Sorry I haven't updated in a while. College is getting stressful, I finally finished the PLL books, and I have been sick. I hope you will continue to read and forgive me for the unrealistic reactions from Aria's parents. I know their reactions would be a lot worse but I just couldn't have Ezra sent away. Oh and I promise to try to have Jake act and talk more like the three year old that he is. Thank you for all the reviews.

Here is chapter ten.

"A-Aria what are you doing here?"

Aria was a second away from speaking when her father's eyes caught sight of Ezra and Jake. "Better yet, what the hell is he doing here? A-and w-who is that?" he said staring at the boy in Ezra's arms.

Ella sighed as she inched closer to her husband's side. "It's a long story Byron. But that's your grandson."

Aria gasped as she quickly glanced at her son in his father's arms before slowly moving her gaze back in her father's direction all the while anxiously awaiting the words he would soon speak. "Oh no" She thought How was he going to react. What was he going to say?

"Excuse me Ella; I'm not sure I heard you correctly." He continued to stare at Jake. He didn't even bother to focus his attention elsewhere. "Could you please repeat what you just said? I could have sworn you just said that the little boy right there" he pointed the finger of his good hand directly at Jake." I could have sworn you just said that he was my grandson."

There was utter silence for a moment before Ella finally mumbled a single statement. "I did."

"But Ella, for him to be my grandson that would mean that he is Aria's son. And that can't be true."

"He is." She mumbled as she stole a peak in her daughter's direction.

Byron finally turned his attention to his daughter and Aria finally got a peak of Byron's expressionless face. "Aria, I think you have some explaining to do."

Aria searched her brain for the right words to say next. Words that would make the situation she was in okay, words that would get her out of this mess. But much to her dismay no such words seemed to come. "Uh dad." She paused for a moment in an attempt to gain her composure. Nerves were getting the better of her and she thought that at any moment her legs were going to give out and she would end up falling to the ground. "His name is Jake. He's my son."

"Is that right?"

Aria answered with a nod.

"Is that all you have to say for yourself Aria?"

Aria pondered her father's question for a brief moment. What was there that she could say? No words would make the situation easier or make her father happy.

"What is it that you want me to say dad? That Jake isn't mine, that I'm not his mother," She paused for a second. "I'm sorry I can't do that, I would be lying."

"I want you to say that this is all a big joke. I want you to say that you didn't go away to New York and get yourself pregnant and in reality I'm not staring at the face of my grandchild." Byron spoke sternly.

The room was silent for minutes after Byron's statement was heard. No one knew what to say or how to respond. It was Aria who then decided to break the ice. "Well you are partly right."

"I'm sure as hell hoping the part I am right about is that this is all a big joke."

Aria was hesitant to speak again. "I'm afraid not."

"Then what is it exactly? Enlighten me would you? I'm dying to know what it is that I said that was correct because at the moment I am clueless."

"I didn't get pregnant in New York." Aria took a deep breath before continuing. "That's just the reason I stayed there."

"Aria, w-what are you saying?"

"Dad-." Before Aria could get another word out she was interrupted by the sound of her father's voice.

"Wait before you answer that, I mean I can't wait to hear what you have to say for yourself, but first I'd like to know what the hell he's doing here. No one's answered that question yet." Byron stared at Ezra with a cold glare. "Aria, why is your high school English teacher holding your son? Tell me you just happened to run into him in the waiting room."

"Wrong again." Aria mumbled but Byron was still able to hear her. At that moment Aria turned as pale as a ghost and she felt as though she was going to be sick. There was no hiding it anymore and she knew that in just a single moment everything was going to change.

"What do you mean wrong again?"

"D-dad promise not to yell. Okay."

"We will see about that. Now spit it out Aria because I'm pretty sure I know what's coming, I'd just like to hear you say the words."

Aria took yet another deep breath. "Mr. Fi- uh Ezra is Jake's dad."

In that moment Ezra was lucky he had been quick to put Jake on the ground because as soon as the words left Aria's mouth Byron's right fist connected with Ezra's jaw. "Aren't I lucky I didn't break my good arm?" Byron spat as his fist connected with Ezra once again. "You piece of shit."

Ella was finally able to pull Byron away from Ezra long enough for Ezra to regain his balance. Aria grabbed Jake and lifted him into her arms as she watched helplessly as the scene unfolded before her eyes, "Dad stop." She screamed.

"Why should I stop, Aria? He slept with a student."

"Because dad…" It was the only thing that Aria could think of at the moment.

"You'll pay for this." Byron spoke angrily in Ezra's direction. "Ella what do you think about this? Did you know about this all along?"

Ella was quick to shake her head in denial. "No of course not. I found out right before you came in the room with Dr. Gregg."

