Ezra and I finally had some time to ourselves. It's a good thing we're in Vegas, and everything... well mostly everything was still open. It's now past 12 and as I like to call it, the "weirdo time". that's when all the drunks and crazy people Rome the strip. People who just likes to party, but I didn't mind. But the best thing about Vegas, beside the gambling. Which I can't do, is the sights. It's like Vegas comes' alive after 12. I love walking down the strip and taking in all the lights and street performers, it's beautiful.

"Are you okay?" Ezra squeezed my hand.

I sighed and looked up at him " Yeah, just a little tired" I gave him a slight smile.

He stopped me from walking "We could go back up stairs, and just order room service?" Ezra asked with concern

"Ezra, I'll be fine. And so will the baby, let's just enjoy our time."

"I'm worried about you!" Ezra gave me a peck to the lips

"Let's go get something to eat, cause I"m straving" I smiled and tugged him along.

Ezra and I walked a few more blocks, deciding which restaurant we should eat at. Finally we just walked into Beso Steakhouse, it was a small. candle lite restaurant, prefect for the two of us.

"Hi can I get. A small, medium rare steak. with sour cream. and a root beer please" I said as soon as the waiter came our way.

"I'll have the same, but I want a sprite instead." Ezra winked at me.

"So when do you want to get married?" I asked starting a conversation.

Ezra rubbed the back of his neck, then took hold of my hands " months ago" he answered

"I'm Serious" I shook my head.

"Me to, we could have been married by now aria" he gave my hands a kiss.

"I know, but there's so much going on. I want to set a date" I sighed " I just want it to be perfect"

"Aria listen to me. At the rate were going, we'll be lucky if we get married next year." Ezra let out a nervous laugh "But if you want to have a long engagement, then that's fine with me."

I laughed " Your not serious? about having a long engagement?" I asked curious

"Aria if you would. i would take you to the nearest chapel, and tie the knot tonight. But you don't want that." Ezra was getting a little frustrated.

I pulled my hands back "why are you getting upset?"

Ezra's POV:

"I'm not" I said and ran my hand through my hair

"Ezra, tell me what are you so scared of?"

I looked her straight in the eyes "losing you" I said and pressed my lips together, as the waiter brought over our food.

We ate dinner in silence, after that. And every time I glanced up to take a look at Aria, it looked like she was deep in thought. I dont' know why but when I'm with Aria, it's like magic. She makes my life feel complete, and whole. i don't want to lose her. "I love her, so much."

"Ezra?" Aria pulled me out of my thoughts "I'm sorry, and your right"

I looked at her with wide eyes, "Can you say that again?" I smiled at her

"Shut-up" she took hold of my hands " I love you, and your right. We should get married. it doesn't matter where we get married, as long as we're together."

"Tonight? you want to get married tonight?" my face lit up

"only if you'll still have me?" I pulled her in for a kiss

"till the day i die" I said and kissed her again. "I love you, but what about rosewood?"

"It'd still be there" Aria said with true passion " And plus, we can always have another wedding, one with friends and family."

"Aria, I love you. And I may have pushed us to get married. But I don't want you to regret this." I said making sure she's alright with her choice.

she took in a breath of air and placed one of my hands, on her baby bump and the other on her heart. "I want this, we want this. So let's do it"

"Alright, let's do this" I smiled, she couldn't make me even more ecstatic. As I am now.

Aria and I were in a make out mode right outside the restaurant, when someone tapped her shoulder.

"Excuse me Ms."

Aria's POV:

"what are you doing here?" I was shock he was supposedto be, in california with my grandparents.

"No, hello for you brother?" mike acted insulted " Grandpa gave me the weekend off, so I came here." Mike answered

"hello mike" Ezra chimed in and shook his hand

"How did you know where I was? I looked at him curious

" I went to the hotel, and Robert said that you and mr. fitz walked down the strip" Mike shrugged " so here I am."

"you're lying mike, grandpa didn't gave you the weekend off" I yelled

"Christine clam down. I'm not lying he really did" Mike pulled me to the side. "look it was nothing but mergers going on. I was going crazy, I don't know how you stuck it out. But I think once I get the atlantic city account I'm selling"

"And you told grandpa about this?" I asked still not believing him

"Yeah, I did. he told me to take the weekend off, and that you we're in Vegas. I'm not lying" Mike looked me in the eyes the whole time.

