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.
Talking about our Future
Ezria's POV
I don't know how I could ever consider getting a divorce for Aria in the first place. I love my wife and two amazing daughters. Aria is trying to get her singing career back on track. Riley is making more progress every day with physical therapy. Lucy is just enjoying her life like any 5 year old should. Jason is staying at our house with the kids for the night while Aria and I spend some time together without the kids.
I don't really like to celebrate half anniversary's but Aria does. We have been married for 7 1/2 years. Aria and I were going out to dinner and then spending the night in a hotel room.
"Thanks for this. It's really nice to spend some time without the kids." Aria said
"I still don't see the big deal in half anniversary's." I said
"It's a thing with the Montgomery family. Growing up Mike and I would always celebrate our half birthdays." Aria said
"I'm surprised because we don't celebrate Riley and Lucy's half birthdays." I said
"Lucy's half birthday is close to Christmas and Riley never wanted to celebrate her half birthday." Aria said
"When Wesley and I were growing up were banned by our mother from celebrating half birthday's." I said
General POV
Meanwhile at the Fitz residence Riley and Lucy were having a Disney movie marathon. Jason made them popcorn and the girls seemed to be having fun. Jason was glad that Aria and Ezra trusted him with the girls. The girls were behaving for the most part until Lucy's bedtime. Lucy refused to go to bed making up excuse after excuse. Lucy was only going to go to sleep if Bella was allowed to sleep on her bed instead of in the cage. Eventually she did go to bed but it was an hour past the time she was supposed to be sleeping. Riley went to bed a short time later. Once both girls were sleeping Jason slept in the guest bedroom.
Aria's POV
After dinner we hung out at the hotel pool. Neither of us went swimming but siting by the pool was nice. After relaxing by the pool we went to our hotel room.
"Can we talk?" I asked
"Yes, What's going on?" Ezra asked
"Now would be a good time to talk about why you felt the need to get divorce papers written up and then hide them from me." I said
"I already told you why Aria. You cheated on me, lied to me, kept secrets from me." Ezra said
"I think we both lied and kept secrets from each other." I said
"I told you I don't want the divorce anymore." Ezra said
"I know you said that but you still have the papers Ezra. Is that just in case you change your mind?" I asked
"If it makes you happy I will shred the divorce papers as soon as we get home tomorrow." Ezra said
"This might not be the best time to tell you but Jason is really close to getting me a tour offer. I may be leaving as soon as the end of March." I said
"How long?" Ezra asked
"6 months, Starting with my opening show in Vegas and ending with an I heart radio performance at the end of September." I said
"How long have you known about the tour?" Ezra asked
"Since my charity concert performance Jason has been working on a tour deal for me. Apparently he knew my old manager so they are working together with me to plan a tour." I said
"Maybe the kids and I can join you for the summer part of the tour." Ezra said
"Thanks but I would rather do this tour on my own. Not that I don't want you and the kids to see me perform but this is my career and I think it would be hard on the kids to do all that traveling even if it is summer." I said
"Is this because of Riley. Aria, her Physical Therapist thinks she will out of the wheelchair permanently before summer?" Ezra asked
"I know and I'm grateful for that. This way you can enjoy the summer with the kids. Maybe you can even take them to Disney Land. It could just be a one day thing since we only live 45 minutes away. I might even be performing there sometime during the summer." I said
"Your right Aria, I don't need to get involved with your career. I just wish that Jason wasn't managing it and going on tour with you." Ezra said
"Would it be better if it was my old manager or someone we didn't know?" I asked
"No, your old manager quit without any notice and someone we didn't know would be even worse then Jason." Ezra said
"I really want another kid Ezra." I said
"With the tour is that really such a good idea to try for another kid right now?" Ezra asked
"No, so as soon as this tour is over we can start trying again." I said
"It took almost 6 months of trying to get you pregnant with Lucy." Ezra said
"If it takes us that long again I won't get pregnant until March of next year meaning the new baby would be born in December next year." I said
"With Riley all it took was one drunk hookup with Jason." Ezra said
"No matter how long it takes it's worth it once the kid is born." I said
"I would start trying tonight if it wasn't for your tour." Ezra said
"I don't want to risk cancelling another tour so I'm staying in birth control for now." I said
"It's your career Aria and I agree with you." Ezra said
"Thanks for being so understanding and patient Ezra." I said
Before Ezra and I went to sleep we had sex. It was something we usually tried doing at least once a week but with all the things going on in our lifes it had been longer then that since the last time we did it. Ezra and I cuddled before falling asleep. The next morning we went home and spent the day with the kids.
