Here's the next chapter sorry it took so long, but I've been really busy. This chapter is Ezra's mom. So I hope you enjoy it.
It's been two moths, since Ezra and I got married in Vegas. And now plans, for a rosewood wedding are in full swing. Johnathan will be the ring bear, I have 3 bride's maid. Ezra has his groomsmen, and were renting out the gazebosfor an outdoor ceremony. Also the cake, is a 3 tier Red velvet, chocolate, and vanilla. we both laughed at the combinationbut when the, wedding planner suggested it. we couldn't say no, so one layer each. Is going to bea different kind of flavor, it will satisfied all our needs.
Between school, work and planning the wedding and raising Johnathan. I had to take Brittney, up on her offer. Now she's living in Rosewood, in Ezra's old apartment. I knew keeping it around, was for the best. And not to forget my second pride and Joy growing inside of me.
Ezra's been more thansupportive, but somethings it's hard. With him traveling back and forth, from Vegas and Rosewood. Ezra and Erica has workedaround the clock, pushing paper work. Making things, go as smoothas it can. And Ashley, Erica's daughteris actually my flower girl. She's such a cutie. When I look at her it makes me think back, to that weekend in Vegas. When Ezra was asking my belly if you were a girl or boy... Then he just came out, saying he wanted a girl. But as for me, I dont' care boy or girl as long as ITcomes out heathy I'm happy.
"Babe" Ezra yelled out for me. My grandparents let Ezra have the week off, account of our wedding.
"Yeah" I responded and emerged from the office and meant Ezra in the hallway "What's going on?"
"My mom's here! She wanted to meet, my future wife. Before the wedding" Ezra laughed
"Really?" I question "why didn't you tell her, we got married?"
He shrugged "it wasn't like I had the time, I mean between Vegas and Rosewood. I haven't really talked to her."
"That's Sad..." I smiled "Let's get down there" I said unsure on how this meeting, is going down.
Ezra's POV:
Aria and I have been on good terms for the past couple of months, But with my mother here. I just feel like that boundary of happiest, will just come crashing down. mainly because, I didn't tell her I got married. And more importantly I didn't tell her, Aria is pregnant and in her freshman year of college.
As we walked down the stairs, I squeezed Aria's hand. To assure her everything will be fine, but she just glances back at me. Not even a slight smile, to a sure me that she's okay with this.
"Mom this is aria" I announced as we entered the living room.
"hello Aria, it's nice to finally meet you" she put the picture of Johnathan, Aria and I back above the fire-place.
"It's very nice, to finally meet you too Mrs. Fitz" Aria Smiled
Oh GoD!. One hormonal 18-year-old, and my mother not a good combination.
My mom nodded her head "Ezra, didn't tell me you are pregnant" She stared at Aria's belly "And that you also have a son" She pointed to the picture.
"Mom" I hissed "Be nice, it's not aria's fault. You didn't know any information, about my life" I my emphasis on MY.
"Please Ezra, your my son. And before this girl, we talked. And now you're in hiding."
I rolled my eyes "I'm not in hiding, aria and my relationship was complicated. We've kept our relationship a secret for a reason. But now everything is out in the open, I have a great Job. that I wouldn't change for the world"
"Yes, Ezra. I heard about the student/ teacher affair. How could you date a student?" she yelled
"Excuse me? One, Aria was not just a student. Two, Who told you? and three it is none of your business, who I date!" I yelled back.
"Ezra! Stop it's your mother, your yelling at" Aria clamed me down " she has a right, to voice her concerns"
"Aria, I don't need you to defend me"
Oh! That's it "Mom" Aria cut me off.
"Mrs. Fitz. I'm well aware, you are capable of defending yourself. And I was not defending you. I just feel that your blowing everything, way out of proportion." Aria smiled at me "Our relationship had many and I mean many, up's and down's. But the fact that, Ezra and I fell in love. at first sight, was more than enough for us. The rumors and gossips about us, when we went public. Only made us stronger, I love your son. With my heart and soul, I would never intentionallytry to do something. To the point where he would get hurt." I smiled at aria, when she finished. She is a fighter.
"I see" was all my mother said before she finally took a seat "why didn't you tell me, about Aria? why did i have to hear it from Jackie?"
Aria's POV:
Ezra's Mom and I, both looked at Ezra for this one. For months I've told Ezra, I wanted to meet his mother. But he would always change the subject. Now with his Mother asking, the questions maybe I'll get some answers.
