Ok teddy bears. You've told me your opinions, now it's my turn to answer the question. But first of all thank you for the kind review. About Hanna being a good Mana Bear, I try to keep it as close to reality as one could. We're talking about a 27-28 year old person who has been through hell already with only one goal keeping her son safe. Now there's no way that a mother would behave any other way in my fic... Unless were talking about Caleb's mom, I don't like her that much so I'm a little bias over it because the other mom of Haleb is Ashley, the true Mama Bear definition. She's my role mother for writing Hanna. Now on with story.
Caleb watched her carefully before he prepared himself to answer her. He however found that an answer was not as easy to give in their current situation.
-"I love you. I've never stopped loving you and there hasn't been a single day in these past few years when I haven't thought about you. About where you were or what you were doing. Ten years ago I would've freaked out of my mind to hear that we were going to have a son together. It was dangerous, so dangerous I let you walk away from me just so that you were safe. But I always thought about you. You will always hold a special place in my heart no matter what happens".
Hanna made a move to reach his cheek but he stopped her. As he did so he focused his gaze on her. Hanna felt herself shiver because it felt as if he was was an open book and the raw emotions running through his eyes she had seen in them only twice before : when they had first made love together and when she had spent the afternoon at his loft during his last stay over in Rosewood.
-"I know this is not what either of us sign up for when we started dating. But then again when have things been normal regarding us and the things going on around. I want to try and have a family with you and JT. I'll always regret I missed out his first years of life but Han, you know me. O am not the man to walk away from my child, to walk away from OUR child. He comes first from now on. That much i can promise you. However i want things to progress gradually. I don't want to rush him or you or me into this new concept of family. We both went through a lot on our own and we're not teenagers anymore. I still want to start over and not rush into anything this time around. Just let things move forward naturally".
As he finally finished talking Caleb knew he meant every word he told Hanna. He also realized that he needed to adjust to a life where he had Hanna back near him but also a son. As he finally let the notion sink into him Caleb felt elated at the idea of having a second chance at starting a family with Hanna. Granted they would all have to adjust to the situation and things wouldn't be easy but at least they would be together.
He gently took Hanna's hand into his own and gave it a comforting squeeze. As he raised his eyes from their hands he watched her own eyes and for a minute he felt as if they had traveled back in time to when they were living together in her house. Back when she was the only person who had ever taken a risk and allowed him not only into her house but into her heart as well. He gently smiled at her before putting one of her rebel locks behind her ear. As he did so he allowed himself to touch her gently using his fingers on her collarbone and cheek. He leaned in and softly kissed her.
-"Stay here tonight. Spend it with me. I don't want us to part just yet".
-"As you wish, my sweetest Princess". As he answered her he moved in to her and kissed her lifting her up from the ground and propelling her against the wall. As he did so Hanna's arms wrapped tightly against him crushing him into her...
That's it lovelies. Another short happy/fluffy chapter. The next chapter will be the last one. Any thoughts about this one? You know what to do. XOXOXO
