(3 weeks before aria's due date.)
Ezra's POV
After a long day at work, I finally arrive at my home.
"Ezra?" Aria asks when I enter our bedroom.
"Honey why aren't you asleep?" I ask her.
"I missed you." She says softly.
"I missed you too." I say as I put on pajama pants and lay down next to her.
Aria gets as close to me as she can with her baby bump in the way.
"You're due in three weeks." I say as I rub her swollen stomach.
"I know." Aria says with a mix of worry and excitement.
"I think we should ask your mom to stay with us until the baby is born. That way if you go into labor while I'm at work you'll have someone." I say with a smile.
"Okay." Aria says with a yawn.
"You're exhausted!" I say sympathetically.
A moment passes by and I don't get a response.
"Aria?" I say confused.
Instead of getting a response, I hear Aria snoring softly. I laugh, turn off the lights, and let sleep overtake my tired body.
Line Break
At about three o'clock in the morning I hear a shrill scream coming from Aria's side of the bed.
"Ezra!" She cries panicked.
"Honey what is it? Is everything okay?" I ask as I turn on the lights.
"My water just broke." Aria says nervously.
I pull the sheets off Aria's body and realize that they are soaking wet.
"How can this be happening? You're not due for another three weeks." I say shocked.
"Ezra I'm not ready." Aria says as she begins to sob.
"Yes, you are ready. Stay here and work on your breathing while I get everything taken care of." I say before kissing Aria's forehead and scurrying out of the room.
The fist thing I do is call ella and ask her if she can come over. Ella says that she can and I start to gather Aria's things.
About ten minutes later ella arrives at my house.
"Aria, it's time to go to the hospital." I say as I run my hand along her cheek.
"Okay." Aria says through her heavy breathing.
"Do you need help getting to the car?" I ask her.
Aria groans in response.
"I'll take that as a yes." I say as lift her shaking body.
I lay her down in the backseat of the car and start the journey to the hospital with ella.
"Ezra this hurts so much!" Aria says as she begins sob.
"Hang in there baby, we are almost to the hospital." I say as I step on the gas.
Less than a moment later a cop pulls us over.
"Why are we stopping?" Aria asks irritated.
"It's ok baby, try and stay calm." ella said to her.
"You're driving way past the speed limit." The officer says before I can respond to Aria.
"Please let me go officer, my wife is in labor and I need to get her to the hospital." I beg.
"Do you know how many times I've heard that lame excuse?" The officer asks with an eye roll.
