Disclaimer: I do not own Pretty Little Liars. However, I do own this plot.

Notes: Okay, my heart still refuses to accept Toby is part of the "A Team" so for the sake of the story, Toby has not joined the dark side and my poor little Spencer did not spend her anniversary night crying on his doorstep while psycho Mona is enjoying their supposed to be meal. Besides, I am torn between sweet Wren who just so happened to sweep me off my feet when he played the prince on ABC's "Once Upon a Time" so now I'm even more torn between Spoby and Wrencer. Also, Hanna & Caleb, it follows everything according to PLL up to the point when he first left Rosewood, he does not return until...well you'll see! Jason is also not the weirdo hottie living next door that lets psycho Mona touch him. I had originally planned to bring Maya back from the dead but I've decided to go a different route for Emily. Hope you enjoy!

Chapter One – Welcome Home

It wasn't supposed to play out like this, but yet it had. Life never worked the way it is planned or dreamt of, it always has a plan of its own and in the end it leaves you feeling silly for even thinking it could be how you wanted it to be. Hanna Marin, the beautiful blonde blue - eyed Homecoming Queen was not supposed to go from dating the Reverend's son to giving her virginity to the sketchy new bad boy in town. She wasn't supposed to fall for him and she certainly was not supposed to have his child, but Hanna Marin did. At the tender age of 17, a few days before the start of her Senior Year on September 3rd, she gave birth to a boy.

***Flash Back***

"I'm pregnant" said Hanna as she wiped leftover vomit from her chin. "I'm pregnant not bulimic"

Spencer's eyes widened. "WHAT!"

"P-R-E-G" began Hanna.

"No, No, we heard what you… I just… oh god" said Aria, as she sunk next to Hanna.

"Are you going to keep it?" asked Emily, her eyes filled with concern.

"Yeah" replied Hanna as she looked up to Emily and Spencer who were pacing back and forth.

"Are you sure? Do you have any idea how hard this will be? You can't just return the baby when you're done playing house. You have to get a job and dedicate yourself 110% to this baby Han" said Spencer, her pitch was getting higher. She was freaking out. "You're going to have to stay up all night. You better believe that child will be a drama queen just like you, meaning he's going to cry for hours and throw tantrums and you're going to have to clean -"

"YES Spencer, I know. I know exactly what the stakes are but I know want to keep it. Before Emily even asked, I...I never even thought about getting rid of it" replied Hanna, a little annoyed.

"Baby" said Emily.

"What?" asked Hanna

"You called your baby an It" explained Emily.

"Oh oops" giggled Hanna as she placed her hand on her still flat belly. "My bad little one"

Spencer threw her hands up in the air. "Am I the only person thinking logically about this?"

"Dammit Spence, I'll learn how to be a good mother and besides, my BABY will have the best aunties right?" Hanna desperately wanted to hear reassuring words. She already put herself down for the first few weeks that now that she came to terms with her pregnancy, all she wants to do is enjoy it.

Spencer sighed. "Han, I'm not… I'm sorry if I came down hard on you but I guess I'm just scared for you. You're doing this on your own. Your baby won't have a dad. Are you going to be okay with that?"

Hanna nodded. "I'll be his everything"

Aria "You called him a he, I mean we're all referring to the baby as he"

"Called who a he" asked Spencer

"You called Hanna's baby a he, what if he's a girl"

Spencer smirked. "The universe would not be cruel enough to give you a girl, I don't think we could handle another mini-Hanna"

The girls laughed and Hanna forced a smile and thought to herself, If my baby is a boy, what if he ends up looking like Caleb? "It's too soon to tell" she said, joining her friends in their laughter.

Spencer gave her a small smile and hugged her. "Well, we dealt with A, what can be worse than that?"

****END OF FLASHBACK****

PRESENT DAY

For months she recalled crying herself to sleep at the thought of his touch, his lips, his body, his smile and his reincarnation. Heartbreak she could take, it was the aftermath, what he left that completely destroyed her. The first few weeks of her pregnancy she hid it, not even Aria, Spencer or Emily knew, I guess you could say part of her was in denial. She clearly remembered the whispers, the stares and the disgust in all their eyes when she was practically waddling down the hall ways. She remembered the fingers being pointed at her while she walked down town. Sometimes she'd snap and tell them off but there were other times when she smirked and held her head high, but then again that happened when she was holding his hand, Sean.

Sean Ackard. Hanna smiled at the thought of her knight in shining armor. Just when she thought she'll have to go through this parenthood thing alone he came in and volunteered to be a teenage dad. He was there when the baby kicked, he defied his parents when they tried to separate them and most importantly he was right by her side when Mason was born.

*****FLASH BACK****

He cupped her face. "Hanna, I've loved you for so long and I don't care if ...ugh I can't even say his name dammit….Look, I don't care who the father is. You're mine and now this baby could be mine too, if you want him to be."

Hanna sighed. "Sean, your family will never accept my son and you're too young and besides you're going off to college and-"

Sean Ackard cut her off with a kiss. "Hanna Banana, I want this. I want you and the baby."

