Next Day.

Sunday afternoon.

Caleb rings the doorbell at Toby's and after a little while, Ezra answers the door.

Ezra "Hi, man" he greets Caleb. "Come in, we are upstairs"

They go upstairs and then to the baby's room where Toby is unpacking a huge package that Caleb assumes it's the crib.

Caleb "Let me help you" he says and grabs the top part of the package so Toby can open it more easily. "Where's Spence?"

Toby shrugs. "She left this morning. She took my truck"

Ezra chuckles. "She's trying to get rid of that old truck at all costs, huh?" he jokes.

But Toby remains serious. "She is not trying to get rid of anything"

Ezra "Maybe she is throwing it off a cliff right now" he goes on.

Toby "She gave me that truck as a present. She only wants me to be able to take the baby with me if necessary and I can't do that in that truck. That's all" he makes it clear.

Ezra "Chill, I was just kidding, buddy"

Caleb "Is everything okay?" He asks Toby. It's obvious that he is in a bad mood and that's just so unlike him.

Toby "Spencer and I had a fight last night. She made me sleep on the couch" he says while taking one of the pieces of the crib.

Caleb "Oh…" he only says and is about to change the subject not to meddle in Toby and Spencer's relationship issues, but Toby speaks again. It seems like he wants to talk.

Toby "She got mad at me because I told her I had to work at night this week too. She was furious… I can't help it, it's my job. I'm a freaking cop, of course I have to take night shifts sometimes. She is driving me nuts, guys. This pregnancy thing and its mood swings are just taking us apart. Sometimes I don't even recognize her, she gets so irrational. I mean, it's my job we are talking about. It's not like I'm going out at night for fun"

Caleb wants to say something, but he really doesn't know what to say. It's like he has no idea what to say because he has no idea what Toby is going through. Luckily for him, Ezra seems more knowledgeable in the subject and takes the word.

Ezra "She is pregnant, man. You need to be patient… And she is barely on her first trimester, for what I have heard, months of mood swings await you. Just get a more comfortable couch and try to make it through the pregnancy in one piece" he pats Toby's shoulder.

Toby "Yeah, well… I just hope it gets better at some point… maybe when the baby finally comes"

Ezra "Sure it will. You will forget about everything the moment you see that baby"

The guys keep talking about random things as they put the crib together. And when they are done with it, they start working on the baby dresser.

Toby "So, Caleb… aren't you planning to go to California before summer ends?" he asks at some point while adjusting a screw.

Caleb looks at him confused.

Toby "Aren't you gonna introduce Hanna to your family?"

Caleb doesn't get it at first, but then he understands. Toby is talking about the family he made up not to make his grandfather feel bad for his shitty childhood. The adoptive family that his grandfather died thinking he had back in California.

Caleb "I have no family in California"

Toby "What do you mean? Your grandpa told me about them. My dad invited him over for Christmas a couple of years ago because he said you couldn't come here because you were in Cali with your fam"

Caleb "It's a long story… but the truth is that I have no family in California… or anywhere else, for that matter" he says and goes on putting a drawer together.

But Toby won't let go of the subject.

Toby "How so?"

Caleb sighs. He doesn't really feel like talking about all that at the moment, but he has to. "I made that up. No family ever adopted me. I just went from a foster home to another until I saved enough money to rent my own place"

Toby "So you lied to your grandpa?" he asks with a frown on his face.

Caleb "I didn't mean to lie to him. It just happened"

Toby "It just happened?" he stands up. "Do you have any idea how lonely that poor man was?"

Caleb stands up too. "It wasn't easy for me either, I did what I could. And-"

Toby "Cut the shit, Caleb. So you had no other family and you couldn't even come visit him for Christmas? How many times did you actually come see him after he found you? I never saw you around"

Caleb "I came visit him some times, okay? It's just that-"

Toby "You didn't give a shit about him because you were too busy living your best life in London. The man died alone, Caleb!"

Caleb "That is not true, you don't know the first thing about me. You don't know how things were"

Toby "For all I know, you had a lovely grandfather, a great man, waiting for you here, waiting to get to know you, but you only showed up here how many times? Twice? And all you did was making up a family at the other side of the country so he wouldn't insist you to come visit him more often"

Caleb "Shut up! You know nothing" he stands right in front of Toby.

