Hanna and Caleb had the car packed up for the three hour journey back to Rosewood. Two years ago they had made the same journey for Ashley and Teds wedding. That time though they had a newborn baby and hadn't been back since they escaped it a few months before. Now they were going back for Alison's wedding with a two year old and another baby on the way. Hanna was three months pregnant now but you couldn't tell. Her bump was still invisible and anyone who didn't know she was pregnant again probably wouldn't be able to tell.
Caleb turned up the radio as they started driving. They were already dressed for the wedding, Hanna in a white strapless dress that flowed out at her waist and the blue necklace Caleb got her and Caleb was in his suit. Ava was in a purple dress with a tool skirt and little pink pumps.
"You look gorgeous, babe." Caleb commented taking his eyes off the road for a few seconds to look at her long, toned legs. Hanna smiled and blushed slightly. He loved how he could still make her blush. "And you princess." He called looking in his mirror at Ava who was sat in the back with a drink and some toys to entertain her.
She giggled and carried in playing with her toys.
"Have you spoken to the girls since they visited?" Caleb asked after a few minutes.
Hanna shook her head. That was one if the things she was worried about today. "They're probably mad at me." She murmured looking out of the window.
Caleb furrowed his eyebrows. "Why would they be mad at you?"
"Because I ignored them when we got back from the hospital and was grumpy all day." She replied.
"You'd spent the whole evening sat in a hospital not sure if you'd had a miscarriage. I don't think they cared if you talked to them, they just wanted you to be okay."
Hanna rolled her eyes and turned to Ava in the back. "Are you okay, Avie?"
The little girl was too focuses on her dolly to reply but Hanna could see she looked happy enough.
—–—–
They arrived at the church in Rosewood earlier than expected. They couldn't see anyone they knew yet so stood on the steps waiting to go in.
Ava was in Caleb's arms messing with his tie grumpily because she wasn't allowed to go down. Hanna spotted Jason and a very pregnant woman walking towards them.
"Hi Hanna." He smiled giving her a small hug and smiling at Caleb. "It's great to see you here again."
"Yeah, you too Jason." She said looking over at the woman next to him. He wrapped an arm around her shoulder and pulled her closer.
"This is Kiera, my fiancé." He smiled. She was a tall woman who looked about the same age as him. She had long brown hair and tanned skin and big green eyes.
"Congratulations." Hanna smiled nodding towards her baby bump.
"Thank you." Kiera smiled politely.
"We should say the same." Jason said smiling at Ava. He reached forward and tickled her foot. "How old is she now?"
"She's two. Aren't you Ava." Hanna asked the little girl. She nodded and carried in pulling Caleb's tie.
"You can come inside, we're the first ones here." Jason said leading them all inside. Before they got to the door Emily came up the steps behind them.
"Hi Em." Jason smiled giving her a hug as well. He introduced her to Kiera and they all walked inside. Hanna had kept quiet not sure what to say to Emily. They all sat down at the back of the church and Emily turned to Caleb to take Ava out of his arms.
"Hey Ava, I like your dress." She cooed. "Did your mommy pick it out?"
Ava shrugged and started to wriggle off Emily's knee. She walked along the floor at their feet keeping hold of Hanna's hand. Hanna didn't know how to say it so she just came straight out. "Em, I'm really sorry about everything when you visited."
Emily looked confused. "What do you mean?"
"I ignored you when we got back from the hospital and-"
"Hanna don't be stupid. You don't need to apologise." She smiled pulling her in for a hug. "How is everything?" She asked looking down at Hanna's stomach.
"It's fine. It was just a scare." She replied wanting to move away from the subject. Caleb shot her a smile and an 'I told you so' look.
"How far along are you?" She asked then turning to Kiera.
"I'm 32 weeks." She replied.
"Do you know what your having?"
She smiled over at Jason. "We do," he said. "But we're not telling anyone until they're born."
Ava let got if Hanna's hand and made a run for it down the isle. Caleb was quick after her and scooped her up, tickling her sides.
