Aria
"Mama, You home" My little three-year old son said as he came running down the stairs
"Yes, Baby I'm here" I told him as I picked him up and gave him a kiss
"Aria, his been waiting for you, for a while now" Grandma Grace said as she took a seat next to grandpa paul.
"Well if I had known you'll be coming tonight, I would have stay home." I said sitting down across from them.
"Who, was that young man I saw just a few moments ago" Paul asked
"That was the love of my life, but I didn't tell him that I have a child." I told grandpa. "But I did manage to tell him that I have a trust fund."
"What did he say," My grandparents asked just has my son, came back in the room and sat on my lap
"He, well he kind of freaked out a little and but also said that he loves me for me, and doesn't care about the money, he also asked me to marry him tonight, and I told him I can't" I said as tears ran down my face for the third time today.
"Mama, why you cry" I son asked me
"It's nothing baby, why don't you go see what Uncle Mike is doing"
"Okay" he replied.
"Aria," My grandpa spoke "It sound's like Ezra, does love you for who you are and if you want to marry him, you should go for it. Live your life to the fullest and don't look back in the past. Always look what the future holds.
"You'r grandfathers right, Aria" my mom said walking into the living room
"You knew he was going to purpose, didn't you?"I asked my mom as she took a seat on the arm of the chair next to me
"Yeah, He asked your father and I for permission, It took us a while before we said yes. But you should have heard the way he sounded when we told him, we will give him our blessings.
"You should have told me mom, how could you keep something like this from me." I asked getting really upset, she knows what I'm going through and she keeps something as big as that from me.
"Aria, You'r father and I have told you for so long to tell him what was going on. And every time you kept telling us, it's not the right time." Ella Spat... she was not taking the blame for something that everyone was telling her to do.
"I know mom and I'm sorry, I was going to tell him tonight but, you called and told me to come home." I said
"Look, I'm going to put Johnathan to bed and I'll see everyone in the morning I just need time to think okay." I said and went up stairs this was a long night. i guess I have to tell him tomorrow.
Ezra... Few hours later
I can't help but think everything things are going to change, Aria is rich but that didn't matter, and after talking to spencer about what happen tonight she really helped me clear some things up. Although she explained the life that comes with having money, I couldn't help but think that's not all she wanted to tell me.
I've called and text Aria for the last hour and she has not answered to text me back, But when I took her home things did look a little off. I hope she's alright.
The following morning I woke up to a loud knock on my door, Ugh... I thought as I pulled myself together and got up to answer it, if it's hardy I'm going to slap the shit out of him, he's the only one I know that knock's like that.
"Aria,"
"hey Ezra, Can you take a walk with me please," She asked with so much concern and worried written all over her face.
"Sure, just let me get ready and then we can go okay" I replied and opened the door so she could come inside. And I could get ready, fifteen minutes later we were out the door and walking to the nearby park, and found a bench to sit on under the tree next to the playground. Not many kids out today.
Aria...
We made our way to the park and sat down near the playground, I had to admit I was scared. What if he ask's me who the father is, do I tell him the truth, that I had a fling the summer Alison went missing. So many thought's was going through my head. I'm just hoping for the best. Before I left home I promised myself I wasn't going to cry today. So here goes nothing.
"Ezra, there's something I have to tell you." I said as I turned to look into his eye's
"Aria, you can tell me anything and you know that," He said and took hold of my hands and gave it a soft kiss. "And for the record, she also told me what you had planned on doing with that money and I have to say I am so, so proud of you Aria, giving millions away to people in need,"
"Well, thank you" I replied and took my hand's out of his, and I saw him frown.
"So what do you want to tell me"He asked, Here goes nothing
"Ezra, The summer that Alison went missing, just before my family and I moved to Iceland. I had a fling, I was so depress and I couldn't think straight.
"So what are you saying?" Ezra asked with worry and confusion, in his eyes I just wanted to cry all over again.
"I'm saying, the year I went to Iceland I had a baby boy." I told him and a lone tear fell down my cheek. So much for not crying. "That fling or one night stand as people may call it, turned out into me getting pregnant." At this point Ezra stood up and starting pacing around in circles.
"Why didn't you tell me this Aria?," Ezra said anger in him voice " how could you keep something like that from me".
"Ezra, I wanted to tell you, but how do you tell someone something life changing like this," I spat at him.
"This is what Spencer, been keeping from me isn't it." He yelled
"Yes, But there's more and I think you need to sit down." I told him. After he shook his head and sat down, he looked me in the eyes and say "okay" I continued
"Look, I was only 15 when I got pregnant and everything was just too much for me to handle, so my grandparents, took care of him for me. I know it makes me look like a bad mother. But with all the stuff that went down with my dad having the affair and Alison going missing my head wasn't on straight so I said okay. I got to visit him every summer, and on holidays, and such" I told him
"Is that were you and Spencer went, when you weren't in rosewood" he asked in a soft toned voice.
"yes, Ezra it is" I told him with a smile, just the thought of seeing my son brings me happiness
"And I'm guessing that, Hanna and Emily doesn't know about this."
I just nodded
"Aria, I love you so much that it breaks my heart that you couldn't tell me this,"
" I wanted to Ezra and I'm sorry," I said
"Where is he now," Ezra asked as he looked toward the playground and saw all the other kids, playing with their parents
"With Spencer, she wanted some aunty time with him." I told him "I'm really sorry, Ezra and I understand if you never want to see or talk to me again. But I just had to tell you" I told him getting up from my spot on the chair. I started to walk away but, Ezra got up from his spot and pulled me into a kiss, it was full of give and take, passion and love and I couldn't stop myself from smiling into it. When we pulled away, we looked into each others eyes and I knew, Why I loved this man...
"Aria, like I said I love you and nothing you just said to me change's that okay,"
"I love you too, Ezra" I told him just as I was about to kiss him again I looked over his shoulder and saw, Spencer walking toward us. " Would you like to meet my son" I asked and gave him a quick kiss after he nodded yes." Turn around".
This chapter didn't turn out the way that I wanted it too, I'm sorry. Thank you for all the reviews, and yes most of you got it right Aria does have a Child, Any guesses on who I'm making the Father? Have a good weekend everyone.
