Ezra watched as the big gray van pulled up in front of his house. The words Newark Mental Health Hospital were painted on the side and they seemed like they were screaming at him. Two big men got out of the front seat and headed towards the house, Ezra opened the door before they rang the bell.

"Afternoon" One of the men said, Ezra just nodded.

"We're here for an Ari Fitz" The other guy said.

"It's Aria actually" Ezra corrected. "And she's right this way" He lead them to their bedroom where Aria was still confined. "She won't come out, or let anyone in" Ezra warned.

"No problem" The shorter of the two guys said. He put the box he was carrying on the ground and opened it to get out the tools he would need to talk the doorknob off so they could get Aria out.

Ezra had asked Aria's parents to take the kids so they wouldn't be there when their mom got taken away. He watched as they effortlessly took the knob off the door and pushed it open. The larger of the two men motioned Ezra to go in first.

Ezra walked into his bedroom, followed by the two workers. The bed was a mess, papers thrown all over it and falling onto the floor next to it. The closet was empty with all their clothes on the floor in piles and the dresser drawers were on the floor empty, with their contents next to them.

Ezra looked around but Aria was nowhere to be found. He proceeded into the bathroom and found Aria curled in a ball on the floor. He went over to her, the hospital men hovered by the door.

"Aria?" Ezra said as he moved some of her hair out of her face.

"Aria?" He said again. Her eyes were open but she just stared straight ahead of her, she looked terrified. Ezra followed her gaze but only saw the bathtub.

"It's okay Aria, I'm here. You're fine" Ezra said trying to get her off the floor, but she refused to move.

"Emily" She said so softly Ezra had to strain to hear.

"What?" He asked.

Aria sat up. "Emily. She had a baby" She said, finally looking at Ezra in his eyes.

"C'mon Aria, you need to come with me" He said, helping her to her feet. The men moved forward. Ezra tried to wordlessly tell them to stay there before Aria saw them, but they continued toward them.

Aria saw their reflection in the mirror and turned to face them, but she just brushed past them like they weren't even there. They all followed her back into the bedroom and to the closet where she began digging through the piles of clothes.

"Emily did have a baby, you see? I have no maternity clothes in here, I gave them all to her to wear. If she was never pregnant, I would still have all my maternity clothes." Aria explained. "And over here" She exited the closet and moved toward the dresser. "We don't have any of the baby things we had; no ear thermometer, no baby monitor. Its because I gave them all to her to use. So she did have a baby" She was so confident in what she was saying, Ezra couldn't help but cry.

"No. Aria. No" He said.

"Yes, Ezra. That's what happened, ask her. Why else wouldn't we have all those things" Aria explained again.

Ezra went over and tenderly took both of her hands in his. "Aria, we donated all the old baby stuff to charity a long time ago along with all your maternity clothes. That's why you don't have them. And Emily already had kids before so she would need any of those things because she already had them" Ezra explained.

The men came up behind Aria and took each of her arms, pulling them behind her like she was being arrested.

"Its okay. Your safe" The big man said.

Aria let the men walk her out of the room, but she never broke eye contact with Ezra until they had pulled her into the hallway. Ezra followed them, tears pouring down his cheeks and frequent sobs escaping from his lips. He saw Aria's parents pull into the driveway, he knew they had the kids. In a desperate attempt to keep them from seeing, he ran past Aria and the men, trying to shoo them away, but he was too late.

Liam and Annabelle had already gotten out of the car, and Lena and Chloe were right behind them. He saw Aria's parents trying to get them back into their seats, but they all had already seen Aria being pulled out of their house by two strange men.

Aria looked at all four of her children standing with her husband and parents. The second she made eye contact with them, the kids lost it. They all took off running towards her, Liam trying to peal the men's hands off of his mothers arms.

Ezra, Ella, and Bryon were all right behind them, holding them back. Aria couldn't take it anymore. She fought the men, trying to get free so she could hug her children, but the men just held her tighter. She wriggled her body in all directions trying to slip out of their grip, but the men had done this before. They got her to the van, and with a little bit of trouble put Aria in the back.

Ezra could still hear her, even after they had closed the doors. It broke his heart to hear his wife screaming desperately for her children. Each time she yelled one of their names, his heart ripped into a million more pieces, and tears continued to flood his eyes and cheeks.

The van pulled away, leaving Ezra, Ella, and Bryon standing in the driveway with four screaming children. Each one of them screaming for their mother, fighting to get free in between their cries and sobs.

Ezra took in the scene and broke. His knees became weak and he fell to the ground, letting Liam free. Ezra buried his face in his hands and sobbed harder than he thought possible. Liam ran down the street screaming for his mother, sobbing as he tried to catch up with the van that was already gone, Bryon took off after him.

Ella sat in the driveway, away from Ezra, holding her three sobbing granddaughters, tears staining her cheeks too. Byron caught Liam and stopped him from going any farther.

"NO!" Liam kept screaming as Bryon fought to keep him from running away. "MOM!" He yelled "No" his voice when from a scream to a soft sound among his sobs. He stopped fighting Bryon and fell to the grass in the yard he had ended up in front of. Bryon held him in his arms, both of them crying loudly.

"It's okay" Bryon finally said. "I'm here, it's okay" he repeated.

They sat there in the grass, Bryon had calmed down enough to breath normally so he just rocked Liam in his lap as Liam continued to sob. A car pulled up in front of them and Bryon looked up.

Spencer looked back at him from the passenger seat, tears running down her face. She got out and took Liam out of Bryon's lap.

"Why don't you go back to the house" Spencer said motioning toward the car. "I'll walk home with him"

Bryon climbed in the car and Toby drove away. Spencer sat on the ground next to Liam. He turned his body and nestled his face into her shoulder, she could feel the coldness of his wet cheeks.

"You want to go home?" She asked him, rubbing his back. She felt him nod against her shoulder.

Spencer stood up and took Liam by the hand. She began walking toward Aria's house. Liam rested his face against her arm as they walked and she put her arm around him.

"It's going to be okay" She said.

"I wish everyone would stop saying that" Liam said softly back.

"What?" Spencer asked.

"That everything's going to be okay. Its not going to be okay and I know that, so stop telling me that it is" Liam said.

Spencer stopped walking and looked Liam in the eye. Her eyes were red and swollen just like his, and she spoke softly.

"Now I want you to listen to me Liam" She said tenderly "No matter what happens, you have people who love you. Your dad, your sisters, me, Uncle Toby, Aunt Hanna and Uncle Sean, Aunt Emily, and all our kids, we all love you more than you could ever imagine. And as long as you have people who love you, then everything will be okay. I'm not just saying that, I mean it with all my heart, Liam. I love you honey. It's all going to be okay. I promise"

Liam had begun to cry again and he hugged Spencer tightly. "It's okay" She said again "I love you. Its okay"

Liam let go and they continued home.
