Author Notes: I know some readers were not happy with some of the story lines I have chosen to write. I am reminding you that this is my story and I can write it the way I want it to. Please be nice in the reviews. I don't like reading "You are ruining your story" or "I hate this story". A better review would be "I think your story would be better if you did this ..." or "I think this should happen ... instead of this ...". Please give this story more of a chance as it only can get better.
I am still fairly new at writing and I can only improve with each chapter. For those of you that wanted Riley biological father to be Ezra, I think you will be happy in the end. Like I mentioned in a previous chapter. "DNA doesn't make a family, Love does." This quote was taken from another ABC Family show "The Fosters".
I made this choice to make Jason the biological father of Riley because I wanted Jason to be a important part of this story. I still want and plan to keep Ezria together even though there will be some bumps along the road with their marriage and other things that might happen to them in the future.
Just a little clue on what might happen in upcoming chapters or later on in the story: Ezria might get into another fight that causes Aria to maybe make a decision she regrets which Ezra may find out about. Ezras mom comes into town for about a month to celebrate Christmas and the New Years holiday with her son and granddaughters that may cause another strain on Ezrias relationship. Old feelings between two characters might resurface but they won't last very long. Aria may think she is pregnant but it might just be a false alarm. Aria will get a offer for a tour but will she take it? Jason offers to manage this tour for her but Aria and Ezra have different opinions about what that means.
Rileys Situation
Ezras POV
I left Aria alone in her hospital room with Jason. I really didn't want to do that but I knew she wanted to talk to him and it was best if I didn't get involved. As I was walking down the hallway back towards the Pediatric ICU, I was stooped by a doctor. This wasn't the same doctor that I had talked to before but he said he wanted to talk about Riley.
"I was just on my way to find you." The doctor said
"Is everything ok with Riley, She didn't get any worse right?" I asked
"The situation has changed and we need to decide the next step now." The doctor said
"What do you mean?" I asked
"Riley is in a medically induced coma and on life support. Under California law she can only be kept like this for a certain amount of time before the state makes the decision. Since she is a minor however they can't do anything before her parents are aware of the situation." The doctor side
"I'm not giving up on Riley and neither is her mom." I said
"I understand that but if the state has gets involved you and Aria may not have a choice." The doctor said
"What can we do for Riley right now?" I asked
I followed the doctor into a private office. He showed me some of Rileys X Rays.
"As you can see she has a broken femur in both legs, that we already did some surgical repair to. In surgery we ran into some other complications. A paramedic said that Riley was really pinned in the car that your wife was driving. There is a really high possibility that we are going to need to do more surgery, possible even a kidney transplant. This may be her only chance of making some sort of recovery from this." The doctor said
"How does the whole kidney transplant thing work, Is their a list of people waiting to donate to someone in need?" I asked
"Actually its the other way around. Riley is already on the waiting list for a new one. Everybody has two kidneys so for healthy adults it is possible for them to only live with one but Riley wouldn't be able to since she is so young." The doctor said
"So I would be a possible donor for her." I said
"If you were a match. The first thing I need to know would be your blood type?" The doctor asked
"My blood type is A positive." I said
"Already you would be out since Rileys blood type is an O negative she needs someone with an O blood type to donate. Do you know anyone with an O blood type?" The doctor asked
"I think my wife is an O, I'm not sure if it is positive or negative though." I said
"In her condition she wouldn't be considered eligible. There is nothing majorly wrong with you wife but she is a current hospital patient so by law we can't do that." The doctor said
"I will talk to my wife and she is she knows anyone. Both of us have some friends that might be a match." I said
"Do they live local? This is something that we might need to do within the next day or two." The doctor asked
"I have a friend in Los Vegas, Nevada but that is the closest to local I can think of at the moment." I said
The doctor and I walked back to Arias room to give her the not so good update on Riley.
Arias POV
Jason had just left my hospital room to go home. I still had Rileys stuffed animal in here and I would have Ezra give it back Riley later. When Ezra came in to the room with a doctor that I didn't recognize, I knew it was probably one of Rileys doctors.
"Aria, this is one of Rileys doctors and according to him Riley isn't doing that good." Ezra said
"I'm sorry that we have to have this conversation but Rileys condition has gotten worse. Since she is a minor both you and Ezra need to know everything that is going on. We also have to talk about possible treatment options." The doctor said
After he said there was less then a 50 percent chance that Riley was going to make a full recovery, I was in tears. Ezra comforted me but he was crying as well. Rileys doctor then left the room so Ezra and I could talk privately about the situation.