"I guess this is what we have to look forward to." Jason smiled at the little girl laughing uncontrollably.
"It gets a lot worse than this." Hanna commented thinking about some of Ava's recent tantrums.
"What gets worse than this?" A voice came from behind. They all turned around to see Aria, Spencer and Toby making their way over to them.
"Hey guys." Emily smiled as they sat with them.
"Ava gets worse than this. She's being good right now." Hanna explained.
"Can Auntie Aria have some cuddles?" Aria asked holding her hand out for Ava. Caleb happily passed the fidgeting toddler over and leaned back in his seat.
"How come we're the only ones here?" Toby asked sitting next to Caleb.
"We're all just early." Jason replied. "I don't think it's a big wedding, just a few people."
"Who else is coming?" Emily asked cautiously.
"Most of the people are Elliott's friends and family. I think Ezra's invited to the evening bit." Jason replied.
"Ezra?" Aria asked confused.
"Yeah, he helps Ali in her teacher training." He explained.
"Anyone else we know?" Emily gulped.
Jason caught on to what she was doing. "Charlottes not coming. She wasn't allowed out of the hospital."
All four girls took a sigh of relief including Toby and Caleb. They really didn't fancy bumping into their ex-tormenter today or anytime soon. Especially Hanna and Caleb. They had a daughter to protect now.
A few more guests entered the church and a dark haired man walked over to them. "Hi Elliott." Jason smiled standing up and shaking his hand. He said hello to the all having met before and then got to Hanna.
"I'm Hanna." She smiled.
"Ahh, your the best friend i haven't met yet and the one with the daughter." He smiled.
Hanna nodded. "This is Caleb and Ava." She said pointing to them as Aria handed Ava back to Caleb.
"And your the hacker." Elliott said shaking Caleb's hand.
"Yeah, I guess." Caleb replied.
"Don't worry Ali gave you all labels to help me remember you. Your the hacker, Toby's the cop and Ezra's the teacher." He explained.
Caleb nodded. Elliott seemed nice enough. He didn't seem Ali's type at first but then Alison had changed a lot since they left high school.
"Thanks for coming. Ali's really happy your here." He smiled. "The wedding should start in about half an hour. I'm just going to introduce myself to some more people." He said them walking over to some more guests.
—–—–
Forty minutes later the wedding music began and Alison started making her way down the isle next the her father. Her dress was white lace and her hair was left down and curled. She had peach and pink flowers in her bouquet that matched the flowers around the church.
They had all taken their seats a few minutes before. Jason was on the front row with Kiera and some of the other relatives. The girls were sat in the second row and everyone else was behind.
Hanna watched as Ali walked passed them and was handed to Elliott by her father. Despite their differences about everything to do with Charlotte it was nice that he was here to walk her down the isle, especially with her mother not being here with her.
She looked over at Emily who was stood next to her. "Are you okay?" She whispered.
Em nodded and smiled. Hanna knew that Emily had always been in love with Alison but she seemed genuinely happy for her.
"Down." Ava demanded from where she was sat grumpily on Caleb's hip.
"Shh, you have to be quiet." Caleb whispered.
"Down." She demanded again but this time a lot louder. A few of the guests turned around to see where the noise was coming from.
"No, you can't go down yet." He replied.
"Yes me down." She said sticking out her bottom lip.
"Ava, you need to be quiet." Caleb snapped. Her frown dropped and she let out a quiet whimper. Hanna could tell she was about to burst out crying so stepped in.
"Come here Avie." She said holding her arms out. She happily shifted to Hanna and leant her head on her shoulder.
"Shh, don't cry." Hanna soothed patting her back. Caleb have her a disapproving look at how soft she was being but Hanna ignored it.
Ava sat contently on her mothers knee happy to mess with her necklace until she fell asleep half way through the ceremony.
