Chapter 9:
It had been four days and there had been no progress in Daisy's case. There were still many people before her on the waiting list for a new liver, and nobody in either Aria's nor Ezra's family was a match for Daisy. They had all, as well as Hanna, Spencer and Emily, been at the hospital day and night, hoping and praying for something good to happen, but each day the doctor, Dr. Wilson, came back and said the same thing. There was nothing they could do until they had the liver.
Currently, Aria, Ezra and Spencer were in the waiting room as Hanna and Emily had gone to get food from the cafeteria. The two of them stepped out of the elevator, balancing coffee cups and turkey sandwiches in their hands and handed them out to their friends. Aria couldn't have coffee because she was pregnant so they had brought her some grape juice instead.
"I'm not really hungry." Aria said, dropping the cling-wrapped sandwich onto her lap.
"Aria, you have to eat something." Ezra said.
"I don't want to eat. I'm not hungry." Aria replied stubbornly.
Ezra took her hand. "Sweetie, for the sake of our baby, please eat something." he pleaded.
"Aria, it's bad enough that you have to deal with this much stress during your pregnancy, you can't skip meals too." Spencer added.
Aria sighed and unwillingly wrapped the sandwich, taking a bite. "I don't like the idea of me being able to eat while my baby girl is lying helplessly in a hospital bed with God knows how many tubes and machines attached to her." she said, tears rolling down her cheeks.
"I know, I know." Ezra soothed. "But not eating isn't going to make Daisy get better any faster. You need to take care of your health Aria."
Aria nodded, looking down at her hands. "I'm sorry. I know you're hurting too and I'm not making this any easier by making you worry about taking care of me."
"Hey, I'm always gonna be there to take care of you no matter what. Don't even think that you're burdening me in any way, okay?"
Aria nodded, wrapping her arms around him and leaning her head on his shoulder. Ezra placed a kiss on the top of her head and rest his head on hers.
It had only been a short while when Dr. Wilson came to the waiting room to see them.
"Mr and Mrs Fitz, we have some good news." Dr. Wilson said. "It appears that someone made a donation for your daughter's case. We can begin surgery in the morning and, if everything goes well, Daisy will be free to leave within two weeks."
For a moment, both Aria and Ezra just stood there staring at the doctor.
"Are you saying..." Aria started.
"Daisy's going to be okay?" Ezra finished.
"I can't say for sure, but the chances of her surviving are very high." Dr. Walker said, smiling at them.
"Daisy's going to be okay." Aria whispered, her hand clutching Ezra's so tight it hurt, but he didn't seem to notice as a feeling of immense happiness took over.
"Wait a second." he said, all of a sudden. "Who was the donor?"
Dr Wilson hesitated for a second before responding. "I'm afraid I can't tell you that. The donor has requested us not to disclose their personal information to you."
Aria looked at him, confused. "Someone saved our baby girl's life but they don't want us to know who they are?"
Dr. Wilson nodded. "It appears that way, yes."
"Who could it possibly be." Aria wondered aloud.
"We can worry about that later." Ezra said. "Aria, our baby girl's going to be okay."
Aria smiled at Ezra, looking into his eyes before she wrapped her arms around his torso and pressed her face against his chest, feeling his arms tighten around her body and his head on her shoulder. "Our baby girl's going to be okay." she repeated.
That night, as the pair lay in bed, they found themselves unable to sleep. Unlike the others nights, this time they couldn't sleep because they were excited for Daisy to finally be okay.
"Ezra?" Aria said.
"Hmm?"
"I wonder who donated part of their liver."
"I was just thinking the same thing." Ezra said, shifting so he was looking at her. "Do you think we'll ever find out?"
Aria shrugged. "I don't know. I hope we do, I really want to thank them and let them know how much this means to us."
"Me too." Ezra agreed before they soon drifted off to sleep.
Who could possibly be the donor? Keep reading to find out.
Btw, sorry this chapter is pretty short, I had some trouble coming up with what to write, to be honest. If you have any ideas or anything you want to see, feel free to let us know in a PM or review :)
Also, we're sure you're all just as sad/angry/annoyed/shocked/dead/upset about the finale. I seriously can't believe that (SPOILER ALERT,IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE FINALE, SKIP THE REST OF THIS) Ezra is A! But we have a few theories about it:
1. What if someone led Ezra to A's lair and he was angry because he realized that Aria was still being stalked and didnt tell him and angry that someone was trying to hurt her. Or maybe he found the lair on his own because he was suspicious of A being back.
2. He's trying to protect Aria.
3. He really is A, and he came to Rosewood to stalk the girls but he really did fall in love with Aria and he's still very much in love with her, which is why she hasnt had to deal with as much as the other girls.
4. He has multiple personalities.
Feel free to share your theories and we'll post them at the end of next chapter. Don't forget to leave your reviews :)
