It's the new year so I thought I'd post something new and a few people have been asking about a Haleb Baby three in reviews so here it is.

It's set ten years after the epilogue in Haleb Baby 2 but you don't need to have read that to understand what happening although it might help.

Enjoy xxx

Chapter 1

"Connor, Ava, hurry up or I'll set off without you!" Caleb's voice echoed up the stairs of the two storey family home.

"Hurry up Ava, I need to brush my teeth." Fourteen-year-old Connor Rivers rolled his eyes as he watched his older sister nearly poke her eye out with her mascara.

"Go use Mom and Dads bathroom." She told him as she picked up a brush and ran it through her long, blonde curls.

"My toothbrush is in here." He shoved passed her to grab it from the pot on the windowsill. "And you need to hurry up, I want some breakfast before Dad sets off."

"Why are you in such a hurry to go down?" The sixteen-year-old frowned. "All Mom and Dad do is argue."

"I have soccer training before school," He replied, with a mouth full of toothpaste foam before he too frowned at the thought of their parents recently. "They don't argue that much."

Ava just raised her eyebrows unconvinced. "They're getting divorced." She murmured with an unhappy sigh.

"You don't know that." Connor mumbled back, spitting out the last of his toothpaste.

"I do." She replied. "They're always arguing until we come in the room and then their conversation stops and they put on fake smiles and think we don't notice."

"That doesn't mean they're getting divorced." Connor tried his best although he too was starting to believe that Ava was right. Their parents had always argued over stupid stuff but in the last few weeks it seemed that their arguments were becoming more regular and more serious.

"They are. I saw an email from an estate agents on Dads work pile last week, he's going to move out."

Connor frowned at his sisters words as they ran though his head and his gaze dropped to the floor. "Don't sound so happy about it."

"I'm not." She scowled at him. "Why would you think that?"

"Because you keep talking about how they're getting divorced," He replied. "You might be wrong."

Ava rolled her eyes at her younger, naive brother. "That's because I'm smarter than you and actually pay attention to what's happening around me."

"Whatever." His eyebrows remained furrowed as he left the bathroom and headed for the stairs.

"I'm right." Ava growled, following him as he headed through the open plan living room and reached the door to the kitchen that was almost completely shut. Then she reached out and placed a hand on her brothers shoulder, stopping him from opening it.

"We need to tell them, Hanna." They heard their fathers voice from the other side of the door. "They're gonna figure it out soon enough."

"I know," Hanna sighed. "But not this morning, I have an order I need to sign for at the shop and I can't be late."

"I told you." Ava whispered to Connor as he opened the door and stepped inside.

Hanna and Caleb both stopped talking as they spotted them at the door. "Morning," She smiled. "Did you sleep well?"

"Yep." Connor replied shortly before heading over to the toaster to make himself breakfast and Ava headed for the coffee on the kitchen counter.

"Are your ready to set off soon?" Caleb asked as he gathered together his laptop and files that were piled on the kitchen table.

"Yeah, I have soccer before school so I need to be there early." Connor replied.

"Have you packed your kit?" Hanna asked, stepping aside so he could grab the jam from behind her. "I washed it last night."

"I've got it." Connor rolled his eyes and stuffed the toast into his mouth.

"Do you have anything on today, Ave?" Hanna asked her daughter, leaning forward on the kitchen island.

Ava just shrugged and downed the rest of her coffee. "Nope."

Hanna nodded, wrapping her loose fitting cardigan around herself tighter as Caleb stood up straight and placed his plate on the sink. "I'm leaving now," He said, looking between Ava and Connor who grabbed their bags and followed him to the front door.

"Have a good day." Hanna called, pressing a kiss to her hand and waving goodbye before she turned to Caleb.

"We need to talk about this later." He mumbled as his eyes locked on to hers. She nodded and folded her arms over her chest before tearing her eyes away from his.

"See you later." She called watching them all leave before she grabbed her own car keys and headed to work.

"What's up with you two this morning?" Caleb asked as they sat in the morning traffic in the centre of town.

He looked to his side where Ava was sat with her earphones in, blaring out music and then over his shoulder to where Connor was sat on the back seat. They had been quiet for the car journey so far, which was unusual for them, and they both seemed to be distracted by their thoughts.

"Nothing." Connor replied with a sigh.

Unconvinced Caleb turned her Ava who was glancing out of the window. He tugged one of her earphones out and her head whipped around to see why her music had been interrupted. "Are you okay?"

"Fine." She replied bluntly before turning back to the window.

Caleb rolled his eyes at his moody teenage kids and started to drive forward as the traffic picked up pace.

He knew his kids and he knew when something was bothering them. He also knew that they weren't dumb, they were actually very smart- especially Ava, so he had a feeling they had picked up that something was going on with him and Hanna. He knew that it was unfair to keep them out of it but his wife disagreed, being too stressed out to noticed how it was effecting their kids.