Toby "You knew he had died when you came here last year, didn't you? You just wanted his stuff, his money, the house. Now it all makes sense. You got rid of all his stuff and renovated the whole place. You didn't give a shit about your grandfather. You didn't even go see his grave. How could I be so stupid! You are just an opportunistic son of a bitch" he pushes Caleb back.

Ezra "Hey! Stop it, you two!" he approaches them. "What the hell, guys?"

Caleb pushes Toby back too. "You are an ass" he says and leaves the room feeling really angry, but not as angry as he feels hurt.

He goes to the front door and opens it to leave. To his surprise, he finds Hanna there, about to ring the doorbell and Chocolate is by her side.

Hanna "Hi, baby" she smiles at him, happy to see him.

Caleb doesn't say a word, he only closes the door behind his back, takes her hand and leads her toward his house.

Hanna "What's wrong?" she asks as they walk. She can see that he is very upset.

Caleb "Nothing is wrong"

They get in Caleb's house. Hanna goes take Chocolate out to the backyard and when she comes back, she finds Caleb sitting on the couch. His arms crossed over his chest. She goes sit on his lap, straddling him.

Hanna "Tell me what's wrong" she tells him while grabbing his arms to uncross them.

Caleb "Nothing is wrong because I have you and that's all I care about" he wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her against him.

Hanna wraps her arms around his neck and hugs him, his cheek crushed against her chest.

Caleb "You are the only person I need in my life. You are my girlfriend and my best friend and I don't need anyone else" he closes his eyes and breathes in her rich scent.

Hanna smiles for a moment, but his cute words won't distract her from the fact that he is obviously upset for some reason.

Hanna "Did anything happen with the guys?" she asks while caressing his hair.

Caleb "Toby is an asshole"

Hanna "What happened?"

Caleb "Nothing. It doesn't matter" he pulls away from her chest and looks up at her. "I've gotta go take a pee"

Hanna nods and gets off of him.

Caleb leaves and comes back a few minutes later. He sits down next to Hanna.

Caleb "Wanna watch a movie or something?" he asks without even looking at her. He is still upset and Hanna knows it.

Hanna "Actually… I was thinking we could take Chocolate to the park…" she suggests.

Caleb looks at her right away. "You sure?"

Hanna nods although she is not one hundred percent sure. The idea of walking Chocolate again after everything that happened still makes her feel anxious, but she wants to cheer Caleb up and staying in, watching a movie, won't work. "I'll go get Chocolate… you go for his ball" she stands up and is about to leave the living room but turns back around to look at him. "Chocolate loved your new backyard, by the way… he ran outside like crazy"

Caleb smiles slightly.

/

Hanna, Caleb and Chocolate are on their way to the park, walking by the sidewalk. They are barely two blocks away from Caleb's house and Hanna is already feeling a little sick. She and Caleb are holding hands and he starts to feel her hand get sweaty. They both have been quiet since they left the house, because Caleb doesn't feel like talking and Hanna just leaves him alone, but now he stops walking and looks at her.

Caleb "We don't have to do this… we can go back to my place and grab the car"

Hanna shakes her head no. "I'm okay"

Caleb "Doesn't seem so"

Hanna "I may be a little nervous, but I want to do this"

Caleb "Okay, just let me know anything"

Hanna smiles at him and gets closer to place a very tender kiss on his cheek. "I'll be fine because I'm with you" she squeezes his hand.

Caleb smiles at her and Hanna is happy because she got to make him smile even though he is feeling down.

Hanna looks at Chocolate who is staring at them expectantly, probably because he wants to keep walking. Caleb is holding his leash.

Hanna "Wanna go to the park, baby?" she asks him and the dog barks and starts to wag his tail.

Caleb "Let's go, buddy"

They resume their way to the park and once they get there, they go sit down on the grass at their usual spot underneath a big tree. Caleb unleashes Chocolate and then throws away the little red ball that the dog loves. He watches the dog go after it while resting his back on the tree behind him. Hanna is sitting cross-legged next to him. She reaches out and takes Caleb's hand again. Holding hands with him lowers her stress level and makes her feel safe.

Caleb intertwines their fingers and rests their joined hands on his thigh. "Come closer"

Hanna smiles and gets closer to him. She leans on his side and rests her head on his shoulder. She feels more relaxed now that they are at the park.

