Here's chapter twelve. Enjoy and as usual, I don't own anything.

The next morning found Ezra watching Aria sleep. It was Saturday so they were able to sleep in and Ezra had a special day planned for the both of them. He looked down at her and thought that she was the most beautiful thing in the world. He softly laid his hand on her stomach, hoping to feel the baby's heartbeat again. Aria's hand moved to cover his and she smiled in her sleep. Her phone was vibrating on the bedside table and he looked over at it and saw that it was two new messages. One was from Hanna asking Aria to go to the mall with her to pick out a homecoming dress and the other was from A. Ezra couldn't believe that A was still messing with Aria. He knew that he couldn't do anything without risking both Aria and himself. He put her phone back down and gently shook Aria awake. Unlike him, it only took a few seconds before Aria woke up. "Good morning." She said smiling. She noticed that he seemed kind of mad and asked, "What's wrong?" she asked.

"Your phone was vibrating and I looked to see who it was." he answered. He looked upset because of what the message said. "Aria, did you tell anyone about us?" he asked. He looked at her and she looked down.

"Please don't get mad. I told my friends about us, but I didn't tell them about the baby." she answered.

"Well, what it seems like to me is that this "A", is going to tell them." he told her. She looked up in shock and reached over to grab her phone. When she read the message, she fell back onto the bed. "Why do I always have to be so stupid about stuff like this?" Aria ranted, "I should've told them last night while I had the chance. Now A's going to tell them and they're going to hate me for not telling them. It's all my fault that for this mess,…"

"Aria," Ezra started. She didn't hear him and continued ranting,

"If they find out, then they'll tell the police and get him thrown in jail. Oh sure, they were all cool about me dating him, but-" Ezra got her attention by leaning down and kissing her, silencing the rant. When he leaned up, she looked at him in surprise.

"What was that for?" she asked surprised.

"It was to get you to stop ranting. I was afraid that you were going to have a panic attack. And that's the last thing you need. Why don't you call your friends and tell them to come here? That way you can tell them before they find out?" Ezra asked. Aria was very hesitant about having her friends come here because they would most likely be nervous about being at a teacher's home. But if I don't tell them, then A's going to. I'll do it only if Ezra's here. Aria thought.

"I'll do it only if you're here. I really don't want to do this alone." Aria said.

"Alright, I'll stay here with you. Besides, we need to clean up before your friends come." Ezra said looking around the apartment. The two spent the entire morning cleaning the apartment after Aria called her friends. All of them said that they would come and it made Aria nervous. She wasn't expect them to be agreeing about coming. Around noon, there was a knock at the door and Aria froze. It's them. I hope that they won't over react when they see who it is going to answer the door. She thought as she watched Ezra open the door. She heard a gasp come from Hanna and a "Hello Mr. Fitz" from Spencer.

"Hello girls, how are you all today?" Mr. Fitz asked in a friendly voice.

"We're good. Thank you for asking." Emily said politely. They came in and saw Aria standing next to the couch looking at them with a nervous look on her face. "Hey Aria. So, this is where you're living now? It's very nice." Emily said. Aria nodded and Mr. Fitz closed the door.

"Aria, why don't you and your friends sit on the couch while I fix some snacks and drinks?" he asked. He went to the kitchen while they walked over to Aria and the couch.

"Come on guys, I have something to tell you and you might want to sit down for this." Aria said. They all sat down and looked at her.

"Aria, what's wrong? You look like your on death row." Spencer said.

"You have no idea how hard this is. Sometimes I wish I could go back in time and fix it." Aria said. Ezra set a tray of drinks down and sat next to Aria.

"Go on Aria. I'm right here." he told her softly. She looked at him gently and they could tell that they both love each other.

"So Aria, what's all this about?" Hanna asked.

"Yeah, what is this all about?" Spencer asked.

Aria looked at them square in the eye and said, "Guys, I'm pregnant." They all stared at her in shock. They couldn't believe what Aria just told them. "Guys, please say something." Aria pleaded. She looked very close to crying because they were just staring at her.

"Aria, are you sure?" Hanna asked. She was the first to come out of the stupor, followed by Spencer and Emily.

"Aria, why did you hide this from us?" Spencer asked. She couldn't believe that her friend was telling them that she was pregnant.

"Mr. Fitz, are you the baby's father?" Emily asked him. He nodded to her question and their jaws dropped. "Aria told us that you two were dating, but she didn't tell us about the baby or that she moved in with you." Emily said. Aria looked at her in surprise at how well she seemed to be taking it.

"No wonder you were very sick a few monthes ago." Hanna said. She was surprised, but she knew that her friend was entrusting her and the others with her secret.

"So, what would happen if anybody else finds out?" Spencer asked.

"Well, mom and dad know. But they don't know that the father is Mr. Fitz. If they found out, the police would arrest him." Aria said. She had a look on her face that said, you tell, I'll kill you.

"Don't worry Aria, we won't tell anyone. Does A know?" Emily asked.

"Yeah, she knows and was threatening to tell you guys." Aria said. She couldn't believe that they were this accepting about her child and that they weren't mad. Just then, Spencer's phone buzzed with a new message.

"Sorry, but I have to go. Dad wants to have some bonding time. I think mom put him up to it." Spencer said. She got up and left with the others telling her goodbye.

"Sorry to break it to you too, but I promised Sean that I would go help him pick a suit out for homecoming. So I'm going to have to split too." Hanna anounced. She got up and gave Aria a hug and a promise to call later, then left. Emily was the last one there.

"So, how long has your parents known?" Emily asked. She was very curious because she also wanted to tell Aria something.

"For awhile now. They don't talk to me anymore, so I lost track of time." Aria said. She noticed that Emily was starting to get figity and asked, "Emily, what's going on? You're all figity."

"Nothing. Well, do you promise not to tell the others?" she asked.

"I promise. Now what's going on?"

"Well, me and Toby are together." Emily said. Now it was Aria's turn to stare at her.

"Wow Emily, I never saw that one coming. How does he make you feel?" she asked.

"He makes me feel like a person. We both have alot of things in common. I just thought that I should tell you first because of how Hanna and Spencer would react." Emily said.

"Yeah, it was a good thing to tell me first." Aria agreed. They talked a little bit longer before Emily had to leave. Once everyone was gone, Aria turned to Ezra and said, "I guess that went good."

"That went good? They were shocked." he said.

"But they didn't get mad. I thought that they were going to ask me if I was crazy." Aria said.

"I think that your already crazy. Crazy for all this." Ezra said as he leaned down to kiss her. Aria bent her head up and her lips met his half way. They spent the rest of the afternoon making out and really enjoying the fact that the others were really accepting about the circumstances.

There's chapter twelve. Hope you like it and review.
