Chapter 5: Breaking News and Settling in

*A few days later*

Spencer's POV

I rushed around the large kitchen, keeping a diligent eye on the food being prepared.

'trust the Hastings to have an obscenely large kitchen, luckily it's well stocked...'

I knew this dinner had to be perfect, Hanna and I were going to tell our guests some pretty big news and everything had to go well. Tonight was the only night both my parents were free but for good measure I made appointments with their assistants and booked out their event diaries for the evening. I was glad that I wouldn't need to have this conversation twice since Melissa was in town for the weekend. Ashley Marin was joining us after she was done at work and Mona was already upstairs with Hanna, picking out their outfits for the evening.

I put the bread rolls into the oven to warm up and as I finished up the place settings, Melissa came into the kitchen.

Melissa: "Something smells good...you made lasagne?"

Spencer: "Yup...Gradma Hastings Recipe..."

Melissa: "Wow...must be something special planned for tonight..."

Spencer: "Yeah...Hanna and I have some pretty big news..."

I smiled nervously at my older sibling. Melissa and I had recently mended our relationship to a point where I could tell her everything without fear of judgement but right now, in this moment I realised that I had not told Melissa what had happened to Hanna. I began to hyper ventilate as I imagined Melissa storming off the dinner table, Hanna in tears and our parents yelling at us forcing us to abort this pregnancy.

Clearly sensing my impending panic attack, Melissa quickly wrapped her arms around me and began rubbing soothing circles on my back, trying to comfort me.

Melissa: "Shhh...Spence, Sweety...it's okay...take a deep breath..."

Slowly I felt my breathing even out as Melissa coached me through my panic attack.

Melissa: "Spence...It's okay...Everything will go well tonight...Oh and I know about what happened to Han..."

My head snapped up and I stared at Melissa in shock.

Melissa: "Umm...yeah...I met Hanna this morning while I was putting my suitcase into the barn, she was pretty distraught so I calmed her down...she told me everything...about how you saved her...Listen Spence...I know I don't show it often, but I'm proud of you...like stupidly proud...you stuck by your friend like a true Hastings and I wish I was as brave as you..."

I broke down hearing my sister's words and Melissa pulled me into her comforting embrace as I sobbed into her shoulder. I was terrified in that moment, realising the huge ordeal I had just signed up for.

Spencer: "I-I'm S-scared...I'm Scared Mel..."

Melissa: "shh...sweety...it's okay to be scared Spencie...but whatever happens...I'll be there for you...okay? Even if mum and dad aren't...I'll be there..."

Spencer: "T-Thanks...Mel..."

Melissa: "Hey that's what big sisters are for...now please tell me that you're not serving the Pinot Noir with Grandma's lasagne?"

Spencer: "Umm yeah why? Mum and dad loved that Pinot with the bolognaise when we were at that new Italian Place in Philly..."

Melissa: "Well...let me tell you a little secret...It's unorthodox but Grandma always served Chianti with her lasagne...she said the flavours in the sauce were accentuated perfectly with the fruitiness of the wine..."

Spencer: "Umm...thanks Mel..."

Melissa: "No problem Spence...I'll see you at dinner...and don't stress...everything is going to be alright honey..."

I smiled at my sister, the huge ball of stress in my chest dissipated when I had my big sister on my side.

*Later that Evening- Hanna's POV*

Spencer had really outdone herself with dinner. The lasagne was fabulous and even though I was dying to try a sip of the wine, I abstained from doing so largely because of the young life growing inside of me and a tiny bit because of the parental figures seated around the table.

We had just finished our last course, Italian kisses and fresh strawberries, and I caught Spencer's eye, signalling to me that we were to announce our news now, before she served a late night coffee.

Clearing my throat, I was about to speak when my mother had cut me off unintentionally

Ashley: "Dinner was lovely Spencer..."

Spencer blushed at this and thanked my mother for the compliment.

I was about to speak again when Veronica spoke

Veronica: "The wine complimented the dish well...I would have never thought to serve the family lasagne with a chianti..."

Peter Hastings laughed and said

Peter: "Well, it looks like we have a budding sommelier on our Hands Vic..."

