HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO IAN, THE BIRTHDAY MANN...

I HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH PRETTY LITTLE LIARS...

Aria...

I woke up early to find everyone still fast a sleep, Hardy is singing his own tone with his snoring. Ezra is just laughing away in his sleep. And little Johnathan well he really hasn't developed anything like the other two. But he's sound a sleep. So walking out of Johnathan's room and into the kitchen I put on a pot of coffee and head to the bathroom to take a quick shower.

Once I was done I glanced at the clock and notice it was close to 10. I still have a couple of hours before the fundraiser. I walked out of the bathroom and into the master bedroom. Still in my purple fluffy towel.

Giving Ezra a kiss on the cheek, I started to stroke his hair out of his face. "Ezra!" I said in a soft tone of voice "Ezra, wake up" so much for that. I started to shake his arm ever so slightly, but still nothing. "Ezra, Ezra wake up" I called out his name a little louder. and out of know where Ezra grabs me by the waist and pushes me back onto the bed.

"Morning sunshine" Ezra said with a kiss to the lips.

"Very funny Ezra, Are you coming with me and Johnathan today? Or are you and Hardy driving back to Rosewood?" I asked

"I think I would like to spend the day with my favorite girl in the world, and my son" Ezra responded and climbed on top of me with kisses to my neck, then my ear and working its way up to my lips.

"Ezra, if you keep this up. I'm not going to make the fundraiser on time" I said giving him one last kiss and pushing him off me.

"And here I thought I was going to get my morning fix" Ezra laughed and got out of bed. "Is Hardy still sleeping?"

"yeah, you should go wake him up and see what his plan's are" I told him and started getting ready for my day.

It wasn't long before I got ready, with my white Save the Children foundation t-shirt and a pair of jean shorts. Topped off with my white tennis shoes and my hair in a pony tale. very lite make up. And now time to wake up Johnathan. But as I went into his room. Ezra had already woken him up, they were both on the floor playing with some of Johnathan's race car's and trucks.

"Isn't this a nice picture!" I said from the door way.

"I'm sorry, I was walking to the living room when I saw Johnathan just getting up." Ezra said standing up from his spot.

"It's fine, I'll go wake up Hardy" I told him and turned around to leave when Johnathan just sprang up from his spot.

"Uncle Hardy!" Johnathan exclaimed and ran into the living room and Ezra and I followed.

"Uncle Hardy, wake up" Johnathan's excitement filled the room. As he jumped right on Hardy's back...

"Ugh, John that hurts..." Hardy said with a groggy voice.

"I have a few extra t-shirts if you guys want to help with the fundraiser?" I said taking three cups out from the cabinet and pouring coffee into it.

"Sure, I'll tag along." Hardy spoke and I looked at him confused.

"Okay Hardy what's going on?" I looked at him and then I looked at Ezra and He had a smile on his face.

"what are you talking about Aria, I love kids" Hardy said and stood up from his spot and walked in the kitchen.

"you're acting really different, your..." I said and shook my head

"I'm what?" Hardy asked with a smile on his face.

"Just ask her Hardy, Don't be shy." Ezra patted his friends back and went around the counter and hugged me from behind.

"Okay, Last night as Ezra and I was riding up the elevator. I told him this was a nice place and that I wanted to put in a housing application." hardy stopped and looked at me...

"Oh, I see. You want to rent one of my unit's?" I smirked...

"Yeah, I do!" hardy replied.

"And you want one in this building?" I questioned..

"Yes, Aria I do." Hardy said with a grin from ear to ear.

"Well, I'm sorry it's full and this is for low-income families. I just live here to maintain it, and It's one of the thing's that I support. Single Men and Women with Children." I replied with a smile.

"Oh!" Hardy's smile subsided and I turned around to kiss Ezra and walked to the Ice box.

"But if you really want to live in New York, I do have a few other Building's you might want to look at." I turned around and looked at his face. It look like a kid on christmas morning.

"Really, Yeah I'd love that!"

"Great, but if you don't mind. Why the sudden urge to move out here?" I questioned " I thought things were going great with the PR firm in california?"

"I'm going to get Johnathan ready," Ezra said leaving the two of us to talk.

"I missed one appointment and they let me go" Hardy replied looking down at his coffee.

