One Big Happy Family
Previously:
"Melissa's alive." Veronica whispered.
"I think Jessica's alive." Ali stated.
"What?" We all chorused.
"I think that she's hiding out with Melissa, Ian, and all of -A's victims." Ali finished.
"That's-" Hanna began.
"-brilliant." Spencer marveled.
"I was going to say crazy, but continue." Hanna snapped at her.
"Think about it. -A wants everyone to expect that these people are dead. They really aren't, but -A hurt them, tortured them. Some escaped, some are afraid, and some didn't. Mona and Maya escaped, Jessica, Ian, and Melissa are afraid, or wanna keep safe, and well I don't know." Spencer finished.
"This is the key to their hideout." Spencer declared.
Ch 21
Spencer POV:
"Thank you for the lasagna Pam, it was amazing." I told her, clearing my plate.
"Anytime Spencer." She told me with a smile.
"Cake cake cake!" The kids chanted.
"We just ate kiddos." Em told them.
"Please!" They chorused.
"Let your tummy's settle. Auntie Em's doing you a favor and saving you from having a belly ache." Aria told them.
They nodded, "Okay Auntie Aria."
"Good." Aria told them.
"Now go have fun!" She exclaimed, pressing kisses to their foreheads.
"Cooties!" Mikey exclaimed.
"I have no such thing." Aria said with a dramatic gasp and laughed.
"Go have fun, we'll call when it's cake time." I told them.
The kids ran outside and played with the soccer ball.
"They're so demanding sometimes." Hanna sighed.
"They're three." Pam shrugged.
"Much like you were." Ashley told Hanna with a smile.
"Were? She still is." Caleb insisted.
"Hey." Hanna scolded him and gave him a light hit.
"Be careful tonight, okay? All of you." Caleb asked.
"We will." The girls and I chorused.
"Stay for cake?" Toby asked.
"Okay." I nodded.
"How about we play a game?" Em asked.
"Sure!" I exclaimed.
Em headed towards her game closet, and came back with a stack of games.
"Here take one." Em told me.
I grabbed the box and opened it up.
I dropped the box and my hands flew to my face.
"What?" Em asked, running over.
Tears began to run from my eyes of the sight of this game.
Em gasped.
"What is it?" Ella asked.
"It's the game we played in the dollhouse." I stated with a shiver.
"How did that show up here?" Ali asked.
"-A was in the house." Em stated.
Em ran upstairs.
"Em! Wait!" Ali called.
Ali raced after Em, and I picked up a note attached to the game pieces.
"Piece by piece, you'll come back to me. -A." I stated.
A shiver went down my spine and I looked up at the girls.
"Do you know what this means?" I asked.
"We're going back to the dollhouse." Aria shivered.
"But it was destroyed." Hanna told us.
"-A went into the house to see every feature of the new bedrooms. -A is building or already built the new dollhouse for us. They're just waiting for us to come." I finished.
"We won't let -A get you guys." Ezra stated.
"It could be when we're at work, you guys can't prevent it." Aria sighed.
"But we will when we can." Toby stated.
Em came back downstairs with Ali, wiping her eyes.
"Are you okay Em?" Aria asked her.
She nodded.
"Cake!" The kids cheered, running inside.
"Cake it is!" Em grinned.
Em cut another sliver of cake for the kids, and they sprinkled their candy on top of it.
"You just had this earlier though!" Ezra exclaimed.
"What the kids want, the kids get." Caleb daid with a shrug.
I checked my watch, it was 7:30.
"We'll be back." I announced, grabbing my coat, and heading out the door.
We piled into my car and I passed Aria the address.
"Enter this into my phone please." I told her.
Soon enough, my GPS was giving me instructions to the place.
"Are you ready?" I asked everyone.
"Ready to see my mom?" Hanna asked.
"No. But I need some answers." Hanna added.
"Speaking for everyone, I don't think any of us are ready. I don't think Maya told us the truth, I think she knows where Mrs. D is." Em finished.
"We'll find out." Ali said.
"We have two hours to go." Aria said with a sigh.
"This better be worth it." Hanna sighed.
We headed off, and I watched as our neighborhood got smaller and smaller in the distance.
"Seeing YOUR mom, seems worth it to me." Em pointed out.
"You need answers Han." Aria chipped in.
"We all need answers." I decided.
"I want to know if Melissa's alive and why the hell she left her kids with me." I finished.
"Well, we're gonna find out." Ali concluded.
Two hours later
Hanna's POV
"We're here." I whispered.
