Chapter 6: Miracle
While in the exam room the doctor does another ultrasound once again leaving half way through the ultrasound.
"Aria why didn't you tell me about this?" Jason interrogates Aria again.
"Jason I'm not talking about this right now." Aria doesn't even look at him, she just stares straight ahead.
"Yes, you are going to talk about this right now?" Jason tells her. "No matter how bad it is, no matter what you did Aria I love you." He continues.
"Don't say that." Aria mumbles under her breath.
"What?" Jason asks not understanding.
"Nothing." Aria tells him.
Just then the doctor reenters the room, with a second doctor. "Hello Aria, I'm Doctor Sampson, I'm the head of pediatrics here at Rosewood General I'm just going to help take a look at your ultrasound okay?" The second doctor tells her. Aria responds with a nod and a slight smirk. Aria looks over to the ultrasound screen as Dr. Sampson places the stick monitor on her stomach, Aria notices a pulsing motion on the screen when the doctor takes the monitor and places it close to her lower back.
"What's that?" Aria says almost panicky.
"It's alright, I'm sure it's just the after birth, it still hasn't past yet." The doctor asks Aria.
"Well, I was only home for like an hour or two before we came back up here." Aria tells her.
"Okay okay. Well Aria I'll be back in here in about 15 minutes. I just printed out some more tests and were going to go take a look at them and then we will be back." The doctor tells her waiting for her approval, Aria nods in understanding.
After the two doctor's leave the room its dead silence for about 3 minutes before Aria asks Jason if he could go get her something to eat, Jason has no choice but to say yes. After Jason leaves to go and get Aria food the first thing Aria does is grab her phone. She has 5 missed calls and at least 20 text messages from Ezra. She pushes the little green button shaped like a phone.
"Hello? Aria oh my gosh thank god you're alright." Ezra answers in a panic.
"Well, hello." Aria says with a smile.
"Aria what's going on? I couldn't get ahold of you I was extremely worried." Ezra says still talking at a really fast pace.
"I'm fine but I have some not so good news." Aria says through the phone already tearing up.
"On no." Ezra says already knowing what she's going to say he hears Aria sniffle. "Aria, not again?" he continues.
"Yes, again why did I ever think after Leah would be different? Everyone knew that she was a miracle baby." Aria says stopping in between each word to breath.
"Are you still up at the hospital?" Ezra asks.
"Spencer brought me up this morning. That's when they told me and then they let me go home. I was literally home for an hour and now I'm back up here." Aria tells him.
"Why did you go back?" He asks her.
"I was in a lot of pain." Aria tells him.
"Aria, I'm so sorry I wish I was up there with you. Do you want me to come up?" He asks her.
"No, that probably wouldn't be a good idea since Jason's up here now."
"Wait so that means he knows?" Ezra asks questionably.
"He knows that I was pregnant, but he doesn't know about me and you." Aria tells he the word 'was' stings her mouth as it comes out.
"Oh." Ezra says, Aria can hear him sigh and knows he's frowning on the other side of the phone.
"But hey, how about I come see you tomorrow night if I'm feeling better." Aria suggests.
"I'd like that." Ezra says. Just then Aria can hear Jason's voice coming from the hallway.
"Ezra I have to go." Aria says rushing.
"Okay, call me later?" Ezra asks her.
"Maybe." Aria says right before she pushes the little red 'X', once again cutting off his 'I love you.'
Jason walks back into the room along with Dr. Sampson. "Alright Aria, we just have to do one more ultrasound, this time of your back and then your free to eat." Dr. Sampson tells her.
Aria leans back and lifts up her shirt. "Can you lean over on your left side for me?" The doctor asks her. Aria does as she's told and turns over. Just then, there's a faint little pumping noise coming from the monitor behind Aria. "Well look at that. Who would have thought?" The doctor says continuing to click buttons on the monitor keyboard.
"What is it?" Aria says confused.
"Well, Mrs. DiLaurentis it appears that what was once twins is now just one baby." The doctor continues.
"Wait, so I didn't lose my baby?" Aria asks.
"It seems that you were pregnant with twins but you were so early along and as you can tell baby B was all the way back here." The doctor tell Aria while pushing on her lower back with her fingers. "You did miscarry baby A, and that's the one that we saw earlier in your ultrasound."
"So, she still pregnant?" Jason cuts in.
"Yes, very much so. Baby B already seems stronger than baby A was, and it also appears that baby B is further developed than baby A was. That is extremely rare, you guys got yourselves a miracle." The doctor tells him with a chuckle.
"Oh my gosh, honey were going to have another baby." Jason says ecstatically jumping up to kiss Aria. Aria smiles but she's in shock and all she can think is 'wait so is this baby Ezra's or is it in fact Jason's?'
