The Gift of Love

Spencer Hastings sat on her terrace looking out into the garden her hair flowing in the wind. Her boyfriend Toby Cavanaugh sat next to her wondering how on earth he deserved the beautiful woman beside him.

They had been together for 3 years now and had had their ups and downs, but they both knew that their love would last forever.

Interrupting Toby from his thoughts Spencer started talking, 'So how was work today?' Strange…. Toby thought, she never asked that, she thought it made them sound like an old married couple. Even though he found it strange he answered 'Good babe how about you?' 'Perfect' she mumbled chewing her nails, something she only did when she was nervous. Toby smiled lovingly at her 'Baby, whats wrong?' he asked.

Despite herself she had to laugh, he always knew when something was wrong 'Nothing, don't worry about it' 'Sweetheart! How long have I dated you now? Three years was it? I know everything about you. I know you bite your nails when you're nervous, you twist your hair around your finger when you're happy and you have the need be perfect at everything you do. So don't try telling me there is nothing wrong… Baby?' During this speech her eyes had filled with tears, 'I-I j-just don't want you to be angry with me…' she stuttered. 'Spencer? Don't you trust me' 'Of course' she replied automaticlly. 'Then tell me whats wrong, I love you. We've been through so much already….' He broke off midsentence but she knew what he meant, A, her best friend dying. 'And I promise you I will love you no matter what.' He continued. 'Toby, baby I love you too. Its just so hard, we're so young and not ready for this….. Toby I-I'm pregnant.' He gasped, he didn't understand how, they had always used protection, they had been so careful. Seeing his shocked face she started weeping, 'I'm so sorry, if you to leave me I understand, I'm…' she was interrupted by Toby crashing his lips into hers. She moaned as his tounge entered her mouth. 'Spencer you're right, we're not ready and we're still young, but first of all it takes two to make a baby and secondly this baby is just a symbol of how much we love each other, and I can't wait to be a daddy.' Spencer smiled tearfully, how could someone be so perfect? 'Toby Cavanaugh I love you so much. You're going to be the best daddy in the world.' 'Spencer Hastings I love you more than there are stars in the sky. You are beautiful and are going to be the perfect mother.' He replied with a huge smile, as they kissed once more
