I got home from the Halloween train, thinking about what had happened. Garrets dead, he liked me…and I had always thought he had hated me! Poor Aria… I sat in my room, looking at my bed. Oh, how I wished Toby was here. I began to walk toward my door to go to the kitchen, when I saw my calendar. Just the normal stuff, but then I saw a red sharpie mark on the 17th of October. It was the 31st of October. I gasped, and realized that I was late. Fourteen days late? How could that be possible? I thought about how I and Toby were at my house…in my bed. No. How could we have forgotten protection? I can't be…I'm only seventeen. All of the sudden, I felt sick. Tears flew out of my eyes, and I sat in my couch chair, crying. I heard a knock at my door.

"Spence? Are you okay?"

It was Aria. Oh, god, not right now!

"I'm, not sure…"

I really wasn't sure. Aria walked in, wearing an orange and black lace up shirt, long blue jeans, and her hair was curled, her long brown hair going down past her shoulders. She saw I was crying.

"Spence, I know about what happened to you in the train…I'm sorry"

"It's not that!" I interrupted. I was sobbing, and Aria, gave me a hug.

"What is it then?" Aria said softly.

How could I saw it? I had to tell someone. And Aria I could tell…but what if A found out? What if A hurt me, to hurt the baby? A had hurt Toby… I had to tell someone though.

I took a deep breath, and whispered shakily

"My…my periods late"

Aria, smiling slightly, said,

"Hey, you've been stressed, it could just be"-

"No, Aria, a month ago…me and Toby were here, and things got intense…I don't think we had protection! I'm scared!"

Aria's mouth hung open, and she squeezed my shoulder.

"Have you taken a test?" She asked softly. I shook my head no. Just then Melissa walked in.

"Is everything okay?" Aria looked at me like, 'Tell her'.

"Melissa?" I sobbed.

She walked to me, and sat on the bed beside me.

"What is it Spencer?"

I took a deep breath, and said, "I think I'm pregnant"

Melissa was surprisingly calm, and rubbed my back softly. "Did you take a…test?" I shook my head again, no. Aria stood up, saying, "I can go to the drug store, get some…"

Melissa shook her head. "Thank you for everything, but I think I should go with Spencer…"

Aria interrupted. "I think she needs my support, I mean…this is scary stuff"

Melissa nodded, and we headed toward the car. I sat in the passenger, with Melissa driving, and Aria sitting behind me. When we got there, Melissa picked them out, and we headed home. Aria and I had been quiet the whole time, and when I got home, Melissa told me to go to the bathroom. After I had taken the test, I walked out of into my room, Melissa and Aria waiting for me.

"So?" Aria asked.

"It's…" I looked at the small positive sign in the test.

"It's positive, I'm pregnant" I cried.

Melissa hugged me, and Aria rubbed my back. Melissa took the test out of my hand, and lied it on my desk. Aria whispered to me,

"Do you want me to call Toby?" She asked. I shook my head.

"He can't know! It would kill him…" I cried.

Melissa looked at me, saying, "Spencer, he is the father, he needs to know"

"Yeah, Spence, Melissa's got a point" Aria agreed. I picked my phone out of my pocket, and texted Toby that he needed to come over right now to talk.

Emily and Hanna had come over, and they were all asking questions. I had told them, and they had all been very supportive.

Hanna asked, wearing a pink light dress with lace up boots, "Who did you… you know, do it with?"

Everyone frowned at her, and Aria answered, "With Wren, or Garret, no duh you dummy, who else do you think she slept with!" Hanna frowned, and mouthed, "Sorry"

Toby is coming… I took in deep breaths, and there was a knock at my door. Everyone gasped. Melissa got up to answer the door. She disappeared around the corner, and I heard Toby say, "Is Spencer here?" I got up, and left my three worried friends behind me. Melissa gave us privacy by the door. Toby was wearing a leather jacket, and a dark blue v-neck shirt with long jeans and black converses. "Hey" He told me.

"We need to talk" I sniffed, and Toby realized I had been crying.

"What's this about Spencer?" He asked. I stared to him, and pulled him inside.

"Can we go to my room?" I asked. He nodded, and we went up the stairs with four sets of eyes watching us go.

When I got inside my room, I froze. The pregnancy test was on my desk, right in reach. I grabbed it, and held it in my hand, Toby not noticing.

"Spencer, what's wrong?" I grabbed his hand, and placed the test in his hand. He narrowed his eyes, and then they widened with fear. I was stuck there; I didn't know what to say. He put the test on the desk, and held my chin in his hands.

"Toby, I'm so sorry" But he cut my off, and hugged me, holding me close. I was sobbing, and I couldn't stop. I was so scared, even here with Toby. He rubbed my back soothingly, but didn't say anything. He pushed me back a little but, his face emotionless.

"Toby…I'm scared!" He pulled me to him again, stroking my back.

