AN: Here's a new chapter. It's kind of fluffy but there will be some good Spencer drama.
I stared intently into Caleb's eyes. He stood in front of me and all of our closest friends and family as we made a new commitment to each other. I took a second to look around and see my mom holding Roxi who is about to turn a year old. Jackson sat on the ground next to her playing with two toy trucks and rolling them all over the floor. Then I turned back to Caleb to exchange vows.
"I promise," he said, "to love you unconditionally through the good times and the bad. Hanna, you're the first person I ever truly loved and you will be the last."
"Caleb," I said fighting back tears of happiness. "I want you to be a part of my life forever. I want to be there when you're happy and when you're sad. I love you."
He smiled and grabbed my waist with one hand before leaving a leaning down to my level and kissing me softly. I kissed him back with a smile plastered across my face and pulled him close to hear an uproar of cheers and applause from our friends. When we finally pulled away, I turned to all of the people that came to support us.
"We'd like to thank all of you," Caleb said speaking to them, "for being here to help us celebrate our fifth anniversary. Please stay for dinner and drinks."
I grabbed Caleb's hand and we walked over to where our friends were sitting at various tables in the backyard. I picked up Roxi to give my mom a break and then looked over to find Spencer practically sitting in Hardy's lap.
"How's Toby?" I whispered to Caleb as we sat down.
"He's not taking it well," Caleb answered. "He didn't even want to come today. Gave me some excuse about going to visit his parents which we all know isn't true."
"Poor guy," I sighed as I watched Spencer and Hardy made out like teenagers.
"Hey," Emily said tapping me shoulder. "I need to talk to you."
"About what?" I asked.
"Can we go somewhere?" she said. "This might not be the best time but, you need to know."
"Yeah," I replied placing Roxi in Caleb's arms. I took her hand and we went down to the basement where no one was around. I sat down across from her and poured us each a glass of champagne. "What's wrong?"
"Samara and I," she explained. "We're trying to have a baby."
"That's great!" I smiled giving her a hug.
"No," she said slowly. "Well, it is...but...Samara...she got pregnant but then she lost the baby. Now we're both undergoing treatment..."
"Oh no," I breathed. "Is she okay?"
"She's recovered now," Emily replied, "but it was kind of a shock to both of us."
"Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked her.
"There is, actually," Emily informed me. "In order for it to work, the doctor says I'm going to need to take more days off for appointments and therapy."
"Of course," I said quickly. "We can rework your schedule and I'll do anything I can to make it easier on you."
"Thanks!" Emily smiled giving me a hug. "Thank you for being so understanding."
I smiled and grabbed her hand leading her back to the ground floor where everyone was laughing and mingling. Emily and I grabbed some food and sauntered back to our table only to be interrupted by the loudest sound of broken china. I looked up to find Spencer and Hardy bickering.
"How can you be so insensitive?" she yelled at him.
"Don't be like this," he retorted.
"Be like what?" she asked. "Myself?"
"Come on," he replied. "You know what I mean."
"No," she said. "I don't. What do you mean?"
It literally went on and on like that until he finally called her out for still being in love with Toby and then she realized that she really is still in love with him so she gave him a slap across the face and sent him on his way.
"Woah," Emily breathed when she saw what happened.
"I'll go see if she's okay," I said getting up but Aria beat me to it.
"No," Emily told me. "I don't think we should bombard her right now."
"You're right," I replied turning back to the table.
"Promise me we won't be like that?" Caleb whispered in my ear.
"I promise," I laughed giving him a quick kiss.
"I love you," he smiled putting an arm around me.
"This is beautiful," I told Caleb as I sat between his knees. The two of us were sitting poolside at a resort in San Diego.
"Not as beautiful as you," he smiled.
"Caleb," I laughed, "that's the corniest line in the book."
"I know," he smiled, "but it's still kind of fitting."
"I wonder how the kids are doing," I said pulling my phone out of my beach bag. "Maybe I should call my mom."
"No," Caleb grabbed the phone from my hands. "This is our honeymoon. Today we have no kids."
"I love your wishful thinking," I told him, "but I really do need to check up on them. Excuse me for a minute."
I walked away to find a quiet place and dialed my mom.
"Hanna," she said cheerily. "How's the second honeymoon?"
"Better than the first," I told her. "I'm glad we didn't repeat the Alaskan cruise. How are the kids?"
"They're great," my mom replied. "Roxi is napping right now and Jack's at a playdate with Aria's kids but I'll have them call you later."
"Thanks Mom," I said. "How about you? You good?"
"I'm great," she answered. "I'm just enjoying a little downtime and fixing my pedicure."
"Ok good," I said. "Take care."
"Bye," she said just before I hung up and sauntered back to Caleb.
"How are the kids?" he asked as I took my seat next to him.
"Good," I told him.
"I'm glad," he smiled. Then he turned to me. "Have I ever told you that I love you?"
"Not in the last ten minutes," I laughed.
"Well, Hanna Marin, hyphen, Rivers," he said. "I love you more than anything in this world."
