Nothing Stays the Same.

Chapter 1. Little Black Box

The blue eyed boy held her hand in his, he couldn't believe that his beautiful Spencer was his and he would make her his for the rest of their lives. He would always want to be with her, to hold her, to make her happy for as long as they lived.

Spencer smiled up at him, "Okay, why are we in the park again?" she asked him.

"I told you. I wanted to have a special picnic with you. It's a beautiful day, what better way to spend it than with my beautiful girl." he commented, before leaning in and giving her a little kiss.

Toby had everything all planned out, waiting for this day had filled him with anticipation and an excitement that only her love brought him. He let go of Spencer's hand only to set out the red checkered blanket that they brought with them while Spencer began to take out things from the basket. She set out the sandwiches and the bottles of Coca-Cola. When everything was all set she looked up at Toby and held up one of the bottles, "You're going to have to help open these you know? Only your strong hands could do the job..." she said with a smirk playing about on her lips.

Toby chuckled lightly and took the bottle from her hand, and with a single twist the cap popped off of the bottle, only to have her hand him the other one. "You know it isn't that hard..." he teased her as he popped the cap off of that bottle too.

Spencer laughed, "Of course I know... I just like to watch you work. Always have and always will..." she told him before she leaned over and gave him a little peck on the lips. "Now, I'm starving, and I would like to know what the brilliant hands of Toby Cavanaugh have created today."

Toby smiled as he unwrapped one of the sandwiches, "It's no masterpiece, but these so called brilliant hands have made ham sandwiches. Enjoy." He handed her the sandwich. Ham sandwiches were classic, even if you had hardly any cooking experience you could make them.

She smiled at him, knowing that this was the boy she would want to spend forever with if she were given the opportunity. He made her so happy, even in such a dark time. With the War going on, she knew happiness wasn't something that was felt for everyone, and she was thankful for ever moment spent with him, as she knew he could be called off to serve in the War at any moment. Just like most every other guy of age.

Their little picnic went on with casual conversation and a few games that were like their tradition, including Scrabble, something that Spencer was good at, but Toby had managed to beat her once or twice.

Toby was putting things back into the wooden picnic basket. The only item that hadn't been touched the whole time of their little date was the box that held something special, which was safely put away in pocket of his jacket.

Suddenly the butterflies in his stomach began to flutter more, the anticipation welling up inside of him about to burst. he knew if he didn't do it now then he may lose his chance.

"Hey, Spence. Would you do me a favor and grab that end of the blanket for me?" he asked, as he pushed himself up so he was now on his knees.

"Sure." she said, standing up to get the other end of the checkered blanket.

While she was turned away from him he stood and walked behind her, wrapping his hands around her waist from behind and he began to pull her away from their spot.

She laughed, "What are you doing? You're leaving a lot of stuff behind." she said as she walked with him, allowing him to guide her.

"Don't worry about that. I've got the most important thing I brought right here in my arms." he said, before he turned her around. They were now standing by the little duck pond. To others, it looked like nothing special, but to Toby and Spencer this spot held sentimental value. It was where they had had their first kiss a little over a year and a half ago.

Spencer wanted to kiss him but he put his finger to her lips as if he knew what she was thinking.

The male took her hands in his and looked her in the eyes, "Spencer, you know how much I love you. How much I care about you. How long I waited for someone as wonderful, beautiful, smart, funny, goofy, as you, to come into my life. And now, I know that that is exactly how I would want to spend the rest of my life, next to you." he said.

At that moment, the brunette stood there in shock, she could feel tears of joy begin to form in the corners of her eyes.

The boy bent down on one knee, his heart racing though he was sure that this was what he wanted, forever and always. He pulled the little black box out of his jacket, opening it's velvety lid to reveal a stunning diamond on a perfect silver band.

Spencer's breath caught in her throat and the world seemed like it stopped spinning, and the only thing that existed were her and Toby and this moment. Like she could stand there forever and know that he would always love her as she would always love him.

"Spencer Avery Hastings, will you marry me?" said the blue eyed male. His heart had been beating so fast he was afraid it would suddenly stop if she said no. No, he knew it would stop. Toby had waited so long and he hoped she would say yes.

She stood there, not knowing what to say. She loved him, she wanted to be with him forever, she wanted to have his children, and be able to call herself Spencer Cavanaugh.

"Yes." she said, a huge smile on her face.

As if in disbelief, Toby repeated her, "Yes?"

"YES!" she shouted back, even happier than before. A tear slid down her face as her now future husband stood up in front of her and pulled her into him, kissing her like he had never felt her lips before, never wanting to let go.

When they broke the kiss, he pulled his face away from hers only a little. "I love you." he whispered against her lips.
