Thankyou so much for the awsome reviews that this story keeps on getting. Hope you enjoy this chapter and as usual, i don't own anything in this story.


The rest of the week went by in a flash and before anyone knew it, it was the weekend. "Man, I'm so glad that it's finally the weekend." Hanna said as school let out.

"Tell me about it. Now I don't have to worry about that essay for awhile." Spencer said.

"Easy for you to say Spence. I have to train for regionals next weekend." Emily said. Aria didn't say anything because all she could think about what was going to happen when she would go to Ezra's apartment. "Hey Aria, are you ok? You've been quiet all week. Ever since you went and talked to Mr. Fitz the other night, you've been almost a mute." Hanna said.

"Yeah I'm fine. Its just dad moved out of our house for awhile and mom's about to lose it." Aria told them. It was the truth because her mom was about to lose it from being so upset about her husband's affair.

"Ouch, that's gotta suck. I'm sorry about that." Hanna said.

"Yeah, I don't know what I would do if my parents decided to split." Emily said as they walked down the road towards their houses. The first house they reached was Spencer's and she bided them a goodbye and a good weekend. "Man, I can't believe how tight Spencer is about her essay. I know that she's going to get the award hands down." Hanna said.

"Yeah, she can be such a brainiac at times, but it's gonna be worth it for her." Emily agreed.

"I know. She just needs to unwind this weekend. Watch by Monday that she'll be back to normal." Aria said. The next house that the girls reached was Aria's. "Well, I'll see you guys on Monday." Aria told them.

"Yeah, see you then Aria." the other two said. Aria waved goodbye and headed into her house. "Mom? I'm home." she called out.

"Mom went out to the gallery for a little bit." her younger brother Jason called downstairs.

"Ok. Can you tell mom that I'm spending the night at Spencer's again? She agreed to help me with some math problems that I don't quite get." she said.

"No problem sis." Jason told her. Aria went upstairs and packed for the weekend. I need to go by the store so I can get some supplies for dinner. Aria thought to herself as she was packing. Once she finished, she headed downstairs with her overnight bag. "I'll see you later Jason. Please be good and lock the house after I leave." Aria told/asked.

"No problem sis. Have fun."

Aria left and made it to the store in record time. 'I know what I'm going to make, I just hope that the owners haven't decided to move things around.' Aria said . After she found everything that she was going to need for tonight, she then headed over to Ezra's with bags in her hands. She arrived outside the door to his apartment and knocked on the door. Here goes nothing. I hope he doesn't get mad. She pleaded silently. Ezra opened the door and the first thing she asked was, "Please tell me that you have a deep pot."

"Yeah, I do." he told her laughing, "Here, let me take some of those for you." They got inside the apartment and he gave her a gentle kiss on the lips. "I'm really glad that you could come. You had no trouble getting here did you?" he asked softly after the kiss.

"The only problem that I had was carrying these bags from the store over to here." she told him with a smile.

"Well here, lets put the bags away because I have an activity planned for us." Ezra told her. She looked up at him and couldn't believe how lucky she was that she was him even though it was really dangerous.

"Well, how long will it take because I want to try out a new recipe that I found online. Its called Jambalya. I heard from a friend that it's really good." Aria told him.

"That does sound good. If I'm not mistaken, its a southern recipe. They usually have some good recipes." he said while pulling out the required pots. "Doesn't it require some spices too?"

"It does. Thats what in these bags mostly. But I can lighten up on the spices so it doesn't burn our mouths. You can help if you want." Aria told him. She got the bags unpacked and filled one pot with rice while Ezra filled the other pot with sausage, ground meat and the required amount of spices that Aria measured. After they got the ingredients mixed and had the pot set to simmer, Ezra decided that it was time for the activity he had planned. As it turns out, the activity was a game of scrabble. While they were playing, Ezra looked up and noticed that Aria still had the locket that he gave her on.

"You haven't taken the locket off?" he asked.

"Why would I want to take it off? It's very beautiful and I love how my inital is written out in a honey suckle vine. Did you know that it's my favorite flower?" she asked.

"No I didn't. I'm glad that you like it though. It really suits you. And I believe that dinner's ready too."

"Yeah it is. Why don't you go fix us some plates while I clean the table off." Aria said. She got the table cleared off just in time as Ezra was bringing their food. The food turned out very good and they had a very good converstation. The only thing that Aria was worried about was that she was going tell him about the baby. After dinner was over, Aria said, "Ezra, I need to tell you something and you might want to sit down for this."

"Sure, whats wrong?" Ezra asked starting to get alittle worried. He had notice that during dinner Aria seemed to be off in a land of her own.

"Well, I don't know how to exactly say this. But you remember the first night we shared?"

"How could I forget it? It was the best night of my life. I had all that I needed to be happy." he told her. And it was the truth, he had felt completed that night.

"Me too, it's just that something happened afterwards..." Aria trailed off.

"Don't worry. If there's anything wrong, I'll be there right beside you so your not facing it alone." When she heard him say that, she burst into tears and started apologizing like crazy. "Why are you apologizing? Nothing's wrong. Is there?" he asked getting even more worried.

"I'm pregnant Ezra." There was no words to describe the look on his face. He just sat there in shock staring at Aria. She had started to silently cry and looked down into her lap. Please say something. Anything, please. She pleaded silently. She looked up at him again.

"Aria, are you sure? I mean, there can be alot of mistakes."

"I'm sure. I took five tests and they all said possitive."

"Come here." He put his arms around her and they both cried until they fell asleep. Aria didn't even notice the text message that she had gotten.

Little, little Aria. You had to out do everyone. Now your secret is even bigger.

-A.


There it is. She told him her secret. Please review and tell me what your reactions were. By the way, I decided that Aria also liked to cook. Enjoy.