"Well, not quite, we're parking here so no one's concerned. of suspicious activity." Spencer corrected me.
I rolled my eyes and hopped out of the car, leaving the door open behind me.
Once all five of us were out of the car, we linked arms, and walked down the street.
We went down a dark alley, to a small house
"Talk about creepy." Em said with a shudder.
"We've been through worse." Aria pointed out with a shrug.
We ran to the doorway, and stood there, looking at each other.
"Who's going to open it?" I asked.
"Not me." Ali whispered.
"Not it." Aria added.
"Don't look at me." Em stated throwing her hands up.
"Babies." Spencer frowned, gripping the doorknob and pushing.
"It's not opening." She stated.
"Here." I said, giving her my bobby pin.
Spencer quickly picked the lock, and she pushed the door open.
Spencer stepped inside, turning around, looking at us.
"What?" She asked.
"We're not going first." We chorused.
Spencer sighed and continued to walk in, the four of us behind her.
We looked around the abandoned home, seeing nothing.
"Basement." Spencer said.
"What?" I asked her.
"Let's go to the basement." Spencer stated.
We headed downstairs, this time the five of us with our arms linked.
We soon discovered that we couldn't all fit down the basement stairs.
When we reached a doorway, there was a small electronic pad requesting a password.
"Password?" It asked.
"Password?" Em asked.
"Who wants to go first?" I asked everyone.
"I know one." Spencer decided.
She stepped up, pressing letters and numbers into the screen.
"Incorrect. Two tries remaining." The voice replied.
"Let's figure this out before someone tries again too soon." I suggested.
"Alright, so it could be anything." Aria stated the obvious.
"Think of something relating to Mrs. D." Em suggested.
"I know one." I said, raising my hand.
I stepped up to the screen, and typed in my middle name.
"Correct." The voice blared.
"Wow." Spencer whispered.
The door flew open, and we stepped inside a hallway to find another door.
"Password?" The pad asked.
I typed in my middle name again.
"Incorrect." The voice announced.
"Got it." Spencer decided.
Spencer stepped forward, and typed in Taylor.
"Correct." It responded, opening the door.
"Ian." Spencer whispered.
There was one other door with a passcode thing.
"Let's put all of the death dates together." Spencer suggested.
She whipped out her phone, pulling up her phone.
"Let's do them in order of who died first to last." Em added.
"Ian first." Spencer added.
"Maya." Em added.
"Mom." I whispered.
"Got them." Spence finished.
"Who else could be hiding out here?" Spencer asked.
"Garrett." Aria whispered.
Spencer added Garrett's death date in between Maya's and Mrs. D's.
Ali typed in the numbers, and the door opened.
We walked through the door, linking arms to reveal different doors.
"Which door?" I asked.
"Left one." Aria decided.
We headed into the first door on the left, to reveal Melissa, sitting down, reading a magazine.
"Melissa." Spencer whispered.22222222222222222222222222222222222
"I knew you would find me." She murmured, standing up.
"We need answers." I growled.
Melissa nodded, rising from her seat.
"Jessica? Ian? Garrett?" Melissa called.
The doors opened, revealing each of the figures.
"Hanna." Jessica stated.
"Mom." I returned, trying out the word.
"You know?" She asked me.
I nodded, "I do."
"May I?" Ms. D asked me, wiping her eyes, stepping towards me, and holding out her arms.
I nodded.
Tears ran from Ms. D's eyes as she wrapped her arms around me.
"My Hanna." She cooed, squeezing my shoulders.
Ali looked at me with raised eyebrows and she shrugged.
"Alison." Ms. D stated.
"What a way to greet me." Ali muttered, earning a glare from Ms. D.
"Do you know how pissed I am at you?" Spencer asked Melissa.
"You left me with YOUR kids. I had to tell them that YOU were dead. I had to explain that their dad is in PRISON!" Spencer yelled throwing up her hands.
Melissa pursed her lips as tears ran from her eyes.
"Spence-" She began.
"No Melissa. No." Spencer growled.
"Spence, please." She begged.
"I need to explain." She pleaded.
"Let her." Aria whispered, reaching out her hand.
Aria nodded her sympathy as Melissa tore her gaze from Aria and onto Spencer.
"I do believe we all have questions." I clarified.
"Come on, sit down." Ms. D said, leading us downstairs to a living room.
Garrett and Ian followed, closely behind Melissa.
Ian kissed Melissa's cheek from behind.
"What the hell?" Spencer asked.
"He tried to murder me. He tried to murder me Melissa!" Spencer yelled.