"You're a drunk, and I don't want my family to deal with my mother." Ezra blurted out.
"Did your father, know about this rosewood life of yours?" she was practically in tears.
'yes, dad came down. About a month ago. And stayed a few nights. to get to know Aria, Not judge her" Ezra said in a firm Voice.
"Mrs. Fitz, why don't you and I have lunch? we can talk and get to know each other" I suggested, ignoring the stareI was getting from Ezra "I insist, and i"m not taking no for an answer." I said and went upstairs to get my bag and Jacket.
"Aria? I don't want you alone, with my mother" I turned around and gave him a look.
"Are you seriously, telling me what to do?" I asked he a clam voice
"Aria, there are things about my mother. That I haven't told you"
"your right, you haven't told me anything. But That's alright, I'm about to find out for myself" I said and started to walked downstairs. When Ezra grabbed my arm.
"Please, be careful. And call me when you leave" He pleaded with me, is his mother that bad?
"Okay, I love you Ezra. Everything will be fine" I said and gave him a kiss.
I walked down the stairs with a smile "Are you ready?" I asked.
"Yes and please call me Sarah!" She smiled at me. Step one I guess.
Sarah and I made it to the Grille, with small talk in the car ride over. Just her asking what I was majoring in, and how Ezra and I met. But I yet to ask her any questions.
"So do you want to tell me, why Ezra is so upset at you?" I kind of blurted out the question.
She arched an eyebrow "I used to hit Ezra, and his brother. When I got drunk, he never really forgave me for that. But I've been sober for over two years, that's when Ezra and I started talking again." Sarah explained.
"I'm sorry, if it seems that I've taken him away from you."
"I don't blame you, sweetie. I know my son has a mind of his own, I just wish he would tell me what's going on." Sarah was really sad, it's like she was missing a part of her son.
I smiled at her "I understand, when I had Johnathan. I only got to see him on holidays, and every other weekend. Because I lived all the way in Iceland, at the time. It's tuff." I told her.
"why did you separatefrom your son?" She worried, so I went into telling her the story. Up until now, How and what my family business is. And what I do in New York, and I also told her what we plan on doing after the wedding.
"Wow, you really have a busy life. How did you manage, everything?"
"My family, is really supportive. And So is my friends, and I couldn't havefinished off highschool without the encouragement from Ezra. He's really my rock."
"You two, sound and look happy." Sarah smiled
"we are, we have our fights. But that's mainly because, I'm just really hormonally now. And can't control what I say." I giggled and Sarah Joined in.
"I know what you mean, When I had Ezra. I was A mess, if it wasn't for Richard. I think I really would have wentcrazy" She admitted. "I'm sorry, about what happen at the house."
"It's okay...I'm glad you're here, to share this moment with us." I told her and she rubbed my arm.
"Me too" She replied and we started to eat.
Ezra's POV:
Aria and My mom, has been gone for the last 3 hours. God only knows what, lies' my Mother is telling Aria. I should have just told Aria, the truth... My mother used to beat, my brother and I went she was drunk. But when she was Sober, she was my best friend. As I grew older, I realised. No one who drinks, and Hit's you is your friend.
I should have just called her! I wasn't really planning on, telling my Mother about the wedding. I know my dad is, okay with it. And right now that's, all that matters... I just couldn't wait anymore, My mother is crazy. And I can't even comprehend what lies she's telling Aria. So I called her...
"Aria? Where are you?" I blurted out
"Babe, I'm fine. Your mom and I, are at the mall. Why?" She sounded okay.
"Aria, please just come home." I begged.
"Ezra, your mother is great. She told me about the PAST..." Aria put emphasis on PAST " And I think you should, take her out for dinner!"
"That's not going to happen." I laughed
"Yes, it is. And I already made your reservations. At the Italian restaurant on main street. That's why were at the mall..." Aria giggled. "Babe, please it's your mother. You can't hold a grudge like that, forever. Believe me I know." Aria pleaded. "I just want a family, and that includes your side"
"I understand what you're saying, but I don't know."
"Just think about it, dinner is at 7 and I'll be home in an hour. I love you, Ezra"
"I love you too, I'll see you soon."
I know, it was short. But like I said, i've been busy. I hope you enjoyed it a little. if not then I'm sorry, please excuse the mistakes. And don't forget to review. I love hearing from you...
