So in this story, Aria and the girls are in their Senior year of High School. Aria was two months pregnant before she and Ezra made that deal to go in different directions. She is now in this story 8 and a half months. But what happens when Aria, doesn't like the outcome.

Okay, first off. This is my first story that I'm going to put A in. So please bare with me.

Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with Pretty Little Liars.

Aria Montgomery was now a senior in High School. She and her three best friends Spencer, Hanna and Emily are starting fresh. At least, that's what they think. Mona Vanderwall, their psycho stalker throughout their Junior year of high school, was locked away. They can now breathe a little easier. Little do they know that more trouble was brewing as they joined their fellow classmates for their last year of high school.

It's been six months since Aria last spoke to Ezra. They had made this deal that they would settle apart for the rest of her school year. With her parents, primarily her father, threatening to turn Ezra in to the police they agreed that distance was best. As much as she rationalized and understood that it was for the best that Ezra had left, not having Ezra still broke her heart.

She started working at the art gallery part time and the book store. She wanted to be able to somewhat pay for something she knew she couldn't control. Aria was now, eight and a half months pregnant. Ezra left just before Aria could tell him the news. Her father made a deal that Aria couldn't refuse. It meant life to her and her child that would soon be joining the world.

Aria's POV:

"Are you ready?" My father asked coming into my room. "You're going to be late."

I was still lying in bed, the covers thrown messily around me. I nodded knowing that if I didn't get up soon I was going to be late for my first day of senior year. I looked down at my full grown belly. "Can't I just stay home for the next few weeks?" I asked not really feeling the day. I tried to mentally prepare myself for the bullying I was sure to encounter at school. But now, standing at the morning of the first day of school, all the preparation vanished. I did not want to have to meet my classmates looking like a whale. "I'm just not into this right now."

He let out a sigh. "Aria, we agreed that in order to keep this child you have to finish out your senior year. Show some maturity, Aria, some responsibility. Show me that you are ready to be a Mom. As a responsible adult you do things even though you don't want to."

I angrily rolled my eyes at him. "Thanks Dad, for the vote of confidence. You know it would be a lot easier if you'd let me tell Ezra. We would be able to share the responsibility," I threw his words back in his face. "Why can't I just tell him? He has the right to know," I argued. "Why are you doing this to him?"

My father scoffed. "Look what he did to this family. He has torn us a part. He has gotten you pregnant. Ever since he stuck his nose into our family there have been nothing but arguments. Not to mention that we are the talk of the town and have been since the Masquerade ball. I can barely look people in the eye when I meet them on the street."

I sucked in a breath. "You are embarrassed to walk in the street? I'm the one that everyone stares at; I'm the one with a huge belly. You are being selfish and I can't wait to get out of here."

"You think he loves you? He left, where the hell is he now if he loves you so much? Why isn't he here?" My father yelled. We have been fighting like this throughout my whole pregnancy. "If he loved you he would have fought harder. He probably has a girlfriend by now."

My mother appeared in the doorway of my bedroom. "Byron, Aria, that's enough," she interjected wearily. "Aria, get up. We're going."

With a few words my mother could get me to do what my father couldn't with his many words. I glared my father down taking and letting go breaths of air. "I hate you!" I mumbled to myself as I heaved myself out of bed.

My mother and I made it to school. We had sat in silence through the whole ride, only looking at one another when we had to. She pulled into the parking lot and took her hands off the wheel.

"Just take it one day at a time," She looked over to me as tears gathered in my eyes. "I'm sure Ezra didn't find someone else," she comforted me reflecting back to my fight with my Dad.

"I wouldn't know; he hasn't returned any of my emails, and my text messages are coming back to me as invalid." I wiped away the few tears that had slipped out. "Maybe dad was right."

"Aria, I do not condone your relationship at this time. But I believe that Ezra does love you and when the time is right he will return, preferably once you are finished High School."

I opened the door. "We had an agreement that we would go our separate ways. I meant that I'd stay here and he'd go to New York. I thought it meant we'd still stay in touch. I never thought he would just fall off the face of the earth."

My mother clucked her tongue sympathetically and opened her door and exited the car. I slammed my door shut trying to ignore all the stares that I was getting from people. I froze; my hand still on the door handle and my breathing quickened. I was not going to survive this day. My mother looked up from her spot and saw me frozen; she came to my side and pushed me along gentle.

