Gabby's 1st Birthday

*Wednesday June 21st*

Aria's POV

Gabriella's 1st birthday is today. I have loved having her in my life for the past year. Ezra enjoyed having Gabby in his life. I was excited to have the summer off so I could spend more time with Gabby. I only had one more year of UCLA left before graduation. Last week our nanny "Quit". Well that's what Ezra thinks but I actually fired her. My snowflake necklace went missing and I'm pretty sure she stole it. The necklace was special because Ezra had bought it during Christmas time my senior year of high school right before the ice ball.

I was at the library for mommy and me class this morning. Ezra was busy working so I had Gabby with me when I went to the grocery store and ran a few other errands. By the time I got back to the apartment it was close to dinner time. I was so busy today that I gave Gabby her bottle while we were out but I haven't eaten anything since breakfast this morning.

Ezra's POV

It was around 4 pm when our babysitter/nanny walked into Cappuccino Books Cafe. Aria told me that she quit last week.

"Can we talk about my job?" She asked

"Yes, We can go upstairs to talk about it in a few minutes once this place is a little less busy." I said

About 30 minutes later we walked upstairs to the apartment so we could talk.

"I was really hopping if possible I could get my job back as Gabriella's babysitter/nanny?" She asked

"That depends on one answer to this question I'm about to ask you. Why did you quit your job in the first place?" Ezra asked

"I didn't quit my job as Gabriella's babysitter/nanny, Aria fired me." She said

"Really because that's not what Aria said. According to my wife you quit your job." I said

"Aria fired me last week and she didn't even tell me why. I assumed that it was because Aria was going to be off UCLA for the summer meaning she would be home for Gabriella." She said

"I would love to give you your job back but I really should talk to Aria first." I said

"I understand but just so you know I really enjoyed taking care of Gabriella." She said

"I'm sure once I talk to Aria you can have your job back." I said

Aria walked into the apartment moments later.

"What is she doing here?" Aria asked

"She walked into Cappuccino Books cafe and wanted to talk about her job." I said

"You mean the job that she quit." Aria said

"Aria, I know that she didn't quit because she told me you fired her." I said

"That's a lie because I didn't fire her, she got herself fired." Aria said

"Aria, I don't know exactly what you are talking about but the point is she didn't quit and you lied to me." I Yelled

"She stole my snowflake necklace so I had no choice but to fire her." Aria Yelled

"I didn't steal anything so you wrongfully fired me Aria." She said

"Then explain to me why I noticed my snowflake necklace was missing right after you left the apartment." Aria Yelled

"You must have just misplaced it Aria." She said

"Aria, you can't accuse her of stealing the necklace without proof that she did." Ezra said

"Why are you taking her side Ezra?" Aria asked

"I'm not taking her side Aria but you can't accuse someone of something that they might not have done." I Yelled

Just then something looked off with Aria. I didn't think she was having dizzy spells again but maybe this was something else Aria was lying to me about.

"Aria, are you alright?" I asked

"Yes, I'm fine." Aria said

Aria wasn't fine because less then a minute later she fainted. I called 911 because Aria needed medical attention and it was faster then me driving her to the hospital. 

"I need you to stay with Gabriella until I know what is going on with Aria." I said to our babysitter/nanny

"I don't think Aria would want me to do that." She said

"Aria doesn't really get to decide this right now." I said

"Your right so I will gladly stay here with Gabriella." She said

An hour later I was at the hospital and still waiting to hear news about Aria.

"Mr. Fitz, your wife is awake now." A nurse said

"Can I see her and can someone tell me why she fainted?" I asked

"Follow me to Aria's hospital room and you can see her." The nurse said

5 minutes later I was in Aria's hospital room. A doctor was in the room. He told me that Aria was just severally dehydrated and had likely skipped a meal which explains why she fainted. Once the doctor left the hospital room Aria and I were able to talk. 

"Aria, did you skip lunch today?" I asked

"Where is Gabby?" Aria asked

"With our babysitter/nanny but please Aria just answer my question honestly." I said

"I didn't eat lunch today or have any snacks during the day." Aria said

"Aria you can't not eat all day. I want you to promise me this will never happen again." I said

"I'm sorry Ezra and yes I promise not to skip any more meals but at least I'm not pregnant this time." Aria said

"The doctor told me he thinks you should go to an eating disorder group meeting at least once a week so you have someone that you can talk to." I said

"I'm not anorexic and I don't have any other eating disorder either." Aria said

"I know that but this will help you to not get an eating disorder. I'm just concerned you may have been skipping more meals that I don't know about." I said

"Ezra, why can't you just trust me?" Aria asked

"I trust you but I also agree with the doctor that an eating disorder group meeting would be a good idea." I said

The next morning Aria was released from the hospital. Aria's snowflake necklace was found in Gabriella's baby bag. Aria was still unsure about going to a support group for eating disorders but even if she doesn't have an eating disorder Aria still could be helping herself and someone else.

Thoughts on this chapter?

Next chapter will be July. Ideas for the next chapter would be great.

New Story called "Secrets of the Past" is now posted

What do you think will happen next: for Spoby? for Haleb? for Ezria? for Emison? for Jason/Kayla?

Any other ideas?

What characters should have scenes together?

Who should be involved in a love triangle? I already have two possible love triangles. Jason, Hanna, Caleb (Will end with Haleb) and Wren, Spencer, Toby (Will end with Spoby). The Love Triangles are only for the drama.
