A/N: Hey guys! Sorry it's been so long! This year has been really stressful and I haven't had any time to do updates, at all! I'm in all AP classes, I run cross country, and I take 2 foreign languages, so I guess you can see why I haven't been updating nearly as often as I did in the summer. However, I have no plans for spring break, so I'm going to try to upload at least 1 chapter every day for a week, then probably on the weekends too. This chapter is short, but I wanted to give you guys something to read until tomorrow. Thanks for all the support! - Gabs


Aria's POV

I felt back to normal, even though I had not yet opened my eyes. I tried to remember what exactly had happened, but I failed to no avail. I remembered that I had been having really bad morning sickness this morning, but that was all that registered in my mind. I wondered what time it was. It couldn't possibly still be the morning. All I knew was that I was laying on something really comfortable, Ezra's bed I guessed, I was pregnant with twins, and that Ezra was holding my hand. The scent of his cologne lingered around and I knew it was him. I had never smelled his cologne before in my life before I met him, so it was one thing I could count on to know if Ezra was with me if I were to be blind, or in this case, to have my eyes closed.

I didn't squeeze his hand. I could move, but I just chose not to. I felt perfectly comfortable in the position I was in now and I wasn't about to give that up. Knowing that Ezra was there was enough to keep me satisfied. I felt one of his large hands wrapped around mine, but then, the hand started to move. Confused, I furrowed my eyebrows together as I felt the hand leave. Where did he go? I wanted him back. Where was he? I heard a bunch of hushed voices that sounded pretty close to me, which confused me. If I was in Ezra's apartment, why would there be a lot of people in there? He could barely even accommodate me and my friends. Or, I was somewhere else.

After about a minute, he still wasn't back. I was starting to get angry and upset. Slowly, I began to open my eyes. I let out a loud groan. My bones ached. I blinked several times. I looked at my hand first, wrapped in somebody else's. I traced the arm to it's owner. Ezra. Ezra!

I was ecstatic to see him. I wanted to know what happened to me. His sparkling ice-blue eyes met my warm hazel ones. But he had a black eye. Now I wanted to know what happened to him. He was in the one of the old nasty hospital gowns, as was I. My mind was racing at a million miles a minute.

"Ezra, where am I? What happened?" I said, oblivious of the 3 nurses and my doctor in the room. "What happened to your eye? Are you okay? What time is it?" He scooted closer to me and wrapped a piece of hair around his finger and played with it for a few seconds. Then he grazed his soft hand down my face. He stood up and kissed my forehead.

"Hey, babe. Calm down. You passed out and hit your head on the sink in my apartment and passed out. They said you passed out because of dehydration and malnutrition from the morning sickness. But everything's gonna be okay. I promise."

I smiled. He was so sweet, sensitive, and caring. I felt like the luckiest girl in the world to have someone like him. But I wanted to know about what had happened to his eye. Now.

"Thanks for taking care of me Ez. But, I want to know what happened to your eye? I want to know the truth." I said, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Well, I was going back to my apartment really quick to shower and change my clothes, and I happened to run into Byron. I told him you were in the hospital, and when I got back he was waiting for me, and this happened," he said, making a gesture to his eye. "He knows Aria. He knows you're pregnant. "
