I started this out as a one shot for One and Done and I decided to make it its own story. I hope you all like it let me know what you think so far. Please review!
"So you're going out to dinner with Toby tonight, huh?" Veronica asked as Spencer fixed her dress for the thousandth time.
"We're just friends mom" Spencer said. "I told you he's building a house, probably for his girlfriend who he's probably gonna propose to and live happily ever after with"
"You bought a new dress" Veronica said.
"I bought this dress for me, not to impress him" she insisted.
"Maybe he wants you back, maybe the house is for you" Veronica said almost hopefully.
"No" Spencer said shaking her head "we've been broken up for years, plus he's picking me up at 5"
"So?" Veronica asked not getting what that had to do with anything.
"You don't go on a date date at 5o'clock" she said "you go on a date at 5o'clock when you have someone to get home to"
Veronica rolled her eyes. There was a knock at the door. Veronica opened it and there was Toby. He was wearing a form fitting suit and man did he fill it well.
"My, my Toby" Veronica said "you clean up good"
"Thank you, Mrs. Hastings" Toby said with almost a blush.
"Oh please call me Veronica" she said.
Toby turned his attention to Spencer.
"You look ravishing!" He breathed.
"Thank you" Spencer said "you're no slouch yourself"
Toby took Spencer to her favorite restaurant. They talked and laughed and filled each other in on their lives. Spencer wondered if maybe her mom was right maybe he did want her back. Her bliss was wrecked when Toby's phone rang and she saw "Rebecca" come across the screen.
"I'm sorry" he said apologetically. "I have to take this"
He turned away so his phone was away from her.
"Did you check under the bed?" He asked with a chuckle.
"Good" he said about a minute later.
"Yeah, the bath towels are in the closet next to the bathroom, top shelf" he said.
"Yeah" he chuckled again. Spencer wondered when he'd gotten so giggly. Probably at the thought of his naked girlfriend prancing around his apartment.
"I'll be home before you fall asleep" he said checking his watch. "I love you"
He turned back to Spencer who was trying to give him her best fake smile.
"Listen, if you gotta get home, I can take a cab" she said.
"No, no, I'll drive you" he insisted. As they drove in silence he wondered if his girlfriend knew he was out with her tonight. Maybe he'd called her an "old friend" or she was probably the awesome kind of girlfriend that never got jealous. She'd been so lost in her own thoughts that she was surprised when they stopped. She was even more surprised to see that they weren't outside Spencer's house. In fact she didn't know where they were.
"I don't want you to feel ambushed" he said.
"Ok" she said urging him to continue.
"You asked me who I'm building the house for." He said "I want you to meet her"
Spencer was intrigued but also a little heart broken. Did he want to rub her nose in it? Did he have some crazy idea they'd have a threesome? She thought she knew Toby but he'd been acting strange all evening.
"Ok" she said. She'd never really been able to say no to him.
Toby unlocked the door to his apartment and they went in. She heard an obnoxious beeping it took her a second to realize was a security alarm. She watched as he punched in 6 numbers, probably his and his girlfriends anniversary, he'd used their anniversary when they were together. Spencer did the math and realized he'd been with her 3+ years. If it was their anniversary.
"Hey!" A brunette said from the couch. She was on a laptop. "I didn't know how late you'd be so I set it"
"That's fine" he said.
"I'll be right back" he said to Spencer putting a hand on her arm before going into the back of the apartment. If she knew Toby at all he was probably getting out of that suit.
"Don't mind me" the brunette said from the couch "I'm not being rude I just need to finish this paragraph"
"It's okay" Spencer said standing there not knowing what to do. Why did Toby leave her here to be awkward with his new girlfriend?.
"Sit down stay awhile" she said closing the laptop and putting it in its case.
Spencer sat down.
"I'm Rebecca" she said "it is so nice to finally meet you! I've heard so much about you, between Toby and your parents, I feel like I know you"
"My parents?!" She asked "you know my parents?"
"Yeah, Toby got me a summer intern position in your mom's firm" she said in a bubbly manner. "I've been hoping he can get me a spot in her campaign, fingers crossed"
Spencer smiled politely while thinking "No way in hell"
Rebecca stood and put on her jacket, grabbing her laptop.
"You're leaving?" Spencer asked. Weren't they supposed to be bonding or some crap she didn't understand.
"Yeah" she said. "He really cares about you and tonight's really important to him. I hope to see you again"
Spencer was engrossed in her phone when she heard Toby say her name. She looked up, it took her a few seconds to process that he was holding a toddler in his arms.
"Spencer this is Maya" he said walking into the living room. She had bright blonde hair and piercing blue eyes. She turned her head burying her face in Toby's chest.
"She's shy like her daddy" Toby chuckled.
"So Rebecca?" Spencer asked.
"Is my babysitter" he nodded.
She laughed.
"I thought..." She started.
"I know what you thought" he said "I figured if you were brave enough to meet my girlfriend you wouldn't be totally disappointed when you find out you were really meeting my daughter."
"You have a kid" she said still processing.
"Yeah, and being a single dad ain't all it's cracked up to be in movies and tv" he joked.
"Where's her mom?" She asked knowing Toby was the kind of guy that would've tried to make it work.
"She left us" Toby said. "Went to the store to get diapers one day and never came back"
"Oh my god Toby I'm so sorry" Spencer said. She stood and walked over to them.
"I'm building the house for her, because she's everything to me, I love her more than I ever loved anyone"
"She's beautiful" Spencer cooed rubbing her back.
Spencer watched him put Maya to bed. She was falling in love with this new version of him. She'd never stopped loving him.
"I wanted to call you so many times" he said as they sat down with a couple of beers. "I didn't feel like I had the right"
"You could've called" Spencer said.
"I wish I had" he confessed.
"Well, I'm here now" Spencer said turning his head towards her as her hand went in his hair and her tongue went in his mouth.
I hope you all liked this so far and I will have chapter two up soon!
