Authors Note: Thank you for the sweet reviews and messages! You guys rock and are my inspiration for cranking out more Haleb goodness. Lol. I've been writing a lot lately because I'm suuuuuper depressed without my Tuesday PLL fix despite having a million other things I should be doing. How am I going to wait until December?! Alright guys, what do you want the genetic perfection of Haleb to be? Boy or girl and why? I could also use some name suggestions for both!
Chapter 14
As the two teen lovers walked back to the car, each of their heads swam with a million different emotions.
"Oh my gosh, you are getting so big." Hanna uttered in a baby tone looking at the fresh ultrasound photos while rubbing her distended bump.
"I love seeing all the changes that happen as the weeks go on." Caleb replied buckling his seatbelt. Hanna glanced at Caleb who was still apparently on a high after seeing his first born child do back flips in the love of his life's womb.
"What do you think it is Hanna?" he smiled starting up the car.
"Uhhhh, I'm thinking a boy? She hesitated in a long drawn out breath. "The girls all have me convinced."
"What do you want it to be?" Caleb asked taking Hanna's hand in his own.
"Oh." The blonde stammered out surprised. "Honestly, after all of our little scares, as long as your healthy baby Rivers, mommy will love you." Hanna smiled speaking in a baby voice again cradling her little pooch.
"What about you mister Rivers, what do you want?"
Caleb shook his head and let out a soft chuckle. "Little girl." He released giving Hanna a quick peck on the hand.
"What?" Hanna giggled in disbelief. "Don't all guys want sons to do sports, and watch woman's volleyball and do gross stuff like spit?"
"Yeah, that would be fun too." Caleb agreed nodding. "But I would love a little daddy's girl who looked just like their mom too."
Hanna choked up a bit with the words that just passed through Caleb's lips.
"I love you babe." She whispered leaning over the council and resting her head on her man's shoulder.
"I am dropping you off at Emily's house right?" Caleb questioned pulling into the Field's drive way.
"Yes, thanks babe." Hanna replied exiting her door.
"Oh, wait!" Hanna turned around remembering she had left the pictures from the scan on the dash. "The girls will kill me if I forget these!"
"Have fun trying on your gown." He yelled out the window as he was pulling away.
"I will." She smiled waving to her shaggy haired lover.
"Ah Han! I love you dress!" Emily squealed placing her palm on Hanna's bump.
"Let's hope I don't outgrow it in a week!" Hanna smirked resting both hands on her abdomen as well.
"Can you believe we are officially done with high school guys?" Aria beamed over at her friends. Aria had finished house arrested and with continuing online courses, Hanna and her were able to finish on time. Pure joy was seen on all the girls' faces as Spencer came barreling in the door with her arms full of black robes.
"How come I was the only one volunteered to drag all these here? The brains huffed tossing the gowns on the bed.
"Thank you Spencer." Emily giggled rummaging to find her size.
"We look like penguins." Aria laughed zipping up her gown to the top.
"Well that's perfect because I have the waddle down pat." Hanna stated in an overly sarcastic tone.
"Oh, here are everyone's cords!" Spencer remarked passing out the honorable pieces of garb. "Swimming, Em. Speech, drama and writing, Aria. Wait, there are two academic honors in here." Spencer puzzled looking down at the seemingly obvious mistake.
"That's mine." Hanna muttered taking the bright yellow chord from her dumbfounded friends' hand.
"Really?" Aria shockingly gasped.
"Yeah. I got really freaking bored at home all day." Hanna responded annoyed at her friends. Spencer helped the struggling girl straighten her stash and chords as she looked at herself in the full length mirror. "Look at you Han! I'm so proud of you!" Spencer smiled smitten at how much Hanna had accomplished in these past few months.
"Did you and Caleb make any final decisions?" Emily remarked slipping off the baggy gown and draping it over the foot board.
"Yeah, we both got into MSU in Montecito. Caleb is going to get a degree in software engineering and I am doing the Art's of Design program." She uttered not giving it much thought. "Wait you are starting in the fall already?!" Aria blurted out.
"Yeah, we are staying with Caleb's mom for probably the first year."
"Dude, you are due like 3 weeks before classes start!" Spencer hastily added
"I know! I know, it will be freaking hard." Hanna looked over seriously at the girl's shocked faces. "Ted got a preaching position at the church like four blocks from Caleb's moms! My mom offered to watch the baby while Caleb and I are in class."
"That's great." Aria sighed rubbing her hands on Hanna's belly. At first, Hanna hated anyone touching her but Caleb. The rounder she gets the more and more peoples hands gravitate to the adorable bulge. She's pretty use to it by now.
"Oh, my gosh! I just felt it kick!" Aria squeaked with excitement. Spencer and Emily quickly joined the two on the bed swatting each other's hands trying to feel the miracle of life having a dance party in their friend.
"Ah! I felt it too!" Spencer shouted as to win a competition with Aria.
"This is so cool Han." Emily's eyes twinkled as she felt the small squirms. Hanna then pulled out the new prints of baby Rivers
"What is it like?"
"Well, it's like I ate a watermelon. A watermelon that constantly made me barf, that now kicks me constantly and makes me pee my pants occasionally." All four girls burst into laughter. "It's not all terrible I guess, but seriously guys Wait!" the blonde spoke out in a steady tone. "All of you get on birth control! Now! Don't take any chances, not even you Emily." The round one winked at her gorgeous raven haired friend. "The other day Caleb and I watched this birth video. Your freaking vag has to stretch to ten centimeters! Ten! After it's over it looks like a freaking wizard's sleeve. Promise me you will all wait!"
The three girls had a look a complete fear and disgust wash over their faces. Emily took out her phone and started pressing numbers.
"What are you doing Emily?" Aria questioned.
"I am not taking any chances." She quickly replied as the other three girls flew into hysterical laughter.