When it was over and Alison and Elliott had said their vows and kissed everyone made their way outside of the church to the garden where a marque had been sent up with all of the food underneath. Their were tables on the grass with flowers and lanterns in the centre and a small area sat up for dancing.
"Babe, I got to pee." Hanna said handing a sleeping Ava to him before she walked off looking for a toilet.
"Hi Caleb, where's Hanna?" Alison asked coming up to him.
"She just went to the toilet." He replied.
She looked down at Ava who was lying in Caleb's arms fast asleep. "Well, I'm glad someone enjoyed the ceremony." She laughed.
"She's tired from the car ride I think." He said patting her butt lightly. The arm that was supporting her head was starting to go numb and he hoped they would be told to sit down soon.
"Are you staying in Rosewood tonight or driving back?"
"We're staying at Hanna's moms tonight." He replied.
Hanna came back over and rubbed the soft skin on Ava's leg before looking up at Ali. "You look amazing." She smiled pulling her in for a hug. "I love the colours of the flowers and all of this." She said pulling away and looking around the garden.
"Thanks, we only wanted a small wedding with a few people." She smiled.
"Well, I love it."
"How are you three doing in New York? She asked.
Hanna didn't know if the girls had told Alison about her second pregnancy so just replied "We're doing good."
"You should come back and visit more often." Ali smiled before a waitress came over and said the food was ready.
Ali told everyone to take their seats and they would be called to collect their food. Hanna and Caleb were sat in a table with all the girls and Toby.
"We should probably wake her up so she can eat something." Hanna said stroking Ava's blonde curls.
Caleb nodded and she gently stroked her cheek. "Wake up Avie." Hanna cooed.
Her eyes fluttered open and Caleb sat her up on his knee. "Do you want some food?" Hanna asked.
"Mommy." Ava whined reaching her arms out for Hanna. Hanna sat her on her knee and looked up at Caleb. "Can you get is something to eat?" She asked.
He smiled and pecked her lips before standing up. Toby followed him over to the buffet. "How's Hanna doing?" He asked.
"She's good."
"So the baby's doing okay?"
"Everything with the baby was fine, it was just bleeding that some women get." He shrugged not wanting to go into any details about women things.
Toby smiled and started piling good onto his plate as Caleb did the same. "I'm glad Charlotte couldn't come. I don't think Spencer would have reacted too good." Toby said trying to keep his voice quiet incase Alison or Elliott were near.
"Same." Caleb said shoving a slice of mini pizza into his mouth before putting a few more on his plate.
"Spencer's still not over everything that happened. She still has nightmares sometimes. Does Hanna?"
Caleb thought about it for a minute. "Not really. She did for a bit after but she hasn't had any for a long time. We kind of had a distraction from it though." He said looking back at Ava who was sat on Hanna's knee as she talked to Emily. When they had settled into the apartment in New York Caleb had stopped asking Hanna if she had any nightmares. He guessed she hadn't because she always slept like a log and they rarely talked about Charlotte. But now he was wondering if she really had stopped having nightmares when it was clear the other girls still do.
Once everyone had eaten their food and the speeches were made it became darker outside and all of the lanterns were light. As the evening party started more guests arrived to celebrate. Toby spotted Ezra arrive and called him over to sit with them.
Hanna picked up Ava and sat her on her knee. "Look Avie, their cutting the cake." She said pointing to a chocolate frosting covered, three tiered cake with red roses on the top.
The little girl instantly jumped to her feet on Hanna's knee. "Me! Me!"
"Don't worry I'll get you some." She laughed kissing her blonde curls.
Once the cake was cut Hanna grabbed a piece for Ava and sat back down again next to Caleb who had Ava sat in his knee. "Is that good princess?" He asked as Ava began shoving it in her mouth.
She nodded and gave him a chocolatey grin.
Alison walked over infront of a waiter carrying a tray of champagne. She started handing one to everyone. Hanna took one and put it straight down on the table. "Come on Hanna, drink up." Ali said, noticing.
"I- I can't."
"Why not?" Ali asked loudly getting the attention of everyone sat around the table.
