Chapter 50:

Aria's POV:

I'm in the bath and I hear my husband and children enter the house.

Ezra: Aria, I'm home.

Aria: I'm in the bath.

Jade: Daddy, can I go and play in my room?

Ezra: Of course, you don't need to ask.

I hear Jade go up the stairs and into her room.

Ezra bring Oliver into our room. He then brings him and Oliver into the bathroom where I am having a very relaxing bubble bath.

Aria: Hey babe.

Ezra: Hey.

Aria: Thanks for the fruit.

Ezra: Anything for you.

Ezra tries to kiss my, but u get a handful of bubbles and smash them in his face.

Aria: Come here.

I pull down Ezra's neck and smack our lips together. Ezra breaks and then turns to our sleeping son.

Ezra: I'm going to put him down in his crib.

Aria: Ok.

Ezra leaves and comes back empty handed into our room. I'm sitting on our bed with a white towel wrapped around me.

Aria: Ezra can you get out the hair dryer please.

Ezra: Sure.

Ezra gets out the dryer and plugs it in, ready for me. I slip on some leggings and a white vest and then dry my hair.

Ezra's POV:

After Aria has dried her hair, I out the dryer away and then lay on the bed with her.

Ezra: Aria, you know that Nicole Tanner Girl.

Aria: Yeah.

Ezra: Well, it turns out that she was dating your brother.

Aria: She what!

Ezra: When I was with your mom earlier, I asked if Mike had found love, and then it all revealed itself.

Aria: God, is he going to confront her?

Ezra: I think so.

Aria: I knew she was trouble.

Ezra: Hmm. I'm gonna get Jade to make a mini pizza for her dinner, you want some?

Aria: Yeah, let's go.

I go down stairs with Aria following me with Jade.

Aria: Right, what do you want on your pizza?

Jade: Ham and olives.

Aria: Ok. If daddy is kind enough, maybe he can pop down to the store to get a can of black olives?

Ezra: Of course.

I go to the store and park the car. I find the black olives and then I go to pay.

Cashier: That will be $1 please.

Ezra: Here you go.

I pay for the olives and drive home.

Aria: Hey. Did you get them?

Ezra: Yeah.

Aria's POV:

Ezra passes me the olives and I open the. We finished putting toppings on all our pizzas and Ezra puts them in the oven.

Jade: Are they ready yet?

Aria: No. They have to stay in the oven for 30 minutes.

We've eaten out pizzas and we are now in bed.

Ezra: Aria, do you know how much I love you.

Aria: Why is it that we always lay in bed, stare at the ceiling and you start a conversation with that sort of sentence?

Ezra: I don't know.

Aria: Anyway, I love you so much. I couldn't ask for a better husband.

Ezra: It's our 3 year wedding anniversary in January.

Aria: I know.

Ezra: What month is it?

Aria: November.

Ezra: Aria.

Aria: Ezra.

Ezra: Goodnight.

Aria: Goodnight.

Once again, we fall asleep in our usual position. I go to work the next day and it pans out like any other day.

Student 1: , is it true that you gave birth in this room?

Aria: Yes it is. Get on with your work.

Student 2: Is it true that your baby wasn't breathing when it was born?

Aria: Right. I don't see what any of my personal life has to do with you. But if you must know, I gave birth to my son in this room, he wasn't breathing due to the cord being wrapped around his neck. He was ok in the end.

Ezra's POV:

It's the end of work and I meet Mike round the back of Hollis before he confronts Nicole.

Mike: Have you got it?

Ezra: Yeah. Just go and wait in my office.

I direct Mike to my office and then I find Nicole's last class. At the end I ask her to come to my office.

Nicole: Why am I hear . Are you going back in that offer I made?

Mike steps out so he is in sight.

Mike: Do it is true. You've been trying to get it in with my brother in law?!

Nicole: Brother in law! If I knew, I would never have done it?

Mike: So you would have done it if he wasn't.

Nicole: No. Mikey, that's not what I'm saying.

Mike: Its exactly what your saying. How many other guys have you tried to come onto?

Nicole: None. Apart form Brad, Charlie, Jack…

Mike: You know what, you're a slut! You didn't care about me or anyone!

Nicole: You don't mean that!

Mike: Yes I do. It's over!

Nicole leaves in floods of tears.

Aria: You ok?

Mike: Yeah, I didn't think she would do something like that!

Ezra: Come on, I'm taking you home.

Mike: No. I'm too angry.

Aria: Mike please.

Mike grabs his coat and storms out.

Aria: Mike wait.

Aria's:

I try to chase after my brother, but I'm stopped by Ezra.

Ezra: He needs to deal with this in his own. He'll be ok.

Aria: I hope so.

Me and Ezra drive home. It's Friday so the kids are with my mom.

Ezra: You ok?

Aria: Yeah, I'm fine.

Ezra: Ok.

We are now at home and we are sitting on the couch, watching t.v. My phone rings, it's Toby. I get up and leave the room.

Aria: Toby?

Toby sounds like he's crying.

Aria: Toby, what's wrong?

Toby: It's Spencer. She's had a miscarriage.

I feel a single tear come out of my eye and roll down my pale cheek.

Aria: I'm so sorry.

Toby: Spencer told me to tell you.

Aria: Do you want me to come over?

Toby: No. We will be ok. Spencer's sleeping at the moment.

Aria: Well, when she wakes up tell her I'll come see her and that I love her.

Toby: Ok.

I end the call and return to the couch. My eyes are a little red from where more tears spelled out.

Ezra: Aria, honey, what's wrong?

Aria: Spencer had a miscarriage.
