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.
Starting a 6 Month Tour
Aria's POV
(End of March)
Tomorrow will be a sad/Happy day because I am leaving to go on my tour. One amazing thing did happen today. Riley doesn't need her wheelchair anymore. Her doctor said she still might need it if she does any long distance walking but other then that she is 100 percent back to normal.
"I can't believe you leaving tomorrow mom." Riley said
"Me neither, Mommy." Lucy said
"I will miss both of you so much." I said
"Then why can't we go with you?" Lucy asked
"Both of you have 2.5 months of school left." I said
"Since dad doesn't have to work during the summer can we go with you then?" Riley asked
"Lucy is in YMCA camp all summer and you have CIT training so you can go on field trips with Lucy." I said
"Aria don't worry the kids will be perfectly fine with me." Ezra said
"I wouldn't mind if you wanted to pull the kids out of camp for a week and join me on tour." I said
"That may not be possible anymore because I'm teaching summer school this year." Ezra said
"Since when?" I asked
"Since I found out about your tour. I didn't want to spend the whole summer home during the day while Riley and Lucy were at camp." Ezra said
"I understand, plus we probably could use the extra money because Riley's medical expenses are still not completely paid." I said
"I know, it's like the hospital thinks they own our savings account." Ezra said
"So are we like poor now because of the car accident?" Lucy asked
"No, it's just between all the time Riley spent in the hospital, her surgery, and physical therapy it's practically eating up our entire savings account." I said
"I thought you had medical insurance for that." Riley said
"We do but the insurance doesn't cover everything and your dad has been trying to get them to pay more." I said
"Aria, don't make the kids worry. I always have my mom on backup if we need to borrow some money." Ezra said
"I know but I would feel really guilty asking her for money." I said
It was my last night with Ezra for 6 months so after the kids went to sleep we had to make our night special.
"Can we pretend this is our wedding night all over again?" Ezra asked
"I'm not drinking so I won't be in the bathroom half the night throwing up." I said
"I just want to make this night last as long as possible." Ezra said
We recreated our wedding night except for us being drunk because we were both completely sober. It was romantic and special because this would be the last time Ezra and I were together for 6 months. I woke up the next morning not ready to let go of Ezra. We had a heated make out session but had to stop before things got further because the kids woke up and were running down the hallway towards our room.
Everyone helped with breakfast this morning and then it was almost time for me to go. Jason was picking me up in our tour bus. He arrived a little early so the Riley and Lucy could get a tour of the bus.
"Mom, you are living on this bus for 6 months?" Lucy asked
"Yes, this is a special bus because it has a kitchen, living area, bathroom, and bedroom." I said
"Mom, how can there only be one bedroom when both you and my other dad are living in the bus?" Riley asked
"Jason is sleeping on the couch every night while I get the bedroom." I said
Finally it was time to say goodbye. Ezra took it well but Riley and Lucy were crying. They were happy for me but they were going to miss me.
(End of June)
3 months have passed meaning the tour is now halfway over. Jason and I have gotten closer as friends. We have made a few mistakes that I hope Ezra never has to find out about. I love Jason but I want to stay with Ezra because of the kids. Tonight out show is in Nashville, Tennessee. I will be doing some covers of Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum tonight. Both Taylor and Lady Antebellum will be performing with me tonight. Jason was also going to sing with me for a few songs. On the set list for tonight Taylor, Jason, and I will be singing "Love Story". Our song with Lady Antebellum was "Need You Now". Also on the set list were my own songs including "You Sound Good to Me", "Lie A Little Better", and "Just Another Song".
Over the last 3 months Jason has been giving me mixed messages. I saw him flirting with my backup singer Dani. She was right out of university and this was her first tour. Dani and I didn't exactly get along but luckly she wasn't staying on the bus that Jason and I are on. The concert went amazing like all of my other ones have gone so far on this tour.
At the very end of the concert Jason and I were saying thank you and goodnight to the crowd I ran off the stage. I felt sick and luckly I was able to make it to the bathroom in time. I haven't been sick in years. The last time was when morning sickness when I was pregnant with Lucy. I thought to myself that I could be pregnant but I'm sure it was just nerves. I was in a private bathroom so Jason knocked on the door and I let him in.
