Hello everyone! I'm new to the world of Pretty Little Liars fanfiction, and my favorite ones are always Ezria baby stories. I love the different storylines people come up with, and the kids are always adorable, so I decided I'd try my luck at one.

I hope you like it and please remember to review! I'd love to hear feedback and predictions on what will happen later in the story.

Thanks!

She had always wondered where that horrible day had gone wrong.

It had started out well enough. She had accepted facts and was ready to tell Ezra about the baby. Sure, she was only twenty (almost twenty-one) but she had always wanted a big family. Might as well start early.

She always thought it started when she said 'How was your day, baby?'

Because it must've been a pretty damn bad day for what happened after that.

She can't even remember what the argument was or how it started, exactly. She remembered some of his words. She wished she didn't.

"God, Aria, you're always in my face. Ever heard of personal space?"

"I know you're cheating on me with that Jake kid."

"Why don't you appreciate the time I can give you? You're an attention whore. I give you an inch, you wanted a mile."

"I should never have dated a child. I should've stayed with a woman…like Jackie."

And her least favorite words…

"Just leave me alone, Aria."

"For how long?" Her voice was soft and pathetic.

"Forever."

She had left then, tears in her eyes, not looking at Ezra. She grabbed her pregnancy test, her congratulations note for him, and whatever clothes her hands touched. She stayed in a hotel for a couple days before trying to call him, hoping he had cooled off.

His number was disconnected.

She tried calling Wes next.

"Wes, hey, I really need to talk to Ezra."

"Oh, uh, hey Aria. I really can't talk right now. Or…ever. Look, I love ya, Ari, but you can't call me anymore. I love you, but Ezra is my brother, and-,"

She'd hung up then, tears in her eyes. She finally understood what Ezra had been telling her.

He didn't want her anymore.

So she did exactly what he wanted.

Aria said goodbye to her friends and packed up her belongings, giving her loved ones a lame ass excuse about 'finding herself' before dropping off the face of the planet.

People looked for her, of course they did, but she was an expert hider.

Until she was found.

"Mommy?" A little hand shaking her jolted her out of slumber. She peeled her eyes open to find her four-year-old son, Zack, staring back at her with his big gray eyes.

…just like his father's.

"What is it, baby?" She sat up and pulled him into the bed with her, kissing his little forehead. "Did you have a bad dream?"

"Yeah," Zack whimpered.

"What was it about?"

"We're learning about families in school," he said. She nodded and he continued. "Well, Miss Fleds said that most families have a mommy and a daddy and a gramma and a grandpa and aunts and uncles and cousins. And yesterday we all had to draw a picture of our families and McKayla has three older brothers and a mommy and a daddy and a step mommy, and Hayden has a baby sister and a mommy and a daddy, and Danny drew his whole family and it was huge with a bunch of aunts and uncles and cousins."

"Okay," she urged. "What was the dream about, Zackie?" But she knew. And she had always dreaded this day.

"Well, our next assignment is to bring in a picture of our families, and everyone else has so much family but…" he began to sniffle. "I don't even got a daddy. Just a mommy and a sister, but everyone already knows my sister."

"Are you afraid the other kids will make fun of you, Zack?" she asked.

He nodded, not meeting her eyes. "I love you, Mommy, but when our families get to come in to school to see our work, I'm only gonna have you while everyone else gets more people. And I'll have to share you with Sophie." He looked up at her with his large Ezra-eyes. "Why don't I have a daddy?"

Aria sighed and kissed Zack's forehead again before quickly climbing out of bed and walking over to her closet. She reached up and grabbed a silver box out of the shelf in her closet. In it were all of her memories of Ezra.

She removed the discs of their favorite old movies and set them off to the side along with a pile of pictures of herself with Ezra and Emily and Hanna and Spencer. She pulled out a picture in a silver frame of herself and Ezra on her twentieth birthday. She was wearing a tiara that Hanna had gotten her and Ezra was holding her bridal style. Her face was in his chest, while he was smiling at the camera. Aria handed Zack the photo.

"That's him." She pointed to Ezra, letting a few tears slide down her cheeks.

Zack stared at the picture for a few minutes, smudging the frame as he attempted to trace the lines of his father's face.

"What happened to him?" Zack asked, handing the photo back to her. "Did he die?"

She sniffed, tracing Ezra's face, adding her smudges to her son's. She reached out to run her fingers through his hair. "No, he didn't die, Zackie. He just doesn't want me."

"Why? You're so pretty, Mommy."

Aria smiled ruefully at the picture before putting it back in the box and taking out a picture with a gold frame. The glass was slightly cracked, just a thin line down the middle, right through Aria's face in the photograph. It was her and Ezra standing outside their favorite NYC café. She missed that café. The photo caught her mid-laugh, with her hair blowing in the wind and her blue sunglasses on her face. Ezra's arm was slung around her shoulder and he was laughing with her. Aria handed that photo to her son.

