"Hanna, Caleb are you awake? We need to set off soon." Ashley called through the door of her daughters old bedroom.
"We won't be long." Hanna called back as she pulled on a top. "Caleb you need to get up." She said walking over to him and pulling the covers back.
"My head hurts." He groaned pulling the covers back over his bare chest.
"Well you shouldn't have drunk so much last night with Toby and Ezra. Hurry up we're supposed to be at the church soon." She replied looking over to Ava who was dressed and playing with her toys.
"Why do we even have to go to church?" He groaned slowly getting out of the bed. His head still throbbing.
"Because Ted's doing mass and my mom says we have to go." Hanna sighed picking up a pair of jeans. She slipped into them but struggled zipping them up. She walked up to the mirror and lifted her top up.
"What's up?" Caleb asked walking over to her.
"My jeans don't fit." She mumbled trying to zip them up again.
"Put something else in then." Caleb shrugged and started getting dressed as well.
She pulled them down and stepped out of them before turning back to the mirror. "Do I look pregnant?" She asked placing a hand on her stomach.
"You are pregnant." Caleb stated.
"I mean can you tell?" She huffed rolling her eyes.
Caleb looked at her stomach for a few seconds. "Not really. It doesn't matter though, your mom and Ted already know."
"Your mom doesn't." She replied.
"That's why we're flying out next week." He said. "To tell her."
Hanna didn't reply but pulled her top over her head and started rummaging through the bag she packed.
"I thought it was only your jeans that didn't fit?" Caleb said, sitting on the edge of the bed. "Not that I don't like the view." He smirked as she walked to her bag in just her bra and panties.
Hanna ignored him and pulled everything out of her bag. "What's wrong?" Caleb asked grabbing her hand and gently pulling her into his knee. She knelt her legs on either side of his so she was straddling him as his hands came to rub her back.
"I have nothing to wear." She sighed leaning her head against his shoulder. "Nothing fits."
He placed a kiss on her bare shoulder before moving her off him and standing up. He walked over to the bag and rummaged through it pulling out a short summer dress. "What about this?"
"No, it's too summery." She mumbled lying back on the bed.
"It is summer." He replied. "I think it will look nice."
She huffed again but sat up and looked at it properly. "Okay."
Caleb smiled and pulled on a t-shirt before going over to Ava. "Are you ready princess?" He asked lifting her up.
She nodded and tried to wriggle out of his arms. "Gandma Ash?"
"She's waiting for us because mommy takes forever to get ready." Caleb smirked.
"I'm not the one who only got out of bed five minutes ago." She muttered back.
"But I'm ready." He said.
"I just need to do my make up." She said walking over to the mirror.
"You don't need any make up." Caleb said putting Ava back down on the floor.
"Yes, I do."
"Well I think you look gorgeous without it." He smiled sitting back on the bed.
Hanna turned around and flashed him a big smile before she turned back to the mirror.
Ten minutes later they were ready and walking down the stairs. Ashley was waiting at the bottom by the door ready to leave.
"Finally." She smiled reaching her hands out for Ava. "Hello my precious granddaughter." She said tickling her sides.
"Where's Ted?" Hanna asked.
"He's already gone. Mass starts in ten minutes." She said pulling them all out the door.
The bright morning sun made Caleb's head throb even more. He groaned and cover his eyes with his hand.
"Are you okay, Caleb?" Ashley asked as they started walking into town.
"He's fine." Hanna said rolling her eyes. "He just drank too much last night."
"Hiya." Ava smiled from Ashley's arms.
"Hiya." Ashley smiled back. "Don't you look pretty in your dress?"
Ava nodded giggled.
"So does your mommy." Ashley smiled back at Hanna.
"And daddy." Ava added.
Ashley chuckled. "Daddy looks pretty too."
Hanna took hold of Caleb's hand as they walked. "I got to agree, you do look kinda pretty." She smirked. His black t-shirt was tight around his arms and made his tanned biceps look even bigger than they already were. She ran her hand up his arm and looked up at his face. "Although, your hangover face kinda ruins it." She said patting his cheek.
Caleb shook his head but smiled anyway. He moved his hand to her lower back and ran it down her butt. "You look very pretty too." He smirked griping her ass.
"Come on you two, you need to walk faster." Ashley called having seen and herd their conversation.
—
"Stop it." Hanna whispered, nudging Caleb who had just let out another huge yawn.
