"Hanna, can you please come home?" Ashley begged over the phone.

Hanna rolled her eyes, tired of the conversation. "I already told you, I don't want to speak to you!"

"It won't take long. Just 2 minutes, that's all."

Eventually, Hanna agreed, though it was very reluctant. She only said yes so her mother would stop asking, but she didn't actually care what she wanted. If it was her choice, Hanna would remove any trace that Ashley was related to her.

Half an hour later, Hanna stepped through the Marin house's front door. She gazed around the house. She hadn't been back since collecting her final boxes all those months ago and it felt strange to be back. Hanna's thoughts were interrupted when the echo of heels filled the hallway.

"Wow," Ms. Marin said, staring at her daughter's bump. "You're getting so big!"

"Cut the crap, mom. Why did you want me here?"

"I wanted to apologise for everything. For kicking you out, for being so unsupportive of the baby. I'm sorry, honey. I really am."

Hanna looked at her mother, unsure of what to think. "Do you expect me to forgive you?"

"Not right away," Ashley replied. She looked hopefully at Hanna, but Hanna avoided eye contact and glanced anywhere but at her. "But I hope, over time, that we can somehow put this whole thing behind us."

"You made me homeless when I was 18 just because I accidently got pregnant and you think I'll forgive you?" A sudden build of anger grew inside Hanna. Before she had a sudden outburst, she thought it'd be best to leave, so turned towards the door and left without saying anything else.

Caleb was waiting in the apartment for Hanna's return and immediately jumped out of his chair when she unlocked the door. He knew where she was going, and was eager to know what Ashley wanted.

"Hey," Hanna said, closing the front door. She walked towards him, pecked him on the lips and headed off to the kitchen.

"So?"

"What?" the blonde replied, acting dumb. She opened the refrigerator door and pulled out leftovers.

"Hanna…"

"She just wanted to apologise," Hanna answered coolly. Caleb looked at her as if she were crazy.

"Why are you being so calm about this?"

"Because it doesn't bother me," she placed the meal in the microwave and focused her gaze on her boyfriend. "Look, I have no intentions of ever forgiving her, so why should I let it make me crazy?"

Caleb shuffled over to join Hanna, and wrapped his arms around her waist. "She's your mom though, Han," he said, kissing her forehead. "Don't you think you should give her a chance?"

Hanna pulled away, looking shocked. "After everything she did, you think I should let her back into my life?"

"I'm just saying you shouldn't make any hasty decisions that you might regret later on," the brown haired teenager replied. The microwave beeped and he took out the meal for Hanna. "Are you going to take it?"

The blonde warily took the plate and shuffled over to the table, baffled at Caleb's response. She thought he'd back her up, considering he knew what Ashley had done, but clearly she was wrong.

"Don't get mad, babe," Caleb said, sitting on the chair to the left of Hanna. "I just want you to make the right choice. It might not be forgiving her, but then again, it might be doing just that."

2 hours later, Hanna was doing something she'd convinced herself not to do for the past 3 months. She was standing in the kitchen where, just a few months ago, she would eat breakfast, lunch and dinner. It suddenly dawned on the blonde how rapidly things had changed. It a matter of days, Hanna went from having a warm, loving house and a mother who cared for her, to being a pregnant, homeless teenager without any parents to lean on for support.

"I just wanted to come and tell you that I talked to Caleb, and he made me realize that maybe I was a bit quick to jump to conclusions. I'm not saying I've forgiven you for kicking me out and I might never will, but I shouldn't have said it was a definite no." Hanna looked at her mother's face and was surprised by the reaction. She thought Ashley would look unimpressed but instead there was a big beam.

"I love you, Hanna!" Ms. Marin exclaimed. She grabbed her daughter's arms to pull her in for a hug, but Hanna pulled away and shook her head. Sheepishly, Ashley looked away. "I'm sorry, baby. I really am."

Hanna nodded in understanding but decided it was the right time to leave so said a quick goodbye and left her mother's house. She was surprised by the way she felt leaving; she felt almost proud of herself for being so mature. God, this night was just full of surprises.