The adults laughed as Spencer blushed profusely, clearly embarrassed at the attention she was receiving. Luckily Mona had sensed her discomfort and quickly reminded everyone why they had gathered

Mona: "Dinner was awesome Spence...but why all the mystery? You don't need to feed us to tell us what's on your mind..."

Spencer stared at Mona before stuttering out

Spencer: "Umm...uhh..Well you see...see ummm the thing is...welll...It's..."

Watching Spencer try and string a sentence together was agonising. I knew the girl was trying to break the new delicately to our dinner companions but I find that sometimes it's better and less painful to rip off the band aid so I cleared my throat to gain everyone's attention before speaking

Hanna: "I'm pregnant..."

My outburst was met with silence. Mona's jaw was open in shock, Melissa had spilled some of her wine, My mother and Veronica Hastings stared at me and Peter Hastings shifted in his chair uncomfortably. I looked across the table at Spencer, hoping the other girl would give me the courage I desperately needed to continue and I sighed when Spencer smiled at me reassuringly then gestured for me to continue..

Hanna: "My doctor called me a few days ago..."

Ashley Marin quickly found her lost voice and with a slight tremor in her tone had asked

Ashley: "Was it because of the..."

Hanna: "uhh...Yeah...I've never been with anyone before that..."

Peter and Veronica Hastings shared a look, the two lawyers silently debating amongst themselves before Veronica cleared her throat and asked the question on everyone's mind

Veronica: "Hanna...are you going to keep it?"

I shrugged at this, still not having a clear answer before I responded

Hanna: "I'm...I'm not sure..."

But before I could break down, Melissa had spoken, distracting me from my tears.

Melissa: "And who's going to help you with the pregnancy Hanna?"

From the end of the table Spencer had spoken up

Spencer: "I will Mel..."

This caused Veronica and Peter to stare at their youngest daughter, their expressions clearly indicating that they were not expecting that response. They were about to voice their protests but a quick look from Spencer silenced them. Hanna knew that look all too well, it was the look Spencer had when she had made her mind up about something and her parents knew that there was no way their daughter was going to change her decision. Sighing in defeat, Peter Hastings addressed his youngest

Peter: "You sure Champ? Do you really think you can help Hanna raise this child if Hanna decides to keep it?"

Spencer: "Yes dad...I'm sure..."

Peter and Veronica exchanged a look before Veronica spoke

Veronica: "Well if you're certain Spencer...then your father and I will support you and Hanna..."

My mother hadn't spoken yet and it was her reaction I feared the most, so I was unprepared when my mother burst into tears at Veronica's words and hugged the youngest Hastings. I nearly laughed at the startled expression on Spencer's face, but the other girl pulled herself together and began soothing my mother

Ashley: "Thank You Spencer...Thank you soo much for being there for my baby...my baby girl..."

Everyone smiled at the sight before them and my heart swelled at the support I had just received from our parents. I was so caught up in my mother's reaction I didn't hear Mona clearing her throat

Mona: "Ehmm...well...I'm assuming you called me here to be godmother right? Because if you did then... I graciously accept!"

At Mona's words the table burst into laughter, the mood instantly lightened. I had a smile on my face as I locked eyes with Spencer, who was still wrapped in the arms of my mother, and I knew then that my baby was loved.

*A Few Days Later*

Spencer paced the Hastings living room nervously, Hanna was half an hour late and the field hockey captain was beside herself with worry. Her older sister Melissa watched the sight before her, amused at the young brunette's high strung behaviour.

Spencer: "She could be hurt...or maybe she's just running late...what it's the baby? Oh god! Something happened to the baby! I need to go...I need to get to her..."

Spencer had somehow managed to conjure her car keys and was almost out the door when Melissa grabbed her arm and forced her sibling to sit down

Melissa: "Spence...breathe...ok deep breaths..."

Melissa coached her sibling through a few breathing exercises and once she deemed the younger girl 'calm enough' she began to speak

Melissa: "Watching you pace around like a nervous lunatic for the past hour has been hilarious, but I'm not letting you drive in this state..."

Spencer: "But Hanna..."

Melissa: "Spencer, I'm sure Hanna is fine...You need to calm down okay...if you're nervous than it'll rub off on Hanna and she doesn't need that kind of stress right now..."

