"Mommy it's snowing!" Ava smiled standing up on the chair so she could see out of the window better.
"I know baby." Hanna replied. "It's gonna be a white Christmas." It was Christmas Eve and Hanna and Ava were waiting for Caleb to bring over their bacon and eggs.
"Here you go princess." He said putting the plate of food down in front of her. He turned around and spotted his son walk over to the kitchen table, still dressed in his pyjamas.
"Look who's awake." Hanna smiled pulling him onto her knee.
"Whys Connor up so late?" Ava asked as she started eating her food.
"Because he was awake very early this morning." Hanna explained, trying to sort out her four year olds blonde bed hair. Connor had woken up very early in the morning and came running into his parents room thinking it was Christmas Day. It had taken a few minutes for Hanna and Caleb to explain that it Christmas was tomorrow. Eventually Caleb had taken him back to bed and he hadn't woken up until now.
"Do you want some food Con?" Caleb asked. Connor nodded and let out a huge yawn.
"When are we going to the park?"
"After we've eaten your breakfast and daddy gets dressed we can go." Hanna replied as Caleb handed her a plate of food and passed one to Connor as well.
Ava started giggling. "Daddy's still in his pj's."
"That's because I was awake half the night with you." Caleb replied looking at Connor. He started giggling as well and started stuffing food in to his mouth.
"Who's coming for Christmas tomorrow?" Ava asked.
"No one its just us." Hanna replied. "Grandma Ash and grandpa Ted are in South America helping people remember. And we'll see Grandma Claudia at New Year."
"What about Grandpa Jamie and Grandpa Tom?" Connor asked.
"Grandpa Jamie is in Texas." Caleb added.
"What about Grandpa Tom? How come he never comes to see us?" Ava asked. Hanna sighed. The last time her dad had visited was on Ava's birthday. He hadn't told them he was coming and just stopped by to give her a present with Isabel before leaving again. "Is it because he doesn't like daddy?" Ava asked.
"Who said that?" Hanna asked, curious as to where she had picked it up.
"Daddy." Ava mumbled with her mouth full of food.
Hanna's glance immediately shot up to Caleb. He just shrugged and looked back at his food. "When?"
"At the wedding when he was talking to Toby and I was dancing. And then daddy called Grandpa Tom a pastard." She answered innocently.
"Caleb!" Hanna scolded.
"Actually, I called him a bastard…" He muttered, remembering that conversation. He had no idea Ava was listening.
"Stop swearing." Hanna warned. "And don't let her listen in on your conversations." She said, rolling her eyes. She was more annoyed that Ava had herd than what he had actually called her father because she agreed with him.
All of a sudden Connor jumped up on Hanna's knee and pointed outside. "SNOW!" He shouted excitedly.
"Yeah baby." Hanna smiled pulling him back down onto her lap. "Did you not see it before?"
He shook his head and carried on eating. "The post came this morning." Ava said pointing to the letter in the middle of the table. Hanna picked it up and opened it.
"What is it?" Caleb asked, picking up the empty plates and putting them in the sink.
"Its the confirmation of my early graduation." She replied. After having Connor and going back to collage Hanna had worked her ass of to graduate and now she finally had.
"Does that mean that your really clever now?" Ava asked. "Cleverer than daddy."
"I'm smarter than mommy." Caleb teased.
"You don't have one of these, do you?" Hanna replied waving the letter around.
"I'm still smarter than you."
"Your worse at remembering things though." Ava chipped in.
"Am not." Caleb said between Hanna and Ava.
They all nodded. "You are. You forgot Aunt Spencer and Uncle Toby's rings." Connor giggled.
Spencer and Toby had got married two weeks ago and Caleb was best man which meant that he had the rings. Toby had his bachelor party the night before the wedding so him and Caleb both woke up with really bad hangovers. When they got to the church every thing was going great until the priest asked Caleb for the rings. He completely froze and had to drive back to the hotel to get the rings while Spencer had a meltdown on the altar. He returned half an hour later and handed the rings over. After that everything when smoothly.
