The Unbreakable
Chapter Five
Aria pulled into Hanna's driveway. She just dropped off Bryn and Sophie at school. Caleb was off to California for the big conference so Hanna was home alone. She had taken a personal week off of work to keep Hanna company. Emily was visiting her parents in Rosewood with Penelope and Micah. Spencer was busy with her job as usual.
She parked her car beside Hanna's Range Rover and Caleb's hummer before entering the home. When she got inside she went upstairs to the master bedroom. Hanna wasn't in there. Aria went downstairs and found Hanna in the kitchen.
"Hanna, I'm back." Aria announced walking into the spacious kitchen.
Hanna glanced up from her pregnancy cook book. She smiled. "Oh, hi. Thanks for taking Bryn to school, by the way."
Aria put her purse and keys down on the kitchen table. She came to the other side of the island to join Hanna. "What are you cooking?"
Hanna flipped through a few pages. "I want a really good recipe for like an omelette. But all of these suck."
"Why don't we just go get breakfast? I'll call Spencer and see if she can join us, if you want." Aria said.
"That sounds nice. Uh, yeah, call her. I gotta put these books away," Hanna said trying to bend down to pick up one of the books she dropped on the floor.
Aria stopped her. "Han, I'll clean up here. Just go watch a movie or something. I'll finish cleaning and I'll call Spencer."
"Alright. Thanks." Hanna began to wobble her way into the living room.
Aria quickly finished putting away Hanna's pregnancy cookbooks. She put her dirty dishes in the dishwasher then sat down on a bar stool by the island. She went through her contacts before she reached Spencer's number.
She clicked it and it began to ring.
"Aria?"
"Hey, Spence. You busy?"
"Um, not really. Why?"
"I was wondering if you'd like to grab some brunch with Hanna and me?"
"I guess I could squeeze that into my schedule. How's ten thirty?"
"That's great. It will take us a while to get to your work so it will do. See you then, Spencer."
"Alright. See you."
Aria walked into the living room and found Hanna sitting on the couch on her iPad.
"Watcha' doing?" Aria asked as she sat on the arm chair.
"I'm just playing Candy Crush," Hanna shut the tablet off and placed it on the dark oak coffee table. "Anyways, what did Spencer say?"
"She said she can make it. So, it's ten now so let's head over to her office." Aria said.
Hanna slowly got up. "Okay, let's go. I want to drive."
Aria looked at her. "Are you sure? I can drive us."
"Fine. Here's the keys to my car. Let's go." Hanna tossed her the keys to the range rover.
Spencer finished ordering some furniture from the IKEA catalog for one of her clients. She got up from her desk and smoothed her black penciled skirt. She stared outside of her office window.
Aria opened the door. Hanna followed her in. "Hey, Spencer!"
Spencer looked at them. She smiled. "Hey, Guys."
Hanna gave Spencer a quick hug. "Are you ready to go?"
"Are you?" Aria asked.
Spencer picked up her purse. "Yeah, let's go to brunch."
The three women arrived at the bistro in uptown Minneapolis.
Hanna followed Aria and Spencer into the bistro. They were seated at their usual seats in the back by the window that was overlooking a pond. Hanna always enjoyed seeing this pond. It reminded her of the pond that was by her house in Rosewood. The one that dries up in the summer but fills up in the spring time.
"So, Spencer...how is this surrogacy thing going?" Hanna asked.
Spencer called a waiter over. She then looked back at her friends. "It's actually going really well. The baby will be born in a short eight months now. Savannah is amazing. We get along great." She answered.
"Really? That's great," Hanna smiled. "I'm so happy for you."
"Thanks, Hanna." Spencer smiled.
An attractive man came over. He was their waiter. "Hi, I'm Randall. What can I get you?"
The three women gave each other a look. This was a certain look. It meant they all thought he was hot. Of course they were all now married so they couldn't flirt.
"I'll have an omelette with cheese. Um," Hanna glanced back down at her menu. She looked back up. "Some hash browns and a glass of orange juice. Oh! And make the omelette with egg whites. Thanks."
Randall nodded. "Of course, Mrs. Rivers."
Hanna looked at him puzzled. "How do you know who I am?"
He smiled. "Everyone knows Hanna Marin, or I mean Rivers when they see her. You're that big name designer right?" He asked.
Hanna nodded. "Yeah."
The waiter nodded awkwardly before turning to face Spencer and Aria. "What can I get you, ladies?"
Aria looked at him. "I'll just get a tall glass of you," She laughed.
"Aria!" Hanna giggled.
"Pardon my friend," Spencer apologized. "She's married."
Aria laughed. "Yeah, I'm sorry. I know Hanna wanted to say it but she couldn't so I decided to do it."
"I did." Hanna confessed.
