The Unbreakable
Chapter Seven:
Spencer awoke early as usual. Even before her alarm clock could even go off. It was six-thirty in the morning. Usually she woke up at seven. She had a rough day yesterday at work. She was stuck an extra two hours at the office scrambling to make ends meet with this renovation that a family was making sure would be finished by June.
She looked over at her husband. Toby usually liked sleeping in late so Spencer knew not to wake him. She yawned and climbed out of bed. She walked over to closet and decided on a pair of jeans, a tank-top and a cardigan. Spencer was going to meet Emily at the airport at eight. Emily would be taking Penelope with her and Spencer to go visit Hanna and the new baby whilst Micah took their luggage home.
"Spence?" Toby said sleepily.
Spencer climbed back onto the bed. "What?"
Toby yawned. "How come you're up so early?"
Spencer sat in a straddling position on top of Toby. "I'm excited to see Emily, and meet my new nephew."
Toby smiled. "Well, be a little less quiet. I'm trying to get a lot of sleep in for when we have the baby."
"Well, you have eight more months to catch up on sleep, babe," Spencer planted a soft kiss on his lips.
Toby tried to deepen the kiss but Spencer playfully pushed his face away. "I have to go eat now." Spencer giggled.
Toby laughed. "You know you want this."
Spencer licked her lips. "I do but l'm still sleepy from last night. I need some coffee if I want to stay up."
Toby pulled the comforter back over himself. "Go have your coffee then, babe."
Spencer kissed him on the lips and began to climb off of him. "Love you."
"You too." Toby said as Spencer closed the bedroom door.
Spencer yawned and walked down the hall to the staircase. She went downstairs and into the kitchen. She made a kettle of coffee and poured some into a travelers mug.
Spencer then put on her light grey trench coat and a pair of heeled boots. She went out the backdoor and got into her SUV.
She began to drive to Saint Paul Airport to pick up her friend.
Aria awoke to the sounds of her phone going off. She sat up and realized she was completely naked. She smiled as she remembered last night before shutting off her alarm. It was now seven in the morning and it was time for her to get the girls ready for school.
Aria yawned and rubbed her hazel eyes. She went over to her closet and chose her outfit for the day.
Ezra woke up slowly as Aria was selecting her clothes. She finally decided on a pair of black leggings, a white shirt, a pair of light brown boots and a scarf. She went into the en suite bathroom and put her hair up in a bun then put on a pair of her usual dangling earrings.
She looked at her watch. It was now seven-twenty and time for her to wake the girls up.
Aria watched as Bryn and Sophie sat at the kitchen table and ate their breakfast. It was now seven-forty. The girls were dressed and fed. Now it was time to do their hair.
"Honey?" Ezra came into the kitchen wearing his usual work clothes. A suit.
Aria stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips. "Morning, babe."
Ezra kissed her back. "Good morning."
"Ew!" Sophie exclaimed from the back of the kitchen. Causing Aria and Ezra to break into laughter.
Aria pulled away. "Sophie, just eat." She laughed.
"It's okay. My mommy and daddy kiss too." Bryn smiled.
Aria put their dirty dishes in the sink. "So, about your mommy and daddy...How about I drop you off after school? Mommy will be bringing Luca home tonight."
Bryn smiled. "Really?"
Aria nodded. "But for now, we have to do your hair. How do you want it?"
"I'll do Sophie's hair." Ezra said as he picked his daughter up and left the kitchen.
Aria held Bryn's hand as they went upstairs to the master bathroom to do her hair.
"I want a crown braid." Bryn told Aria.
Aria raised her eyebrows. For a five year old, Bryn knew a lot of braided hair styles. Hanna did Bryn's hair amazing every day and Aria wasn't even sure if she knew how to do some of them.
"I'm not sure I know how to," Aria's voice trailed off as she heard her cell phone ring. "Hold on."
Aria came back into the bathroom. She held the phone out to Bryn. "It's Mommy."
Bryn took the iPhone into her hand and held it to her ear.
"Mommy?"
"Hi, Bryn. How was your sleep, sweetheart?"
"Hi, Mommy. It was good. I miss you."
"I miss you too, baby. It's only been one night. I'll be home today and Auntie is bringing you to come see me after school."
"How's baby?"
"Luca is great. How are you?"
"I'm good. I'm doing my hair with Ari right now. Then I'm going to school."
"Oh. How are you going to wear your hair today, doll?"
"A crown braid."
"Wow! Great choice. But I have to feed Luca now, okay?"
"Okay. Love you, Mommy."
"I love you too, sweetie. Have a good day at school."
"Bye."
Bryn handed Aria her phone. "Mommy just said she loved me and to have a good day at school."
Aria smiled. "That's good. How about I finish your hair and we get you to school now?"
Bryn nodded and sat on the chair along the bathroom counter. Aria began to do her niece's hair.
"Bye, girls!" Aria called out from the car as she watched her daughter run into school with Bryn.