"Please tell me this is just nerves." Jason said
"I don't know Jason, I really think I should take a pregnancy test." I said
"Is a pregnancy really possible? I thought you were on birth control?" Jason asked
"I was but I forgot to renew the script and I have not taken any since we left for tour." I said
"There is a CVS pharmacy right down the street. I can go get one for you if you want to stay here." Jason said
"I'm going with you since the test is for me anyway." I said
Jason's POV
Aria and I were leaving the concert venue when I saw someone I didn't think I would ever see. My Ex wife and yes she had the kids with her. They have grown up so much since the last time I saw them. Our son Noah was now 8 and our daughter Alexandra was now 6.
"I don't know if you two remember him but this is your dad." She said to Noah and Alexandra.
"What are you doing here?" I asked
"I work for people magazine now and my boss asked me to write a story about Aria Montgomery's tour." she said
"Dad, why did you leave us?" Alexandra asked
"It's a long story but I love both of you and I never stop thinking of you." I said
"Cute kids." Aria said
"Thanks, it's not easy being a single mom raising two kids and working to support them." She said
"I know how hard it is to raise kids. I have two daughters myself. Luckily I'm married and have an amazing husband to take care of them while I'm on tour." Aria said
"Jason, Are you still living in Nashville?" She asked
"No, I live in LA. I have a job teaching middle school choir and I am also Aria's tour manager. Thankfully the school was able to find a long term sub so I could go on this tour with Aria" I said
"It's was nice seeing you." She said
"Besides now are you ever going to let me see Noah and Alexandra again?" I asked
"I will give you my cell phone number. Call me after the tour is over and we might be able to work something out. With you living in LA it will be hard but we can try." She said
Aria and I walked to the store down the street. Our tour bus driver was driving over to the store in the bus to pick us up after Aria got what she needed. I bought the pregnancy test for Aria even though she wanted to pay for it herself. A little while later we were back on the bus and Aria took the test. 3 minutes later we found out the results of the test.
"It's positive." Aria said
"I understand if you want to cancel the rest of the tour." I said
"No, I can finish since we are half done it won't be that bad." Aria said
"You should go see a doctor to confirm the pregnancy." I said
"Well it's not like I have enough time to fly back to LA to see a doctor and be back into for tomorrow night's show." Aria said
"I know a doctor in Nashville that might be able to see you first thing in the morning. She works out of the hospital so she sees patients on Sunday in an emergency." I said
"How do you know this doctor?" Aria asked
"It's my ex's OBGYN. I'll look up the phone number for you on my computer and you can call." I said
"Thanks." Aria said
"What's the chances of you getting pregnant from that one night we had together?" I said
"Apparently I get pregnant faster when I'm drunk so it's more likely your baby then Ezra's." Aria said
The next morning I went to the hospital to see the doctor. Jason went with me because he thought the baby was his.
"Thanks for seeing me in such a rush." Aria said
"It's no problem. I was here anyway doing paperwork." She said
"I was indeed pregnant but I just needed to find out how far along I was.
"It looks like you are 3 months along and I can even tell you gender today if you want." She said
"Aria, do you want to know?" I asked
"Yes." Aria said
"Congrats, you two are having a boy." she said
"Can I have a copy of the sonogram?" Aria asked
"Yes, I will be right back with the printed picture for you." She said before leaving the room.
"It turns out it's not your baby after all since I'm three months along and not two." Aria said
(The baby is Ezra's but I will be writing an alternate ending with Jason as the baby daddy)
"Any more question?" She asked
"Is it safe for me to continue my tour. I have 3 months left?" Aria asked
"Yes, if you think you can handle it but you will need to have regular checkups so I can provide you a list with doctors around the country." She said
Aria and I left the hospital together. Aria had another concert in Nashville tonight then we would be headed to out next destination.
Next chapter will be set back in LA so you can see what Ezra, Riley, and Lucy are up to now that it is summer. This story will have two endings. Ezria will get a happy ending then in the alternate ending Jaria will get a happy ending.
