Jason and Aria returned tanned and fresh from Bali 9 days later and unknown to them and everyone they knew, they returned with something unexpected too.
The first stop on Jason and Aria's list was Aria's mom's home. "Hey mom!" Aria beamed as she opened the front door and allowed herself and Jason in.
"Hi! It's so good to see you. How was your honeymoon? Where did you go?" Ella skipped over to hug her daughter and then her new son-in-law.
"We went to Bali! It was beautiful." Aria answered as she kicked off her shoes.
"Let me get you two a drink." Ella walked from the front door to the kitchen and Aria and Jason walked into the lounge.

"Where's Mike?" Aria asked as her mom returned with drinks.
"He went out with Lewis. He should be back soon." Ella gave them their drinks and sat down in the arm chair oppoiste them. "So tell me about Bali."
"Um, we didn't get to see as much as we expected we would. Jason rented the cutest villa for us so we spent a fair amount of time there instead of exploring. Most of the people there speak english so it wasn't too hard to communicate with people when we needed to."
"Aww, was it romantic like Edward and Bella's honeymoon?"
"Mom.." Aria furrowed her eyebrows "how do you know about Edward and Bella?" Aria giggled.
"Since your father and I divorced, I've had a lot of time on my hands. I managed to watch all 5 films in one night."
"Wow mom. and yeah I guess it was." Aria rubbed her hand down Jason's thigh as he kissed the back of her earlobe.
"You two are so cute." Ella smiled as she admired the couple who had lost interest in the conversation and were more interested in showering each other with affection.
Ella decided to leave them alone and went upstairs to sort out her things for the next week of school. She could hear Jason and Aria laughing downstairs. She loved how well Jason looked after her, how much Jason loved her and the amount of confidence Aria had gained during their relationship. But the laughter from downstairs caused flashbacks for Ella - the early few years of her marriage to Byron.

Jason and Aria left an hour after Mike returned home. As they sat and unpacked their suitcases, Aria was in a three way convo with Spencer and Hanna on loudspeaker.
"So how was the sex? You pregnant yet?" Hanna asked nochalantly.
"Hanna!" Spencer exclaimed. "I have no interest in my brother's and best friend's sex life."
"Boo you Spence. So Aria?" Hanna pushed.
Aria and Jason looked at each other and smiled. Jason shaking his head and laughing silently as he put his suitcase underneath the bed and collected his clothes to dump into the laundry basket.
"Where are you two?" Aria asked wanting to change the subject for Spencer's sake.
"I'm at Wren's." Spencer answered.
"I'm on my way back from a date." Hanna sighed.
"I'm assuming it wasn't great.."
"No, he was hot but so boring."
"You'll find someone more accustomed to you someday Han." Spencer told her.
"I hope so.."
"Or maybe Caleb will come to him senses and realise he lost the best thing that ever happened to him." Aria added.
"I don't know.."
"Come on Jason and I were apart with no contact for three years and now we're married. Who knows, it could happen to you."
"Well here's to hoping. That's all I can do at the moment."

The girls carried on talking for another hour before Jason and Aria went to bed. The flight and difference between time zones hit them hard and they both slept like babies that night.
Aria woke up first with a nasty taste in her mouth. A few moments later she ran down the hall into the bathroom and threw up the contents of her stomach. After attempting to brush her teeth without throwing up and swilling her mouth with mouthwash she walked back into the bedroom, Jason was still fast asleep. She climbed back in and tried to fall back to sleep but she couldn't. Half an hour later, Jason woke up. "Good morning beautiful." Jason leaned over to kiss Aria.
"Mmm, no Jason. No." Aria moved her face away from Jason's.
Jason leaned up. "What? What's wrong?"
"I threw up a little while ago."
"Oh shit, you okay? Was it something you ate yesterday?"
"I don't know. Could you go to the drugstore and get me something for it?"
"I'll go now." Jason got out of bed. Pulled on his shorts and t-shirt. Went to the bathroom to clean up and was out of the front dorr within 5 minutes.

The medicine Jason bought for Aria didn't help to settle her stomach. "I better go back and get you something else." Jason told her as he ran his fingers threw her hair as she lay down on his lap.
"I think you need to get me a pregnancy test first."
"You think you could be pregnant?"
"Yeah, it's not as if we've been careful. You don't always use a condom, I haven't been on my birth control for a few weeks.. it's the only explanation."
Jason leaned down to kiss Aria's forehead. "Okay. The drugstore is still open so I'll go there right now." Aria sat up and thanked Jason. While he was gone she forced three pints of water into herself, so that she could pee while taking the test.

"How long do we have to wait?" Jason asked as Aria re-entered their bedroom with the pregnancy test wrapped up in a tissue. "Two minutes.." The couple sat on the edge of the bed waiting.
"I hope its positive." Jason told her.
Aria looked up and smiled at him. "You do?"
"Yeah, don't you?"
"I guess so."
It was time to check the test. Aria removed it from the tissue and smiled.
"Oh my God Jason!"