Sophie turned around and blew a kiss. "Bye, Mommy!"
"Love you both!" Aria yelled before driving away.
"We are now landing in Saint Paul National Airport." An announcer said.
Emily looked outside and watched as the plane slowly landed on the runway. Micah was holding Penelope as Emily was on her iPad. Spencer would be meeting her in baggage and then they were going to be going to the hospital to see Hanna. Emily felt bad about not being in town when Hanna gave birth. When Bryn was born, they were all there. Aria, Spencer, Emily, Ashley Marin, and Caleb.
Emily picked up Penelope's diaper bag as Micah held their carry on and Penelope. The small family exited the plane along with other people.
"Emily!" Spencer waved from a bench.
Emily held Penelope and walked over to Spencer. "Hey, I missed you!"
Spencer smiled. "You too, Em. How's my little niece?"
Emily handed Penelope to Spencer. "Nellie is doing great. How are you?"
Spencer began to rock the small infant. "That's good. I'm doing alright. How are you?"
Emily looked behind her and saw Micah coming over with their luggage. She turned back to Spencer. "Micah and I are doing okay. Did you see the little guy yet?" Emily asked, referring to Hanna's newborn son.
Spencer shook her head in response. Spencer licked her lips when she seen Micah come over. "Hi, Micah."
Micah nodded. "Spencer,"
"So, I'll see you at home later?" Emily said as she finished helping her husband load their luggage into the trunk of his black Audi.
Micah closed the trunk. "Yeah, I guess. Tell Hanna I said hi."
Emily nodded as Micah walked over to the drivers side of the black car. He turned around. "Have fun, Emily."
Emily smiled and walked over to him. "When I get home, we'll all go out to do something. Me, you, Nellie."
Micah kissed Emily's forehead softly. "It's okay. I'll probably go to the office and work for the rest of the day. I'll be home by dinner."
Emily looked at Micah. They used to be in such a great place in their marriage two weeks ago. They were happy. They weren't arguing as much as they were now. And more importantly, they were in love. Emily was surprised at how fast they were able to lose that spark in their marriage. She really questioned how it was so easy to fall out of love.
"What's up with you and Micah?" Spencer asked as she closed the back door of her SUV. They were now going to be visiting Hanna at the hospital.
Emily got into the passengers seat of Spencer's SUV. "Uh, nothing." She answered.
Spencer buckled herself in and began to back out of the airport parking space. "It seems like somethings up. You are usually holding hands and being all lovey dovey."
Emily laughed. "I think we're past that phase now."
Spencer raised her eyebrows. "That was just two weeks ago, Emily. Can you please tell me what's going on?"
Emily nodded. "Fine. We haven't exactly done anything since before Penelope was born."
"Wait...didn't you get the okay like almost a month ago?"
"Three weeks." Emily corrected.
"Why haven't you done anything?" Spencer asked.
"I just haven't really felt like it lately. Usually I'd jump at the opportunity. I just don't feel up to it at all." Emily confessed.
"It's just a little patch, Emily. Toby and I have had a lot of those in our nine years of marriage." Spencer smiled.
"Micah and I have only been married for less than two years."
Spencer stared straight ahead onto the road and then back at Emily. "Toby and I fought like a week after we got married. It's normal, sweetie."
Hanna stared down at Luca. He was currently sucking on her breast. Caleb was sleeping on the arm chair in the corner of the hospital room. It was now after nine and Hanna was enjoying the sound of her newborn son eating.
"Han?" Caleb said as he stretched.
Hanna looked at him. She smiled. "Yeah?"
"Do you want anything from the cafeteria?" Caleb asked. "And they probably don't have pouched eggs, babe,"
Hanna giggled. "Just get me a salad or something. Thanks."
Caleb kissed her on the forehead and kissed his son. "Love you, guys."
Hanna smiled. "We love you too, Daddy."
Caleb laughed. "I'll be back in ten minutes."
Hanna changed her son's diaper and swaddled him in a blanket. She then placed him back in his bassinet and laid back on her bed. She was happy where her life was right now. Her high school sweetheart was her husband, she had two beautiful kids, she had her three best friends by her side this whole time. She was so thankful for everything she had.
"Hanna?" Emily said as she pushed Penelope's stroller into the hospital room.
Spencer followed behind her. "Hey, new Mommy!"
"Emily, Spencer!" Hanna smiled and put down her fashion magazine.
Emily gave Hanna a big hug. So did Spencer.
"Can I hold him? He's so cute." Emily said as she stared at the infant sleeping in the bassinet.
"Of course," Hanna squirted some hand sanitizer on Emily's hands.
Emily picked Luca up. "He's cuter than all the photos you sent us!"
"Spence, hand me Nellie. I wanna hold her." Hanna held her arms out.
Spencer took Emily's daughter out of her car seat and handed her to Hanna.
"Haven't seen her for a week." Hanna smiled as she looked down at Penelope.
