A/N: Wow, thank you guys for all the kind and lovely reviews! They mean a lot to me, and I'm not just saying that. I love reading them. Thank you, they really inspired me to write more. So here is the next chapter, I hope you guys will like it.
Chapter 2
Looking all around the room, Hanna didn't know what to do. She couldn't focus. She was going to have a step dad, Tom Marin wasn't the only one who had gotten remarried, because her own mother was, too! There was no chance of the Marin family ever getting back together. Ever since the day she and Sean broke up, she never would have imagined that she was going to be a part of the Ackard family. And as odd as it was, she wasn't going to be Sean's husband, she was going to be his sibling. Well, step-sibling, to be particular. She wasn't ready for a new family. She couldn't believe they were throwing it on her. Maybe she shouldn't have pretended that she was all sunshine and rainbows with Sean.
"Speechless?" Ted questioned, with a small smile on the edges of his lips. "I know, I know, it's a lot to process, but this already feels like a family. And Hanna, you don't have to become religious for us, you can still be a Marin, but I want us all to be a family."
"And since the Ackard family lives in an apartment, they'll be moving in here!" Ashley announced, batting her eyelashes at her future husband. It will be so exciting. We're going to make the guest bedroom into a bedroom for Sean, and Ted and I will share the master bedroom. Hanna can keep her current bedroom. While we're remodeling the guest bedroom, you'll have to stay with Hanna, if that's okay with you."
"Oh, it's totally fine," Sean said, unable to turn to look at Hanna. "Wow... Dad... Ms. Marin, I'm really happy for you guys." He knew he didn't mean it, though. He didn't want his dad to get married to Ashley.
After dinner, Ashley turned to the kids while she was washing the dishes.
"Hanna, why don't you take Sean up to your bedroom?" Ashley suggested.
Those were not the words most parents would tell their teenage daughters to do. She remembered how her mom never let her bring Caleb up to her bedroom, since she was so afraid they'd have sex (which they did in other places, including Spencer's lake house, anyways). But of course, she was allowed to bring her ex-boyfriend upstairs? Maybe it was because her ex-boyfriend was also her future step brother.
"You should show him around and find some space for him to sleep in," Ashley told her.
"Oh, uh, sure," Hanna said, pretending like she was okay with it. "So, when exactly are Pastor Ted and Sean moving into our house?"
"It's their house, too, sweetheart," Ashley said. "We're trying to get them in as soon as possible, though. It'll probably be earlier than the weekend, so you better enjoy your room while you can." Ashley laughed, but her daughter clearly wasn't amused. "Don't worry, you'll have your room back as soon as Ted and I can make the guest room into a bedroom for Sean."
"Well, thank you guys," Sean mumbled. "Hanna, why don't we go upstairs?"
"So here, you can sleep on the floor," Hanna said, rolling her eyes. "Are we done here?"
"Hey, that's no way to treat your future brother," Sean said, with a smirk. "The floor? I'm only staying in your room for a bit. Why can't I have the bed, and why can't you have the floor?" She laughed like the idea was crazy.
"My bedroom," she hissed. "It's my house! You're the one bringing your filthy hands into this house, Sean. Let me make something clear to you, I want my mother to be happy, but I don't want you in my house. I'm not doing this for you, I'm doing it because I love my mom."
He sighed.
"Look, I never wanted to start any trouble," he said. "I guess I was just poking fun at you because I'm pissed that my dad's marrying your mom."
"Why?" Hanna asked. "I'm happy for them, even if it means I get someone else living under my roof."
"Because if they get married, you'll be practically my sister!" Sean cried. "And how can I be step-siblings with a girl that I still have feelings for?" He looked her in the eyes. She was practically trembling. "Hanna, I want to get back together with you."
"There's so much wrong with what you said!" Hanna cried. "We're family, and I have a boyfriend who I love!"
"Caleb probably doesn't feel what I feel for you," he whispered.
"You don't know anything about Caleb," Hanna snapped. "Don't talk about him until you get to know him personally."
Sean grabbed her arm and pulled her so close. He kissed her lips, causing her to let out a squeak. She wanted to pull away, but he was holding her so tight. He didn't feel like her brother. She could only think of him as her ex-boyfriend. How was she supposed to become family with a guy who had feelings for her?
"Stop!" Hanna yelled, breaking their kiss as soon as Sean weakened his grip. "You're religious, you should know all about sins, and this is one."
He rolled his eyes.
"We're not even related," he pointed out. "Our parents aren't even married yet. I know the loop holes of being religious."
"Well, we're going to be siblings, and I don't want this trouble," Hanna told him, backing away. "You treated me like crap because I wanted to have sex with you. You missed your chance when we were together. You can't come back to me when I've moved on, and when we're going to be family. God, this is so screwed up!"
"Hanna," he said, sighing. He reached out to touch her hand. "I'm sorry I kissed you. I can't control how I feel about you. I'll stop the marriage... I'll do whatever I can to have another chance with you."
"I think you should go," she said, pushing him away again.
The next day
Pressing a kiss to Toby's lips, Spencer fell back against the back seat of the truck, with Toby on top of her. She started to unbutton his cotton button-up, as her other hand brushed through his hair. "I love you," he mumbled. She didn't even have to return the words, since it was obvious that she loved him back.
"You sure you don't want to go inside?" Toby asked, hovering over her.
She nodded her head.
"This truck, you, and me... That's always been a fantasy of mine," Spencer whispered, brushing her lips against Toby's neck. "Plus, my parents are home... for once."
"I didn't know that my girlfriend is so kinky," Toby joked, holding her shoulders.