"That was Toby's fault for getting me drunk the night before." Caleb said.
Hanna laughed. "Well you can rule out god father for Aria and Ezra's baby when its born. You'll probably forget the baby."
Caleb chuckled and looked back at his family who were still all laughing at him. Whenever they were all together it brought a smile to his face.
"What's that?" Connor asked again pointing to the name at the top of the letter Hanna was still holding.
"My name. It says Hanna Marin."
Ava looked at her confused. "Why are our last names different?" She asked.
"Because when your born you get your daddy's last name." Hanna explained. "So you, Connor and daddy have the same."
"When will you get Rivers as yours?" She asked still confused.
Hanna smiled and looked up at Caleb. "You'll have to ask daddy."
Ava slid off her chair and jumped onto Caleb's knee standing on his thighs. "When will mommy get the same last name as us?" She asked.
"When me and mommy get married." He said.
"When's that?" Ava asked.
Caleb shrugged, holding in a smirk. "I dunno."
"Daddy has to propose first." Hanna said. "He has to give me a big diamond ring or I won't say yes." She teased.
Connor jumped off Hanna's knee and onto Caleb's. He cupped his ear in his small hand and whispered into it. "I think you should give mommy a ring."
"Really?" He asked as he started tickling both of their sides.
They both burst out giggling and jumped off his knee. "Can we go to the park now?" Ava asked.
Caleb nodded and stood up. "Let me have a shower and get changed first." He said making his way to the bathroom.
Hanna took Ava and Connor through to their bedroom to get them ready. She dressed Connor and helped Ava pull on her coat as she was already dressed. They still shared a bedroom at the small apartment but Hanna and Caleb had made it work. Ava's bed was in one side of he room and Connor's was at the other. The wall were painted white and they both had shelves above their beds with all their toys.
"Where's my hat and gloves?" Ava asked.
"Err, they might be in the draw in our room." Hanna replied as she followed Ava to Hanna and Caleb's bedroom and started rummaging through one of the drawers.
Caleb entered with just a towel wrapped around his waist and a few drops of water still on his shoulders. He pulled Hanna towards him with the hand that wasn't holding his towel up and wrapped it around her bringing his lips to hers. He carried on kissing her and wrapped both of his arms around Hanna, forgetting about the towel and their six year old daughter who was still looking through the drawers. Hanna felt the towel slip though and reached around to grab his butt holding the it in place. Caleb groaned as she pulled away from the kiss and gripped the towel again.
"Daddy I wanna see your tattoos." Ava interrupted, moving behind him.
Caleb rolled his eyes slightly but let her look anyway. When Connor was born he got his sons name added to his back and now both his children were fascinated by their names being tattooed onto their daddy's back and were constantly asking to see them whenever he had no top on.
"Come on," Hanna said leading Ava out. "Let's let daddy get ready in peace."
They went back into Connor and Ava's room to find Connor with his coat on upside down and the right welly on his left foot. "Con, come here." Hanna said calling him over so she could help him.
"Connor can't even get himself dressed." Ava giggled.
Connor turned around and blew a raspberry in her face.
"Stop it." Hanna warned looking at them both.
Caleb appeared in the door way fully dressed and with his coat. "Can we go now?" Connor asked looking up at him. He nodded and they all made there way out of the apartment and towards Central Park.
—
They were walking through Central Park when Ava ran over to a pile of snow and picked it up in her hands. She threw it into the air and let it fall around her.
Hanna and Caleb smiled at their daughter and walked over to her. Caleb picked up some if the snow and made it into a snow ball in his hands. He looked over at Connor who was trying to make one as well.
"Daddy I can't do it." He complained walking over to him as the snow stuck to his gloves.
"Here." He smiled handing him the one he's just made.
