Hanging On a Moment Part II
Authors Note: Hello Pretty Little readers! I just had a little real life inspiration that made me think of my first edition of this story and how I could continue it a little longer with some new story lines. Hanging on a Moment is the first addition to this story and this addition picks up a year after where the first left off in the end (five year time hop). I also have another story I am working on at the moment as well titled, Too Little Too Late. All are centered around Hanna Marin and Caleb River's characters because be honest, who is a hotter couple than Haleb?! All my stories feature the other PLL characters as well and incorporate some newbies I made up as well. Reciprocation is very much appreciated. Also, I am fully aware I do not own any of the PLL Characters or content derived from the television or book series. Enjoy. –BroStow

The morning light was streaming through the delicate draperies into the master bedroom of the River's home. It was just a little past seven in the morning that Sunday and unusually, the River's girls were still sound asleep in their rooms. Caleb woke up out of habit glancing at the clock on the bedside table in awe that it was daylight and all of his children were still asleep. Wanting to take advantage of only having his peaceful wife in his bed, he crept over to her side and put his strong arms around her.
"Uhhhhh." She groaned softly, reaching around swatting her husbands arm off.
Caleb's mouth perked up into a smile. He always liked a challenge. He then kissed her on the top of her head.
"Babe, I swear to God. I haven't gotten to sleep in since…." She trailed off turning around facing her doting husband. She peeked at him with one eye shut for dramatic effect. "I never get to sleeeeep." She whispered as he kissed her neck.
"We never get to do this anymore either." He breathed heavily while roaming her body under the crisp linen sheets.
Suddenly she sat up pushing Caleb off of her.
"Hi baby."
"Mama, Piper is crying in her crib!" Paisley announced walking over to Hanna's side of the bed.
"Ok! I will go and get her. Hey Parker, can you please take your sister downstairs? You can turn on cartoons and then Daddy will make you some breakfast." Hanna smiled as her daughters trotted off down the stairs.
"I'm going to need a minute." Caleb replied as Hanna stood up to get their almost two year old daughter from her room.
"Sorry babe, you were so close." She grinned as she slipped on her robe and headed to their daughters room.
"Hey baby girl." Hanna coos as she flips on the light in he youngest child's room. "Are you scared because you always sleep in bed with Mommy and Daddy?"
"That will be ending as of now." Caleb stated walking in with Piper's stuffed bunny she had left in their room.
"Come on Honey, she's our last one." Hanna replied in a baby voice picking up her blonde curly haired baby.
"Noooo." Caleb smiled in a sing song voices as his daughters chubby hands reached out for her favorite toy.
"I guess mean ole' Daddy is right." Hanna laughed placing her on the changer.
After being married a few years and life settling down a little, the couple decided to try for their third and final child. In the spring, they were blessed with their third daughter they named Piper Quinn Rivers. The following year Paisley started Kindergarten and Parker was now in the second grade. Work was steady for Caleb and Toby's company but things got a lot more stressful when Leo decided to take early retirement leaving Hanna the sole owner of the design firm. Between soccer, playdates, school pick up and drop offs, homework, demanding careers and a colicky baby, Hanna and Caleb's marriage was being put to the ultimate test. Thankfully, both Hanna and Caleb's parents were very helpful, along with pseudo auntie and uncles.
"Waaaaaaaahhhhh." Piper wailed as Hanna flipped through the channels for a suitable show for the older two to watch.
"Girls want waffles?" Caleb yelled over the crying.
"Ugh." Parker moaned as she covered her ears with her hands. "Can I please just go to Grandma Ashley and Grandpa Ted's house?"
"Yeah! Me too!" Paisley chimed in.
"No."
"Why not mama?" Paisley whined giving her mom the pouty lip.
"Because then we would have to explain why we were not in Church this morning." Hanna frowned getting Piper's sippy cup out of the fridge. "Use your words Pipes."
"Pwease." The curly haired girl sighed grabbing the cup from her mom.
"I wanna go to Church!" Parker frowned picking up Hanna's cell phone.
"What do you think you are doing missy?" Hanna questioned as she grabbed the phone from her oldest.
"Can I call Grandma? Please?"
"Me too! Me Too!" Paisley's eyes lit up as she copied her older sister.
"Fine. I will call Grandma though." Hanna stated as her two daughters jumped up and down. She knew they could probably use a day away from the chaos and Ashley and Ted always spoiled them.
"Hi Mom." Hannah started as she cradled the phone between her shoulder and head trying to console her crabby third child again.
"Park and Paisers are begging to go to Grandpa's Church this morning." She yawned rubbing the baby's back.
