Pregnant Little Liars

Love of a Lifetime

Three Months Later
*Aria's POV*

Today is the day that I transform from Ms. Aria Montgomery, to Mrs. Aria Fitz! That's right, today is the day I get to marry the love of my life!

Today is August thirteenth, the day I have been waiting for since Ezra proposed. The sunny blue sky with an occasional breeze is the perfect indication that the weather is most definitely in our favor for our outdoor wedding. The wedding will be held on the outskirts of Rosewood behind a golf course. They have a perfect little lake with a beautiful garden arranged around it. The perfect wedding venue if I do say so myself.

Emily, Hanna, and I are staying with Spencer for the weekend. Mona and Paige came to help with the babies. The men are all bunking at our place since it's bad luck to see the brides on their wedding day. My mom is coming around nine this morning to help me get ready for my wedding. Ashley, Veronica, and Pam are coming to help too.

The girls and I sit on the sofa in our robes and curlers, nursing the babies. Butterflies swirl around vigorously in my stomach. I can't believe it's today. For months I have counted down the days, and now it's finally here.

"I can't believe today's the day." Emily says, as if she could read my mind. "All my best friends are getting married!"

"I know!" Hanna says, laying Ashley across her shoulder and patting her back.

"I'm going to be Spencer Cavanaugh." Spencer says, smiling widely.

"I'm going to be Aria Fitz." I say, dreamy.

"So Em, when are you getting married?" Hanna asks. Emily laughs.

"I'm not sure. I'm not really thinking that far ahead right now."

"But you and Paige have talked about it right?" I ask. Emily smiles.

"Yeah, we have. It's come up a few times. We just want the time to be right, you know?"

The girls and I nod. "Yeah, we get it."

"Is Paige going to have any children?" I ask, switching the twins to the other side. Emily shakes her head.

"I don't think so. Paige doesn't seem like the mom type." Emily chuckles.

"What about me?" Paige asks, stepping into the room.

"Oh nothing, we were just talking about... nothing." Emily says, sharing secret smiles with us.

"I bet you're saying how lucky you are to have me as a girlfriend." Paige says, leaning down to kiss Emily.

"Here, take her." Emily says, once their moment has passed. "She wants her second mommy." Emily hands Shay over to Paige, and leans back on the sofa.

"All done." Our stylists announce, stepping back to examine their work. The girls and I are all seated on stools in the master bedroom. Hair tools, make up, shoes, and accessories scatter the floor. Emily smiles contagiously, while bouncing Ashley and Shay in her arms. Emily looks absolutely stunning dressed in her knee length pale lavender bridesmaids dress. Hanna, Spencer, and I stand up to look at ourselves in the full length mirror.

Tears well up in my eyes when I see our reflection.

"Look at us." Hanna comments. "We're getting married! We've come so far, and now we're about to become wives." She wipes a tear from the corner of her eye.

"I couldn't be prouder of us." I say, embracing my friends in a group hug.

"I love you guys so much." Spencer says, all choked up. Hanna pulls away.

"Guys we can't cry. We're too hot to cry right now!"

Emily nods. "We'll ruin our make-up done by our very talented stylists!" She says, pointing to Paige, Mona, and the moms.

"You're right." I say sniffing. "We need to stop." Spencer fans her face with her hands, manually trying to dry her tears.

"Girls the limo is here!" Mona calls excitedly. Everyone races out of the room. I take a moment to admire myself in the mirror. I twirl around in my backless, floor length dress ornamented with scallops of lace. The rhinestoned strap running down the back makes me love the dress even more. I pull up the bottom of my dress to reveal my silver stilettos and my silver heart anklet. I twist my engagement ring around my finger.

"I'm getting married." I say to myself. "I'm really getting married."

I peek out through the clubhouse doors, staring down the aisle scattered with flower petals, leading to the alter where I will permanently devote myself to Ezra The audience is filled with people. Not a single empty chair is present. I glance around me at all my loved ones about to accompany me down the aisle. Emily, my maid of honor, Amanda and Talia, my beautiful bridesmaids, Lucy, our adorable little flower girl being escorted down the aisle by my mom since she is only seven months old, and our little ring bearer Ian, who is riding in a wagon being pulled by a second ring bearer who is none other than, Malcolm.

I wait anxiously as the whole crew takes turns walking down the aisle. Just as the last group goes, my dad turns to me.

"Aria, I just wanted to tell you that I couldn't be prouder of the woman you have become. You have delt with things no other eighteen year old should have to, and you have done it with a positive outlook. I love you Pookie Bear, and I'm sorry if I haven't always told you that." My dad says, tears starting to come. "I am so proud to give you away today, to an amazing man who is worthy of all you have to offer."

I wipe the tears from my eyes. I can't cry now! I'm about to walk out in front of a thousand people! Once my dad and I have pulled ourselves together, he holds my hand in his and walks me down the aisle. I look beside me at my best friends who are also being escorted by their daddies. I look to my friends and family at the end of the aisle, waiting for me with huge grins on their face. And then, I look to Ezra. Standing there so professional, the uncontainable smile on his face. The man of my dreams, the love of my life, the person I am about to devote myself to forver.

Before I know it, I'm standing in front of him, about to say our vows. He goes first.

"Aria Marie Montgomery, I didn't think it was possible to find love as deep and genuine as the love we share. From the moment I met you, I have loved you unconditionally. From this day forward, I promise to always love you, care for you, and remind you how lucky I am to have you." Ezra wipes his teary eyes, and I do the same. I promise to always put you first, and our beautiful twin babies that we have been so blessed with. I promise to always give myself to you, and only you. At first it started out as two kids messing around in a bar, and now here I am, about to marry my best friend, the love of my life, my soul mate, with our beautiful son and daughter to accompany us. I must be the luckiest man alive to call you my wife." Tears trickle down my face and I don't do anything to stop them.

The priest clears his throat. "Ezra Fitzgerald, do you take Aria Montgomery as your lawfully wedded wife?" Tears roll down Ezra's cheek.

"I do" he says. Now it's my turn.

"Aria Montgomery, do you take Ezra Fitzgerald to be your lawfully wedded husband."

I find myself saying the two words that I have wanted to say all my life, the two words that will change my life forever.

"I do."