"Just because of that? there must be more to the story." I raised my eyebrow...

"Fine, I missed the appointment because I was sleeping with the bosses wife." Hardy blurted out.

I started to laugh.." You what? what were you thinking?" I asked still laughing.

"What? it sounded like a good Idea at the time" Hardy smirked.

"you're too much, but if you need a job I think I can help you with that?" I said and walked into my office to get all the things I needed for today...

"You see all this... I've worked for weeks to get more donation's from different firms, to take part in saving children and helping out. and so far I've come out short." I said and Hardy raised his I eyebrow and looked at me with confusion. "So since you have a background on public relations, you could. Use your big mouth to get the word out" I smiled.

"And you'll pay me for my services?" Hardy smiled

"You make it sound so sexually, but yes you'll get paid. What was your salary at the firm, I'll double that?" I told him and sat on the stool by the counter.

"Really? You'll double what I got?" Hardy exclaimed

"Yeah, everything my grandparents and I fundraise for, is for the Men, Women and Children in need. And I want other corporations Companies helping out... Look it's not about the money it's about giving a brighter future to the little girls and boys out there. Life is hard, when you don't have nothing so I just want to give what I can." I told him

"That's really great of you Aria, thank you. And I'd love to work for you." Hardy took the job.

"But I do have one rule" I said and grabbed my purse.

"Yeah, what's that?"

"You are not to touch any of the women in my program. Clear" I told him with a serious face.

"Sure, Boss..." Hardy replied.

"Good, first days task is coming up in an hour go get ready." I told him... Yup this should be fun...

Ezra's ...

It's a good, thing Aria had stolen some of my clothes. Because I didn't bring anything with me to New york. Unlike Hardy who is wearing the same thing he had on the night before... We were finally ready and taking the elevator down when we ran into the maintenance crew, they were painting the inside of a unit on the first floor.

"Hey william," Aria said giving him a hug.

"Good Morning, Miss Patterson. Off to the Central Park?" William had asked when they pulled back from the hug.

"William, I told you to call me Christine, and yes were headed their now" Aria replied.

"Oh...Where's Mr. Patterson?" William questioned and Aria looked at me with grin on her face.

"William, Mike isn't here. I'd like you to meet Ezra Fitz, My fiance'!" Aria said I looked at her with wide eyes. She still wanted to marry me...YES!

"I'm sorry about last night, I knew you didn't know me so I told you I was Mike" I told him shaking his hand.

"You could have just said your name, Christine talk's a lot about you all the time!" william said and I raised an eyebrow. "Don't worry it's all good things." He finished and nudged Aria, in the arm.

"You have a good, day okay. I've got to get back to work..." william wave and we left the Building, only to find that Aria has a driver waiting for us. To take us to Central Park.

"Aria," I said once the four of us got in, "You have a whole other life here, why didn't you tell me any of this."

She looked at me and then turned to Johnathan and back to me " I don't know, I guess. It's not something that I want to flaunt. I love my life in Rosewood. And when I'm there back home. I'm myself. Not Christine Patterson, working 18-year-old. I'm just Aria, fresh out of high school getting ready for college." She responded and took my hand.

"And I love Aria," I said giving her a kiss.

"Mommy, can you and daddy stop kissing. That's all you guys do" Johnathan exclaimed from his car seat and Hardy giving him a high-five.

"Johnathan I love mommy okay, and when you get older you'll have someone just like her" I told Johnathan and Hardy rolled his eyes.

"So, Hardy are you sure you want to work for Aria" I joked. and she playfully hit my arm.

"Mommy, Hitting is bad." Johnathan scold Aria

I started laughing, "Yes Johnathan mommy hit, daddy what should we do with her?"

Johnathan made a thinking face and snapped his finger and I was surprised he got it right "No ice cream for mommy. That's what she does when I don't listen." Johnathan replied.

"Yes know Ice-cream for mommy" I laughed

"Really, are you guys really going to punish me for that, I'm sorry" Aria said and gave a little pout.

"I think mommy learned her lesson, what do you think? can she have Ice-cream?" I looked at Johnathan

"Okay, mommy but only if you're really sorry" Johnathan spoke.

"I'm really sorry I hit daddy on the arm." Aria said and kissed my arm.