He finally pulled up outside Rosewood high but before he could say goodbye the doors clicked open and Ava and Connor hopped out the car.

Watching from the window, he saw two blonde heads part in different directions; Ava heading straight for the stairs and into the school as Connor joined a group of boys that were stood on the yard, kicking a soccer ball around.

They were both so different that sometimes Caleb found it hard to believe they were related, never mind siblings. Ava was very intelligent, sarcastic and upfront but also creative and caring when she wanted to be, whereas Connor was mischievous and smiley and very sporty- he had no idea where that came from since most of their other personality traits came from him or Hanna and neither of them were sporty at all.

His kids were perfect in his eyes and as he sped off to work he made a mental note to tell his wife that they were starting to suss things out and it felt wrong to keep it from them any longer.

"Why isn't dad home yet?" Connor asked as he grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.

"He's working late." Hanna replied as she checked on the chicken that was cooking in the oven.

"Why is he working late?" Ava asked from where she was sat on the kitchen island with her phone in her hand. "He doesn't normally."

"I thought he told you?" Hanna furrowed her eyebrows. "He has to train up all the interns now so he's staying later to help them."

"Why does he have to train the interns?" Ava frowned, becoming suspicious . "He's always at work."

"Because we need the extra money." Hanna sighed. "Can you set the table for me?" She asked moving around to the fridge to grab some lettuce to make a salad. "You too Con," She called, spotting him trying to make an escape for the living room.

"Is dad going to be eating with us or will he do that with his interns." Ava all but spat.

"Enough with the attitude." Hanna frowned at her before nodding over to Connor who was laying the cutlery on the glass table. "Your brother needs help."

"I know." Ava remarked, rolling her eyes before she slumped down from the stool and went to help him.

Hanna sighed and ran a hand along her temple as she watched them start bickering over knives and forks and wondered why they both seemed to be in some sort of mood with her. She furrowed her eyebrows at the reason she had been so stressed out lately and wondered if they were starting to pick up that something was different.

The sound of the front door opening caught her attention and she watched Caleb walk through the house to reach them. "I thought you were working late?" She asked, as he dumped his jacket on the counter and moved around to see what was cooking for dinner.

"I got away sooner than I thought I would." He replied, stepping over to her and placing his hand on her back. "How are you feeling?"

"I'm fine." She shot him a smile before she went back to chopping the tomatoes for dinner.

"What are you two arguing about now?" Caleb rolled his eyes as he moved over to the table and watched Connor and Ava elbow each other.

They exchanged glances, Ava still with a firm frown etched to her face as Connor sighed, not being able to stand not knowing what was going on with the family anymore. "Ava thinks your getting divorced."

"What?!" Hanna and Caleb both exclaimed with wide eyes before Caleb realised what was going on and a small smile settled in his face.

Hanna however was not so quick to put it all together and darted around the kitchen island to stand next to Caleb. "Of course we're not." She told them adamantly. "Why would you think that?"

Connor just shrugged and turned to Ava, relieved her theory was wrong. "But you argue all the time and dad's working late and I saw the letter from the estate agents, I thought he was going to move out." She frowned, extremely confused.

"We're not getting divorced," Caleb said gently, with a smile. "I promise." He turned back to Hanna and gave her a knowing look. "It's actually the complete opposite."

"Your getting married.. again?" Connor raised his eyebrows.

"No," Hanna shook her head as she swallowed a lump in her throat and bit her lip, knowing she couldn't put this off for any longer. "We're having another baby."

"What?!" Now it was Ava and Connors turn to shriek as both their eyes immediately shot down to Hanna's stomach. "Your pregnant?"

"Yep," She breathed, pushing her kimono-styled cardigan back and running her hand along the small bump. "Five months."

"Wait," Ava interrupted, holding up her hands with an offended look on her face. "Your five months pregnant and your only just telling us now?!"

"We only found out a month ago." Caleb explained leaning back against the counter.

"How did you not know you were pregnant?" Ava asked her mother incredulously. "Did you not notice-?" She was cut off.

"I didn't get any other symptoms other than missing my period but I didn't think it was because I was pregnant." Hanna answered, rolling her eyes as Connor and Caleb faces scrunched up half way through.

"So that's why you've need arguing?" Connor still looked slightly confused.

"That's why." Caleb nodded. "Your mom didn't want to tell you yet," He glanced over to Hanna. "But I thought we should have."

"And as always mom wins the argument." Ava concluded, her mood improving, knowing that her parents weren't splitting up. Caleb frowned at her and she just shot him a small grin before turning back to Hanna. "But why didn't you want to tell us?"