"Anyways," Spencer said again. "I'll just get a coffee and a breakfast burrito or whatever."
The waiter wrote it down. "And for you?"
Aria was currently distracted on her cell phone.
"Aria?" Hanna said.
"What?" Aria asked shutting her phone off.
"And for you?" Hanna repeated Randall's question.
"I'll just have whatever Hanna's having." Aria smiled.
The waiter went back into the kitchen. Hanna turned to Aria. She smiled. "Aria just knows me well. It's so funny how you just knew what I was thinking."
Aria shrugged. "Well, we've all been best friends since middle school. We know each other pretty well."
"So, Emily...how come you haven't been calling much?" Pam Fields asked her daughter.
Emily finished swaddling Penelope. She then held her and began rocking her. "I don't know. I just haven't really had time."
Pam took a breath. "Emily, you're a stay at home mom. You're not really busy. What's going on?"
Emily licked her lips then looked back at her mother. "Nothing, Mom. I promise. I just haven't been talking to anyone really. Other than the girls."
Pam nodded. "So how are they?" She asked.
"Yeah," her father joined in. "I heard Hanna's pregnant again. How is she?"
Emily got up with Penelope in her arms. "I'll go give her to Micah and I'll be right back."
Wayne and Pam smiled. "Okay, hurry."
"Micah," Emily said coming up the stairs and into her former bedroom. "I need you to take Nellie. I'm going to catch up with my parents."
Micah put down his laptop and took his daughter out of Emily's arms. "Okay, have fun."
Emily gave Micah a soft and gentle kiss on the lips before making her way back downstairs to join her parents in the living room.
"I'm back," Emily announced coming back into the living room.
"So," Wayne began. "How is Hanna?"
Emily smiled. "Just amazing. She's pregnant with a little boy. She's due in three weeks but her doctor said she's having the little guy anyday now,"
Pam took a sip of her tea. "Um, has she chosen a name yet?"
Emily nodded. "Yeah, actually. Caleb and her decided to name him Luca Trevor Jace Rivers."
"How about Spencer and Aria?" Wayne asked.
"Spencer finally got into the surrogacy process. Um, she has a surrogate right now. They're expecting the baby in eight months or so," Emily began.
"Surrogacy?" Pam asked.
"Yeah, Mom," Emily smiled. "Toby and Spencer are extremely happy to finally start a family."
"I mean...I love that they're finally starting a family. But if it didn't happen naturally, maybe it wasn't meant to be." Pam stated.
"Pam, that's enough," Wayne said. He looked back at Emily. "That's wonderful for the both of them."
"And Aria?" Pam asked.
"Aria is great. Sophie is six years old now. Ezra and Aria are doing well." Emily said.
Emily and her parents began to talk more and catch up on everything else.
Aria back out of the parking space uptown. Spencer, Hanna and Aria were now finished eating. She had to drop Spencer back off at work and then it was just Hanna and Aria for the rest of the afternoon. Aria took the longer way to Bay Interior because she wanted to talk to Spencer and Hanna.
"So, guys.." Aria began. "I need to talk about something."
"What is it?" Hanna asked.
Aria took a breath. "Ezra and I were thinking about having another baby."
They had been considering it for a while now. Aria desperately wanted another baby. Sophie had been asking them for a sibling. Ezra and Aria were not struggling financially and were ready for another little Fitz baby.
"What?" Spencer said. "That's great!"
"When?" Hanna asked.
"I don't know. We're not doing anything for a few months. We've just basically been talking about it. Considering it. Ezra asked me last night," Aria said.
"Really?" Hanna smiled. "So he's excited?"
"Yes," Aria said turning onto another road. "I've actually been wanting to have another baby for a while. I was hoping Ezra would ask soon. I was even considering doing what Emily did to have Penelope."
Hanna held in her laugh. "Just when I began to forget about that."
Emily took off her bra and underwear. She grabbed a trench coat from her closet. Now was time to make a baby, she thought.
She had been married to Micah for about nine months now and she wanted a baby. She knew Micah wanted one. On their honeymoon, he asked if he could forget a condom. Emily refused. She didn't feel ready to have a baby yet. So, they have been using protection since. Until Emily felt ready to become a mother.
She put her dark brown hair into a hair tie. She put her arms through the sleeves of the coat then wrapped the belt around it. She smiled at herself in the mirror.
Emily finally opened the door of their master bedroom. She walked down the stairs and snuck a peek into the living room. Micah was watching a football game.
She went walking into the living room. "Micah?"
Micah glanced up. He seen Emily wearing the dark blue trench coat. "How come you're wearing a coat? It's not even cold out yet."
Emily undid the belt and took it off. Revealing her exposed body. She smiled. "I think it's time we've made a baby."
Micah smiled. It was about time. "It's about time!" He grinned. "Come here, baby."
