Read, Enjoy, and Review :D

Ezra POV:

A week had passed since Aria moved in and agreed to be my fiancee. Ever since last Saturday, the world had seemed a bit brighter than before. The night it happened was completely blissful, and the morning after was too. Clara was estatic about the news.

My entire family was settled in my parents living room. It was obvious to my parents about what happened last night; the could see Aria's ring and noted our happy demeanor. Clara, on the other hand, saw the ring and asked Aria if she could try it on.

"Actually sweetheart, this ring is very important," said Aria, pulling Clara into her lap.

"Why? It's just a ring. Can I please wear it," whined Clara. Aria looked over to me and I nodded in confermation.

"Well, Clara. Daddy gave me this ring to show that we're getting married," said Aria taking my hand.

"You mean we're going to be a real family," asked Clara, excitedly clapping her hands together.

"Who says we weren't in the first place," I asked placing a kiss on her cheek.

"It's going to be much more official now, Daddy," she said happily and wrapped Aria and I into a hug between her small little arms. This was how life was going to be from now on, and I was sure as hell, excited for it.

"I think this earns a big breakfast," said Mom and Dad, beaming from their spots on the opposite couch.

The week had passed by quickly. All of our closest friends and families were notified, each of them over the moon with our news.

In Aria and my living room sat Hanna, Lucas, Spencer, Toby, Emily, Greg, and Aimee (who had been properly introduced to the rest of the gang).

"We have some important news," said Aria, who was holding my hand, and smiling up at me with such love and passion that was it was near to impossible not to smother her lips with mine right then and there.

"Well," I continued for Aria. "Last weekend, after Aria moved in, we went to Coney Island, and had a fantastic time. The new park is amazing, and..."

"This can't be all you had to tell us," said Greg. "Going to Coney Island is hardly big news."

"Nice," said Hanna, giving him a high five. The two had immediately bonded over sarcasm.

"If you let me finish, I could get to the point. What I was trying to say is, Aria and I are getting married," I exclaimed, bringing my lips down to hers.

"I knew it," shouted Spencer. "I told you Toby, didn't I?"

"Yes, Spencer, you did," said Toby laughing and gave her a peck on the cheek. And then celebration was let loose.

"Mom, Dad? You're on speaker with Ezra and I," said Aria talking into her phone. She seemed to be eternally smiling this week, and her smile caused butterflies in my chest.

"Yeah honey, we're here," said Ella.

"What's it that you have to tell us," asked Byron, and I could detect the growing anticipation in his voice, while Ella remained patient.

"EzraandIaregettingmarried," Aria said in one big rush. She was more nervous about her parents reaction than mine.

"What's that, Aria," said both her parents, laughing. I knew there that there was no need for her to be nervous, her parents understood and weren't angry.

"I think what my fiancee is trying to say, is that we are getting married," I covered for Aria.

"Yes," exclaimed a voice, only to be known as Mike's.

"Holy crap, Mike! Where did you come from," I heard Byron say detachedly.

"Congratulations," exclaimed Ella, and we heard similar chimes from Mike and Byron in the background.

I had planning a surprise engagement party all week with Emily, Hanna, and Spencer. Since Emily was now working at Columbia, we had the same lunch break, and called the other girls to meet for lunch for discussion. So far, everything was in order. We were having it in the back of Aria's favorite restaurant. I would be taking her, saying we were going out for dinner. My parents and Vera were going to be taking Clara to the restaurant, and everyone would meet there. I even got Ella, Byron, and Mike to fly up, which made me feel pretty triumphant. At 9, the family plus Clara would leave, allowing the night to be shared by the young adults.

It was close to the time we had to be at the restaurant when Aria emerged from the stairs wearing a navy lace dress that hugged her every curve and black high heels that made her legs look amazing. (outfit on website)

"You looks GOOD," I said, pressing my lips against hers.

"Thanks,"she replied. "You don't look half so bad yourself," she joked, smiling.

"Lets go," I said taking her hand, and leading her out onto the city streets.

"Surprise," yelled everyone when we got into the restaurant, and Aria started to tear up.

"Mommy! Happy Engagement," yelled Clara, and ran across the floor.

"Thanks, Baby," said Aria, picking up Clara and giving her a kiss.

"Daddy planned all of this with Auntie Emily, Auntie Hanna, and Auntie Spencer," said Clara happily.

"You did all of this," asked Aria.

"Yeah, are you happy," I asked, unsure of her answer.

"Of course. I love you," she said, giving me a kiss, and I felt someone snap a photo. We all turned around to see Vera holding her camera, looking guilty.

