Chapter 6-

Aria POV:
I started down at my phone. What should I say?

Aria: No problem. Clara is a lovely girl.

Ezra: Thanks, she loves you already, you know. When we got home, all she could talk about was you. She also made a few remarks about you and I. I think we have a little matchmaker on our hands ;)

Aria: Haha, she's too adorable. But, what are we going to do if or when she finds out? I honestly have no idea. The reason I went along with this all is because I couldn't bear to see her disappointed. If you couldn't tell by tonight, I really am loving our "daughter" :D

Ezra: You're not alone; I'm also worrying about what we should do. But it's only been one day into this. Let's just enjoy it and have fun. When the time comes, we'll figure it out.

Aria: Thanks Ezra, I forgot how you always seem to know exactly what to say :)

Ezra: Welcome. Anything for you. I mean...well...oh god, I'm rambling. What I'm trying to say is; besides Clara, we have to talk about us. I still love you, Aria. And I have a hunch that the feeling is mutual.

Aria: Please, Ezra not now. If you must know, you're right, I still have feelings for you. And seeing you again, and spending time with you and our "daughter" has really ignited them. But I need to think. I'm still hurt by you leaving.

Ezra: But Aria...

Ezra POV:

I had just sent my last text, when I was replied quickly back by Aria.

Aria: Ezra, no. Not now. I really have to get some sleep; tomorrow's a school day, isn't it ;). Goodnight.

Ezra: Goodnight, Aria.

I subconsciously typed in 'I love you', but once I realized what I was doing, I quickly erased it.

I got up from my office desk, and went upstairs to check on Clara once more, before I went to sleep.

She was curled up in her full sized bed, which made her look smaller than usual. Her hair was splayed across her pillow and her favorite Ariel stuffed doll was clutched to her chest.

I walked over to Clara's sleeping form, and gave her a kiss on the forehead. She vaguely reminded me of what Aria looked like when she slept.

After knowing, she would be ok to sleep, I made my way into my room. With the exception of taking about 4 minutes to change, I collapsed into sleep the minute I walked in.

So, I know this is short, but don't worry, I'm already working on the next chapter, which will hopefully be up withing the day!

Enjoy and review!
