Hanna Rivers was ill.
For the first time in six years, she was awoken by the feeling of nausea and had zero energy to even manoeuvre herself up and out of the bed, let alone go to work. She felt the bed next to her and realised that Caleb had already gone to work, then she remembered him waking her up like every time he had early working hours, by kissing her and telling her that he was leaving and she just shrugged at him, not even saying bye or that she loved him, she was not a very nice person, nor wife when she was ill, she grunted and rolled to the other side of the bed to reach for her phone and clicked on Spencer's contact, after a few minutes she picked up
"Hey Han" she answered happily, she was always a morning person and it was so annoying, especially when Hanna was feeling this groggy
"I'm ill" she moaned, not seeing a reason to continue, that was until the line was quiet for ten seconds "sooo..I can't possibly come to work, because I'll scare the customers, and I don't feel like interacting with snobs all day"
Spencer scrunched her face up and laughed down the phone to her grumpy yet hilarious friend "okay, no worries, I know you're a bitch" Hanna rolled her eyes at her friends rudeness and then felt a wave of sickness come over her
"Shit" she gaged and dropped her phone onto the carpet of her bedroom as she ran into their en suite to puke up her guts, leaning over the toilet seat. A few minutes later she walked back into her room and picked her phone off the floor to see that Spencer had hung up, and left her a message
guessing you had to puke, I'll get Sarah to do all your work today
Hanna thought spencer was being rude, she had to add in the sentence about Sarah doing her work for to make her feel bad, she couldn't help being ill and Spencer was just trying to wind her up. Also, the fact that Caleb was working all day and couldn't look after her was also bothering her, she was in a bad mood and he hadn't even texted her asking her if she was ok, he was also being rude and she didn't have time to call him and complain, because he would annoy her even more. In fact, anyone who wasn't ill would have annoyed her, so she decided to lay in bed and stare into space for the whole day, letting her mind wonder, but everything she thought about she focused on the negatives.
God knows how long she had been doing it for, but Hanna was now thinking of her dad and how useless he was, she thought back to when she was facing a prison sentence for murder and he didn't even visit her once, how he just left her, all these things where making her stomach churn even more, and she found herself yet again sprinting into the bathroom and throwing up yet again, over and over, she didn't know what she was throwing up by now, she was sure all her meals yesterday had come back up. She climbed up from where she was kneeling over the toilet and opened the bathroom cabinet to see if she could spot anything that could help her, and that's when her eyes locked on an unopened tampon box, she hadn't got her period this month, and now all the sickness, her and Caleb had been very active lately as well
"shit" she muttered as she placed her head in her hands, her body began to shake and it wasn't long before she was crying hysterically at the thoughts going round in her head, she had wanted a baby for so long but now, she could be pregnant, and it was all seeming so real, she was only twenty four, she didn't know anything about parenting, sure her and Caleb had looked after a one month old Jacques for one night when Ezra and Aria went to celebrate his new book release but, with her own kid, she couldn't just hand it back like she could with Jacques. Caleb hadn't had a mother or father figure growing up either, and that could either be a good thing, he would give his son or daughter the most attention and make sure that they would be the happiest child ever, or it would be a bad thing because he would have honestly no idea how to parent and how to say no to a crying baby, and that he could just walk out whenever "this can't be happening"
After what felt like a whole day of sitting with her back against the bath tub, Hanna realised that she didn't even know if she was pregnant for sure yet, she needed to find out now, her mind needed to stop wondering and she needed to know if she was going to be a mom in nine short months, she quickly got dressed and headed down to the pharmacy and grabbed as many tests as she could find, but she couldn't do it on her own, so after the cashier wished her good luck she headed straight to the store to find Spencer, walking into the store with a tear stained face and puffy red eyes, she was surprised she hadn't crashed the car at some point, or scared some of the customers away as she slumped herself into the store
"Spencer" Hanna desperately cried as she entered the relatively busy store, not caring about all the starring customers as she shouted for Spencer again as she went to back towards her office, she opened the glass door to see Spencer hard at work with her eyes focused on her computer screen "spence" she softly said as she ran delicately over to her smart friend as she held her arms out to hug her
"Han what's the matter honey" she asked stroking her head as she sobbed into her shoulder and didn't answer, flinging her arms around her friends neck as she sobbed even louder "what's going on" she asked again hoping to get an answer out of her friend as Hanna pulled away and sat on the chair the other side of the desk
"I'm probably overreacting, I don't even know for sure - they're in the bag, but..I don't want to be alone" she stuttered out, not being able to form a full sentence and Spencer had a more than confused look on her face "I think..I think I might be..um pregnant"
