After me and Amelia's lunch date I learned that she has a 1 year old son back in Philly who she left with the baby's father Jordan. Aria came along, so of course this intrigued her since she's in a similar situation. Amelia informed her that she needs to tell Ezra as soon as possible. She told her that after she told Jordan she was pregnant with Kinnock, if anything it made them stronger. Amelia said that her dad was extremely accepting and while it's been hard financially Aria will want that support around her. After a couple of drinks, we decided to spring a surprise attack on Toby. Amelia told us that he's almost done on his case in Philly and that he will be returning to Rosewood. Amelia is in Rosewood for a couple more days, she's helping her mother with a graduation party for Jenna. Amelia also tells Aria not to waste her life, she tells her to enroll in some local community college courses and make a life for the little one. Amelia ended up dropping out of high school when she found out she was pregnant. It's so weird that we are getting this amazing advice from someone that is the same age as us. After lunch I drop Aria off at Ezra's, praying that she will finally break the news.
ARIA'S POV
As Spencer drops me off at Ezra's apartment, I take a big sigh.
"You'll be fine, just breath. We all know Ezra, it'll be okay." Spencer says to me, as I get out of the car.
I take another deep breath, "Ugh, thank you for bringing me, I can do this." I say.
"I love you. Call me later." She says leaning over the steering wheel. I close the door and begin to walk towards the door of the building, pulling my leather jacket around me, crossing my arms.

I knock on the door of apartment 3B.
"Aria? What's going on? Why didn't you call?" Ezra says as he answers the door surprised.
"I guess I didn't think you'd mind," I say looking down. "Can I come in?"
"Of course." he says. "What's wrong?" he asks. I'm assuming he's referring to my looking at my feet. "Hey," he grabs my chin with his right hand.
I instantly break down in tears, he grabs me and pulls me into a large hug. He places his broad chin on the top of my dainty head. I look up at him and he smiles. Ezra leans down, grasping my chin again, he kisses one of the tears away from my left eye. "What is it?"
I wrap my arms tightly around him again, snuggling into his chest. "I'm pregnant." I whimper.
Ezra doesn't say anything, we don't move. After a while in silence I finally say, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
"Aria, I already knew." He says.
"What?" I sniffle and look up at him.
"I've been with you for almost three years. I always know when something is going on." Ezra tells me.
"But, how?" I ask him.
"The first time you got sick, you were here with me. Then, you started gaining weight, I didn't want to say anything, but I just figured it caused from stress about graduation. But, then I connected the dots, you started to become distant and I immediately thought the worst." He tells me.
"What did you think?" I question.
"It's been a long day for you, why don't we just relax and watch a movie or something?" He proposes.
"Ezra?" I say with emphasis.
"Aria, I don't want to talk about this. You're rung out and tired, you just to relax maybe a hot shower?"
"Ezra, where did your mind go!?" I step away from his hold and cross my arms.
"I thought maybe, maybe you had cheated on me." He tells me slowly, pausing between each word.
"Who the hell would I have cheated on you with?" I retort angrily.
"I don't know Aria, you were stressed out about graduation, becoming distant from me. You had just started you photography class at Hollis." Ezra exclaims.
"You thought I had cheated on you with Clark?" I ask.
"Aria, I told you my mind went straight for the worst. I'm sorry, but when I realized that there is no way you would do that to me I put all of the pieces together and I realized that the only logical explanation was that you could be pregnant." Ezra pleads, grabbing my left hand. "I didn't want to assume or accuse you of anything, so I just waited for this moment. The moment that you would open up to me." he continues.
I don't look at him, but I grab my bottom lip with my right thumb and index finger. "Can you take me home?" I ask him.
"Can you look at me?" He asks.
I look up, "Can you take me home?" I ask again.
"No." he tells me, taking me by surprise.
"Excuse me?" I retort.
"No. We are going to sit on that couch," he points to the amber colored sofa. "You're going to curl up in my arms, and I'm going to hold you. You going to tell me everything you've been feeling, and we are going to get through this together. However long it may take." He tells me staring into my eyes.
I immediately break down again as a wave of emotions floods over me. Ezra grabs me, lifting me into his arms and we sit on the couch. His arms are wrapped tightly around me making me feel secure. I continue to blubber like a baby as Ezra kisses the top of my head.
"Don't cry my beautiful girl." He tells me.
