5 and 1/2 years later
Ezra's POV
"Mommy Daddy wake up!" Riley says as she jumps up and down on our bed.
"Happy sixth birthday princess." I say as I pull her in for a hug.
"Thanks Dad!" The little girl says with a smile.
"I can't believe it's already been six years." Aria mutters to herself.
"What time does my party start?" Riley asks excitedly.
"Your guests will arrive at noon." Aria says before she kisses Riley's forehead.
"Can I wake Matt up?" Riley asks us.
"Go ahead." I say as Riley sprints out of the room.
Matthew is our three year-old son. Riley adores the little-boy, and he always wants to do everything she does.
"She isn't a baby anymore." Aria tells me sadly.
"I know." I say with a sigh.
"In a couple of years boys will be chasing after her, then she will go to college and get married." Aria says.
I flinch at the thought of boys chasing after my daughter.
"Can I teach her how to ride a bike first?" I ask with a chuckle.
Aria laughs and wraps her arms around me.
"I'm so happy that I have you." Aria says as she rests her head on my chest.
I think back to the year that Riley was born. Aria wasn't part of my life, and I didn't even know I had a daughter! The day I met Riley was the happiest and most surprising day of my life.
"What are you thinking about?" Aria asks me.
"The day I met Riley." Ezra says with a smile.
"I'm glad your mother can't do anything to our family." Aria tells me.
"I know." I respond.
My mom went to jail for murdering Jason and stalking Aria, she will stay there for the rest of her life.
I proposed to Aria after my mother's trial, and we are happily married.
"I love you." I say as I stroke Aria's hair.
"I love you too." She says before kissing me passionately.
"Ewwwww!" Matt says as he enters the room with Riley.
"Good morning baby." Aria says with a chuckle.
"Did you wish your sister a happy birthday?" I ask my son.
"Yeah, she better share all of her new toys!" Matt says causing Aria and I to laugh.
"I will." Riley says sweetly.
"You can share the clothes that Aunt Hanna gives you." I tell Riley.
"I don't want girl clothes!" Matt says appalled.
"He isn't touching my clothes!" Riley says sternly.
I laugh at my daughter's reaction, she is such a girly girl.
"Speaking of clothes, what do you want to wear to your party?" Aria asks Riley.
"Can I wear my purple dress?" Riley asks.
"Whatever you want." Aria says with a smile.
"Can you take me to get my nails done?" Riley asks Aria hopefully.
"Sure!" Aria says excitedly.
"When did you start getting your nails done?" I ask confused.
"Last time Mommy and Hanna took me shopping." Riley tells me.
"My baby girl is all grown up!" I say sadly.
"I'm still your baby girl Daddy." Riley says as she jumps into my arms.
"Do you like boys?" I ask her nervously.
"Ewwww, boys are icky." Riley says as she wrinkles her nose.
"Thank God!" I say relieved.
Aria's POV
Riley holds my hand tightly as we walk into the nail salon.
"What color do you want honey?" I ask my daughter.
"Pink please." Riley tells me.
"That will look nice on you." I say with a smile.
"What can I help you with?" The woman working at the front desk asks us.
"My daughter and I are both getting manicures." I tell the woman.
"Any special occasion?" She asks curiously.
"It's her sixth birthday." I say as Riley hides behind me shyly.
"What's your name?" The woman asks Riley.
"Riley Rose Fitzgerald." She says softly.
"That's a beautiful name for a beautiful girl." The woman says.
"Thank you." Riley tells the woman.
I stare at my daughter proudly, she does look beautiful. Her dark hair is naturally curly and her purple dress looks amazing. My favorite of Riley's features is her sparkling blue eyes that resemble her father's.
"What colors are you getting?" The woman asks me.
"She wants pink, and I'll get a French manicure." I tell her.
The woman nods and leads us to our seats. She leaves us alone when she goes to the back to get the nail supplies.
"So do you really think boys are icky?" I ask Riley curiously.
"No, I just said that to make Daddy feel better." Riley says with a giggle.
"Do you like any boys in first grade?" I ask amused.
"No, first grade boys are so immature. My boyfriend is in second grade." Riley tells me.
"You have a boyfriend?" I ask in shock.
Riley nods her head.
"You're way to young to have a boyfriend!" I tell her.
"I'm six remember?" She says stubbornly.
"You don't kiss do you?" I ask nervously.
"That's gross!" She says appalled.
"What do you do?" I ask her.
"We chase each other at recess." She explains.
"That's not really dating." I say with a chuckle.
"What do you do when you're really dating?" Riley asks confused.
"I was kidding, chasing each other at recess is what dating is all about." I lie.
"That's what I though!" Riley says as she picks up a magazine.
Line Break
When we arrive back at the house Spencer and Toby are sitting in our living room.
"There is my favorite birthday girl!" Spencer says when she sees Riley.
Riley hugs her Godfather and Godmother happily.
"I just finished decorating the house." Ezra says as he enters the living room with Matt.
"Thanks babe." I say as I give him a quick kiss.
"How is the pregnancy going?" Ezra asks.
"It's going well." Spencer replies.
"I was actually asking Toby." Ezra says with a chuckle.
"Spencer isn't being to emotional." Toby says as glances at his seven months pregnant wife.
"You're lucky, Aria was crazy when she was carrying Matt." Ezra teases.
"Hey!" I say angrily.
"I was kidding." Ezra says as he kisses my cheek.
"Auntie Spencer, you look ginormous!" Matt says as his eyes grow wide with shock.
"Matt!" Ezra and I gasp at the same time.
"Thanks Matt." Spencer says sarcastically.
"Don't listen to him, my brother has no class." Riley says as she rolls her eyes.
"What's class?" Matt asks confused.
"Something you'll never have." Riley says with a smirk.
Right at that moment Emily, Paige, Hanna, and Caleb enter the living room. They take turns wishing Riley happy birthday. Ezra pulls me aside and leads me to our bedroom.
"What's up?" I ask him curiously.
"I just wanted to tell you how much I love you." Ezra says as he kisses me passionately.
"I love you too, but I should get back there. Riley's friends will arrive in half an hour!" I say panicked.
"Wait!" Ezra says as I'm about to walk away.
"What?" I ask confused.
"Let's have another baby!" He says as his blue eyes twinkle.
"I never thought about it before." I confess.
"So is that a no?" He asks disappointed.
"It's not a no, I want to be a mother again." I say as I wrap my arms around Ezra.
"Really?" He asks excitedly.
"Really, as long as you can handle me when I'm pregnant." I say with an eye roll.
"Of course I can!" He says with a chuckle.
"Let's enjoy the party, our little girl only turn six once." I remind him.
"I can't believe that this is the end of her "baby" years." Ezra says with a grin.
"The end of one thing is the start of something even more beautiful." I say as I kiss the love of my life passionately.