"So this is why you never came home during school holidays?"

Aria nodded in reply. "There's more dad."

"Aria." Ezra interrupted knowing what she was about to reveal to her father. His attempt was useless. Byron shot him another dirty glare. If looks could kill Ezra would have already been history.

"You" Byron shouted. "Don't get to speak. What do you mean there is more? How could there possibly be more than sleeping with your teacher and having a son to prove it?"

"Ezra and I were together from the time we got back from Iceland to the time I left for NYU."

"E-excuse me? You mean that not only did you have sex with your teacher and have his child, but now you're telling me that you dated him while you were his student."

"J-just like you and Meredith." Aria mumbled under her breath.

"No" Byron yelled. "This is not just like Meredith and I. She was twenty two years old, you were sixteen and he was your teacher."

"I didn't find out Ezra was my teacher until after I met him."

'Oh so that's supposed to make it all better." Byron's voice got quieter. "You didn't know he was your teacher so we should just give you the okay and all go on with our lives?"

Aria stayed silent as she listened to the thoughts roll around in her head. Yeah dad that would be great. Do you mind forgetting about all of this? Sadly she knew that would never work.

"That's definitely not going to happen." Byron shifted his glance from Aria and Jake to Ezra. "So that's why you were so nervous during all of those parent teacher conferences. And just think I thought you were trying to take my wife out."

"No sir." Ezra spoke nervously.

"I knew there was something off about you."

There was silence for a moment as Byron considered his next statement. Surprisingly it was Jake who decided to speak this time. "Daddy." Jake spoke holding his arms out in Ezra's direction.

Ezra considered taking Jake out of Aria's grasp but when he saw the look on Byron's face he quickly decided against it. "I'm sorry buddy. I can't."

Byron pulled his cell phone carefully out of his pocket. Then he turned his attention back to Ezra. "Looks like you'll be spending some time at the Rosewood City Jail Mr. Fitz."

Aria gasped loudly at her father's statement. "Dad please don't. You can't. He didn't force me. Besides I was eighteen before we ever did that." Aria spoke softly not wanting to get to descriptive in front of her father, the situation was awkward enough as it was.

"The hell I can't. Just watch me. Mr. Fitz here is about to get his very own orange jumpsuit." Byron replied.

"But dad what about Jake?" Aria sighed hoping that bringing up the small boy in her arms would do the trick. "You don't want him growing up without a father do you?"

It was then that Byron finally took a good long look at Jake. He had a grandson. He was only forty four; he wasn't supposed to be a grandfather at forty four. As he took in Jake's features he noticed something all too familiar. Jake had the Montgomery family nose. It was the very same as both Aria and Byron. Aside from that Jake was the miniature version of his father,

Before Byron could say a word Ella spoke up. "I already told Ezra that we wouldn't be sending him to jail."

"Oh did you?" Byron retorted harshly.

"What kind of people would we be if we took a boy away from his father and vice versa."

"Yeah well what kind of grown man has a relationship with a sixteen year old girl?"

At this statement Ezra sighed. How could he just stand there and let them point out all of his flaws as if he was just scum. He wasn't some kind of murder. Granted he did make a huge mistake, he would never actually regret his relationship with Aria. Only he wasn't about to admit that to her father.

"Byron that's enough. I had a talk with Ezra. He told me everything. If you are going to punish him even more than he has already been by not knowing his son for nearly four years than go for it. I can't physically stop you. But do something because we are standing in a very public place that I am sure is soon to fill up. Ella spoke as her eyes wandered around the still empty waiting room.

Byron took a deep breath and took one last long look in Jake's direction. "Lucky for you Mr. Fitz. I won't send you to jail. I'm not doing it for you or Aria for that matter, but for Jake. You're lucky I am just now finding out about what the two of you have done. Or else you would be in jail. No questions asked. But since there is my grandson involved I won't send you away."

Both Aria and Ezra were thrown off by the words that escaped Byron's lips.

"I don't want to hear about this ever again. You're lucky that I'm not telling the school about this."

Ezra wasn't quite sure how to respond so he settled with a nod.

Byron responded with a scowl before he finally turned his attention to his daughter. "So, Aria, is there anything else I need to know about before I change my mind about all of this mess. This would be the time for you to say "surprise, I'm joking!"."

Aria shook her head. "Sorry dad."

I hope you like this chapter. If you didn't that's okay too just please don't be too mean. I had a hard time coming up with a reaction for Byron. I wanted his to be a lot worse than Ella's but I'm not so good at writing confrontation. And I know that in reality Ezra would be sent to jail but I just couldn't do that. Besides it would pretty much ruin the rest of my story. Please leave a review. No flames though. The next chapter should pick up not too far in the future.
