Hanging on a Moment II
Chapter 16
"Em, the girls are upstairs." Spencer mentioned to the curly haired, brown eyed little boy as he ran up the looming staircase to re-unit with his friends.
"Hello, you two!" Hanna smiled as Spencer and Aria entered her kitchen.
Aria moved her green eyed boy to her hip and gave the blonde a quick hug.
"You are getting to be such a big boy!" Hanna cooed at her friends chubby six month old who had mounds of dark hair and pouty lips like his momma. "I'm so glad you could come for a visit."
"How is little Peyton doing?" Aria asked as she placed her Tallen on the play gym on the floor.
"Good. She graduated from her isolate to an open air cradle now. She still is on oxygen but is up to a whopping four pounds two ounces. We just have to gain that last pound, get off oxygen and pass the car seat test and she can finally come home." Hanna smiled taking out her phone and showing the small dark haired girl photos of her pocket sized princess.
"That is great Han, she is a dol- adorable." Aria sputtered not wanting to refer to her friend's new child as the creepy toy her former friend used to torture them with.
"Speaking of freaking adorable, Emily and Alesandra's baby, too!" Spencer gasped."Little Lenox Wayne Fields, already a heartbreaker!"
"Did you see how much he weighed?" Aria shrieked. "Nine pounds one ounce!" she reiterated with big eyes.
"Hell no!" Hanna muttered lowly.
"She did it without drugs too." Spencer added with furrowed eyebrows acting as if the thought of birthing that big of a child actually caused her pain.
Aria chuckled, "Of course she did."
"How is Megan doing, Spence?" Aria questioned glancing down at her son who was gnawing at a rubbery teething toy.
"Miserable." Spencer frowned sadly. "Now, I know what guys must feel like after they get a girl pregnant. I feel so guilty. Like, I did this to you."
Both Hanna and Aria laughed.
"I need to do something really big for her after these babies are born." She added.
"Like a tummy tuck?" Aria mentioned sarcastically.
"Ohhhh, can I get one too?" Hanna smiled patting her fuller middle that once housed all four of her kids.
"No, I am not buying her plastic surgery." Spencer scoffed at the suggestion. "How do you say thank you to someone for literally having your kids?!"
"What about a trip for her, Justin and Em to Hawaii?" Aria piped up after seeing a postcard from Emily's wedding on the River's fridge.
"That is actually a really good idea. It would be relaxing for everyone; poor Em and Justin have gone through a lot too." Spencer thought out loud scrolling through her phone for travel packages.
"Where is that sass-a-frass today?" Hanna mentioned looking to Spencer.
"She is really uncomfortable and tired, so she's at home. Em is hanging out at our place for the week." She replied as she kept looking.
"Full house then!"
"Yes, we love visiting Auntie Spence, don't we?" Aria cooed at her son who was profusely drooling.
"We love having everyone." Spencer didn't miss a beat even though she was currently preoccupied with her phone.
Hanna squatted down picking up the chunky boy. "Are you getting more teeth Mr?" she asked trying to peer in the baby's mouth.
"Oh yes. Two of them." Aria replied wiping the corners of his mouth with his bib.
Hanna glanced down at the floor for a moment. Seeing all of her friends' new healthy babies at home was bitter sweet for her. Hanna was definitely happy for them, but she wanted nothing more than her sweet little girl to be at home with the rest of her family. Hopefully soon, "Peanut Pey" as the family called her, would get to meet her sisters.
"How are you holding up Han?" Aria asked as Tallen reached out his arms for his mommy to take him back.
The blonde shook her head with a slight smile. "Just keeping busy until she gets here. I've been home mostly with the girls. Thank God I hired Davis just before I found out I was pregnant again."
Spencer nodded her head in agreement. "He isn't bad to look at either." She smirked taking a drink from the brimming glass in front of her.
"You know what, he is single too!" Hanna remembered looking at Aria who immediately had a worried expression on her face.
"No, I have Tallen and my divorce was just finalized." She mumbled as Tallen chomped on her finger.
"So…" Spencer added quickly.
"Guys, I don't even live here, I live in Philly." She exhaled thinking of more excuses.
"God Aria, it would just be one date." Hanna huffed with a smirk.
"You should live here thought." Spencer mentioned as the corners of her mouth perked up. "Wouldn't that be fun?" the brunette joked to Hanna setting her phone on the grey marble counter tops.
"I don't know…" Aria looked down at her son as Hanna began clicking away on her phone.
"Too late!" she smiled as her phone buzzed in her palm. "You and Davis have a date on Saturday at the Grada."
"Oh, I will watch Tallen!" Spencer jumped in leaving the small one with no excuses.
Aria shook her head laughing a little. "I guess I have a date than."
