The Learning Experience

Eight

After finding out that she was expecting, Aria telling her that someone saw her and Jake making out, and Hanna being released from the hospital. Aaliyah woke up smiling to a new day. She got up and started getting dressed when she smelt something. "Ezra?" She asked as she walked out of the room. "I need to go to dad's and tell him. No one knows anything about the baby yet."

"Sure." He said as he kissed her. "Go. I'll see you at work."

Aaliyah smiled as she walked out of the apartment. Ezra smiled as he couldn't get over the fact that he was going to be a father.

"Dad?"

"Aaliyah, hey." He said as Aria and Mike smiled at them.

"Your mom said you was in the hospital."

"Yeah." She said. "Um...I'm pregnant."

Bryon looked at his eldest shocked. "This...this is wonderful news." He said hugging her. "Better then your mom dating other people."

"What?"

Mike nodded as he hugged her. "I'll tell you all about it." He tells her as they walked away.

At work, Aaliyah walked with Mike when they heard Noel. "Miss. Montgomery, Mike..."

"Noel, I am very busy today...'

"There's a student who is having an affair with her teacher." Noel tells them.

Aaliyah closed her eyes. "Noel, I'm pregnant and I am staying out of it." She tells him. "Now, if you excuse me, but Ezra is waiting for me."

Mike watched his sister walk away. "Man, whoever it is, don't stress her out."

"I won't."

In the classroom, Aaliyah was writing on the board as Ezra walked in. "Noel threatened Jake." He tells her. "If he didn't get change his grade."

Aaliyah sighed as she sat down. Ezra rubbed her shoulders and kissed her head making her smile. The students walked in and one by one they  all congratulated the couple on the news of Aaliyah's pregnancy. Aaliyah smiled as they all said that. "Ready to start class?"

"Yeah."
~~~
Later that day, Aaliyah walked out of her and Ezra's class when she heard Noel and Jake. She looked at him as she didn't like this boy no more. "What did my sister ever see in that boy?"

"He was her rebound." Ezra said.

"True." She said as she looked at Ezra. "My first appointment is coming up and I have to see what my grade is."

"I'm sure you passed. Now, let's go home and fix dinner."

Aaliyah smiled. "That sounds amazing."
~~~
At their apartment, Aaliyah was fixing the salad as Ezra went to answer the door to see Jake. "Came to celebrate with my two friends over the news of their child." He said making Aaliyah laugh. "Thank you, I need that after the blackmail I went through today because of Noel."

"We heard. Aria told me everything." She said.

Jake nodded as he watched her and Ezra share a kiss. That is the one thing that he wished he could have with Aria. He left them alone as Aaliyah and Ezra had something else in mind. Aaliyah pulled back smiling. "I love you."

"I love you." He said as he kissed her.

Aaliyah leaned over and turned the stove off. She grabbed him and dragged him to the couch to continue what they had started.
~~~
The next day, Aaliyah and Ezra watched Jake packing his things after he told the he resigned. They walked with him just to hear the principal and looked at him. Ezra and Aaliyah shared a look as they walked away with their friend. "Aaliyah." She looked at the principal. "Congrats."

"Thank you." She said as she walked away with Ezra and Jake. "Wondered what happened?"

"Who told is the question." Ezra said as he looked at Jake. "You and Aria are safe now."

"Yeah, but for how long till it actually comes out in the open."

"That will be the day we find out, but for now, you're safe and so is my sister." Aaliyah said. "I am going to go get a snack and I'll see you in a minute."

"Sure." He said kissing her before she left to get her a snack. "Go, Jake. I'm going to wait for Aaliyah."

"See you tomorrow."

Ezra nodded as he went to the teachers lounge to wait for Aaliyah. She turned around and smiled as she wasn't expecting for him to wait for her. Taking his hand, the two walked away talking about what they should have tonight for dinner.
