Our Forever | Alternate Version

Baby Tell Me

One of my favourite chapters.

As Caleb walked into Hanna's room, he was surprised to see the spot that his girlfriend was just recently in abandoned. His mind raced right back to that place it had sped to for more days than he was comfortable with by this point. And of course, he was correct when he found Hanna in the bathroom kelt on her knees in front of the toilet and then 10 minutes later following her back to her room, questioning the recurring events once again.

"Okay Han" Caleb asked as they arrived back in Hanna room "what is up?"

"Caleb please" she begged as she sat on her bed "don't use that tone"

"Well I apologize for being concerned about you, but I'm getting fed up" he spat out at her

"If you want me to tell you, you need to stop speaking to me like that" Hanna demanded

"Hanna just tell me what the hell is going on. Enough with these games" Caleb all but screamed

Hanna sat there, not a word coming out of her mouth, just watching Caleb as he became increasingly angry.

"Our entire relationship has been about secrets" Caleb continued when Hanna didn't respond "& I get why you kept so many before, but why now" he pried

"I'm not keeping secrets" Hanna fought back. Ok so that was a flat out lie but she wasn't dong it intentionally.

Caleb shook his head "yes you are. you don't think I can tell?" He questioned "we are about to start a life together in New York, this isn't really the time to start with the lies again"

Hanna was getting fed up. What Caleb didn't realize is if he would stop screaming, she would tell him.

Caleb took a step closer to the bed, calming himself before he spoke again "Han if you don't want to be with me, if that's the problem, then just tell me, be honest"

Within seconds Hanna's face turned from frustration to complete shock "what?"

How could Caleb possibly think she would want to break up. The problem was just about the opposite. "Tell me your joking" Hanna tried, hoping Caleb wasn't actually thinking those types of thoughts

"Well I don't know what else the problem could be" Caleb admitted, rubbing the back of his neck as he glanced down at the floor

Hanna stared at him in complete disbelief "you know what" she decided as she got up from the bed, storming over to the table on the other side of her room where she had left her purse, opening it up, searching for the item she had put in there 3 days prior. Caleb looked up, turning in her direction "what?" He questioned, watching for what she was looking for, confused. This wasn't the way she planned to tell him, but at least it would shut him up, or change his train of thought maybe. "You wanted to know what all the secrecy was about" she continued at she came across what she was looking for. "Here" Hanna turned around with the pink stick in her hand, handing it to Caleb.

Caleb paused watching her for a moment before reluctantly taking the item from Hanna.

He kept his hand still, not looking down at what was placed in it. "What is this?" He asked

Hanna snorted "you know what it is" she stated as she walked back over to her bed taking a seat.

It was true. Caleb knew what it was and if what was in his hand was the reason Hanna had been acting so strange lately, then He knew exactly what it said.

The room was completely silent as Caleb looked down at the pregnancy test he was holding, Hanna staring at him from her spot on the other side of the room, watching his every move.
