Here's another chapter hold on it's a big one.

Aria and Ezra returned back to California the next day ready to fight Dianne Fitzgerald. They had decided to move into Ezra's tiny apartment which did have two rooms, so Lila would be able to have her own room until they moved to New York. Both Aria and Ezra were both caught up on all of the work they had missed between Aria's wreck and the death of Matthew.

"Are you okay?" Ezra asked Aria when he walked into the living room of the apartment. It was late Monday night and Aria was sitting on the couch feeding Lila and it looked like she had been crying.

"No." Aria simply said as she wiped a tear that ran down her cheek.

"What's wrong?" Ezra asked as he sat down beside of her and turned her face to look at him.

"How could anyone say that I'm a bad mother? I've given everything for Lila and I love her more than anything. I know that it's my fault that she got hurt in the accident but I didn't mean for it to happen." Aria said as she ran her free hand through Lila's chocolate brown locks.

"First of all I want you to know that you are the world's greatest mother, you have sacrificed so much for Lila. Secondly it was not your fault that Lila got hurt in that accident, it was the driver that ran that red light's fault. You did nothing wrong in that accident and her being hurt; having that cast is in no way shape or form your fault." Ezra said as he wrapped an arm Aria, pulling her close and ran his other hand along Lila's arms. They baby who had no idea what was going on just gurgled in response.

"It's just scary to think that your mother wants to take her away from us. I can't let that happen." Aria said as she stood up to change and burp Lila. After she was done she laid her down in her crib and changed into her own nightclothes and made her way to her new bedroom. She got under the covers and pulled them up over as to hide her from the world.

"Aria, tell me what's wrong. I know that something more is bothering you." Ezra said as he came in and sat on the side of the bed.

"The thought of never seeing my baby again scares me." Aria said not looking back at Ezra.

"I won't let that happen sweetie." Ezra said as he laid a hand on Aria's side.

"You don't get it Ezra. If your mom does by some crazy chance take Lila away from us you will still get to see her. She will make sure of that. I on the other hand will be nobody. I'll just be that crazy lady that at one time was married to daddy." Aria said as she turned around and looked up at Ezra with tear filled eyes. Ezra just sat there completely shocked by what she had just said as the thought had never entered his mind.

"Aria, you and Lila re the most important things in my life and if I don't have the two of you then I have nothing. My mother will never take either of you away from me and I will make sure of that. She has no right to take her away from us and she won't. Your uncle will make sure of that along with every other person in your family." Ezra reassured her as he wiped her tears away. "Besides we are married now which I am sure my mother does not know which will put a damper on things for her." Ezra said with a smirk which made Aria laugh a bit.

"I just can't get the thought out of my head. The threat of my baby being taken away from me hurts more than anything. I just love her so much." Aria said as she pulled Ezra down so that he was lying beside of her and she was able to look into his eyes.

"Well stop worrying because nothing will happen to Lila. Once everyone knows what my mother did in lying to us both no one will believe any lies that she tried to tell people. Just close your pretty little eyes and let me hold you and get a good night's rest." Ezra said as Aria pulled him close and she felt his arms wrap around her.

"I love you Ezra." Aria said as she buried her head into his chest and could hear his heartbeat.

"I love you too." Ezra said and kissed her on top of the head.

&PLL&

Some hours later Ezra and Aria were awoken by the sound of Lila's wails. Ezra attempted to get up but was instead stopped by a kiss from Aria. Aria knew that Ezra had earlier classes then she did and she wanted him to sleep as long as he could. Aria sleepily made her way to the next room and walked in to see Lila crying. Lila's wails settled to whimpers and then to nothing once she was in Aria's arms.

"Now little missy you are going to start letting mommy and daddy sleep more because we have to get up and go to work and school." Aria cooed at the little girl who just stared at her and grabbed for her hair.

"Listen to your mommy." Aria heard Ezra say from the doorway.

"I wanted you to stay in bed. You have to get up a few hours earlier then I do and teach." Aria told Ezra as she walked over to him.

"Babe you don't have to do this alone anymore, I'm here for you." Ezra said as he took Lila from Aria.

"I know but I don't want you to be tired in the morning." Aria said as she sat down in the rocker in the corner of the room.

"Well it looks like we can both go to sleep now." Ezra said as he walked back over to Lila's crib and gently placed the sleeping baby in it. "Come let's go to sleep." Ezra walked over and put his arm around Aria and walked back to their room for the remainder of the night.

