Chapter 12

Home

Still standing in the doorway glancing awkwardly between Hanna and Spencer, his hands in his pockets was Caleb.

Hanna whipped around and looked at Caleb, who scratched the back of his neck. A clear sign of his nervousness. Once again glancing between the two women, not sure what to say or do.

An awkward silence filled the room as all three of them stood there lost for words and lost for any means to defuse the ever filling tension.

"Maybe I should come back tomorrow?" Caleb asked uncertainly, glancing at Hanna, his eyes flicking momentarily over to where Spencer was standing and back at Hanna. Silently pleading with her to get him out of this situation.

"Uhmm, actually I was just about to leave." Spencer lied and looked at Hanna who was still standing there with two glasses of wine in her hand and the third that was meant for Emily still on the counter.

Caleb raised his eyebrows at her comment, clearly not believing her.

"What is all the wine for then?" Caleb asked bluntly pointing at all the wine Hanna was surrounded with.

"If you must know Caleb, me and Hanna were going to have some wine and we thought that was Emily at the door, but as this situation is awkward enough as it is," she said pointing between the three of them.

"Unless you think the three of us having wine together would make this situation any better?" Spencer rambled angrily.

"I don't want to kick you out." Caleb said Indignantly.

"Three's a crowd Caleb." Spencer retorted and stood up.

Spencer quickly walked around the room, collecting her things with some haste, with a quick hug to Hanna and a forced wave at Caleb she was out of the door. The moment the door closed, Caleb let out a sigh and glanced back at Hanna who was still standing at the counter when their eyes finally met.

"Well that was awkward." Caleb finally said, making Hanna laugh nervously as he walked over to her glancing at the glasses of wine. The uncomfortable abeyance still lingering in the room that was quickly replaced by a different tension as she remembered the last time they had been this close, all they had been able to do was kiss each other senseless.

"So eh, how did it go?" Caleb asked as he picked up the glass of wine intended for Emily and leaned against the counter whilst taking a sip of wine.

Hanna looked at him questioningly.

"What?"

"Since when have you been drinking wine?"

She noticed a small blush creeping up on Caleb's cheeks and instantly regretted asking him. Clearly he had picked it up when he was with Spencer. She was known for her exquisitive knowledge for wine.

"Brent isn't really that big on beer, so whenever I'm in New York, they often don't have any beers in the house and I don't always feel like picking some up, so I end up drinking wine with Joanne and Brent instead."

"You can always drink soda you know."

"Ha ha, Caleb mocked. I forgot how funny you were Han." He turned sideways so he could look at Hanna, his smirk still in place. She glanced at him as she drank from her wine and shot him a devilish grin over the rim of her glass.

"So how did it go?" He asked with a nod towards the door where Spencer had disappeared through.

Hanna knew what he meant without asking him.

"It was alright. Basically a bit of shouting, talking and eventually hugging." Hanna said, averting her eyes.

"So, you guys worked things out?" Caleb asked tentatively although he was screaming of happiness from the inside at the thought of finally being able to be together with Hanna again.

"What are you suddenly so happy about?" Hanna asked, having seen the massive grin spread across his face he had been unable to hide.

"Does that mean I can take you on a date now?" Caleb asked happily

"On a date? You want to take me on a date?"

Caleb moved from the counter and stood in front of her placing the wine back on the counter and wrapped one arm around her waist, pulling her closer.

"Han, of course I want to take you on a date. There is nothing more I want right now than to be with you and spend as much time with you as I can. Hell I can't wait to take you out on a date and show the entire world that we're together again."

"I mean… we are right? Together?"

Hanna smiled, cupping his face into her hands and placed a lingering kiss on his lips. "As long as you promise me that you will take me on that date, I think it's time we start looking forward.

Beside's, I haven't seen you for a few hours and I was already going out of my mind missing you." She said kissing him again.

"So where are you taking me?" Hanna said as they pulled apart several minutes later.

"Now?" Caleb asked her in surprise.

"Wait, you're not here to take me on a date?"

"I wasn't yet, I just wanted to come and see you, I missed you. The uhm, the date I'm planning needs a bit more time."

