Hi guys! So I got an idea for this story while re-watching 6B-7A and wrote up one short chapter. Let me know what you think and if you think I should keep it going.


"So, not that I mind really but can you please tell me again how we got roped into working on our own wedding invitations? Shouldn't your fiance be the one helping you do this?" Spencer asks as she picks up an RSVP card and puts it into envelope with an invitation and seals it up before tossing it into a pile in front of Aria.

They had spent the last few days in Lucas' loft, each work on their specific tasks to help with Hanna's wedding. Today it was invitations; Hanna puts invitations in envelopes, Emily is addressing return envelopes and putting them in with invitations, Spencer puts RSVP cards in with the invitations and seals, Aria addresses them and Ali stamps and stacks them to be mailed.

"Because five sets of hands works a lot quicker than two...and because you guys love me..." Hanna says with a big smile as all eyes look up at her with tired expressions. They had been at this for hours and everybody in the room was cranky. Hanna huffs as she stuffs an invitation into an envelope and passes it to Emily "AND because the wedding is in like three weeks and these should've went out weeks ago but someone had a different agenda and I fell behind."

The mention of the last few weeks leaves them all without words as they all take a pause in their tasks to pass quick glance to each other around the table before getting back to work. They sit in complete silence, each one knowing what the others were thinking about. It had been a long time since they all had felt peace in their lives and so much had happened since they had come back. Charlotte and Noel were both killed. Hanna had been kidnapped and tortured. Spencer got shot then found out the only mother she had ever known, wasn't actually her mother. Ali was held against her will and tortured by her psycho doctor husband, now her and Emily were about to have a baby in a strange twist that finally brought them together after years of dancing around it. Aria had put her own spur of the moment wedding on hold because Nicole had been found. All of this, and yet they somehow leaned on each other enough to get them through everything thrown at them, like best friends do.

Emily finally clears her throat and stands up to cut through the tension in the room as she walks over to the kitchen counter to pick up their bottle of wine.

"Em, where are you going?" Hanna frantically asks, never looking up from her stack.

She spins around to face her friends "Getting more wine...anyone need a refill?" she asks with a roll of her eyes in Hanna's direction before she walks back to the table to top off everybody but Ali's glass, which she fills with water.

"Hanna does, obviously." Ali says with a laugh as she puts a stamp on the envelope and puts it into the stack ready to be mailed.

"Han, calm down. We will get them out in time...I promise." Aria says as she finishes an address and hands the envelope to Ali to stamp and picks up the next envelope in the stack.

"Where are we now? We must be almost done." Hanna says as she leans over to look at the address book in front of Aria.

"I'm in the P's right now...and addressing as fast as I can." she reassures her, never looking up from where she writes down a new name and address.

Hanna grabs her glass and sighs as she sags back in her chair with"Thanks you guys...for keeping me calm."

"This is you calm? I'd hate to see you antsy." Spencer deadpans

"Haha, very funny." she shoots back making Spencer and the others laugh "I mean it though, seriously. The last couple weeks have been some of the worst, probably ever." she says again, never looking up as her mind wonders over everything that has happened. Pulling herself out of her daze she continues "I didn't even know if I'd make it down the aisle so I really appreciate all the help you guys have put into this wedding."

"Like we would've let you do this without us? Not a chance." Ali says as she bumps her shoulder into Hanna's making her smile.

"Hey enough with the heart to heart...get back to work...I need invitations people" Emily says playfully.

They continue their work, stuffing and sealing envelopes all around the table and passing to Aria for addresses. Several minutes tick by before Aria stops and takes a sip of wine and then shoots Hanna a glance "Um, Han...?" she says as she looks back down to the address book and back up to Hanna.

Hanna's eyes grow wide and she refuses to look up from the envelope in her hands "What? Please don't tell me you spilled wine on them...please Aria." she pleads.

When Aria doesn't answer she glances up and looks over in her direction. She quickly looks back down to the address book and immediately back up to Hanna "Nothing, never mind. It's not a problem." she says as she turns the page in the book

"No. What was it?"

"Nothing, I don't think this person is supposed to get one so I'm just gonna skip them." she says again as she picks her pen back up and starts to jot down another address, hoping Hanna will brush it off, which she doesn't.

"Why? If they don't have an address then I can get one. Did they have an address?" she asks as she stands and looks over Aria's shoulder.

"Um, no they didn't." Aria mumbles as she continues to write

"If they are in the book, then they are supposed to get one." Hanna says again "Let me see and I will tell you if I really do need to get an address for them or if I can hand it out." she says as she reaches for the book.

Aria quickly pulls it away from Hanna and holds the book in her lap "No "

Hanna looks around at the other girls who watch the two fight over the address book. A look of fear washes over Hanna as a horrifying thought comes to mind "Who's name is in there Aria...is it...?" she starts but stops. They had been careful not to speak up A in the last couple of silent weeks, but that didn't them from always suspecting the worst.

"Hanna, do you really think A would write their address down for an invite? We don't even know who it is and they probably already knows all the details " Spencer says as she continues her work and when stops when she notices everybody looking at her "What? It was a joke...come on guys, we've talked about this before...it's easier to laugh and joke about our messed up lives have been than to spend the rest of them worrying about when A will pop in next. Plus, its been silent for weeks now."

"No, it's not A" Aria whispers to nobody in particular but shoots the rest of the girls a 'help me' look.

Hanna sighs and it brings a giggle out "She's right. I can't be worried about it. They are gone and out of our lives...at least for the moment" she looks back down to Aria "Fine, if it is not an A stunt, just let me see and I will tell you if they get one." she says as she holds her hand out for the glances around the table again at the girls before handing the book over to Hanna.

She flips the page back and runs her finger down the lines until she sees the name written down with no address. All the blood drains from her face and she feels her stomach knot up and her chest tighten. Turning away from the girls she takes the book over to the counter and sits it down, propping herself up with her hands on the ledge.

"Han, what's wrong? Who is it?" Emily asks worried as she shoots Aria a look who quickly diverts her eyes back to Hanna.

They wait in silence for her to respond but watching her closely as she turns back around and her eyes fall on Spencer. The two share a look and Spencer immediately knows, dropping her head back down to fidget with the RSVP in front of her.

"It's Caleb." she whispers as she turns back around to look down at the book, running her fingers of the bold letters RIVERS, CALEB that she had written down on the page.
