Chapter 2:

Aria woke up in the morning to the ringing of Ezra's cell phone. Ezra hadn't woken up yet so Aria reached for the phone and picked it up.

"Hello?" she said groggily.

"Hello Aria." said a female voice on the other end.

"Dianne?" Aria asked.

"Yes. Where's my son?"

"Sleeping."

Dianne made a noise that could only be described as disapproval. "It's 10:00 for God's sake!"

"It's not his fault!" Aria said, immediately defensive. "Dais-he was up late marking." Aria silently cursed herself at her near slip-up. She had been about to say Daisy was crying throughout the night and Ezra had insisted on getting her every time so that Aria could sleep.

"That boy works too hard." Dianne said, seemingly missing Aria's mistake.

"Right, um, I'll tell him to call you back." Aria said.

"Very well." Dianne replied, hanging up.

"Goodbye to you too." Aria muttered under her breath as she buried her face in Ezra's chest and closed her eyes. It hadn't even been a minute when Daisy began to cry again. Aria got out of bed, when she felt Ezra's arm wrap around her waist.

"I got it." he mumbled sleepily into her hair.

"It's okay, I was already awake." Aria said. "Your mom just called."

Ezra groaned. Aria got up and picked her daughter up from her crib. She went back and sat down in bed, patting Daisy's back as she held her against her shoulder.

"What did she say?" Ezra asked, slowly sitting up.

"Not much, I told her you'd call her back. And Ezra?"

At the change of her tone, Ezra looked up, concerned. "Yeah?"

Aria bit her lip. "Please don't be mad at me but..."

"But what?" Ezra asked, trying not to show the fear that he felt. "What happened?"

"I...I almost mentioned Daisy to her." Aria said quietly, staring into her lap, her face a mask of guilt.

Ezra's face turned white. "What do you mean? Does she...does she know?"

Aria shook her head. "She was saying stuff about how you were sleeping in and I was almost told her that Daisy had been crying throughout the night, but I stopped myself and covered up by saying that you were up late with work."

Ezra didn't say anything for a moment.

"I'm sorry." Aria said quietly.

Ezra shook his head. "I'm not mad. You barely slept last night too, you weren't in your proper state of mind. The important thing is that you covered up. And don't worry, this will all be over soon anyway because I'm going to call her back right after breakfast and we're going to get this over with soon."

Aria smiled. "You know, maybe she'll be a good grandmother. I mean, nobody can hate their granddaughter right?"

Ezra shrugged. "Mom's a special case, she'd probably trade me and Wes for a sack of money. But it doesn't matter because Daisy has us, and she's got her aunts and uncles and her other grandparents that all love her."

Aria smiled. "You're right. No matter what happens with you're mom, our baby girl's going to be fine." she said, smiling down at her daughter, who was playing with her mother's necklace as her lips formed a smile.


"Okay. Yeah that's fine. Okay. See you then." Ezra hung up the phone and Aria stared at him questioningly.

"Tonight, 7:00, some restaurant called La Rose Rouge." Ezra supplied.

Aria nodded and went over to her closet. She sifted through the many outfits before sighing dramatically. "I don't have anything to wear."

Ezra laughed. "Seriously?"

Aria shook her head. "I don't joke when it comes to clothes."

Ezra went over to the closet and started looking through her dresses. A few moments later he pulled out a strapless lavender dress with a beaded neckline. "You look stunning in this one."

Aria examined it for at least a good five minutes before finally approving. Ezra smiled and wrapped his arms around her from behind, resting his head on her shoulder.

"Just for the record, you look gorgeous in anything you wear." he murmured before he kissed her shoulder, making his way slowly up to her neck. Aria moaned, relishing in the touch of Ezra's lips on her skin. She tilted her head back as Ezra made his way up her neck and to her lips. After a moment, she reluctantly pulled away.

"I have to give Daisy a bath." she said.

"It can wait." Ezra said, pulling her back to him.

Aria smiled apologetically. "Not if we want to be on time to meet your mother."

Ezra sighed before releasing his hold on her. Aria leaned forward and kissed his cheek.

"Don't worry, we'll finish this later." she whispered into his ear before going off to give Daisy her bath and then get ready for dinner.


"Ready?" Aria asked, squeezing Ezra's hand.

Ezra nodded. The truth was, he was actually extremely nervous, but he knew that he had to do this.

"Ezra, it'll be fine." Aria said, sensing his unease. "Remember what you said this morning."
"You're right. I have nothing to worry about." Ezra said, getting out of the car.

Aria smiled encouragingly at him.

"I'll text you when we're ready." Ezra said.

Aria nodded. "Sounds good."

Ezra shut the car door and headed inside to meet his mother.
