A/N: Spencer never went to Toby's house when she returned


Spencer was dreading the day she would have to return to Rosewood to tell the judge if she thinks Charlotte should be released. The day she has been dreading has finally arrived. She prayed and hoped that she wouldn't see Toby so he wouldn't find out that she has keep something from him.

Spencer sighed as she put her car into park and looked back in the rear view mirror to see her two-year-old daughter, Lucy, asleep. She got out of the car and carefully took Lucy out trying to not wake her up. She grabbed the bag and Lucy's stuffed bunny Mr. Hoppers. As she made her way around the curve of the sidewalk she saw four girl sitting at a rounded table. They were talking and laughing then their phone beeped in sync and the girls picked them and examined whatever was on the screens and they sat there in silence looking at each other with a scared face, and then they were all in fits of laughter. She sighed a sigh of relief and smiled.
"Spence?" Some called causing spencer to turn her head to the right to see Aria making her way to her. "Hey Aria." Spencer said and gave her the best hug she could give with a two-year-old on her hip.
"She's gotten so big, since I saw her last." Aria said in a soft tone being careful not to wake her, but as much as she tried; Lucy woke up anyway. Spencer smiled as Lucy rubbed her eyes with her tiny hands and yawned.
"Aunty Aria!" Lucy squealed realizing who was in front of her. Spencer put her down so Lucy could give her a hug.
"Hey Luc" Aria said kneeling down and giving her a hug.
"How about we go inside the brew and talk more." Spencer suggested.
"Sounds good to me." Aria said. Spencer smiled and held Lucy's hand as they crossed the street. When they walked in they saw Emily and Hanna hugging so spencer called out, "Get a room." They smiled and exchanged hugs. The girls sat down and began to talk while Lucy just sat on Spencer's lap sleeping. Every 10 minutes, Spencer would look down and brush a strand of hair out of Lucy's face and smile.
"Have you told Toby yet?" Hanna asked.
"Nope, and I don't think I am going to," Spencer continued "So any exclusives on the new fall line?" Spencer asked Hanna with a smile.


Spencer opened the door to her parents' house and before she could enter Lucy was running in and yelling, "Grandma!" Veronica turned around and saw Lucy running to her as fast as her little legs would allow and picked her up planting kiss on her cheek.
"How's my little angel?" Veronica asked.
"Good." Spencer answered closing the door and walking to the island.
"How are you, Spencer?" She asked. Spencer smiled and responded with, "I'm good mom." Veronica smiled and showed them her campaign speech. After they discussed the plans for her campaign run they ate some lunch and just enjoyed the time together.


Spencer had left Lucy at her parents and was making her way into the school when a voice called out to her. A voice that she didn't want to hear. Spencer stopped and debated turning around or to walk in and pretend t=like she didn't hear him. Spencer decided to turn around and when she did she saw the smiling face of Toby.
