Pretty Little Liars: 16 & Pregnant (Sequel)

Destined for the Screen

Five Days Later
Aria's Pov

"This is great, don't move." Hanna says "You guys are adorable." Piper, Stella, and Madden all stand still as picture after picture gets taken of them. Hanna's store LUXE's new line just came out, which means a whole new batch of clothes for our children to model. Hanna hires other kids and babies as well, however she likes our children to be the main little models.

"Hey Stella stand closer to your sister." Hanna instructs. Stella does as she's asked, although Piper immediately takes a step away.

"No, Piper stay where you were." Hanna chuckles. My oldest daughter just shakes her head and crosses her arms, her lips in a firm pout.

"Oh my god Piper look at that attitude." Hanna says, turning to the photographer "Are you getting this?" As the camera clicks away, Piper takes another step away from her little sister.

"Seriously you two." I sigh, then look at my blonde friend "They got into an argument on the car ride here."

"Oh, I see." Hanna nods "Don't want to be next to each other huh? Well how about this. Put your arms around one another and pretend to be best friends for a few minutes, then I'll buy you ice cream after." Both girls' eyes light up, and they do exactly as they're instructed. If anything will make those two cooperate, it's the promise of a treat.

"Okay, I want an outfit change and then some solo shots." Hanna says, walking over and lifting Madden up. I go and take Stella and Piper's hands, leading them to where their clothes racks are. After getting them changed into their next outfits and telling them to get along, we wait until Madden is finished being photographed for the next round of pictures. Stella is up next, hopping in front of the camera like it's made for her and only her.

"The new line is gorgeous Han." I tell my friend "Seriously, I can't wait for it to hit the store."

"I'm excited too." She replies giddily "But you know how it goes, the girls can take whatever clothes they want from what they modelled today."

"Yeah, but I wanna actually buy stuff and support your store, you're my bestfriend." I say.

"You support my store plenty." Hanna scoffs "Like half your kids' wardrobes are from LUXE."

"I think a little more than half." I chuckle "And remember when Piper was a baby how you would buy clothes for her all the time? Now, you're literally designing them too."

"We've come a long way." She laughs. Once the photographer decides there are enough shots of Stella, Piper takes her place in front of the camera.

"Look Mommy!" Stella exclaims, running over to us. She takes the white fedora-style hat off her head, then tosses it in the air. Instead of landing back in its place like I think she meant it to, it lands on the floor.

"Wait!" She says, picking it up and trying again. The hat lands back on the floor, much to Stella's frustration. She tries it once more, the result the same as the others.

"I did it once." She tells us, putting the hat back on her head herself "And Gemma got a picture of it!" Stella points to the photographer.

Gemma turns to face us "I think I got a few good ones of you tossing it into the air too."

Stella looks at us excitedly "Momma did you hear that?!"

"I did." I chuckle "Those will be exciting to see hey?" Stella nods vigorously.

"Hey Stella-Boo," Hanna starts "You work that camera like a pro. You should talk to your Mommy about getting you an agent."

"What's that?" Stella asks.

"An agent helps you get more modelling jobs." She explains "So you get to do all this more often."

"Mommy!" Stella gasps, looking at me "I want that!"

I shoot Hanna a sideways glance "We'll talk about that later Stell. I didn't want you or your sister getting into that business too much, I only agreed to this because it was for auntie Hanna."

"But they both love it." Hanna pleads "Just look at Piper right now, she's glowing." I look over at my six year old, who twirls around in an off-white tulle dress and leather jacket in front of the camera.

"I'll think about it." I sigh "But no promises, I don't want this to be too regular of a thing."

"It won't be." Hanna says promisingly "Just sometimes, both the girls love it."

"Hey, you have a kid too." I say "Get him into more modelling, he's got the cutest little face for it."

"Yeah, but he doesn't quite understand it yet." She replies "Stella and Piper actually seem to enjoy it, and I want to wait until Madden is old enough to decide a bit for himself."

"That's a good idea." I nod.

We finishing shooting for the day at around 5pm, the kids noticeably tired. Stella and Madden both usually take naps during the day, which they both missed out on. Although neither of my girls let Hanna forget that she promised them ice cream, so we make a little stop before heading home.

"Okay, chocolate chip cookie dough for Piper." Hanna hands her a double-scoop cone "And bubblegum for Stella." We sit inside the small ice cream shop, as it's still pretty chilly outside. Madden is fast asleep in my arms, not even waking up when we came into the store.

"What do you say to auntie Hanna for the ice cream?" I look at Stella and Piper, who both have it around the edges of their mouths.

"Thank you." They say in unison.

Once the girls are done their treat, we say goodbye to Hanna and a still-asleep Madden. I carry him to Hanna's car, laying him in his car seat as gently as possible so as not to wake him. After two kids, I've started to master this.

"Well, I'd say it was a pretty successful day." Hanna says "You two rocked it as per usual." She high fives Piper and Stella, then hugs me.

"See you soon." I tell her "I think me, you, Spence, and Em are all meeting up in the next few days."

"Oh yeah, I can't wait." She grins "I've missed hanging out just the four of us."

"Can I come?" Piper asks.

"No, you'll stay with Daddy." I reply "Speaking of which, he wants to go out for dinner at The Grille tonight, so we should probably get going." After saying goodbye to Hanna one more time, I get the girls into the car and head home. They both sing loudly to a Justin Bieber song I hardly know, and that they don't know most of the words to either. But they're clearly enjoying themselves, neither Piper or Stella being very shy. And considering how much they both love being in front of the camera, maybe, just maybe, I'll consider letting them take this little modelling thing a step further.
