"It was like us again, before he left me. We didn't argue not once. We just talked and laughed and enjoyed each other's company. If Sophia wasn't there I swear it could've been a date. I like it, I miss it." Aria told her friends who came over the next morning to gossip about their lives.
"Your like Daisy and Gatsby, your made for each other. Life pulls you away from one another then brings you back and one of you is taken by another hand but still you're pulled back like a magnet minus the death." Hanna explained in her Hanna way.
The three girls looked at Hanna surprised.
"What?" Hanna asked
"We're just surprised you read the book." Spencer said
"I didn't, I watched the movie." Hanna said causing the girls to all laugh
"So where is my little princess at?" Emily asked looking around for the little brunette
"She's with her Wes and Ezra, they wanted to spend the day with her." Aria trusted them but she always worried when Sophia wasn't with her.
"Sounds like daddy Fitz is doing great." Hanna asked while looking through Aria's clothes
"He's trying. He's actually been good, he's been here everyday for a week now. He makes sure she eats, bathes her, reads her a bedtime story, takes her to school, the park wherever."
"How does his girlfriend feel about all of this?" Spencer wondered since it seemed like he's never gone home.
"She's.. they broke up." Aria said trying to hide her excitement
The girls didn't say anything.
"Why don't we order Chinese food and watch a movie. I'm starving." Hanna said trying to break the silence in the room.
"Sounds great, you call and I'll grab the movies. Great Gatsby anyone?" Aria said with a small giggle
"Daddy where are we going?" Sophia said holding onto his neck as he carried her.
"We're going to meet up with uncle Wes and uncle Mike to see a baseball game."
"Baseball's for boys." Sophia said with a pout, clearly not amused with the plan for the day.
"Girls like baseball too sweetie. And I'm sure you'll like it." He told her while tickling her tummy trying to turn her frown upside down
"Nuh uh! Only boys like baseball. The boys at school were baseball shirts not girls." She argued, arguing with Sophia was like arguing with a wall. You never win.
"Okay, how about we make a deal. If you don't like baseball after we finish the game then I will never take you to baseball game again. He tried negotiating
"I want to go shopping instead." Sophia learned to negotiate by watching Caleb and Hanna arguing. Hanna always getting her way
"Deal." Sophia stuck her pinky out signaling they had to pinky promise the deal, Ezra obliged.
Ezra wore a baseball Phillies tee with a Phillies cap and got the same for Sophia to match him. It took 'em a 10 minute walk to get to the stadium from the parking lot. Mike and Wes had arrived 15 minutes earlier then them.
"How's my little princess?" Mike said reaching for Sophia
"I don't like baseball it's for boys." She said crossing her arms
Wes looked at Sophia and reached for her, "come to your favorite uncle, baseball is for boys and girls. Look around princess there's girls here too."
Sophia looked around and noticed some women and little girls waiting excitedly in line.
Mike didn't push back the favorite uncle comment.
"Sophie, I'm your favorite uncle right. So you can sit next to me." Mike didn't want to lose
Ezra laughed to himself seeing the uncles being childish.
Sophia looked at both uncles, "I can sit next to you and uncle Wes and daddy." She answered
The guys didn't argue, she was just to cute to fight with.
"Sounds good, but I'm your favorite right?" Wes whispered in her ear while checking to see if Mike was looking.
"You're my favorite and uncle Mike." She said pointing to Mike
15 minutes later they waited in line and finally were off to their seats.
Mike, Wes and Ezra were practically jumping out of their seats yelling and cheering.
Sophia on the other hand thought it was and funny and started copying the grown men. Mike caught the ball and handed it to Sophia.
"Now you will remember this day forever."
Sophia smiled and held the tight not letting it get out of her sight. She still didn't understand baseball but she loved spending time with her dad and uncles
20 minutes before the game ended Sophia was fast asleep in Ezra's arms still holding the ball.
"I think someone is worn out from today." Eyeing the little one in his arms.
"Yeah we all should. Today was fun. We should do it again just the guys though." Mike said walking back towards Ezra.
"Guys night my place Friday." Wes said before he was lost in the crowd headed towards his car with Mike behind. Ezra agreed, he enjoyed being with the guys for a change but would have more fun if he didn't have to babysit. Not that he didn't like spending time with Sophia but he needed a guys night as much as the girls had their girls night out.
"Sounds like a plan." He called out
