Hello hello hello… I'm sorry it took me a while to update again, but here I am! Thank you as always for your lovely reviews on the last chapter. I'm kinda feeling a bit unmotivated to write Haleb at the minute with all that's going on in 6B; 6x14 actually gave me a teeny tiny little bit of hope for some reason, but it was kinda snatched away again in 6x15. I still have faith in Haleb though. Anyway, I've already done a Christmas chapter and a New Year chapter, so why not write a birthday chapter too? Enjoy!

Nineteen

"Mmmmmmm," Hanna groaned, half asleep as she felt a light tickle against the tip of her nose. Scrunching her features up and making some sort of mumbling noise, she brought her arm to her head, only to have it flop back down onto the pillow beside her.

Caleb chuckled and kissed her on the nose again, his face hovering over hers as he stroked stray strands of blonde hair away from her eyes with one hand.

"Hey sleepyhead," He whispered softly against her ear, pausing and then quickly looking up to check whether she'd opened her eyes or not, "Wake up, it's somebody's birthday."

Hanna's sleepy pout turned into a slight smile and her eyes began to flutter as she attempted to wake herself up, which was not an easy feat to accomplish when she was this warm and comfy and her boyfriend was slowly stroking her cheek with his thumb.

"It's still my birthday if we stay in bed, right?" She whined, turning her head towards Caleb as her eyes finally decided that it was time for them to open, "We could just have another one of our naked days."

"Hm, I think we had enough naked time last night," Caleb teased with one eyebrow raised, running his hand over her bare stomach to emphasise his point.

Hanna grinned, "No amount of naked time is ever enough naked time."

Reciprocating her smile, Caleb leant down to peck her lips and wrap his arm around her back, before settling down and pulling her into him so that she was laying with her head on his chest. He couldn't help kissing her again when she looked up at him with wide eyes, and that adorable smile, and those damn dimples that never failed to make him grin from ear to ear. The kiss was deeper than the last and he could feel Hanna moan into his mouth when he gently bit her bottom lip, bringing his hand up to hold the back of her head as she brought hers up to cup his jaw.

When they finally pulled away, Hanna nuzzled her face down into his neck, pressing kisses against his warm skin and closing her eyes again. Caleb wrapped both arms securely around her waist and stroked her hip gently with his thumb as they both lay listening to the sound of the other's breathing.

"Happy birthday, beautiful."

It came out of nowhere and Hanna couldn't help herself as she smiled against his neck, slowly turning herself over to lean on her elbows so that she could look at him properly. She ran her hand over the stubble on his jaw before it crept into his hair and she nudged her nose against his, "Thanks, handsome," She beamed, before her face suddenly fell, "I just hate that I'm a year older now."

Caleb raised an eyebrow at that, a questioning look on his face, "Han, you're nineteen, that's hardly old."

"Maybe not," She began, "But next year I'm gonna be twenty. T-w-e-n-t-y. And don't even get me started on turning thirty in like ten ye-"

Before she could wind herself up any more, Caleb pressed a hard kiss against her lips and brought her body back down to his, pushing their naked chests against one another. Hanna pulled away after a while and pushed her lips together, a light pink blush creeping onto her cheeks, "Thanks."

Caleb could only shake his head at her amusedly as she resumed her position on his chest, staring up at the ceiling thoughtfully. He could tell she wanted to say something by the way that she kept opening her mouth a little and then closing it, almost as if she was deciding whether to speak or not, but he decided not to push her on it.

Just when he was about to ask her what she was thinking about after a good ten minutes of silence, her face turned towards his and she asked something that he was definitely not expecting, "Have you ever thought about having kids?"

"Why, are you pregnant?" Caleb mused, unsure of what she was getting at. He began to get a little worried when Hanna responded with nothing more than a giggle, his voice turning serious all of a sudden, "You're not, right?"

Hanna reached up to slap his cheek lightly, "No, definitely not pregnant," She cleared her throat, "Just wanted to know what you thought about it."

"Well, what made you bring it up?" Caleb enquired, genuinely curious now.

"It sounds dumb but…" She began as Caleb rubbed her arm up and down, encouraging her to continue, "When you woke me up and said happy birthday and all that, I couldn't help but think about what it would be like if we had a kid and it was their birthday. Imagine buying them presents, and having a little baby party, and us all waking up and snuggling in bed together in the morning."

Realising that she was beginning to ramble, Hanna looked up so that her eyes met Caleb's, and she instantly registered the upturn at one corner of his mouth, "You think I'm crazy, don't you?"

"Not crazy, just adorable," He reassured her, "And of course I wanna have babies with you, someday."

Hanna broke into the biggest smile he'd ever seen at hearing his words, flinging her arms around his neck and moving so that she was now laying completely on top of him, "You've thought about it before?"

Caleb loved how happy this was making her, and couldn't even hide how happy it was making him too, "Maybe."