"You're planning a date? How long have you been planning it?"

Caleb touched her nose slightly and kissed it.

"No need for you to be so nosy, you'll find out soon enough." He teased.

Hanna flashed him her puppy dog eyes she knew he couldn't resist but he just laughed at her and pulled her close to him.

"Now come here so I can kiss you properly." He said in whispered tones before kissing her softly.

Hanna's mind was momentarily filled with cotton wool as Caleb kissed her passionately but pulled away before things could get out of hand. She looked at him for a moment and opened her mouth to speak but nothing came out. Only when Caleb raised his eyebrows at her, did it prompt her to finally voice what was on her mind.

"So how did it go on your end?" Hanna started, waiting for Caleb to catch on to what she was talking about.

"Spencer never said. She uh, left before we could get to that."

Caleb signed and picked up his glass again. Dejected that his past actions had a way of creeping back into his current life. All he wanted was to be with Hanna, not to be dragging up the past and especially not talk about Spencer. He took one of her dainty hands in his and lead her over to the couch where they both sat down. Hanna's eyes full of nervous anticipation, absentmindedly rubbing the rim of her glass her lips pressed tightly together.

"Look Han. I understand that this is something you need to talk about and put to rest and I understand that you need to ask all sorts of questions to be able to put your mind at ease. So please know that you can ask me whatever you want and I'll be open about everything, but please understand that it was nothing, nothing compared to what we ever had."

"It was just a stupid thing I did and I really regret it. I know I should have never gone out with her, I don't know why I was being so stupid. So whatever you need to know just ask me because all I want is to be able to be with you. Without anything standing between us because I've missed you so much. More than you can imagine."

"Well what do you want me to say after a speech like that?" Hanna said shyly.

"Well I meant it, every word of it." He said in a gentle voice, scooting closer to her.

"So things are resolved between you guys?"

"It might still a bit awkward when we see her next time, but things are definitely resolved." Caleb said earnestly staring into Hanna's eyes.

"You sure?"

"Yeah, Caleb said quietly and placed a hand on Hanna's cheek, rubbing the skin softly. And she told me never to let go of you again, which I'm not planning to. Not ever." He continued, moving closer to her until their noses were nearly touching.

"Look Hanna I don't care how long you are going to need to get to terms with everything. I don't care, even it will take a week a month or a year to get back to the way we were. All that matters to me is that I never lose you again."

Caleb wiped away the lonely tear that rand down Hanna's face and cupped her face in his hands. He looked at her for a long time. Both of them staring into each other's eyes for what seemed like forever until his eyes flicked momentarily to her lips before he looked up at her again.

Something had suddenly shifted, he could finally see it now. Her walls had come down and her defense had crumbled. There was only love in her eyes.

He closed the distance between them and kissed her soft lips, letting out a sigh in relief when she didn't pull back but answered him as she reciprocated the kiss, her lips pressing harder on his as she wrapped her arms around his neck, her hands getting lost in his hair, pulling him closer. Her tongue gliding over his bottom lip asking for entrance, his tongue finding hers in a moment of passion and love.

After what seemed like forever, Caleb pulled back from their kiss and glanced towards her bedroom. Not sure how far she was willing to take this but not ready to have Emily walk into them either.

"Should we move to my bedroom?" Hanna asked, seeing the hesitation in his eyes.

His kiss was her answer as they slowly made their way to her bedroom, stumbling into the coffee table in the process.

Reaching the bed, he gently laid Hanna down as he followed her onto the covers, continuing their long drawn out kisses, loving the feeling of her beneath him. Her blonde hair splayed out on the pillow, her hands in his hair and her alluring smell were awakening all his senses.

He didn't dare to try and test her boundaries, making sure to take things slow but he couldn't help himself when his hands travelled over her top and cupped her breast through the material as their kisses rapidly grew more urgent.

He let an involuntary moan escape his lips as Hanna tangled her tongue with his. She relaxed in Caleb's embrace, roaming her hands in his hair, trying to relay all her feelings for him in their kiss.

