Hanna's POV

Me and Caleb have been looking for Adam for about an hour now and no one has found him. I'm so mad at Jordan for leaving the door open more so that fact he wasn't even sorry.

"Why don't we check to toy store a few blocks from the brew, you know the one where I bought the stuffed dino?"
"Yeah good idea."

Things are so awkward between us after what happened earlier today.
When we reached the toy store the blinds where down and the sign let us know that it had just closed.

"DAMIT." I shouted kicking the door.

"Han calm down."

"No, this is all my fault, I was the one who brought Jordan with me."

"Jordans his own person, this isn't your fault but now we need to keep looking."

Jason's POV

I had just got out my cab and was unpacking my bags when a little boy with hair like a Cavanaugh and a Hastings type face also known as Adam Cavanaugh, my little nephew was coming out of a toy store with a pout.

I walked over to him and he recognised me straight away.

"Uncle Jason."
"Hey Adam what are you doing out on your own, mommy and daddy are probably worried."
"I wanted to make uncle Caleb happy because he was sad Awntie Hanna doesn't like him."
"Why don't we go and mommy and daddy?"
"Okay"

Spencer's POV

Me and Toby sat down on the same rock we have claimed as our spot otherwise known as the rock on top of  lookout point.

"I'm a terrible mother."
"No Spence your not, Adam must of had a reason."
"Like what?"
"Um I don't know."
"Well welcome to my world."

Toby's POV

Spencer put her head in her hands and weeped, I put my arm around her, she then looked at me before nestling her head in my neck.

"I don't know what I'd do without you Toby, I'm sorry I wasn't happy for you about getting engaged and I want you to know I'm happy for you."
"Thank you"
"Even though we aren't together anymore you'll always be my safe place to land."
"I promise your never alone not even for a second."

This feels right, perfect even. Adam is still out there but I want Spencer to be okay because Adam notices things like that.

Just when everything was silent and all the only thing you could hear was the world going by Spencer's phone started ringing.

"It's Jason" she looks at me confused.
"Why is your brother calling you?"
"I don't know."
"Well answer it"

"Hello?" She starts crying again and holds her hand over her mouth.
"Thank you we're on our way" she hangs up and smiles through her tears.

"Jason found Adam."
"He did."

We sit there smiling and staring at each other the rest of the world melting away as we grin like children.

"Um Tobes."
"Yeah?"
"We should probably go and see Adam now"
"Oh yeah right let's go."

We run down and hop into my truck then speed down to Ali's house where Jason, Adam and everyone else is waiting for us.

Spencer barley gives me time to stop the moving truck before jumping and running over to our son. I get out the car a few seconds later and jog over there.
Both me and Spencer kneel down to Adam to ask him why he ran away.

"Why did you leave buddy mommy and everyone was very worried?"
"Uncle Caleb was crying so I went to get him a dinosaur."
"Why was he crying?" Spencer asks.
"Awntie Hanna doesn't like him."

We all look at Hanna and Caleb who are both looking to the ground.

"Han?" Emily questions
"Caleb why were you crying?"
"Hanna it was nothing okay?"
"Clearly there was something Adam ran away."

"Guys can we not?" I interrupt hesitant to get Adam worked up again.

"Maybe this isn't the best thing to argue about right now Toby and I should probably put Adam to bed"

Me and Spencer leave Ali's and walk back to her barn with Adam asleep on my shoulder.

She unlocks the door and we tuck Adam in before walking into the kitchen to have a drink.

"So do you know anything about Caleb crying?" I ask Spencer since I know she's been comforting him recently.

"I think had something to do with Jordan" she says handing me a glass of water and sitting opposite me on the island in her small but nice kitchen.

"I mean Caleb wants her back so badly and I'm going to be honest with you here I've been helping him."

"You have? What do you mean by helping him?"

"Well um I may or may not have called Jordans  work making sure he had to leave dinner tonight."

"Spencer!!! You can't do that!!!"

"Why not he's a jerk and Hanna deserves better?"

"He could be in big trouble because of that stunt you pulled."

"I just want to help Hanna and Caleb get there happy ending since I'm clearly not going to get mine!!"

"What do you mean?" Her face drains of color.

"No that's not what I meant, I didn't mean I didn't er please." Tears spill from her cheeks and she reaches for my hand, I snatch my hand away, grab my jacket and out the door. So not the best move but I just need to get home.

All I do is try to make sure she is happy but this just goes to show I've failed.
