"Hanna!"
"What Mom!" Hanna called back as she watched Ted and Caleb chase Cody around the neighbourhood. "Why did Bella just casually explain to me that you're having quintuplets?" Ashley asked as Hanna's face dropped a mile. "Bella you weren't supposed to tell?" Hanna laughed.
"Oh shit." Bella said then covering her mouth because she knew it was bad to cuss. "Bella Jayde Rivers don't say that word!" Hanna yelled, her voice cracking as she tried not to laugh. "You're having quintuplets." Ashley interrupted and putting Bella down so she could run over to Caleb, as he and Ted had just caught Cody.
"Surprise." Hanna said throwing her hands up in the air.
"Oh my god congratulations." Ashley squealed in delight as she run up to Hanna and immediately hugged. "So you're not mad?" Hanna asked she tried to breathe because her mother was squeezing her really tight. "No I would never be mad...I mean you don't just plan on having quintuplets and plus I get five grandchildren at once." Ashley excitedly said.
"How do they see da babies Daddy?" Bella asked as she sat on Caleb's lap. "Well they have this special machine that looks inside Mommy's tummy." Caleb answered kissing the top of Bella's head. "Woah dat cool." Bella responded while sucking her thumb.
"It is cool." Hanna smiled at her daughter who was wearing a white dress with a denim jacket and brown boots. Her hair was braided on both sides with white bows and lastly she had a grey knitted scarf.
"Hanna Rivers." The nurse interrupted. "Let's go Belle Belle." Hanna said stealing her from Caleb. "Hi I'm Jade and I'll be performing your ultrasound today." She smiled as Hanna, Caleb and Bella walked into the room.
"No I Jade." Bella shook her head at the nurse. "Your names not Jade." Caleb laughed taking Bella back from Hanna and sitting down on the chair. "Yes I am Bella Jayde Rivers Dada." Bella said rolling her eyes at him. "Oh right." Caleb played along.
"Duh Daddy." Hanna laughed sitting down in the bed. "I sit dere Daddy." Bella suddenly announced getting off Caleb's lap and climbing on the chair next to him and spreading herself out on it. "You look very relaxed." Hanna laughed at her daughter as the nurse put the gel on her belly.
"Ok Babies A, B, C and D are around the normal size but Baby E looks significantly smaller than the others but still looks healthy. The reason Baby E is smaller is because when there are five babies all fighting for nutrition from you one is definitely gonna be smaller so I don't think that is going to be anything to worry about."
"How big are dey?" Bella interrupted. "Can you ball your hand up for me?" Jade asked as she scanned Hanna's stomach. "Lik dis." Bella said showing Jade her hand. "Yes that's how big they are." Bella's eyes got really wide. "Whoa dat small."
"Would you like to know the genders?" Jade asked smiling at the family of three that would soon become a family of eight. "Umm...could you write it down for us so we can have a gender reveal party?"
"Sure." Jade smiled grabbing a sticky note then folding it up and putting it in Hanna's purse.
"Hey Babe." Hanna said walking in the room and giving him a kiss on this lips. "I have good news and bad news." She continued. Caleb rolled his eyes, confirming in his head that Hanna had most likely spent the last ten minutes trying to think of good news to mask the bad.
"What's the bad news." He groaned trying not to disturb the sleeping toddler in his arms. "For the quints, it's gonna cost us twenty thousand dollars a year on diapers." Caleb sighed. "Well we're fucked-Wait what's the good news?"
Hanna smiled. "I can do math now." Caleb smiled back at her. "That's very good." He said patting her on the back as he rocked Bella back an forth as she went down for her nap. "Do you know how you're going to tell the girls about the quints yet?"
"Ummm I think I gonna text them when we goto New York next week and see how they react, I totally think they will all freak out." She said excitedly and little did Hanna know she was right. "Of course they'll freak out, it's not everyday your best friend tells you she's having quintuplets."
"Good point."
"Seriously I don't wanna go to New York." That shocked Caleb, Hanna loved New York, she was always very excited when they had the opportunity to go. After all it was the first place they lived together. "Since when do you not want to go to New York."
"Your going to be working the entire time and I can't do much so I'm gonna be stuck inside a hotel room with this one." Hanna said pointing at Bella. "I'm sorry, I'll try and get a few days off and as for Bella well...just don't let her watch Casper The Friendly Ghost again."
"Umm excuse me, you were the one who let her watch it." Hanna said shocked. "Well it doesn't matter who let her watch it the point is she did and we can't let her get another bruise on her forehead." Caleb laughed.
"Bella are you liking Casper?"
