After everything that had happened with Hanna yesterday all Caleb & Hanna wanted to do was sleep so they could process the situation and figure out what they were going to do.
The couple was in a deep sleep, spooning as always. Hanna & Caleb had mutually decided today was Bella's day. The pair would take Bella out to a cafe to get her favourite milkshake and explain what was going on with her Mommy but little did they know today would turn out very different.
It was two in the morning and suddenly Hanna & Caleb's bedroom door flew open to reveal a crying Bella holding onto her blanket and bunny. "Mommy." Bella cried out waking up her mother.
Hanna awoke to see Bella crying beside her bed holding her arms out for her. "What's wrong baby?" Hanna asked concerned but as soon as she picked up Bella she already figured it out, Bella felt warm, really warm.
"Caleb." Hanna called out, touching his shoulder. "What, babe?" He groaned, then looking up to see Hanna with tears in her eyes, trying to comfort Bella who was practically screaming in pain.
"Oh my god." Caleb yelled, sitting up and putting his hand on the back of Bella's head. "Caleb, hold her I'm going to go grab an ice pack and a thermometer." Hanna said passing their baby to him.
"It's ok Belle Belle." Caleb comforted rocking his daughter back and forth as she continued to cry in his arms. The scared father was trying to figure out what was wrong with his daughter.
It was plainly obvious to anyone the Bella had an extremely high temperature. Caleb then realised his daughter was clutching her stomach, he sprung up instantly knowing what was about to happen.
Hanna re-entered the room holding an icepack under her arm and a thermometer in the other only to see Caleb hurrying their daughter to the bathroom as she vomited all over their bedroom floor.
"That it she's going to the hospital." Hanna sighed walking over to take of her daughters pjs. "No-no hospital." Bella whined as Caleb held her.
Hanna and Bella were cuddled up on their couch, finally home after spending nearly ten hours at a hospital. Bella's high temperature was caused by a urinary tract infection. The doctor prescribed Bella some antibiotics that she had to take before bedtime. She was not happy about it.
"Mommy, why are you so sad?" Bella suddenly asked. "I'm not sad Bubba, why would you think that?" Hanna questioned slightly upset because her daughter looked sad when she asked.
"Cause wen I sick, I sad and da baby made you sick so you sad." Bella sighed cuddling her Mom as she still was unwell. Hanna smiled because of Bella's adorableness "sweetie I went to the doctor so I'm not sick anymore, like when you went to the doctor last night."
"I not like doctor cause they stabbed me." Bella angrily said folding her arms. Hanna laughed "they didn't stab you they just gave you a needle." Bella smiled an closed her eyes. "Wel Dada said if I stop sceamimg den he would giv me lollipop."
"That's sweet of him-Wait how to you know the word stabbed?!" Hanna yelled. "I thought I told Daddy to stop letting you watch CSI with him?" Hanna yelled very annoyed at her husband even though Caleb said he only let Bella watch it because she would always fall asleep in under five minutes. Bella yawned. "Shh secret." Bella yawned and curled up to fall asleep on Hanna. When Caleb came home she was going to kill him.
"Babe, wake up." Caleb said trying to wake up Hanna by kissing her neck. "This is a good way to wake up." Hanna smiled giving him a peck on the lips and sitting up, trying not to disturb Bella who was fast asleep next to her.
That didn't work and Bella woke up. "Hi Dada." She yawned not moving very much because her body ached with pain from being so sick. "Hi Baby." He said quietly, wanting to keep her as sleepy as possible.
It was 6pm and it was time for Bella to have her medicine. Neither Hanna or Caleb wanted to give Bella medicine because they both knew it would be a difficult process. One time Bella needed medication for a cold and that did not end well.
Hanna stood up holding Bella. "I'm sorry Bella but you need to take your medicine now." Caleb sighed. "No." Bella cried dragging out the o. Hanna comforted their daughter by swaying her from side to side and Caleb rubbed her back.
After half an hour of Bella screaming and crying, Hanna and Caleb trying to bribe her and Hanna persuade her to drink it by telling her the burning would stop when she went potty. They gave up and Caleb forced her to drink it. Bella made a funny face before swallowing the medicine.
"It yummy, Dada more." Bella pleaded opening her mouth for herself this time. "After all that you want more." Hanna laughed. "Yes." Bella nodded her head tiredly.
"Mommy Daddy dis cool." Bella said as Hanna held her. "I'm glad you like it." Caleb smiled handing Bella an icy pole to help her stomach. To try and make Bella happy Hanna & Caleb had spent the last half an hour building a fort which consisted of their bedroom mattress and moving the two armchairs in their living room to throw a blanket over.
"What movie do you want to watch bubba?" Hanna walking over to the Tv with Caleb following behind. "Up cause dere's doggy like Cody." Bella smiled. "He is like Cody." Caleb smiled stealing Bella from Hanna.