Hanna moved her hands slowly from his hair to his shoulders, down to his chest feeling the hard muscles through the thin material of his shirt. She reached the bottom of his shirt, snaking her hands underneath and running her fingertips over the hard muscles of his abdomen, loving the way they felt underneath her fingertips, tracing her hands over his back before digging her nails in the flesh as she felt him grind his hips at her.

Caleb couldn't help himself, he was trying to go as slow as possible, but with every lasting second of their kiss and every gentle touch to his skin, his resistance was tested to new levels. He felt Hanna's nails move over his back, going lower and lower until they found the waistband of his jeans. She sneaked her hands underneath the material, squeezing as she moaned slightly into his mouth when he grasped at her covered breasts. Hanna shifted slightly, her hand moving to his front until she found his cock, cupping him through his boxers.

"Shit Hanna." He said in a strangled groan, grinding himself into her hand as she squeezed him softly through his jeans.

He moved his mouth onto her neck, leaving a wet trail of open-mouthed kisses as his hands made their way underneath her top, stroking her soft skin and groaning louder when he realised she wasn't wearing a bra. He cupped both breasts and started rubbing her nipples, smiling when they hardened at his touch. Hanna gasped loudly his tongue flicked over her nipples, tantalizing the flesh and she arched her back and took off her top, needing to feel Caleb closer to her.

Caleb trailed his kisses up to her neck and found a spot on her neck, sucking on her pulse point, with every intention to leave a mark. One of his hands ghosted over her chest, down to her toned stomach and her waist, moving further down until he managed to hook his hand behind her knee, wrapping her leg around his waist, bringing their bodies even closer. He could feel the heat between Hanna's legs against his throbbing cock as her hand moved from between them and down to his shirt.

Her lips left his as she hurriedly lifted his shirt off his body, her eyes traveling hungrily over his exposed abs before hungrily attacking his lips. Her hands started fumbling with the button on his jeans before she managed to yank it open and pushed it as far down as she could as she could. Caleb wriggled out of his jeans as Hanna pushed down his boxers as well.

Caleb sat up slightly and rid himself of his clothes before looking down at Hanna. Her eyes dark and heavily lidded as she glanced down at him, a noticeable blush to her cheeks, her chest rising heavily from anticipation. He answered her pursed lips with a searing kiss, no longer able to contain his lust for her and removing her jeans in a swift motion. His eyes traveling over her body as she lay there waiting for him.

He shifted down on the bed, teasing her with kisses all over her body until and kissed her behind her knee, knowing it would drive her crazy. And then he slowly started trailing kisses up to her legs and thighs, his hands roaming her body, her taste and scent hypnotising.

He glanced at her as he slowly crept to his destination, her head arched backwards and eyes closed, her hips unconsciously arched towards his face. He licked the inside of her thigh before slowly removing her lacy underwear, his rapid warm breath on her skin before he moved his mouth onto her center, a loud drawn out moan filled the room as his tongue swirled around her clit in small circles. Magical tension built up inside Hanna, she tugged at his hair to keep him in place. Hanna thought she would lose it completely when he pushed two fingers inside of her.

Hanna's breaths became more rapid and the sounds from her mouth grew louder. Caleb could feel Hanna tensing around his fingers and pumped his fingers harder into her as he drew her little bud into his mouth and sucked in it gently, crashing Hanna over the edge, her body tensing and quivering as she rode out wave after wave of her orgasm, leaving her breathless and weak.

Caleb wiped his mouth on the sheet before he moved back on top of her leaning on his elbows as he positioned himself at her entrance, forcing himself to look into her eyes, making sure she wanted this as much as he did.

Her passionate kiss was answer enough.

He swallowed her blissful cry when he slid slowly into her, her tightness and warmth surrounding him. He stilled himself for a moment, arms trembling as he fought to keep himself still, letting Hanna adjust to him before he pulled out of her and rocked back into her, causing her to gasp at the sensation.

"Caleb, please." Hanna begged, her nails digging into his back urging him on to continue. He pulled nearly all the way out of her before rocking back in again, his own moan driving her hips up to meet his next time he thrust into her. They found a rhythm together, encouraged by her legs wrapped around him as he sped up his pace. Slamming harder into her, her moans egging him on.