Spencer finally realised what her blonde friend was talking about as she grabbed the paper bag and saw around ten pregnancy tests in there "you do realise you don't need that many" she laughed as Hanna's mouth curled up into a smile for the first time that day
"I wanted to be sure, like really sure"
"Han, you said it yourself to Aria when she went crazy after she found out about Jacques, even if you are pregnant, which you don't know for sure, it can never be a bad thing" Spencer said as she sat up from where she was sitting to kneel in front of Hanna
"I guess when your mom marries a pastor you begin to see everything as a gift from God" she laughed back at her, as her nerves finally started to die down "and I mean, this is kinda semi planned anyway"
"Exactly, so move ur ass into there, and remember, I'm here, whatever the outcome" Spencer explained as she moved out of Hanna's way and opened her offices toilet door "wait gulp this down first" she added handing a nervous Hanna a big glass full of water and saw the all to familiar panicked look on Hanna's face "all you have to do is pee on a stick" she reminded her as Hanna headed towards the toilet
Ten minutes later, Hanna came back out the toilet with the tests wrapped in tissue all in her hands, she laid them out on Spencer's desk on top of a tray and they sat in complete silence starring at the tests before Spencer's alarm went off "do I have to check now, can I just wait until I don't feel like hyperventilating"
"Do it whenever you feel like it, but while you wait, think of everything good that you and Caleb have been through, not any of the things that cause doubts" Spencer explained knowing exactly how Hanna's mind worked and hanna nodded back at her "even when he was sleeping in your basement, or your wedding day, the first time you told him you love him" Hanna's smile grew and grew as Spencer recalled all the things she was aware Caleb had done for Hanna and she realised how perfect they were
"I'm ready" she grinned as she flipped over the pregnancy tests one at a time, first one pregnant, Hanna didn't even look back up at Spencer before flipping over nine positive pregnancy tests, now she was onto the last one, Hanna looked up at Spencer with the biggest smile on her face "this is it" she said as she flipped over yet another pregnancy test "pregnant" Hanna squealed as she began to tear up yet again "Spencer" she cried "this is happening, I'm a mom" she cried out happily bringing Spencer in for a tight hug
"Han this is amazing" Spencer gushed as she clinged onto Hanna as much as she was her "go, go now and tell Caleb" she quickly said with the biggest smile on her face
"I can surprise him, at his work, quickly pass me the tests" Hanna rushed as she wrapped all the tests together and placed them lightly at the top of her bag, grabbing a plastic case from Spencer's desk to put around them "Spencer I love you so much, thank you, thank you, thank you" Hanna said over and over again as Spencer led them outside the store and watched as Hanna drove off on her way to Philly, she was honestly so ecstatic for her new life challenge.
Hanna arrived at Caleb's work an hour later, the smile still plastered onto her face, as she practically jumped out her car and skipped towards his office building, and approached the friendly looking desk assistant "hello, I'm here to see Caleb Rivers" she told the woman "I don't have an appointment, but just say it's Hanna"
"of course, the wife, I thought I revcognised you from his office pictures, right this way" Hanna smiled at the young man and he nodded and walked to a long hall and pointed a finger towards the corridor which Hanna knew led to his office, she practically spirited down
"Babe, what are you doing here" caleb asked as she saw Hanna approaching his office through the large glass window, he recognised the smile plastered on her face and she jumped into his arms as he opened the door for her, wrapping her legs around his waist and pressing a hard kiss against his mouth, as her fingers intertwined in his hair "Han we already did this in your office remember" he chucked as he kissed her neck
"I'm not here for that" she answered as she hopped down and sat at his desk "sit" she ordered, and the man obeyed her order and sat down at his office chair "I have something to show you" she added as she smiled flashing him her white perfect teeth and cute dimples, God he honestly thought she was the most beautiful thing ever, as he watched her dig into her purse with anticipation as she pulled out a bundle of toilet tissue
"Tissues?" He asked confused but then he continued to watch her movements and she placed a column of tissues into ten separate pieces, he was was more and more confused, and the fact Hanna was keeping quiet with a toothy smile throughout all of it was making him more and more tense, as he started to tap his foot impatiently waiting for her to reveal whatever it was
"Ready?" She asked smiling up to him and he quickly nodded, she unwrapped all ten tests one at a time as Caleb's mind finally began to register what was happening as he saw the plus signs and the word pregnant and 1-3 months light up across the screen of multiple tests, every one out of ten was a positive pregnancy test, Caleb was going to be a dad, and Hanna was going to be the mother of that child, no one and nothing could wipe the smile of his face as he stared at the tests in ore of them, and Hanna watched him, like he was previously watching her, as he kept smiling at them clearly registering what was happening, and the he was sharing this amazing experience with his wife.
