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, Jackā¦
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.
