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.
Life in LA
Riley's POV
Summer time used to be fun. My dad was teaching summer school this year so it was different. Lucy was going to YMCA summer camp every day and I was only going to camp when there were field trips. I haven't heard from my mom since she left on tour other then a few short phone conversations. Lucy, our dad, and I all miss our mom but she will be back home in three months. The only day Lucy was allowed to skip summer camp was June 14th because that was my sisters 6th birthday. I also didn't go to camp that day. Lucy and I ended up going to work with our dad. We couldn't do much but watch our dad teach english and writing to a bunch of high schoolers. It was still a fun day.
July 4th wasn't nearly as fun without our mom. She did call and we got to talk to her but again the phone conversation was kept short. Lucy and I just got home from our first day back at summer camp after the holiday. Today was a field trip to the water park and both of us had lots of fun.
"Riley can you go get the mail for me?" Ezra asked
"Yes." I said
I walked outside got the mail and walked back inside with a pile of mail. I gave most of the mail to my dad except for one of my mom's magazines because I wanted to read it. I then went upstairs to my room so I wouldn't be bothered. Usually my parents didn't like me reading people magazine mostly because they thought I was to young. I don't agree with them because I'm almost 12 years old not 6 like Lucy is. In the magazine I found a story on the top touring singers and I was surprised to find my mom was one of them.
My mom also had her own story in the magazine. I couldn't believe what it said about my mom but this might explain why she was keeping the phone conversations short. The magazine said my saying my mom was cheating on my dad with her tour manager. I guess I believe it because she cheated before and her tour manager happened to be my bio dad. The one thing I didn't believe was that my mom was pregnant. I think she would of told my dad if she was pregnant unless the baby daddy was Jason. The article was accusing my mom of having an affair and being pregnant with his baby. I couldn't let my dad see this but now it might be to late because he just walked into my room. The magazine article also had a picture of my mom and Jason hugging outside of a hospital in Nashville, Tennessee.
Ezra's POV
Riley was reading a magazine and it was one Aria and I didn't want her reading.
"Riley, Dinner's ready." I said
"Thanks for making dinner dad." Riley said
"What is so interesting in that magazine?" I asked
"Nothing, I just wanted to read it. I know it's one of mom's magazine's but I'm getting a little old for Highlights magazine that Lucy reads." Riley said
"Riley, We can subscribe to another magazine if you want. How about you find a dog magazine that you want to subscribe to." I said
"Great idea dad, maybe I can learn some tips for raising Bella." Riley said
Lucy and Riley ate dinner with me. Family meals are different without Aria.
"I miss mommy." Lucy said
"I don't think mom misses us as much as we miss her." Riley said
"What is that supposed to mean?" I asked
"Nothing, I watched a few you tube videos of mom singing on tour and it didn't seem like mom was even thinking about us." Riley said
"Your mom's singing career is important to her so right now we just have to be happy for her." I said
It was Riley's turn to clear the dinner table. Lucy was helping her with the non breakable items. While the kids were cleaning up from dinner I went upstairs to get the magazine Riley was reading earlier. I found it right on Riley's bed. Riley left it open to what she was reading and I noticed what it was right away.
"Aria Montgomery Fitz having an affair with her tour manager and who is the baby daddy?"
This is why Riley didn't want me to see it because she was scared how I was going to react. I read the magazine article trying to remain calm. I was upset but I had to find out if the magazine was being truthful or not. I called Riley and Lucy's baby sitter. She told me she didn't mind staying at the house for a few days since she was home for the summer.
I booked the next flight to NYC because I looked at Aria's tour schedule and her show tomorrow night was at Madison Square Gardens.
I took a red eye flight so the next morning I arrived in NYC. I found a hotel that still had a few rooms available. I figured I might as well go to Aria's concert so I bought the last available ticket on line. Later that night I went to the concert. It must be a small world because I also saw Spoby and Haleb at the concert. My concert ticket was actually right next to them.
"Aria didn't tell me you were going to her show tonight." Spencer said
"It was kind of a last minute decision. I missed Aria so I took red eye from LAX last night so I could be her tonight." I said
"So I should not text Aria right now and tell her you are at the show." Hanna said
"I want to surprise her after the show." I said
"Aria loves you despite what is going on." Spencer said
"What Spencer meant to say is that Aria may or may not be having an affair with her tour manager." Hanna said
"I saw the people magazine article so that is why I made the last minute decision to fly to NYC." I said
"Aria deserves a second chance." Toby said
"I'm sure Aria was just excited about the tour and things with Jason just sort of happened." Caleb said
"The thing is Aria will never be fully over Jason. He was her first and I can't compete with that." I said
After the show I was about to talk to Aria. Her show was amazing and she is a talented singer. I somehow got past a few security guards and I was know about to knock on Aria's dressing room door. After I knocked Aria opened it. Jason was not around at the time so this will be a good time tonight.
"Ezra, What are you doing here?" Aria asked
"I thought I would surprise you. I wasn't the only one here to support you tonight." I said
"I know Spencer, Toby, Hanna, and Caleb were here but I didn't expect you to fly across the country when I play in LA next month." Aria said
"I wanted to talk about a few things?" I said
"Are the kids here?" Aria asked
"No, Our babysitter is staying with them for a few days. They have there field trip to the zoo tomorrow and I knew they didn't want to miss it." I said
"What do you want to talk about?" Aria asked
"I am just going to say this right away. Aria, Are you and Jason having an affair?" I asked
"Ezra, It's complicated." Aria said
"I saw the people magazine article so you need to be honest about this." I said
"I'm sorry Ezra." Aria said
"You also need to apologize to one of our kids because guess who read the magazine before I did?" I asked
"Riley saw the story." Aria said
"Yes and she thinks you don't care about us anymore." I said
"What you read is only half true." Aria said
"Tell me who the baby daddy is Aria." I said
"I thought it was Jason but the due date matches better with you." Aria said
"I find that hard to believe." I said
"It's a boy but I'm going to leave it up to you if you want to be involved in his life." Aria said
" If you cared about the baby you would cancel the rest of this tour and come home." I said
"I'll think about cancelling the rest of the tour after the next few shows. I was supposed to have a week off but I'm going to London and doing 3 shows there with Ed Sheeran." Aria said
"Congrats to you. I really do love you Aria even if you don't love me." I said
"I love you Ezra, It's just a complicated situation." Aria said
The Next Chapter will take place 5 months later. The tour will be over and Aria will have the new baby. The next chapter will be the first ending of the story. After that I will write an alternate ending and it will be what if the baby daddy was Jason. I am doing this to give Ezria fans their happy ending next chapter and Jaria fans a happy ending after that.
