The Learning Experience

Seven

Aaliyah and Ezra came back from their absence. Aaliyah had exams and now she had to wait for her grades to come back. Hearing the alarm on their clock, Aaliyah felt Ezra reached over and turned the alarm off. "Can we just stay like this?" She asked him.

"I wished we could, but we have to go back."

Aaliyah turned to face him. "Really?" She said. "I have you..."

Ezra watched as she ran off to the bathroom. "Aaliyah?"

"I'm fine." She said as she walked back in.

"Are you sure?"

Aaliyah nodded as she crawled on top of him. Ezra looked at her causing her to smile. "I think we have some time before going to work."

Ezra didn't say a word as he knew that Aaliyah wanted to spend a little more time with him before they went to work.

Aria smiled as she saw her sister walking out of the bathroom, but her smile faded as her sister ran back in. "Aria, is something wrong with Aaliyah?'

"I don't know, but I'm going to find out." She said as she walked to the bathroom. "Aaliyah?"

"What?"

"Are you okay?"

"No." She said as she walked out. "I think I need mom."

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, but I know she will."

Aria nodded. "I'll call her. Go to Ezra's class and wait till she gets here."

Aaliyah nodded as she watched her sister leave. She pulled a test out and sighed as this was something she was not expecting to happen. Sighing, Aaliyah knew what she must do.

Positive. Aaliyah thought they were being safe, but it looks like it didn't work. Ella saw her daughter's face as she arrived to see her pale. "Aaliyah?"

She looked at her mom not knowing what to say. "I think I need to go to the hospital." She said feeling dizzy.

Ella grabbed her oldest as Ezra was walking through the hall to see Aaliyah's face. "Aaliyah?' He said as he ran to her.

"I'll get her to the hospital, you tell the principal that you need to leave early."

Ezra nodded as Aaliyah held onto her mom. He went looking for Jack just to see him watching Aria kissing Noel. "Jack." He looked away. "I'm leaving early."

"Why?"

"Ella just came and took Aaliyah to the hospital. She looks like she's ready to pass out." He tells her. "This morning she was sick..."

"Ezra, have you thought that maybe she could be pregnant."

Ezra looked at his best friend shocked. His girlfriend could be pregnant. He left without saying a word. His mind was on Aaliyah. "Mr. Fitz." He looked at Aria. "Let me know if my sister is okay."

"I will."
~~~
It was dark when Aaliyah woke up to see Ezra by her side. "Why are you here?"

"You're my girlfriend. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Because I'm pregnant." She tells him.

Ezra was shocked, but kissed her. Aaliyah was shocked as she kissed back. Aria walked in and stopped seeing them kissing. She cleared her throat. They pulled back and looked to see Aria. "What's wrong?"

"You're going to be an aunt." Aaliyah said.

Aria smiled as she walked over to her sister and hugged her. Ezra smiled as he looked at Aaliyah. "I'll go get you some food."

"Okay."

Aria smiled as he left. "Hanna was hit." She said as she finally broke.

Aaliyah hugged her as she listened to Aria about what happened. She sighed as this was not how her little sister's night was supposed to go, but it happened. "She's strong." She said. "Hanna will be alright. I promise."

"Thanks." She said.

"Go home and get some sleep."

Aria nodded as she left. Aaliyah looked out the window wondering who would try to harm Hanna Marin.