"Where is Cody, Babe?" Caleb asked because Cody was always hanging around them at night. "I don't know?" Hanna shrugged but she knew they had to go find him now or else Bella would refuse to sleep without knowing we're her brother was.
"Cody." Bella started cry. "It's ok we'll find him." Hanna tried before walking outside to find the family dog. "Found him." Hanna laughed. Cody was trying to bring a stick inside that was far to big for the door way, every time he would try an walk forward the stick would block him.
"This is exactly why you couldn't be a police dog." Hanna laughed throwing the stick in the backyard.
A week later Hanna & Caleb were sat out on their patio watching Bella attempting to teach Cody tricks. It wasn't going well the dog was more interested in the treats instead of listening to directions from the small girl.
"Han relax it will be fine, I promise." Caleb said noticing how nervous Hanna was about telling her mom. "I know I know, I just don't know how's she's gonna react that's all."
"She's your Mom, you know how happy she will be."
"Caleb of course I know how happy she'll be but this is going to come a huge fucking shock and I don't know how she's gonna take this." Hanna yelled getting angry with Caleb before suddenly diverting her attention to Bella who started screaming in the backyard.
Forgetting their argument Hanna and Caleb ran to their daughter fearing that she'd seriously hurt herself. "What's wrong Bella?" Caleb yelled scooping up his daughter who was still crying. "I want McDonald's." Bella yelled.
"What the fuck!" Hanna swore trying not to laugh at her daughters ridiculous outburst.
"Daddy Mommy said bad word." The tiny blonde responded. "Mommy's sorry." Hanna fake apologized and told Caleb to put Bella in time out for acting like that and because she heard her Mom and Ted pull up, not wanting for them to walk into a house with her holding Bella whilst she had a tantrum.
"Can you please tell me Han." Ashley begged her daughter. Hanna & Caleb invited Ashley & Ted over for lunch telling her mother that they had a surprise. Three days later Ashley could no longer wait.
"I'll tell you after lunch Mom and before that I want to make sure Bella doesn't tell you."
"I bet it's twins." Ashley said excitedly.
Hanna laughed slowly and scratched the back of her neck. "Nope."
"How's it going back there?" Hanna called back from behind her. Caleb, Ted and Cody were sat in Bella's playroom with tiaras on their heads having a tea party. "Great." Caleb slowly said back.
Later that day all the adults were sitting around the table finishing their lunch, Bella had completely lost interest and was now playing with the magnets on the fridge. "Daddy Cody's on da road." Bella pointed out causing all the adults except Ashley to run out a chase the extremely fast dog.
"What are you making Bella?" Ashley asked kneeling down to her granddaughters level. Noticing Bella was making a strait line of seven different multicoloured hearts.
"Guess." Bella sqeualed.
"Ok." Ashley happily replied, smiling because Bella reminded her so much of Hanna. "Umm a snake." She guessed.
"Snake!" Bella screamed running outside. Ashley chased her to make sure she didn't fall down the patio stairs. "It's ok there's no snake Bella." Ashley tried to comfort. "Why you scare me den?" Bella sobbed.
Ashley shook her head she was definitely Hanna's daughter. "I'm sorry Belle Belle." She apologised to her granddaughter. "It's ok." Bella said hugging Ashley.
"Can we go back inside now?"
"Yea." The two year old said.
It had been almost fifteen minutes now since Cody was lost. Ashley was still attempting to guess Bella's picture to keep her distracted from the possibility of losing Cody.
At this point Ashley was just throwing out blind guesses. "You in gymnastics?" She guessed looking at the door hoping everyone would walk back in with the family dog.
"Nope."
"Casper the friendly ghost?"
Bella giggled. "You're silly Nanny." Ashley laughed. "I am not silly young lady." She said tickling her granddaughter. "How is gymnastics Bubba?" Ashley asked Bella as she could clearly see Bella didn't want to be tickled by her anymore.
"Good, Dada say if me try hard I go to lympics?" Bella smiled. "You want to go to the Olympics Bella?" Ashley asked her granddaughter stunned. "Yes, now back to pictur."
"Ok, I give up what is it?" Ashley said now wanting to know more about Bella going to the Olympics.
Bella smiled. "Dat's Mommy n Daddy, she said pointing at the first two hearts. "Me n Cody." She pointed at the third and forth heart. Bella took a deep breath so she could finish it.
"Dose are Baby A, Baby B, Baby C, Baby D and Baby E."
Ashley laughed. "Bella I don't think your Mommy is a having quintuplets."
"She is." Bella rolled her eyes and pulled out a picture of all the Baby's in Hanna's belly. Ashley's eyes went really wide. She picked up Bella and practically ran outside to confront her daughter.