Bringing her face right down to his, Hanna gave him a series of quick pecks; they were definitely meant to be longer kisses, but she couldn't quite finish any of them because of the huge grin plastered across her face, "You totally have."

Caleb, now blushing slightly, decided that he needed to change the subject before she realised, "So uh, do you really have to go for lunch with the girls today?"

Hanna immediately knew that he was trying to get away from the topic of babies – it was so cute when he got embarrassed like that – but she decided to go with it, "Yes Caleb!" She laughed, sitting up on his stomach, "They've come to all the way to New York to see me, I'm not just gonna blow them off."

She couldn't help but feel a little bit bad when he gave her his best sad pout in return, "I promise we won't be too long though."

"So what did he make you for breakfast this morning?" Spencer probed – this lunch was quickly turning into an interrogation, "Does he make you breakfast every morning? Do you eat together? Ooh ooh! Does he cook it shirtless?"

Hanna rolled her eyes and shook her head as Spencer wiggled her eyebrows at her, "Why do I feel like I'm being questioned?" She paused dramatically as the girls waited for her answer, "But yes, he cooks shirtless."

"Saucy," Laughed Aria, raising one eyebrow for effect and prompting the other girls to burst into fits of giggles. It had only been about six months that she and Caleb had been living in New York, but Hanna missed moments like these a lot, and decided then that she'd definitely make an effort to see her friends more often.

"Not this morning though," She announced, interjecting their laughter, "We just laid in bed all morning having naked time."

Hanna had the desired effect on the girls as they all adopted looks of mild disgust, Emily shaking her head as she looked down at the table, "I really didn't need to know that."

"You two spend your life in that bed, I'm surprised you made it here without a naked Caleb," Spencer added, only half joking, "I kinda expected you to turn up with him hidden under your jacket or something."

Hanna laughed along with the others, but there was some truth to what they were saying – she'd only been away from Caleb for about an hour and she was already starting to miss his company. Looking down at her phone, she saw that she had two unread messages from him, and couldn't help herself when she started smiling at the screen.

"Uh oh," Began Aria, startling Hanna slightly, "Han's smiling at her crotch again."

"I am not smiling at my crotch, thanks," Argued Hanna, waving her phone in front of their faces to reiterate her point, "I just got a text."

"From the naked breakfast chef?" Mocked Spencer, earning a giggle from Emily.

Hanna couldn't help but smirk at that, "Yes, from the naked breakfast chef," She confirmed, entering her passcode so that she could read her messages from Caleb, "And he says he misses me."

Actually, the exact wordings of the texts were, 'I miss youuuuuu' and 'Come back so we can have more naked time :(', but Hanna didn't really feel like that was necessary information.

"You two are inseparable," Spencer laughed.

"I think it's adorable," Emily added in an attempt to reassure Hanna, "There's nothing wrong with wanting to spend time together."

Hanna wasn't really listening as she typed out her reply to Caleb, 'I'll be back soon, having fun with the girls but missing our naked time too xx'. She looked up to see the others staring at her, "Huh?"

"I said," Spencer began, "Have you decided what you want to order yet, you know, aside from Caleb?"

Hanna let out a loud, fake laugh and reached across to grab Spencer's menu from her hands, "Haha, very funny," She deadpanned, "And no, I haven't."

Two hours later and the girls were walking out of the restaurant, having finished their food and paid. After the topic of Hanna and Caleb and their ever-growing attachment to each other had finally been dropped, the conversation had turned to college, and they'd spent the rest of their time discussing everything that had changed in their lives in the six months that they'd been apart.

"We can't leave it this long before we see each other again, ok?" Emily declared, as she stepped forward to hug Hanna, "I missed all your faces too much."

"Definitely not," Spencer agreed, as Aria reached into her bag to pull her phone out.

"I want a photo before we go, quick," She demanded, trying to stretch her arm out in front of her to fit all four girls into the picture, "Someone else take it, my arms are too short."

"Ooh, Caleb can do it!" Emily chirped, pointing straight ahead of them.

Parked up at the side of the road, Caleb was leaning with his back against the car, grinning from ear to ear as he caught Hanna's gaze. Before the other girls could even register what she was doing, Hanna had already taken off and was beside her boyfriend in a matter of seconds, flinging her arms around his neck and kissing him hard on the lips.

"Or Hanna could make out with Caleb and we could just take a photo next time we get together," Concluded Aria, shaking her head in amusement.

The kiss quickly turned a lot deeper and soon Hanna was pressed up against the car, prompting Spencer to wolf whistle as she walked up to the couple.

"Please keep this interaction PG for the sake of pedestrians," She teased, raising her eyebrows as Hanna and Caleb pulled away from each other, both looking giddy and only slightly embarrassed.

Hanna made a shooing motion with her hand, "Leave me alone, it's my birthday."