Spencer: "You're right Mel...I'm sorry"

Melissa: "It's okay little one...now, I know that you're used to Hanna's tardiness so what are you really freaking out about?"

Spencer: "well...it's this whole thing..."

Melissa: "You're not having second thoughts are you?"

Spencer: "NO! No...I'm not having second thoughts...it's just...today's our first sonogram...and what if I do something wrong? What if I say something? Or in typical 'Spencer' fashion piss Hanna off and she realises she wants nothing to do with me?"

Melissa sighed and pulled her younger sister into a hug.

Melissa: "Spencer...you're going to be fine...just be yourself...you love with such an intensity that sometimes I worry that you're going to get hurt...but when I see you with Hanna, and I see how she smiles when you're around I know that you'll be okay...That she'll do anything for you...Spence, Hanna may not know it but she's crazy about you...and judging by the way you're acting I'd say you're crazy about her..."

Spencer smiled at my words, her face blushed a slight crimson and I couldn't help but feel happy for her.

Melissa: "little tip though...today is not about you...it's about Hanna so try and make her as comfortable as possible..just...just be there for her okay?"

Spencer: "I will...thanks Mel..."

Melissa: "No problem Spence..."

The two siblings shared a hug and while holding Spencer in her arms Melissa said

Melissa: "Well...you better hurry..."

Spencer looked up at her sibling utterly confused

Spencer: "For what?"

Melissa: "Well...you were supposed to pick Hanna up half an hour ago...so she's gonna be pretty pissed..."

*Same Day- OB/GYN's Office*

Hanna's POV

Hanna hadn't even noticed that Spencer was late, the brunette had been apologising profusely to her and frankly Hanna was getting a little annoyed by the taller girl's rambling

Hanna: "Spence...I love you but please just shut up! I'm nervous enough as it is..."

Spencer: "Right...sorry..umm...do you want me to get a nurse?"

Hanna: "No...I'm fine...just shut up and hold my hand..."

The brunette obliged her request as the two teenagers sat in the very uncomfortable chairs around the doctor's desk. Hanna had deliberately chosen this doctor because she couldn't have a male touch her 'there' after what happened and she knew Spencer would want somebody ridiculously experienced for her safety so that's how they ended up at Dr Lisa Cochran's offices. The good doctor was currently tending to another patient so the two teenagers had nothing else to do but wait for her.

Hanna watched as Spencer read the various charts and brochure's littering the walls and smiled knowing the brunette was trying to absorb as much information as she could.

Hanna: "Um...Spencer...you shouldn't read all of them in one go...leave some for our next trip or you'd get bored..."

Spencer laughed and faced Hanna

Spencer: "Han...I just want to be prepared you know...when our baby comes, I'm going to be right there with you...you won't be alone...I promise...And I'd by heart every ounce of information on these charts and brochures so I'd be prepared for the day you go into labour..."

Hanna blushed and a small smile grazed her lips at Spencer's words. She was about to give her brunette friend a witty reply but was cut off when the good doctor had entered the office.

Dr Cochran: "Sorry Miss Marin, one of my patients was experiencing Braxton hicks...so false alarm..."

Hanna panicked at those words

Hanna: "Braxton Hicks?"

Dr Cochran had sensed Hanna's fear and was about to explain to the terrified new mother what Braxton hicks was but the tall brunette accompanying her beat her to it

Spencer: "It's nothing bad Han...Braxton Hicks is sometimes referred to as 'false labour'...you experience something that feels like the contractions of labour but it's really nothing..."

Hanna: "Nothing? It sound like it hurts!"

Spencer: "Han...I'm not going to lie to you...it might hurt...but you can squeeze my hand as hard as you want when they come okay?"

Hanna: "So I get to feel like a watermelon is being pushed through my business and all you get is a broken hand? Un-fricken-believable!"

Dr Cochran laughed at the exchange, the two girls in front of her were clearly terrified but they were handling this situation with a maturity she had rarely seen in most of the young girls that waltzed into her office. Clearing her throat to get their attention she began.

Dr Cochran: "So Hanna, tell me who's your friend?"

