Pregnant Little Liars

Home Sweet Home

Two months later
*Aria's POV*

Ezra and I just recently moved about a month ago to a nice little house about ten minutes away from my old house. Our house has two levels, three bedrooms, and a fairly big backyard; just perfect for our little family of four.

I'm about six months pregnant. It's crazy to think that in just a few months, I will be able to meet my baby boy and girl for the very first time!

Spencer and Hanna are both about four months pregnant now. Life for the two of them has been just as crazy as Ezra and I's. Once we announced that we were going to move, Spencer and Toby decided that they want to as well, because there is just no way that they can settle down with triplets in Spencer's house. Her parents won't be gone forever! They found the perfect place for the both of them to raise their family of five just less than five minutes away from us! Hanna, and Caleb want to move too, but Hanna doesn't have a job, and Caleb's job doesn't pay well enough to support a family, so for right now Ashley Marin offered to let them stay with her for as long as they need.

"Hey babe, you'll never guess what I got." Ezra says coming in through the front door of our new home. He is carrying two brown plastic bags in either hand.
I look up from my phone.

"What?" I ask him curiously.

Ezra takes a seat next to me on our little brown couch and opens the bags. He reaches inside and pulls out three different paint color samples.

"I picked these up at the paint store on my way home from work!" He says handing me the card-stock samples. Ezra and I have been trying to decide on a theme for the babies' nursery. We hadn't planned this out beforehand, because we didn't think there would be a possible way for the babies to have a nursery all to themselves, and believe it or not, it's a lot harder than you would think to find a nursery fit for both a boy and a girl.

After a lot of thinking and debating, Ezra and I finally decided to go with a neutral color scheme of beige, cream, and white. We think keeping the colors earthy will make for a great gender neutral nursery, and the creams and browns would look great together in the room we picked. I study the pallets for a while.

"I like this one." Ezra says, pointing to a light shade of tan labelled, 'Balanced beige.'

"I like that one too!" I say smiling. "I also like this one," I say, pointing to a light cream color labelled, 'Creme brûlée'

"I love that one!" Ezra says, nodding in agreement. "Now let's pick the darker brown." He says. Ezra and I stare at the variety of browns and beiges. Its so hard to pick when they all look so similar! Finally Ezra, and I both put our fingers on the exact same one labelled, 'Backdrop'

"Well looks like that's the winner!" Ezra says laughing.

"I guess so!" I say also laughing.

"Oh yeah!" Ezra says snapping his fingers. "I also got you this." He reaches into the grocery bag and pulls out a large bag of dark chocolate covered pretzels.

"Awe thanks!" I say taking the bag from him. "I was craving these!"

"And, I also got you this." he says pulling out a jar of peanut butter.

"You remembered!" I say, taking the peanut butter and hugging him. Chocolate covered pretzels dipped in peanut butter is one of my favorite snacks! It's one of the twins' too, because they seem to always want them! Seriously I crave them 24/ 7!

Ezra laughs. "It's kind of hard to forget when you ask for them every day!"

"Hey!" I yell sounding annoyed. "You try carrying twins around for nine months! Seriously, I feel like a bloated walrus!"

Ezra laughs."But damn, you're the prettiest bloated walrus I've ever seen!" He says, looking into my eyes. His cheeks are puffed up, and I can tell he's trying so hard not to laugh.

I playfully punch him in the arm.

"Ouch! What was that for?" Ezra asks rubbing his arm.

"For calling me a bloated walrus!" I say laughing.

"Hey! It was just a joke! And you called yourself that first." He says defensively.

"Yeah, well it wasn't very funny." I say rolling my eyes. I try not to smile. It cracks me up whenever Ezra tries to be funny because he's really not!

"I don't know how much longer I can handle these pregnancy hormones." Ezra whispers under his breath. "You know you love me." he says putting an arm around me.

"You're right, I do love you." I say kissing him on the lips. Once we pull apart, I focus my attention back on the baby topic.

"Lets talk about names!" I say, opening the bag of chocolate covered pretzels.

"Okay!" Ezra agrees, twisting the lid off of the peanut butter jar.

"I was looking in this book that I got from the library the other day, and I found a few that I really liked!" I say dunking a pretzel into the jar of peanut butter.
I open the notes memo on my phone, and start listing off different names I wrote down.

"For our baby girl I like, Ella after my mom, Polly, Grace, and Olivia, and for our baby boy I like, Michael after my brother, Christian, Benjamin, and Ian."

Ezra nods. "I like those a lot!" He pulls out his phone. "Let me tell you some that I liked!"

"Okay." I agree, glad that Ezra enjoys this as much as I do.

"For baby girl I like the names Sarah, Lucy, Selena, and Brooklyn, and for baby boy I like the names, Justin, Michael, Wesley after my brother, and Mason."

"Hey! We both have Michael on our list!" I say with a mouth full of pretzels.

"I guess we do!" Ezra says laughing. "I think that might mean we have a winner!"

I lean my head on Ezra's chest and sigh. Ezra wraps his arm around me, and rests his chin on my head. I yawn and close my eyes for a brief second. I guess I didn't know how tired I was until now. I snuggle closer to Ezra and feel his warm body up against mine.

I must be the luckiest girl alive. I have the greatest friends imaginable, Ezra and I are expecting twins, I just moved into my dream house, and I have the most loving man alive sitting right next to me. I smile to myself and think about how great my life turning out to be, despite all the chaos and trials that come with it.
