An Ezria Pregnancy

Chapter 7 - My Girls

**Ezra's POV**

As I wandered into the room, my heart lurched at the sight I was greeted with. There, asleep together on the hospital bed, were the two most important people in my life. The amount of love that washed over me so immense that it felt like my world gravitated around them; it felt like there was a magnetic force drew me to them, and I couldn't help but walk over to the bed and tenderly caress both their faces. I saw Aria's eyes begin to flutter open.
"Hey Ezra, sorry did we fall asleep on you." She said chuckling, whilst glancing down at the peacefully sleeping baby in her arms.
"I don't mind, it nice to see both my girls sleeping soundly after such a tiring couple of days." I replied, stroking the tufts of hair Callie had on her head. "Do you think her hair will stay this colour?" I pondered.
"I don't know, I think the doctors said that her hair can either go a bit lighter or darker as it grows, Why?" Aria asked, her beautiful hazel eyes gazing up at me with curiosity.
"Well, her hair is almost like a chocolatey brown colour now, and I was wondering if she may get the little light brown streaks through her hair that you have, however saying that, if that does happen, I'm afraid I will be fighting off the boys even more than I will have to now!" I said, chuckling. It was no secret that our daughter was going to be absolutely gorgeous when she grows up, and I'm not just saying that because I'm her daddy and I'm biased; to me, along with her mother, she will always be the most beautiful girl in my world.
"Ezra, you better not be one of the crazy protective fathers." Aria warned, sternly.
"Of course not, I think letting start to date when she's 30 is actually pretty generous." I teased. Aria knew that Callie had me wrapped around her little finger, and that she will probably be able to persuade me to do anything she wanted.
"Ha ha." Aria replied, sarcastically. "I know that you would never do that to her, and if you did, she would totally be able to persuade you out of it." She declared, humour in her eyes.
"I know I know, I'm completely wrapped around her finger and she's only 2 days old." I laughed. We both stopped talking after that and went back to gazing at our child.

"We're here!" Hanna shouted, bursting into the room followed by Caleb, Spencer, Toby, Ali and Emily who were all carrying some form of gift.
"Hey guys, how have you been?" I asked, laughing at the sight of them all being weighed down by the presents they were carrying. "I hope all these gifts are not for us, because I don't know how they are all going to fit in this room." I said, chuckling.
"Well technically they're not for you, they're for our beautiful little niece in your arms." She replied, cooing the last bit at Callie. I carefully passed to an eagerly awaiting Hanna and went to help the other girls with what they were carrying.
"And dude, we are not carrying this stuff all the way to the cars again to get rid of it, so here you go." Caleb joked, placing the gifts he was carrying in an empty corner of the room with the others quickly following suit.
"Oh I don't mind, but you know who will..." I trailed off.
"Who will what?" Aria said, as she opened the door to the adjoining bathroom to our private room. She stopped in her tracks when she noticed the flamboyant gifts piled in the corner of the room. "What is this?" She asked slowly, pointing to the presents.
"Presents?" Emily answered, tentatively. "We just wanted to help you guys out, being new parents and all."
"Yeah, and we promise you that all this stuff is completely useful, it's not any unnecessary stuff we promise. Just please, let us do something to help you guys and our baby niece." Spencer pleaded, a chorus of 'yeah's' in agreement sounded throughout the room. I glanced over at Aria and saw her release a sigh and I knew that she had forgiven them.
"Fine, but promise me guys, no more presents, at least for a while okay?" Aria compromised.
"We promise." They all said at the same time. Everyone burst out laughing which quickly released the tension in the room. I pulled Aria to my side and wrapped an arm around her waist.
"I think becoming a Mum has made you soft." I teased, kissing her forehead.
"Maybe it has, but look at their faces, how can you say no to that?" She joked.
"Okay it's my turn, let me hold her!" Someone declared.
We both chuckled whilst watching the chaos that was, our family.