Hanna: "Oh yeah...umm this is Spencer and we're raising this baby together..."

'Two teenagers raising a baby...like that's not a disaster waiting to happen...'

Dr Cochran pulled herself from her thoughts, before discussing some routine questions she asked all of her teenage parents

Dr Cochran: "alright Spencer...you are aware of what happened yes?"

Spencer nodded nervously at her words and waited for the doctor to continue

Dr Cochran: "It's okay Spencer...I'm not going to hurt you...I just want you to know that Hanna needs all the support she can get right now and if you have any intention of , as you kids say, 'bailing' on her then there's the door..."

Hanna watched Spencer nervously, afraid that the brunette would decide that having a child was too much for her and she'd leave. Hanna slowly began to let go of Spencer's hand and was surprised when the brunette tightened her grip

Spencer: "I'm not going anywhere doc..."

Dr Cochran: "Well...that's good to know...Hanna I need you to hop onto the exam bed and lift your top up slightly..."

The two girls stood up and Dr Cochran smiled as Spencer lovingly lead Hanna to the examination bed and helped the shorter blond get on. Once the blond was settled in, she lifted her top slightly and Dr Cochran couldn't help but smile when Spencer placed a chaste kiss on Hanna's belly causing the blond to blush profusely

Hanna: "You're a dork..."

Spencer: "But you love me..."

Clearing her throat once more, Dr Cochran loathed to interrupt the two but she had a job to do.

Dr Cochran: "Okay Hanna...I'm going to apply some gel to your abdomen...it's quite cold I'm sorry..."

Hanna winced slightly when the cool liquid touched her abdomen but smiled at Spencer to let the other girl know that she was okay

Dr Cochran: "Alright ladies...ready to see your baby?"

Both girls nodded as Dr Cochran rubbed the wand over Hanna's abdomen, spreading the gel around. The three of them watched the adjacent screen expectantly and Hanna gasped when the black and white images flooded the screen.

Hanna: "Spence! Are you seeing this!"

Spencer: "Yeah Han...it's beautiful..."

Hanna: "Wait you see it?"

Spencer looked at Dr Cochran before looking at Hanna, the clear surprise on the blonds' features told Spencer that the girl had no idea what she was currently looking at.

Hanna: "Great..I can't see my own kid! What kind of mother am I?"

Spencer: "Well the kind that fell asleep in biology..."

Dr Cochran laughed at this and was about to explain to the teen mother exactly where her baby was but once again Spencer had beaten her to the punch

Spencer: "Han...you can see it...you just don't know what you're looking at..."

Hanna: "Well I know it's there!"

Spencer: "There you go! Okay...now do you see that tiny peanut looking thing?"

Hanna: "Of course Spence..I'm not blind!"

Spencer: "Well...that's our baby..."

Hanna: "That peanut is our kid?"

Spencer: "Well...for now...yes...it still has to undergo a series of cellular mitosis and develop organs and limbs..."

Hanna: "Spence please don't go all nerd on me..."

Spencer: "Right...sorry...well...umm what I was trying to say is that it's small because it needs to grow and after nine months it'll resemble a baby a lot more..."

Hanna: "alright...so for the time being, peanut is our kid?"

Spencer: "uhh...yeah...and Han are we seriously calling it 'peanut'?"

Hanna: "Yeah...Peanut Marin-Hastings...Doc you can go ahead and print out the birth certificate"

Hanna laughed at Spencer's mortified expression. The blond was clearly joking with Spencer and she winked at Dr Cochran as the older woman stifled a laugh.

Spencer: "Han...I love you...but I'm naming our child..."

*Scene Shift- Same Day- Hastings Residence*

Mona's POV

Spencer and Hanna had just returned from their first sonogram and Mona couldn't tell who was more excited. While Hanna smiled and blushed like a radiant expectant mother, Spencer was excitedly showing off the sonogram to everybody.

Ashley Marin and Veronica Hastings cooed over the grainy picture while Spencer giddily proclaimed 'That's My baby!' and every time the brunette had made this proclamation, Hanna's grin just got wider.

Peter Hastings had pulled out some champagne flutes and bottles of Champagne and sparkling apple juice before announcing

Peter: "OK Everyone! It's time for a toast!"

