So I picked a few of my loyal readers and reviewers at random and asked them what they wanted to happen in the next few chapters.

I'd already begun writing this chapter and was running low on ideas when .Ashwee.11 replied to my message and helped me to go back and add to it and finally finish this, thank you.

As always enjoy :)

Chapter Eleven

Words Of Wisdom

Caleb was dreading facing his mother as he drove Harry over to her house, Harry was buzzing with excitement as she was taking him and his cousins paint balling, as a special treat before his birthday next week. When Caleb pulled up outside Harry unbuckled his seat belt, jumped out of the car and ran up the garden path, Caleb did the same without any enthusiasm.

By the time he reached the front door Claudia was there giving Harry a hug,

"How's my gorgeous grandson?" She asked Harry,

"Great," Harry beamed,

"He's really excited," Caleb spoke up. Claudia looked up at him then, an unimpressed look on her face,

"Harry why don't you go into the kitchen," she suggested, "Tomas and Michael are already here," she added. Harry nodded,

"Okay," he agreed, Caleb could just about hear him call,

"Bye Dad," as he ran inside.

"Don't start Mom," he said as she folded her arms over her chest,

"So you do know what you're doing is stupid if you know I'm not impressed," Claudia told him sternly,

"It doesn't matter what you think Mom..." he began,

"No your right…" she interrupted,
"It's what Harry will think," she told him,

"How confusing will this be for him? His parents together, then apart, and now together again but only for a bit of fun?" She began to rant,

"What makes you think this is just a bit of fun?" Caleb asked her outraged, Claudia scoffed,
"Have you failed to notice that Harry and Hanna are living in another man's house?" She said harshly,

"Of course it hasn't," Caleb shouted,

"I hate it," he added.
Claudia looked up and down the street not wanting the neighbours to notice,

"Come inside," she suggested,

"No," Caleb replied,

"Now your going to drop Harry off at Hanna's this evening and I will see you at his birthday party next week," he told her,

"And I'm supposed to just keep my mouth shut?" Claudia asked.

"Yes and forget that you know anything," he added.

"I can't do that," she told him outraged,

"I can't watch while you kid yourself into thinking that the three of you will be a happy family again. The break up was hard on both of you, I know that. And god knows I love Hanna for making you so happy before I found you again after all those years, but I won't have her giving you false hopes just to break your heart again."

Caleb was speechless.

"I know you care Mom…" he began,

"So course I care, I'm your mother, I'm Harry's grandmother," she defended herself.

"I know what I'm doing," Caleb told her before turning on his heel and walking down the garden path.

"I sure hope so," Claudia whispered.

Hanna was stood in the kitchen starring at the divorce papers in her hands, she and Caleb had registered for it months ago and it was finalised, but still Hanna had gone on letting Mark think that she and Caleb were still married. At first she wasn't sure why but now, with all their sneaking around she realised that she'd never let herself believe that she still had feelings for Caleb,

"Hanna the movies about to start," Mark said coming into the kitchen from the living room startling Hanna, she quickly put the papers back in the draw she hid them in and closed it,

"What were those?" Mark asked as Hanna opened the microwave door for the popcorn she had been heating before she was distracted,

"Instructions… for the microwave," she lied,

"I just wondered if we still had them, that's all." She took the bag of popcorn and began emptying it into a bag when Mark wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and began kissing her neck,
"You know we could skip the movie," he suggested. Hanna shook her head,

"No, Harry will be back soon," she told him leading him back into the living room to watch the movie.

The doorbell rang as the credits rolled and Hanna got up to answer it.

"Mom!" Harry cried when she opened the door, Hanna picked him up and held him on her hip,

"Hey baby boy," she greeted him kissing his cheek,

"How was paint balling?" She asked,

"Awesome!" He told her,

"And I won," he told her proudly. Hanna smiled and looked down the garden path to find Claudia walking towards the door,

"Can we talk?" She asked Hanna,

"Of course," Hanna replied putting Harry down,

"Harry why don't you go into the living room and pick a movie for us to watch with Mark," she suggested,

"Okay," Harry replied before turning to give his Grandmother a hug,

"Bye Granny," he said,

"I'll see you next weekend," she replied,

"For my party?" Harry beamed, Claudia nodded giving him another hug before he went inside. Harry ruffled his hair as he walked past her,

"Thank you for taking him Claudia it was…" Hanna began,

"You know why I want to talk to you Hanna, don't pretend that you don't," Claudia replied, Hanna sighed and nodded.

"What do you think your doing?" She began but didn't give Hanna the chance to reply,

"Sneaking around like a pair of love sick teenagers, you need to both grow up, you have a son to look after!"

Hanna closed the front door gently behind her so Harry and Mark wouldn't hear,

"I know that," Hanna replied,

"I love Harry more than anything in this world and I wouldn't let anyone or anything hurt him," she told Claudia.

"And what about my son?" She asked,
"Do you love him too?"

Hanna looked away for a moment and took a deep breath,

"Caleb was the first boy I ever loved," she told her honestly,

"He was… he is," she swallowed,

"All you need to know is that I wouldn't hurt him anymore than I would Harry," she finished.

Claudia nodded,

"I understand that what the two of you are going through is confusing but can I suggest you talk about what exactly this thing is," she told her.

Hanna nodded,

"We will," she told her.

Claudia nodded and hugged Hanna,
"I'm still hear for you Hanna, even after everything. You're the daughter I never had, you know that?" She asked,

Hanna nodded and hugged her back.