He looked at it for a second, "Why is it broken?"

Aria sighed. "Well, me and your daddy had a big fight before you were born. I can't even remember what it was about, Zackie. He told me that…that he didn't want me. When I was leaving, I accidentally knocked this off the dresser. It cracked, but I brought it with me anyways. I always liked that picture."

"Oh," Zack said, handing her back the picture. "Then you should keep it out. If you like it."

"I will, Zack." She placed the picture on her nightstand. "I have one for you, too. And another for Sophie, but I'll give it to her later."

She pulled out the picture, one of Ezra alone. He was just grinning at the camera, looking happy. It was taken a couple weeks before their fight, and Aria had always intended to give it to Zack. She handed it to him. "You look like him. You have his eyes."

"Oh," then he sighed. "Will he come to family day at my preschool?"

"No," Aria answered immediately. "If you want to meet your daddy, Zack, you'll have to find him yourself. And I can't help you. I know Ezra would love you, but I don't think he wants to see me."

"Was that his name?" Zack asked. "Ezra?"

"Yeah." Aria sighed. "Ezra." She looked at the clock. It was already 6:30. Zack wasn't going back to bed, and Sophie would be up any minute.

"Want some breakfast, baby?"

He perked up. "Coco Puffs?"

She laughed and ruffled his hair. "Sorry, bud, you and Soph finished them off yesterday. How about some oatmeal instead? The apple kind? We can go shopping after preschool."

"'Kay," Zack agreed. "I'm gonna put this in my room." He pressed the picture to his chest and darted off to his room. Aria heard him talking to his favorite stuffed animal, an elephant he had named Josh. She knew he would have a meltdown if Josh ever got lost.

She sighed and looked back at the things spread over the bed. Still in the box were all the letters she had tried to send him after he banished her and moved, apparently. She got all five of the letters back from his fancy apartment, telling her that Ezra Fitz had moved and that they no longer knew his residence. After Zack and Sophie were born, she tried to send a picture and a letter to Wes' place, but it was again sent back, undisturbed. After that point, she had accepted the fact that he didn't want to be involved and that he didn't want her to find him, so she packed her bags, changed her name, and moved to a newly developing town that had still yet to be named.

When Aria had arrived with the 6 month old twins, she raised a few eyebrows. What was a 21-year-old doing with two infants? But most of her neighbors got over it pretty quickly. Soon, Marie (her middle name) Montgomery and her kids were pretty much part of the forest side town.

"Mommy?" Zack called. "Can I watch TV?"

"Sure," Aria called back. "Just a second, baby."

She looked away from the stuff spread all over her bed and quickly left her room, deciding she'd deal with her Ezra box later.

She stopped by Sophie's room, finding the fashion-forward girl trying to decide what outfit to wear. Aria leaned against the doorway, watching her daughter for a second.

"I think you should wear the sky blue shirt with the navy sweater and the white skirt." She said. "I can do double braids in your hair."

Sophie thought for a minute before nodding. "That sounds good, mommy."

"Okay, Soph, why don't you stay in your PJs until after breakfast? We're having oatmeal."

Sophie nodded and Aria bent down to pick her up. She deposited her daughter next to Zack, who had successfully turned the TV to Disney jr., where Jake and the Neverland Pirates was playing. He had Josh on his lap, and Sophie grabbed Bailey the tiger from the couch, where she had been abandoned the day before.

Aria boiled some water and put Zack's favorite instant oatmeal in it, the apple cinnamon kind, and cut some fresh apple into it. Sophie preferred the maple brown sugar, but Aria made her eat something else with it so that she was getting some other source of energy.

"Banana, orange, or apple?" She called to Sophie.

"Um…apple!" Sophie called back.

"Okay," she began to cut up the rest of the apple. "Apple juice, orange juice, water, or milk?"

She watched the twin four-year-olds conference, before Sophie called back, "Milk for me, apple for Zack."

She called them in to eat at the kitchen table, giving them their bowls, and giving two bowls of pretend food for Bailey and Josh, as she did every morning. She ate a piece of toast and watched her kids, glancing at the clock. It was only seven. She had to tell Sophie about Ezra before Zack beat her to it.

"Sophie," she said once they had all finished. "Do you want to go get dressed?"

"Yeah," Sophie hopped off her chair, wiping her hands on her pajamas. "Let's go, mommy."

They walked into the bright room covered in Sophie's drawings. Aria began to pull out the items that her daughter would be wearing.

"So Zack told me that you guys are studying families in preschool…"

So that's the first chapter. It introduced Aria, Zack, and Sophie, and the next chapter will introduce more characters, including Ezra...:)

Please review! I would love to know what you think and if I should continue this idea.

Thanks everyone!
