It is officially summer! :) Who thinks that the mystery person in the Ezria triangle could be Lucas? They said it's someone we've already met before, more age appropriate, and that Ezra and him are total opposites. And Lucas is getting a new love interest this season... It's a weird pairing, but it's PLL, we never know! :)

Aria's POV

Ella and I anxiously walked through the blue door's of the doctors' office and straight to the reception counter.

"We're here to learn the results of the blood tests for Aria Montgomery." Ella told her as

I fidgeted with the many rings on my fingers, awaiting her response.

"Ah, yes," The lady said, after scrolling through her computer. "Dr. Lori will be with you soon."

I gave her a small smile as Ella and I took a seat on the couch nearby.

"You ready for this?" Ella took my hand squeezed it gently.

"No." I whispered, my voice cracking as I shook my head.

"Aria Montgomery?" I heard a voice call. I looked up to find a lady with brunette hair and light green eyes smiling at me. She tilted her head towards the door, signaling me to follow her.

"I'm Dr. Lori." She smiled as she shook hands with Ella and I.

"So, Aria, how are you feeling?" She smiled.

"At the moment, fine. But I had the stomach flu last week."

"Yes, yes, we got your blood test results." She led Ella and I into a small room with daisy wallpaper all over the walls. I climbed onto the bed and looked at her expectantly.

"First off, you're anemic. So I'm going to prescribe you a bottle of iron pills. You'll need to take one every morning before you eat breakfast."

I nodded as she wrote something down on a piece of paper.

"Secondly..."

I held my breath.

"You're pregnant." She gave me a sympathetic look.

Ella took my hand as I closed my eyes and took a deep breath.

I couldn't believe it. I was actually pregnant. This was real. There was a baby inside of me... What is Ezra going to do when he finds out?

"Who?" Dr. Lori asked.

"Who what?" I asked, confused.

"You just asked, 'what is Ezra going to do when he finds out?'" She replied.

"Oh... I didn't mean to say that out loud. Uh-" I looked at my mom, trying to figure out what to say. She nodded, signaling me to tell Dr. Lori the truth.

"Well... Ezra's my boyfriend. Except, he just found out that he has a daughter with his ex-fiance." I explained.

"Is he... older?" She asked, carefully.

I nodded. "Six years."

"Did you tell him that you thought you could be pregnant?" She leaned against the counter.

I shook my head fiercely.

"Any advice you can give her on how she can break the news to him?" Ella chimed.

She scrunched her eyebrows together. "Hmm... probably just that if he gets mad after you tell him, give him some time, I'm sure he'll come around. This is a lot to take in, and you will have had a longer time to think about this then him..."

I nodded.

"That's all?" Ella asked.

"For now." Dr. Lori replied. "I want to see you again in a few weeks to see how you are feeling and how your morning sickness is going."

"Thanks, doctor." Ella said, as we both got up and left the room.

"So, you're pregnant." Ella stated, as we got into the car.

I suddenly burst into tears. "Mom... What if Ezra breaks up with me?" I put a hand on my stomach. "What if he leaves me? And the b-baby?" I cried.

Ella reached over and rubbed my back soothingly. "He won't do that honey. He's stressed out right now, but Ezra's a good man. I don't think he would do something like that to you." She assured me.

I was silent the rest of the ride home. I slipped away into my room to put the pills in my bathroom. As I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror, I silently thanked God for the invention of waterproof mascara. My eyes were red and puffy from all the crying that I had been doing. I closed my eyes as I envisioned Ezra's reaction to the news. Yelling, disbelief, and tears, were all I could come up with. Quickly, I fixed my make up and put my hair up into a ponytail. I took one last look in the mirror, before grabbing my keys.

"Mom, I'm going to Ezra's!" I called, as I walked out the door before she could object.

A short drive later, I found myself standing in front of apartment 3B. I raised my hand to knock on the door, but instead paused for a moment. How am I going to tell him? What if it all comes out wrong? I thought. However, I told myself I had to be strong, for my sake, Ezra's, and the baby's.

I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. A moment later, the door swung open, and there stood Ezra, who was holding a sleeping Maria in his arms. Her head was resting on his shoulder, and I couldn't help but wish that I would see this image again in the future, but with my baby. I shook my head. I couldn't keep the baby. Ezra and I were too young to have a family.

"Hey." He gently pulled me inside and shut the door behind me.

"I'll be right back, I'm just gonna go put Maria down." He smiled and walked into his room.

Looking around, I saw how messy the coffee table was. Papers were strewn all over the table, some crumbled up, some creased, and others folded. I walked over to the table and picked up one paper in particular that stood out to me. There were red markings all over it and notes in every possible space of the margins.

"His heart stopped as she muttered the unforgivable words. It made no sense. A part of him wished she would suddenly say, 'tricked ya!' or 'hah, I got you so good!' However, he impatiently waited for the words that never came." I read an excerpt from the sheet I had picked up.

"I see you've found my collection." I heard a voice say, causing me to jump and throw the paper back onto the table as if it were on fire.

