It wasn't at first sight

Chapter 75

A couple of days later. Saturday.

It's early afternoon when Caleb enters the bedroom. As has become usual, Hanna is taking a nap on the bed with Chocolate napping beside her.

Caleb sits down on the edge of the bed next to her and gently rubs her cheek with his thumb.

Caleb "Baby..." He says softly.

Hanna hears him but decides to ignore him.

Caleb "Han, wake up." He insists.

Hanna frowns, her eyes still shut. "What do you want? I told you not to wake me up from my naps."

Caleb "I know, but we've got somewhere to be, and I don't want us to be late."

Hanna opens her eyes now, looking at him confused.

Caleb "Get up, we are leaving."

Hanna "Where?" She asks, still puzzled.

Caleb grins.

Hanna "Caleb, I hate when you play mysterious, and I hate it even more when I just woke up. Tell me where we're going before I throw the remote at you."

Caleb chuckles. "Think, Hanna. It's not that hard... Where's the one place you most wish to be right now? Right today?"

Hanna pauses for a moment to think, and despite her sleepy head, it doesn't take her long to find the answer. Her eyes widen immediately.

Hanna "Are you serious?" She asks, sitting up.

Caleb smiles wider. "Wouldn't dare to joke about it."

Hanna stares at him, still unable to believe it.

Caleb "Come on, Han. You don't want to be late for your fashion show."

Hanna grins. "Oh my god! Is this for real?" She asks again, her astonishment persisting.

Caleb laughs, nodding.

Hanna pulls him into a hug. "Oh my god! Thank you so much!"

Caleb hugs her back. "You're welcome, baby. But really, get up. I let you nap as much as I could, but we need to leave in fifteen minutes if we want to make it in time." He explains, letting go of her and standing up.

Hanna "What do you mean in fifteen minutes? Oh my god, Caleb! I have nothing to wear for the show!" She says, getting up from the bed.

Caleb "Chill, Han. I took care of everything. I stole Aria's dress from your closet a few days ago, and Lisa and Anna fixed it for you. Ali and Aria picked out a pair of flat shoes, and Chloe got a stylist waiting for us at our hotel to do your hair and makeup. We've got it all covered."

Hanna grins. "Really? You did all that for me?" She approaches him and wraps her arms around his neck.

Caleb nods. "I know how much this fashion show means to you."

Hanna "I know I've said this too many times already, but... you're the best. Really." She places several kisses on his lips.

Caleb smiles and gives her a kiss too before pulling away from the hug. "Get changed and let's go, baby."

Hanna rushes to the closet to pick out a comfortable outfit for the ride to New York. Caleb sits down on the bed and starts petting Chocolate as he waits for Hanna to get ready to leave. She suddenly turns to him again.

Hanna "Wait..." she says, her excitement waning. "Is this okay? I mean... I don't want to screw up." She adds, gesturing toward her baby bump and placing her hand on it. "She's more important than anything."
