New beginnings

New Life

Aria's Pov

Today was the day to meet my daughter, my baby who was taken away from me! I can't believe I missed 10 almost 11 years of my daughter's life, and I have one person to blame! Ezra's mother who took my baby away from me.

"Hey beautiful are you ready?" Ezra said interrupting my thoughts

"Is that even a question, I'm so excited Ezra, I can't believe I will be able to hold and hug her and tell her how much I missed her and love her" I said trying to holding back my tears but I failed

"I know love I know. We will in a couple of hours" Ezra said putting his arms around me

I got pregnant at 17, my parents did not support me at first but they agreed to support me after all, Ezra was ready to put everything aside to be with me and our baby but little did we know that his mother knew about it and kidnapped our daughter! I got to look at her but I didn't even held her in my arms! We were looking for her for so long, but didn't got any luck with it. Two days ago our helper in the foster system told us he found her in a foster house in New York and I have never been happier

"Come on we need to go" Ezra said as he went down stairs and I followed behind even though they told us to come at 11 we couldn't wait any longer and we decided on going at 7 just in case anything happened

"Ok here we go, we're going to get our daughter back home" Ezra said turning the car on and driving through New York streets, I couldn't think of anything but how she would look like my beautiful baby girl

"Here we are, we are early" Ezra said nervously

"Our baby is just a couple of feets away from us, I just want to hold her in my arms" I said frowning

"I know you want to but we need to respect if she won't open up to us right away" Ezra said as his voice softens

"I know but I hope she would though" I said looking at his blue eyes. We made our way inside to find a middle age woman at the front desk

"Hey how can I help you?" She said smiling to us

"Hi we're here to meet Anna" Ezra said

"Oh hey, you must be the Fitzs. You can go to the end of the hall and you'll find her in the last office

"Alright thank you" I said as we made our way to the office

"Wow it's so big but I can't but feel sad that these kids consider a place like this their home" I said with sadness in my voice that my daughter had to go through this and it wasn't our fault neither her's. We reached Anna's office and Ezra knocked on the door and a blond woman probably in her 40 opened the door and a smile forms on her face when she saw us

"Hello there you must be Aria and Ezra" she said smiling to us

"Yes, how did you know" Ezra asked confused

"Your daughter looks just like you Mrs Aria" She said looking at Aria amazed

"Sh she does? When can we see her?" I said trying to hold back tears from dropping

"I know we said 11 but we can go upstairs now, but you need to fill some papers up first so you can spend time with her" Anna said still smiling, she seems like a nice lady

"I need you to know that your daughter went through a lot of rejection and some bad experiences, so she might not open up right away, you need to give her time because that is absolutely normal" She said seriously and I couldn't feel but sad that my daughter had to go through this while we were trying to find her so desperately

"Understandable, when can we take her home and does she know that we are her parents?" Ezra asked the woman in front of us

"You can take her home today, and no she doesn't know because I wanted you to tell her yourselves for a better result" she said standing up "now we can go to see her if you'd like" she said opening the door and we just nodded and followed the woman to the second floor where all the kids were and it broke my heart how there are a lot of abandoned kids that needed home and love

"Here we are, this is her room. Are you ready?" She asked us

"Yes" we both said at the same time

Anna knocked the door and a little girl with light brown hair and big hazel eyes opened the door and she was short for her age

"Hey Malia, this is Aria and Ezra" Anna said smiling pointing at us

"Hey, are they my new foster parents?" She asked with a straight face but oh god she is so beautiful

"Yes now let me leave you guys together to figure things out" Anna said before leaving the room and closing the door behind her. All three of us were standing in the middle of the small room not knowing what to do, if it was for me I would immediately envelope my baby girl in a hug

"Um are we just going to spend the whole meeting in silence" She said with a chuckle

"Oh uh no, hey I'm Ezra" Ezra said sticking his hands out to her

"I'm Malia, nice to meet you" she said shaking Ezra's hands

"What a beautiful name you have" Ezra said as he bends down to her size

"Thank you, my biological mom gave me that name" She said proud and I couldn't help my tears from falling

"Are you ok? Did I say something wrong" She said with a puzzled look on her face as she walked close to me

"No you didn't sweetie, it's just a beautiful name" I said as I bend down to her "My name is Aria, can I give you a hug instead of a hand shake" I said hoping she would let me

"Sure" She said warping her little arms around me and I couldn't be more happier, I've waited 10 years to hold my baby and I got to now. The hug was so long that I forgot about everything around me

"So Malia, what do you like to do in your free time" Ezra asked the minute we pulled away from each other

"Um I like to paint, write and read" she said after thinking about it for a minute

"Wow thats amazing, you know Aria does all three things as well and she is phenomenal at them" Ezra said putting his hands over mine to reassure me that everything is going to be fine

"You really do too? Thats amazing" She said looking at me with wide eyes

"Yes honey I do, would you show us some of the things you have painted?" I asked her curiously

"Umm I will but they're not that good" she said walking to her desk and grabbing a painting that was placed on it and brought it back to us

"Are you kidding thats amazing! You are so talented honey" I said shocked of how talented she was, it was a painting of a castle in the middle of the woods

"Really you liked it?" She asked curiously with her eyes wide open

"Yes I loved it" I said smiling to her

After about 20 minutes of talking I glanced at Ezra and knew it was time to tell her

"So sweetie, would you like to come with us? Live with us?" Ezra asked nervously

"Uh do you want me to live with you?" She asked as her eyes lightened up

"Yes honey we would love if you come with us, off course if you want to" I said smiling to my beautiful 10 year old in front of me

"Yeah I want to, it's not like I have something keeping me here" she said with a shrug

"Ok then lets go home" Ezra said standing up and we did the same

I helped Malia packing her things and then we made our way to Anna's office, did some paper work and then left to our home back in Rosewood
