Hello everybody! Thanks for clicking on my story! Ive rewritten just a few parts because I realized I uploaded the wrong story, one of the unedited ones. So this is set when Spencer and Toby are about 24. She just got out of college and moved back to Rosewood (they had a "long distance" relationship) and he has been working construction. They have one steamy night the day she gets back and now they are really unsure about their future. –A no longer exists, one day they just stopped getting texts and threats. The couples are Spoby, Ezria, Haleb, and Emaya. Enjoy!
Toby opened the door to a distraught looking Spencer standing on the steps of his loft. It was drizzling out, and very chilly. Her hair was damp from the walk from her car to his door. She wore a skintight, black, long-sleeved V-neck with dark red skinny jeans. Her long dark brown tresses were pulled back into a loose half pony. Her silver necklace with big clunky charms clinked as she hopped up the steps.
"Spence? What are you doing here?" Toby stood in the doorway wearing his holey jeans and dark blue t-shirt that made his eyes stand out. "I wasn't expecting you over today."
"I wasn't expecting to show up today." She was looking down at her black combat boots.
"Come on in, babe. It's freezing out there." Toby opened the door wider inviting her inside.
Spencer shook off her black trench coat and hung it on the rack as she quickly walked in, Toby shutting the door behind her. He took her by the hand and pulled her over to him. He gave her a long kiss, since he hadn't seen her since yesterday morning.
"Hi," Spencer said half-heartedly.
"Hi," Toby said back, examining his girlfriend's odd behavior.
"We need to talk. Now." Spencer walked over to the couch and sat down. She patted the seat next to her, signaling for him to come and sit by her.
Toby sat down next to her. He had a knot in his stomach. He could tell where this was going. "What about?"
"Well…" Spencer paused. She looked down at Toby's jeans. "You know I can fix those." Toby chuckled.
"Seriously, Spence. What's this all about?" Spencer took Toby's hands in hers and looked him directly in his beautiful blue eyes. Those eyes. She would miss them. He surely wouldn't want anything to do with her after he received this possibly life altering news. "Toby," she began, "I'm late."
"Do you need a lift? I can give you a ride. What are you late for?"
"No Toby. Not like that." Spencer took a deep breath. "I'm late late. You know…", she cocked her head little to the left," late."
"Ohhh… You know what Spence, it's probably nothing. I hear this kind of stuff happens because of stress too. I'm sure you will be fine in a couple of days." He was in a way relieved, but still on edge. He thought she was going to break up with him, but instead she might be pregnant.
"No, you see, that's the thing Toby. I don't want to wait another couple of days 'just to see'. I want answers now."
Toby expected nothing less from Spencer. She was the type of girl who knew what she wanted, when she wanted it, how to get, and would stop at nothing till she got it.
"Well, how do you expect to go about that?"
Spencer lifted up a brown paper bag. "That's what these are for." She pulled a bright pink box out of the bag. She tugged at the box, practically super-glued shut, and ripped it open. Spencer, already flustered, looked up at Toby, tears at the brim of her eyes.
She frustratedly snatched one of the three pregnancy tests from the floor and stomped to the bathroom. Stopping in the doorway, she turned around to look at Toby who had one arm folded across his chest, and his other hand pinched the bridge of his nose. She sighed, looked down at her flat tummy, looked back at Toby, and shut the door.
"Come on, come on…" Spencer shook the little plastic stick roughly in her hand. Spencer sits with Toby in his kitchen, at his little excuse for a kitchen table.
"Spence, you're gonna break it. Just… leave it be. Put it down."
She looked back at Toby, groaned, and threw the test onto the table. It slid to the other side and fell off. This pushed Spencer over the edge.
"God, Toby, I don't understand! I work my ass off for my entire life and all of it is down the drain within a few months! I finally get a decent job after 6 years of college living an hour away from you, I go through hell with the whole –A disaster, and after I pay my dues, I still can't catch a break!"
By now Spencer is hyperventilating and Toby looks like a deer in the headlights, never seeing Spencer freak out this bad before. He walks up to her. Spencer is holding herself and she looks up when Toby takes her by the shoulders and pulls her in for a hug. Nothing passionate, nothing romantic. Just a hug, which is all she needs.
"Oh, Toby. I just want you to hold me like this forever. "
She sobbed into Toby's shoulder. Spencer's phone buzzed, the alarm she set signaling that it was time, and she shuddered. This was it. Her life could possibly be changing forever. Toby just squeezed her tighter then pulled back and lifted her chin up. He looked into those big brown eyes of hers and they reminded him of a nice mug of hot cocoa, warm and cozy just like her. "Hey," he began," Spencer, no matter what happens I just want you to know that I'm there. I will always be there. Whether it's getting you peanut butter and tuna sandwiches at 2:00 in the morning, or comforting you after we dodge this crisis. I will always be here."
Spencer inhaled a shaky breath, nodded, and slowly walked over to the opposite side of the table. She kneeled down, picked up the pregnancy test without looking at it, and walked back to Toby. She looked at him and he looked at her. They both nodded, and Spencer flipped up the pregnancy test so they could see.