Chocolate comes back and gives Caleb the little red ball. They keep doing that for a long while, Caleb throwing the ball and Chocolate fetching it. Hanna can tell that Caleb is pensive. He is absent-minded and his face is expressionless. She thought he would feel better faster, but apparently, whatever happened between Toby and him is really upsetting him.

Hanna "Don't you wanna talk?"

Caleb "About?"

Hanna "About the weather" she says and rolls her eyes although he can't see her. "About whatever happened at Toby's, what do you think I want to talk about?" she says with sarcasm.

Caleb "It was nothing"

Hanna "It's obviously not nothing. You seem… hurt"

Caleb stays silent. Hanna leaves him alone for a couple of minutes but then she lifts her head from his shoulder and looks at him. She notices that his eyes have become glassy.

Hanna "You are starting to get used to talk about your good emotions and feelings little by little, I can tell that. I almost died of love last night when you told me you loved me in front of the girls" she tells him as she takes her free hand to their joined hands and starts to caress his hand with both of hers. "But when it comes to negative emotions, you just keep them to yourself. I want to be there for you just like you were there for me all these days… well, you have been there for me since we met basically. Talk to me… I promise you will feel better"

Caleb looks at her.

Hanna "Really" she takes one of her hands to his chest. "This weight you feel here when you feel upset, it will go away if you talk it out. I felt so much better the other day at the lake after talking to you. I never thought you would understand me that much" she smiles at him. "It made me feel much closer to you"

Caleb "I don't even know how I feel myself, Han… it's like I'm really pissed off at myself for being upset because of Toby. One moment, I want to go punch him in the face and the next moment, I want to punch myself in the face for wanting to go punch him in the face because he is not even worth it. He is not worth my anger"

Hanna is surprised to hear what Caleb just said. "So bad was it?"

Caleb "I was one second away from punching him in the face"

Hanna "What happened?"

Caleb "Apparently my grandfather told him about my adoptive family from California, the one I made up. He went crazy when he found out it was all a lie"

Hanna "Didn't you tell him how things were? What you told me at the Radley?"

Caleb "He didn't give me time. I had no chance to explain myself. He got all worked up and started to accuse me of being an opportunist and shit. I went crazy too and I had to leave not to beat his ass up"

Hanna "You two need to clear the air. I'm sure he will understand you when you tell him about your childhood and how you started to make up things when you met your grandpa not to make him feel guilty, not to hurt him"

Caleb "I don't want to tell Toby anything. I only shared it with you. I'm not interested in being friends with him. He can go fuck himself"

Chocolate lies down next to Caleb, exhausted from fetching the ball for so long.

Hanna "He made a mistake. I'm pretty sure he didn't mean what he said"

Caleb "He meant it, believe me. I thought we had become friends, but he doesn't know me at all if he thinks I was just after my grandfather's money. He doesn't know the first thing about me"

Hanna "He was close to your grandpa, babe. They used to hang out a lot. A lot of times I went see Spence at their place and he wasn't there because he was 'at the neighbor's'"

Caleb doesn't answer so she keeps speaking.

Hanna "Take some time to cool off and then talk to him. You know Toby. You can't actually think that he meant what he said. Try to understand him… he must miss your grandpa, he was like a grandfather to him too"

Caleb is staring into space but Hanna can see a single little tear escape his eye and then roll down on his cheek. She can't believe it. She never saw Caleb crying before. She feels her heart break. Caleb wipes that tear off of his face right away.

Hanna "Boo" she says like if that sweet cheesy teenage nickname came out right from her heart, unlike all the previous times when she just said it playfully. "Don't be sad" she adds while letting go of his hand to pull him in a hug.

Caleb hugs her back.

Hanna "I'll talk to Toby myself… I'll make him come to his senses. He can't really think that you are just an opportunist… you actually already had much more money than your grandfather when you met him. And you also saved my life for god's sake. I'm sure he wasn't thinking when he said that to you"

Caleb "I don't give a shit about Toby, Han" he pulls away from the hug, already pulling himself back together, like if he couldn't allow himself to look vulnerable. "It just that he said some things that made me think. He wasn't that wrong. I did not come for my grandpa's money, that's bullshit. But I could have spent more time with him… instead of just keeping some distance between us"

Hanna "Don't be so hard on yourself, babe… it wasn't easy for you. Your grandfather just showed up in your life when you were already an adult, and you did what you could"

Caleb smiles at her. "I wish he was here, I wish he could meet you"

Hanna "I would have loved to meet him too" she kisses Caleb's cheek. "Anyway, don't keep torturing yourself about what you could have done. Just be grateful for what you got the chance to share with him. It doesn't matter how much time it was, it was obviously enough to leave a mark in your life, and that's what counts… you miss him, don't you?"