"Because..." She trailed off, annoyed at Caleb for throwing her in the deep end. "I've only just processed it myself and It's been so long since we had a baby."

"Wait," Connor interrupted, his face scrunching up again. "Aren't you too old to have a baby now?"

"No, we're only thirty-four," Hanna defended, although the same thoughts had been running through her head since the pregnancy test turned positive. "It's not that old."

"My sperm works perfectly fine thank you." Caleb smirked, watching as both their faces turned sour and loving how easy it was to wind his kids up.

"I mean there's going to be a huge gap between me and the baby." Connor explained, looking back at Hanna's midsection. "Fourteen years."

"We know that," She replied with a sigh. "It's not like we planned the baby, it just happened." She shrugged. "We always used to talk about having a third child when we first moved back here from New York and you were both younger but I never got pregnant so we dropped the idea a few years ago."

"But you didn't stop having sex." Ava rolled her eyes, although she couldn't help the small smile on her lips. She had seriously believed they were getting divorced and now felt bad for being so grumpy with them recently.

"We didn't." Hanna agreed. "And now your getting a little brother or sister."

"Are we not enough?" Connor teased with a small smile on his face too.

"Of course you are." Hanna stepped forward and pulled them both into her side in a tight hug.

"But we're afraid you'll both be too busy with your successful jobs and families of your own in a few years that we'll have no one to look after us when we're old." Caleb said with wryly grin as Hanna moved over to him and wrapped her arm around his waist. "We need at least one kid to live at home and wipe our arses."

"Caleb!" Hanna slapped his arm as Connor and Ava laughed. "That is not why we're having another baby."

"I'm joking." He smiled down at her, his hand coming to rest on her small bump as he pressed a kiss to her lips. "We're having another because two kids doesn't show how much I love you as much as three does."

She grinned at her husbands words as she leant her head against his shoulder. "That didn't go too bad, did it?" She murmured, ever since they found out they were having another baby she had been panicking that Ava and Connor wouldn't want another sibling and she didn't want them or their family to be unhappy so had managed to stall telling them for the past few weeks.

"I told you it wouldn't." Caleb smiled as his hand tenderly rubbed her belly. "I don't know why you were so scared to tell them."

"Me neither." She shrugged and leant up to kiss him again but was interrupted by Ava's voice.

"Wait, why are you looking at estate agents then?" She asked, thinking back to earlier.

"Because we're thinking about buying a bigger house, that's why I'm working extra hours." Caleb answered, watching as the smiles on both their kids faces dropped.

"I don't want to move," Connor shook his head and looked between his parents.

"Neither do I," Ava added. "We've lived here nearly all our lives."

"We're still thinking about it." Hanna told them, noticing how upset they were becoming at the thought of moving. "But baby's take up a lot of room."

"You can just put it in the spare bedroom," Connor said. "Then we don't have to move."

"But then we won't have a spare room if guests stay." Hanna mused, her head back to leaning on Caleb's shoulder.

"They can sleep on the sofa?" Ava suggested. "Or just not stay at all?"

"Like I said, we're still thinking about it." Hanna rolled her eyes as the oven started beeping behind them.

"I've got it," Caleb murmured, unwrapping his arms from around her waist so he could check on the dinner.

Hanna moved over to take a seat at the table with a hand resting on her stomach. "You don't even look that pregnant." Connor shrugged, he didn't really know much about pregnancy.

"I've definitely popped," She looked down at her bump. "But it was quiet easy to hide from you two, I just wore cardigan's and loose tops."

"We're still annoyed you didn't tell us sooner." Connor looked at her.

"I know, I'm sorry." She sighed, ruffling his blonde quiff as she sat down. "But it was a huge shock- it still is, and so much is going to have to change that we needed to get everything sorted before we told you." She explained. "Plus we were scared you might not be happy about us having another baby."

"We?" Caleb quirked his eyebrow as he placed the chicken in the middle of the table.

"I." Hanna corrected herself, rolling her eyes. "Your dad was right about telling you all along." She shot him an apologetic grin as he sat down next to her.

"Well I think it's a good thing," Ava told them a smile on her face. "As long as it's a girl."

"No, it's a boy," Connor shook his head. "It'll be better if it's a boy."

"No, it will be better if it's a girl." Ava argued back as Caleb rolled his eyes, watching them enter another bickering fight.

Hanna caught his attention out of the corner of his eye as he noticed she was smiling at him. "I told you everything would be okay." He grinned at her, placing his hand on her upper thigh.

"And I should've listened to you," She smiled leaning over to press a kiss to his cheek as his hand moved to rest on her small bump. "I was stupid not to."

Now that everything was starting to come together and both their eldest children seemed to be so much more happier, she felt like she could relax and enjoy her expanding family again.