He threw it to the ground and burst out laughing. Caleb picked up more snow and made another snow ball. He threw it in Ava's direction but at the last second she turned around the receive a snow ball in the face.
"Shit." Caleb mumbled as she started to cry.
Hanna rushed over to her and bent down to her level wiping the snow off his face. "Your okay. It's just snow." Hanna soothed, wiping away her tears.
"Daddy's mean isn't he?" Hanna muttered shaking her head at Caleb who had walked over to them.
He scooped Ava up in his arms and pressed a kiss onto her cheek.
"I'm sorry princess." He said as she settled into his chest.
Hanna whispered something in to Ava's ear and smiled. The little girl started giggling and nodded.
Caleb wiped her tears away with his thumb and set her back down on the ground. When he stood up Hanna crept up behind him and threw a pile of freezing cold snow on top of him.
Hanna and Ava both burst out laughing as Caleb tried to get the snow out of his coat.
"Help me." He begged giving them puppy eyes.
Hanna nodded still chuckling and walked behind him. "Your gonna need to take your coat off to get it out." She chuckled.
Caleb groaned and reluctantly took his coat of so he was just in his jumper. He stood there shivering whilst she dusted off all the snow from his coat and handed it back to him. Connor walked over to them and was laughing as well having seen Hanna throw the snow on Caleb.
"What are you laughing at?" Caleb smiled and leaned forward to pick him up. He tickled his sides until Connor threw his head back against Caleb's shoulder. He set him down and looked over to where Hanna and Ava were playing in the snow.
"Hey, Con. Come here." Caleb said taking his hand and walking over to a tree.
"What daddy?" Connor asked.
"I'm gonna show you how to make yellow snow." Caleb smirked squatting down to Connors level.
Hanna was helping Ava build a snow man when she looked over to Caleb and Connor and couldn't believe her eyes. "What are you doing?" She shouted marching over to Caleb.
"Makin' yellow snow." Connor replied pointing to the now yellow snow underneath him. Caleb burst out laughing and stood back up.
"Connor pull your pants up." Hanna said trying her best not to laugh.
She slapped Caleb's chest and he pulled her closer to him.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't resist." He laughed leaning down to press a kiss on her lips. She was about to pull away but got distracted by Caleb's tongue.
"Can I make yellow snow?" Ava asked walking up to them.
"No."
"Why?"
"Because it's naughty." Hanna huffed.
"Your naughty." Ava said poking Connor's arm. He blew a raspberry at her again and flicked her hand away.
"No, daddy's naughty for teaching him how to do it." Hanna said rolling her eyes.
Caleb smirked and wrapped his arm around her shoulders pressing a kiss to her cheek whilst his other hand slipped down the back of her jeans. "I am naughty, aren't I?" He squeezed her ass cheek twice before pulling his hand out.
"Very." She smirked leaning in to kiss him again.
"Stop!" Connor shouted at Ava as she carried on poking him.
"Ava, stop winding him up." Hanna called pulling away from Caleb. She didn't listen and were soon both poking each other.
"Stop it." Caleb warned pulling out his stern tone and separating them both. They both stopped as soon as he pulled out the mean voice.
"Mommy, I'm hungry." Connor whined walking up to Hanna. She lifted him into her arms and kissed his soft cheek. 2Shall we go get some food then?"
—
"The pizza's here!" Ava announced as she ran to the front door and opened it. She pulled it out of the pizza delivery guys hand and was about to close the door on him when Caleb got there, stopping her.
He handed the guy twenty dollars and closed the door. "You have to pay for pizza, it's not free."
Ava rolled her eyes and turned back towards the sofa. She struggled to carry the pizza box as it was nearly bigger than her. She dropped it on the floor and before she could pick it up Caleb picked her up instead. He held her against his chest and started tickling her. "Don't roll your eyes at me." He warned as an infectious giggle erupted from her mouth.
"Stop Daddy." She laughed wriggling in his arms. "Stop."
"Not until I get a kiss."
