As tired as Aria had been, not a lot of sleeping was done that night. As she was just about to nod off, Ezra had kept asking questions, having name ideas or wanting to feel her stomach and talk to their baby. It amazed him that he hadn't noticed how swollen Aria's belly had become but then he thought about the type of flowing outfits that Aria chose to wear. They eventually fell asleep at around 3am and stayed that way until they were awoken by an obnoxious ringing sound. "What the? Make it stop!" Aria groaned. It made him chuckle hearing how grumpy his girlfriend was in the morning. Ezra walked to answer the phone in the living room of his small apartment. On the other end of the line he could hear Ella sounding chirpy as ever. This was especially annoying considering that Ezra still believed it to be the middle of the night.

"Good morning you two! I'm just checking what time you were planning to come over? Tell Aria that I've made her favorite, chocolate chip pancakes and that the girls are all here." She's far too excited for ten in the morning thought Ezra as he grunted in agreement and sleepily skulked off to awaken his girlfriend. Aria had tossed off the sheet from across her body revealing to him that she was all but naked apart from her underwear. Ezra couldn't help but want to take her in his arms and fall back to sleep.

Before he knew it, he felt a pounding on his side. Aria was up and had clearly decided that she would wait no longer to start the rest of their lives. She continued to hit him with a pillow until he sat up and restrained her arms and kissed her until she surrendered. "I win." He declared proudly.

"Come on Mr Fitz. That's cheating and you know it! My moms called again, we really should get going before she blurts it out to the girls. You know what she can be like."

Upon arriving at the Montgomery's, Ezra realized that despite what had gone on there last night, he felt really happy to be going back. He held his girlfriends hand as they entered the family kitchen and were caught by five glares. Everyone but Byron had showed up for breakfast. Although Arias best friends Hanna, Spencer and Emily had known about her and Ezra for a long time, they had yet to see them together. It was obvious that the sight of them holding hands in Arias kitchen was not something they had expected. "Hi guys, I'm really glad you all came. You see.. You tell them Ez." Aria squeezed his hand hoping to give him the confidence to say it.

"Well.. Err.. I guess you've known about us for a while. Well not all of you, Ella only found this out last night but erm.. We wanted to let you all know that you're going to be aunties." Ezra recoiled preparing himself for the backlash that was sure to follow. Instead, the girls swarmed towards the couple and engulfed them in a massive group hug whilst shrieking at pitches that Ezra was sure that the neighbors' cats three blocks away had heard.

"Oh my goodness this is amazing! When are you guys due?" Hanna asked.

"Well, that's the thing. I think everyone should sit down." Aria began to tell them the story of how she had come to learn that she was much further along than she had originally thought. They were all surprised to see Ella sat beaming with happiness at this.

"You may be wondering where your father is, Aria." Ella stated. "I've sent him to the bank to get some money and if it's alright with you two then we'd like to take you shopping this afternoon and buy you a pram or a crib or whatever it is that you need to get you started. Seeing as you're so far along, we really shouldn't waste any time." Aria's friends awed at the gesture and Aria graciously accepted knowing that that would be a massive weight off of their minds.

They all dug in to Ella's famous pancakes and discussed the baby. Aria was amazed at how well this seemed to be going for them. Well, despite Ezra's head having required two pain killers that morning. She kissed the spot on Ezra's lip where he had left chocolate sauce and then whispered in his ear, "I love you Mr. Fitz." She declared proudly.
