Previously:
They stepped forward together and Aria reached for the first test. "One..."
"Two..." Ezra said.
"Three." They said together, flipping over the test.
Chapter 15:
Aria and Ezra stared at the test, not sure what to say. Finally Ezra broke the silence.
"Holy crap." he said, holding Aria against him.
"I know, I can't believe it!" Aria said, pulling away so she could look at the other two tests. They said the same thing as the first. "One thing's for sure. We definitely need to be more careful." she said.
"Definitely!That was a close one." Ezra said, sighing in relief.
Aria took the three tests and stared at the minus signs one last time to convince herself, before she threw them out. She went back to Ezra and leaned into his chest.
"You okay?" he asked, wrapping his arms around her waist.
Aria bit her lip. "Yeah...I just, this may sound strange but, as scared and nervous as I was, I think part of me was excited. I mean, just the thought of our love making something so beautiful..." she trailed off.
"Don't worry, in a few years we'll have our own beautiful children." Ezra replied, sitting down on the bathroom floor and pulling Aria into his lap.
"Yeah, and we'll read to them and take them to the park, go to their school plays..." Aria said, smiling as she curled up against Ezra's chest.
"I can just picture a mini-Aria running around the house." Ezra said, chuckling. "She'll have your hazel eyes..."
"And your curly hair." Aria said, twisting a strand of Ezra's hair in her fingers.
"And your adorable laugh." Ezra said, tickling Aria.
"Ezra!" Aria squealed between her giggles. She grabbed his hands, stopping him mid-tickle and held them in hers. "You're going to pay for that." she said, smiling.
"Oh, am I?" Ezra said, raising his eyebrows. He pushed Aria playfully off his lap and stood up, picking her up and throwing her over his shoulder.
"Ezra! Put me down!" Aria shrieked, pounding on his back, still laughing.
Ezra laughed. "No, I think I'll just let you stay like this for a bit." he teased, stopping and just standing there.
"EZRA!"
Ezra started walking, stopping in front of the couch and lightly tossing a giggling Aria onto it. As soon as she fell, she scrambled up and wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling his face to hers in a passionate kiss.
When they finally broke apart, Aria's stomach grumbled.
"Someone appears to be hungry." Ezra teased, and chuckled as Aria blushed a deep scarlet.
"I didn't have time for lunch." she said embarrassed.
"How about I cook for you?" Ezra said.
Aria laughed. "I'm hungry but not that hungry."
"Miss Montgomery, are you implying that I can't cook?" Ezra said, a mock-hurt expression on his face.
"Maybe..." Aria said, smiling.
"Well, I'll just have to show you then!" Ezra said, a determined look on his face as he walked into the kitchen, pulling some things out of the fridge and cabinets. "Just give me half an hour and you'll taste the best spaghetti in the world!" Ezra exclaimed.
"If you say so." Aria said, rolling her eyes. She plopped down on the couch and got comfortable. She figured she might as well enjoy the show.
*PLL*
"Oh my God!" Aria exclaimed, taking a bite of the spaghetti. "This is delicious!" she exclaimed, not even hiding her surprise.
"Why does that shock you? I'm an excellent cook!" Ezra said indignantly.
"Of course you are...you know, if excellent cooks were known for burning their toast." Aria teased.
Ezra rolled his eyes, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth. "Burn toast once and you're labelled for life." he grumbled, laughing.
"Or seven times...in a row...but who's keeping track?" Aria teased.
"Hmph, just you watch! One day I'm going to be a better cook than you!" Ezra exclaimed.
"And until that day." Aria said. "I will make fun of your cooking." she said, laughing.
Ezra laughed too. "You might be able to make fun of my cooking, but at least I'm not the one who snores." he teased.
"I do NOT snore!" Aria exclaimed.
"Yes you do!" Ezra replied.
"No way!" Aria said.
"I'll prove it to you one day." Ezra said.
"And until then, I won't believe you." Aria replied.
"Fine by me." Ezra replied, finishing off his spaghetti and taking his own plate as well as Aria's to the sink and rinsing them. "How about a movie before bed?" he asked.
"Sure." Aria said, going towards the tv and picking up a stack of DVDs. She picked one up at random, popping it in and going to sit on the couch, waiting for Ezra to join her. When he did, she curled up against him and they started to watch the movie. Soon enough, Aria was asleep and Ezra pulled out his phone, recording her snores that echoed through the apartment.
I am never going to let her live this down. Ezra thought, smiling as her rhythmic breathing and the warmth of her body lulled him to sleep.
