Aria's POV

*Thursday July 25th*

Today for Jaydes 4th birthday we were just going to have a mom and daughter day. The family birthday party was going to be on Saturday. Mona flew home last night but Mike hasn't seen her yet since she spent the night at her mom's house. Jayde and I were going to see Mona this morning.

Mike, Jayde, and I all ate breakfast together.

"I'm going to be at Noel's all day unless you need me for babysitting." Mike said

"It's fine, I can just take Leo with me." I said

"Do we have to mommy?" Jayde asked

"Yes, you need to spend more time with your baby brother. The past 5 months you have hardly wanted to be around him." I said

"I miss being an only child." Jayde said

"Jayde, you may not be the only child anymore but you will always be the older sister. That means as you grow older you will get to do things before your brother can." I said


Shortly after Mike left I was on my way to Mona's.

"Can I sit in the front seat?" Jayde asked

"No." I said

"Please mommy." Jayde said

"No Jayde, it's not safe you you in the front seat. If I were to get into an accident you are at risk of getting more serious injures in the front the seat since you are a young kid." I said

"How old do I have to be for the front seat?" Jayde asked

"The recommendation is 12 years old for the front seat and you are only 4 Jayde." I said

"That's not fair." Jayde said

"At least you only have the booster seat and not the car seat." I said


Jayde sat in the back seat next to her brother even though she wasn't happy about it. The drive to Mona's moms house was less then 15 minutes since she lives in Rosewood.

"Hi, Mrs. V." I said

"Hi Aria, Mona is upstairs, she got home late last night so she may still be sleeping." Mrs. V. said

"Sorry I had to bring the kids with me but Mike's at a friends house and I didn't want to ask my parents or my friends to watch them." I said

"That's alright. Mona needs to be around kids because she will be having her own in the fall." Mrs. V said

"I'm happy for Mona but she really needs to tell my brother because I don't know how much longer I can keep the secret from him." I said

"I'm sure Mona will tell Mike as soon as she gets the chance. I would hate for him to find out from someone else. Besides me, I know Mona has told you and Hanna but I don't know if she told anyone else." Mrs. V. said

"I sort of slipped up and told Toby who I'm sure told Spencer who might have told Emily and Alison." I said


I went upstairs to see Mona. I was holding Leo but Jayde ran up the stairs.

"If Mona's sleeping just let her sleep Jayde." I said but Jayde had already ran into Mona's room and woke her up.

"Someone's excited to see me." Mona said

"Sorry Mona, I told her not to wake you up." I said

"It may be 11 am but my mind is still on Hawaii time so it feels like 5 am to me." Mona said

"I can take the kids home and come back later if you want more sleep." I said

"No, that's alright. " Mona said

"How are you Mona?" I asked

"I'm doing ok. I miss Hawaii but it was time to come home." Mona said

"I'm sorry about your grandma." I said

"I'm sad but I'm glad that I decided to stay in Hawaii a few extra months to be with her." Mona said

"It's unfortunate that she won't get to meet her grand kid." I said

"My grandma was with me for the gender reveal ultrasound. It was one of the last moments we had together." Mona said

"Can you tell me the gender or is that something you want to tell Mike first?" I asked

"It's a girl." Mona said

"Yah." Jayde said and started jumping up and down.

"Someone's happy about that." Mona said

"It's my birthday, I'm 4." Jayde said and held up 4 fingers

"Happy Birthday Jayde." Mona said

"The family birthday party for Jayde is on Saturday but you are welcome to come. I'm sure Mike will be happy to see you." I said

"I'm sure he will since Mike doesn't even know I'm back in Rosewood yet." Mona said

"Is that another secret I'm supposed to keep?" I asked

"Is Mike going to be home tonight so I can tell him and then it won't be a secret anymore." Mona said

"Mike is at Noel's house right now which is why I have the kids here with me but I would think he would be home by dinner time." I said

"How old is Leo now?" Mona asked

"He's 5 months old." I said

"How is Jayde doing?" Mona asked

"Great, She hasn't had any heart issues this year. Jayde is doing so well that her doctor said she should be able to go off her heart monitor completely in a few months if she continues to do well." I said

"I can see that Jayde has grown since the last time I saw her." Mona said

"Yes, Jayde did grow and she is also now in the normal weight range for her size and age. I don't know how I feel about going off the heart monitor. I would rather play it safe then be sorry and she only wears it now when sleeping or exercising." I said

Jayde and I are lunch with Mona and her mom. After lunch Mona bottle fed Leo and changed his diaper because her mom suggested that she got some practice in baby care. I stayed at Mona's for a few more hours until going back to the house I share with my kids and my brother. Mona went with us so Mike could see her and he could know about her pregnancy as soon as he got home from Noels.


Mike got home a little while after us and Mona decided to go into Mike's bedroom so she could surprise him.