"I don't want to give up on Riley. She's way to young to be going through this." I said
"I know, neither do I. The doctors are going to do everything they can to make her better." Ezra said
"I should be in her situation, not Riley. She doesn't deserve this but I do." I said
"No one deserves this Aria, not even you. Ezra said
"You really mean that because my mistakes got us into this mess." I said
"Aria, I love you more now then I ever have. Yes you made some recent mistakes but I've made mistakes in this marriage to. I want to get past that and go back to being the perfect family that we once were." Ezra said
"I love you to Ezra but I don't know if we can ever get through this. If Riley doesn't make it I am always going to blame myself for it." I said
"Aria, we can't give up on Riley, No matter how hard it is for us." Ezra said
"I'll call my family,if you call yours. They need to know in case something happens to Riley." I said
"Agreed but I don't know how much help my mom is going to be, Australia is a long distance from LA." Ezra said
"What about your dad and Wesley?" I asked
"I don't have an address or phone number for my dad. I have a phone number for Wesley but I don't have a current address. He travels for work so I don't know where he is living at the moment." Ezra said
"Just call them, I know it's probably easier to just send your mom a email but I don't think it the kind of news that she wants to read in an email." I said
"Should I also call Hardy, He lives in Vegas and he might be a donor match for Riley." Ezra said
"Do you really think he would be willing to do that. He doesn't know about the paternity thing but I'm not so sure he would do it if we told him why you are not a match." I said
"We have to find someone, what about one of your friends?" Ezra asked
"Emily and I were never that close. Spencer and Hanna might consider it but it's a lot to ask either of them. I don't know Toby and Caleb well enough to ask." I said
"Aria, just ask them, If they so no at least you tried." Ezra said
"What about Jason? He lives in LA and he is a more likely match then any of our friends." I asked
"He's only known Riley for a few months Aria, that's a ton to expect from him." Ezra said
"If I was put into Jasons position, I would at least get tested. I just feel like we have to ask him, It's only fair to Jason. He can make decide if he wants to go through it on his own but he is going to find out anyway if he talks to a doctor." I said
"The doctors can't tell him that much about Rileys condition because they don't have him written down as the father." Ezra said
"Jason can prove that he is the biological father and then the doctors have to tell him." I said
"Aria, your car was hit by a drunk driver. I know he didn't make it but his family is legally responsible for all medical fees for both you and Riley." Ezra said
"Why are you bringing that up Ezra?" I asked
"If Riley were to not make it, we can sue his family. They would be legally responsible in this case." Ezra said
"I'm not going to ruin someone else's family. It was an honest mistake and it wouldn't be fair for that young mans family to be ruined because of it. I'm sure they are already devastated because of the loss of their son." I said
"It's a decision that we may have to make together so I just wanted to let you know." Ezra said
"It's late Ezra, you really should go home and get some rest." I said
"I will soon but I will be back here tomorrow morning." Ezra said
"What are you going to do about your teaching job." I said
"I'm going to call the school in the morning and take some time off. I have a few weeks vacation time that I need to use before the end of the year anyway. Plus I have to tell the school about Riley because obviously she won't be going to school for awhile." Ezra said
Jasons POV
On Monday morning I called in sick to work. I couldn't go to work today because if I did all I would be thinking about is Riley. I grabbed the paternity test results so this time I had proof that I was biologically related to her. I have never been through this sort of emergency before with a friend or family member. I got to the hospital minutes before 8 AM because I wanted to be there right when visiting hours started. The lady at the front desk was a different person then last night so I had to explain to her who I was here to see. I showed her the paternity test results and she had to call someone that was working in a higher up position then she was to help me. I had to wait almost an hour to talk to him because he was busy with other people.
"What can I help you with?" He asked
"I was here last night and I was told that I needed to come back this morning with this so I can see my daughter." I said
I handed him the envelope and he looked at the papers inside.
"Unfortunately at this time Riley is on the no visitors list except for her parents Aria and Ezra Fitz." He said
"She is my biological daughter. I have a right to see her." I said
"I understand that but under her current condition Aria and Ezra are the only two people allowed to see her." He said
"I handed you those papers as prof. I should be able to see her now." I said
"This is just the paternity test results, for all I know this could be made up." He said
"I'm not making this up." I said
"Do you have a custody agreement for Riley between you and the Fitz?" He asked
"No, not an official one. I talked with Aria and Ezra, We all decided that we didn't want to go through the court system for custody." I said
"Then I can't help you. I advise you to talk to Aria and Ezra. As of now they have the authority on whether or not you can see Riley." He said
"Is there someone else I can talk to to get this straitened out. I really want to be able to see Riley like today, if possible." I said
"No sir, I'm sorry. I'm the chief of staff doctor at this hospital and no one here right now is higher up then me." He said
I then walked outside of the hospital. I was just about to call Spencer to ask her what I should do next. For all I know she doesn't even know about the car accident yet when I bumped into Ezra who was just arriving at the hospital.
