Chapter twenty-one: birthday surprises

HANNA

10 MONTHS LATER

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Riley and Ava, happy birthday to youuu!" Caleb and I chorused. Today the girls turn one, wow a year has gone by fast. They've grown so much, and are getting the hang of talking (mostly gibberish). I don't understand them but they just chat away to each other.

I pick up Ava and spin her around. Caleb does the same to Riley. We aeroplane mode them to the kitchen where they are placed in their named high-chairs. Caleb gets out the baby food and two spoons. We sit opposite them (in the firing line) and feed them their food. They seem to enjoy it, and they like it enough not to spit it back at us both.

The girls and my mom are coming at 12 and it's now 10:27am. Caleb's parents are coming down for the celebration so they'll get here around 1:15pm. The lads (Toby and Ezra) stayed the night and are in two of the guest bedrooms sleeping off their hangover. Aha last night was fun.

After I had put the kids to bed I waltzed downstairs to find the boys sprawled across the couch. I see the only one not passed out is Ezra. He's a good, sober boy. I grabbed Toby's legs and Ezra got his arms. We carried him upstairs and lay him in one of the guest beds. Ezra undressed him and we left the room.

Then we went back downstairs and started to move Caleb. Ezra helped me get him into the master bedroom but I told him that I "had it from here" and that he could "go find the guest room of his choice". He agreed and left me to deal with my very drunk hot mess of a husband… and you can guess what that led too!

I chuckle to myself about last night, and I hear someone yawn. "What's so funny blondey?" Ezra says, flipping pancakes. "Thinking about last night, and how drunk Tobias was," I say, turning to face him. "Speaking of the devil," Ezra says, pointing towards the zombie looking creature walking towards us.

"Got any aspirin, and water?" he croaks, making me and Ezra laugh. I hand him them both and he sleepily shuffles back to his 'bat cave'. I take out a plate and get my Nutella. I spread it on the pancake and eat it. Then I walk back upstairs and take a quick shower.

I get out the shower and change into a cropped white laced top with a matching short skirt. I slip on some cream flats. I do a neutral make-up look consisting of foundation, concealer under my eyes, a little blush and no eyeshadow. I contour my face, and then fill in my eyebrows. Then I apply my mascara and do a little cat eye.

CALEB

The doorbell goes, and I look at my watch. It's 12pm, meaning Hanna's mom and friends will be at the front door. My parent's flight gets in around 12:30, but it takes 30 minutes to get to the house. I open the door and stood infront of me is someone I never thought I'd see again…

"Charlotte?" I say, lowering my voice. "What are you doing here?" I ask nervously. The last time I saw her, well let's just say Hanna and I were on a break. "I wanted you to meet someone…" she says, pulling me out of the house.

Infront of me stands a young girl, around 2. She has brown, wavy hair and big green eyes. "This is Layla Jade. She's 2 years old, and her birthday is on the 13th of July." Charlotte tells me. "Is she… is she mine?" I whisper. "Yes," Charlotte whispers back, making my eyes bulge. "And you've brought her here because?" I ask.

"I'm going to Australia. For a job, and I don't want to move Layla around. She deserves to know her father Caleb." She tells me. "So you're implying that I take her into custody." I say. "You just need to sign these documents, please Caleb," she says, looking at me. "Fine," I say, signing the paper.

Charlotte bends down and gives the little girl a hug. Tears fall down both their cheeks, and I'm instantly emotional. I have a daughter, and I haven't been in their life for 2 years. I hold out my hand, and Layla gratefully takes it. She beams at me, and says "thank you daddy!"

Charlotte leaves, and I walk inside with Layla. "Caleb?" Hanna calls, walking down the stairs. "Who's this?" she asks, peering at Layla. Layla cuddles into my leg, frightened by Hanna. "Hanna, this is Layla Jade. Layla this is my wife Hanna."

Layla lets go of my hand and walks over to Hanna. Hanna bends down to her height and picks up Layla. Lay cuddles into her chest and gets comfy. "Is there and explanation?" she asks me. I sigh and nod my head.

"When we were on a break, I hooked up with this girl called Charlotte. I was drunk and I guess we didn't use protection." I tell her truthfully. Her mouth opens and her eyes fill with tears. "Hanna, please say something." I say.

"I can't even look at you right now Caleb, I didn't think you were one of those boys." She whispers, before sliding Layla off her lap and walking out of the room. Layla slides over to me, and I cuddle her. "It's okay daddy." She says, kissing my cheek.
