The Unbreakable
Chapter One:
Spencer, Hanna and Emily arrived at The Fitz household in Minneapolis. All the girls had moved to Minnesota a few years ago to start new with their husbands and children.
They had made plans that day to go shopping for Hanna's unborn baby. Hanna was now pregnant with her and Caleb's second child, and their first son. Hanna and Caleb were extremely excited to bring a baby boy to keep their five year old daughter, Bryn company. As for Spencer, she was still trying to have a child with Toby. Spencer and Toby had some fertility issues but were looking into surrogacy as a way to start a family. Aria had one child, a girl with her husband, Ezra. Her name was Sophie and she was six years old. Emily had just given birth to her first daughter, Penelope.
Hanna parked her white Range Rover in the driveway of the two story home. She had picked up Emily and Spencer on her way over. Aria currently had the week off from her teaching position at the university.
"We're here," Hanna gently shook Emily as she sat in the passengers seat beside her.
"Oh, sorry," Emily rubbed her eyes and stretched. "I'm fine, just a little tired."
Spencer got out of the back seat of the rover and looked at Emily. "You know, you didn't have to come, Emily. You just gave birth a few weeks ago. You need your rest."
Emily looked at Spencer. "No, I wanted to come. I want to have fun with you guys."
Hanna closed her door and joined her friends on the walkway of the house. "Fun? We're just shopping for baby clothes, you could've stayed home, Em. You need your rest."
"I'm fine." Emily said as they walked to the front door and knocked.
Ezra opened the door and greeted his wife's friends with a hug. "Aria's upstairs in her bedroom in bed. She's sleeping, I think."
"I'm going to go get her," Hanna said taking her Michael Kors handbag off her shoulder and placing it on the banister of the staircase.
Ezra, Spencer and Emily went into the kitchen to have a cup of coffee as a very pregnant, Hanna wobbled her way up the staircase to get her best friend.
Hanna made it up the staircase and wobbled down the hall towards the double doors of the master bedroom. She opened the door and found the still small brunette beauty laying under the covers.
Hanna walked over to the bed and poked Aria. "Ari, wake up," She moved a little but didn't wake up. Hanna poked her again. "Aria, wake up."
Still, Aria wasn't moving. Hanna became frustrated and pulled the blanket off of her. By now, Aria opened her eyes and gave a small yawn. She smiled at the sight of Hanna. "Hey, Han,"
Hanna smiled. "Hey, did I interrupt your sleep?"
"No, not at all." Aria got up and carefully hugged her pregnant friend.
"So, we're still going shopping right?" Hanna asked pulling away.
"Of course, are the girls downstairs?" She asked as she opened her closet.
"They are." Hanna smiled.
"Well, I'm just going to get dressed. Wait downstairs," Aria pointed to the door.
Hanna looked at her. "I've seen you change plenty of times but I'm craving a pickle. So I'll wait downstairs."
"Oh, we have pickles in the fridge! I bought them especially for you, Hanna." Aria laughed as she stripped out of her pajamas.
Hanna made her way downstairs to the kitchen.
Aria was finally finished getting dressed and she looked at herself in the mirror. She was wearing blue jeans, a white shirt with a beige cardigan, and a pair of beige suede pumps. She grabbed her black purse from the closet shelf and made her way downstairs.
"Aria!" Spencer smiled as Aria entered the white kitchen.
"Hey," Aria hugged Spencer tightly.
"Ari," Emily smiled.
"Em," Aria hugged her.
Ezra was placing some dishes in the dishwasher as Aria greeted her friends.
"So, honey," Ezra began.
Aria looked up. "Yes?"
"I'm going to a conference in New York next week. The dean just called and I guess Troy just backed out so he put me in."
"That's what he said!" Hanna laughed. Hanna was always the funny and immature one.
"Hanna!" Aria said. She looked back at her husband. "That's great. How long is the conference?"
"Tuesday until Friday." Ezra explained.
"Oh, Sophie's ballet recital is on Friday at five. Will you be able to get home by then?" Aria asked.
