He wrapped his strong arms around my not so petite waist. I held my hands against neck and kissed him. We have been through so much stress lately we needed each other. He slid his tongue inside of my mouth, very much like when we made this baby that day in his office. I pulled away from him and smiled up at him. He looked so perfect right now. His hair was messy and he was wearing nothing but boxer shorts. I leaned my head on his bare chest and hugged him.
"You know I love you, and our son right?" He said.
"mhhm" I mumbled back not wanting to let go of him.
"Then I don't know why you keep bringing up adoption." He says. I froze. I was looking into adoptive families, but that didn't mean I was giving up my son.
"Well, maybe Dr. Miller was right." I said.
"Right about what?"
"I am 17 Ezra. I should be having a fun Summer break before my senior year, not staying home and going to Doctor's appointments."
"Babe, you can still have all that." He said letting go of me. "I know how hard this is for you, and I want to do everything I can for you and our baby."
"I know you are. I am not giving up our son for adoption. I just wanted to look at some families. How are we going to afford this baby?"
"Let's not forget I have a full time job as a college professor. We tend to make a little more than average" Ezra says. "I think you have been watching too much Teen Mom on TV" He says to me. I laugh.
"You're right. I see how those girls struggle. And I don't want to struggle like that." I say.
"We're not like them Aria. I'm not going to be one of those stupid dads who leave their babies and girlfriend. We have money, a house, and 2 loving parents. Please don't take this baby away from me." He says pleadingly. I look up at him and see his eyes water. I take my hands and wipe the tears away.
"There is no way in hell I am giving up my son." I say.
"Promise me?" He says with his watery eyes looking down on my.
"Promise." Then we both go back to kissing each other.
*Ding Dong*
This was it. Dinner was ready, everything was ready. I haven't been this nervous in a long time. Ezra's father was coming over for dinner.
"I'll get it" Ezra says. He is running down the stairs wearing a white button down shirt, black jacket, and a red tie. His hair was straightened out and he had just freshly shaved. It looked like he wanted to make a good impression on his dad, because things with his mom didn't go too well. Ezra runs and opens the door to be greeted by all tall man, the splitting image of Ezra. He had the same blue eyes and curls.
"Hi dad!" Ezra says. He has the biggest smile on his face and gives him a hug.
"Hi son! It's good to see you! Where's this girlfriend of yours?" I walk over to the boys and see them. "Is this her? She's a good one" he whispers loudly to Ezra. "A gift, for the lovely lady" Jackson says to me. He hands me a bouquet of flowers.
"Thank you Mr. Fitz" I say.
"Jackson. Please call me Jackson!" He says.
"I'll go put these in water I say." I turn to walk away and place the flowers in water. I walk back in and see Ezra and Jackson sitting on the couch. I don't walk in right away, but i stay behind and watch them. It puts a smile on my face. One day I hope Ezra and our son can talk like this. Ezra always told me he was close with his dad.
Ezra POV
"Is that true Ezra? She was your student?" My dad asks me.
"Yes"
"How did you two even manage to spend time together?"
"It wasn't easy dad. Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays after school. Saturdays and Sundays. We would eat takeout and watch movies."
"So you took the job at Hollis to be with her."
"Yes dad. I am asking you, please be ok with us together. I know there is an age difference but I love her"
"Why wouldn't I be ok with you two? Just because there is an age difference?"
"Mom wasn't very supportive of us" I said.
"Well I am." I smiled it means so much to me to have my dad be so supportive. I look up and see Aria standing smiling. I signal for her to come over. She comes over and sits next to me.
"Dad, this is Aria. My fiancé." I say.
"Aria, it is so nice to finally meet you" Jackson says to Aria.
"Its nice to meet you too." Aria says.
"Dad, we also have some news for you. We're having a baby! It's a boy!" I say. Aria puts her hands on her belly to show Jackson.
"I am so happy for you!" My dad says to me.
Aria POV
I let out a sigh when Jackson said he was happy for us. I am relieved that he is supportive of us.
"When is this baby coming?" Jackson asks.
"February" Ezra says.
"Well this gives me an excuse to see you more!" Jackson says. "I'm only in Philly, you need to come see me more!"
"Don't worry dad. You are welcome to come here any time!" Ezra says.
"What are you going to name this baby?" Jackson says.
"I like Benjamin, but Ezra likes David." I say.
"They both go together well. Benjamin David, or David Benjamin." Jackson says.
"We'll think about it." Ezra says.
*Ding* The sound of a timer goes off.
"Dinner's ready" I say getting up and walking into the kitchen. I look back and see Ezra and Jackson smiling at each other. I can't help but to smile too.
I cuddled close to Ezra on our bed. I had my head resting on his chest, and his arms wrapped around me. We lay close enough making sure there was no space in between us. I close my eyes to just take in what was surrounding me.
"Ezra. Promise me something" I say.
"Anything" He replies.
"Promise me you will never cheat on me" I said.
"Why would I ever do that?" He says.
"Both your parents cheated on each other, and my dad cheated on my mom and"
"Hey." He says looking into my eyes. "Those were our parents. I won't do anything to ever hurt you."
"Promise me?" I say.
"Promise." He says while kissing my hand. Then we both go back to cuddling, and enjoying each other's company.