Spencer burst out laughing. "Oh my God! It never gets old hearing that story."
Hanna giggled. "No kidding."
Aria licked her lips and parallel parked in front of Spencer's work place. "Well, here you are, Spencer."
"Alright," Spencer quickly gave her friends half hugs from the back seat. "That was such a nice brunch. I'll call you guys later."
"See ya, Spencer." Hanna smiled.
"You too, Baby Momma." Spencer laughed as she got out of the range rover.
Hanna rolled down her window. "We love ya!"
Spencer smiled. "I love you guys too. Remember, call me if anything happens, Hanna."
Hanna nodded. "I will. Bye."
Aria and Hanna were currently laying in Hanna and Caleb's bed in the master bedroom. It was now four in the afternoon. They were watching The Lucky One. They had gotten back to the house around one after dropping Spencer off at work. The duo was comfortable in the bed. Hanna's head was rested on a pillow that was on Aria's legs.
They picked up their daughters from school earlier. They were now currently in Bryn's bedroom watching a movie.
Hanna felt a sharp pain in her lower abdominal area. She took a small breath. It was probably nothing. Probably Braxton Hicks.
Aria noticed Hanna move a little. "Han, you alright?"
Hanna smiled. "Never better."
"Hanna, please tell me what's going on?" Aria asked pausing the movie. She noticed Hanna moving a lot in the past half hour. She wasn't going to ignore it anymore.
Hanna sighed. "Um, I think I'm having contractions but I want to finish this movie."
"How far along are they?" Aria asked.
Hanna shrugged. "Not sure. I counted fifteen the first time and now it's probably eight." She said.
Aria took a breath. "We're getting you to the hospital now," Aria got up and walked over to Hanna's walk in closet. "I'm going to pack for you."
"I already packed last week," Hanna said, pointing to the black and gold Louis Vuitton bag that was sitting on the floor. "What about the kids?"
"We'll drop them off at my house on the way. This makes me glad we chose the same area to live in. It shouldn't take too long." Aria said throwing the bag over her shoulder.
Hanna got up and put on a pair of flats. "Well, let's go then."
They loaded the girls into Hanna's range rover and left.
Aria parked the range rover in the parking lot of the ER. She rushed inside to get help. A few nurses came out moments later and loaded Hanna onto a wheelchair so they could bring her inside.
Hanna gripped Aria's hand as she felt a contraction. "Ari, it hurts!" She screamed.
"Honey, I know," Aria kissed her head gently as they rushed into the hospital. "I'm right here. It's okay."
They were lead into a delivery room. After learning that Hanna's contractions were fairly close together.
"A doctor will be right with you, Mrs. Rivers." A nurse assured Hanna.
Hanna felt another contraction. "Ow! Fuck!" She sctreamed.
Aria immediately came to her side. "It's okay, Han. Hold my hand."
Hanna gripped Aria's hand. "Thanks for everything."
Aria wiped the tear that was coming down Hanna's face. "Anything for you, boo. You're my best friend."
"Mrs. Rivers?" A British man said entering the room.
Hanna looked at him. "Wren?"
"You're fully dilated now, Hanna." Wren stated as he took took his hands out of Hanna.
"Ow!" Hanna screamed as she felt another contraction. She gripped Aria's hand.
"Nurses! Come on! She's ready to push!" Wren called the other nurses over to Hanna.
Hanna took a few more deep breaths. She was now really sweaty and ugly.
Aria was soothing Hanna as best as she could. Wiping her sweat, wiping her tears, holding her hand.
"Sweetie, you ready?" Aria asked as she looked Hanna in the eyes."
Hanna looked at Aria. "Ari, it hurts." She cried.
Aria felt tears build up in her eyes. She hated seeing Hanna in pain. "I know, honey," She said as she touched Hanna's cheek. "Think of the beautiful baby you're going to get out of this. It will all be worth it."
Hanna wiped a tear and then looked at the nurses and Wren. "I'm ready."
"One more push, Hanna!" Wren said loudly.
Hanna gripped Aria's hand tighter. "Ow!" She screamed as she gave one last push.
Baby cries filled the delivery room. Wren smiled. "You gave birth to a beautiful baby boy. Congratulations, Hanna."
Hanna leaned back and had a deep breath. "I have a baby boy." She cried.
Aria looked at Hanna. "You did it, Hanna."
Hanna smiled. "I did..didn't I?"
Sooo, Hanna finally gave birth to Luca! :)
I'm sorry if the birthing scenes suck. I was in the room when my cousin while she had her baby so I kind of know what went on.
I really love having cute Aria and Hanna scenes. You guys probably hate me because Caleb wasn't there but don't worry. I'm working on a cute scene for Hanna and Caleb.
Please review!
Thank you for reading, lovelies.3