"I'll be back in the afternoon so yeah." Ezra nodded.
"Well, I better get going now." Aria said pecking her husband on the lips.
Spencer, Hanna, Aria and Emily got into the white Range Rover and drove to Mall Of America. That was one perk they had of living in Minneapolis.
They came out of Destination Maternity where Hanna bought a few dresses and coats. Emily took the bags they had from Destination Maternity and their bags from Baby GAP to the car in the parking garage. The paparazzi spotted Hanna and she was immediately flustered by cameras and questions.
On que the mall security shooed them away. Hanna was relieved and followed her friends into Carter's Baby.
The women spent about an hour in Carter's. Hanna spent eleven hundred. Spencer decided it was time to do a little girl time. Suggesting a pedicure.
"Wait, can pregnant women get pedicures?" Aria asked concerned. She was always super worried about Hanna.
"Yes, she's allowed. Remember we got pedicures while I was pregnant and Penelope came out fine. Plus," Emily held up her phone. "I googled it. The Baby Centre says it's okay. So come on."
They all walked into Progressions Salon.
"Four pedicures," Hanna told the front.
Four women lead them to the back and they sat on the leather recliners. They filled them up with hot water and the girls put their feet in.
"Ugh, this feels so good." Hanna said as she closed her eyes.
"No kidding. I haven't gotten a pedicure in ages!" Aria said relaxed.
"Ari, don't you remember...I just took you last month to get one. But you were worried so I didn't get one." Hanna said laughing.
"Spence, pass me my phone please." Emily told Spencer. Spencer picked up Emily's purse and took the white iPhone out. She handed it to Emily.
"I'm just gonna check on Nellie." Emily said as she dialed her home phone.
"Hello? Cruz Residence." Emily's husband Micah answered.
"Hey, how's Penelope?"
"Oh, hey hon. She's fine. I just put her for a nap. How long are you gonna be now?"
"Not too long. We're just getting pedicures and then probably gonna go eat."
"Sounds good. I guess I'll see you when you get home?"
"Yeah. Bye."
Emily hung up her cellphone. She met Micah three years ago while she was working at the government building. She was a financial analysis at the third level. She quit her job after she found out she was pregnant. Her husband made a lot of money as his father owned a business and was soon going to pass on the business to Micah.
"What did he say?" Spencer asked. Spencer had never really liked Micah. All the girls knew it.
"Nothing, Spencer. He didn't call to tell me he had an affair," Emily laughed. Hanna and Aria laughed with her. Spencer didn't like him because he was already divorced and she was scared that would be Emily one day.
"I just have a bad feeling about this one." Spencer said.
"Okay," Emily smiled. She placed her hand on Spencer's hand. "Thanks for being so worried. But I'll be okay."
They were walking through the mall to get to Macy's when Spencer bumped into her partner from work. Spencer was an interior designer.
"Spencer, hey." Amanda Reign waved at Spencer as she walked out of Sephora with their other friends.
"Hi, Amanda." Spencer smiled and went over.
Hanna opted out of socializing with Spencer's friends from work and instead sat at a bench to rest her swollen feet.
Hanna was taking small breaths, this happened a lot. Her doctor assured her that she just had trouble breathing carrying the weight of a baby.
Aria glanced at Hanna and noticed her breathing. She removed herself from the conversations that were going on between Spencer's friends, Emily and Spencer.
"Han, you alright?" Aria said as she sat down, her voice was full of concern.
"I'm fine," Hanna took a breath. "This happens every now and then. It happened while I was pregnant with Bryn too."
"Do you want a smoothie or something?" Aria asked.
"No. Wait," Hanna thought. "A green drink would be lovely, thanks, boo."
"No problem," Aria went into Orange Julius and came out moments later with a green drink.
She handed it to Hanna. "Here."
Hanna took a sip. "Thanks, Aria."
"No problem." Aria smiled.
"Guys, I'm tired." Emily said as they walked out of Macy's.