Ava turned around and stuck her tongue out at him. He did the same and made her laugh even more.
"Come on you two, the films going to start." Hanna called from where she was sat with Connor waiting for some pizza. She leant down and pressed a sloppy kiss onto his cheek. "Eww, mommy." He moaned wiping it quickly.
Hanna sat up and went to get some plates from the kitchen for the pizza but when she went back into the living room they had all started eating the pizza. She huffed and set the played down on the side before grabbing a piece and sitting down next to Caleb. "If they drop any pizza on my carpet your getting the blame." She warned Caleb.
"Why me?"
"Because you don't eat with a plate and they copy you." She answered.
"Okay babe, whatever." He shrugged wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "What film are we watching?"
"Frozen!" Ava shouted.
"No." Caleb and Conner both replied at the same time.
"Why?"
"Because it's annoying." Caleb said.
"What about Home Alone?" Hanna asked taking the remote from Caleb. They all finally agreed on it and Hanna cuddled into Caleb's side with her legs swung over his. At some point Connor and Ava joined them and they were all squeezed on to the sofa. They brought a duvet from the bedroom and snuggled under it.
When the film finished the kids were both yawning and rubbing their eyes. "Time for bed." Hanna said standing up and picking Connor up.
"No. I don't want to." Ava protested but Caleb picked her up any way.
"The faster you go to sleep the faster Santa comes." He said carrying her to the bedroom.
She rolled he eyes and huffed but complied anyway. Connor was out first after being pretty tired from playing in the snow. Hanna leant over and pressed a kiss onto his head as Caleb battled to get Ava in her pyjamas.
"Let me do it." She demanded taking the top from is hands.
He walked over to Connor and pressed a kiss on his head. "Night buddy." He whispered.
"Daddy come say night." Ava called as she slipped under the covers.
He walked over and pressed a kiss on her head. "Night princess."
"Night night." She yawned. Hanna leant down and kissed her before making sure the covers would keep her warm.
They closed the door to the room silently and Hanna took Caleb's hand leading him to the bedroom. She kneeled down at the side of the bed and pulled out two large bags of presents. Caleb helped her carry them back to the living room and they started putting them under the tree. When they were done hey collapsed onto the sofa and Hanna pulled the duvet back over them. He instantly leant down and started trailing kisses along her cheek to her lips.
"I can't believe this is our last Christmas in New York." She sighed.
Caleb pulled away and wrapped his arms around her. "You better not change your mind about moving. We've already bought the house."
"No, I'm not. I can't wait to move back to Rosewood but I'm going to miss it just being us." She replied.
"What? Just all four of us crammed into this tiny apartment, trampling over each other." He asked.
"It's cosy." She shrugged.
"Well in the new house the kids can have their own room and a garden like I promised them." He said.
Hanna smiled too. "They're going to be out playing every day and we'll be able to see my mom a lot more, they'll love it." She smiled and wriggled back down so she was curled up into his side. "I remember our first Christmas here." She whispered.
"Me too. Ava was sleeping in her basket thing and we were busy in the sofa." He smirked.
"I miss her being a tiny baby. She was so cute." She smiled.
"From what I remember she was a nightmare compared to Connor." Caleb remarked.
"He was such an easy baby compared to Ava." Hanna said thinking back to when Connor was born. Unlike Ava he loved to sleep and spent the first few months eating and sleeping.
"It was a good job. I don't think we would have coped if he wasn't."
"He was so happy as well. He used to smile at everyone." Hanna chuckled.
"He's still like that now."
"I know. I miss him being a baby too." She mumbled. "Both my babies are growing up."
"Do you want more?" Caleb asked, seriously.
Hanna looked up at him. "Do you?"
He shrugged. "I love it how it is now," She started. "But I guess maybe in a few years another baby would be nice. When we're settled back in Rosewood and the kids are a bit older."
"Yeah, I'd like another one too. But not right now." Caleb smiled.
