Christmas/New Years #3

(A/N: I apologize that some parts of this chapter are short and others a little longer)

General POV

This year for the time around Christmas and New Years everyone seemed to have their own plans. Emily and Alison decided to spend some time with Kayla so she didn't have to be alone over the holidays. Aria and Ezra would be staying in LA at their apartment with now 6 month old Gabby. Ezra's mother had decided to surprise them by making an unexpected visit. Hanna and Caleb were staying with Caleb's mom in Montecito over the holidays. Spencer and Toby would be staying at the LA house with almost 2 month old Mackenzie. Jason was still in Rosewood with Abby. The only 2 people that talk he talks to on the phone are Spencer and Alison.

1. Jason's apartment - Kayla, Alison, and Emily

*Wednesday December 21st*

"Jason sent me this picture of Abby today." Alison said as she was showing the picture to Kayla.

"I don't understand him at all." Kayla said

"What do you mean?" Alison asked

"Jason told me I can call him anytime to see what's new with Abby but he hasn't called me back and it's been 2 days since I called." Kayla said

"It's because my brother broke up with you and knowing Jason he probably moved on with some other girl by now." Alison said

"It might be because of something else. Spencer told me she called Jason and he told her about this awkward run in 3 days ago with your dad Kayla." Emily said

"Did Jason tell you what made it so awkward between him and my dad?" Kayla asked

"Jason invited your dad for Christmas dinner so he is probably just waiting to see how that goes before calling you back." Emily said

"I can't imagine that dinner to go well." Kayla said

"Would it help if I book a flight to Rosewood and surprise Jason for Christmas?" Alison asked

"Not unless you can get Abby back for me." Kayla said

"Well unfortunately the only way that can happen is if I kidnap Abby for you and I'm not doing that to my brother." Alison said

2. Ezria's apartment above Cappuccino Books Cafe

*Thursday December 22*

Dealing with Ezra's mom visiting hasn't exactly been the best time for Aria.

"You know when Ezra told me that you and him had a baby I thought he was joking at first." Mrs. Fitzgerald said

"Well Ezra and I did have a baby. Gabriella is the best thing in both Ezras and my life right now." Aria said

"What kind of name is Gabriella anyway? It sounds like some Disney Character or something?" Mrs. Fitzgerald asked

"Yes Gabriella Montez from High School Musical but that isn't why we chose her name. Gabrielle Douglas is one of my favorite girls in Gymnastics and the Olympics. We changed the E at the end into an A because my moms name is Ella." Aria said

"I suppose you and Ezra got married because of the baby?" Mrs. Fitzgerald asked

"I guess you could say that but Ezra and I married because we love each other. If we didn't get married last Christmas we would probably be married by now since we were already engaged at the time." Aria said

"One more question, Do you and my son plan to live in this apartment forever?" Mrs. Fitzgerald asked

"There is nothing wrong with this apartment but to make you happy we do plan on moving into a house sometime in the future. Ezra and I would then rent this apartment out to someone else." Aria said

"Aria you do realize when you and Ezra have another kid you are going to need to find a bigger place to live?" Mrs. Fitzgerald asked

"Yes I do but point #1 I'm not currently pregnant and point #2 Ezra and I are being careful so another pregnancy has a less of a chance to actually happen." Aria said

"Are you and Ezra ever going to have a real wedding?" Mrs. Fitzgerald asked

"I thought we were done with all these questions. The wedding Ezra and I had was real enough for us." Aria said

"Eloping at Rosewood church, I don't call that a real wedding Aria. I'm sure Ezra spent way more on your engagement and wedding rings then eloping in a church cost." Mrs. Fitzgerald said

"Ezra and I didn't need some fancy expensive wedding. We were actually smart to save up money that will go towards a house and gabby's college fund instead of wasting it all on a wedding. Weddings only last one night but our future is years." Aria said

"If you call one of your friends to babysit Gabby I can take you out to lunch. The restaurant in the hotel is really great." Mrs. Fitzgerald said

"It may be great food but it's also one of the most expensive hotel restaurants in LA." Aria said

"Is there somewhere you would like to eat lunch?" Mrs. Fitzgerald asked

"I was going to suggest that we do downstairs to the cafe. That way Ezra can join us for lunch." Aria said

Ezra's mom didn't go for that idea so Aria ended up going down to the cafe with Gabby. Aria waited a little while in Ezra's office because the cafe was busy so Ezra couldn't join her for lunch yet.