"You're sweet but this isn't like playing house or a toy baby. This baby will cry, kick and scream and you deserve to live your youth and have the complete college experience. I don't want to hold you back" said Hanna, trying to reason with him.

"If by college experience, you mean going out to parties and hooking up with different girls, you know I'm not interested in drinking or sex, you know that Hanna." He sighed. "I'm not like.. I'm not like him. I'm one of the good ones, can't you see?

Hanna gulped. "Sean, I don't want you to look at me and my son in 10 years and hate us"

"I love you Hanna and I want this, I want to start our family. I'm willing to raise him as my own." said Sean "I was there to through it all. When you had your crazy pickles, peanut butter and strawberry ice cream cravings and when we found out the sex of the baby. Shit, I even bought you the pregnancy book which I ended up reading. I'm already more of a father to this baby than he will ever be. Please Hanna, let me be his father"

Hanna's heart broke in knowing that this was the moment Caleb was officially out of her life and lost all rights on their son. Sean was right and it completely broke her heart. Part of her still wished for Caleb to come in through those doors and tell her he had found what he was looking for and needed her to be happy. But she knew far too well life is no fairytale and hers was far from it. She looked at her sleeping newborn baby, the one she had just finished pushing out a few hours ago and knew he needed a father. She looked up at Sean's brown eyes, trying to find the same warmth she had once found in a familiar pair but it was in vain. No pair of brown eyes could compare to his. Her baby began to cry and that's when she made her choice.

"Mason Ackard, has kind of nice ring to it right?" said Hanna, trying to form a smile.

Sean beamed as he walked toward the little crib next to her hospital bed. "You here that Mase? You're an Ackard"

Hanna lips pressed together, she couldn't shake the feeling she got in her stomach at the sound of her son's last name. Was she making a mistake? She watched Sean pick the newborn out of the crib and try to soothe his cries, but the newborn only cried harder. The lump began forming in her throat and it took everything in her to not scream and cry along with her baby. Now, Caleb was really gone.

******END OF FLASHBACK****

Her smile soon started fading when she remembered him. He should have been there not Sean, she thought to herself. She hated herself for this. Every time she'd have an ounce of happiness the thought of what should have been came in and brought her to a brief stage of sadness. It was yet again another first word, first step and another first that Caleb was missing out on. Because he left you. The thought of "maybe" haunted her and followed her like a dark cloud - she shook her head try to shake those thoughts she'd push to the back of her mind for years. "Not Today" she whispered to herself as a single tear escaped her eyes as she felt herself walking down memory lane. "Not today"

She smiled at her reflection in the mirror as she placed the pair of diamond dangling earrings, her beloved had given her for Valentines Day. Today, was her little boy's pre-school graduation ceremony. She smiled again, her son. He was gorgeous and not just in her eyes. Every time they go out to do groceries, the same people who once whispered behind her back saying she was a whore or another statistic, were now the same people smiling and complimenting her on having such a beautiful son. Her little boy did inherit his father's chocolate hair along with the tan skin but he also had a head of curls, which he obviously inherited from his mother, and her breath-taking blue eyes. No wonder, every one fell in love with her little boy.

"You look stunning" said Sean as he watched Hanna walk down the stairs.

"Alright, love birds I did not fly out from Texas to watch Sean drool over you. I came to see my nephew receive the oh so prestigious Rosewood Day Care diploma. So come on! Let's get a move on people!" joked Emily as she opened the door grabbing Sean's arm and pushing him out the door. "Start up the car!"

Hanna laughed. "Thank you for coming, Mason is going to be so happy to see you again. He's more excited about seeing his aunts again than the last day of school!"

Emily smiled. "You know I wouldn't miss it for anything in the world." The girls hugged and laughed then they heard Sean honked the car, telling the to hurry up.

In the Bryons house..

"It's so good to have you back Aria" said Byron as he kissed her forehead. "We missed you."

"You're glowing!" said Ella "Oh sweetie, it's so good to have you back in town, by the way where is Ezra?"

Her parents had been against the marriage at first but after a few years they realized Aria and Ezra were in for the long run and there was no point in opposing them anymore, she was now legally an adult and married.

Aria bit her bottom lip as she recalled two nights ago.

**** Flashback ******

"Why can't I go again?" asked Ezra.

"Because it's nothing big, just Mason's pre-school thing and I'm only going for a few days. Besides you have nothing in Rosewood and my parents have come around but are not exactly crazy about you" replied Aria as her eyes scanned their room.

"It'll be a great time to maybe work on that don't you think" said Ezra

"You can't go okay so just drop it. I'll be home in a week what's the big deal" snapped Aria

"Look, I'll do my best to get out of work early and I'll bring take out and have a relaxing night in" said Ezra, trying to have the patience that had lately been lacking in their home.

"Sure, sounds good" mumbled Aria as she knelt to find the heels she threw somewhere under their bed.

"You don't sound so excited." teased Ezra.