"God." She sighed.
Melissa remained silent and the five girls and I sat down on a couch across from the four others.
"Who wants to go first?" Garrett asked us all.
"Let's talk about Melissa." I stated, resolving the problem.
Melissa nodded, stood up, and looked at each of us.
"Did you know that Wren's in prison?" Spencer blurted.
"Yes." Melissa whispered.
"I saw in the paper." She added.
"Why didn't you do anything about it?" Spencer demanded.
Melissa looked at each of her other 'roommates.'
"Spencer, Wren and I were never married." Melissa whispered.
"WHAT?" Spence asked.
"We never did." She repeated.
"I know but-" She trailed off.
"You." Spencer growled, standing up and pointing at Ian.
"You're the father." She hissed.
"You and Wren didn't want to get married, but why? Oh, and this scumbag has to screw everything up, doesn't he? My nieces and nephews think that YOU are dead. They think that WREN is their father. But no? Haha. No. I have to explain to them that 'Hey, your Daddy isn't really your daddy.' Fun, right?" Spencer fumed.
"Wren and I didn't want to commit." Melissa stated.
Spencer sighed and sat back down, trying to remain calm.
I wrapped my arms around her, holding onto her tight, and looking up at Melissa.
"You should be ashamed of yourself. Spencer put all she had into these kids, heck she even got them their own bedrooms. She fed them. Took care of them. Plus, her bills have nearly tripled, and she's still strong." I sneered.
"You don't deserve her." Ali hissed at Melissa.
"Your kids don't deserve you." She added.
"And you're such a great mother yourself? I'm sure Sarah hates you." Melissa sneered.
"That's it." Em said, throwing herself at Melissa.
"No one. No one. Offends MY family." Emily whispered.
Melissa pulled back, fear shaking in her eyes.
"Em." Ali murmured, grabbing her arm.
Em turned around, Melissa still in her grasp to Ali.
"Didn't you hear what she said to you?" Em asked Ali in disbelief.
"It's not worth it." Ali murmured.
I pulled Em off of Melissa and sat her down next to me on the couch.
"It's okay Em." I whispered, squeezing her hand.
"Are you going to have custody of the kids?" Spencer asked her.
Melissa hesitated, and looked around.
"Spencer. We aren't coming back to Rosewood." Melissa stated.
"Why not?" Aria asked, speaking up.
"It isn't safe for us, or the baby." Ian told us.
"You've gotta be kidding me." Spencer groaned.
"Are you serious Melissa? Leaving YOUR kids for another husband and another kid. You make me sick." Spencer hissed.
"Actually, it isn't Melissa's baby." A voice spoke up.
We all looked towards the doorway to see CeCe Drake with a baby in her arms, and Wilden next to her.
"How did you escape prison?" I asked.
"He broke me out." CeCe shrugged, nudging Wilden and letting a laugh escape.
CeCe waltzed through the room and sat down with Wilden on a rocking chair.
"You've got to be kidding me." I groaned.
"You're back too?" I asked him.
"Not just me." CeCe whispered.
"Is she coming back soon?" Garrett asked CeCe.
CeCe shrugged, "She might, she might not. She's still afraid. "
"Okay." Garrett replied.
"Who?" I asked.
The two exchanged a glance, remaining silent.
"I can't even deal with you people." I sighed, throwing up my hands.
"Someone's dramatic." CeCe noted.
"It's just the pregnancy hormones talking." Ali told her.
Ali rose from the couch and wrapped her arms around CeCe.
"I've missed you." Ali whispered.
"Wait… hold up." Em began.
"You two are…"Em trailed off.
"Friends?" Ali finished.
"Still are, we never weren't." CeCe shrugged.
"Why did you come back to Rosewood?" Em asked.
"I wanted a tease." CeCe grinned.
"CeCe was never trouble. She never wanted to hurt us. It was just all an act." Spencer figured out.
"Correct. It was just to shake you up." CeCe smiled.
"I knew you girls were smart!" CeCe grinned with a clap of her hands.
At that, the baby began to cry, and CeCe stood up to leave the room/
"Tell them everything. They've earned it." CeCe commanded and left the room.
"You heard CeCe. Tell us.. everything. " I added.
Garrett, Wilden, Jessica, Ian, and Melissa each looked at each other.
"Where should we start?" Wilden asked.
"I know where." Melissa decided.
"The night of Alison's death." She finished.
Melissa's POV:
Flashback:
"I know Alison's in the room Ian. Promise me that you won't see her again." I revealed.