Caleb nods.

Hanna "Well, then you didn't waste your little time with him"

Caleb is on the verge of tears again. Hanna's words just touched his heart.

Hanna "And you ended up in this freaking town because of your grandpa too. That brought you into my life" she smiles. "Well, technically, into Chocolate's life… and then you just stole him from me" she jokes.

Caleb chuckles with his eyes all glassy and Hanna thinks right away that that is the cutest thing she has ever seen.

Caleb "I thought we were over that"

Hanna laughs too. "Yes, we are. But that I forgave you doesn't change the fact that you stole my dog"

Caleb shrugs. "I would do that all over again because it brought me to this very moment"

Hanna shoots him a very tender smile before grabbing his face in her hands to start a kiss. That kiss calms Caleb's emotions. It helps him chill out. He was right after all, Hanna is all that he needs. They kiss for a while, until Hanna's phone beeping like crazy makes them pull away.

Hanna "It's Mona… she wants to meet up at my place…" she says after reading Mona's texts.

Caleb "Tell her you are busy" he hugs her from the side, wrapping his arms around her waist and places a few kisses on her neck while Hanna is on her phone.

Hanna "She says it's important…" she stares at Caleb. She doesn't really want to leave him alone, but he looks much better.

Caleb "Fine… let's go get your car, then" he places one more kiss on her lips and lets go of her. "But you are not allowed to leave town with that girl again" he smiles at her.

Hanna "Not allowed?" she chuckles. "I don't need your permission" she says while standing up.

Caleb stands up too and so does Chocolate.

Caleb "Just be careful, Han… I don't like that girl" he has stopped joking and is talking seriously now.

Hanna "You don't know her, Caleb"

Caleb "I know that she abandoned you in Philly" he says while putting Chocolate back on his leash.

Hanna "She didn't know what I was going through"

Caleb "She tried to set you up with Sean by lying about us"

Hanna "We are done with this conversation" she doesn't want to argue with Caleb. "Let's get going" she takes his hand.

They go back to Caleb's where Hanna's car is parked. They stand next to the car to say goodbye.

Hanna pecks Caleb's lips. "Call me before going to sleep"

Caleb nods and is about to open the rear door of her car to get Chocolate in the back seat, but Hanna stops him.

Hanna "Don't. Keep him… it's your turn"

Caleb "Didn't know we were taking turns" he smiles amused. "You sure?"

Hanna "Yeah… let him enjoy himself in your beautiful backyard… but you are not allowed to leave town with him or I'm calling the cops" she jokes.

Caleb "Thought you didn't like the police involved in your issues" he jokes back, but right after finishing the phrase, he realizes it wasn't something to joke about. "I'm sorry, it wasn't funny" he apologizes immediately.

Hanna "It's fine, babe" she gives him a reassuring little smile. "Call me" she says again.

Caleb "Yeah, I will" he kisses her on the mouth. "Bye, babe"

Hanna "Bye"

/

Later. Hanna's kitchen.

Hanna "No, Mona. I told you. I don't want a job in New York. I won't move back to there"

Mona "Hanna, you wanted me to help you get a job and that's what I'm trying to do. This is a great opportunity for you. Take it"

They are sitting at the kitchen island.

Hanna "I won't. My whole life is here now. I have no reason to go back to New York… I love it there, but if I go back to that city, it will be only to go shopping"

Mona "Your career isn't a reason?"

Hanna "Yes, but I can do it here. It can wait. I told you I've got a job interview at the mall tomorrow… If I get that job, I might be able to start making my dresses in a year" she stands up from her seat and approaches the fridge. "Want something to drink?"

Mona "In a year? How much money do you need?"

Hanna "It's not only for making the dresses… I'm kind of broke… I haven't had a job since I quit my job in New York when Chocolate went missing here… I was gonna get a new job when I moved back there with Jordan but he asked me to put it off so I could accompany him on his trips. I'm running out of savings now… I spent a lot of money on hospital bills a couple of weeks ago… What would you like to drink?" she asks again, still looking into the fridge.

Mona "You were in the hospital, Han?" she asks surprised.

