After all these years

Chapter Five

It's been almost four years since Aria had been in rosewood. She was terrified of seeing him. She was terrified of him not wanting anything to do with Maddie. Terrified of him being mad at her for leaving. Terrified of him being mad at her for not telling him about Maddie sooner, and made him miss out on three years of her .

Spencer stopped her car and told her they were here.

Except Aria had no idea where they were.

"Where are we?" Aria asked

"My house, you'll be staying with me. Unless you don't want to" Spencer said obviously pretending to be sad.

"No, no. We'll stay." Aria said happily.

Spencer picked Maddie up and walked into the huge house.

"Do you guys want to share a room or-"

"- share a room!" Aria cut her off.

" okay" Spencer laughed.

She led them up a flight of stairs, into a big room.

"Woah Spence, you don't have to do this."

" I want to, and your welcome to anything in my kitchen. Make your self at home here." Spencer said as she walked out the room.

Aria sat on the bed, while Maddie was struggling to get up on such a big bed, especially for her since she's so young.

No one new she was back in town.

She didn't want any one to know, expect they will.

Aria walked down stairs with Maddie while Spencer was in the kitchen cooking.

"Watch some Tv in there, keep her entertained!" Spencer yelled from her kitchen.

She put Maddie down and saw her immediately climb onto Spencer's couch. Aria laughed at her two year old's struggle, while helping her.

They were watching Frozen and fell asleep.

The door bell rang and some one walked in with out waiting for Spencer to come.

"Hey guys. What are you doing here?" Spencer asked forgetting about Aria in her living room.

"We just wanted to hang out with you. You've been gone." Emily said.

Hanna just walked into Spencer's house and grabbed the remote from Aria's hand, and plopped her self on the couch. Then she screamed

"What's wrong?" Spencer and Emily asked.

Hanna had already woken Aria up.

Hanna and Aria were just staring at each other. Until Hanna noticed a small child on Aria's side.

"Who's that?"

"Why did you leave?"

"Why didn't you call!"

"What's her name ?"

Hanna asked as she kept shooting questions at her not giving Aria time to answer.

Emily and Spencer walked in.

"Girls, this is my daughter Madison"

"Your daughter?" Emily asked.

"Yes I was-" Aria got cut off by Hanna

"Oh my God! I'm so gonna dress her up, and spoiler her. I'm her aunty Hanna!" Hanna said.

Emily rolled her eyes "You were saying?"

"Yea, I was pregnant with Maddie. I found out the night I left." Aria said remembering that night.

"How-" Hanna cut Emily off.

"How old is she?!" Hanna asked squealing.

" I was just about to ask that Hanna" Emily said rolling her eyes.

"She's turning three in a few months." Aria said as her eyes brightened.

"Is she-" Emily started.

"Yes she is, but that's so obvious." Aria said cutting her off.

"Geez every one likes to cut me off" Emily said with a laugh.

"Are you gonna tell him?" Emily asked

"Oh my God Em, of course she will tell him. That's his child. She has no reason to hide it from him, it wouldn't be fair to him nor Maddie."

Hanna said while watching the sleeping toddler.

"When?" Spencer asked

"I was actually-" Hanna cut her off.

"You have to do this soon, before he misses out on too much of her life. She needs a father."