"Girlfriend?" she smiled. "Mmm, I love it when you call me that."
"Girl-friend," he sang as he cupped her cheeks. His shirt was fully unbuttoned. He lowered his hands so he reached the hem of her shirt.
"Spencer!" Hanna shouted as she walked towards the tan truck.
"Oh crap," Toby muttered. "She's going to see us. Should we make it look like we're just talking?" Spencer nodded her head as she sat up. He sat up and they pretended like they were having a conversation, but Hanna knew better than to believe that after what she saw yesterday.
"Hey guys," the blonde said, smirking. "What's going on?"
"Toby was dropping me home," Spencer lied. "We were just talking."
Hanna laughed.
"Nice shirt, Toby," Hanna said, laughing.
"Thank—" he began, until he looked down and he saw that his shirt was unbuttoned. "Shit."
"It's okay to admit that you were getting on it," Hanna said, laughing. "I went to ring your doorbell, and your mom told me that you went out with Toby, but I saw his truck outside with no heads visible, so you don't even have to bother to fool me, because I already know what was going to happen!"
"Whatever!" Spencer cried. "Han, what do you need?"
"I was going to rant about my problematic life, but I see you're too busy for me," Hanna said, smirking. "I'll find Aria, Emily, or Caleb to rant to."
Spencer blushed as she looked away.
"Okay, have fun," the brunette said, biting her lip. "Sorry I couldn't help you..."
"Yeah, I'm sorry, too," Hanna chuckled. "But I think there's something I can help you with." The blonde reached for her purse and pulled a box out. She tossed them into the open window of Toby's truck. Spencer caught the box, and her face turned bright red.
"What the hell, Hanna?" Spencer blushed.
"I was saving them for Caleb, but I think that you could use them right now," Hanna said, not even giving them time to respond. "See you two later!" She ran off before they could give it back.
Extra lubricated condoms.
"Would you like to continue, now that the interruption is gone?" Toby asked, with a smile. He cupped her cheeks. He picked up the condom box from her lap.
"Hmm, extra lubricated," Toby read, chuckling. "This could be fun."
"Oh shut up," Spencer said, laughing as she pulled him closer so she could kiss him.
After ranting to Aria and Emily about how upset she was that her mom was getting married to Ted, Hanna decided to her house. When she went home, Sean was in the living room watching TV.
"While you were out, my dad and I came here to see your mom. You missed it," Sean informed her.
"Oh, I was with Aria and Emily... my friends," Hanna said, unable to look him in the eyes. If she stayed too long, she was afraid that Sean would kiss her again. "So, uh, where are they now?"
"They went out to the Grille for dinner," he told her. "I wanted to come along, but they wanted to be alone tonight. I'm going to head out now, though. Noel and I are going to the football field to practice. I'll see you later." He grabbed his bag of football stuff and waved to her before walking out the door. When he opened it, Caleb was standing there.
"Rivers," Sean acknowledged as he walked out.
"Ackard," Caleb acknowledged, glaring as he walked in.
He shut the door behind him.
"What is Sean Ackard, your ex-boyfriend, doing at your house?" Caleb asked, crossing his arms. "I just wanted to see you, and I get this surprise instead. Is this who you've been blowing me off for? Are you cheating on me with him?"
"No!" Hanna cried. "Caleb, have a little trust in me."
"That's not what it looks like to me," Caleb said, getting angrier. "To me, it looks like your ex was just in your house! How sketchy does that look? Very!"
"God Caleb, Sean was here because he's the son of my mom's fiancé!" Hanna yelled. "He's going to be my step brother! My mom is getting married to Ted Ackard, and I have a new brother. They're going to be moving in here, and they're going to be coming over a lot. I would never want to be with Sean again. Not only did he treat me badly when we were dating, but he also is going to be a part of my family very soon!"
Caleb was surprised.
"Wait, he's going to be your step brother out of all people on earth?" Caleb said, shocked. "That's such a weird coincidence."
"I know," Hanna said, sighing. "Trust me from now on, there's no one I want to be with except you!" He grinned as he pulled Hanna in for a kiss.
"I'm sorry, babe," Caleb said, gazing into her blue eyes. "Forgive me?"
"Only if you make it up to me," Hanna flirtatiously said.
He raised his eyebrows with a smile.
"My mom isn't home, which means the no boys in my bedroom rule is temporarily unbanned," Hanna said, taking Caleb's hand. "Come on, let's go upstairs."
Caleb was on top of Hanna, his lips furiously working against hers. They were making out on her bed, and loved the fact that her mom would be out late since she had a boyfriend. Hanna was quick to pull Caleb's shirt off. She threw it on the floor, and kissed him again. Hanna reached over to grab her purse, so she could get her condom box out.
"Oh crap!" Hanna cried. "I gave the condoms I bought to Spencer and Toby!"
"Spencer and Toby are sexually active?" Caleb asked, raising his eyebrows. "They seem so innocent, though!"
"I know!" Hanna laughed. "But they're much kinkier than they make themselves seem. I caught them making out and taking each other's clothes off in Toby's truck today. That's why I gave Spencer my condoms. I wanted her to have safe sex... and I also wanted to embarrass her."
Caleb laughed.
"So if you're out of condoms, should we do something else that your mom would approve of instead?" Caleb asked.
"Wait, what's this..." Hanna said, pulling a sheet of paper out from her purse.
Returning the favor
Love, Spencer
There was a packaged condom attached to the sheet of paper. Hanna smiled to herself and took it off of the paper.
"I think we're good for tonight," Hanna said, smiling as she leaned in to kiss Caleb again.
Maybe her life wouldn't be entirely screwed up.