He quickly poured out the beverages, handing flutes of champagne to Ashley, Veronica and Melissa while Hanna, Spencer and Mona received flutes of the sparkling juice

He filled his own glass with champagne and clinked it twice before speaking, the lawyer had kept Hanna's gaze as he gave his toast

Peter: "Hanna...Welcome to our family...fair warning, we Hastings can get a little crazy sometimes...but I'm sure you can manage, I mean you spend every day with Spencer so I'm sure you're used to it..."

Everyone chuckled at his attempt at humour

Peter: "Seriously though...Hanna thank you for making this family complete...I know that this is not the traditional way Veronica and I pictured having grandkids but all that doesn't matter...all that Matters to us is how happy our little girl is..."

He darted his eyes over to his youngest daughter

Peter: "...and Spencer..I'm soo proud of you..."

Veronica sensed her husband's pending emotional outburst and knowing that he wouldn't want to cry in front of his daughters and their friends, she raised her glass and said

Veronica: "To Hanna and Spencer"

Everyone raised their glass as the two girls blushed at the attention.

Once everyone had taken their customary sip, the crowd broke off into groups of conversation. Peter and Ashley were busy discussing the girls living arrangements while Veronica and Melissa were discussing the pregnancy with Hanna.

Mona watched Spencer closely. The tall brunette was perched on the stool beside the Hastings kitchen table, carefully sipping on her sparkling beverage. Mona walked over to the other girl and occupied the vacant seat beside her. Both brunettes watching as Hanna laughed and joked with Melissa and Veronica Hastings

Mona: "She's my best friend Spencer...you better be there for her and don't you dare hurt her..."

Spencer turned to Mona and looked the shorter girl dead in the eye, indicating to the young Hawaiian the seriousness of her commitment to their blond friend

Spencer: "She's my world Mona...I wouldn't dream of it..."

*Three Months Later*

Hanna was currently sitting in her lounge, feet up on the sofa and a warm fuzzy blanket draped around her. To say she felt like crap was an understatement. She felt nauseas, cranky, hungry and tired all at the same time. Her feet ached and every time she looked at Spencer a warm pool of arousal gathered in her loins. She pictured the brunette doing unspeakable things to her on every surface of the house which only made her more eager for her release.

What didn't help her arousal was that the star of her dirty fantasies was currently giving her the best foot massage ever and Hanna couldn't help the loud, sensual moans that were escaping her. If Spencer was alarmed at the blonde's actions she said absolutely nothing. The front door clicked open and Ashley Marin walked in carrying the week's groceries. Not noticing the two teens on the couch, she was busy packing the groceries away when a particularly loud, and very sensual moan escaped Hanna's lips

Curious, Ashley followed the sound and sighed in relief when she saw Spencer giving Hanna a foot massage. The brunette looked sleep deprived and Ashley's heart melted when she realised that the girl was more concerned about Hanna than her own well being

Ashley: "Wow Spencer...your fingers must be magic...but please don't let my daughter make that sound again while I'm still within earshot..."

Spencer looked up at her and smiled

Spencer: "Sorry Mrs Marin...it's just Hanna's feet hurt..."

Ashley: "Well I told her not to wear those heels to school today, so...how was school..."

Ashley addressed Spencer more than her daughter, knowing the brunette would give her a more accurate report of the day's events. Hanna was starting to show, a small bump protruded from her abdomen so the blond could still get away with wearing loose tops to hide it, but Ashley knew that eventually Hanna would have to shop for maternity clothes.

Spencer: "Well..school was good...Hanna threw up twice, whoever named it 'morning sickness' had no idea that it could happen throughout the day...I made sure she had a healthy lunch, she was excused from PE today because the coach heard she was sick and I made her a snack as soon as she got home..."

Ashley smiled at Spencer, she trusted her daughter with the brunette and smiled at how thoughtful and committed to her baby the other girl was

Ashley: "Alright...well I can take it from here Spencer, you've been camped out in our living room for the past week, and judging from the bags under your eyes you haven't slept in days...Hanna told me how you've been helping her at night, holding her hair back while she emptied the contents of her stomach and running out to get her cheese sticks and oreos at odd hours... but Spencer I won't have your grades slip...your parents and I agreed that school work is important and while I admire the dedication you have to my daughter you have three essays to write, two major tests to study for and a field hockey game this week so as much as it pains me to say this...Spencer, honey...get out of my house..."