"Okay, so what are you going to do now?"

"Well, I was going go check out some shows. since I can't gamble" Mike laughed.

"Well Ezra and I" I stopped to look at him, when he smiled and I saw him nod I continue. "Are getting married tonight. And I want you to come" I said in excitement.

Mikes jaw dropped " What the hell took you so long?" Mike exclaimed in excitement "So Ezra are you ready to become a Patterson?" Mike joked.

"I think I can handle it" Ezra wrapped his arms around my waist.

We started walking down the main strip again, looking for the nearest chapel, And I can't help but think. I'm really getting married, when i wake up in the morning. I'm going to be Mrs. Fitz.

Ezra's POV:

Aria has been quiet since we started walking down the strip "I hope she's not getting cold feet." but i most certainly wouldn't blame her, im now getting a little scared myself. "maybe I pushed too much for this?" As much as I love Aria, maybe we should set a date and get married in rosewood. "No stupid, Aria is your soul mate "the love of your' life." Till death do us part..." I told myself once again.

I smiled to myself and looked at my hand, that was entwined with Aria's. it's great how are hands fit, so perfectly together. And when we kiss, the passion I feel coming from her lips. sends butterflies trough my veins. " I love this woman, she is my other half" another smile appeared on my face, as I realize Aria had stop walking.

"Look Ezra" Aria pointed to the sign "happiness Chapel" I whispered.

" This is great, are you ready?" I wanted to make sure one last time before we say I do!

She wrapped her arms around my neck and brought my lips to hers " More than anything, I want to spend the rest of my life with you" She kissed me, wrapping my arms around her back. I pulled her closer , so our bodies we're touching.

"YOu guys need to stop. Christine is already pregnant!" Mike broke us out of our passionate street kissing.

"Excuse me?" Aria, playfully slapped mikes arm.

"I'm kidding. Are you sure you want to marry her?" mike joked again.

"More than anything" i said and we walked hand in hand. through the doors

"welcome to happiness chapel, how may I be of services tonight?"

"We want to tie the knot of course" I laughed.

Aria'S POV:

My mind was racking in craziness. I can't believe, what I'm about to do. But Ezra and I arent' anything but, normal so why start now? When we walked into the chapel, I took in my surroundings. It looked really normal, simple. Not over done, with props and costums. "Thank god for that" i thought to myself.

I squeezed Ezra's hand as the guy in a tailor suit greeted us.

"I want a simple, but traditional style, ceremony." I spoke first.

"No dress up's?" Ezra pouted " Simple would be great" he kisses my hand

"Great, I'm Andrew and If you want there are some wedding dresses in the back, and for the gentle man there's also tux's in the back. But women to right and gentleman to the left." he gestured with his hands. " but first here's some paper work for, the two of you to sign. Then I need your forms of ID, and I'll copy that and hand it back.

Ezra and I both reached for our ID's and handed it over. While we signed the forms he went in back, i guess to copy it. And since Ezra has really bad hand writing, I have the pleasure of filing it out.

"So would you like to carry on the Patterson name?" Mike looked at Ezra when i asked the question "But just to I let you know, it's nothing but work. I mean"

"Aria relax" Ezra smiled and rubbed my back "If that's what you want, you know I would be more than happy to help out and carry the name. It would be nice to work for my income."

"Ezra you remember, what's mine is yours. I mean we're set for life" I said and continued signing the paper work " You know if you want you can take some time off, from teaching and start working on your second book." I winked at him.

"I'll think about it. But in the mean time, I want to continue teaching."

"Okay, sign here and we're done" i said getting all giddy.

Ezra's POV:

Mike and I were in the changing rooms. when I started thinking of aria's proposal, about taking some time off for my writing. Although I've already started my second book. And I'm a bit scared of how it's going to turn out, I mean the first book was just a few short stories put together. And the second is my life, but not only mines' but Aria's too. It's about our "Forbidden lOve" well, that's the work in progress tittle I'm going with. But it seems to fit.

