Yay final chapter! I want to thank every single person who reviewed my story. Every time I check my email and see a notification in my inbox it makes my day just a little bit brighter. This was originally going to have one or two more chapters but with January second closing in I wanted to post it fast. One day I may add more chapters to it but if (and that's a big if) I do, it will be months from now.If you are bored waiting for tonight you can check out my youtube channel /user/mandrewba/videos. My Anti Aria/Noel, Anti Aria Jason vid has more negative votes than positive and this just can't happen. Thanks to my amazing beta xxxTrojan-Princessxxx.

A few weeks later the newly reunited family was walking through the park enjoying the day and being together.

Ezra was still getting used to the freedom and enjoyed being outside in the fresh air. He was amazed, he never realised just how much a person would take for granted until it was taken away.

He looked at his wife and then at the little baby in his arms and smiled, wondering how he could have possibly gotten so lucky to have them both in his life

"Have I told you how much I love you?" Ezra asked.

"Not in the last five minutes," she replied cheekily.

"Well then we will just have to rectify that now wont we? Mrs. Aria Fitz, I love you more than I could possibly say," he smiled at her.

She leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek before whispering, "I love you too Ezra."

As they were making their way through the beautiful trees and shrubs Aria suddenly froze.

"Let's turn back," she said almost sharply.

"Why, what's going on?" Ezra glanced at her in concern.

She nodded to the clearing 30 feet in front of them. It took Ezra a few seconds before he saw what was causing her distress. Ella and Byron hadn't noticed them yet and Aria clearly did not want to see them so they stepped behind a tree temporarily hiding them from view.

Aria took Kayla in her arms to calm herself down.

"Aria, honey maybe you should talk to them," Ezra suggested timidly.

"How can you even say that, after what they did to you, to us? Aren't you mad at them?" Aria said slightly angrily.

"I was, but then I held our little girl in my arms for the first time and I knew in that moment no matter the cost I would protect her."

Aria made a sound like she was going to interrupt but Ezra kept talking.

"They love you Aria, and I can't fault them for doing whatever they could to try to protect you. They may have gone about it wrong, but try, for me. I know you miss them."

Aria looked like she was going to argue but then sighed, "Why do you always have to be right?"

"Just part of my charm," he replied with a smirk.

Aria took a deep breath as they both stepped out from behind the tree and started walking down the path hand in hand.

It didn't take very long for Aria's parents to notice the couple walking toward them. Their eyes met and both couples froze a good distance away from each other.

The tension was so palpable you could cut it with a knife. Aria looked at Ezra for guidance. He met her gaze and nodded, encouraging her to make the first move.

Aria handed Kayla to Ezra, took a deep breath and crossed no mans land leaving Ezra, and coming face to face with her parents for the first time in over half a year.

It was then that she realized she couldn't think of anything to say. This wasn't an ordinary situation. What do you say to someone who sent the love of your life away? 'Hi sorry I haven't been in touch it's hard to keep in contact when you're managing a pregnancy alone and the father is in jail?'

She finally settled for, "Umm…Hi Mom…Dad…"

"Aria?" Ella started, "Wha-what are you doing here?"

"Ezra and I decided to go for a walk" she said drawing her parents focus to the subject of her statement for a moment. She could see the shock in both their eyes once they returned to hers.

"Is that…"Ella trailed off mid sentence.

"Yes, that's my daughter," Aria said with a small smile that always graced her lips when she thought about Kayla.

"What's her name?" Ella asked

"Kayla Grace Fitz," she replied and noticed Byron's face harden slightly.

"Fitz?" he asked speaking for the first time since the conversation started and Aria could tell he was less than pleased.

"Yes, why not?" Aria said slightly more defensive.

"Rosewood is a small town," he said, "It will cause people talk."

"Yeah Dad? I think a full criminal trial took care of that just fine," she snapped.

An awkward silence fell over them again. At last they had come to it, the proverbial elephant in the room.

"Listen, Aria, we may not like all of your choices but obviously there is nothing we can do now. You are married, and have a kid with him. The truth is, we miss you so we are going to try to understand. Can we come over for coffee tomorrow?" Ella said trying to alleviate the awkwardness.

Aria glanced at her dad to see what his reaction was to this and was surprised when he didn't raise any objections.

"You and Ezra can explain everything that you didn't get a chance to explain earlier," she continued.

Aria glanced over Ezra for a moment and turned back to her parents "Ok, what time do you want to come over?"

"How does 7 O'clock sound?" Ella asked.

"Sounds good," Aria told them.

She made a motion to leave but then Ella asked, "Do you think I can hold her?"

Aria followed her glance to Kayla and could tell Ella was already taken with her.

She looked at Ezra and motioned for him to come over.

He shot her a questioning glance before slowly making his way towards them.

"What's going on?" he asked.

"My mom just wants to hold Kayla for a minute," she told him reassuringly.

Aria slowly picked Kayla up before gently easing her into her mothers waiting arms.

"Hey Kayla," she cooed, "Who's a pretty baby?"

Aria grabbed Ezra's hand, put her head on his shoulder and smiled. She knew that this was far from over and tomorrow would bring a whole onslaught of uncomfortable topics but for the first time she felt as if it might just work out.
