I know it's been a while. This is kind of a filler chapter to get me back into the flow of things. Please review!

Standing outside a modestly large tudor-style home on Darkbloom Terrace, Hanna looked at Emily with an annoyed look, one attempting to mask her worry.

"Remind me again why we're the ones who have to go do this?" She questioned, fidgeting with something in her Dooney and Burke tote.

"Han, you know why already. Spencer couldn't come because Jason's her half brother and Jenna is her step-sister-in-law- it would just be too uncomfortable. And after Aria had a thing with Jason, even if it was that long ago, she just doesn't want to know until we're 100% sure." Emily explained.

"This is 762 right?" Emily continued.

"Yup." Hanna replied.

"You sure?" Emily asked.

"As sure as I'll ever be." Hanna sighed, and began to lift one of the two gold lions on the cherry wood door.

"Here goes nothing." She said, looking at Emily.

Ten seconds later the door opened wide and a tall man with dirty blonde hair and a scruffy beard appeared.

"Hello." He said, slightly puzzled but still kindly. "What can I do for you ladies?"

"Um.. We were wondering if there was a Jenna Marshall here?" Emily started.

"And who is asking?" The man asked.

"I'm Emily Fieldra- Fields. Emily Fields. And this," she motioned to Hanna, "is Hanna Marin. We're old friends of Jenna's from high school."

"Aha. Emily and Hanna. It's nice to finally meet you. And Jenna certainly lives here, but she's Jenna Berryman now." He smiled at himself and played with his wedding band, clearly still over the moon that he and Jenna were married.

"Arthur Berryman, Jenna's husband." He extended his hand for both Hanna and Emily to shake as his hazel eyes glistened with the glimpses of sunlight that passed.

"I've heard quite a bit about you. But this isn't really my place. I'll go get Jenna. Please, come in." He said in a friendly manner.

Hanna and Emily walked in to the warm home and were immediately greeted by a staircase, a sitting room, and the shrieks and giggles of little children.

"If you don't mind just waiting here for a minute. Can I get you ladies anything to eat or drink?" Arthur asked.

"We're fine, thank you." Hanna said.

"Okay-" Arthur started, but was cut off by a running little girl who started to jump in his arms.

"Daaaaddddyyy," She started as he caught her and smiled. "You said you would be gone just a minute. It's been like a hundred minutes." The brunette girl complained.

"I know sweetie, but two of Mommy's friends came over. Why don't you introduce yourself to them and then we'll go get Mommy?" Arthur asked.

"Mmkay." She replied and made her way over to Hanna and Emily.

"Hello there." She said sweetly. "My name is Cadence Annaleigh Berryman." Cadence finished off her introduction with a wave, and waited for the girls to introduce themselves in return.

"I'm Hanna and this is Emily. Cadence is such a pretty name! How old are you, sweetie?" Hanna asked.

"I'm turning six in one week!" Cadence answered.

"Wow! Six! Happy birthday!" Emily explained.

"Thanks." Cadence blushed.

"Come Kay," Arthur said smiling, "Let's go get Mommy." He said and held out his hand for Cadence to take. She took it and they went to the kitchen.

Hanna and Emily made their way over to a black velvet futon. Over the light murmur of the television and some normal background noise, Hanna said to Emily, "This is weirdly going kind of well right? Arthur seems like a really nice man... Do you think maybe Jenna is a different person than she used to be?" Hanna wondered.

"Everyone has the ability to change." She whispered quietly, as Jenna made her way into the room.

"Hi girls." She said nicely but nervously. "It's good to see you." Jenna began.

It took Hanna and Emily a moment to realize that Jenna was very pregnant and was being followed by an entourage of kids.

"Do you guys want to meet my children?" She asked, smoothing her floral tunic and rubbing her belly as she sat. "Well they're already here so what choice do you have?" Jenna joked, and Emily and Hanna genuinely laughed.

"Of course." Hanna said.

"We'd love to." Emily replied.

"Okay, here we go." She started as she grabbed Arthur's hand. "First off, this is Arthur, my incredible husband, whom I'm sure you've already met." She looked at him lovingly.

"This is Beckett, who's 11. Graham, who's 9. Cadence is almost 6, though I've heard you already met her. And Mia is 2 and a half." She motioned to each of her children, slightly varying in looks.

She continued, "I also have a sixteen year old daughter-" Emily and Hanna glanced at each other. "But she's out running right now. And clearly I'm expecting another one, in 5 weeks actually." She smiled and rubbed her belly.

"Wow." Hanna said, only to be elbowed by Emily.

"You have a lovely family, Jenna," Emily stated, trying to make it seem like that's what Hanna had meant when she said 'wow'.

An awkward moment of silence passed, to be which Jenna responded, "Arthur, honey, do you mind taking the kids back into the den to play? Dinner's already in the oven."

"Sure thing, babe. Come guys Mom has some catching up to do..." The three women heard as Arthur's voice got quieter and quieter.

"So..." Jenna began. "What brings you guys to my neck of the woods? I mean, I'm pretty sure after basically twenty years without contact with me that you didn't stop in for a piece of cherry pie." Jenna finished nervously.

"Well, actually, we're here to talk to you about-"

"Angel!" Jenna said quickly, much to the girls' shock.
