Hello Lovelies. I was asked what is the time frame. Hanna moved to Philly at the beginning of December so everything that happens pretty much happened every week and now it's New Year's. Hope you enjoy and please leave a review. All of you are awesome.
Hanna walks around with her mask securely on her face. Emily did invite Samara and what was refreshing was the fact that, for once, Em didn't look sad. Alison couldn't make it and because Emily was focused on a relationship, that –A ruined, she didn't even seem to notice.
"You're looking smashing as ever Hanna." Wren says as he lifts his mask. Hanna lifts hers and smiles at him.
"As do you in your tux Wren. Where are you living now?" Hanna asks.
"I recently moved back into the country and am now living in California."
"Still a doctor?" Hanna asks. Wren smiles.
"More or less. . . Leaning more towards family bus. . ."
"There you are. Hanna . . . I didn't see you there." Melissa says as Hanna smirks.
"Because this red dress is so subtle." Hanna says as Melissa glares. Wren laughs and quickly covers it with a cough. Melissa looks at Wren and then back at Hanna. "Anyways I'll leave you two to it." Hanna says as she puts her mask back on and walks away. Hanna was fully aware that if you insult Melissa first the shock of it all won't give her time for a rebuttal so your next best thing was to quickly leave the area. Melissa was still a bitch and her come backs were gold.
Hanna finds Aria and interlocks their arms. Aria's hand rests on top of Hanna's as they stand somewhat out of the way. The ballroom was crowded ridiculously.
"Hanna I'm starving." Aria whispers towards Hanna.
"That makes two of us. I would kill for some cheese fries." Hanna says as Aria looks at her wide eyed.
"O my God. Please! Except keep the cheese I'll just have the fries." Aria says as Hanna laughs.
"You think they would notice?" Hanna asks.
"Notice what." Spencer says behind them as Hanna and Aria practically jump out of their skin.
"We want food." Aria says. Spencer groans.
"You too? Can we please just go to the hotel restaurant and . . ."
"Spence there is someone we want you to meet." Veronica says as she pulls Spencer to the crowd.
"Order me whatever you're getting Han!" Spencer yells right before she puts on her criminal defense attorney face and immediately stands tall and walks to the group beside her mother. Hanna and Aria walk out the ball room and immediately go to the restaurant and sit down. Hanna and Aria order quickly.
"So what's new at the boutique?" Aria asks.
"Other than my employee dating Darren Wilden?" Aria looks at Hanna.
"You can't be serious?" Aria says.
"Oh I am very serious and he has started his old ways again." Hanna says as she drinks her water.
"What are you going to do?" Aria asks. Hanna shakes her head.
"I have no idea Aria. I can't fire her because she is outstanding and I am not going to tell her who she can and cannot date. I feel stuck because with her working for me Wilden will be around constantly." Hanna says. "How about you Aria? What's new?"
"Other than some authors sending in their manuscripts even though they know they have to go through the right channels? Nothing at all." Aria says.
"What do you mean? I thought that's what everyone does?" Hanna says as Aria shakes her head.
"It's more complex than that. The sad part is there are a few novels that are superb but won't get recognized because the author is new which, unfortunately, in my world makes them a nobody. Celebrities make it look easy but chances are made on celebrities because their books will definitely sell. A random person who nobody knows . . . not so much." Aria says.
"That sucks" Hanna says. They see the waitress with their food and Hanna actually licks her lip before she grabs a fry. Spencer arrives and they all, minus Emily who was occupied with Samara, start talking about their jobs.
"So when are you going to California?" Spencer asks as she takes Hanna's cheese fry.
"Thursday and my mom and Ali will be helping out." Hanna says as she wipes her mouth with a napkin.
"Lucas know that?" Spencer asks.
"Nope" Hanna says popping the p.
"Why don't you date Jordan again? He sounds dreamy, you actually have an enjoyable time with him and you're both single." Aria says as she drinks her tea. Hanna shrugs.
"I guess I didn't want to rush into anything to soon after Travis." Hanna lies considering she was in a relationship with Caleb as they spoke. The same Caleb that didn't even tell her he was going to Japan but called her back when he came home. If it wasn't for Lucas she would have thought Caleb pulled one of his disappearing acts.
"Hanna . . . did you hear anything we just said?" Spencer asks as Aria laughs.
"What." Hanna says. Aria and Spencer look at each other and just laugh as Hanna smiles.
"I told you she had that look Spence." Aria says as Hanna flicks her off which has Aria laughing more.
