Four Years Later

"Good morning sweet pea." Hanna said to her four year old daughter, Tiffany. She lived in an apartment in California opposite Spencer and Toby. After, Spencer didn't get into Upenn, she went to California with Hanna, and Toby went with them, getting a job opportunity there. Aria went to New York with Ezra, and Emily went to Danby, and broke up with Paige. And, Caleb. No one knew what had happened to him. Hanna tried to contact him to tell him about his daughter, but he never picked up. So, eventually she gave up. Spencer and Toby were Tiffany's god parents, and she was content with the life she was living. Hanna never expected it, but she would never trade it for a college life full of partying.

"Morning Mummy." Tiffany said, and sat on the couch.

"Why are you up so early?"

"I smelled bacon, where is it?" Hanna laughed.

"It's in the oven sweetie. We gotta wait a bit."

"But, Mummy, I want bacon." Hanna smiled at the little girl, who she loved with all of her heart.

"What about a biscuit to keep you going until your bacon." Tiffany looked up at the ceiling in thought, as she always did when she was thinking. She looked up at the sky, as if answers might come from angels up above.

"Okay, what biscuits are there?"

"Well, we've got chocolate chip cookies, and chocolate digestives, and jammy dodgers." Tiffany once again looked up at the ceiling. Hanna smiled.

"Chocolate digestives." Tiffany replied.

"Coming right up for my little diamond." Hanna said, with a wink. After looking around for the chocolate digestives in the cookie tin she found them, put them on a plate, and brought them to Tiffany. The little girl with blonde hair and brown eyes greedily ate them rather quickly, and dusted her hands off when she was done, having some chocolate around her mouth. Hanna laughed, and took out her phone. Snapping a picture of her little diamond, she sent the picture to Ashley, Spencer, Emily and Aria who were asking for constant pictures of their beautiful niece, granddaughter and goddaughter. Emily and Aria came to California every month to see Hanna and Tiffany. Tiffany spent the night at Spencer's, while the four girls had a sleepover. And, Tiffany was having her own sleepover with Ezra and Toby – who were big kids. They sated up late watching Disney movies and eating sweets. Over the years, Ezra and Toby had gotten pretty close, and became best friends.

"Bacon's ready." Tiffany shouted, as the oven started to beep. Hanna giggled, and took the bacon out and the potato waffles. Tiffany had discovered them once grocery shopping. Now, they were a necessity for breakfast. Hanna dished up her plate of breakfast and Tiffany's, she sat on the couch, giving her daughter her plate of breakfast, and Hanna handed Tiffany the remote. And, they watched America's Next Top Model for the rest of the morning.

"Hey Han, Tiff." Spencer said, coming into the apartment at eleven o clock.

"Hello Auntie Spencie." Tiffany said, looking at the screen.

"Hey," Hanna said, eyes glued to her screen.

"Just like her Mother." Spencer said, and she pulled out two issues of the newest cosmopolitan. "I've got Cosmo." Spencer said, and laughed when Hanna and Tiffany's head whipped right around. Tiffany only read magazines, and as much as Spencer, Aria, Ezra and Toby tried to get her to read normal books, she always pushed them away, opting for the magazines. Talk about following her Mother's footsteps.

"Thank you Aunt Spencie." Tiffany said, before opening the magazine, and reading it. Spencer sat down next to Hanna, and they shared the magazine.

"You're up late." Hanna whispered, eyes still glued down on the paper. Spencer blushed.

"Well, I went to bed late." Spencer whispered back.

"And by me, you mean you and Toby, don't ya?"

"Yup."

"Celebrating something?" Spencer smiled even wider. "He did, didn't he?" Hanna shouted, and Spencer nodded.

"Yeah, he did." Spencer shouted, and she showed her best friend the ring. Hanna inspected the ring. It was a 9 Carat White Gold Quarter Carat Diamond Solitaire Ring.

"He did very well." Hanna said, smiling. Happy for her best friends. Getting the attention of Tiffany, she looked up from the magazine and to the two girls. Getting the sight of Spencer's hand, Tiffany gasped, and the two twenty two year olds giggled. Even though Tiffany was young, she knew about weddings, very well. Thanks to her Mother.

"That's a very nice ring." Tiffany said, inspecting the ring. Hanna and Spencer laughed.

"I've got a job for you, would you like to do it?" Spencer asked Tiffany, lifting her onto her lap.

"It depends what it is?" Spencer laughed.

"Would you like to be the flower girl at my wedding?" Spencer asked, and Tiffany's face lit up with a huge smile, a sparkle in her eyes, and she clapped her hands.

"Yes, yes, yes, yes." The two girls laughed at the girl who was now bouncing around the apartment.

"And, Hanna, will you be my maid of honour?" Hanna's eyes filled with tears, and she fanned them to stop from crying. "I'm taking that as a yes?"

"Spence," Hanna started, and pulled her friend into a tight hug, "you will never regret this." Hanna cried out, and Spencer laughed, wrapping her arms around her friend as well.

"I know, you'll be the best maid of honour any one will ask for."

"God damn right I will." The two girls laughed, and Spencer pulled away from the hug when she saw Tiffany come out of her room wearing a Cinderella dress over her Tinkerbell pyjamas. Hanna looked at her daughter as well who was now skipping around waving a wand in the air. Hanna grabbed her phone once again, and videoed her little girl skipping around her apartment.

"She's just the cutest." Spencer said, once Tiffany was sitting on the floor watching Top Model again.

"Ugh, I know. And, she has Caleb's eyes, they are just looking even more like his now." Hanna said.

"Has she asked yet?" Hanna sighed.

"No, she hasn't. As far as she knows, Toby is the man in her life, if you said Caleb she wouldn't know what you are talking about."

"Have you tried calling him again?"

"Well, I tried to on her fourth birthday, but he didn't pick up, and then I gave up again. I mean, when I was pregnant I thought I had to do it in person. But, she's four, and this is Caleb. His Dad abandoned him, and he's going to blame me."

"He won't blame you, Hanna."

"Yeah, well. We both don't know him now. And, I don't even know what's going on in his life. And, sure, a part of me wants to know what he's up to, but the other doesn't really care."

"Do you still love him?"

"Yeah, but I guess a little part of me will always love him. And a part of me will still want that happy ending with him, but if we weren't meant to be. We're not meant to be."

"You're the strongest woman I've ever met." Spencer admitted.

"I know, I should win a medal." Hanna said, smiling. "Congratulations Spence."

"Thanks Han." The two friends shared another hug, and then the three girls watched Next Top Model for an hour until Toby came in, and Tiffany changed the TV to That's So Raven, and then they spent their Saturday watching That's so Raven.

For those wondering, there will be Haleb interaction in the next chapter. Review please.
