(At the hospital)
Aria-
I couldn't believe what the doctor told me. Am I really pregnant? It must have been that night when Ezra told me about our book release. I was just so happy that the book worked out and I got caught up in the moment. Honestly, some of my feelings for Ezra never left me. I could still feel his hugs every time he saw me. I was in heaven. I looked at Ezra and he was just as shocked as I was.

I asked the doctor if I could speak with Ezra alone for a minute and so he asked if I wanted to see the baby that's growing inside of me. Ezra and I were dying to see it. It brought a tear to our eyes. Ezra is just the best boyfriend ever and I love that it's his child but is this a good thing?

Ezra-
I looked up at the doctor as he gave us the news. I wanted to know what was going on. He felt her belly and I was hoping nothing was wrong.
He told us she was pregnant. I remembered that it's from the night I told her. She was so happy. We were so happy. That made our feelings connect again after a 5 year break. We just couldn't help but get caught in the moment. We made love. We made a baby.
Aria showed plenty of emotions. As so did I. I was happy for her and us. I want her to have this baby but any decision she makes I will support her throughout. I love her and I want the best for her.

(The ride home)

Aria-
I sat in the car holding the picture close to my heart. Its taking a while to sink in. Oh how everything will change if I have the baby. Our whole lives will be different. But I want Ezra to be happy. I wanna be happy for him. For us. We can finally reconnect after all these years. We can have a family. It will be perfect. I couldn't help but cry on the way home. It was a very emotional thing that happened. I grabbed Ezra's hand as lovingly as I could and I pray that everything will be ok. I looked at Ezra with happiness. I smiled. He smiled. We smiled together. We love each other and that's what counts. Ezra's so sweet. He's very supportive. I don't know why he would want to stay with me.

Ezra-
She was looking beautiful on the way home. We both shed a year. I kept looking at her to make sure she was ok. She seemed happy but she cried for most of the way home. I reached for her hand hoping she would grasp mine. I want her to be happy. I want her to know that everything was going to be ok. I couldn't help but sympathise for her. She probably wouldn't want to tell anyone because it's a massive shock. I wanna help her get through this and she knows that I'm always going to be there for her. We're partners in crime. 'Two peas in a pod' as they say.

(Back at the brew)

Aria-
We held hands all the way home. He's just so supportive. I know that he'll be there for me when I need him. I can always count on him. He's special. He's mine. He's the daddy. I couldn't ask for more. It's perfect. I can't help but cry.
Quickly though, I wiped away my tears when we arrived back at the brew. I gave Ezra a big hug and he hugged me back.
I saw Spencer and Emily waiting for us on the couch. I didn't want to tell them yet. It's too soon. It's so sudden and it would change things too quickly. I asked Ezra if we can keep it a secret. Just for now. I knew he wouldn't mind. He understands. He's so much more than what I would ever ask for from a boyfriend. I didn't want to accidentally blurt it out so I went upstairs. The girls thought that I was just tired. Ezra invited them up stairs to keep me company. I thought that it would ruin the chance to keep it quiet but I never spelled. The girls left to give me a bit of peace and quiet.
Ezra came up to check on me after work. I sat on the sofa hoping to get comfortable. He got up and sat in front of me. I had no idea what he was going to do. It looked like he was gonna propose or something. He lifted my shirt and I had no idea why. When he leaned forward I knew it was for the baby. His rosy red lips touched my belly giving me a tingling feeling. He is so sweet. He's the reason I want the baby. He was such a good father to Malcolm anyway.

Ezra-
We promised to keep this a secret for the sake that it wouldn't change everything for now. Aria looked at me with her sparkly eyes and we hugged knowing that it was going to be ok. Spencer and Emily kindly came to check up on her. Her friends are always there for her. I wish I had friends like that. They asked if I was ok which is respectful of them to ask. But their concerns were with Aria and so are mine. I made it up that she was tired so that she could rest and not have to go through the struggle hiding it. Meanwhile I didn't want her to be alone so I asked if they'd like to keep her company while I checked on things down here.

I went upstairs after a while to check on Aria since the girls had left to let her sleep since she has to take it easy. I sat with her for a while but I couldn't help but think and remind myself that it's my baby. It's our baby. That makes me so happy. I got down in front of her on both needs and I leaned to kiss her stomach. She touched my head as if to say it's yours, it's ours, I love you Ezra. The touch from my lips to her stomach made it so hard to back away knowing that she had our baby growing inside of her. My job isn't just to look after Aria now but the baby. I need to keep them safe.
