Aria's POV:
Today is the day Ezra comes back from his business trip in New Orleans, I thought it would be a great idea to surprise him once he steps through the door .
I grabbed two plates from the cabinet and set them down on the counter and filled them with noodles and spread spaghetti sauce over the pile of noodles. I picked up the plates and carried them over to the coffee table and set them down. I set out to find some candles, but before I could light them, I heard Ezra put his key into the door. Within two seconds Ezra stood about 10 feet away from me.
"Welcome Home, Honey," I said seductively. As I walked towards him, my heels clicked with every step I took towards him. Ezra and my lips connected for the first time in forever and our tongues greeted each other as well.
"Are we celebrating something I don't know about?" Ezra asked, curiously.
"Nope." I told him. "You're wearing this dress because?"
"I just wanted to hear you say wow." "I like coming home to you." Ezra said.
I took Ezra's hand in mine and led him over to his black leather couch, when we sat down, I sighed faintly. "Something wrong?" He asked.
"I was just wondering .. What would it be like if we had a baby? Not like now, but maybe a few years from now."
"Well, that would be great. But I think we should wait until you're graduated from college and have a job. That way no one will interfere."
"But would it be so bad if we had a baby .. like now?" I asked him, curiously.
Ezra raised his eyebrow a little bit. "Aria, is there something we need to talk about?"
I swallowed hard , trying to find the right words, but they wouldn't come out.
"Ezra, I.." Ezra settled his hand on my knee and rubbed it with his thumb. "It's okay, you can tell me anything."
"I'm pregnant." Ezra's mouth dropped open slightly. "How could you be so stupid, Aria?"
"What? How could I be so stupid? We're both at fault here, not just me."
"Well, I'm sorry. I can't handle this. I think you should leave. now." He gestured to the door.
"But I.."
"Aria, leave."
I jolted up from bed, looking around the room, breathing heavily. It was just a dream, I reassured myself and slowly went back down onto my mattress.
My alarm clock buzzed, telling me it was time to wake up. I pulled my covers off my body and I slowly got out of bed.
I drifted over to my window, as I looked out, I noticed it was down pouring. My fingers clung to my soft pink curtains as I leaned up against the cold glass window.
Right on time, my morning sickness came about. I rushed to my bathroom and threw up in the toilet. I plopped down on the cold tile floor after I was done and rested my back hand onto my knees. How am I suppose to do this for 9 more months? And how in the world am I suppose to explain to my parents that I slept with my former English teacher, who's been my boyfriend for nearly one year? It was hard enough to tell them the truth, but this news will surely send them over the edge.
I got up from the floor and walked back into my room and got dressed into some skinny jeans and a loose shirt. I threw on some combat boots and made my way downstairs.
"Morning, mom." I mumbled as I made my way to the refrigerator and got some juice.
"You're up, early." She replied.
"I told you, I have to go over to Spencer's house with the girls and finish our paper that you assigned us over the break." I spurted back.
"Ah, yes. Have fun." Ella said in a sarcastic tone.
"Yeah, like English is ever fun while I'm trying to relax and enjoy the perfect weather!" I pointed to the window, which it showed it was raining cats and dogs.
I drove over to Spencer's house, which wasn't far from where I lived. I only stayed a couple minutes because today is the day Ezra is coming home and I wanted to meet him at the airport. Since I was the first one to get to Spencer's, her and I had some time to talk about what I was going to tell him about our little situation.
"So, are you going to tell him?" Spencer asked.
"I really don't know if it's the right time."
"Well, you're going to have to tell him sooner or later. Cause you know, you're tiny figure isn't going to be tiny much longer."
"I know that, Spence. But I don't know how to tell him exactly. I mean what if he doesn't handle it well? What if he breaks up with me and leaves me?"
Spencer put her hand on my shoulder and turned me towards her.
"Aria, he loves you and a baby isn't going to change that. Trust me. And if he does, which he won't, Hanna and Emily will help you through everything!"
The corners of my mouth turned up right slightly as I pulled Spencer into a hug.
"Thank you. And thank you for being here for me. It means a lot."
