Chapter 11-
Ezra POV:

"Jackie," Aria asked. "As in Jackie Molina?"

"Is there any other?"

Jackie Molina was my ex-fiancée from college whom I had proposed to in Italy. Aria found out about her after seeing a photo on us both on my Facebook page (which she came by by accident after knocking open my laptop). I was startled at first when Aria brought the subject up, but I later explained the story and assured her that he didn't love Jackie anymore. Which was true, I hadn't even thought about Jackie until Aria brought her up that night. Aria was and still is my world along with Clara.

I then had a brief stint teaching at Hollis, but found out at Aria's dad's faculty mixer that Jackie would be working along side me. That caused a fight between Aria and I. We moved on though and I started his new job. I quit though, after 4 months when Jackie wasn't getting the hint that I wasn't interested anymore. My resignation lead him back to working at Rosewood Day, until I left.

"Why would she be here, in New York, and at the American Girl store of all places," Aria asked. I quickly looked down to Clara who was much too absorbed in the dolls and clothing the pay attention.

"She's moved to the city. She got a new job, at a publishing firm." I inwardly groaned. Jackie's immediate reaction at seeing me again was flirty one, even after I told her about Clara and Aria. One thing about Jackie; she wants what she wants and will do anything to get it despite the circumstances.

"But why would she be at a doll store?"

"Her niece's birthday."

"Oh," concluded Aria, or so I thought. "Did she ask why you were here?"

"Yeah. I told her I was here to get something for my daughter. And that she and her mother were downstairs. But, as you know, that didn't stop Jackie from making dinner plans to 'catch up' with me."

I looked at Aria uncertainly until she replied, "If you want to have dinner with her, you can go ahead. I won't be angry. Remember Ezra, we aren't necessarily a 'couple' yet."

"But I want to be one, and if having dinner with Jackie is going to jeopardize it, I won't go."

"Ezra, "she said looking straight into my eyes, and seemed to lose her self for a second and then recomposed herself. "If you think it's the right thing to do, then go. I won't be upset," she finished smirking and giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Daddy," said Clara who was now watching us, seeming to have grown tired of shopping. "Can we go home?"

"Sure sweetheart," I said. Aria picked her up and we made our way back down to the first floor. But of course before we could head towards the exit I heard Jackie's familiar voice call out, "Ezra!"

Aria and I spun around at the sound of my name. Jackie pushed her way in our direction and finally was standing directly in front of us. Her arms were laden with shopping bags, not only from this store, but from others.

"Is this the rest of you beautiful family," she asked in her sickly sweet voice she always used for meeting new people. Jackie looked from myself to Aria, and then to Clara who had fallen asleep against Aria's shoulder.

"Yes, this is Aria Montgomery, my girlfriend, and our 5 year old daughter Clara." Jackie's face seemed to grow even happier as I introduced Aria as my girlfriend and not my wife.

"It's nice to meet you Jackie," said Aria amicably.

"I hope you don't mind my stealing Ezra away for a night to catch up," stated Jackie, putting her hand a little too close to my bicep.

I saw jealousy flash though Aria's eyes, and gave a soft chuckle. She took my hand, practically shaking Jackie's hand of my arm and said, "Not at all. I believe it's always a good idea to catch up with someone you haven't seen in a long time. But, I think it's time to take Clara home, don't you think so to, Honey?"

"Absolutely, she's already passed out," I replied. "Did we get her everything we wanted to though, Baby," I said using an endearing term I used to call her all the time. I brushed a loose strand of hair out of her face. I quickly stole a glance to look at Jackie, who had a bewildered look on her face, but as soon as she saw me looking, recomposed herself.

"Well, we better get going. It was nice to see you Jackie. I'll call you later to talk about dinner plans."

"Goodbye," Aria called as we walked out the door.

Aria POV:

It started to rain once we got back to Ezra's townhouse. Clara had woken up, and was now sitting in the living room, with her Rebecca doll all dressed up in the new pink outfit I had bought and playing with the little kittens that also went along with her doll, which was Ezra's surprise for her.

Ezra and I were sitting on the couch, watching a re-run of "The Office" until I got up to get my phone, which had buzzed.

Spencer: Movie and wine at your place tonight?

I had totally forgot about Spencer and my Saturday night tradition of take out, a chick-flick, and red wine. I was content sitting on the couch, bundled up under a blanket with Ezra and watching Clara play happily with her doll, but I couldn't do that to Spencer. I quickly texted her back.

Aria: Your place. It was at mine last weekend.
Spencer: Ok, be there at 6.

It was 5:00 now. I had to go.

"Ezra, I've got to go home. Spencer and I have this movie tradition tonight."

"Couldn't you pass this one time? You could stay for dinner and sleep over again," he bribed.

"As enticing as that sounds, I can't. I'm sorry. Goodbye," I said leaning over to kiss him on the cheek. I leaned down to give Clara a kiss goodbye. She then got up onto the sofa and snuggled into Ezra. I gave them one last smile, gathered my things, and left.

"And after we ran, we had a picnic in the park. It was so sweet and romantic. And he told me he missed me, and we kissed, and then just hung out for the rest of the day," gushed Spencer about her afternoon with Toby. We were sitting on the floor of her apartment, near a coffee table which had our wine glasses set atop of it. Spencer's apartment was slightly bigger than my own, but I had chosen the smaller apartment. Hers was also a lot more pristine and crisp looking then mine, with its sunny light yellow walls.

Spencer never got this excited about a guy, so it was quite amusing to watch. "So," she said. "How was your day with the Fitz's," she asked in a singsong voice.

"It was good," I replied, filling her in on today's events including Jackie, who had sent me into a frenzy. "I swear I could've gauged her eyes out the minute I saw her suggestively put her hand on Ezra's bicep. Not his arm, his bicep," I concluded.

"Calm down, Aria. Or do we need to start calling you 'Killer' like Emily?"

"Nah, I'll be fine. I'm just paranoid because she almost destroyed Ezra and I during the last go-around. What if she ruins our chances at ever being together again?"

"I highly doubt Ezra would let that happen."

We moved off the subject and Spencer popped the quintessential chick flick, "My Best Friend's Wedding into the DVD player. We paused the movie halfway through, so Spencer and I could change. I quickly ran over to my apartment across the hall and changed into navy boy shorts and a loose grey tee shirt, also making sure to have grabbed a box of chocolates, and scurried back.

Spencer was already settled back on her beanbag in a matching green polka dotted ensemble, and we continued where we left off. After the movie was finished, I took Spencer's white couch, while she took the bed.

I didn't fall asleep until after I had received Ezra's text.

Ezra: Goodnight Aria. You may not be awake to see this text, but don't worry about Jackie. I miss having you in my arms tonight. I love you.

Uh-oh...Jackie! And Ezra...his text...it was such a cute idea, I couldn't help myself!

So there's chapter 11 folks! Hope you enjoy and review!