Spencer laughed at the older woman's playful tone. She quickly got up from the couch, slung her bag over her shoulder and proceeded to kiss Hanna on the forehead. She nodded at Ashley Marin as she made her way towards the front door. As Ashley escorted her out, the brunette looked up at her pleadingly

Spencer: "So... If I finish my essays and studying can I come back?"

Ashley: "I've had enough of you for the week...how about you finish those essays and pass those tests with nothing less than 90% then maybe I'll let Hanna come to your hockey game on Friday..."

Spencer contemplated Ashley's conditions before raising her hand

Spencer: "deal"

The two women shook on it and Ashley smiled when Spencer blew a kiss to Hanna before exiting the house.

Ashley closed the door behind her before turning to her daughter

Ashley: "She's something else huh?"

Hanna: "I know! How did I get soo lucky!"

Ashley: "Hanna...I know you told me all about that crush you had on Spencer when you were younger, and its not a secret that Spencer has a past but does she feel the same way?"

Hanna: "She does mum...she doesn't say it because 'showing emotion is a sign of weakness for a Hastings'..."

Hanna scoffed at this before continuing

Hanna: "...but she shows me how much she cares on a daily basis...she'll get the last blueberry muffin for me from the cafeteria, she walks me to class, heck she holds my hair back when I'm puking my guts out because I'm nauseas all the time...She loves me...even if she doesn't realise it yet...I know that she loves me...and...well I love her too..."

Ashley: "Well...I'm happy for you honey..."

The two Marin women embraced on the couch before Ashley quipped

Ashley: "You know that whole deal I had with Spencer about school work applies to you too right?"

Hanna: "Umm...sure..."

Ashley: "So after dinner I want you to finish your homework and no getting Spencer to do it for you okay?"

Hanna sighed before mumbling out a small 'okay', her mother smiled at her and walked off to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

*Scene Shift- Friday Evening- Hastings Household*

True to her word, Spencer had finished all three of her essays and scored more than 90% on both her tests so Ashley had let Hanna come to see Spencer's field hockey game. The game ended with a spectacular win for Rosewood, with Spencer being the MVP of the game. Hanna, Emily, Aria and Alison cheered loudly as their friend led the team to victory. Once the congratulatory hugs and meal at the brew was over, Hanna and Spencer made their way to the Hastings residence where Hanna was spending the weekend.

Ashley, Melissa, Peter and Veronica were already waiting for them in the Hastings lounge, Peter and Melissa excitedly discussing the game and Spencer's form while Veronica and Ashley discussed the girl's schoolwork

When their girls arrived, Hanna had launched herself on the empty couch nearby and put her feet up.

Melissa: "Okay there Han?"

Hanna: "These stupid sneakers are hurting my feet..."

Spencer, who was busy helping herself to a glass of juice walked over to where Hanna was seated and wordlessly began taking off the blonds' shoes

Peter: "Well Hanna..you officially have Spencer wrapped around your little finger..."

Peter teased his youngest, enjoying the stupid grin that adorned her face but his glee was cut short when his wife spoke

Veronica: "Oh like you were any better Peter, I mean didn't you buy me that ridiculously expensive juicer when I was pregnant with Spencer and I only wanted to drink fresh apple juice?"

Peter Hastings fumbled for a few seconds before he defended himself

Peter: "It was a purchase of necessity!"

Veronica looked at her husband and deadpanned

Veronica: "We never used it..."

Everyone burst into laughter at this while Hanna looked at Spencer curiously

Hanna: "Apple Juice? Seriously"

Veronica: "Yeah...Pregnancy cravings can be pretty weird...for Melissa I craved chocolate ice cream..."

Hanna: "Really? That's not soo bad..."

Veronica: "I know...but for Spencer it was just plain weird...I craved Oreos and fresh apple juice..."

Hanna made a face at that while Ashley's eyes widened at the choice, leaving Melissa to sigh

Melissa: "Well...Spencer was always the odd one..."

