Authors note: Hi readers. I'm afraid to say I won't be carrying on with this fanfic. I have a few more chapters written ready to upload, but i have, it's seems silly to carry on. i work full time and go to evening college so seriously lack time which doesn't usually bother me, but due to the lack or followers and reviews, it doesn't seem worth carrying on as it feels Like no one is actually reading. If they pick up before my last chapter gets published however, of course I will change my mind. I really hope you all enjoy this chapter xo


By the time I reached twenty weeks, pregnancy was already tiring me out. My baby bump was showing, but small enough to hide for a bit longer with baggy tops. A had been relatively quiet, too quiet almost, but that wasn't worrying me. I decided that after my next scan, after I found out if baby Fitz would be pink or blue, I'd have to speak to my parents. I couldn't hide it much longer. Besides, I needed my mom. I counted down the days with both terror and glee and before long, the day was here.

I stood outside the surgery waiting patiently with all of the girls. We had a day off school and although Ezra was coming to the scan with me, to see his baby for the first time, I had to meet him there and the girls wouldn't let me wait alone. "I am so so excited!" Hanna beamed!

"I know. It's like the most exciting thing ever!" Spencer cooed along. "How are you feeling, Aria?"

"Nervous, scared, excited." I paused. "I've never been filled with so many emotions in my whole entire life. I'm telling my parents, tonight." The girls faces all shot at me, their eyes fixed on my face.

"Really?" Emily gasped. "Is Ezra going to break the news with you?"

"No, no, no! The fact that their teenage daughter is having a child is going to be a shocker enough as it is. I will tell them, but I want to give them time to adjust and cool down before they prevent Ezra from ever having children again."

"How do you think they will take it?" Spence asked curiously.

"I don't know... Could go either way I guess." With that Ezra's car pulled into the car park and we watched as he parked and made his way per to us.

"Hey girls, Aria," he smiled at me as he took me in for a hug. "Is it time for me to meet my baby now?" I smiled before taking his hand.

"We'll see you in a bit girls." As we turned and made our way into the surgery, like a proper family, no one could ever guess our little secret.

Sat in the waiting room was a different experience all together from when I was there a whole 10 weeks ago, when I was petrified at my newly received news. This time, it felt right. I watched other pregnant ladies around me, reading baby magazines and books, their hand lovingly on their bump. I felt like one of them now. Not a young teenager who was facing her worse nightmare. Even the horrible smell didnt bother me. I glanced at Ezra. His face too was glancing around the room at all the faces surrounding ours. He didn't seem so calm. "Aria?" I looked up at the familiar voice to see Dr James smiling back at me and stood up, patting Ezra's shoulder gently encouraging him to follow me.

As we entered the room, Dr James closed the door gently behind us. "Aria, you're looking well! Would you like to hop up onto the bed for me?" I nodded appreciatively at the comment all though I had felt anything but well in the last few weeks, and hopped onto the bed. Dr James then turned his attention to Ezra and he extended out his hand to shake Ezra's. "And you must be dad! I'm James."

"Ezra Fitz." Ezra's voice was dry and croaky and his nerves were evident.

"Pleasure to meet you! If you'd like to take a seat next to Aria, ill show you guys your baby! Are you wanting to find out the sex?" I shot a glance at Ezra, realising that although I'd thought about discovering the sex for weeks, I hadn't actually asked him if he'd like to know. I just assumed that we would. His eyes met mine.

"Would you like to know, Ezra?" I asked. My voice quiet. His eyes sparkled as he nodded at me. "We'd love to know, Dr James."

"Let's take a look then!" Dr James went on to ask how I'd been feeling while popping the cold gel on my bloated looking stomach. Before long our baby was on the screen. Ezra shed a tear. "If you look here;" Dr James pointed at the image, "you can see your babies little legs, here's it's arms, look, waving at you, she's waving at you." Dr James smiled at us.

"It's... It's a she?" Ezra asked in awe before turning to me, "Aria, we're having a baby girl. A little baby girl." I was lost for words. At that moment, my heart was so filled with love for someone who wasn't even here yet. I was having a little baby girl. After finishing up our checkout and getting copies of the scan for each of the girls and my parents, we left the surgery hand in hand.

"Aria!" The girls shouted as they gained sight of us.

"Well?" Hanna asked, beady eyed.

"Shall I tell them or would you like too?" I asked Ezra.

"They're your friends, ill leave you do the honours, ill leave you to it though, I have marking to do before tomorrow. Bye babe," Ezra kisses my forehead softly. "Bye girls!" After watching him drive off I drew my attention to my best friends.

"I'm having a baby girl!" The girls gasped in tandem, clearly as happy with the news as I was.