"Ezra are you okay? your sweating man" mike broke me out of my train of thoughts.

"yeah I'm just thinking" I replied and started to fix my tie. "can I ask you something?" I turned from the mirror and looked at mike.

he laughed "Are we going to have a bromance? sure ask away"

I shook my head "why doesn't Aria just use, her first name? why all the secrets?" I mean you seem fine with using your first name."

"well ever since we were kids, Aria was always treated like an adult, she wanted life apart from the rich" he rubbed the back of his neck "really aria and I don't care for the rich and famous. our childhood, was nothing but complicated. So when Aria got pregnant, she made herself a double life. When she has to work and order people around, she's Christine Patterson and in rosewood she's just regular Aria Montgomery, fresh out of high school. Ready to marry her former english teacher/ soul mate." Mike went into a fit of giggles "I'm sorry I just couldn't resist to add that last part in."

"Yeah, well. I still think she should go for her first name. Make Aria known as Aria." I said and took a seat next to mike "why do you use your first name, and not your middle?" I asked curious cause won't people start noticing that Mike and Christine are related and Christine is Aria.

"Because, frankly I don't give a shit. I want to play sports, I want my life to be my own. I don't want to be 21 and running a business. i want to be free."

"You can have it both ways, look at Aria. She has best of both worlds... Is that why you ran away?" I smiled.

"yeah and look at how hard Aria's working to get both worlds, and wait. You knew I ran away?" Mike what a little shock.

I gave me a look "Mike? Aria and I aren't stupid! She might be okay with this now, but once we're behind closed doors. I'm sure your sister is going to give you a few words." I patted his back "Come on, show time."

Aria's POV:

"Ms. Patterson, it's so lovely to see you. I'm Erica, and I can help you in you'r dress if you want."

"How do you know who I was?" I questioned, I have never saw this person before.

"I work part time at the hotel. I'm sorry I saw you this afternoon, and meant to introduce myself. But you looked pretty busy. I'm one of the new cocktail waitresses"

I smiled at her "Well, it's great to have you on my staff"

"Thank you. so about that dress? we did have some new ones come in, and judging by your style. your really different." Erica stepped out of the room, for a few minutes.

When she came back, and showed me the dress. I was in awe. Even though it really wasn't my style, it till had a small flow to it.

"So this dress is a strapless A-line gown features an exquisite fern design made of beaded embroidery and metallic and slik thread" Erica explained and I went into a fit of giggles.

"Did they make you say that? i asked in between laughters.

Erica started laughing "No, I just read the tag" she showed me the back of the dress.

"That was funny, now help me put it on" I said and started taking my shirt off.

"I didn't know you were pregnant" Erica said in shock after she saw my small baby bump. "how far along are you?"

"about 11 to 12 weeks" I replied and slipped the dress on, it's a good thing it's really simple.

"wow" she gasped out as she slipped on the dress "it fits you like a glove" she said in excitement.

"yeah, it really does" I said as I looked in the floor length mirror. I turned around and looked at her "if you don't mind me asking, why are you working two jobs?" are you saving for school?"

"Well no, rent is too high and I also have a child at home to take care of. My daughter Ashley, her father passed away just after she was born." Erica had shed a few tears.

"I'm so sorry." I said and pulled her in for a hug.

"It's alright, you can't prevent car accident's. Are you ready?" She asked as we pulled away.

"Yes, I am." we walked toward the door. I stopped her just as she reached for the handle "why don't you come see me tomorrow. I might be able to help" I offered

"What? i don't want to bother you"

"Your not. And I insist, you see me tomorrow. Or you'r fired" I joked

"Alright Alright" she smiled and open the door.

I stepped out first, only to run into Mike.

"I figured since dad's not here, I can walk you down"

"I'd love that" I told him and pulled Mike in for a hug " I love you, Mike"

"I love you, too sis now lets go get your man" Mike put his arm out for me.

I've never been to a Vegas Chapel, but I'm guessing that's how the thing. Pretty much goes. Hope you enjoyed this. I kinda had fun writing it. I'll update the second half soon. Sorry for any mistakes.