"Alison means nothing to me, don't worry." Ian insisted, pressing a kiss to my forehead.
I nodded and kissed him back.
…..
Hours later:
"CeCe, you have to get those videos back from Ali." I begged her.
"Melissa-" CeCe began.
"CeCe it's important. I need them back. Some things on there are dangerous for Alison to see." I begged.
"I'll do it." CeCe nodded.
"Thank you." I nodded.
"Meet me back at the place late tonight." CeCe whispered.
"I will." I nodded.
I exited the backyard and drove off to Garrett's house.
"Is she getting the videos?" Garrett asked.
I nodded, "She said she will."
"Good." He stated.
"Alison's too powerful, everything we did, her little friends would know too." He sighed.
"She could do bad things with those videos, Garrett. Very bad things." I finished.
"She could leak them to the whole school. Ian could be hurt. You could be hurt, I could be hurt, and so could CeCe." Garrett agreed.
"Even Wilden." I murmured.
"Alison's tricky, schemy, it's what she does. She manipulates people to get her way. I'd hate to see my sister get hurt from her." I described.
"One day, the bitch'll be dead. We won't have to worry about her anymore." Garrett told me with a soft smile.
"Everything'll go back to normal?" He asked.
"You know Rosewood, it's incapable of being normal." I insisted.
"Garrett? Are you up there?" A voice asked.
"Jenna." I whispered.
"We're here Jenna." Garrett called.
Jenna jogged upstairs and came into the room.
"How about I get us some coffees?" Garrett asked.
"Sounds great." Jenna smiled.
Garrett left the room and headed downstairs.
"Does anyone know your secret?" I asked her.
"Just you and Garrett." She shrugged, wiping her brown eyes.
"Good, let's keep it that way. Alison can't know." I decided.
"It must be so hard for you." I whispered.
"It really is." Jenna agreed.
I looked down at my phone, "I've gotta get going, my mom made me promise that I'll check on the girls."
"Alright." Jenna told me.
"Be careful." Jenna called.
"I will." I called over my shoulder, heading downstairs.
Garrett came towards me with the coffees as I turned the knob.
"Sorry Garrett, I've gotta run. Another time." I told him.
I wrapped my arms around him in a hug goodbye.
"Be safe." He told me.
"I will." I insisted, and headed outside, down his driveway, and into my car.
I drove off and headed back to the Hastings household.
I parked in the driveway and walked over to the barn.
Outside of the barn, I saw Alison.
Her head was bloody, really bloody.
Spencer had been having some problems lately, and she had some anger towards Alison.
So, I buried her.
I didn't want Spencer to take the fall for this murder.
I smothered dirt all over this dead little girl so no one could find her.
I ran and left, never looking back.
End of Flashback
"You knew that Jenna was blind?" Spencer asked me.
I nodded, "I did. Garrett and I were the only ones who knew."
"Why would she just let the blame be on Toby?" I asked.
"Toby wasn't," I paused for a cringe, "satisfying her anymore."
"She didn't care about him. She never did. She was using him." Spence sighed.
"Poor Toby." I murmured.
"My husband was hurt by her. I could never forgive her." Spencer stated firmly.
"I know and we don't expect you too." I assured her, speaking for everyone.
Aria held onto Spencer's arm tightly, as a way of showing protection.
"How are the kids?" I asked Spencer.
"They're holding up. Bethany misses you." Spencer whispered.
"I miss them too." I told her.
"Than come back." Spencer murmured, coming towards me, and taking my hands.
"Come back to Rosewood and take your kids back to England. Where they belong." Spencer pleaded.
"I can't." I whispered.
"Why not?" Spencer asked, her smile dropping into a frown.
"Is is because of him?" She asked, pointing to Ian.
"No, sweetheart. It isn't his fault." I told her soothingly.
"Than who's is it?" Spencer asked.
"-A's." CeCe stated, coming back into the room, without her baby.
"How do you guys know?" Aria asked us.
"We've always known darling." Jessica revealed.
"How?" Ali asked.
Jessica sighed, "From the day that Alison DiLaurentis came into the world, and once she gained her personality, I knew she was going to be trouble. The way that she spoke and mesmerized people into loving her, it was all magical. I knew that someone wouldn't like it. I went through Ali's room and picked up one of her dolls. The hatch in the back of it was slightly open, and I pulled on it out of curiosity. Once the note came out, I knew that Alison was being watched. I, of course, asked Veronica, along with Melissa and the other moms if they had noticed anything." Of course, everyone said no. But then Melissa came to my house the other day."