"Yes Daddy." The two year old said as she ate her chocolate chip cookie and cuddled with Cody as Caleb and Hanna did taxes at the table. The twenty six year olds were were deeply engrossed in thought when suddenly they heard a loud bang and a squeal from Bella.
They jumped up and saw Bella in front of the wall in their living room. "What are you doing?" Caleb loudly said as he scooped her up as Hanna grabbed an ice pack. "Go frew wall lik Caspa." Bella cried as her Daddy rocked her from side to side.
"You were trying to go through the wall like Casper?" Hanna asked as she placed the ice pack on her daughters forehead. "Yea." Bella cried as her parents tried to hold back laughter only their daughter could do something like that.
"Bella was so mad that week because she couldn't go to daycare." Hanna said a she picked up the sleeping baby from Caleb and placed Bella in her toddler bed. "She could of gone." Caleb whispered as they walked out of Bella's room.
"No she couldn't of, what would I have said of her teacher asked how she got that bruise, they are not going to believe she ran into a wall cause you let her watch Casper." Hanna laughed.
"Bella be careful of your siblings." Caleb warned as he watched Bella climb all over Hanna. "Babies?" Bella said with her high pitched voice. "Yes Babies." Hanna tiredly whispered back as she attempted to braid her two year olds hair which is an extremely difficult task if your child's name is Bella Rivers.
"Bella stop moving." Hanna murmured as stepped on her thighs. Bella had very long hair almost long enough to donate as Hanna and Caleb planned to do but that also meant her hair had to be braided every night or else it would be in her face when she slept and Bella definitely did not like hair in her face when she slept.
"Here." Caleb said turning Bella to face him so Hanna could braid her hair without any hassle. "Mommy and Daddy need you to help us with something very important Bella." Caleb said enthusiastically to keep the toddlers attention. "What." Bella squealed. She loved it when her parents asked for her help.
"Well since you're getting five new siblings we need some name ideas, could you give us any?" He asked as Bella smiled. "Umm if it boy call him Diego and if it girl call her Dora." The now tired two year old sleepily said. "You want to name them Diego and Dora?
"Yea." Bella nodded almost passing out with tiredness. "What do you hope the babies are?" He asked as Hanna almost finished Bella's braid. "Ummm girls." She yawned. Caleb laughed he knew he would go insane if he was the father of six girls and Hanna would go insane if she was the mother of five boys and Bella but then again they were having quintuplets so nothing seemed too out of the ordinary at this point.
"All done." Hanna smiled pulling Bella onto her lap and kissing her forehead. Bella was almost falling asleep then and there. "Ok definitely bedtime bedtime now." Caleb laughed scooping his baby girl up and causing her to erratically giggle. Hanna laughed she loved seeing them laugh at each other it was her favourite thing.
The reached Bella's room that was covered with pink items. Caleb pulled the covers off and placed Bella in them before recovering her. "Mommy, when da babies gonna get borned?" The two and a half year old asked.
"Ummm." Hanna stuttered. Bella was still so young and clearly didn't understand that her five younger siblings could easily be born in the short time of twelve weeks. Hanna and Caleb definitely didn't want their new babes to be born when Hanna was only five months pregnant. The couple hoped Hanna could make it to seven months but that was unlikely.
"Hopefully not too soon bubba." Caleb stepped in sensing his wife's discomfort. "Ok giv me kiss goodnight Momma n Dada?" Hanna and Caleb both smiled they would always kiss their baby goodnight night. "Of course we will."
After both her parents gave her a kiss and she gave them one back Bella suddenly sat up and grabbed Hanna's hand. "Mommy wait I gotta giv da babies a kiss." Bella whispered in her tired state. "Aww you're so sweet." Hanna said as Bella kissed her stomach five times.
As soon as she was done Bella feel backwards and went straight to sleep as soon as her head hit the pillow. "I guess we won't be reading her a story tonight." Caleb laughed grabbing Hanna's hand and leading her out of the room.
After putting Bella to sleep Hanna and Caleb stayed up and watched a few movies in bed. Caleb noticed Hanna was being quieter than usual. "Are you alright babe?" He asked moving some of her hair away from her face. That's when she broke down. "I can't do it." She suddenly blurted out looking like she was about to cry. "Do what?" He asked kissing her temple. "I can't handle five preemies." She cried.
"Hanna." He said using his thumb to wipe away her tears and force her to look at him. "You're amazing. You've handled three stalkers, two kidnappings, you and your mother going to jail, your Dad leaving, being bullied by your friend and you handle our crazy daughter on a daily basis, you can handle anything babe."
"Why do you always know the right thing to say." She smiled leaning her forehead against his. "I guess I just know you pretty well." He smiled back.
"I love you."
"I love you too."
