Here is chapter 16! Sorry for the lateness, but things have been crazy with trying to find a job and such. But thanks for all the reviews! You guys rock big time! As usual, I don't own anything.

The next morning found Ezra waking up to the smell of pecan pancakes and bacon. He looked up and saw that Aria was setting the table. "Aria, what are you doing up so early?" he asked. Aria looked at him and smiled.

"What do you mean waking up early? It's almost 8:30 in the morning." Aria told him. Ezra looked at her in alarm and jumped out of the bed and started running around trying to get dressed.

"I'm going to be late! And so are you, you're not even dressed for school?" he said in a hurry. Aria stood next to the table watching Ezra run around and started to laugh. He stopped and looked at her like she was crazy. "Aria, what's so funny?" he asked confused.

"Ezra, its Saturday. There's no school on Saturdays remember?" Aria stated. He looked at his calendar and saw that it was indeed, Saturday.

"Oh. So you didn't tell me why?"

"Because I was having fun watching you over react at something. It's funny and cute." Aria told him smiling. She could tell that he was now starting to relax from the surprise of her being up before him.

"Ok, but how are you feeling this morning? Last night didn't look to good." Ezra said. He was worried about her when she needed one of her pills last night.

"I'm better. I wish that the nausea would stop soon. You would think that at five months it would stop." Aria said while pouring Ezra a cup of coffee. Since that she was pregnant, she had to back off of a lot of things like caffeine and spicy foods. It took a toll on her because she used to be a coffee junkie. Now she's drinking juice and water and is watching what foods she can eat so that the baby can continue growing healthy and such. Some of the foods that she actually enjoyed eating was apples and bananas. "Now, do you want any pancakes and bacon before it gets cold?" Aria asked him.

"Yeah, it smells really good. Where do you get these recipes from?" he asked. He couldn't believe that she was this good of a cook.

"Some of them are from the internet while others are family recipes. These pancakes is actually my great grandmother's idea. She was really obessed with pecans. But she always made them taste really good." Aria told him while they were eating.

"Well, theses are really good. Points to your great grandmother." Ezra said after he got done chewing a peice of pancake. "So, I was thinking that after breakfast, we could go on a picnic at a park that i know."

"Is it out of town?" Aria asked. She knew that it would be dangerous for the two of them to hang out at the park with them because of the police and the detective.

"Yeah, it's a state park that's not far from here actually. You would like it alot." he told her before taking another bite of pancake.

"A state park? I've never been to one, so it would most likely be fun." Aria said with a smile. I've never been to a state park. I wonder what's it like. It must be fun to go somewhere like that and get a change of scenery. She thought. The two finished their meal and started to pack for the day trip.

"Remember to pack sunscreen and water. It's suppose to be in the high 80's today." Ezra said as he was getting a blanket down from the hall closet. Aria was busy packing the backpacks and the picnic basket with the items that they would need for today. Even though she didn't answer him, he knew that she had heard what he said by the slight tilt of her head. They finished packing and put everything in the trunk of Ezra's car. "Are you ready?" he asked when they left.

"I think so, if not, then the little store at the park could help." Aria replied looking at him. She could tell that he was excited that they were getting out of Rosewood and away from all the drama that was happening. I just hope that A doesn't spoil today. Aria thought.

The drive to the national park was easy and there wasn't much traffic. After they parked and unloaded, Ezra found a trail that's suppose to go to a lagoon. He knew that Aria had a thing for lagoons and thought that she would love it. "So, do you feel up to a hike?" he asked her.

"Sure, where does the trail go too?" She asked while she making sure that they got everything out of the car. When she looked up, she saw that Ezra had this big grin on his face. "Ok, what are you grinning at?" she asked.

"Nothing and I can't tell you where the trail leads. It's a surprise." He answered. Aria looked at him with a confused look on her face and she let it pass for now. They grabbed the basket and the backpacks and started on the trail. About halfway through, Ezra spotted a small herd of deer and stopped. Since the two were holding hands, Aria's arm jerked when Ezra stopped moving. "Aria, look over there." he said softly. She turned to look and saw the deer.

"Wow" she said softly. She had never seen wild deer before today. The only time she had ever seen deer was at the zoo when she was a kid. "They're beautiful." she breathed.

"Come on Aria, we better start moving again before they notice us. And it helps since we're up wind of them." Ezra said and started moving again. They continued on until at last, they came upon the lagoon. When Aria saw it, she was speachless. She has never seen a really lagoon before and it was the most beautiful one that she has ever seen. It had crystal clear water with willow trees surrounding it with some of the branches gently dipping in the water. To make the scene perfect, there was a babbling brooke flowing into the lagoon. Ezra looked down at her and was amazed by the look on her face. She had a look of wonder and amazement on her face and he could tell that she loved it. "Surprise. I knew that you would love it." He said. She looked up at him and gave him one of biggest smiles that he has ever seen.

Sorry to cut it off like this, but as I have said, it's been crazy at my house and I finally was able to finish the chapter. As usual, enjoy and let me know what you think!