The girls all laughed and smothered both her and Caleb with bear hugs, before leaving Hanna with some final 'happy birthday's and 'I'll miss you's, and heading back to their cars.

"That went by so fast," Sighed Hanna, leaning back against the car with her arms folded as she watched the three of them walk away, "I miss them already."

Caleb turned around to face her and took her hands in his, "You'll see them again soon Han, and I'm pretty sure you FaceTime Emily at least ten times a day."

Hanna smiled at that, "Ok, it's not quite ten times a day," She leaned in and pressed a gentle kiss against his lips before pulling away slightly to whisper, "So where are you taking me for my birthday?"

Stepping back to give her enough room, Caleb pulled the car door open with one hand and motioned for Hanna to enter with the other, "You'll see in about… twenty-five minutes."

Hanna gave a little squeak of excitement before following Caleb's directions and getting into the car, immediately interlinking her fingers with his as he started the engine. They drove in silence for the majority of the journey, making little bits of small talk every so often, but mostly just enjoying each others company. By the time they arrived, Hanna was drifting in and out of consciousness as she lay with her head back against the seat, her hand still in Caleb's and her hair blowing around her face as a soft breeze whistled in through the open window.

Parking the car up, Caleb brought Hanna's hand up to his lips and kissed her knuckles gently, "Han baby, we're here."

Hanna's eyes flew open immediately, and Caleb could have sworn that her head almost turned a full three hundred and sixty degrees as she tried to figure out where they were.

She turned to face Caleb with a puzzled look on her face, "What is this place?"

He chuckled at her impatience, "You have to actually get out of the car to find out, come on."

Hanna felt like a giddy five-year-old as she practically leapt out of the car and skipped up to Caleb, grabbing his hand and giving him the cheesiest smile she could muster, "I think I know where we are, I've seen pictures."

"You do?"

Hanna nodded her head furiously, "Yep, remember, I said I wanted to visit when we first moved here?"

Caleb laughed as he began walking them forwards towards the entrance, "Why do you think I chose this place? I do listen to you, you know," Hanna raised her eyebrows at him, "Usually."

The couple walked hand in hand up to the gates that lead into the Brooklyn Botanic Garden – a beautiful green landscape dotted with blooming cherry trees, and quaint ponds, and serene walking paths that stretched for miles. They handed over the tickets that Caleb had bought in advance, and made their way through the arches into the main stretch of the garden.

Hanna audibly gasped at the sight, "Caleb, this is so beautiful," She reached up to peck him on the lips, "Thank you."

Stepping behind her, Caleb wrapped his arms around Hanna's middle and rested his chin on her shoulder, "You're so welcome," He whispered into her ear as they clumsily began to walk forward, their legs tangling together a little and their fingers intertwined on Hanna's stomach.

They walked like that for a good ten minutes, giggling, and kissing over Hanna's shoulder, and earning admiring stares from practically anyone who saw them. As they approached a wooden bench underneath a towering, pale pink blossom tree, Caleb untangled himself from Hanna and took her hand in his, leading her to sit down beside him. She gave him a questioning look, as if to ask him why they'd stopped, and he replied by taking a small, black box with a silver ribbon around it out of his coat pocket.

"Want your birthday present?"

Hanna clapped her hands enthusiastically as she practically bounced up and down on the seat, "Always."

Caleb handed Hanna the box and sat back in anticipation – he knew that she'd like what he'd bought for her, but he still couldn't help feeling a little nervous for some reason. He watched as she slowly untied the ribbon and then looked up at him with an excited grin on her face, lifting the corner of the lid up to peak at what was inside before giving up and taking it off completely. Inside the box sat a delicate silver necklace, a small silver heart pendant that perfectly reflected the bright midday sunlight attached to the chain. Hanna picked the charm up and carefully turned it over in her palm, revealing to herself an engraving that read 'HM & CR'.

She looked up at Caleb, tears beginning to well at the corners of her eyes, "You are the most wonderful person in the world, you know that?"

Caleb didn't even have time to respond as Hanna reached forward, running her hand through his hair and pressing a delicate kiss to his lips.

They pulled back slowly and Caleb couldn't help but reciprocate his girlfriend's smile, "You really like it?"

Hanna moved her face closer to his once again, "It's beautiful, thank you."

"You're so welcome," Caleb muttered, stroking her cheek with his thumb, "And I still have one more present to give you when we get home."

"She was!"

"Han, she was not."

Hanna sighed, shutting the door behind her as she and Caleb walked back into their apartment, "The waitress was definitely checking you out, she practically tried to take you home with her."

Caleb laughed, shaking his head, "You're being so paranoid."

Shrugging her coat off her shoulders and dumping her bag on the floor, Hanna snaked her arms around his waist and looked up at him with pouty lips, "It's not being paranoid when your boyfriend is this cute."