Spence pays for the meal before they retouch their make-up and return to the party.
"We have music now?" Spencer asks as she sees a few couples dancing. Hanna smiles as she sees Toby and Ezra in separate areas of the room but still there.
"And both of you have men to go to. Go have fun and fraternize later." Hanna says.
"Han this is our first new year's together in a long time." Spence says as she grabs Hanna's hand.
"And it won't be our last. Now go dance with your men. You have thirty minutes before the countdown and the balloons drop." Hanna says as she hugs Spencer then Aria.
"See you tomorrow at my place for dinner? Aria asks.
"I'll be there. Now go have some fun." Hanna says as Spence and Aria leave Hanna and then part ways as they walk to their respective men.
Hanna drinks some wine as she talks to Wren again but as soon as Melissa gives her the evil eye she finds somewhere else to go. She danced and talked with Samara and Emily a little before the countdown. Hanna walks out the doors leading to the terrace. Hanna hugs herself as she looks up at the winter sky and begins hearing the crowd scream the countdown. Hanna gets turned and dipped and right as she hears "one" lips press against hers. Hanna's eyes close as her body and mind know exactly whose arms were around her body and whose lips were kissing hers.
Hanna's hand rests on his neck as her other hand lightly holds his bicep. She could see his eyes through his mask.
"Happy New Year Hanna Marin." Caleb says as Hanna's dimples become prominent as her eyes look into his.
"Happy New Year Caleb Rivers." Hanna's arm hugs Caleb's neck tightly as he rights them to a standing position. Caleb's arms tighten around Hanna as Hanna's legs pop up. Hanna moves away from Caleb.
"Why didn't you tell me jerk and by the way you look hot." Hanna says as she admires Caleb in a tux and bites the side of her lip. Caleb pulls Hanna into his chest.
"I thought you would like it." Caleb says as he kisses the side of Hanna's neck.
"Oh I do but I am curious about one thing." Hanna says.
"What?" Caleb says before his jaw tightens at the feel of Hanna's hand on his crotch.
"Good job baby. You aren't going commando." Hanna says seductively. Caleb smirks before he holds her jaw lightly between his hands and kisses her passionately. Hanna breaks their kiss slightly.
"You should probably stop since we are definitely around a crowd of people." Hanna says.
"Let them watch." Caleb says as his lips find Hanna's again. A while later Hanna and Caleb get a taxi and leave but not before being noticed by someone they didn't even realize was watching them.
"Was that Hanna?" Samara asks as they look after the taxi. Emily's eyes narrow.
"Yea, and this is the second time she's done something like that." Emily says as she calls Hanna. She hangs up once she realizes that Hanna left her phone at home. Hanna was complaining about it when they reached the hotel. "Damn it." Emily says as Samara holds her wrist.
"Don't worry about it Emily. Hanna is a big girl and from the stories you've told me I'm pretty sure she can handle herself. Ready?" Samara asks. Emily smiles and nods.
"Ready" Emily says as they get into a taxi and head to a gay bar Samara's friend opened recently.
The red Porsche sat there and watched as Hanna left with Caleb and Emily left with the blonde. He made sure to take a picture of Caleb in a tux, just for Miranda. His phone rings. He looks at the caller id before answering.
"Yes Miranda"
"When are you coming back, I'm bored." Miranda says.
"Acting like a petulant child is irritating so my advice for you is to stop. I took a picture for you that I think you will love." He said. Miranda laid on their bed in Paris knowing that whatever he had to show her, she wouldn't like. Miranda looks at the picture of her and Caleb before she puts it back in her luggage.
"Why is that?" Miranda asks as he laughs. He sees Aria and Fitzgerald come out next. Yes, Jason DiLaurentis is the perfect person for Miranda to get close to next. He should be suffering from a broken heart after all. He needed DiLaurentis' connections and he couldn't use his usual routes for obvious reasons.
"Because it is a picture you've never seen before. Regardless I get back to Paris day after tomorrow. I have some affairs to attend to here." He says as he hears a beep on his line. He moves his phone from his ear and looks at the name. He's stayed away too long. "Miranda, I have to go. Start connecting with Jason DiLaurentis and this time don't fail your job." He hangs up the phone and circles so he could bring his car to the valet.
"Will you need it for the rest of the night sir?" The valet asks.
"No, I won't be needing it until check out." He says as he walks into the hotel.