"That's fine Honey. I will come pick them up in like ten minutes." Ashley replied hearing the baby crying again in the background. "Do you want me to take Piper too?"
"Um, the girls requested that it be only them." Hanna laughed as her youngest child finally settled down.
"That's fine. Ted and I will take them for the rest of the afternoon too, how does that sound?"
"Lovely." Hanna smiled as she smoothed a loose curl from Pipers head.
"Alright see you soon." Ashley added before hanging up.
Hanna muffled her way back down the stairs to see both of her daughters intently watching her with big eyes. Hanna held up her finger in front of her mouth.
"Grandma will be here in ten minutes. Hurry upstairs, pick out a dress and brush your teeth." She whispered as both girls smiled to each other and ran up the stairs.
Hanna walked into the kitchen with Piper asleep again in her arms.
"Hey my mom just offered to take the kids too. The boys are on a scout trip with their dad." He smiled as he placed a stack of waffles on the plate.
"Does she want to take her?" Hanna smirked.
"She will be here in a half an hour." Caleb smiled pouring more batter onto the waffle maker.
The girls came running back downstairs in their interpretation of "Sunday's best."
"Sit down and have a waffle." Caleb gestured to the barstools with a plate of breakfast for each of the girls.
"Thanks Daddy." Parker smiled with gaps from her missing teeth.
"You're welcome baby." He smiled kissing his girls on their foreheads. He couldn't believe how fast time was moving and how grown up his little girls were becoming while also feeling a little sting of resentment of how stressful life was now with the five of them. Sunday's used to be one of the days he looked forward to the most. The girls would wake up and watch some cartoons in their room and Hanna and he would get to sleep in a little longer. He'd wake up and make the girls a special breakfast and the family would all go to Church to listen to Grandpa Ted's sermon. Afterwards, they would go to lunch and spend the rest of the day lounging.
"Bye, be good for Grandma!" Hanna yelled out the door as she watched her daughters brown hair bounce down the drive way as they ran to Grandma Ashley's SUV.
Shortly after, Claudia pulled up taking Piper home with her.
"What are we going to do with ourselves? A couple hours kid free?" Caleb asked playfully sneaking up behind Hanna who was looking at the mail on the kitchen island.
"I was thinking a nap." She replied with a little smirk turning around.
Caleb pulled her in for a kiss setting her up on the island.
"No babe. The kids eat their breakfast here."
"You didn't mind when we first moved in." he replied opening her robe exposing her chest in front of the open windows.
"Let's just go upstairs."
"Fine." He moaned sliding her ass across the cold marble of the island carrying her the looming staircase and throwing her on to the unmade king size mattress. He didn't waste anytime either, slinging off her robe. Letting her slip off her undies while he let his boxers fall to the floor, kicking them off with his feet.
"Jesus Caleb." Hanna moaned as he slid her to the end of the bed taking her all in his mouth. It only took a few moments and Hanna began squirming under his hot tongue. They were now both aroused enough that he needed to take control. He flipped his delicate wife over on to her knees teasing her a little more before entering her from behind.
"Oh my Goooood." She moaned as he switched up the pace he was going.
"Fuck." She yelled as she climaxed grabbing the sheet the was balled up in front of her. As she contracted coming down from her high, Caleb also released shaking the entire California king size bed on the frame.
They both fell in to the bed relieved and exhausted as the same time holding each other a few moments before Hanna disappeared to the bathroom.
"Fuck!" she shouted again but definitely not in a good way.
Caleb sat up waiting as she re-emerged from the bathroom.
"What's wrong? Let's take a nap." He patted the bed with a smirk on his face.
"My fucking IUD fell out." She snapped holding up a little foreign object.
"Ugh." Caleb groaned annoyed. "Can't the Vag doctor just put it back in again?"
"Well, if you would have just gotten the fucking vasectomy like I asked you to do, we wouldn't be having this freaking problem." Hanna barked throwing the little device on the dresser looking up information on her phone.
"They said it was a simple out patient procedure and you would only have to miss a few days of work."
"Fuck Hanna, I won't be a man anymore!" Caleb growled throwing back the sheets.
"They don't cut off your balls Caleb! I don't understand?! You said you were done having kids. I can not have another! I am stressed the fuck out!" she cried throwing down her phone.
"What does it says?"
"I should be fine. Just to come in and get another appointment to get another freaking thing shoved up there. You don't have to go through anything, yet again you selfish ass baby." She rolled her eyes as she started getting dressed.
"Where are you going Hanna?" Caleb asked as she grabbed her purse.
"Fuck off."
Ending Authors Note: Ok, I know that was pretty intense but marriage is hard work esp. when you have kids.
