Lost & Found-Ezria

Chapter 17

6 months later

"Okay love, I'm off to work. See you tonight." Ezra said sweetly, leaning over the desk to kiss me goodbye. I smiled and kissed back, careful not to knock down the cup of coffee on my desk.

I was working from my house, well our house, while Ezra was a professor at Hollis. I was working as a publisher full time and couldn't be happier. A lot has happened since Ezra and I have gotten back together. For starters, we moved in together, Both Hanna and Spencer got back together with Caleb and Toby, and we were all just insanely happy.

I smiled as I looked to my right, seeing the framed picture of Ezra and I. There was a smaller picture next to it as well, one of Hanna, Emily, Spencer and I.

I smiled and turned back to my computer, focusing on the task at hand.

"Aria, come on! Our reservations are for 8!" Ezra cried from the bottom of the stairs.

"Okay, I'm coming!" I replied, slipping one shoe on and running down the steps. We were going out with my three best friends and their significant others, and we were almost already late.

"You look stunning." Ezra said, smiling. He wrapped his arm around my waist and gave my a light peck on the forehead. 

We both made our way to the car, hand in hand, and started our trek to the restaurant. I didn't pay much attention to where we were going in the car–I hadn't been feeling well all day, but I didn't want to cancel on our friends either. 

Ezra reached over and rested his hand on my thigh. 

"Love, we've arrived." He said softly, snapping me out of my thoughts.

I looked around us, and took in the overwhelmingly familiar surroundings. We weren't at the restaurant, though.

"You took me to Snookers?" I asked, confused.

"Just wait." He said, smiling. I didn't know what to respond, and before I could think of something, he had already opened the car door. I decided to continue on without a fuss, not having the energy to fight this.

We walked into the bar, and I realized that the entire room was crowded with people. Everyone in the room turned to me, and I knew exactly what was happening. Spencer, Emily, and Hanna stood directly to my right, huge smiles on their faces.

I opened my mouth to speak with them, but I was cut off by an obviously nervous Ezra.

"Come on, you can talk to them later." he said quickly, nudging me in the direction of the bar. I sighed, and propped myself on the tall stool. We were surrounded by friends and family, and there was a very visible square-shaped outline in Ezra's pocket.

"Aria, uh.." Ezra spoke quickly, and paused to take a break. I didn't know what I could do to help him, but he seemed to recover just fine when I flashed him a smile.

"We always here such speculation about "The One"; how many don't even think it exists, or how it's incredibly rare. I guess I'm the lucky one, then. I found the one, and i am so incredibly grateful to have you in my life. We didn't get this love easily, but you know what they say: the best things in life don't come free to us. I don't deserve you, Aria. I don't deserve your beauty and grace and all-around existence. I am so lucky to have such an intelligent, stunning, and incredible woman in my life. That being said... will you marry me?" Ezra said. He seemed less nervous, and didn't seem to be affected by the numerous clusters of people crowded around us. 

I had tears streaming profusely down my face, and I could barely answer how hard I was sobbing. I choked out a barely audible 'yes' and threw my arms around Ezra's neck. The room echoed with 'awwws' and we both smiled, excited for our future as husband and wife.

"E-Ezra? Can you come here?" Aria said shakily from the room next to my office. I immediately rushed toward the bathroom and opened the door forcefully, automatically assuming something was wrong.

It was quite the opposite, though–Aria was sitting on the ledge of the bathtub with a smile on her face. We had just moved into our new house, and it had been four months since I proposed. I was eagerly awaiting the wedding, which was in less than a month.

"What is it, love?" I asked, confused. 

"Uh, I guess I should just show you..." She laughed shakily, and handed me a small stick. It was a pregnancy test, and there we two lines down the middle.

"O-Oh my god. Are you sure?" I asked excitedly, obviously beaming with joy.

"Yes!" Aria said, tears streaming down her face.

I rushed towards her and immediately pulled her in for a hug.

"We're going to be parents." I said, unable to believe how lucky I was.