I walked down the familiar halls thinking this was going to be the longest school year ever, wondering how I was going to make it without Ezra. I opened my locker and placed all my books inside. This summer had been rough. My brother left to a Lacrosse camp and I stayed home alone working. It was lonely and tiring. Spencer, Hanna and Emily all been busy and barely saw them during the summer.

"Aria," I heard my name and turned a little to see Hanna running up to me. She stopped and her mouth dropped open. "What the hell?" She squealed. "When did that happen?"

"Nice to see you too." I rolled my eyes and gave her a side hug, "I'm due in a couple of weeks or so."

Her eyes bugged out. "Why didn't you tell me?" She bent down and touched my belly. "OMG! You're huge."

I know she didn't mean to insult me but tears sprung to my eyes. "Thanks Han, like I really needed you to tell me that I'm fat. You were in California; I didn't want to spoil your fun." I told her, closing my locker.

Hannah linked arms with me and we sat down on a bench in the shade away from all the glaring students. She grinned, "Sorry." She continued to stare until I whacked her arm, "Sorry. I-I always thought I would be the first one to get pregnant. Can you believe it, it's like-"

"Please don't tell me 16 and pregnant," I grumbled. "You of all people know how much I hate that show and I had to hear it from my father all summer."

"What did Ezra say?"

"In the imaginary conversations I have with him he's really happy," I tried to keep the bitterness to a minimum.

"What? He doesn't know?"

I tilted my head. "No, he doesn't know. I've tried to get a hold of him but it's like he's not even here."

"I'm sorry," Hanna squeezed my hand. "But we'll be here for you. So don't worry. Plus Mona is in the psyche ward so thankfully A is gone."

Just then our phones beeped. We looked at each other with a fearful eye.

Don't be so sure. Welcome back bitches; hope you had a wonderful summer. All but for you Aria, but don't worry, I know exactly where Ezra is. –A

Under the message was an attachment; it was a picture of Ezra and a woman underneath a tree drinking coffee. The tears that I had been holding back since the car ride to school spilled over.

"What the hell?" Hanna asked looking at her phone. "I thought this was over?"

I shook my head. "She's back. Didn't Mona tell Spencer something about an A Team?"

Hanna nodded. "It must be," she stood up. "I think we should go find Spencer and Emily."

I slowly hauled myself into a standing position. Hanna frowned and then held a hand out to stop me. "I think you should sit here while I'll go find them."

"I'm not an invalid," I bristled.

Hanna shrugged and we began walking when we heard whistling and then a shout.

"Hey! Montgomery!"

I paled as we came face to face with a group of dudes from the football team. They all had evil grins on their faces, ready for some juicy fun. Hanna pushed me back and faced the group of guys.

"What?" she said aggressively

"Oh, it's Barbie," one teased.

"Shut it!" she snapped. We had experienced being hounded by A. Compared to that a group of boys were nothing.

I had retreated back to the bench. Realizing that the fun was over they glared at Hanna and continued on their way. Hanna walked around the campus until she finally saw Emily and Spencer walking through the front doors. She beckoned them over and they followed her to the bench where I was sitting. Spencer smiled and waved at me while Emily dropped her jaw.

"You look so cute. I knew that shirt was going to fit you," She gushed.

"Wait, you knew?" Hanna asked and Emily nodded. "And you?" Spencer nodded. "Well thanks for leaving me out of the loop, guys."

"Well, I finished my Classes early. I came home two weeks ago and Emily came home last week. We ended up having a movie night. Aria spilled."

"Well, once we saw her, she didn't really have to spill anything; it's kind of obvious," Emily pointed out.

"It's not that big of deal; you were going to find out."

"Not that big of a deal? You're freaking pregnant! You guys should have called," Hanna grumbled.

"We have something to tell you two," I said trying to change the subject. "A is back," I whispered and watched as Spencer and Emily's faces froze as I showed them the text and the attachment.

"What the fu-" Emily started but didn't say it."I mean, I thought this was over."

"We all did," Hanna agreed, "But didn't Mona ask you to join the A Team?" She asked Spencer.

"Yeah, but-" Spencer stopped when the bell rang. "Look, we need to meet up. Say after school my house?"

"I can't. I have another doctor's appointment. What about lunch?" I asked them.