I continued, "I knew about -A. I saw the anonymous text on Spencer's phone. Jessica and I followed you guys everywhere, we knew about -A."
Jessica added, "-A soon knew about us too. Melissa and I stopped meeting and I soon stayed in my house as much as possible. -A threatened us that if we kept looking, we wouldn't see another day. Well, of course after years, I became curious. I needed to know more. -A found me. -A took a swing at me, and buried me. I was faking it. I was never really dead. I started to escape from the ground, ran, and found Ian along with Garrett at the place. They sent me a text to meet them there, and met me at the entranceway of this abandoned house."
"Wow." Hanna remarked.
"I knew about it, where they were hiding out. I sent groceries for years, and even took everyone out of the house, out of the country to live for a little while." I added.
"Did Wren know?" Spencer asked.
I replied, "He followed me alot. We have a backup house in England like this one, in case of emergencies."
"He never really knew why, just that I was up to something." I shrugged.
"I never loved Wren, I've always loved Ian." I added.
"I hate to say it, but I feel bad for Wren." Spencer sighed.
"Me too." The girls chorused.
"I do too, but I did what had to be done. I've always done everything for your safety Spencer, always." I insisted.
"Why can't you go back to Rosewood?" Em asked.
"-A's still out there. If -A knows that we're alive...bad things could happen." Garrett answered.
Ian nodded in agreement, "This time, we'll die for real."
"I don't want to see you guys go." Spencer whispered.
"You don't have to, it's okay." I assured her, wrapping my arms around her.
"We'll be here." I added.
"Promise?" Spencer asked.
I nodded, "Promise."
"Thank you Melissa." Aria whispered.
"For what?" I asked.
"Keeping us safe." Em answered.
"Your welcome." I told the girls.
"How are our husbands going to react to this?" Spencer asked with a chuckle.
"They won't." Ian stated.
"They can't know, it isn't safe." Jessica added.
"But-" Hanna began.
"No buts, you tell your husbands, boom, automatic death." CeCe finished.
"Promise me Spencer. Promise me that you won't tell Toby." I stated.
"All of you. Promise me." I added.
"Promise me that you won't tell Toby." I repeated.
"I-I don't know if I can do that." Spencer whispered.
"Spencer please." I stated.
"Melissa, I can't keep this a secret from Toby." Spencer stated.
"If you can't, you and your friends have to leave." Garrett stated.
"But-" Spencer began.
"Spencer, I need answers." Hanna pleaded.
Spencer began having a mental battle, should she or should she not?
"Okay." Spencer stated.
"Okay what?" Ian asked.
Spencer rolled her eyes, "I won't tell Toby."
"Excellent." CeCe stated.
"Excellent." Wilden echoed.
"Why did you give me up?" Hanna asked Jessica, breaking the tension in the room.
Jessica DiLaurentis's POV:
My heart pounded as I processed the words that came out of my daughter's mouth.
I began to tell the story as follows:
…
Flashback
"Mrs. DiLaurentis, it appears that you are having twins." The doctor told me.
"Twins?" I asked.
"Twins." Kenneth echoed.
"Would you like to know the gender?" The doctor asked.
She corrected, "I mean genders."
"Yes!" I cheered.
"Ms. DiLaurentis, I am pleased to tell you that you are expecting twin girls." The doctor finished.
"Yes!" I exclaimed.
"Congratulations." She told us, squeezing our shoulders.
"Wow. Twins." Ken stated grinning.
I nodded, "Twins." I echoed.
"And our first girls." He added.
"Charles won't be happy." I told him with a sigh.
"We'll have to break the news." Ken shrugged.
We walked outside and hopped into the car, driving home.
"We'll have to paint the nursery. The girls will be best friends! I can't wait!"I grinned.
"We have to find space for two babies." Ken told me.
"But we already have the nursery-" I began.
"But two babies in one room, both crying and screaming?" Ken interrupted.
"Jason and Charlie won't be happy." He added.
"Good point." I shrugged.
We pulled up into the driveway, and opened the door to see Ashley and Tom Marin with the kids.
"Thanks for watching them for me Ash." I told her, giving my best friend a hug.
"Anytime." She grinned.
"Jason, Charles." I beckoned them.
"Yes mom?" Jason asked.
"I'm pleased to tell you boys that I'll be expecting two girls." I announced.
"Girls?" Charles asked.
"Two girls." I repeated.
"I hate you! You bitch!" Charles yelled, storming out of the house.