Spencer hugged me back and then pulled away before she spoke again.
"Of course, we're team Sparia! I'll always be here for you no matter what. Now, go meet your boyfriend at the airport and then report back to me when you can."
Spencer is literally the best friend I can ever have. Of course so are Emily and Hanna, but I always go to Spencer first for anything. I don't know where I'd ever be without her.
As I arrived at the airport, Ezra's plane was just about to land. I'm literally so nervous, I don't know what I'm going to say or how I'll bring me being pregnant into the conversation. Obviously I can't just come out and say, "The condom didn't work, I'm pregnant." I need some kind of way to get a baby into the conversation.
-Did Ezra's plane land yet?- (Spencer)
-Yeah, they should be unloading the plane right about now- (Aria)
-Okay, well text me after you tell him. Love you girl, and good luck!- (Spencer)
-Thanks, Spence. Love you, too!- (Aria)
As I started putting my phone into my purse, I heard my name being shouted.
"Aria?" Ezra yelled across the airport.
I turned around quickly to see Ezra waving his arm in the air. I smiled brightly and ran over to him. As I was running, I started feeling dizzy, but I put it off. But when I reached where Ezra was standing, I passed out.
I woke up on the floor of the airport with my head on Ezra's lap, he was stroking my hair. Once he noticed I woken up, Ezra picked me up bridal style and kissed my temple.
"Are you okay?" He asked me.
"Yeah, I didn't really have a lot to eat today, so maybe that's why I fainted." I replied.
"Well, you scared me. So how about we go back to my apartment and we can order some Chinese and watch old movies like old times?"
I smiled up at him and took his face in my hands and kissed him on the lips.
"I'd love that." Ezra put me down on the ground gently and picked up his suitcase in his left hand and then grabbed my hand softly with his right hand.
When Ezra and I arrived at his apartment, Ezra settled his bag on the ground and shut the door. He grabbed me by the waist, pushed me up against the wall, put my arms above my head and kissed the living hell out of me.
"I didn't get a proper hello at the airport." Ezra mumbled against my lips, seductively.
I pulled away and then sat on his black leather couch. Ezra followed me and sat next to me.
"Aria, what's wrong?" He asked while he took my hands in his.
My eyes began to water as I try to find the right words to say.
"I have something to tell you, but before I do .. There's a chance you might not look at me the same again." I finally said.
"Aria! That won't happen, just tell me what's wrong so we could fix it." Ezra said to me.
Ezra looked me in the eyes and brushed my hair back behind my ears. Tears began to flow down my cheeks, but he brushed them away with his thumb as they fell.
"Please don't be angry with me.." I said between sobs.
"Aria, I won't get angry with you. Just please tell me what's upsetting you, you're really starting to scary me."
"Remember a few weeks ago? When we you know .. had sex?" I asked.
"Of course.." He nodded.
"Well, I .. I'm pregnant.."
Wow, everything started to get real all of a sudden. I was waiting for Ezra to respond, which seemed like forever, but he finally spoke.
"A-Are you sure?" Ezra asked.
"Yeah. I took like three tests, and they all came back positive. Ezra, what are we going to do? I mean, I can't tell my parents, they'd probably call the cops or something. And plus, I can't be a teen mom, I'm almost through high-school, and I need to start filling out applications for college soon.."
Ezra was silent for a few moments, trying to gather his words.
"Well, do you want to keep it .. or? I mean, of course if you want to keep it, keep it. I'll help you every step of the way. But if you want to put it up for adoption, that's another option, and again, I would do whatever it takes to make the right decision for the both of us and the baby."
I shook my head, I mean I don't know if I want to keep the baby or give it up for adoption. But the only thing I won't do is get an abortion, I wouldn't be able to live with myself if I knew that I killed a human being.
"Adoption is an option, but on the other hand, you would make a great father."
Ezra looked up at me and smiled.
"Whatever you want to do, I'll be here for you."
With that, I moved towards Ezra and laid my head against his chest while he put his arm around me until we fell asleep into a somewhat peaceful bliss.