"I'm gonna be a dad" he let out after a few minutes of being lost for words "we're having a baby Hanna" he added as his smile grew "we did it" he shouted in joy as tears were threatening to pour out of his eyes "I love you Hanna, so so much" Caleb stood up immediately and so did Hanna as he walked round and grabbed her face and pulled her in for a deep kiss, he didn't care where they were, he was honestly the happiest man alive, as he brought his tongue to enter her mouth and he didn't want to ever pull his lips of hers as both of them allowed the tears to flow down their cheeks as he pulled away and pecked her lips over and over again before smiling down to her
"I love you too, by the way" she laughed as he pulled her in for a warm and long hug, and she needed it after the stressful day she had endured "this whole thing, it's crazy isn't it, in less than nine months, there's gonna be a mini you or mini me" she cried into his shoulder her words slightly muffled both my her tears and Caleb's suit
"Come on, let's get out of here" he said he used his staff card to clock out "I'm the boss anyway, and my wife's fucking pregnant" he laughed as he kissed her forehead, and snaked his arm around her waist, now he knew she was carrying his unborn baby, he needed to be very protective of her, touching her at all times and make sure she didn't get hurt at all "I'll just go let the receptionist know that I won't be in my meeting" he said as they headed towards the exit of the building "we will take your car, we can pick mine up tomorrow babe" and she nodded in return to his statement, both of the pair felt the need to celebrate and with all the thigh rubs in the car that sometimes would go a little too far to tease each other was telling them that they couldn't wait, and the fact that Hanna was carrying his child, turned him on even more.
They burst through the door of their home and slammed it shut as caleb pinned her against the back of it and pulled her coat off of her, as their lips continued to kiss each other, and they kicked their shoes off eagerly, and Caleb grabbed Hanna and brought her legs up to his waist allowing him to carry her up the stairs, Hannas favourite thing was when Caleb went dominant in a make out and took control of her body like she was as light as a feather and once they got to their master bedroom, lay her on the bed beneath him and placed each of his knees in line with her hips "is this ok, you know, the baby" caleb asked, after the thought crossed his mind, he was honestly clueless
"God yes, Caleb" Hanna answered as connected their lips again, slightly amused that her husband was so clever yet so dumb when it came to babies, he had a lot to learn, Hanna's train of thought was broken as Caleb wasted no time in entering his tongue as they fought for dominance between each other and she starting undoing his skirt buttons as he pulled it off himself once she was done, he brought his hands to cub her face and kissed her once again letting his tongue slide in as both his hands travelled to her waist and pulled her top over her head, breaking their kiss briefly, and then he stopped everything and starred at her still flat and toned stomach as ghosted his fingers over it bringing the biggest smile to both of their faces, as she placed her hands on top of his, and after a moment of Hanna starring into his dark brown orbs and Caleb starring into Hanna's ice blue, taking the time to think about what they had made together and the love that both of them shared with their baby already, as they then continued their previous antics.
Afterwards, they lay naked and sweaty, Hanna curled up into Caleb's side with their legs intertwined "you do realise we have to celebrate properly right, I'm gonna take you to dinner tonight" Caleb said as more of a fact than a suggestion and Hanna nodded back at him, still too worn out to reply, as her brews grew heavier and heavier "princess" he called as he kissed the top of her head lovingly, he honestly couldn't think he could love her anymore then he did this morning but now, he never wanted to leave her side ever, and he bit his lip just thinking about how madly in love with her he still was, he honestly felt like no one in the entire world could be happier than him right now.
So they're having a baby, let me know of any name suggestions and if you want a girl or boy, I already have an idea but it's not set in stone yet. Hope you enjoyed, review please x
