Here's chapter eleven. Thanks for all the reviews and I would like to point out that at first I didn't know that Aria's little brothers name was, but now I know. As usual, I don't own anything.

She got back to the apartment and had just set her things down when Ezra walked in. "Hey, I waited for you but you never showed up." He said.

"I felt like taking a walk. It would best to get some exercise for the baby." Aria said looking down. She didn't know what to say or how to approach the subject of her seeing Ezra flirting with another girl. "Aria, is there something wrong? Is it your parents?" He asked. Ezra was getting worried that her parents apporached her and said something hurtful to her.

"No. It's not them. It's just that my friends are starting to suspect something. I'm worried about how they'll react when I decide to tell them. And I did show up, but you were talking to another student." Aria said. She looked up and saw that Ezra was surprised.

"You thought that something was going on between me and her? She was just asking about today's assignment." He said laughing.

"I thought that she was flirting with you. She was smiling and stuff." Aria said confused.

"She was smiling because she was starting to understand it. Don't worry about it." Aria was relieved because she was really afraid that he had moved on and that he wouldn't want to be around her anymore. "I have some really good news though." She just then felt another flutter. "Ezra, come here." She said. He walked over to her and she grabbed his hand. He was very confused about what she was doing until he felt the push. Ezra had the biggest grin on his face when he felt the baby move.

"Was that the baby kicking?" he asked in awe. He had never felt a baby move around before, and to him it's the most wonderful feeling in the world.

"No, that was the baby's heart beat." He was really surprised about it. He bent down to Aria's stomach and said, "Hey there little fella. Now, no giving mommy any more trouble ok? She's a really nice person that's going through some hard times. Remember that we both love you little fella." Aria looked at him with a look that just yelled love.

"That's the first time you talked to the baby I think." She said.

"It is. I was just waiting until the baby started moving around." He said softly. Aria's phone started vibrating with a call from Emily.

"Aria?"

"Yeah? What's wrong Emily?"

"Nothing's wrong Aria, the others and I are going to meet up at The Grill. You should come."

"Sure, what time?"

"Around seven. Hanna wants to make sure that we're all going to the dance."

"Oh ok, I'll see you all there."

Aria hung up and saw that Ezra was looking at her. "That was Emily. She and the others are meeting up at The Grill. They want to talk about homecoming stuff." Aria said.

"Well, you should go. You're going to have fun with your friends." Ezra said.

What Aria didn't know was that her friends were going to interrogate her until she told them what was going on with her. When she got there at seven, she saw the others were laughing and having a good time. Here goes nothing. Aria thought. "Hey guys. What's going on?" she said when she got to their table.

"Nothing much, what about you?" Emily said.

"I'm doing good, just had a long day at school." Aria said.

"Yeah, we noticed. So what's going on Aria? You've been acting strange these past few months. And what's with your parents hating you?" Spencer asked.

"Aria, what's going on?" Hanna asked. Aria knew she wouldn't be able to get out of this one easily so, she decided to tell them some of what was happening.

"Ok guys. You the new English teacher Mr. Fitz right?"

"Yeah, what about him?" Hanna asked.

"Well, I met him when I got back and we're kind a together." Aria said. Emily, Hanna and Spencer's mouth's dropped. They couldn't believe their ears. They just stared at her.

"You're dating Mr. Fitz?" Emily asked.

"No way, seriously?" Hanna asked.

"Yeah. I knew that you guys would react like this." Aria said looking down.

"Aria, don't you know that's dangerous? If you two get caught, he's going to go to jail and you'll most likely get sent to the crazy farm for psychological therapy." Hanna said.

"We haven't been caught yet. We're being very careful about how we are out in public. And if you guys call the police about it, I'll never forgive you." Aria said. She couldn't believe that her friends were reacting this way. They did say themselves that they're going to be there for her and each other. "Remember what you guys said about being there for each other? You said that no matter what, you'll help." Aria said. She knew that they remembered their comitment and wanted to be there for her. "Guys, please don't tell anyone. Don't tell your parents. They would call the police and then it would be alot worse." Aria pleaded. She didn't want her baby's father to go to prison for loving her the same way that she loves him.

"Aria, we promise that we won't tell anyone. As long as your happy, then we're happy." Emily said.

"Ok, to get away from this subject, who's all going to the homecoming dance? If you are, then we need to go find dresses and such." Hanna said, trying lighten up everyone's mood.

"Yeah, I'm going. It's going to be my first offical date with Alex." Spencer said.

"Alex? Isn't he the tennis court guy from that club you're a member of?" Hanna asked.

"Yes he is. He won't know anyboby here so please make him feel welcome." Spencer said.

"Are you going Emily?" "I don't know guys. I might bring a friend of mine." Emily said.

"Really? Who is it?" Aria asked.

"It's a friend of mine. He's really nice."

"What about you Aria? Are you going?" Hanna asked.

"I don't think so guys. I'm not that into dances guys." Aria said.

"But Mr. Fitz will be there working. I know that you would probably want to see him in a suit." Spencer said. Spencer was at the head of the committiee and knew which teachers where working it and weren't. "Come on Aria, do it for Mr. Fitz. I know that he'll love to see you all dressed up." Spencer said.

"Well, I guess that I could go, but I don't have a dress to wear and I can't get any money because of what happened." Aria said.

"Don't worry, we'll help you with that." Hanna said. The girls spent the rest of the evening enjoying themselves and having fun.

"Excuse me, which one of you is Emily?" asked a waitress.

"I am. Why?" Emily asked.

"Somebody left this for you." The waitress handed her a cd.

"That's really pretty. Who's it from?" Hanna asked. The others didn't know that Emily and Toby were friends.

"A friend." Emily said as she put the cd in her bag.

"Oh. That's really nice of your friend." Aria said. After dinner was over, the girls decided to go for a walk in the park. "So, has anybody else been getting text messages from A?" Hanna asked.

"Not really. It seems like A's left us alone." Emily said. What they didn't know was that A was currently tormenting Aria about her secret. She managed to tell them about her and Ezra, but she was afraid to tell them about her child. If they knew, then they would change their minds and i could've screwed everything up. She thought.

When she got back to the apartment, she found Ezra sleeping on the couch. "Ezra, wake up. I'm back." Aria said shaking him. As she's shaking him, he started laughing. "Why are you laughing?" she asked no one in particular. She finally gets him to wake up and they both head to bed. They both fell asleep and didn't notice Aria's phone vibrating with a new message.

Aria, how sad is that you can't even tell your friends for fear of rejection? It's time I tell them. Have fun explaining :)

- A.

There is chapter eleven. Hope you all enjoy. And as I said at the beginning of this, read and don't like, then don't flame. I know that it's not how the show goes and how Aria's parents are, but it's all part of my story line. Your going to have to read to find out if Aria's parents forgive her for her mistake.
