The next morning, I wake up semi early. Ezra is already off to work before I'm even up, but he never disappoints me with a good morning kiss before he leaves. I can't believe they made him work today, it being such a special day and all. Luckily he'll be off in time to come by the shower after and help with all of the gifts. I begin to curl my luscious brown locks, being careful not to burn myself. Next, I apply simple makeup to my dainty face. Mascara, blush, eyeliner, the works. I decide on a red sundress that perfectly shows off my mini baby bump. I choose tan wedges and a black neck scarf to accompany the dress. I just figure that no one wants to see a 28-year olds neck hickeys. Ugh, Ezra's going to get a word from me later. I don't mind that they are there, but maybe neck time leave somewhere only him and I can see them.
Just there's a knock on the door, "Oh, Aria you look beautiful," my mom gloats as I open the door.
"It'll be just a second, I just have to grab my purse from the bathroom." I use my hand to signal towards her. As I step into the bathroom I notice a tube of red lipstick glistening from my makeup bag besides the sink. I grab it repulsively and slowly write on the vanity mirror. Knowing that he'll have to come home and change become he comes to the shower I write, 'Wear my favorite tie, I love you. –A'.
I grab my purse off of the back of the door, "Alright I'm ready," I say as I sling my purse over my shoulder.

"No way!" I scream as Emily, Hanna, and Spencer enter the small room.
"Surprise!" Emily says, as she places the large pink wrapped gift on the table.
"What? How?" I exclaim.
"Spencer called us, I mean I could say I am disappointed that you didn't tell us, but we forgive you. How's my new little niece?" Hanna says as she hugs me and then places her hand on my belly.
I give a glare to Spencer, and she's knows I'm mad at her for this, but I'm so happy they are here. "When did you guys get to town?"
Hanna talks my ear off, she left her son Theo with her mom since her husband Jordan couldn't come to Rosewood. Emily and Ali are staying at the Radley Hotel and their daughter Carly is with Ashley Marin also. Ali will be coming later, she had to do something with her dad for the first part of the day I guess. I'm shocked by how many people showed up. Even Mrs. Hastings is here despite her campaign.
After a couple games, of course Hanna won both of them, we eat cake and begin to open presents. I swear by the end of the gifts she's going to have enough clothes and diapers to last at least five years. After gifts, people mingle for a little while and then people start to drift off. The last ones there are Spencer, Hanna, Emily, Ali, and my mom. We are all cleaning up when suddenly there's a knock on the door.
"Come in." I yell.
Just then, Jason walks in with a small baby bathtub with a pink bow wrapped around it.
"I know that baby showers are a girl only kind of thing, but I wanted to stop by." Jason says. I freeze in shock, with my mouth open, but nothing comes out.
