I'm actually posting this from work.

I've written this chapter so that I can go one of two ways with chapter 20.

Firstly I can wrap it up in a short and easy chapter which will probably end a lot differently that what you're all expecting.

Or secondly (and with enough reviews) I can stretch it out over at least 4 more chapters.

On another note, should you all choose for the story to go on, once it finishes I plan on going back and writing how Hanna and Caleb got married out of high school and found out that Hanna was pregnant with Harry.

Enjoy and please review review review.

Chapter 19

Decisions, Decisions

Hanna couldn't believe Caleb had actually given her an ultimatum.

"Oh Hanna don't over react, it was hardly an ultimatum," Spencer told her, but Hanna shook her head,
"He did, he told me I had to decide," she repeated his final words on the matter, after which they hadn't spoken for the rest of Harry's party.

It should have been an easy decision, but Mark was such a great guy, he'd made her realise that love was still out there after she separated from Caleb.

On the one hand she and Caleb were meant for each other, but on the other who knew if things were going to work out? They hadn't before, why was this time any different?

And then she was reminded of the reasons she'd heard before; Caleb working longer hours to help build their future, which he didn't have to do anymore as an executive. Harry being in the terrible two's and taking up a lot of their time and effort, now he was older he was a well behaved little boy whom Hanna couldn't be more proud of if she tried. Plus she had been enrolled in Fashion College at the time, as well as working to get her new business off of the ground, which now ran like clockwork. All of which meant that Hanna and Caleb barely spent any real time together.

Then there was Mark.

He had shown Hanna just how closed off she had been to the world after the divorce, and after they'd starting dating she'd been worried about him meeting Harry but he was fantastic with him and Harry soon warmed to him to which was a huge weight off her shoulders. Although she knew that if she asked Harry to make the choice, there would be no competition, hands down Harry would choose Caleb every time.

And at the end of the day wasn't it Harry that really mattered? It was conventional for a child to have both their parents at home to look after them, even though Hanna had only ever had her mother to turn to and she was all she ever really needed. So why couldn't that be enough for Harry also? Caleb wouldn't practically abandon Harry like her father had her.

And suppose they did give it another try and it didn't work. Harry was older now and the break up would be hard on him.

Hanna's heart told her that it was the easiest decision in the world. But her head told her that anything could happen if it turned out to be the wrong one.