"Well, am I supposed to be excited about what we do practically every night?" snapped Aria, again.

Ezra smiled as he spotted the royal blue heels his wife was looking for. His wife. He smiled, he loved the sound of it. "Looking for these?" said Ezra as he held her heels

"Yes, thank you" she quickly kissed him and resumed to find her keys.

"You've been a mess lately" laughed Ezra as he watched her scurry around their loft again.

"Are you going to criticize me about everything Ezra just because I'm not excited to sit down on that same old couch and watch the same movie for the millionth time"

"Woah, I let the first two slide" his eyes narrowed in confusion "Where is this coming from. If you don't want to then don't. It was only a suggestion. I just wanted to spend some time with you before you go back to Rosewood"

Aria sighed in frustration. "I have to go."

That same night Aria prepared a romantic dinner for Ezra. She felt horrible about her behavior that morning and felt she wasn't putting much effort into her marriage lately, and the guilt of looking forward to a few days without him silently killed her. "I shouldn't be happy about being away from my husband" she thought to herself.

Her phone rang. She sighed and answered. "Hi Ezra, running late?" She already knew what line to expect when the phone rang at 7 pm.

"Yes, the faculty meeting is taking longer than usual. I'm sorry"

"No, it's okay. Take your time" she clicked. "Please take your time."

****End of Flashback****

"He couldn't make it, you know with the end of the semester" said as she faintly smiled and rushed to the bathroom to change her clothes.

ROSEWOOD PRESCHOOL

"MASON ACKARD!" said Mrs. Harper, as she handed Mason his diploma. The crowd of seated parents clapped and cheered, especially Hanna as she mouthed an "I love you" to her beaming little boy.

After the ceremony, they mingled with some of the parents before heading back to her mom's house to help her set up for the graduation party that was going to be held at their house.

"Hey, did you send Spencer the invite?" asked Emily as she placed the mantle on the table.

"Yeah, she had a work thing so she couldn't catch a flight on time. She said she'd be here tonight." said Hanna "Speaking of, where is Ezra?"

"Faculty meetings and such, he said he's sorry and will make it up to Mason" lied Aria.

Hanna nodded. "There's a few people coming that we haven't seen in a while...that Sean is now good friends with … I hope you will be comfortable with it?"

Aria eyed her and was about to respond when the girls felt the front door open. "The chariot has arrived with the beautiful princess!" he joked.

Hanna left to greet her guests. "Wren! Em! How are you feeling today?"

"Daddy fixed me!" excitedly said the little girl. Both Aria and Emily didn't want to turn around and face the man their friend had deceived and the same one they had to shut the door that many times he came to them begging for information on her whereabouts.

"Well, I have a surgery scheduled so I'll probably be coming late. Take good care of my daughter!" said Wren as he left. Both Emily and Aria let out a breath they had held when they heard the door close.

Hanna re-entered the room, this time with another person was with her. "Emma, I would like you meet my friends, Emily and Aria." Emma hid behind Hanna's leg. "Girls, this is Emma, Wren's daughter."

Emily and Aria smiled and waved at her. Aria, always being drawn to humans who are smaller than her stepped closer to the little girl and held out her hand. "Hi, I'm Aria"

Aria studied her features, she looked younger than Mason but not young enough to be considered a toddler. She saw the little girl had her father's brown eyes but the blonde hair, she could safely say belonged to her mother probably. The little girl then smiled at Aria and there she saw Wren's smile.

"I didn't know Wren had a daughter." said Emily

Hanna was about to answer when another voice entered the backyard.

"Hanna, where do you want me to put the goodies bags?" asked another familiar voice.

Aria's eyes widened as she watched him enter the backyard, he stopped in his tracks when he noticed it wasn't just Hanna and Emma.

"Aria, you're sight for sore eyes" he teased. "As always"

Aria nervously smiled. "Hi Jason."

Jason sensing the tension, nodded and went on to place the goodie bags in the kitchen.

Emily smirked. "Boy am I glad I'm a lesbian and won't have to deal with the drama that will brew up this afternoon"

Hanna laughed and Aria rolled her eyes. "There will be no drama. He didn't stop me from marrying Ezra before, and now well I'm married. Besides, today is about Mason not us."

Meanwhile, at a rental house overlooking the lake.

The elderly woman handed him the house key. "We hope you enjoy your stay, Mr. Rivers."

"Thank you, can I get a spare?" Caleb asked.

"Yes, please. He has a tendency to lose things." the brunette teased.

The woman nodded and handed Caleb another key. "As a matter of fact, we could send up some complimentary champagne and chocolate covered strawberries for tonight" said the elderly woman.

Caleb placed his hand around her waist and in his best attempt at a British accent. "Oh, I think my beloved wife would love that, won't you sweetie?"

She rolled her eyes and began walking away. "I hate when you try using the accent, I've told you that!"

Caleb laughed. "Oh come on Spencer!"


Now how on earth did Spencer & Caleb end up in that situation? You'll see! Please be kind and review :) Thank you!
