Chapter 6:
"It's official!" Ezra exclaimed, taking her into his arms. "Aria, we're having a baby!"
"I can't believe it!" Aria said, smiling ear to ear. She cupped Ezra's face in her hands and pressed her lips against his.
"I love you so much." Ezra murmured. All of a sudden, he picked her up and started spinning her around. Aria shrieked gleefully and held onto Ezra's neck tight. They continued to spin around until Ezra became dizzy and fell backwards onto the bed with Aria in his arms, both of them laughing hysterically. Aria turned her body around so she was lying on top of Ezra with her face right in front of his. She reached one of her hands out and ran it through his soft curls.
"I wonder what our baby's going to look like." Aria wondered aloud.
"I'm sure he or she will be beautiful." Ezra said. "Just like their mommy."
"Or handsome like their daddy." Aria replied. "Are you hoping for a boy or a girl?"
"It doesn't matter as long as their healthy." Ezra said truthfully. "I would be happy with any."
Aria nodded. "Me too. We need to book an appointment with my obstetrician." she said, reaching over Ezra to the night table where her phone was. She scrolled through her contacts until she found the obstetrician she had when she was having Daisy, she pressed Call and began talking to the receptionist, booking her appointment. A few minutes later she hung up and turned to Ezra again, who was on his phone, texting someone.
"We're set for Wednesday at 6." she notified him.
"Great." Ezra said, getting to his feet. He held his hands out to Aria and pulled her up with him.
"What are we doing?" she questioned.
"We're going to drop Daisy off at your parents place and then you and I are going out to dinner." Ezra replied.
Aria smiled. "I like the sound of that. Let me just ask mom if she's free."
"Already taken care of." Ezra said, showing her his phone, where he'd already asked Ella and she'd replied that it was totally fine with her.
"Wow, you work fast."
"I know."
"This is so nice." Aria said, sitting on the park bench with her head rested on Ezra's shoulder. They had decided to go for a walk after their dinner and were currently sitting on a bench near the playground.
"You know, we still have to have that park day with my mom and Wes." Ezra reminded her.
"Oh yeah! I completely forgot about that!" Aria said, smacking her forehead. "How about tomorrow evening?"
Ezra nodded. "I have a class until 3 so how about 4:30ish?"
"Perfect!" Aria said.
"Great, I'll call them later and see if it's okay." Ezra responded.
Aria nodded as she released a loud yawn.
"Someone's tired." Ezra mused.
"I blame the little one. They're demanding a nap." Aria replied, rubbing her belly.
Ezra chuckled as he stood, offering Aria his hand. "Let's get you home."
Aria obliged, standing up and following Ezra to their car. As they drove to pick up Daisy, Aria felt her eyes getting heavy and, soon enough, she was asleep.
Aria woke up the next morning in her bed, with Ezra's arm wrapped loosely around her body and his face inches away from hers. She watched as he slept, his chest rising and falling as he breathed evenly. Occasionally, he would chuckle softly to himself, which made Aria smile and she started to giggle. Ezra's eyelids fluttered open and he looked up at her with his deep blue eyes.
"What's so funny?" he questioned, raising an eyebrow.
"Nothing." Aria replied, giggling. "You're cute."
Ezra looked at her, confused clear I'm his face.
"You were laughing in your sleep." she explained.
Ezra chuckled. "It's better than snoring." he recalled, referring to the night she'd met Hardy and he'd told her a story about Ezra laughing in his sleep.
"It is." she replied, planting a kiss on his cheek. "It's adorable."
"Like you." Ezra replied, pushing a stray lock of hair out of her eyes.
Aria smiled as a blush tinted her cheeks. However, before she could respond, the sound of Daisy's cries sounded from the next room. Aria got up and was almost out the door when Ezra called her back. She turned around in the doorway.
"Yeah?"
"We're on for the park this afternoon with mom and Wes. You can call the girls if you want, and maybe your family? Have a little party in the park?" Ezra proposed.
Aria smiled. "Sure. I'll call them after breakfast." She turned back to leave, when she stopped and turned around again. "Speaking of breakfast..." she looked at him with a pleading smile.
"I'm on it." Ezra replied, getting up. He walked over to her and gave her a soft peck on the lips before stepping past her, heading towards the kitchen.
Okay, so there's that. A new baby on the way, any suggestions for names? Both boy and girl names are welcome, we'll be deciding the gender of it soon, feel free to throw in your preference. Next chapter, we're going to be having our park day, wonder how things are going to go. :)