"It's okay, I'm here now…" I cried and cried, and Toby was still here for me. He placed me to be sitting on the couch chair near my window, and took my hands.
"What are we going to do Toby?" I sobbed. He sat beside me, and pulled me into his side. "You will live with me; we will figure it out, maybe online school, college"

"Toby, but I'm not ready to be a mom! I'm only seventeen, I can't, I can't" Toby kissed my forehead, and spoke,

"We'll get through this, Melissa and your friends will help, I'll be here for you, I'm not going anywhere" I sobbed even more, and Toby placed his hand over my stomach where our baby was.

"Spencer, you'll be great mom" I cried, and he held me tighter.

"You'll be an amazing father" I cried. He smiled a little, but then frowned.

"What is it?" I asked. He shook his head.

"This is my fault, for you to be going through this…"

"Toby, it's not your fault, don't you ever say that, okay?" He nodded, and lifted us both up.

"What now?" He asked, and pulled my hips to his.

"Tell the parents…." I mumbled. God, they were going to kill me!

Toby held me closer, and we trailed downstairs, where everyone was staring back and forth at me and Toby. Aria sat up, and came over to me for a hug. I hugged her, and the rest of my friends came to hug me as well.

"If you need anything, call me" Hanna whispered. And they all left. Melissa was calling my mom and dad to come home early for dinner. I sat on the couch near the kitchen, and stared blankly at the TV in front of me. What are we going to do? I placed my hand over my stomach, not believing that Toby's baby was there. Toby saw me, and sat next to me. He pulled me against him on his chest, and a single tear came out of my eye.

"I'm scared…" I cried softly. Toby tried to calm me, kissing my forehead. Mellissa went upstairs to give us, I guess, privacy. Toby placed his hand once again over the spot where the baby was.

"Our little boy…"

"With a six pack" I corrected. He smiled a little bit, but then I heard the garage open, and my parents walked inside the house. "Spencer?"

"Hi Mom" I answered. Toby took my hand in his, and the other hand wrapped behind my back, his fingers curling on my waist.

"What's going on? Melissa told me we had to talk…" She stared at Toby.

"What is he doing here?" I frowned, and snapped,

"He is involved in…this" I felt my throat dry up. I was sweating and was shaking…hard.

"Mrs. Hastings, Mr. Hastings…please sit down" Toby tried to ask politely. My dad frowned.

"I'd rather stand, thank you very much!" He snapped.

"Stop it dad" I growled.

"What is going on Spencer?"
Toby squeezed my hand, and I cried,

"I'm…pregnant" My parents both froze, my dad's face turning red, my mom's face white as snow.

"You…YOU KNOCKED UP MY DAUGHER?!" My dad stormed toward us, Toby stood protectively I front of me, and his hand still in mine.

"It was an accident, let me"- but my dads cut him off with a fist throw through his face.

"STOP!" I screamed. But my dad kept throwing punches. I sobbed, "STOP, DAD, STOP!" All of the sudden I felt nauseous, and dizzy, and something red seeped through my jeans. Blood. I placed my hand between my legs, and it was instantly covered in blood, almost black. I was shaking and crying, but Toby and my dad hadn't noticed. I screamed,

"TOBY!" And he looked up at me, and the blood had spread all over the couch, dripped slightly to the floor. My dad also looked at me, his eyes wide with fear. I fell to the floor, and Toby caught my head and my back. "Spencer?!" Toby spoke unsure. I blacked out.

Beep. Beep. Beep. My heart monitor echoed through the room. I felt something warm over my hand. Toby. I opened my eyes, and there he was. I croaked, "Toby?" He looked at me, and mouthed my name, and kissed me on the lips softly. "The…the baby?" I asked.

"Fine, the baby's fine"

"And…me?"

He looked at me, and pulled me to his chest. "You're okay. The doctor said too much stress could cause…that"

"Oh" Was all I could say. Toby placed his hand over my stomach, his thumb tracing a very small bump in my stomach. "Hmm…" I groaned. "What is it? Are you hurting?" He slipped his hand above my forehead, stroking my belly slowly with the other.

"A…little" Toby got up, and said, "I'm going to go get the doctor, I love you" I smiled weakly, answering,

"I love you too"

Later, I went home, and my stomach hurt from the internal bleeding. Toby had came with me, and told me he would stay with me, no matter what. I was exhausted, so I went up to my room with Toby and fell onto my bed. "Tired?" he asked. "Hmm, very" I yawned. Toby lied next to me, and wrapped me up against his chest. I fell asleep quickly.

I was in a hospital, everything white. But then the walls were flooding with blood, Toby's blood. He was lying on the floor, with a note written in his blood, "SINGLE MOM! –A" I screamed, and woke up from the nightmare. "Toby, you're alright!" I cried. He stroked my arm, and kissed me. "It's alright…. Had a nightmare?" I nodded, and stuffed my head into his chest. "Do you want to talk about it?" I shook my head. "Okay, now go to sleep, I'll be right here when you wake up"

When Toby had left the next day for his work at Jason's house, I was completely alone. He said it would be his last shift until a break.
