled and walked closer to her, "I know that, babe." This time Aria didn't step back, but leaned to him. He wrapped his arms around her and rubbed her back soothingly. "You can be such a warrior when you want to!" He planted a kiss on the top of her head and Aria sighed. "Feeling better now?"

"I'm not sure," she mumbled. "I still have the feeling that you're hiding something from me and I don't like it."

Ezra kept rubbing her back and sighed, "You have to understand that everything I'm doing right now is to keep you safe!" He pulled back slightly to look at her. Aria lifted her face up to look at him. "I know that you won't like it... sometimes. But you have to know how much I love you, Aria!" Ezra kissed her nose and she sighed. "This is why I'm like this."

"I know," Aria mumbled again. "I just... I want you to be able to tell me everything."

"I will," Ezra smiled and winked at her. "As soon as I see you holding our daughter in your arms."

"That will happen," Aria chuckled. "Just two more months."

"Yep," Ezra sighed, staring at her. "Two more months."
