Chapter Twenty Nine

Hanna huffed as she watched the teenager behind the till thumble around with the change in his hand. "You'll have to wait a minute for your coffee," He stuttered. "The machine just got refilled."

She flashed him a small smile and stepped to the side to let the person behind her order. Checking the time on her phone she looked around The Brew and stopped her eyes on the back of Caleb's head. He was sat on a chair facing away from her with his phone pressed to her ear and she could tell he was in deep conversation.

He had rushed off to the side when his phone rang mumbling something about a job interview and leaving her waiting in the queue for her coffee- which she hoped wouldn't take much longer as they had to pick Scarlett up from school soon.

She turned back to the till to see an older, more experienced looking woman hand her the coffee. She took it smiling at the woman and made her way over to Caleb. She stopped behind him however, when she heard wha he was saying. "Thanks Ashley," He spoke. "And don't say anything to Han."

Hanna's eyebrows furrowed even more as she heard what he was saying. It didn't sound like anything to do with a job interview unless her mom was giving Caleb a job at the Radley, but she didn't get why they would keep that a secret.

Caleb ended the call so she stepped around and made her presence known. "Oh, hey." He grinned, clearly unaware she had heard the backend of his conversation. "Are you ready to go get Scar?"

She nodded as he stood up. "Who was on the phone?" She asked.

"Oh, it was just about a job interview." He shrugged, reaching for her hand to take as they started walking to his car.

Hanna nodded and wondered why he was lying and what he was keeping as surprise from her. He knew she hated surprises, nearly as much as he hated them. Although, she thought back to the last time he did something like this when they were teenagers and he disappeared off to New York returning with a job and enough money to pay for her to go to collage. That had been a good surprise and it eased her mind slightly.

"What are we doing later?" Caleb asked, breaking her thoughts as they reached his car and he made his way around to the other side.

Hanna hopping in the passenger side and set her coffee in the cup holder. "You didn't want anything did you?" She asked suddenly remembering she hadn't asked him when she went to order. He shook his head and started the ignition, waiting for her answer. "I was thinking," She began and he knew instantly by her tone that he wasn't going to like it. "Scar keeps pestering me about going shopping and Toby and Yvonne's engagement party is next week and she doesn't have anything to wear to it."

Caleb looked over at her puppy eyes and rolled his own. "You want to go to the Mall?" He asked, already knowing the answer. Why did his child have to be so much like her mother and have an obsession with clothes? Hanna nodded knowing there was no way he'd be able to say no to her and Scarlett. "Fine," He mumbled. "We might as well get something to eat there too."

She grinned and leant over to press a kiss to his cheek as he carried on driving. "You must really love us." She knew he hated the Mall and he knew she knew he hated the Mall.

"Anything for my girls." He muttered flashing her a quick smile.


"Do you need any help?" Hanna called through the closed curtain of the child's changing room that Scarlett was behind.

"I can do it by myself." She growled causing Hanna to roll her eyes and move over to Caleb who was sat on the armchair, patiently waiting.

"She won't let me help her." Hanna muttered as she sat herself on his knee and let him wrap his arms around her, his hand resting on her butt as she draped one arm around his shoulders.

"She's trying to be independent." Caleb grinned, nuzzling her cheek.

"I know," Hanna mumbled. "But that dress costs ninety-five dollars, she better not rip it."

Caleb's eyes widened at the price. That's was another thing his daughter inherited from her mother; expensive taste.

Before they could say anything else the curtain opened and Scarlett walked out dressed in a pale pink dress with a red rose print and a red bow at the front. "Does it look nice?"

Caleb pursed his lips as he looked at his daughter. In that moment as Scarlett looked up at him with a excited grin on her face and dressed in something new she looked so much like Hanna. Her golden hair glistened and her dimples lit up her cheeks. "You look beautiful."

Hanna sat there with a proud pout in her face, approving of her little girls taste in clothes. "Gorgeous, baby." She grinned.

Scarlett giggled at them and came closer so one hand was leaning on Hanna's knee and one on Caleb's. "Can I have it please?" She asked. "For Toby's party."

"Of course you can." Caleb didn't hesitate to answer, watching as her face lit up again and she twirled around before she was running back into the changing room.

"You spoil her." Hanna told him, laughing at how easily he gave in to Scarlett. "She's got you wrapped around her little finger."

"Like you could have said no when she had that smile on her face." He defended himself, patting her butt and encouraging her up. "Im hungry, can we go for food now?"

"We'll get the dress and find somewhere to eat." She nodded standing up and stepping towards the changing room. "What do you fancy?"

Caleb's arms found their way back around her waist as his stomach rumbled. "Pizza." He replied simply.

"Me too," She mumbled as they waited for Scarlett. When she was changed back into her normal clothes and they paid for the dress they made their way to a restaurant.

Hanna and Scarlett both took seats opposite each other at the table as Caleb grabbed the menu's from the side. He pulled out the seat next to Hanna but Scarlett stopped him. "Don't sit next to mommy, sit next to me." She instructed, patting the chair next to her.