Hanna laughed at this and smirked at Spencer, indicating that she was going to tease the brunette mercilessly later on. Her plans were cut short when Ashley Marin declared

Ashley: "Well...when I was pregnant with Hanna...I craved peanut butter and dill pickles..."

Hearing this Spencer grinned mischievously at Hanna causing the blond to give her a look which clearly meant 'shut up'

Peter laughed at how quickly Spencer obliged Hanna's glare and smiled at his daughter.

Hanna: "So...any other tips?"

Hanna had asked innocently, clearly not expecting the tirade of answers that headed her way

Veronica: "Uhh...avoid Papaya...I don't know why but every pregnancy book says its bad so just avoid it..."

Ashley: "Oh and expect gas in your last trimester...it's gross but you're going to have to deal with it..."

Melissa: "Looks like your fingers and ankles are starting to swell...so invest in a good pair of shoes and don't wear any rings for now..."

Everyone turned to Peter, being the only male in the room the ladies were eager to hear what advise the lawyer had for the pregnant teen

Peter: "Umm...well...I know Vic took all these crazy vitamins and supplements when she was pregnant with Spence and Mel...so uh... take those..."

Hanna smiled at him, clearly thrilled that she had some form of a father figure in her life right now.

Hanna: "Thanks Mr Hastings..."

Peter: "No Problem Hanna..."

The lawyer was clearly uncomfortable so he quickly changed the topic

Peter: "...oh and Spencer...in my experience it's best to just smile and nod...agree with everything Hanna says and your role in this pregnancy will be a cake walk..."

Spencer: "Okay dad..."

Peter: "...and don't sit in the waiting room during the delivery, trust me you'll go mad with worry out there... when your mother was giving birth to Melissa I was in that waiting room all of 5 minutes before I stormed into the delivery room, yelled at the doctor and every nurse in there before I stood by your mother's side, your mother was so angry with me then and to make sure there was no repeat incident when you were born she made sure I was plastered to her side throughout her labour...trust me...you rather be by your girl's side...sure you'll break your hand and sure you'll say and do everything wrong and yeah they're going to want to kill you before it's over but when your baby arrives...it's the best feeling in the world..."

All the woman in the room smiled at this causing Spencer to choke up

Spencer: "Wow...Thanks dad..."

Peter: "No problem champ...and while you're in there with Hanna getting your hand crushed I'm going to be in the waiting room handing out cigars..."

Spencer laughed, clearly thinking her father was joking but the serious expression on her dad's face and the annoyed expression on her mother's told her that he could be serious.

Spencer: "You're joking right?"

Before her father could explain, her mother cut him off, annoyed

Veronica: "Oh not this again Peter! You're not having this grandchild in the Fifties!...Nobody does that anymore!"

Peter: "Aww come on Vic! I never got the chance when Melissa or Spencer was born...so I'm definitely doing it when my first grandchild comes into the world..."

Everyone laughed at his child like pout of determination which caused Hanna to quip

Hanna: "Tell you what Mr Hastings...you can hand out cigars in the waiting room...but save one for me okay?"

Peter: "Sure thing Hanna"

The Hastings patriarch hugged the blond side causing everyone to smile at the sight, everyone was so focused on the tender moment between Peter and Hanna that no one noticed that Spencer had fallen asleep, crouched beside the couch and was resting her head against Hanna's small clothed bump. Hanna smiled at Spencer as she watched the brunette slumber peacefully before saying

Hanna: "She must be tired...she was amazing on the field today..."

Peter looked at his wife and smiled, both Hastings knew that their youngest had chosen to rest her head against Hanna's bump so that she could feel closer to the baby.

Peter: "I'll carry her upstairs...Melissa can you help Hanna?"

Melissa nodded as Peter scooped Spencer up in his arms and carried his youngest to her bedroom.

Hanna watched the heart warming sight as Melissa helped her up the stairs towards Spencer's room. She finally felt like she belonged in a family and it was all because of the slumbering brunette that stood by her side in her darkest moments.

A/N: So? Whaddya think? Please Review and kindly send some positive vibrations my way, I'm writing my Board Exams in a week and I need all the luck I can get!