"God Caleb," she moaned into his neck, holding him as close as possible, her breath ragged and her movements becoming increasingly erratic before she gasped loudly and her whole body tensed up around him before releasing on a sigh. His movements speeding up as she clenched around him until he felt his cock pulsing inside of her.

They rode out their orgasms together, hearts racing as one, hot breaths against each others skin, their chests heaving in unison. Caleb kissed her softly before moving himself out of her, pulling her with him as he laid back down against the damp sheets.

"Fucking hell that was amazing!" He chuckled.

"I missed this." Hanna concurred.

"Me too Han." He said cuddling her closer to him, however she still shivered.

"Are you cold?" He asked as he watched her nod. He could have known. She was always cold. He rolled over onto his stomach and reached for his shirt. His eyes falling on the box on the floor. He remembered shoving something off the bed when he laid Hanna down, but never paid attention to what it was. He picked a few items and rolled back towards Hanna, handing her the shirt.

Hanna gratefully accepted his shirt and he noticed she brought the material close to her face and inhaled deeply before cuddling back into him.

"What are you doing?" Caleb laughed at her antics.

"Smelling you, I missed wearing your shirts. Makes me feel closer to you. "

"I am right here. He laughed and kissed her. And I am not going anywhere."

Hanna smiled up at him, moving in to kiss him again when something in his hand caught her eye.

"What's that?"

Caleb held up the silver item in his hand and gave it to Hanna.

"That is very beautiful." Hanna gushed, was that Jasmine's?"

"Yeah, he admitted embarrassed. I was being a bit enthusiastic back then you know. I bought it the moment we agreed to tell our parents."

"I kept that and a lot of other things of her thinking if I'd ever see you again you'd like to have some of her keepsakes."

"But then when Brent and Joanne were expecting Cal I tried to give it to them because I wanted to give them something meaningful. Something they couldn't afford at the time because they were still struggling and I wanted their baby to have something special, but they refused to take it. Joanne told me she could tell that I had bought it for someone special, because no person in their right mind would buy a silver baby rattle if the baby wasn't special to them. That's how she figured things out about Jasmine."

"I always wondered how she knew. Is that why he was named after you?" Hanna asked, she had wondered this the moment she heard Joanne call out for little Caleb but never had the guts to ask. They had been a part of Caleb's life, not hers.

"Yes he is named after me." Caleb said proudly with a smile on his face.

"I'm his godfather, but his name is actually not Caleb, it's Anthony. His second name is Caleb. When he was a baby he used to cry a lot and Joanne tried to shush him all the time, calling him by his name and telling him things would be okay. Then one day she called him by his full name which finally quieted him. So that's how they ended up calling him Caleb more regularly because for some strange reason it calmed him down and now it's Cal or little Caleb."

Caleb glanced at the rattle in Hanna's hand and looked down at the framed picture in his.

"I guess with people knowing now, I can put this back one back on my nightstand." He said holding up the photo of their first ultrasound. It had always been on his nightstand in New York.

"I think you should. Emily found that one earlier and Spencer and my mom know as well. So will Ted by now so there is only Aria and the guys to tell."

"How did your mom react?"

"She was pretty upset, she made me promise to confide in her sooner in the future because she feels like she should have been there for me. For us." Hanna said looking up at Caleb.

"Your mom would worry about the both of us. He said smiling back.

"So will your mom Caleb, will you tell her as well?"

"Hmm, yeah I will tell her soon." Caleb said lazily, moving around on his side to face Hanna, placing his hand on her hip, stroking the skin absentmindedly. He looked at her for a moment and and furrowed his eyebrows as if there was another question on the verge of spilling out.

"What?"

Caleb smiled at Hanna, pecking her lips before lying on his back again, pulling her with him and hugging her close. Burying his face in her hair and letting out a content sigh.

"Have I told you how much I love you?"

He could feel Hanna smiling against his chest before she replied.

"I'm pretty sure I love you more." Hanna replied.

"Impossible." Caleb said, kissing the top of her head and closing his eyes, drifting into a content sleep for the first time in years.

He was finally home.