He looked between the two blondes trying to decided where to sit before he made up his mind and stepped over to Scarlett's side. She stuck her tongue out at Hanna and blew a raspberry until she felt Caleb's arms around her waist and he lifted her up. He sat her back down on the seat next to Hanna before returning to the other side. "Now I can see both your pretty faces."

Hanna laughed at him and shook her head slightly as she handed Scarlett the child's menu. "Your so cheesy."

He grinned at them both me looked down at his menu. "I want a pepperoni pizza." Scarlett announced before Hanna even had the chance to read her the menu.

"Okay," Hanna set her own menu down. "Why don't we all get a pizza to share?"

"I only like pepperoni." Scarlett repeated.

"We can share a big pepperoni pizza then." Caleb grinned setting the menu down and calling over a waiter.

Once they had ordered and their drinks arrived Scarlett moved herself to Hanna's knee. "Why is Toby having a party?" She asked.

"Because he asked Yvonne to marry him so they're having an engagement party to tell people about it." Hanna explained.

"Are they having a wedding too?"

"Yep," Hanna replied, stroking some of Scarlett's hair out of her face. "But it won't be for a while because they have to plan it first."

"Will I be a bridesmaid because I was going to be one when you married Jordan but now your not." Scarlett mumbled, sticking her bottom lip out slightly.

"I don't know baby." Hanna ran her hand down Scarlett's upper arm. "But it's a good thing I didn't marry Jordan because we have Caleb back now." She looked across at him and grinned.

Scarlett's lip immediately went back to normal and she sat up, wriggling off Hanna's knee to run over to Caleb and sit on his. "And he's my daddy." She added as he scooped her up.

"Why don't I talk to Toby and see if you can be a bridesmaid or something?" Caleb suggested.

"Yeah!" Scarlett cheered reaching up to wrap her arms around his neck and hug him tightly. Then she settled back on his knee again as they waited for the pizza.

Hanna watched them talking as she thought back to Jordan's proposal and how it could have been Caleb instead. They hadn't talked about the ring since she had asked him about it the night they got back together and honestly she had forgotten it existed. She wondered where it was and if he had forgotten about it too and then she remembered his conversation with her mother. Why hadn't he told her he was speaking to her mom and what wasn't she allowed to know? He did really have a reason to talk to her mom without her knowing unless he was-

"Mommy," Scarlett broke her train of thought. "What are you wearing to the party?"

"I don't know," She shrugged, her mind stopped thinking about the possibilities and concentrated on her daughter.

"You should buy a new dress." Scarlett suggested.

"You should." Caleb agreed with a smirk. "I'll buy it for you."

"No, you don't need to." She shook her head. He was supposed to be saving money, they both were.

"I do, you don't have a job so I will treat you to a fancy new dress." He grinned, watching as she tried with all her might to decline but being Hanna Marin meant that was very hard.

"Fine." She gave in with a small smile in her face. "If you insist."


"How's it look?" Caleb asked as he pushed aside the curtain if the changing room to find Hanna stood in just her bra and panties.

She bit her lip and looked over to the pile of black material on the floor that Caleb had picked out. "Honestly?" She asked and he already knew what she was going to say. "It's one of the most hideous dresses I have ever seen."

Caleb's face fell. He hadn't been expecting it to be that bad. Hanna immediately felt bad and stepped closer to him, looping her arms around his waist. "That bad?" He chuckled.

She nodded and let out a small smile as she pressed a kiss to his nose. "It makes me look like a stripper."

Caleb let out another laugh and wrapped his arms around her back. "Maybe that's why I chose it?" He smirked.

Hanna shook her head before she leant up to kiss him again. "You look better like this anyway," Caleb smirked looking down at her black lacey bra. He pulled her closer and joined their lips in hot, opened mouth kisses. He couldn't get enough of her kisses.

They only pulled away when Hanna felt someone tapping her stomach. "Mommy," Scarlett spoke, breaking her parents apart and wedging herself between them. "I'm bored."

Hanna wiped her lips and smiled down at her daughter. "Why don't you help Caleb pick out another dress, because he's not very good at it."

Scarlett grinned and grabbed his hand. "Come on." She lead him out of the changing room and back to the racks of dresses that to him all looked the same.

"What about this one?" He asked, letting go of her hand and pointing to a blue dress.

"That's yucky." Scarlett told him with a cheeky grin on her face. "Mommy won't wear that."

He stuck his tongue out at her with a smile on his face as he watched her erupt into giggles. "You pick one then."

She started looking through the racks of clothes again until something caught the five year olds eyes and she disappeared around a corner. Caleb followed her quickly and found her on her tiptoes trying to pull a red dress off the hook. He pulled it down for her and held it up, "You think mommy will like this?"

"Yep." She smiled smugly and started running back to the changing rooms. Caleb followed her and handed Hanna the dress before he turned around and spotted Scarlett sat on a chair, waiting. "Come sit down Daddy." She called.

Caleb took one step and then froze as her words sank in. She called him Daddy. His daughter just called him Daddy. He wanted to run over to her and throw her into the air with excitement, but decided not to when he looked up and saw her messing with the zip on her coat, clearly unaware of the effect of her words. They must have slipped out so easily for her so he didn't want to make a big fuss incase she didn't do it again.