"I can't help it." He whispered back.
She rolled her eyes and looked back to the front where Ted was finishing up the mass. Caleb looked over next to Hanna where Ashley was clearly trying to control a fidgety Ava. He was relieved when it was over and Ted dismissed everyone.
"Have a good day." Ted smiled and made his way off the altar. He walked over to Ashley and Ava. "Hi Ava." He waved. She waved back and he pressed a kiss onto Ashley's head.
"Hi Hanna and Caleb, how are you?" He asked moving to give Hanna a side hug.
"We're good." She smiled.
"Congratulations on the baby." He said then, looking down at her stomach.
"Thanks." She replied awkwardly, ticking a piece of hair behind her ear.
"Just give me a minute to get changed before we go." Ted said walking to the room at the back of the church.
"Where are we going?" Hanna asked her mom.
"We're going out for breakfast." Ashley replied deciding it would be easier to put Ava on the floor rather than wrestle with her.
She walked up to Hanna and took her mommy a hand. "Me hunry." She said looking up.
"We're getting some food now." She replied. Ted reappeared dressed in his normal clothes and they started walking out of the church.
Hanna and Caleb were a little a head with Ava in the middle holding on to each of their hands. "I don't know how your mom does that every week." Caleb muttered.
"Does what?" Hanna asked.
"Sits through an hour at church every week."
"Don't be rude, Caleb." She warned looking back to make sure her mom and Ted hadn't heard, luckily they were chatting to themselves.
"I'm not being rude. I just didn't think your mom was that religious." He said.
Hanna could see his point. She definitely wasn't the religious type.
"Hanna." Her mother called from behind them. "It's here." She said pointing to a new cafe that had opened up in Rosewood.
The walked to the door and say at a table in the corner. "So how was the wedding?" Ashley asked.
"It was good. Ali's husband seems nice." Hanna replied.
"I've seen them a few times around town a few times, they make a good couple." Ashley said. "What were the bridesmaid dresses like?"
"She didn't have any. It was only a small wedding."
"When are you two going to tie the knot?" She asked looking over at Hanna and Caleb.
Hanna rolled her eyes having had this conversation last night with her friends whereas Caleb just looked down at his menu.
"What?" Ashley asked confused by their reaction.
"Why does everyone keep asking that?" Hanna huffed.
"Who else has asked?"
"The girls yesterday. They think that just because we're having another baby that we should get married." She answered.
"Having another baby doesn't mean that you have to get married." Ashley agreed. "Not everyone does things the right way."
"What do you mean 'the right way'?" Hanna asked.
"Wedding, Honeymoon, baby." She replied simply. "You two did baby, baby, possible wedding somewhere in the future."
Hanna was quite offended by this comment. "I thought there wasn't a right way to live?" She snapped.
"There isn't. I'm not saying you did it wrong, just that you did it different to everyone else." She shrugged. Hanna still looked pissed at the comment so she decided to change the topic. "Have you been having any morning sickness?"
Hanna rolled her eyes. It was clear her mother had just changed the topic to avoid an argument but she wasn't in the mood to argue and didn't get to see her mom much anymore and didn't want to spend it growling at each other so decided to drop it. "A little bit. Not as much as I had with Ava."
"They say that morning sickness is always worse with girls, maybe this one is a boy?" Ashley said.
Hanna could see Caleb's face light up out of the corner of her eye. She knew he wanted this baby to be a boy and wasn't doing much to hide it. He was practically surrounded by girls though. "I don't really mind what we have." She shrugged. "It would be nice to have one of each though."
"Are you ready to order?" Ted asked setting down his menu.
"What do you want to eat Avie?" Hanna's asked turning to Ava who was sat in a high chair I between her and Caleb.
"Umm, cake!" She replied.
"No you can't have cake, you have to have something for breakfast."
"Yeah, me want cake." She nodded again.
"No you had enough last night."
Ava's bottom lip quivered and her face scrunched up. "I want cake." She cried.
"No Ava." Caleb said sternly.
"Yessss." She screamed throwing her head back.
Ashley and Ted were both looking at Ava stunned how so much noise could come from such a little girl.
She let out another cry and kicked her feet against the wooden highchair. Hanna sighed and picked up her soppy cup. "Why don't you have a drink?" She suggested.
Ava shook her head and pushed it away. People were starting to look at them now. "Do you want some cuddles with grandma?" Ashley asked holding her hands out.