"What did he just call me?" I asked Ken, tears welling up in my eyes.
"Where did he learn that?" I asked Ken.
"I have no idea. I'll find him." Ken assured me, running after Charles.
I let the tears drip down my face.
"Congrats mom, I'm really excited to have little sisters!" Jason beamed.
"Thank you honey." I told him, giving him a squeeze on his shoulder.
"I'm so sorry you had to see that." I told Ashley and Tom.
"No, no it's okay." Tom assured me.
"I'm sorry that that happened." Ashley whispered.
"It's not your fault." I pointed out with a sniffle.
"Well, I'm sure you both have dinner plans, go on. Thanks again." I told them.
Tom nodded leading Ashley out of the house.
Ashley turned back, leaving a small smile at Jason, and then she left.
Ken came back into the house, breathless.
"He-He-" Ken began.
"Where's Charles?" I demanded.
"He's gone Jess." Ken whispered.
"What do you mean he's gone?" I asked.
"He's no where in sight. The neighbors haven't seen him, I looked up and down the streets." Ken explained.
"You need to file a police report." I stated.
"Jess-" Ken began.
"Now!" I wailed, tears flowing from my eyes.
"Jason, go upstairs bud." Ken told him.
Jason ran upstairs and shut his bedroom door behind him.
Ken excused himself and dialed the Rosewood PD.
I leaned back against the wall and sobbed.
What felt like days later, the Rosewood PD showed up.
"Ms. and Mr. DiLaurentis?" He asked.
"Yes, that's us." I declared.
"I"m so sorry this had to happen to your family." The officer stated.
"Me too." I agreed.
"How did this happen?" The officer asked.
"Charles has always wanted to be a girl, ever since he was little. When I told him that I was expecting girls earlier, he freaked out, called me a bitch, and ran out." I explained.
"We'll try our best to find him." The officer nodded.
"Could I have a picture of him and his birth certificate? We'll bring it back, I promise." The other officer asked.
"Of course." Ken said, running up to grab the certificate.
I handed them Charles' school picture and Ken came back with the birth certificate, and the officers left.
End of Flashback
"What happened to Charles?" Hanna asked.
"We never saw him, ever again." I whispered.
"Wow." Ali whispered.
"Wow indeed." I agreed.
"What about me?" Hanna asked.
Flashback
I had invited Ashley and Tom over for dinner, since Ken and I had news for them.
As we finished our meal, I stood up with Ken.
"What's going on?" Ashley asked.
"We have something to tell you." I stated, grinning at Ken.
"We know how you've always wanted kids, so we want to give one to you." I declared.
"I can't accept this." Ashley stated.
"Please, the kid would just remind us of Charles." I begged.
"Jessica please." Tom begged.
"No, Ashley. I NEED you to take this kid. You've always wanted one. You deserve it." I pleaded.
"Jessica-" Ashley began.
"We can always have more kids, you can't." Ken added.
"Okay, alright." Ashley concluded.
"Thank you." Ashley told us with a grin.
"Your welcome. We'll tell you as soon as the babies are born." I nodded.
End of Flashback
"So you just gave me up? Just like that?" Hanna asked me.
"Ashley's always wanted kids." I stated.
"I know but.." Hanna trailed off.
"Nevermind. I just don't get it." Hanna stated.
"Get what?" I asked her.
"Why you would give me up like that? Ashley could've found a donor." Hanna asked.
"It made me feel good knowing Ashley was happy, plus we wouldn't be able to handle two newborns and Charles, if he ever came back. Jason was always easy." I answered.
"Did Jason know that you were alive?" Spencer asked me.
"Yes." I answered.
"He lied to us." Em whispered.
"He did what?" I asked.
"He told us that he didn't know where you were." Em clarified.
"He did alright, but it's good that he kept it a secret." I smiled.
"You would've found me too soon, putting everyone in danger." I stated.
"Why did you choose the name Hanna?" Hanna asked me.
"I had a feeling I was having girls, and Hanna means god's gift, which is what you are." I answered.
Hanna smiled.
That's all I need from her, a smile.
"Alison means a noble fighter, plus I've always liked the name." I told Alison before she asked.
"I wonder what Spencer means." Spencer whispered.
"Keeper of provisions." I told her.
"Lion of God, song, melody, and star for Aria." I added.
"Emily is industrious." I finished.
"How do you know all of this?" Hanna asked me.
"I looked it up one day." I said with a shrug.
All of the sudden, Spencer's phone went off.
"Who is it?" I asked.
"It's a blocked number." Spencer whispered.