"I have to capture every moment," she said smiling and showed us the pictures of Aria's entrance.

"I've known Aria for a long time," said Hanna giving her speech as we all sat down. "And when she wants something, she goes for it and doesn't stop until she gets it. And she wanted you, Ezra, and she got you. We now all know what trials and tribulation you two went through to get here today, so Ezra, don't screw it up, or I'll have to hurt you," she said with a smile and sat down, motioning to Emily to start with her speech.

"I remember at first, I was a little uneasy with your relationship, but after Aria kept going on, and on, and on about how much she loved you, I decided otherwise. I'm so unbelieveably happy for you two. Take good care of her," she finished and nudged Spencer so she could start. Aria already had tears in her eyes.

"I wish you two every happiness in the world. You're soulmates, and its now pretty obvious to everyone how made you two are for each other. Plus, you're old student/teacher relationship was hot," Spencer joked, which made Aria give her a death glare. "Don't give me a death glare Aria, you know you love me. Anyways, I love you both."

"I have something to say," said Clara, who stood up on her chair with a small piece of paper. It was a shock to all of us when she began reading. "Mommy and Daddy, I'm so...happy...that you two are get-ting married," she started taking her own time and trying to sound out words. My eyes began to tear; this was the first time she ever read something on her own. "I didn't have a Mommy for awhile, and I'm...so...glad that we ff-ound you. I love you both so much aa-and I'm happy that we can no bee-come a official family."

Aria was now crying and wrapped Clara up into her arms, craddling her. "I'm so proud of you baby," she said kissing her hair. "I love you so much." She then passed Clara to me and I squeezed and planted a kiss on her nose. I had an easier time hiding my tears, but a few of the shed as I gave Clara another kiss, and told her I loved her.

The family had finally left, and the rest of us were dancing and drinking and having a good time. Aria was off dancing with the girls, while Toby, Lucas, and I kicked back with a few beers, watching them. I was still amazed to this day at how beautiful Aria was. I saw her go over and order another shot, and I remembered I was supposed to keep tabs on how much she drank. We didn't want a repeat of when I got drunk. The guys and I walked up to where the girls were, Lucas and Toby going to dance with the respective partners, and I wrapped my arms around Aria's waist as she downed another shot.

"Ezzy," she yelled, when she felt my arms around her.

"Aria, how many drinks have you had," I asked wearily. Here we go.

"This many," she said holding up 6 fingers.

"Holy shit, Aria, no more," I said, holding her back from going back to the bar to order another shot. I stayed by her side the entire night, making sure she didn't do anything she would regret in the morning. On the other hand, Aria was quite entertaining when tipsy.

"Ezra," she said with wide eyes. "You're biceps are huge," she slurred, running her hands over them.

"Umm, thanks," I said laughing. It was now just Aria and I off in the corner. The rest of the gang had understood the situation and were still off having fun. Emily was talking to some blonde woman, who I learned to be Samara, one of her past girlfriends from Rosewood, and Spencer, Toby, Lucas and Hanna were dancing.

I felt Aria's lips crash onto mine, and her hands went to my tie, trying to undo it. She started to straddle my torso, but I lifted her off. Don't get me wrong, I loved the sensation, but this was certainly not the right place and time.

"Aria, I think it's time we leave," I said scooping her up.

"But, Ezzy, whyyy?"

"Because it's time to go home." I silently thanked God that Clara wanted to sleep over Vera's tonight. "Come on," I said as I carried her to the front. I said goodbye to everyone, and hailed a cab to take us home.

Aria POV:

I woke up the next morning, feeling as though a hammer was hitting me on the head.

"Oww," I moaned, sitting up. There was Ezra, propped up on his side laughing.

"What's so funny," I asked, mocking anger that he was making fun of my pain.

"You. Do you not remember 'Oh Ezra, you're biceps are huge'?"

"No," I grumbled, sipping the water and swallowing the Advil he had so graciously left on my nightstand. "Anyways, it's not nice to make fun of those who have hangovers."

"You should of thought about that before you made fun of mine," Ezra said, and started to tickle me. I started to laughing uncontrollably, and then sprang up from the bed.

"I'm going to take a shower, and you're not invited this time," I said running to the bathroom. Ezra got up and started to chase after me, but I shut the door just in time, and started to laugh.

"I'll make it up to you, I promise," I shouted as I stepped into the warm water.

"I'll hold you to that," he said from the other side of the door.

"Love you," I called and started to laugh again as the water started to soothe the massive pounding going on in my head.