Instead he casually walked over and lifted her up so he could sit on the chair and the placed her back in his lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck, smiling and knelt on his thighs so they were face to face. He gripped her tiny waist as one of her hands moved from around his neck to poke his chin and her smile turned into a giggle as she squeezed his clef chin together. "What's so funny?" Caleb asked again.

"You've got a bum chin." She threw her head back with laughter.

Caleb laughed too and brought his hand up to the chin she had inherited from him. "So do you." He poked it gently and then tucked a piece of stray hair behind her ear.

A smile still graced her lips as she reached up again and ran her hands along his cheek. "Your cheek is hairy."

"I need a shave." Caleb replied, rubbing his rough cheek against her smooth hand.

Scarlett shook her head and laughed. "I think you should have a long beard, like Santa."

"No way."

"Yes way." She giggled sticking her tongue out and and blowing a raspberry in his face. Her hands went back up to his cheeks and then to his lips. She squeezed them together so he was making a pouty face. "I'm gonna give you a kiss." She told him with her fingers still around his lips. "Coz' Daddies should kiss their babies and I'm your baby."

"Okay," Caleb mumbled through closed lips and watched as she pouted her own and leant down to give him a kiss.

Her wet sloppy lips pressed against his and she shrieked with laughter. "Again!"

Caleb beamed as she released his lips from her fingers and kissed him again. He pulled back and placed a final kiss on her head before the curtain in front of them was pulled back and Hanna stepped out.

Caleb's breath caught in his throat as he looked her up and down, taking in the red dress Scarlett had picked out. It had a low V- neckline that showed more than enough cleavage and two cut outs on the ribs. "You like?" Hanna asked.

Caleb nodded and stood up, moving Scarlett to his hip as he stepped closer to Hanna. "Wow." Was all he could get out. She looked so beautiful and sexy all at the same time.

"It's pretty Mommy." Scarlett said as she wriggled out of her fathers arms.

"I'm hoping that was a good Wow." Hanna smirked, wrapping her arms around Caleb's neck and pulling him closer.

"That was a very good Wow." He whispered against her lips. She inched forward to join them in a kiss but he held back. "You look amazing. I'm buying it for you."

Hanna looked down at his lips and then back into his eyes. "You don't have to, it's like two hundred dollars."

"Hanna, there is no way I am not buying you this dress." He pushed his lips against hers before she had the chance to argue. The dress was as much a present for himself as it was for her.

A familiar giggle broke them apart and they looked down to find Scarlett laughing at their feet. "You kiss too loud." She told them.

Caleb pulled away and released his grip on Hanna. "Are we done shopping now?" He asked with a small groan.

"Actually, there's one more shop I want to visit." Hanna smirked as she made her way back into the changing room. "And I think you'll like it."

He started to follow her when he felt Scarlett grab his coat. "Come on Daddy." She tugged a few times before running back to the chair.

"Did she just-?" Hanna didn't need to finish her sentence before Caleb was nodding and grinning widely. He pressed one final kiss to her lips before following Scarlett.


Hanna shook her head, watching Caleb's lips battling a smirk as she lead him through the entrance of Victoria Secrets. "I won't be long."

"Take as long as you like." Caleb finally gave up holding in his smirk. "And remember I'm buying."

"Well, in that case," She let go of his hand and disappeared into the shop. She found herself wondering in the fragrance section before her attention was turned to the underwear at the back of the shop.

A few minutes later she was looking for some panties to match the black and white lace bra in her hand when she heard her daughters giggle. She turned around to see Scarlet walking towards her with Caleb stood behind, his hands covering the five year olds eyes.

"Stop Daddy," She giggled as she tried and failed to pull his hands away. "I can't see."

"What are you doing?" Hanna laughed as she moved closer to them.

"She's only five," Caleb defended, shrugging with his hands still covering Scarlett view. "She shouldn't be exposed to this stuff until she's thirty."

"I know what a bra is." She giggled. "You put it on your boobies."

"You don't have any boobies yet." Hanna laughed as she encouraged Caleb's hands away from their daughters face.

"Is that all your buying?" Caleb asked looking down at the bra in her hand.

"Help me pick some more stuff out?" She offered, biting her lip.

Caleb's face lit up as he snaked an arm around her waist and grabbed her butt. "Are you gonna model them all for me?"

She leant forward and kissed the shell of his ear. "Later." She whispered.

He patted her butt one last time before he turned his attention to what would look the best on Hanna. "What about this?" He smirked, flinging a black string thong in her face.

She rolled her eyes at him and grabbed it out of his hand about to say something when Scarlett caught her eyes. "Ohmygod."

"Look at me!" Scarlett called as Caleb spun around too to see his sweet, innocent daughter with a pair of hot pink panties on her head.

"And that," Caleb laughed, stepping forward to pluck them off her little blonde head. "Is why you don't let a five year old wonder round Victoria Secrets."

Hanna couldn't hold back a laugh as she shook her head and laughed at her daughter.
