She folded the piece of paper and placed it in an envelope, after that she placed it neatly in a shoe box and hid it behind the bed. one of the things she loved was communicating with her baby. it made her happy. after she heard its heart beat for the first time. it changed her life and her attitude towards everything Aria felt she had to grow up , she would be a mother soon. it was scary being a first time mom and at such a young age she never though it would happen but it did.

one thing she thought would be a good idea was to write letters to her child. so that when her baby was older he or she would know just how much its mommy was trying to be better. this was just the first on many letters she wanted to write.

after making sure the shoe box was further behind the bed and no one would see it. she pushed the bed back and walked out of the bedroom. It was early in the morning and Natasha was still sleeping Aria did not want to disturb her. she went to the kitchen and made breakfast for the two of them. she ate hers and placed one for Natasha on the table, after that she left the house.

one of the things Devon left in the house for her was a black unlimited debit card on the bedside table which she never touched or moved , it was always where he left it. if she wanted something she always made sure to use her own money, today she wanted to go shopping .. for baby clothes and a lot more. she called Callie and Meredith to accompany her in doing so.

they went into an expensive shop that Meredith recommended it was located in the middle of the city with all sorts of baby clothes in it . the prices in the store made Aria want to vomit blood.

"what the heck ...$4000 for this thing .. this money is enough to buy a house!!" Callie had an expression of disapproval on her face.

"why is it so expensive .. with this price this thing should be made of gold.." Aria shook her head as she examined the tiny baby suit.

"its made by a famous designer of course it has to be expensive" Meredith defended the thing..

"designer my foot Meredith its not even good quality... come on Aria we should leave this hell of a place."

"hey Aria is carrying a billionaires baby .. Devon Presley ...to him this price tag is nothing but paper"

"shhhhh... shut up do you want people to see her and start taking pictures of her?" Callie covered Meredith's mouth with her hand and warned her to shut up they came here in disguise if anyone heard them then they wouldn't leave this place unnoticed.

"to hell with Devon and his money he is the billionaire not me ....and i would rather eat grass than buy something this expensive why spoil a child so much.." she said stepping away from the suit as if it was made of fire.

"its not even that cute!!!" Callie added.

"you guys are impossible what the hell do you want to buy then??" Meredith asked in frustration.

"the dollar market ????? seriously??" she placed her hands on her hips. they left the expensive stores in the city and went to the dollar market. Meredith was beyond frustrated she had never been to this place before and has never shopped for cheap things in her entire life.

"why did i get dressed up if you where going to bring me here??" she looked around and surveyed the place with her eyes. it was a large ware house building with lots and lots of things not only baby clothes but adult clothes too . the place had things not selling more than $50 and she found it odd how things could be this cheap.

"that's it am leaving .." she turned around to leave but the girls pulled her back.

"oh come on Mere puppy ." Callie teased which annoyed her even more.

"Don't call me that i am not a puppy" she puffed her cheeks.

"if you don't want us to call you that then don't leave !!" Aria said.

"you will love it here i promise ..."

"No!"

"please .... !!"

Meredith rolled her eyes "fine ill only stay for 5 minutes and if i don't like it .. i am leaving "

"okay okay... where should we start" they stood by the door looking for where to begin the place was big.

after shopping for some minutes Meredith seemed to be having a good time she had forgotten about her idea of leaving.

hours went by and they where still in the place .

"Aria when your child is born i am going to be its godmother" Meredith said.

"Why do you get to be the godmother .. ... if anyone should be the godmother it should be me!!"

"Callie even your little cute daughter thinks am the best aunty in the world .. i send her so many cute toys so i should be the godmother since i don't plan on ever having kids... ever!!! " Meredith said and walked away from them. Aria and Callie looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.

she could not decide which baby clothes to buy they where all so cute. she made sure to buy neutral gender clothes Aria ended up buying more than just baby clothes. she bought colourful artifacts , colourful decorations colourful pillows for the couch and for the beds, she even bought plants and greenery things..

Devon's penthouse reminded her of that painting she saw at the museum, it was perfect but it looked too dark and too... depressing.. she decided to brighten the place up. he did not live there anymore she figured he would not care.

they took a lunch break and went back to shopping. all her life savings ..were spent in one shopping spree. it did not matter to her she was happy with the things she got.

Gabriel was kind enough to hire a bigger car to help with the things she bought, she insisted on repaying him but the man refused.

After a long day of running around buying things, she said goodbye to her friends and went back to her ..now home. today was a good day and she had a good time. Aria forgot about Devon who she did not see in the last three days , she even forgot about all the things that were making her worry. she sat in the back of the car with her eyes closed as Gabriel drove her home. she was humming quietly her favourite song.

Gabriel could see her through the mirror, he could not help himself from looking at her. she seemed happy today and he liked seeing her like that. he tried so much to stop but he couldn't with each day he spent around her as her body guard and as her driver he was drawn her. he did not understand himself, all he wanted was to see her happy like that.

"how long are you going to keep avoiding me Aria ?? "

it was Jamie, she has not spoken to her and the guilt kept on multiplying,

"you are supposed to be my best friend but you are treating me like a stranger , ever since you got ...married now to that billionaire you have not said a word to me in weeks , i thought we where best friends, ..!!!"

"am sorry ... i truly am , i did not know where to even start things happened so fast i was caught up in everything .. and i did not tell you because i was ashamed things are not what they appear to be, i screwed up badly Jamie ... really bad.. !!"

Aria was on the phone on the bathroom floor. the main reason why she never talked to her best friend was because she always felt like she betrayed all the promises they made to one another and one cover up led to another until she felt like she could not tell her anything anymore . Jamie and Callie almost had the same personality like they where the same person and once she felt distant from Jamie , Callie and Meredith where there. but no one could replace her long time best friend. "Jamie.. don't hate me .... please ... here is what happened"

she explained everything about what happened in her life in details Aria did not leave anything out. she could not help the tears from falling as she talked she felt like she was relieving everything , it made her emotional

"am sorry that happened to you but you should have told me about it"

"i know.. am sorry.. i wont hide anything from you again..i pinky promise ...do you forgive me....?"

"yes.... fine...but i need to see you..ill be coming there to visit...okay and i haven't been completely honest with you too ...there are some things you should know... ill tell you everything when i come"

"yes please do ... and Jamie.. one more thing you should know..-.".

One week later.

he opened the door to the penthouse and what he saw made him frown hard, what did she do to this place . Devon saw colorful paintings hanging on the wall, his couch was covered in white and purple and pink pillows. there where all sorts of plants placed on every corner of the house. even on windows too. the entire place looked like a rain ball exploded in here. the amount of color in this place was making his eyes hurt. he entered the house looking at everything around him. it was chaos in his eyes. Devon did not see any sign of Natasha or Aria in the living room, he walked to the bedroom to see if she was in there but he did not expect what welcomed him.

standing in the middle of the bedroom . he heard something .. it made him stand still. coming from the bathroom was the voice of someone singing. Devon walked towards it and stood without opening it he listened to what she was singing. it was the most beautiful thing he has ever heard in his entire life he did not know Aria could sing.

he held the door nob but did not push it open all he did was listen.