Hanna "Oh… yes…" she wants to kick herself for slipping that out, she didn't mean to tell Mona about it. "It was nothing, really... The thing is that I'll go to that job interview tomorrow because I want a job here in Rosewood" she takes out a soda for herself. "Do you want something to drink or not?" she asks once again, out of patience now.

Mona "No, I don't want anything… Hanna, they will pay you much more money in New York. Just let me arrange you an interview and you will see. My contact there owes me a huge favor and you are a great designer, I'm telling you the job is yours"

Hanna closes the fridge. "Thank you, Mona… but my answer is no"

The doorbell interrupts their conversation.

Hanna puts her soda on the kitchen countertop. "Be right back" she tells Mona and leaves the kitchen.

Hanna takes a look through the peephole and finds Spencer standing there, holding a little box.

Hanna "Hi, Spence" she greets her friend after opening the door.

Spencer shoots her a smile. "Hey, you!"

Hanna gets to see Emily, Aria and Alison too now. They are taking some more boxes from the bed of Toby's truck which is parked right in front of her house.

Hanna "What are you guys doing here? What are all those boxes?" she asks confused.

Spencer "Your stuff, Han… we got it all back from Jordan's apartment"

Hanna "You went to New York?"

Spencer "Yeah… Emily gave Jordan a call and he sent someone to open the apartment for us…"

Emily "Hi, Han" she approaches her with a grin on her face. She is carrying another box, much bigger than Spencer's.

Hanna "Hey" she only says while moving to the side so her friends can get into the house.

Aria "Heeey, Han!"

Alison "Han!"

They both greet Hanna too while getting inside, they are carrying a big box together.

Spencer "Is there any other box left in the truck?"

Emily "No, this is all…"

Hanna closes the door and they all go to the kitchen. The girls find Mona in there and although they don't like seeing her there, they just greet her politely and Mona greets them back the same way.

Mona approaches Hanna. "I'll get going, Han"

Hanna nods and walks her to the front door.

Mona "Think about what I told you, please"

Hanna "Yeah, I will…" she says although she knows for sure that there's no way she is moving back to New York. She loves that city, but she loves what she has in Rosewood much more than anything else.

Mona "Bye, Han"

Hanna "Bye… see you"

Hanna goes back to the kitchen. Aria and Alison have placed the big box on the floor and the other ones are on the table.

Hanna "Guys… you didn't have to do this…"

Alison "Of course we had. We acted like jerks"

Emily "Yeah… and we know this isn't enough to make anything up to you, but we just wanted to do something nice for you"

Spencer "We are so sorry, Han. Really sorry… we just want to go back to normal. We want you to know that you can count on us for anything"

Aria "We love you, Han"

Hanna smiles. "I love you too, guys"

Aria goes hug Hanna and then the rest of the girls join the hug. When they pull away, Alison approaches the big box and opens it.

Alison "Come see"

Hanna goes take a look and the biggest grin appears on her face. "My sewing machine!" she says excited. "Oh my god, guys. This is awesome… thank you so much"

Emily "You don't have to thank us… it's yours" she chuckles. "We just got it back"

Hanna "I thought Jordan would just get rid of my stuff"

Aria "Well, he hasn't gone back to New York since you broke up yet, so I guess you were lucky"

Spencer "I have to say that this was much easier than I thought. I had pictured tons of your stuff all over Jordan's apartment… clothes, shoes, purses… but you had very few things in there, Han… and your sewing machine wasn't even unpacked… I took Toby's truck because I thought we would need much more room for all your things, but they would have fit in my car"

Hanna "Yeah… it's just that Jordan was a neat freak, so I only took a few things with me when I moved in his place"

She goes open one of the little boxes on the table and smiles at seeing a frame with a picture of Chocolate. Jordan never let her put it anywhere because the frame was pink and it didn't match the style of his apartment. She also finds her laptop in that box.

Hanna "Thank you, guys. This means a lot to me" she looks at them. "Wanna stay for dinner?"

Emily "Sure"

Aria "Yeah, totally"

Spencer just nods.

Alison "Let's order some sushi, please!"

Spencer "Yeah, let's take advantage of the fact that the men aren't here. Toby doesn't like sushi"

Hanna "Okay, sushi is it then!"

Emily grins. She missed their girls' nights. "And you have to tell us everything about Caleb and you, Han"

Hanna smiles widely. "Yeah"
