A few months have passed and Aria has somehow managed to keep her secret about the baby. She was almost spending all her time with Ezra as how he was able to take her to her doctor appointments and such. Her parents have decided that it would be best for them to get a divorce and have been very cooperative about it all. Her parents haven't notice any difference in her behavior considering the fact that her mom was always too busy with finding a way to keep her family afloat and her dad was busy trying to find a place to live until something better comes along. The only people that seemed to notice what was going on was Emily, Spencer and Hanna. One day during lunch, Hanna said "Aria, you've sure been acting weird. And you've also been eating more and more."

"Yeah, and your clothes have gotten bigger and bigger. Is there something wrong?" Emily asked.

"No, there's nothing wrong." Aria answered quickly.

"Are you sure Aria, you've been acting strange these past months." Spencer said.

"I'm positive that I'm ok. It's just that the divorce is starting to take a strain on everybody." Aria lied. She couldn't tell them that it was because of the baby. Ever since Ezra found out about it, he's taken extra precaution with her. He made sure that she got to all her appointments; she got all the nutrients needed and made her rest any chance that she could get. It started to get on her nerves about how she pretty much couldn't do anything. She knew that he was just worrying, but sometimes she wish that he would give her some space. One thing that made Aria feel kinda better was that she hasn't gotten any messages from A. But that also made her worry even more. Knowing that she wasn't doing the usual thing meant to her that she was planning something. "So, has anyone else been getting text messages from A?" Emily asked.

"Yeah, I wish that she would give it a break. The constant messages are starting to fill up my inbox. I say that we reblock her." Hanna said.

"But remember what happened last time we blocked her? She still managed to get to us." Spencer said. Aria didn't say anything because she was distracted by Ezra walking into the cafeteria. He noticed her staring at him and smiled at her. She looked down and blushed. Emily noticed this and didn't say anything. The bell rang signaling that lunch was over and they all got up. "Well, I'll see you all after school. If anything happens that deals with A, text immediately." Spencer told the others. They parted ways and headed off to their classes. As Aria was walking along to her chemistry class, she spotted Ezra talking to another teacher. She slowed down and waited until he was finished and started walking towards her. "Hey, meet me in my classroom after school ok?" he asked her when they were within ear shot of each other.

"Ok. Besides, I have something for you." Aria said with a small smile. The other day while she was out shopping, she passed by a book store and decided to take a look around. While she was looking, she came across a poetry book that just screamed Ezra. She bought the book knowing that he would absolutly love it. So she bought it and it was currently resting in her bag, waiting to be opened. "Should I be worried?" "No. You'll like it. But now I have to get to class before I'm late. I'll see you later."

All during chemistry, Aria was off in lala land.

"Aria, Aria, ARIA!" the teacher yelled.

"Huh, yes?" she asked.

"What is the answer to question twelve?" She looked down and had no idea what it was.

"Letter B?"

"No, it's not. I have no idea where you have been these past few months. Now, as I was saying..." the teacher went on while Aria thought Man, that's the fourth time I've been called out about going off into daydream land. I just want this to get over soon. The rest of class went on as usual and Aria made sure to pay attention. The bell rang and Aria quickly packed and left. "Hey Aria, wait up!" yelled Emily. She turned around and saw Emily running to catch up with her.

"You took off like someone was after you Aria. Are you ok?"

"Yeah, its just that I've distracted lately."

"Oh. Are you sure your ok? You've seemed to have changed alot lately."

"Really? I haven't notice." Aria said in somewhat of a calm voice,

"Its just the divorce thats going on. Dad said that he doesn't want anything to do with us. It's really taken a toll."

"Ouch, I don't know what I would do if my dad ever did that. I'm sorry." Emily said. Thank God she bought that. I seriously need to work on hiding my feelings. At least chemistry's my last class. Now I can go hang out with Ezra. Aria thought as Emily was talking to her. "So, who are you taking to homecoming?"

"Noone. I'm not going. You know how I am about dances. I don't really like being out in public and things like that." The real reason why she didn't want to go was because she couldn't take her english teacher and that she was starting to show.

"But Aria, you have to go. I want you to see who I'm going to be with."

"It's toby. You've been talking to him non-stop and its ok by me about it. I'm happy that you found somebody."

"Thanks Aria. Now I don't have to worry about you not knowing." "Yeah, well, I have to go. I'll talk to you later, k?"

"Sure. Later." Aria continued down the hall until she reached the all too familar classroom. She quickly slid in and shut and locked the door.

"Hey" Ezra said.

"Hey. How was your day?" Aria asked.

"Long and fun as usual. What about you?"

"The same as always. Plus, the morning sickness has come back with a vengence." Aria said. One of the things that she hadn't expected fromt the pregnancy was the morning sickness. When she talked to her doctor about it, she said that it wouldn't really go away until the baby was born. Sometimes it would be worse than usual and if it were, to take anti-nausia pill and to rest until it passes.

"Ouch, you remember what the doctor said when that happened right?" Ezra asked. He's seen what she was like when the morning sickness hits and he feels like that it's his fault that she's going through this.

"Yeah, to take an anti-nausia pill and lay down." she answered. She knew that he would ask because he's been worried about her and how she's taking care of herself when she's not with him.

"Yup. If you want, you can come stay with me for awhile until it passes." Ezra offered. He had noticed that Aria was at his apartment more and more as her parents divorce started to get rough. He didn't much because it meant that he got see her more and more. He also noticed how relaxed Aria would get when she was anywhere but her home. "How worse is it getting at your house?" he asked.

"Dad called and told me and my brother that he doesn't want anything to do with us because of mom. It nearly tore my brother apart and mom acted like she didn't care. I have no idea how or why she's acting like this." Aria said. It was about to personally tear her apart as well because she felt betrayed by her dad after keeping his secret safe. "Besides, aren't you wondering what the surprise is?" she asked.

"I've been wondering about it all day. Is it something that has to deal with the baby?" he asked.

"Well, it depends on how you use it." she answered as she pulled out the book. He looked surprised as she handed it to him. "I saw it while I was out the other day and thought that you would like it." I hope he likes it. He did say that he likes poetry. She watched him as he opened the book and looked at a few poems.

"Aria, this is the best gift that I could've gotten. I don't even have this on. Did you know that it was part of a collection?" he asked. He really liked the gift and how Aria seemed to make him smile at the simple things that she did for him. "How about we leave here and head back to my apartment so we can look through this together. Besides, I think that you need to rest now." They left and headed back to Ezra apartment. She was really grateful that he was letting her come and stay as long as she needed too. If it wasn't for him, Aria would've cracked along time ago. Sometime during the ride to the apartment, Aria fell asleep. When they got there, Ezra carried her up the stairs and into his apartment and laid her on the bed so she could be more comfortable. Aria was so deeply asleep that she didn't feel her phone vibrate in her pocket.

Aria, your secret's getting bigger and bigger.

-A.