Spencer sat down on the bed. "So, how was the delivery?"
Hanna shrugged. "Wasn't that bad."
Caleb came into the hospital room. He smiled when he seen Hanna's friends were sitting on the bed with her. He looked down at the two salads he had in his hands. "I guess I should've gotten more salads?"
"Caleb, hey!" Emily smiled.
"Hi, Caleb." Spencer smiled.
"Hey, guys. So what do you think of him?" Caleb laughed.
"He's the cutest little boy ever!" Emily said as she looked down at Luca.
"We did a good job, huh?" Hanna laughed.
"You sure did." Spencer said.
"I'd be glad to do it again." Caleb winked.
"Oh no." Hanna joked.
"Are you planning on having more kids?" Spencer asked.
"We'll have another one if it's meant to be. We shouldn't even be thinking about it this soon. I just gave birth yesterday." Hanna laughed.
Caleb nodded. "We're just going to let nature take it's path."
"Mommy!" Bryn said coming into the hospital room.
Hanna smiled. "Hi, sweetie. How was school?"
Bryn climbed onto the bed. "Good. We learned about addition."
Hanna ruffled her daughters hair as she cuddled next to her. "I missed you, angel."
"Me too, Momma." Bryn smiled.
"So, we're going home in a few hours. How was your stay at Auntie's?" Hanna asked.
"Before we went home, we went to McDonalds and she bought me a happy meal, Mommy!" Bryn exclaimed before continuing. "And then on the way to school this morning we went and got doughnuts. Me, Sophie and Aunt Ari."
Hanna looked up at Aria. "Sounds like you did a great job."
Aria smiled. "It was no problem."
"Mrs. Rivers?" A nurse said coming into the hospital room.
Hanna looked up. "Yes, Glenda?"
Glenda smiled and came over. "You're able to go home now. Good luck."
Hanna smiled at Caleb. He was currently putting together Luca's white orbit G2 stroller. Caleb as usual, waited til the last minute to buy a stroller.
"Mommy, can we wear these?" Bryn asked as she pulled out an outfit from Luca's diaper bag.
"Yes. Of course, angel." Hanna smiled.
Bryn came over and helped her mother get the baby ready.
"You ready, Han?" Caleb asked as he finished strapping Luca into his car seat.
Hanna nodded as she put on a long light brown cardigan. She was wearing a pair of black yoga pants, ugg boots and a black tanktop. "I'm ready."
Aria closed the front door behind her. "Ezra? Sophie?"
Ezra appeared in the front hallway. He gave his usual boyish smile. "Hey, Aria."
Aria smiled and went over to him. "How was Sophie?"
Ezra kissed Aria on the lips. "She was good. She's sleeping now."
Aria nodded. "How about a glass of wine?"
Ezra smiled. "Yeah, and then maybe we can watch a movie."
Ezra and Aria always loved watching old movies. Preferably black and white movies. That was one of the things they had in common. They also loved literature a lot and loved to write.
"I'd like that, a lot. But can I go shower first?" Aria asked.
Ezra bit his lip. "Only if I can join you?"
Aria giggled and wrapped her arms around him. "Of course you can."
"They all lived happily ever after," Hanna finished reading Cinderella to her daughter.
She glanced down and noticed that Bryn was already asleep. Hanna ruffled her daughter's hair one last time. "I love you."
She climbed out of the bed and placed the book on the bookshelf in Bryn's bedroom. Hanna loved reading to her daughter before she went to sleep. Ashley used to read to Hanna a lot when she was growing up and Hanna wanted to share that bond with her daughter.
She shut the light switch off and was about to close the door when Bryn said. "Mommy?"
Hanna looked at her daughter. "Yes, angel?"
"I love you."
Hanna blew a kiss. "I love you too."
She closed the door and walked across the hall to the master bedroom.
Caleb was feeding Luca a bottle when Hanna wobbled into the master bedroom.
"Is she asleep?" Caleb asked.
Hanna nodded as she slowly sat down next to Caleb. "Yeah, she is."
Luca stopped sucking on the bottle so Caleb put the bottle down. "I just changed Luca and fed him. I'll wake up tonight to take care of him."
"No, babe. I can do it." Hanna assured Caleb.
Caleb kissed her on the cheek softly. "I got it. You need some sleep, Hanna."
Hanna smiled as Caleb placed Luca in the bassinet next to his side of the bed.
He shut his lamp off and then laid back down.
Hanna cuddled next to him. "How did we get so lucky?"
Caleb wrapped his arms around her. "What do you mean?" He asked.
"We have two amazing kids. We have this wonderful house. We have amazing jobs.." Hanna began.
"And each other," Caleb added.
"Exactly. How did we get so lucky?" Hanna asked softly.
"It was fate, babe. Now," Caleb kissed her head. "Get some sleep."
"Love you." Hanna said before planting a kiss on his bare chest.
"You too."