She didn't really wasn't to tell Alison in front of Jason and Ezra but mostly she was afraid Alison would react the same way the other girls did. Or say something about her weight like she used to when they were younger. She gulped and ran a hand subtly over her stomach but Ali saw and picked up on what it meant.
"Your pregnant again!" She squealed and pulled Hanna in for a hug. Hanna was shocked by her reaction and had expected a lot worse.
"Congratulations." She said pulling away. "You don't waist time do you?" She laughed looking back at Caleb. "Well now we know why Hanna's stayed with you all these years. You must be some kind of sex God." She laughed.
"Yeah, congratulations Hanna." Jason smiled over, interrupting Ali.
"How far along are you?" Alison asked.
"Three months."
"Is it a boy or a girl?" She asked.
"It's too early to tell yet."
Alison smiled and took a free seat in between Caleb and Toby. Ezra had sat in one next to Aria but they didn't seem to be doing much talking, just crossing gazes every few seconds.
"So who do you think is going to get married next?" Alison asked. "Apart from Jason because he's already engaged."
"I think it will be Hanna and Caleb." Spencer said.
Ali nodded. "Yeah, they do have two kids together. Do you have a diamond ring hidden somewhere, Caleb?"
Caleb had been messing around with Ava and hadn't paid attention until his name was mentioned. "What?"
"Are you going to propose to Hanna?"
He looked at Hanna and then back to Alison. "I don't know." He shrugged.
"I get it, you don't want to ruin the surprise." Ali smiled.
Caleb looked back at Hanna again hoping she wasn't getting any ideas from her. He had no intentions of proposing at the minute. The baby was enough on his mind without worrying about a wedding. Hanna could see exactly what Caleb's thoughts were and chipped in. "Just because we having another baby doesn't mean that we have to get married."
"Well if he can't commit to signing a legal document then how do you know he'll stick around for two kids." Ali snorted.
"Ali that's enough." Emily said seeing where this conversation was going.
"I'm going to get a drink." Toby said standing up.
Caleb quickly got up too and passed Ava to Hanna. "I'll come.
"Ezra, do you want to join is?" Toby asked. He nodded and stood up as well.
They all made their way over to the bar before ordering a drink. "Well I think I can say I never thought I'd have gone to Alison DiLaurentis' wedding." Toby commented.
"Me either." Ezra mumbled looking around until he spotted Alison, still with the girls. "I still can't figure her out. One minute she's all nice and chatty and the next she's insulting everyone."
"Yep, that's how Alison's always been. You just see more of the nice side since she's come back from the dead." Toby agreed.
"She just one complicated bitch." Caleb said.
"Yep."
"Hey, didn't you go out with her?" Caleb chuckled looking over at Toby.
He shook his head. "It was one near kiss." He laughed looking over at Ezra.
He knew exactly what they were both thinking. "I didn't know how old she was." He defended.
They all laughed. "How are you doing Ezra? I haven't seen you in the Brew in a while." Toby asked.
Ezra had only recently come back to Rosewood and started running the Brew again. "I'm good. What about you? How's New York Caleb?"
"It's good." He replied.
"I should say congratulations on the baby and Ava." He smiled.
Caleb nodded and payed the guy behind the bar before picking up his beer.
"I'm not going back there until she's gone." Toby said pointing towards Alison.
"We can just stay here then." Ezra nodded agreeing.
When Caleb, Toby and Ezra went to the bar Jason and Keira decided to go and talk to some family that had come so it was just the girls. Hanna took the opportunity to apologise to the others. "I'm sorry for everything that happened when you visited." She said looking at Spencer and Aria.
"You don't need to apologise, I shouldn't have said that about your pregnancy." Spencer said pulling Hanna in for a hug.
"It doesn't matter now." She replied pulling away and giving Aria a hug too.
"Did she like her dress?" Aria whispered.
Hanna smiled and pulled away. "She loves it. Thank you."