"Where's my mom?" Ezra asked

"Probably at the fancy and expensive hotel restaurant that she wanted to take me for lunch but I told her I would rather eat in the cafe with you." Aria said

"I know you don't get along with my mom Aria but at least we can be thankful that she is sleeping in a hotel room and not on our apartment couch." Ezra said

"Your mom told me that because we eloped in a church it doesn't count as a real wedding." Aria said

"Aria, don't listen to my mom. The wedding we had in Rosewood church was real." Ezra said

3. Spoby - The house in LA

*Friday December 23rd*

Toby had just gotten home from work. It was the middle of the afternoon on the day before Christmas Eve.

"Spence, LAPD asked me to work tomorrow and the next day. Christmas Eve is the 3 PM to 11 PM shift and Christmas day is the 7 AM to 3 PM shift.." Toby said

"I thought you told me you asked to have Christmas eve and Christmas day off." Spencer said

"I did and the police chief already approved it off but someone else that was scheduled to work had a family emergency and needed the time off." Toby said

"I'm not happy about it but you do get double pay for working on a holiday so I guess it's fine." Spencer said

"You know Spence, we can celebrate Christmas tonight." Toby said

Spencer and Toby celebrated Christmas with Mackenzie. It was her first Christmas so they tried to make it extra special for the family. Spencer and Toby took plenty of pictures so Mackenzie could remember her first Christmas. Spencer and Toby bought each other gifts but they also made sure to buy things for Mackenzie.

4. Haleb - Caleb's mom's house

*Saturday December 24th*

Hanna and Caleb were having a great holiday so far. Hanna and Caleb will be in Montecito, California for almost another week but would be home in LA just in time for New Years.

"We should spend more holidays together as a family." Caleb said

"You and Hanna are welcome here and it doesn't just have to be on holidays." Caleb's mom said

"We know mom." Caleb said

"Caleb and I would stay for New Years but we want to be back in LA with our friends." Hanna said

"Have you made anymore wedding plans?" Caleb's mom asked

"All we have to do now is pick the date and location which Hanna and I can't seem to agree on." Caleb said

"If you wanted to have the wedding in Montecito you two are more then welcome to have it here." Caleb's mom said

"Actually that sounds like a great idea. Caleb and I will think about it and let you know." Hanna said

5. Jason, Abby, and Alison in Rosewood, PA

*Saturday December 31*

Jason was really surprised when Alison showed up in Rosewood yesterday.

"I wish Spencer was here in Rosewood with us." Jason said

"I asked Spence to come with me but she wanted to spend the New Years with Toby, Mackenzie, and everyone else in LA." Alison said

"I understand but It would have been nice to have all 3 of us together for New Years since we weren't together for Christmas." Jason said

"You were the one to leave LA Jason. It was your choice, not mine or Spencers." Alison said

"I need time and space away from LA so that's why I left. I wasn't happy with how my relationship with Kayla was going." Jason said

"You didn't have to break up with her before you left LA." Alison said

"If I didn't the long distance relationship probably wouldn't have lasted very long so Kayla and I would have been headed for a breakup." Jason said

Thoughts on this chapter?

Next chapter will be January.

New Story called "Secrets of the Past" is now posted

What do you think will happen next: for Spoby? for Haleb? for Ezria? for Emison? for Jason/Kayla?

Any other ideas?

What characters should have scenes together?

Who should be involved in a love triangle? I already have two possible love triangles. Jason, Hanna, Caleb (Will end with Haleb) and Wren, Spencer, Toby (Will end with Spoby). The Love Triangles are only for the drama.

Thank You for reading, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please remember to Review.
