Ezra got home an hour late.

"Where have you been? You're gone almost everyday." She yelled

Ezra took a deep breath. " I'm sorry I had some things I needed to take care of." Madison didn't know about his daughter and he didn't know if he even wanted to tell her.

"What was so important that had you staying out so late?" she stood there waiting for an answer.

"Aria's back." She looked at him with sadness in her eyes. She knew Ezra loved her and it took her a long time to even get him to date her.

"Oh." Was all she could say?

"And we have a daughter."

This caused Madison to tear up, she knew with Aria being back she couldn't keep up especially with his child.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen."

"What does this mean for us?" she asked

Ezra stayed silent, he really didn't think of what would happen when he finally told Madison.

"I don't know." He said in a whispered voice

"Do you still love her?" she asked

Ezra didn't say anything just the look in his eyes said it all.

"I'll stay with a friend for a while. I just need sometime to think. " She couldn't stand being with Ezra knowing that she would probably end up leaving anyways.

"I'll call you." He told her

Madison grabbed a duffle bag and some clothes, shoes and her make up then walked out the door with Ezra staring at her back.

Ezra sat in the living room with his hands in head. He didn't think this would happen. He actually didn't think anything would happen. He loved Madison he just wasn't in love with her like he was with Aria.

"Morning sleepy butt!" Sophia woke up early and was too excited to go to the park. She was hanging out with Hanna too much and started talking like her.

Mike muffled out a groggily moan. "It's too early. The zoo isn't even open yet."

That didn't stop Sophia, she started tickling her uncle but he didn't laugh.

Mike knew she wasn't going to give up so he grabbed Sophia and brought her under the covers with him and covered her eyes with his hand. "Shh.. It's time to sleep. We can wake up later." He said

Sophia struggled getting out his arms and laughing at the same time. "Uncle Mikey we need to get weady to go to the zoo now."

Mike didn't move. And soon enough Sophia stopped moving and crossed her arms with a pouty face.

Mike opened one eye to see her little pout, which caused him to smile.

Sophia turned to face Mike, "Uncle Mike pwease get up." She begged

Mike opened his eyes, "fine how about we go eat some breakfast then get showered and dressed then well go pick Annabelle up and then head to the zoo." He compromised while trying to buy some time. It was only 8 in the morning and the zoo didn't open until 11.

"Fine." She said still pouting

"Now go downstairs and wait for me, I need to make sure Annabelle is up."

Sophia did as said so she could head to the zoo as soon as possible.

Mike pulled pout his phone and opened up a new text message to Annabelle, "Are you awake? Little ones woke up me up and is trying to get me to leave to the zoo now"

Not long after as Mike was getting up he had a text, "just getting up. Can't wait to spend time with Sophia. I miss her, she's too cute."

Annabelle has hung out with Sophia before but only at family events. Annabelle was also excited for the day because she would finally get to see how Mike is with a child and she knew they were close so she wanted Sophia to like her.

Mike replied with, " You don't miss me? I'm hurt."

Annabelle texted back quickly, "no, I just miss Sophia. :p"

Mike headed downstairs following the smell in the kitchen.

"MM.. Do I smell bacon, waffles and eggs?"

"Yeah, momma cooked for us." Sophia replied

"I think you two need a hearty breakfast and need to get your energy up." Aria replied

"Thanks Ar, I miss having a real home cook meal. Annabelle cooks but she's not that great." He said laughing a little

"Why don't you bring her around more often and I'll teach her a thing or two? She told him

"I think I'll take you up on that." He said

Aria placed three plates of breakfast down for the little family. "Here eat, I don't want you guys going out hungry. People would think I don't feed my family." She said jokingly but a little serious

Aria was just about to sit when her phone beeped. It was a message from Hanna.

"Hey Ar, what are you doing today? Come over later and have some girl time. Spencer and Emily already agreed. And bring my mini me. (: -HM"

"Hey, I have nothing planned for today, and I would love to have a girls day at your place. Be there around 12, and as for your mini me is going to the zoo with her uncle Mike and his girlfriend so she wont be going with. – AM"

Aria put her phone away and looked at Mike, " so how long with you guys be gone?"

"I don't know yet, why?" he replied

"Hanna texted me, she wants me to go over to her place for some girl time."

"Oh, go ahead we'll probably go shopping after the zoo." He told her

Aria raised her eyebrows at his comment. "Your going shopping?"

"Annabelle loves to shop and I love being with her." Mike replied

Aria looked at brother in awe. When they were younger and she wanted to go shopping he would never go with her. He hated shopping.

"You two must be very serious." She stated also question

"We've been together for a while. I really like her."

"Do you love her?" Aria asked

"I don't know?" he said he really didn't know if he was in love or not. He felt like he might but he wasn't exactly sure.

Mike got up and grabbed his plate and placed it in the sink. "I need to get ready."

Sophia saw her uncle leaving and shuffled the rest of the food into her mouth.

"I'm done too mommy." Aria laughed at her daughter's action

'Okay why don't we get you in the tub and ready for the zoo." Sophia ran up the stairs with Aria not far behind.

After a quick bath Aria put Sophia's hair in a fishtail braid swept to the side with a cream colored dress that poofs out at the bottom and had a black belt around the waist with ankle boots on.

It was now 2 hours later and Mike was dressed in a khaki shorts with a grey tee shirt and gray chucks on.

"Lets go alweady!" Sophia begged

"I'm coming, the zoo isn't even open yet." He told the anxious little girl

Mike carried Sophia in arms walking out to the car.

It was now 10 and Aria in need of a shower herself. 30 minutes later she was out of the shower doing her make up with a towel on she didn't want to mess up her clothes. Aria let her curls hang loose and wore a loose white shirt with a collar tucked into her high waist jeans with one feather earring on and a pair of white gladiator sandals giving it an Aria touch.

It was 1130 and Aria was finally getting out of the house. Arriving in minutes at the brew coffee shop Aria of course needed her coffee fix. Walking in she ordered 4 lattes and 4 croissants to go. After ordering she sat on a stool waiting. Ezra was sitting in the back but managed to see her. He got up and walked over to her.

"Hey Aria."

"Hello Ezra, how was your morning?" she asked politely

"Good so far, I was just sitting here drinking coffee and reading To Kill a Mockingbird.. again."

Aria laughed she herself have read the book more than she could count.

"So what are your plans for today? Sophie's with Mike today right?" He asked even though he already knew the answer.

"Yes she is with Mike and I'm actually heading to Hanna's, girls day." Ezra looked a little disappointed

"That's actually my order, I gotta go. See you around." Aria felt awkward being with Ezra alone. She wanted to jump into his arms and kiss him but she couldn't be the other woman. It wasn't fair to herself.

Just like that she was getting her drinks and food and was heading out the door. Ezra caught up to her.
"Have dinner with me Friday night? He hoped she would say yes

"I don't know Ezra, I don't think that's such a good idea."

"Please it's just one night, as friends." He said

Aria hesitated, " fine. Just as friends."

Ezra knew he didn't want to have dinner as just friends but he wanted her to say yes.