"How was your day." Mike asked

"Great." I said

"Uncle Mike, there is a surprise waiting for you in your room." Jayde said

"Thank you for telling me birthday girl." Mike said

A minute later I walked towards Mike's bedroom because I wanted to hear his reaction when he saw Mona. He was surprised and happy to see here.

"If you can't already tell I'm pregnant." Mona said

"Is the baby mine?" Mike asked

"No, I slept with a random Hawaiian boy." Mona said

"Mona, you cheated on me?" Mike yelled

"Relax, I was only joking around. Of course the baby is yours Mike." Mona said

"I'm only 20 Mona." Mike said

"If Aria can be a mom at 18 then we can be parents at 20 and 22." Mona said

"The last time we had sex was over 6 months ago so why didn't you tell me you were pregnant sooner?" Mike asked

"It wasn't something I wanted to tell you over the phone and I had a lot going on with my grandma. After she passed I knew I needed to come home and tell you. I'm sorry for not wanting you to come visit me in Hawaii but I didn't want you stick around Hawaii when I needed to be with my grandma." Mona said

"Can you stay the night so we can catch up?" Mike asked

"Yes, as long as it's ok with my mom because I just got home last night and she's being all over protective now that i'm pregnant." Mona said

"How long has your mom known because she let you stay in Hawaii?" Mike asked

"I told my mom months ago and like I said she couldn't stay long term in Hawaii but she wanted someone to stay for her mom." Mona said

"Who else knows about this Mona because you should have told me right after you told your mom?" Mike asked

"I told Hanna because she is my best friend and Aria because she is your sister." Mona said

"If you told Aria then why didn't she tell me?" Mike asked

"Because I told her not to tell you." Mona said

"How much longer did you plan on staying in Hawaii without telling me Mona?" Mike asked

"I originally planed on coming home almost 3 months ago right after I graduated University of Hawaii but then my grandma was really sick." Mona said

"You should have let me be there for you because I would have been in Hawaii as soon as I graduated from Rosewood Community College." Mike said

"Aria said you were thinking about taking summer classes at Hollis and I didn't want you to not take them because of me." Mona said

"Well I ended up just graduating RCC with a 2 year degree and leaving things like that." Mike said

"I guess I should tell you that we are having a girl since Aria and my mom already know." Mona said

"Again, another thing you should have told me before anyone else." Mike said

"I'm sorry but I wasn't sure how you were going to react with all this and I needed to tell someone that I knew wouldn't get mad at me." Mona said

"I'm not mad at you because we have been in a long distance relationship for awhile but now that distance isn't between us please don't keep anymore secrets from me." Mike said


Mike walked out of his room and I tried walking away before he saw me.

"How could you know Mona was pregnant and not tell me?" Mike asked

"I'm sorry Mike but I was only doing what Mona wanted me to do." I said

"I don't care what Mona wanted, you are my sister and you should have told me even if she didn't want you to." Mike yelled

"Let's not fight about this right now." I said

"Then I suggest you leave or we are going to fight." Mike yelled


General POV

Aria left the house with Leo but Jayde was still here because she fell asleep and Aria didn't want to wake her up.

"You didn't have to yell at your sister like that." Mona said

"I'm sorry if you think I got a little to upset at her." Mike said

"At least you are not mad at me." Mona said

"Actually I kind of am mad at you but I am more upset with my sister." Mike said

"Do you still want me to stay the night?" Mona asked

"Yes." Mike said

Since Mona didn't drive over here and Jayde was sleeping, Mona called her mom to bring her an overnight bag.

"Mommy? "Jayde called out when she woke up.

"Your mom isn't here right now but what is wrong?" Mona asked

"I had a bad dream and some guy that I think was supposed to be my daddy was in the dream." Jayde said

"Do you want to see a picture of your daddy and then you can tell me if that was him in your dream?" Mona asked

"Yes." Jayde said

Mona showed Jayde a picture of Aria, Ezra, herself, and Mike on a double date from 5 years ago.

"No, that wasn't who was in my dream." Jayde said

"Maybe that's a good thing since you said it was a bad dream." Mona said

"But I don't want this guy to hurt mommy and I." Jayde said

"No one is going to hurt you Jayde. It was only a dream." Mona said

"Good because in my dream he hurt mommy bad and she was in the hospital and then he took me far away and said he was going to hurt me just like he hurt mommy." Jayde said

"Jayde that's not your dad, I promise you that isn't him. Your dad hurt your mom emotionally but never physically." Mona said


Thoughts on this chapter?

Who do you think is the guy in Jayde's nightmare? I have 2 characters in my mind but I'm not even sure if this will be a storyline for Jayde or not.

Next chapter is going to be August. Probably more Spoby (Maybe drama or maybe not) and Rochelle's 3rd birthday.

Thank you for reading. Reviewing would be great as well.