Hanna sat up and pressed a kiss to his lips. "You know, I was wrong about you." He said looking up at her.
"What do you mean?" She asked rolling over so she was straddling him.
"When I met you I thought you were just another stuck up, blonde bitch. But I was wrong." He admitted.
Hanna smiled and cupped his cheek with her hand.
"Really you were another dumb blonde." He smirked.
Hanna moved her hand away and slapped his arm. "I am not a dumb blonde."
"Really? You were stupid enough to fall in love with me." He smirked again.
Hanna couldn't hold back her huge grin anymore and leant down to give him another passionate kiss. "That was the best mistake I ever made."
His tongue slipped between her lips and melted into hers. Hanna's teeth bit down onto his bottom lip and she pulled away, lying back down in his chest. "I was wrong about you too." She murmured. "I thought you was this player-bad boy that didn't give two shits about something if it didn't get you high or suck your cock."
Caleb let out a loud laugh at that comment. Hanna laughed too but then carried on. "Then I realised you're a teddy bear inside."
"I wasn't a teddy bear before I met you." He said kissing her head.
"I turned my bad boy good." She smiled patting his chest. "And into the worlds best daddy."
"Your not a bad mommy yourself."
Hanna sat up again and pressed their foreheads together. Caleb tried to catch her lips in his but she pulled back and looked into his eyes. "What?" He whispered, furrowing his eyebrows slightly.
"Nothing," She smiled. "I just love looking into your eyes."
"Why?"
"Because they're what made me fall in love with you." She replied simply.
"Are you sure it wasn't my ass?" He smirked. Hanna chuckled and sat back slightly. "I mean you only kissed me after you checked me out in the shower so…"
"I was not checking you out!"
Caleb laughed. "You totally were."
She sighed in defeat. "It was definitely your eyes though, even if you have a nice ass."
"It was your eyes that made me notice you but your big heart made me fall in love with you." Caleb admitted looking up at her.
She leant down and kissed him again, loving how he could be joking around one second and then the next pour his heart out to her.
"You know," He smirked pulling away. "When you walked in on my shower the first thing I wanted to do was rip your clothes off and take you against the shower wall." His hands found their way under the jumped she was wearing and he effortlessly pulled it over her head. "Exactly like this." He smirked sitting up and pulling her body closer to his.
—
"Connor, wake up." Ava whispered jumping up to his bed.
He didn't reply so she pulled his covers back. "Connor wake up!"
Connor sat up and rubbed his eyes. "What?" He grumbled.
"It's Christmas!" Ava exclaimed.
His eyes suddenly grew big and he jumped out of the bed. They both raced to the door reaching it at the same time. Ava squeezed through it first and started racing to the living room.
"Wait!" Connor called, grabbing the hem of her pyjama top. "We have to wake mommy and daddy."
Ava looked back at the Christmas tree before she started running to Hanna and Caleb's bedroom with Connor following close behind. They both flung themselves onto the bed and started jumping up and down.
"Wake up, it's Christmas!"
"Mommy, Daddy, wake up!"
Hanna sees fluttered open and she rolled onto her back. "Merry Christmas." She grinned up at her two babies.
"Merry Christmas." Ava giggled back. Hanna patted the bed and they both knelt down next to her snuggling under the covers.
"Do you think Santa's brought some presents?" Hanna asked stroking some of Ava's hair back from her face.
"Yeah!" She squealed.
"Daddy wake up." Connor said poking Caleb's cheek as he slept next to them. "It's Christmas!"
Caleb rolled over and buried his head in the pillow. "Daddy!" Connor shouted as loud as he could.
"I'm awake." He grumbled. "Stop shouting."
"Come on when have to go and open our presents from Santa." Connor whined, grabbing Caleb's hand and pulling it. Caleb wrapped his two arms around Connor and pulled him back down into the bed between him and Ava.
"Come on Mommy." He whined again looking over to where Hanna and Ava were enjoying some morning cuddles.