"I forgive you." I told her and she brought her lips up to my ear.

"I'm going to get you back for this Joke Ezra" And she gave my ear a little nibble before turning her attention back to Johnathan.

"You guys are really meant for each other. you're just too much." hardy laughed and continued writing stuff down.

Aria...

"Welcome to the annul fundraiser For Men, Women and Childern, all the process. Will go to the families in need. So don't be afraid to spend spend spend..." The announcer that was on stage said into the microphone.

"So Aria, where do we start first" Hardy asked as they walked into the park.

"Okay first, call me Chris, Christine or anything other than Aria. and second. Pick a booth and go from there." I tell him and took hold of Johnathan's hand and started walking toward a few women. I turned around and looked at Ezra "Hey follow me, I want to introduce you too a few people."

"Okay, let's go.." Ezra said taking hold of My free hand and walking to one of the Booths.

"Ezra, this is. Jennifer Parson and Her Son nick. She lives in the building that were at."

"It's very nice to meet you Jennifer, and you too nick." Ezra said giving nick a High-five.

"Oh, so you're Ezra...Christine here talks a lot about you." Jennifer said and looked to Me with a smirk.

" So I've heard, Good things I hope" Ezra laughed.

"Don't worry, when Christine gushes about you it's only the good stuff." Jennifer smiled and went back to her business.

"You sure talk about me a lot don't you?" Ezra smirked and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

"Well, what else am I supposed to do on my free time Ezra?" I laughed and Ezra, Johnathan and I started to walk around the park marking sure everything was running smooth.

"Ezra, this is Bonnie Martin, She also lives in the same Building and this is her daughter Katie, She's the same age as Johnathan. And to me frank I think Johnathan has some feelings for little Kate here." I smiled.

"Yeah these too, can't seem to stay away from each other." Bonnie replied and Ezra took a glance at Johnathan as He and Katie took hold of each other's hands.

"Their cute together, and it's very nice to meet you bonnie. I hope to see you around." Ezra said and took hold of my hand.

"Hey Chris, if you want you could leave Johnathan here for a while and do your rounds!" Bonnie suggested

"Are you sure?" Aria asked.

"Of course, it's the least I could do. You've done so much for me and Kate, I just wanted to lend a helping hand." Bonnie replied.

"It was all you Bonnie, it was your strength and will power that got you here today." I said and gave Bonnie a hug.

"thank you." I told Bonnie and Ezra and I started walking around again. "So what do you think?" I asked as we stopped off at one of the stands to get a drink.

"I think you're amazing, you should have told me about this a long time ago. I would have loved you help." Ezra smiled and handed me my drink.

I nodded and handed a few dollars to the frank. "Miss, Patterson I can't take your money." He smiled.

"Fine, Ezra hand this money to Frank" I laughed

"Very funny Miss Patterson..." Frank smiled and took the money from Ezra.

"Why didn't he want to take the money?" Ezra asked confused

I looked up at Ezra and smiled " If I tell you this, you can't repeat okay!" I raised my eyebrow. and waited for Ezra... After he nodded I continued.

"Frank is a single father, the mother of his child was into some heavy drug's and well. she used to beat his son. But Frank didn't have a whole lot of money just a few dollars. One day I was just walking around the mainstrip and ran into Frank and his son James. They lived on the street...So I helped him out." I smiled.

"How did you do that?"

"Well, my grandparents franchises a few of the Tasty Hot Dogs stand here in New York. When I told my Grandparents about Frank they, Gave him an offer and a way out. He now own's one of his own hot dog stands and his son is one of the best readers in his second grade class." I told Ezra.

"I'm so proud of you Aria, I'm speechless" Ezra spun me around and gave me a passionate kiss to the lips, when we pulled apart a few people look at us funny...

Ezra and I both started laughing as we continued to walk around the park. I can't explain how nice this is. Ezra and I having a great time and not one person in the world care. That Ezra and I were once in a student-teacher relationship. Even though the whispers and the rumors about Ezra and I. subsided it's still there. But out here, were free. Free to be affectionate, free to hold hands and smile at each other. free to have a full length conversation and not have to worry if the person next to you, is going to start a new rumor and most of all free from Jackie and Jason...Yes I'm most defiantly loving today.
