Hanna's P.O.V:
We drove in silence from my house to The Grille, Caleb's hand rested of my leg the whole way, but all I could think about was how I was going to tell my friends. Before I could make up my mind, we pulled into a car park right out front of The Grille, I felt butterflies in my stomach again. I don't know why I was nervous to tell the girls, I know that they will support me. Caleb and I entered the Rosewood Grille hand in hand and sat at the booth where Aria, Spencer and Emily were already sitting. "Hey guys" they all chimed, as Caleb and I took our seats. "Hanna, why did you want us all to meet here? We are seeing you tonight at Noel Kahns party, couldn't it wait til then?" Spencer asked.
Caleb shot me a look of reassurance, and I turned to face the girls, my 3 best friends.. "There's something I... We... need to tell you.." I said quietly, the girls all looked concerned. "It's nothing to be worried about, " I assured them. "Hanna, what is going on!?" Aria asked impatiently, I took a deep breath and squeezed Caleb's hand under the table. "I'm pregnant." the girls all look shocked, I waited a few moments for the news to sink in, "13 weeks to be exact" I added, I looked at each of my best friends, trying to gauge their reactions. I can only imagine what Ali would have said it she was still around. After a few short moments of stunned silence, the girls all erupted into smiles, "congratulations Han" they cooed, "you're going to be parents!" Emily said, Aria stood up and leant over the table to hug Caleb and I.
After everyone settled down, and we ordered our food, Spencer turned to me and said "you have got some explaining to do girly" I giggled and nodded at her "I know I know." Sure enough the questions from the girls started. "How far along are you, Have you told you're mum, when and where did it happen, what does it feel like...etc etc." I could hardly keep up. I took a moment to compose my thoughts, and said "I'm 13 weeks, I am telling my mum when she gets home from her business trip today, I think it uh... Happened at Spencer's lake house" I giggled "and it feels indescribably amazing." I added. The girls smiled,"That was my nanas couch" Emily and Aria teased Spencer, who laughed it off.
"Well Hanna, you know we support you and love you no matter what, that goes for you to Caleb, and we will be by your side the whole time." Aria said. "Your support means the world to us" Caleb thanked the girls, then turned to face me, neither of us could wipe the smile off of our face. He leaned in and kissed me passionately, it was like he forgot the girls were watching. After a few heated moments Emily coughed, snapping Caleb and I back into reality. I blushed and smiled at the girls who just laughed. The rest of lunch went smoothly, the girls and I talked about the baby the whole time. "I have to go home, Paige is waiting for me" Em said "I've got a movie date with Fitz soon, so I should probably get going too" Aria added. We all stood up, the girls shuffled out from the booth seat and each gave Caleb and I a hug goodbye.
Caleb's P.O.V:
"How are you feeling beautiful girl?" I asked Hanna, I could see that she was nervous to tell her mum. Hanna didn't reply, she just shot me a worried look. We pulled up into the driveway of the Marin house, and I undid my seat belt and shifted in my seat to look at Hanna. "I am right here with you, no matter what your mum says, it doesn't change anything for us and our baby. I won't let anything ever hurt your or our child Hanna, I love you" she forced a smile "I love you to, lets just get this over with."
We walked up the footpath and opened the front door, "mum.." Hanna called, "just a second, I'm unpacking" Ashley Marin called down from the master bedroom upstairs. I squeezed Hanna's hand and we walked into the kitchen and sat at the dining table, I could see the nerves on Hanna's face, and to be honest I was nervous too. A few minutes later Mrs Marin walked into the room, "Hi guys, did you have a good weekend while I was away?" She asked. Hanna and I both nodded, "what's up with you two, did you have a fight?" She asked with a concerned look on her face. Hanna shook her head, "no mum it's not that" , "we'll what is going on?" Ashley asked.
Hanna's P.O.V:
I took a deep breath and tried to remind myself what Caleb had told me in the car. "Mum can you please sit down..." Hesitantly my mum sat down at the seat opposite Caleb and I, scrutinizing our every move. "So mum do you remember when I took Caleb up to the lake house?" I asked, and she nodded, "well we uh... We sl-" "Hanna I really don't want to about your.. your.. Sex life" interrupted my mum, "MUM, please just let me finish" I said, as I shot a look at Caleb who looked both embarrassed and nervous, "we did sleep together, it wasn't the first time either, but that's besides the point, we used protection but.. It didn't work..." I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes, "what do you mean in didn't work Hanna Marin?!" my mum demanded, "I'm pregnant, Mum" I broke out into sobs, and Caleb wrapped his arms around me in an attempt to comfort me.
My mother just sat in silence, starting at Caleb and I while he tried to soothe me. "Mum, say something" I pleaded. "Mrs Marin, I love your daughter with every fiber of my being, and I know I will love our child just as much. I will never to anything to hurt Hanna or the baby, and I will support her no matter what, I can only hope that you will do the same" Caleb was getting emotional now too. I kissed his hands lovingly, it took all of my strength to not kiss him in front of my mum, but I knew that would only make her more uncomfortable.
Caleb and I sat at the table for what felt like an eternity waiting for my mums response, eventually she composed her thoughts and said "Hanna I hope you can understand that I am so disappointed in you, you had such a future ahead of you, and I never wanted you to go through something like this, however you are my daughter and I love you unconditionally. I will support you and your child, my grandchild, as best as I can. And Caleb, I appreciate that you love my daughter, but you are both still so young and I don't think you realize the responsibility that comes with having a child. Which is why I think you should move in with us, to be with Hanna. If you are really ready for this challenge it's is up to you to make sure that both Hanna and the baby are taken care of."
Caleb looked relieved, "Thank you mum, and I still have a future, it is just different than the one we had planned." "We can talk about this in more detail later Hanna, but for now I think you need some rest and some time alone with Caleb. Why don't you two head up stairs and I will make some phone calls to book you an ultrasound Appointment." Caleb helped me stand up, I was exhausted from the stress of the day, I gave my mum a hug and Caleb lead me upstairs and into my... our bedroom."
I laid in bed while Caleb showered, reflecting on the events of the day. Telling Caleb, and the girls, and my mum, I was so thankful for all of their support. Just as I was drifting into sleep my mum knocked on the door, "Hanna, can I come in?" "Yeah" I said softly. My mum cautiously walked into the bedroom and sat down on the bed next to me. "I just want to sort out a few things, Hanna" she said, "How far along are you? Have you been taking prenatal care vitamins? Are you keeping it? What are you going to do about school? Who else knows about the.. baby?" She seemed flustered.
"Mum breathe, I am 13 weeks, yes I stole some prenatal tablets from in Spencer's bathroom without her know, they were from when Melissa was pregnant. Of course we are keeping it, abortion is out of the question, and Caleb and I don't want our child to end up in the foster system like Caleb did. I will go to school as long as I can, then I will enroll in an online home-school program for when the baby comes. I've told only you, Caleb, and the girls. " my mum looked overwhelmed, I leant in and hugged her, "I am still your baby" I whispered to her. "I love you Hanna" she mumbled, "now go to sleep, it's tiring growing a tiny human." I laughed and curled up in my blankets. My mum left the room and I drifted to sleep.
