unwanted suprises

HANNAS P.O.V
A spa weekend was all I needed right now. It was the next weekend after Alison had suggested the occasion and I now stood in the reception of an unknown spa. It was 10 minutes after we were supposed to meet. What if I had gone to the wrong place? At that moment my phone chimed.

Hey sorry we're running late :/ -Alison

Seeing as the spa was in new York, the girls had all traveled down together. I sent a quick reply and sat down on the edge of the central fountain in the spa and waited.

"For god sakes Aria, could you walk any slower?!"
I turned around hearing the familiar voice of the one and only Spencer Hastings. I hugged the 4 of them "I missed you guys."
"Well we have plenty of time to chill and catch up." Alison beamed and flung her bag over her shoulder "come on."
She was right, after an amazing massage we all filled the hot tub in the pool room, which we were the only people in.
"So?" Emily grinned "how's life?"
"Amazing." Aria beamed and stuck her hand out "Ezra and I haven't set a date yet but we probably will have the wedding soon."
"Oh my god!" Spencer squeled "that's amazing."
"I know." I added.
"But so unfair." Spencer laughed "Aria you're engaged, Han you have a liccle baby and me,Em and Alison are just here."
"He's hardly little anymore." I smiled "10 and a half months. Just last night, he had a sudden word outburst and he wouldn't stop talking. It's like he pointed at his sock and would say ock so I had to keep saying yes that is your sock, about 20 times."
"Sounds fun." Alison laughed sarcastically.
"Oh it is." I joked.

The 5 of us were staying in a hotel room for the night and leaving tomorrow. There was 2 double beds so we all shared. As everybody got ready for bed, my phone beeped.

Caleb- hey. U okay? X

I'm fine! Xx

Caleb- good. What are you doing?? X

Getting ready for bed. Is Blake sleeping?

Caleb- yeah he's been out a few hours.

Good xx

Caleb- what time do u want me to pick u up tomorrow? X

I'm not sure....I'll just text u ??? xx

Caleb- yeah okay.

"Han bathrooms free." Emily smiled.
"Okay one sec."

I've got to go xx

Caleb- okay bye. I love you xx

Love you too <33 xx

I entered the bathroom, pyjamas and skin care items in hand and locked the door. I changed into my pyjamas. Blue shorts and a big white top. I looked myself up and down in the mirror - I was no longer as thin as the other girls after having Blake. I was wider now. I shook my head grabbing my makeup wipes and washed the makeup of my face, thankful to be clean. I used my face wash and moisturiser before shuffling into the main room again, where they were all sat in one of the 2 beds. Aria,Alison and Emily in one and Spencer alone in the other.
"I need my bed buddy." Spencer complained.
"Sorry I'm not Toby." I joked.
She patted the space next to her and laughed "you'll do."
I climbed in next to Spencer and Emily pressed play on the movie they had choosen. San Andreas.

"This is so sad." I sniffled half way through.
"I know." Alison said.
"SSSSHHH." Aria hushed, placing a finger on her lip, still staring at the screen.
"Sorry Miss Montgomery."
"Soon to be Mrs Fitz." Emily smirked. At that point Aria turned around and smiled "yes."

Caleb picked me up and by that time, the others had left. I hugged my boyfriend "hey."
"Hey." He muttered.
"Wheres my baby?" I asked, peering into the back windows of the car.
"Hes at home." Caleb paused and looked at me.
"With my mom?"
He shook his head.
"Ted?"
He shook his head again "somebody decided to visit this morning..."
I bit my lip and scrunched up my face "who?"
"Your dad-"
"YOU LEFT BLAKE WITH MY DAD?!"
"I'm sorry Han but he-"
"He hates me, he hates you, he hates Blake."
"Hanna he wants to talk." Caleb ushered me into the car and began to drive before we finished our conversation.
"He hasn't visited me since we were in that car crash in hospital, over a year and a half ago. He has no idea about anything- he doesn't even know about Hope." I explained.
"I know and if you talk to him then he will." Caleb assured me.
"I can't believe you left our son with him." I mumbled crossing my arms across my chest.
"Hanna please don't be mad."
"I'm not mad at you." I sighed "I just don't see why he turned up out of the blue."
"Neither do I Han."

Caleb unlocked our apartment door and I walked in slowly.
"Blake?" I whispered, just loud enough to be heard.
"Mamamamamama." The almost 1 year old ran into the hall and put his arms out "wug."
I smiled and picked him up and hugged him, burying my head into his neck and blowing a raspberry causing him to laugh. Caleb closed the door behind us and out the keys on the side before removing his coat when my dad awkwardly walked into the hall.
I balanced Blake on my hip holding him to my chest "you wanted to talk?"
He nodded and the 3 of us entered the main room, Blake still on my hip, we sat down. Caleb next to me and my dad opposite.
"He's got a real character." My dad laughed nervously pointing at Blake.
"Yeah..." I gulped.
It was silent for a while. Nobody quite knew what to say.
"Why didn't you come and see me?" I asked.
"I was going to, but I didn't want to interrupt your family life." He drew a circle in the air around the 3 of us.
"You haven't seen me-us- in a year and a half...why now?"
"Because I wanted to meet my grandson and how your doing. How was the pregnancy and the birth and-"
The word birth made me shiver and I blanked out imagining the time I held hope in my arms.
"Hanna?" Caleb whispered.
"mmm?"
"How was the birth?" My dad repeated.
"Horrible..." I whispered.
"Why?"
"There was just a few complications."
"But Blake's fine and alive so it all went okay." He smiled.
I looked at my bouncy baby boy, then Caleb, then my dad.
"There was one big complication."
"What was it?" He asked.
"The thing is...well it was twins and I had both of them but she died...after a few minutes of being alive..." I croaked.
Caleb squeezed my shoulder supportingly.
"She?"
"Hope..." Caleb smiled weakly "Hope Trinity Rivers."
"I'm so sorry." My dad gasped "I didn't know."
"You weren't there to know." I sighed and wiped the tears in my eyes.
"But I'm here now and I want to be there." He pleaded.
"I don't know if I can let that happen...you've never been supportive of me, of my relationship with Caleb, my baby...." I kissed Blake's head "you can't just turn up now and expect me to forgive you. I don't want you to be apart of my son's life."
"Hanna-"
"No dad stop please." I begged "I really don't want to fight. Go-"
He stood up quickly "I can see I'm not wanted."
I shook my head and he left. I sat staring into space for a while before Caleb spoke "are you okay?"
I handed him Blake before hugging him, Blake between us. He placed a small kiss on my lips "I love you and I'm proud of you."
"I love you too."
