A/N - I am currently in the year 2022 for this story 

*Sunday January 2nd*

Mike's POV

I'm currently standing and looking around a room that up until a week ago would have been for the new Montgomery baby. Mona is taking this loss really hard, in the last week she has hardly gotten out of bed. We left the hospital not knowing exactly what went wrong but we did know that it wasn't either of our faults. The doctor told us "Sometimes miscarriages just happen and there isn't much that can be explained about why it happened." 

I was completely unaware that Hanna was standing behind me until her phone rang.

"I'm sorry Hanna, I didn't know you were coming over so early." I said

"I'm helping my mom and Ted out at the church this morning but I wanted to see Mona before going over to the church." Hanna said

"Mona hasn't changed much since yesterday." I said

"Madison? I didn't see her this morning." Hanna asked

"I took Madison over to Mona's moms house last night. Mrs. V. thought it was best if Madison stayed with her just temporary." I said

"I can stay here instead of my mom's house if you think that's going to help Mona." Hanna said

"I'm not so sure having you around is what Mona needs." I said

"I'm Mona's best friend so no matter what I'm going to be around Mike." Hanna said

"I'm just saying your pregnant and Mona just lost a baby. Mona doesn't need you around to be reminded of what she lost." I said

"This past week I have been over here a lot more then Aria so that has to count for something." Hanna said

"True because Aria's busy planning her wedding, taking care of Jayde plus the other 3 Montgomery/Fitz kids and having sex with Ezra." I said

"What are you going to do with the baby items in this room?" Hanna asked

"Probably return what we can and donate the rest." I said

"What if you gave the items to Caleb and I since we are going to have a baby in a few months. That way Caleb and I don't have to bring it all from New York." Hanna said

"I think that's a great idea." I said

"I'm sure Toby can help you and Mona turn this room into a guest bedroom if you want." Hanna said

"I will ask him because I don't think Mona is going to want another baby after this happened." I said

"Not that it matters now but did you know if the baby was supposed to be a boy or a girl?" Hanna asked

"The answers in the envelope that Mona and I were supposed to open together once the new year started." I said

"I guess you and her don't need to know now." Hanna said

"Not really but I want to know just so in my mind I know if Madison was going to have a little sister or brother." I said

I took the envelope out of the drawer where it was hidden in and opened it. I broke down crying and Hanna hugged me.

"It was a boy, I was supposed to have a son." I said

"No matter what life moves on and someday you will have that son." Hanna said

"I hope you don't mind me crying in front of you." I said

"No it's fine. I can't even imagine what you and Mona are going through right now." Hanna said

"I wouldn't let myself cry in front of Mona but now that it's been a week I can't hold back the tears anymore." I said

Hanna's POV

By the time I got to the church I missed the Sunday morning service but I was just in time to help with the winter clothing drive.

"I didn't see you at church this morning." Ted said

"Sorry but checking on Mona is a bit more important then church." I said

"You are here to help with the clothing drive so that's what matters." My mom said

Caleb called me in the middle of the clothing drive. I quickly answered the phone because I ignored his call this morning.

"Han, the kids really miss you and so do I." Caleb said

"I also miss you and the kids but I need to stay in Rosewood Caleb." I said

"For how long, it's been a week already Hanna?" Caleb asked

"Mona still needs me and we are moving in a few weeks so why don't I just stay here until then." I said

"Do what you want Han but I think you should come home. You said yourself that we are moving to Rosewood in a few weeks so you will be back for Mona then." Caleb said

*A Few Weeks Later -Friday January 21st*

I ended up staying in Rosewood and am just now going back to New York. My mom and Ted were coming to New York so they could help us move. They were spending the night and then tomorrow we pack up the cars and move back to Rosewood. Caleb and I didn't have a house in Rosewood yet so we were temporally moving in with my mom.

"Mommy." Both Deylia and Tyler said as soon as they saw me.

"I missed both of you so much." I said

"Welcome home." Caleb said

"It's hard to believe this is only our home for 1 more day." I said

"I'm going to miss this house but I think Rosewood is telling us to come back." Caleb said

"Are you sure now is the time to move. I mean we are going to be spending more time apart since your job at Apple will still be in NYC." I said

"Actually I have good news. I had an interview and I got offered a job at Apple in Philadelphia." Caleb said

"That's great Caleb." I said

"Even better I was promoted to Assistant Manager." Caleb said

"Does that include a pay raise?" I asked

"Yes." Caleb said

"I love you Caleb." I said

"I love you Hanna." Caleb said

"In order to move from New York to Rosewood we used 3 cars and a u haul truck to pack up all our things. Caleb and I each drove our own cars back to Rosewood. Ted was driving the u haul while my mom was driving her car with Deylia and Tyler in the backseat.