"I am too," Hanna yawned.
Aria and Spencer looked at each other. "We wanted to go to get something to eat first."
"Fine, we can go to like a drive thru. I'm tired." Hanna complained.
"Well, Hanna's pregnant...let's go. She needs sleep." Aria said.
"Thank you," Hanna said.
Spencer, Hanna, Aria and Emily carried their bags to the parkade. Spencer and Emily got into the back seat as Hanna got into the passengers.
Aria opened the passengers door and noticed Hanna was sitting there.
"I guess I'm driving," Aria smiled and closed the door.
She got into the drivers seat and backed out of their parking space. She drove through the huge parking lot and drove down a busy street.
"Where are we stopping?" Aria asked as she stared at the restaurants that had drive thru signs.
"McDonalds?" Spencer suggested.
"God no. I have to lose the baby weight." Emily said. She had gained a total of fifteen pounds since her pregnancy with Penelope.
"Fine, I'll just drive to the Capitol Grille and I'll order takeout while you guys wait in the car." Aria said as she drove downtown to the grille.
They arrived at Hanna's house finally. Hanna and Emily had both fallen asleep.
Aria gently shook Hanna awake. "Han, you're at home."
Hanna yawned and got out of the car. Emily came out and followed Hanna inside.
Spencer and Aria looked at each other. Spencer finally said. "I guess we're bringing the stuff inside."
Aria ran the food inside and came back out to help Spencer.
They placed all the bags on the floor in the spacious kitchen. Hanna and sitting on the couch in the family room, same with Emily.
Aria did the dishes and Spencer got the plates ready. They placed them at the kitchen counter and went to wake up their friends.
Before Spencer tried to wake up Emily. Emily got up. "I'm up."
Aria gently shook Hanna again and they went into the kitchen and sat at the granite island.
"So, Emily, when you heading back to work?" Aria asked trying to make some conversation.
Emily played with her chicken. "Hmm, I was thinking of staying home until Penelope turns two. After all, Micah and I can afford for me to not work."
"That's good," Aria took a bite of her steak. She wiped her mouth and looked at Spencer. "So Spence, any luck with Dr. Rosier?"
Spencer looked up with a sad look on her face. "Um, no, actually. But Toby and I aren't giving up. We're planning on maybe surrogacy as an option. We're already on the waiting list."
Hanna looked at Spencer. She felt so bad. Here she was having her second child whilst Spencer was still trying to have her first. Hanna was blessed with Bryn and now a son.
"Have you thought about adoption?" Emily asked.
Spencer looked up. "Not really. We want the kids the be somewhat ours, and with surrogacy it's technically my egg and Toby will be fertilizing it but someone else will carry the baby."
Hanna was about to say something until they heard the front door open. Caleb appeared in the kitchen.
Hanna got up from her seat and hugged her husband. "Hey, baby."
"Hey, Han," Caleb kissed her softly on the lips. He then bent down and kissed her baby bump. "Hi, little buddy."
"Awe..." Emily, Spencer and Aria smiled at the interaction between Caleb and Hanna.
Hanna turned around and realized Aria was recording it on the camera that was sitting on the island.
"Ari, did you get that on tape?" Hanna asked.
"Of course. Its cute." Aria laughed.
Hanna felt herself blush as Caleb rubbed her back and said hi to her friends.
The adults socialized until they each had to get home to take care of their families.
That night Hanna and Caleb were lying in bed doing their separate things. Hanna was reading a fashion magazine as Caleb was on his Macbook laptop doing some work. Caleb worked in the corporation at Apple. He made excellent money and all he really did was do computer stuff like make apps, design new computers and stuff like that.
"Babe?" Hanna asked as she closed her magazine.
Caleb closed his laptop. "Yes, Hanna?"
"Can you give me a foot massage please?" Hanna asked sweetly.
Caleb smiled. "Why not?" He came over to Hanna's side of the king size bed and sat at the end of her feet.
Hanna and Caleb continued to talk until they fell asleep in each other's arms.