The girls walked me home, hand in hand, united as one. The girls chatted all the way home about my little girl. The baby that they were so excited to welcome into the world. I was too. Although realising that it as time to spill the news to my parents had finally sunk in. How could they possibly be happy for me? I hoped and prayed they would but the closer I got to telling them I realised it was virtually in possible. I was their baby girl and now I was having a baby girl of my own. If I had told them right at the beginning they probably would have made me abort it but now it was too late. I was carrying an actual baby with fingers and toes. They couldn't make me kill it. "Aria?" I looked up to see Spencer watching me. "Aria are you ok? We're here."

"Oh." This was it. It was time. "Yeah, I'm fine." I lied.

"Would you like us to come in with you? Help break the news?" Emily asked.

"Thanks Em, but I think this is something I just have to do myself. The girls hugged me one by one before saying their goodbyes. As they walked off and left me Hanna turned around, "let us know how it goes!"

"I will." I turned around and walked up to my front door, letting myself in.

"Mom? Dad?"

"In here sweetie!" I heard mums voice from the kitchen. Great. She was in a good mood. I followed the voice to find them sat around the island.

"Hey," I greeted them as I sat down opposite them.

"How was your day?" Dad asked.

"It was... Good. Actually I was needing to talk to you guys about something."

"Go ahead. You know you can talk to us about anything!"

"Yeah I know. But this is hard. Very hard. Please promise me you won't both hate me?" They looked at each other suspiciously.

"Aria, hunny, what's wrong? Have you failed an exam or something? Got yourself into trouble."

"It's a little more serious than that." I shuffled my hand around my bag before fishing out the scan picture which I placed on the table between them. Their eyes fixed on my baby and they were both speechless. "Surprise!" Surprise? I actually said surprise. It was dad who spoke first.

"Aria, I don't understand."

"Ok. Well, I'm pregnant. 20 weeks to be precise." They were surprisingly calm considering.

"You what?" Moms voice raised. Yep. There is the reaction I expected. "Aria, you bloody well not be! You're a child! You don't even have a boyfriend!" Oh, that was my cue.

"Actually... I do."

"Then why didn't you tell us? How long have you been together? Did he force himself on you?"

"NO! Mom how can you even say that? He loves me and I love him and that is ALL that matters. Not age."

"So you're planning on keeping it?" Dad spoke this time.

"Yes, Dad, it's my baby, I can't get rid of it. "

"Aria. Who is the dad?"

"It's... It's..."

"For god sake just spit it out!"

"Ezra... Ezra Fitz." The colour drained from Moms face. Her eyes filled with tears. Dad pushed his seat away from the island while slamming his fists against the surface. It was then my tears came. "Please dad, don't do anything stupid!"

"STUPID!" He shouted. "Aria, ill tell you what's 'stupid,' getting into a relationship with your student, a child, and then knocking her up! Now, I am going to the police and then to the school and then I'm going to sort this mess out!" He gestured to my stomach.

"I hate you both!" I cried. "For the first time in so long I'm happy. I know this is going to be hard but were in love, and we love OUR baby already. You two are prepared to mess all that up for me? In case you can't tell, I'm going through a lot of the moment and if either of you really, truly cared, you'd be their for me. And for your granddaughter!" With that I left the room and ran upstairs to my room slamming the door behind me and got into bed and cried.

I woke to a knock on the door and looked across to see my mum peeping through the gap. "Can I come in?" I nodded before sitting up in bed. "Aria, I'm so sorry. We're just shocked. Upset. You were right, you are going through a lot at the moment and we should be there for you." She wrapped her arms around me just like I had craved for her to do since I found out. "I'm here now, sweetie." Mum sat and listened as I told her how Ezra and I met. How we fell in love before we were aware of each others age. She understood. "Look, I can't promise your dad will come around so quickly, but you have me now, and well, I guess that's more than you've had for the last few weeks. I'm sorry I haven't been there for you."

"Mom, you weren't to know. I kept it to myself."

"No more secrets, Aria. I'll be here from now on." I nodded and hugged her tightly.

Mom smiled as I sat down for dinner that night, pleased that I'd left my room. Dad was still full of rage, and judging by Mikes face and behaviour I guessed they'd told him too. "Aria," dad spoke with a harsh tone. "I've decided I won't go to the police. I won't get him into trouble." I smiled.

"Thank you so much dad! That means the world to me!"

"Aria, let me finish. I won't get him into trouble under the condition that you stop seeing him and then when the baby is born, it gets given up to a proper family. Parents who will love it and be able to give it everything you can't. No buts either. This is how this will happen."