"Cute?"

"Yeah, I think you're pretty adorable."

Hanna stood up on her tiptoes and kissed Caleb slowly, pulling away for a second before going back in for another, deeper kiss. She felt him moan into her mouth when she trailed her tongue across his bottom lip, and his hands ran down so that they were resting on the small of her back.

Her lips still ghosting over his, Hanna opened her eyes and pressed her forehead against Caleb's, "Thank you for the amazing dinner."

"You're welcome beautiful," he replied softly, pressing a final gentle kiss to her lips, "Want your last birthday surprise now?"

Hanna gave him a look that said 'as if I'd ever say no to that', and Caleb simply pointed to their bedroom door in return, earning a raised eyebrow from his girlfriend.

"Go look," He affirmed, nodding his head.

Sitting on their plush double bed, nestled amongst the comforter was a big, pink, Victoria's Secret bag that immediately evoked a sideways smile from Hanna. She turned to face Caleb and stuck out her bottom lip, nodding her head in approval as she looked at the lacy black lingerie inside the bag, "Excellent choice of present."

Caleb mirrored her actions, nodding his head too, "I'm very glad you approve."

"I guess…" Hanna began, placing the bag back down onto the bed, "We'll just have to see if they fit."

With no warning at all, she began taking off her clothes until she was butt naked, and slowly pulled on the black panties and bra, never breaking eye contact with Caleb. By this time his eyes were practically bulging out of his head – he definitely didn't expect this reaction from Hanna, though he wasn't exactly complaining.

"I think it fits, don't you?" She teased, running her hands down her sides to emphasise the smooth curve of her waist.

Caleb gulped, "Uh yeah," He cleared his throat, taking a step towards her, "But I think I'd better check for you."

His arms snaked around Hanna's middle, stilling for a second before his hands ran down her back achingly slowly, until they were cupping her ass. He leaned in and pressed a probing kiss to her mouth, which lasted about a minute longer than he intended it to after he got a little distracted by her lips. Hanna giggled as he pulled away, and raised her eyebrow expectantly.

"Yeah, they definitely don't fit right, we're gonna need to take them off."

With one hand, Caleb undid the back of the bra and watched as it slipped off of Hanna's shoulders, leaving her standing half naked with a giddy smile on her face. Stripping out of her panties too, she stepped forward and practically jumped at Caleb, who picked her up and lowered her down onto the bed in response. Beginning at her neck, he peppered her body in warm, wet kisses that left her sighing as she tugged gently at his hair, moaning his name when he finally reached the apex of her legs.

She took a sharp breath in, "Oh my God Caleb."

Caleb smiled against her and continued his ministrations, running his tongue up and down as he quickly began to feel her get wetter. In no time at all she was practically writhing against him, gripping onto the sheets with both hands and moaning into the pillow beneath her head.

"Please don't stop."

Speeding his motions up, Caleb moved his hands to Hanna's breasts, stroking their undersides and flicking his fingers across her nipples until he could feel her body beginning to tense. Encouraging her with a hoarse moan against her skin, he continued to speed up and heard a string of groans, and sighs, and what he thought was supposed to be his name, pour from Hanna's mouth. Pressing a final kiss to her, he moved up her body and stroked the side of her mouth with his thumb as he waited for her to open her eyes.

Breathing heavily, and still with her eyes closed, Hanna reached up to put her hand on Caleb's jaw, "What are you doing? Why do you still have clothes on?"

Caleb chuckled to himself, "Hey it's ok, you're tired and it's your birthday, I just wanted it to be about you."

Opening her eyes and giving him a questioning look, Hanna removed her hand from his face, "It is about me," She confirmed, "And I want you naked."

"Well, if you say so."

Within about ten seconds flat, Caleb's clothes were off and he was back on top of Hanna, kissing her non-stop until they were both completely breathless. After grabbing a condom from their bedside table and pulling it on, he entered her carefully, and they both sighed as he began to move painfully slowly. They created a rhythm together that was unhurried, and passionate, and so full of love that they couldn't help but sigh each others names every few seconds. Minutes went by, and both Hanna and Caleb lost track of time as they got lost in one another, just enjoying being together and the feeling of their bodies becoming one.

After they both finished together in a jumble of moans and tangled limbs, Hanna lay with her head on Caleb's chest and her legs wrapped around his. Her hand was stroking the expanse of his toned stomach, and his was gently running up and down her waist as he pressed kisses to her hair.

Hanna looked up at him adoringly, a lazy smile across her face, "Thank you for the most wonderful birthday."

Well there we go – Caleb was as stupidly soppy as he always is in this fic, haha. Hope you all enjoyed it, and thank you for reading, as always! (Also just realised that the chapter title makes it sound like I think this is the nineteenth chapter, don't worry I'm not deluded, it's just because Hanna turns 19 in this oneshot!)