"Oh, um.." I stammered.

"Its okay, Aria. I don't mind if you read them. They're almost all about you." He smiled.

At that moment, I realized that there was no way I could tell him about the baby now. He was so happy, and I would have felt so guilty for making him depressed.

I didn't know how to respond, so I was grateful when we heard a knock at the door.

"I bet that's Jackie, to pick up Maria." Ezra got up and answered the door.

"Hey, Ezra!" Jackie exclaimed.

He smiled and went to go get Maria. He came back a moment later, with Maria in his arms. He handed her over to Jackie, as she said, "thank you so much for keeping her for a while. I accomplished so much." She smiled hugely, not noticing my presence. I shot her a glare, as she took Maria from him, making sure her arms lingered on his for a few seconds.

"Oh, hello!" She said, finally noticing me.

I gave her a forced smile. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Ezra frown, seeing straight through my smile. Jackie, however, thought my smile was genuine.

"I'm Jackie." She reached out to me to shake my hand.

"Are you-" She looked from me to Ezra, and back to me again. "Aria?"

I nodded slowly. How did she know my name? She'd only seen me once... After she told my boyfriend she had a daughter with him...

"It's nice to meet you!" She exclaimed. "Ezra's talked so much about you!"

I gave Ezra a confused look, as I wondered just how much he told her about us. Ezra shot me back a look that said, "I'll explain later."

"Okay, we'll we'd better go, I'll see you later Ezra!" Jackie said, as she left Ezra's apartment.

"Do you want something to drink?" Ezra asked me.

"Um, water's fine."

He handed me a glass full of ice water, causing our fingers to touch. Of course, my heartbeat sped up when our skin met.

"Aria, is everything alright?" He sat next to me on the couch. "You seem... distant."

"It's just..." I stared at my glass. "Ezra, I don't know how this is going to work."

"What are you talking about?" He asked, completely oblivious.

"I'm talking about the fact that I haven't seen you in a whole week! You spend every minute of the day with Jackie or Maria! The whole point of you taking the job at Hollis, was so we could spend more time together and so we could have a real relationship, without you risking going to jail every time you're with me." I said. "I thought this would strengthen our relationship... But honestly," I sighed. "It's only weakening it..." I finished.

"Aria, if I knew that that's how you felt, then I would have spent more time with you. But you can't blame me entirely for the past week. I've noticed that you've been avoiding me." He looked me straight in the eyes, expectantly.

"I know..." I sighed. "There's something I have to tell you." I felt my eyes well up with tears.

"Ezra... I'm p-" I was interrupted by another knock on the door. Ugh! Whenever I get close to telling him, something screws it all up!I thought. Ezra opened the door and standing there was Jackie, with Maria standing by her side.

"Sorry Ezra, I realized that we forgot her favorite bunny here. She realized she didn't have it and went into a fit." Jackie watched Maria as she dropped Jackie's hand and ran over to the kitchen, where her bunny was sitting on top of the counter. Maria stood next to the counter and jumped up trying to reach her bunny, her dark curls bouncing along with her, but she was too short. Ezra smiled a little as he picked up the bunny from the counter and gave it to Maria. Maria hugged it close to her chest with a content smile on her face.

"Bye!" Ezra waved to the two of them.

"Bye Daddy!" Maria said, as she and Jackie left Ezra's apartment.

Ezra sat down beside me once again. An awkward silence filled the room, as neither of us knew what to say.

"She's cute."

He nodded in agreement.

"How do you like being a dad?" I asked, making small talk to avoid having to tell him about the baby.

"It's... hard since we're still kind of young, but it's pretty cool, once you think about it. It's- I don't know how to explain it, but when you hear your child call you mommy or daddy... it just makes you feel so great." He said in awe.

"Ezra, I-" He interrupted me once again.

"Aria, look. I'm sorry for how this last week has been." A sympathetic look overtook the smile that had previously been on his face. "It's just been so crazy... I mean, it's not every day that you find out you have a daughter."

"E-Ezra.. I need-" I tried to say, but Ezra cut me off again.

"Maria is such a sweet girl, and I'm mad that Jackie kept her from me for so long," I heard him say as I closed my eyes. "But I guess I need to be thankful that she let me in her life now, right Aria? Aria!" I quickly opened my eyes.

"Are you okay? Do you need to go home?" He grabbed my hands.

"Ezra! Can you let me speak, just for a minute! Please! This is hard enough having to tell you without your interruptions! If you would just let me talk, then maybe I'd be able to tell you what's wrong." I snapped.

He immediately dropped my hands, startled from my reaction.

"There's something..." I closed my eyes as I felt the tears begin to form. "There's something I need to tell you." I whispered. "And after I do, I really hope that you'll still want to be with me... but I'll understand if you don't. But please, Ezra... don't leave us." My voice cracked, as tears streamed down my face.

"Us?" He repeated, in a ghostly voice.

I closed my eyes for a moment and took a deep breath.

"Ezra... I'm pregnant." I whispered.

There you go! Review please; I'd love to know what you guys thought! :)