Hanna grabs her robe before walking down the stairs into the kitchen. She turns on the percolator before she walks back upstairs. She watches a naked Caleb and straddles his lap as she gets on her bed. Caleb moans as he holds Hanna's hips and opens his eyes.
"Good morning." Caleb says. Hanna smiles and puts her hair behind her ear before she leans forward and kisses him. Caleb grips Hanna's ass before sliding his hands up her back. Caleb moves her robe off and immediately begins sucking and biting her nipples.
"You're insatiable." Hanna moans as Caleb stops his teasing and smiles.
"They've gotten slightly bigger. I meant to tell you that a few weeks ago." Caleb says. Hanna laughs and shakes her head as she looks at her breasts and holds them up.
"This is nothing. You should have seen how swollen they were when I was pregnant." Hanna says. Her phone rings. "Damn, I'll be right back." Hanna says as she answers her cell. Hanna walks down stairs and into the kitchen to fix them both a cup of coffee.
While she's talking Caleb gets up, puts on his pants and walks to the railing to look down at Hanna. He knew she said that without thinking of the onslaught of questions that would hammer his mind. While they were together Caleb knew Hanna wasn't pregnant. He also knew that Hanna would never get an abortion or put that child up for adoption. Miranda probably but not Hanna. Hanna gets off her phone call and right before she could move her phone rings again. Hanna groans and answers it. Caleb walks down stairs and sits on one of the stools by the countertop. Hanna hands Caleb his coffee as she continues talking to someone who seemed to be having a crisis. Hanna ends her call and turns to open the cabinet beside the microwave.
"When were you pregnant Hanna?" Caleb asks. Hanna stiffens before she looks at him.
"What?" Hanna asks softly. Hanna couldn't figure out how he knew and then she remembered. She slipped up.
"When were you pregnant? I know you probably said it unintentionally upstairs but then your phone rang before I could ask you so I'm asking now. When were you pregnant?" Caleb asks. Hanna turns and gets the sugar from the cabinet before she gets the milk from the fridge and pours both into her coffee.
"It doesn't matter Caleb." Hanna says as she takes a sip of coffee.
"Was it mine?" Caleb asks calmly but he could feel his anger and hurt bubbling.
"It doesn't matter Caleb." Hanna says.
"You said that already and obviously it does matter so tell me. Was it mine?" Caleb says forcefully and border line through his teeth. The thought of Hanna not telling him. The thought of all this time passing and Hanna not saying a word to him about it.
"Yes, he or she was yours." Hanna says as she watches many emotions cross Caleb's face. She watches him stand leaving his coffee on the counter.
"Why didn't you tell me Hanna?" Caleb asks.
"I miscarried and since you had already left it didn't matter." Hanna says closing her eyes at the way that sounded. Hanna was also aware of how Caleb would take it.
"It didn't matter? You miscarried our child and it didn't matter?" Caleb asks incredulously.
"That's not what I meant Caleb." Hanna says as she opens her eyes to see Caleb standing in front of her.
"Then tell me Hanna. What did you mean?" Caleb says as he crosses his arms in front of his wide muscular chest.
"When I miscarried it was something I had to deal with alone. I dealt with it Caleb. Do I want to rehash my loss? No, I rather move on from it and it happened four, going on five, years ago." Hanna says. Caleb looks at her for a long time.
"Why didn't you tell me?" Caleb asks.
"Would it have really made a difference Caleb?" Hanna asks sounding exhausted as though this conversation was weighing her down.
"I would have come back Hanna. I would . . ."
"You would have been forced to stay with me because of our child and then we would have been making the same mistake your parents made. You had to leave remember? You wanted to force me into choosing my career or you. I never chose, you chose for me, so I wasn't going to force you to stay." Hanna says. Caleb backs away from her and walks up stairs. Hanna hugs herself as she follows him and watches him get dressed. "Where are you going?" Hanna asks.
"Home Hanna. I'm going home." Caleb says.
"Don't leave like this . . ." Hanna says before Caleb stands.
"I love you Hanna, I always have, but right now I can't be around you. You had time to deal with the miscarriage that I'm just learning about. I need time to digest that I lost a child, a child that would have shared our blood." Caleb walks down the stairs and Hanna follows him. He stops at the lift before he raises the door.
"Would you have told me?" Caleb asks. Hanna didn't know what to say because she honestly wasn't sure. Caleb looked at Hanna over his shoulder and nods. "That's what scares me Han. The fact that you don't know." Caleb says as he walks out.