"I have swim practice," Emily said "How about tonight? We can all meet for dinner?"

We agreed on dinner and then went our separate ways.

Ezra's POV:

I let out another breath as I re-read another one of Aria's emails. Most of them consisted of her telling me about the struggles she was going through. Some was telling me that she wished I would return one of her emails. I wished everyday that I could but that would only mean that I was looking into the past instead of letting Aria live her life. That's what we agreed on.

"You better go," Aria pushed me away. "My father means business this time." She cried and I held her tighter. "Please."

"Aria, this is stupid," I countered, "We will convince him and your mother." I moved away and looked her in the eyes, "Please, just give it a chance."

"Ezra, there are things that you don't know about. Mona, she was just the beginning of things. We don't know what's going to happen next." She exhaled in frustration. "I love you, so much. But if anything was to ever happen I don't know what I would do. Please, I don't want to see you hurt. I think it's best if you just leave."

"So that's it then? I leave and never look back," I whispered. "I can't do that."

"But you have to; it doesn't matter how many times a day I will plead for you. I want you to stay away from here, just leave. You said it yourself; you can't find a job here. What are you supposed to do?"

I rubbed my face. "I will always love you. But I will come back for you. I promise."

Aria smiled, "One more year, that's it and then we can be together." She kissed my lips, "I love you, so much."

"Ezra, Lets go."

I closed my eyes and shook my head and the sound of her voice.

"LET'S GO. Rosewood awaits."

I stood up and grabbed my jacket. "Gina, do you have to yell?"

She laughed. "Well, you were in a daze. I had to do something to get you out of it."

Gina and I were together for three months now. When I first came to New York I stayed with my brother until I could get a place of my own. At first I was really down; I had no interest in doing anything. I wasn't very enthusiastic in finding a new job because my heart was with Aria. Being the caring brother that he is he set me up on a date. I hadn't wanted to go but after a while of being really miserable I finally agreed. To my surprised we kind of clicked. Gina has a heart of gold and helped pull me out of the slump I was in. I was completely honest with her I told her the truth right that I fell in love with a 16 year old. She seemed okay with it

Over the course of six months I have been applying for a job left and right with no success. Finally, ironically, I landed one back in Rosewood. They knew about my situation; that's all what Rosewood has been talking about for months. They told me they will look past it. Partly because they are in desperate need of teachers and partly they said that I was a great educator. They warned me, however, that if they ever heard another rumor of me with a student they would fire me immediately. I assured them that it would never happen. I am now working as a 6 grade teacher at Rosewood Elementary School.

I was supposed to leave a few days ago, but Gina wasn't able to get some time off. She wanted to see where I was staying and how the town looked. She will be moving with me in a few weeks, so the school agreed to let this slide and I start in a couple of days. I was only missing a few meetings and preparation days. I'd still be there for the first actual day of teaching.

We hopped into the car and I pulled out of my brother's driveway. Gina started to play soft music in the background and I gave her a look.

"What?" she asked.

"Do you want me to fall asleep at the wheel?"

She laughed and changed the station. "No, I'd like to get to Rosewood in one piece, please.

The car ride was pleasant. We didn't talk much and Gina dozed off for a bit.

"What are you going to do if you run into her?" Gina asked me when we were an hour away.

I shrugged and let a breath out. "I really don't know," I answered truthfully. "You know how I feel."

"I know, but you feel something for me too, right?"

I took another deep breath and nodded. This is where things got sticky. I know Gina has feelings for me but I'm not sure how I feel about her. Gina helped pick up the pieces and get my life together again. She's a really great friend, I just don't know if I feel more than that for her. But I wonder: can I make it work?

"Would you leave me for her?" she sounded worried.

"Please, don't ask me that. We can't predict what will happen," I begged, glancing at her before looking back on the road. "Life isn't always black and white. We don't know what tomorrow will bring." I evaded giving a straight answer.

We drove the rest of the way in silence. The music in the background was the only sound that filled the car. I wasn't sure what I would do if I ran into Aria. I didn't want to think about it even though I should. it is highly likely that I will bump into her; Rosewood isn't very big. I wasn't even sure if this job would even last. Rosewood loves gossip and as far as I know our relationship is still the talk of town. I could only hope that I'd be really busy with my new job and that Aria would be really busy with school so that we'd never see each other and that the town would stop talking about us.
