One week later
*Hanna's POV*

I hum to myself as I sort through racks of clothes, pushing each one aside. Since Caleb is at work and the girls are all busy, I decided to do some shopping. Mostly for Ashley, but I caved and got some things for myself too. I even got Caleb a new shirt! I hold up a pink and white polka dotted skirt, just as my phone rings.

"Hello?" I answer.

"Hey Baby! I'm on my way home from work now, where should I meet you?" Caleb's sweet voice asks from the other line.

"Well I'm at the Rosewood shopping mall right now. I'm doing some shopping for Ashley. I'm almost done though, so I could just meet you at home." I suggest. Caleb's voice is silent for a few moments.

"I have a better idea." he says. "How about I meet you at the mall, and we can both shop for Ashley, and then get dinner afterwards!"

I smile. "Caleb that sounds great! Call or text me when you're here, and I'll tell you where to meet me!"

"Sounds good! I love you, see you soon!" Caleb says.

"I love you too! Bye!" I reply, and hang up. Then I resume to picking out more baby clothes.

I pay for my meager items, and head off to another store, just as my phone beeps. I stop to look at the text.

Caleb- Hey Babe, I'm here! Where should we meet?

I text back

Me- GAP?

I wait a second before another text comes through.

Caleb- 👍

I make my way over to baby GAP and look around for a few minutes while I wait for Caleb to arrive.

"When are you due?" a sweet fluent voice asks behind me. I turn around, a bit startled.

"Excuse me?" I ask puzzled. A woman, maybe in her early thirties stands behind me, with her hand on an ever so little baby bump. She looks uncomfortable.

"I-I asked when you are due." she says, silently motioning to my stomach.

"Oh! March twenty-sixth!" I say smiling as I lay a hand my baby bump, although it's not so much a baby bump anymore. More like a baby bulge!

The woman smiles. "How old are you?" she asks out of curiosity. I get asked this question a lot because it's hard for people to believe that a high schooler is pregnant. Even though I've answered this question a lot, I still feel self conscious and uncomfortable answering it.

I look down. "seventeen" I answer in a voice so timid I doubt she could even hear. Heat rushes to my cheeks. I bite my lip and look up. The woman is smiling

"Congratulations!" she exclaims, smiling even wider. I start to feel better and regain my confidence.

"Thank you!" I say smiling and nodding my head with respect.

"When are you due?" I ask her. She smiles and looks down at her stomach.

"June tenth."

I smile. "Boy or girl?"

"We are having a little boy." the woman says beaming from ear to ear. "I'm assuming you're having a girl?" she questions, pointing to the few baby girl outfits in my hand.

I chuckle. "Yep! Is it that obvious?"

Just then Caleb appears at my side.

"Hey baby!" he says kissing my temple and pulling me closer against him.