Ava stopped crying and sniffled. She nodded and waited for Ashley to lift her up. She back down and rubbed Ava's back.
A waitress walked over and they all ordered their breakfast. Ava settling for some sausages.
"So Caleb, how is your new job?" Ashley asked.
"It's good, I like it." He replied.
"What about your friend, the one who you hacked for. How's he doing?"
"He's still got two more months in prison but I still visit him sometimes." He explained.
"That's good I'm glad all of that is over now and we can get back to normal." She smiled.
"If you count normal as another baby." Hanna added.
"Well that's all down to you two." Ashley replied and Hanna could tell what was coming next. "It's the universe letting you know you have too much sex."
"Stop mom." Hanna groaned.
—–—–
After breakfast they decided to go to the park for a few hour until they had to head back to New York.
Caleb was walking ahead with Ava holding his hand, determined not to be carried. Hanna, Ashley and Ted were walking behind them talking about some trip they were taking soon.
Ashley spotted Hanna look into the window of a baby boutique. "Do you want to take a look?" She asked.
Before she could reply thigh Ashley grabbed her hand and dragged her inside. Ted carried on walking until he caught up with Caleb who at at the small park by now.
"Don't you thinks it a bit early to start buying things? We don't even know what we're having." Hanna said as she looked around the baby boutique.
"There's no trouble looking." Ashley said picking up a baby onesie. "How much stuff did you keep after Ava?"
"We only have the pram and the baby basket. We sold everything else to make some space and get some money. We didn't expect to have another one so soon." She replied, regretting that decision now.
"We should start buying things now then." Ashley smiled. "Have to told Caleb's dad yet?"
"Yeah, he came around for dinner last week and we told him." Hanna answered.
"How did he take it?"
"He was surprised at first but then he seemed happy. He want it to be a boy too." She said rolling her eyes.
"What about your father?" Ashley asked. "When was the last time you saw him?"
"Last time we saw him was on Christmas Eve. He dropped a present for Ava off and spent the whole time he was there glaring at Caleb."
"So are you going to tell him?"
"I don't know." Hanna sighed. "I'm scared he'll punch Caleb again or something."
"You still need to tell him Hanna, he deserves to know he's getting another grandchild." Ashley said walking out to a rack of baby clothes.
"I know and I will." She sighed picking up one of the onesies. "I have to get this." She grinned showing it to her mom. It was plane white the red writing saying 'I'm cute, moms cute, dads lucky'.
Ashley let out a small laugh. "I'm sure Caleb will love it."
"You should get this one." She said picking up another onesie that said 'I love my big sister'.
When Hanna and Ashley left the shop they walked over to the park where Caleb, Ted and Ava were. Caleb was sat on a bench whilst Ted pushed Ava on a swing. Ashley went straight to Ted and Ava as Hanna went to Caleb.
"How much did you buy?" Caleb asked as soon as she saw her walking towards him with a shopping bag.
"Not much." She replied sitting down next to him. "Two onesies and a dress for Ava." She pulled them out and showed them to him. He laughed at the one Hanna had picked and put them back in the bag.
"I want it to be a boy." Caleb said placing his hand on her belly.
"I know you do." She chuckled. "But you'll have to wait nine six more months to find out."
"I thought we were finding out from the scan, I don't want to wait until it's born." Caleb complained.
"No, I don't want to ruin the surprise."
"Why Han, we waited with Ava and you know I hate surprises." He whined.
Hanna just shook her head again and shut him up with a kiss.
"We're still calling him Caleb junior." Caleb smirked pulling away.
Hanna laughed and moved closer to him. "No we are not."
"Well what other names do you suggest?" He asked wrapping his arm around her shoulders.
"If it's a girl I like Mia and a boy Jacob." She suggested.
Caleb shook his head. "Nope. None of them are as good as Caleb."
"We are not naming our baby Caleb." Hanna said, she thought it was a good idea to move on from this conversation before they started arguing.
Ava toddler up to them and Hanna lifted her up onto her knee. "Hey baby." She smiled.
"No baby." Ava said shaking her head. Then she looked down at Hanna's belly and poked it.
"Are you excited for your baby brother?" Caleb asked.
"Or sister." Hanna added slapping Caleb's arm.
"Me want a baby bruver." She said smirking over at Caleb.
"You, missy," Hanna began. "Have been spending too much time with your daddy."