"Don't worry about it Han." She smiled back.
"Now I'm confused." Ali said watching them all.
"They came to visit last month and some stuff happened but it's all sorted now." Hanna explained.
"We're sorry too Han, about not inviting you to come out with us more." Spencer said.
"Its fine. I was just being stupid and hormonal." Hanna said.
"No you were right. We thought that you would be too busy with Ava but we should have asked and not isolated you." Emily carried on.
Hanna smiled and pulled them all in for a hug again.
"And every time we're all back in Rosewood we need to get together and do something." Aria added.
"Mommy," A little voice interrupted them. "Where daddy?" Ava asked.
Hanna scanned all the wedding guests until she spotted Caleb stood with Ezra and Toby. "There he is." She answered squatting down to Ava's level. Ava started walking through all the people dancing so Hanna ran after her quickly. By the time she had caught up Ava was in Caleb's arms.
"What's up, princess? Caleb asked sitting her on the side of the bar.
"Why are you all stood over here?" Hanna asked turning to Toby and Ezra.
"Were avoiding Alison." Toby replied.
Hanna rolled her eyes at them and turned to look at Caleb who was letting Ava lick the top of his beer bottle again.
"Stop giving her beer!" She shouted pulling it away from her.
"She's not actually drinking it." Caleb muttered as Ava started laughing. He stuck his tongue out at her making her laugh even more before sticking her own out.
Toby and Ezra stood there laughing at the three of them. Ava put her tongue back into her mouth and looked up at them. "Oby."
"Hiya." He smiled.
"Can you say Ezra, Avie?" Hanna asked.
"No."
"Okay then." Hanna rolled her eyes.
"Me go down." She demanded and stood up on the bar, ready to jump off. Caleb quickly lifted her onto the grass at their feet.
"Have you spoken to Aria, yet?" Hanna asked Ezra. He shook his head and they all looked back to see Aria watching them. As soon as she saw them though she looked back at the others girls. They had all been talking and Aria had let it slip that her and Liam were arguing a lot. "I think she wants to talk to you." Ezra carried on looking at Aria for a few more seconds before smiling at Hanna and walking over to Aria.
"What are you up to?" Caleb asked suspiciously.
Hanna smiled. "Getting them back together."
He wrapped his arm around her back and patted her butt. "Why?"
"They keep looking at each other, they're clearly still in love." She replied leaning her head back against his shoulder. She looked up at him and smiled before joining their lips. Caleb's hand moved to her cheek as he deepened it.
Toby looked down at Ava and knew he was going to have to interrupt her parents. "Your daughters eating grass." He said causing them to pull away.
Caleb leant down and picked her up. She had grass all around her mouth and her lips were tinted green. "No Ava, you cant eat grass." Hanna said and started wiping her mouth the best she could.
Toby let out a laugh and walked over to Spencer.
"She's ruined her dress." Hanna complained trying to rub the mud stain off the front.
"We can just wash it, babe." Caleb said, sitting Ava back down on the side of the bar. He looked up at Hanna and she could tell that something was playing on his mind.
"Whats up?" She asked moving closer to him.
"Something Toby said about Spencer still having nightmares made me think, You don't stil have them d you?" He asked. "Its just you don't wake me up in the night any more and I haven't asked you in a while-"
"Caleb stop." Hanna smiled, stopping his rambling by bringing her hand to his cheek. "I haven't had a nightmare in ages. I hadn't even thought about Charlotte until we can back here, okay?"
"Are you sure?"
"Im sure." She nodded. "And if I did have them, I'd tell you."
He smiled and puled her closer to him so he could kiss her head. "Good."
AN: I hoped you like catching up with everyone again. I felt like having them back in Rosewood I should mention something abut Hanna's ptsd because I haven't before. Also there is only four more chapters after this one and I loved how you all liked the last chapter with just the three of them being all cute and fluffy. Before the end they will take a trip out to Montecito to tell Caleb's mom about the baby.
So tell me what you thought xxx