"We're coming." She laughed encouraging Ava to get off the bed and help Connor down. Then she leaned over, holding the duvet to her chest and pressed a kiss on Caleb's forehead. "Merry Christmas."
He smiled and captured her lips in his. "Merry Christmas too." His arm came to wrap around her bare back and she settled her head on his chest.
Their eyes closed for a few seconds before Connor interrupted them. "Hurry up!"
"Come on, we should get up." She said patting his chest. "They're desperate." She looked over at the door that both the kids were stood in front of ready to race into the living rooms and rip the wrapping paper off.
Caleb leant down and reached for his boxers before pulling them on and getting out of bed. "Babe," Hanna called. "Can you pass me my dressing gown?"
He reached up behind the door and pulled it down, passing it to her. Ava let out a loud giggle and Connor's soon followed. "What?" Hanna asked tying it around her.
"Mommy's naked." Ava laughed.
Caleb let out a small laugh and Hanna turned to him as she got out of the bed. "So were you." She pointed at him and slipped on her slippers.
"I know." He smirked pecking her lips and pulling out some sweat pants and a t-shirt to put on.
"Are you ready?" Hanna asked looking down at Ava and Connor. "Go on then."
At that they both sprinted out of the door and over to the Christmas tree. Ava going to her pile and Connor to his. Caleb wrapped his arm around Hanna's waist as they followed and watched the excited grins on their children's faces. Connor just picked up the nearest present and started to shred the paper, whereas Ava started with the biggest present which was a hug box shaped object. "It's a bike!" She screamed, looking at the picture in the front of the box of a pink sparkly bicycle.
Connor's smile dropped a little bit and Caleb noticed. He knew that a bike had been in the top of his Christmas list and that he was desperate for one.
"Why don't you open this one next, Con?" He suggested pointing to a present at the back.
Connor put down the Lego sat he had just opened and started ripping the paper off the big one. His face lit up more than Ava's when he saw the blue bike under neath. He ran over to Caleb and jumped into his arms. "Thank you, daddy."
Caleb kissed his head. "It's from Santa remember."
"Can you put it together now, Daddy?" Ava asked.
"No, we have to save them for Rosewood remember." He answered putting Connor down so he could carry on opening his presents.
He sat down on the sofa and pulled Hana onto his knee. "Look at their faces." She smiled running her hand down his chest.
"It's definitely worth being woken up at five again."
An hour later the living room was covered in red wrapping paper and toys. Hanna was making two cups of coffee for her and Caleb whilst he was helping Connor build his Lego. "Daddy, can you get the label off this?" Ava asked handing him a new barbie doll.
"Course I can princess." He smiled pulling the plastic until it snapped.
She sat back down but her head soon snapped up and she ran over to the tree. "There's one more present!" She picked up a small wrapped box.
Connor jumped up as well and tried to grab it out of her hand. "Let me see."
"What's that?" Hanna asked walking back in, putting the cups of coffee on the table.
"There's one more present." Ava replied trying to read the writing on the front. "It says h-a- Hanna. Mommy it's for you."
Hanna took it and ripped off the red wrapping paper to find a small black box. She slowly lifted the lid and gasped when she saw the diamond ring that lay inside. She peeled her eyes away from it to look up at Caleb who was stood in front of her now. He took the box from her hands and cleared his throat nervously before getting down on one knee in front of her. Then he asked her the two words she been waiting for since she was sixteen.
"Marry me?"
Hanna's face slowly turned into a huge grin and she grabbed Caleb's hand pulling him back up. She let out a squeal and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Is that a yes?" He asked pulling away slightly.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" She squealed again, pulling his face closer to hers. She kissed him harder than she ever had before.
Caleb pulled away again and took her hand in his and slipped the ring on her finger. Just before their lips were about to connect again, Hanna looked up and smiled at him. He smiled back and melted their lips together once again. After eight years together and two children they were finally going to be husband and wife.