Around six Ezra's alarm went off and he got up to get ready for the day only to be interrupted by a fussy Lila. He made his way to her room quickly so she wouldn't wake Aria. Once he had reached the crib he picked her up and changed her and held her for a few more minutes staring into her deep blue eyes and admiring how much she looked like Aria. "Daddy has to go get ready for work now baby girl but I love you so much." Ezra said before he kissed her on the head and placed her back in her crib.

When he walked back into the room Aria was stirring in her place attempting to get out of bed. Ezra walked over and sat down beside her and gently tried to coax her back to sleep. She turned and looked up at him and smiled when he leaned down and kissed her.

"I thought I heard Lila crying?" Aria said as she looked up at Ezra.

"You did she just needed changed and daddy took care of everything and now she is asleep again so mommy needs to get some more sleep before she goes to school." Ezra said as he felt Aria hug his arm.

"I'm sad to have you leave I've been spoiled with my Ezra time these past few weeks." Aria said as Ezra bent down to kiss her once more.

"I'll be back this evening and then we can have the entire night to ourselves."

"Yeah too bad I'll be doing homework and you'll be grading papers." Aria pouted.

"At least we get to do it together." Ezra said and kissed one last time before getting up. "Get some more sleep I love you."

"I love you too." Aria said as she laid her head back down on her pillow and fell back into a deep sleep.

An hour and a half later Aria was once again awakened by Lila. She slowly made her way next door already knowing that Lila was hungry. She picked her up and situated her shirt and sat down in the rocking chair and Lila immediately began to eat.

"You were hungry weren't you?" Aria asked the little girl who ignored her and continued to eat. Aria ran her fingers through Lila's hair and admired how amazing her daughter was.

"Let's get you ready to go to grandma Myra's." Aria said as she got up to get Lila dressed and ready to go to Myra's while Aria went to school.

&PLL&

After a long day of classes Aria made her way to Myra's apartment. She still had some stuff there and was going to just relax until Ezra got done so he could pick her up and she wouldn't have to use Myra's car anymore.

"How's my baby?" Aria cooed at Lila who was lying on a blanket on the floor.

"She missed her mommy. Didn't you?" Myra asked Lila who smiled in response.

"Thanks so much for watching her; I really can't afford to miss anymore class." Aria said as she picked up Lila and sat down with her on the couch.

"Honey don't worry about it. You have had a very eventful few weeks and a new husband." Myra said with a smirk.

"Yeah it's still crazy to think about but I wouldn't take marrying Ezra back at all. I just wish his mother wasn't such a crazy lady and would just leave us alone." Aria told Myra truthfully.

"Honey the truth about everything will come out like it did between you and Ezra and she will get what is coming to her. Don't worry about it." Myra told and then went back to cooking.

About an hour later Aria was awakened by someone gently shaking her. She looked down to see Lila asleep on her chest clenching her shirt in her tiny hands. Ezra was kneeling next to her waiting for to wake up.

"Hey baby." Ezra said when she turned her head to look at him.

"Hey sorry I fell asleep." Aria said as she turned ever so slightly as not to disturb Lila who was still asleep.

"Hey I got a call from the police and they said that they think they have the person who hit you in custody." Ezra said as he moved a strand of hair from Aria's face.

"Really, I thought that they had given up on that." Aria said as she looked into his eyes.

"They did but then someone turned in the car and they confirmed that it was the one that hit you and they traced it back to the person who owned the car." Ezra told her and took Lila from her so she could sit up. "They want us to come down if we want to press charges."

"I do, if it was just me in the car I wouldn't care but that person hurt my baby and I can never forget that." Aria said as she stood up.

After they had gotten dinner with Myra, Aria and Ezra made their way to the police station. They left Lila with Myra as Aria wanted to do this without her in case she broke down or anything. Ezra parked in the parking lot and walked around to Aria's door and opened it up for her. They walked hand-in-hand towards the door and made their way to the front desk.

"Can I help you guys?" The woman officer asked at the front desk.

"Yes I'm Ezra Fitz and this is my wife Aria and we were called earlier saying that you had caught the person who hit Aria a few weeks ago." Ezra said as he felt Aria's hand tighten in his.

"Of course right this way." The officer led them down a small hall and to a room where someone was sitting at a table talking to what they assumed was their lawyer. Another officer came out and greeted them both.

"I want you guys to know that the person is not owning up to hitting the car and that it could take some time to get the charges to stick, but we have no doubt that she did it." The officer said as he led them to the doorway where Ezra immediately stopped.

"Mom?" Ezra asked as he looked up and saw Dianne Fitzgerald sitting down talking to her lawyer on the wrong side of the table.
