He knew HIS Spencer. And HIS Spencer was showing emotion as she was desperately trying to convince him and the others that she was the real Spencer. He knew that face. That face he has seen so many times before she let the tears fall. But he knew without a doubt it was her as soon as the first French word was out of her mouth. When he found out she was missing, he was terrified something happened to her. Terrified he would never see her again. Terrified he would never get to tell her that he loved her again. But there she was. Right there. Looking more beautiful than ever. He wanted to run over to her and hug her and never let her go. But he was restraining Alex to keep Spencer and the others safe. It was only mere seconds until the arresting cop placed handcuffs on Alex, but to Toby, it seemed like an eternity. As soon as Toby was able to let go of Alex, he was at Spencer's side, pulling her into an embrace. As soon as he wrapped his arms around her, Spencer sank into him.

"Toby…" Spencer whispered, her voice cracking.

"I'm here Spence, I'm here." Toby said, gently tightening his embrace around her. She was safe and he didn't want to let her go.

The two didn't know how long they were in each others arms. It could have been mere seconds or minutes. But they didn't want to let go of each other. She was finally in the arms of her safe place to land and he was in the arms of the love of his life. It was all over. No more threats. No more lies. Nothing could keep them apart now.

"Not to break up anything, but I think I've had my share of creepy underground bunkers for a lifetime..." Hanna said, looking around the bunker that creepily resembled the outside of Toby's house that he built. This Alex chic was way too obsessed with Toby for some reason. Hanna thought.

"Yeah, this place gives me the creeps." Aria added.

Spencer slowly let herself out of Toby's embrace, but didn't take her eyes off of him. "Yeah. Let's get out of here."

"So Alex took over the game when Charlotte died?" Emily asked.

"Yeah, to get revenge for her death…she came back because she wanted to take over my life. She told me she was jealous of the life I was living." Spencer replied, a chill running through her spine at the thought of Alex actually taking over her life.

"Creepy…" Emily said, sitting down on the arm of the couch by Ali.

"Spencer…I hate to ask this…but what was Alex going to do with you and Ezra down there?" Aria asked, fear evident in her voice.

"Probably let her rot down there." Hanna responded dryly.

"Hanna!" Aria, Emily and Allison responded in union.

"What?" Hanna asked.

"No, she's right…she was probably going to do that...or kill us eventually. She actually already fooled some of us by pretending to be me." Spencer said.

"Wait, what?" Allison asked, baffled.

"She told me that she was there with Hanna when she was kidnapped…when she gave Toby the book of poems…and when she saw Ezra in the airport with Wren. She fooled us all. Who knows how many other times she's done it." Spencer said, placing her face into the palms of her hands. She had a headache trying to wrap her head around the recent events and it made her sick at the thought of Alex being with Toby. What kind of sick, twisted person does that?

"So wait…did Wren have anything to do with this? Was he part of the game?" Emily asked.

"Technically no. Short story short, Wren and Alex were dating. When Wren kept seeing Alex as Alex and not as me, she killed him and turned his ashes into an eternity stone…because she said "diamonds last forever"…" Spencer said, still not believing how psycho someone could be.

"And when you thought someone couldn't get anymore crazy." Ali mumbled to herself.

There was a moment of silence. Everyone was taking in what they had just learned. Spencer had a twin. A crazy, evil twin who did horrible things to all of them just to take over Spencer's life.

"Well I'm just glad you and Ezra are ok. I couldn't imagine how scary that must have been for you two." Aria said, breaking the silence as she grabbed Ezra's hand and squeezing it.

"Yeah, well I'm sorry your wedding day didn't go as planned." Spencer told Aria and Ezra sincerely.

"Spencer, you have nothing to be sorry for. If anything, Aria and I should be thanking you. If it wasn't for you unlocking that lock with a bobby pin and shoving me out of the way before I became part of an axe murder, I wouldn't be here." Ezra said. "And I think I speak for everyone when I say I think everyone has had more than enough for toda. I think we all need to get some much needed rest." Ezra added.

"I agree. Spencer, we can give you a ride home." Ali offered.

"Thanks Ali, but I think I'm going to stay here for the night. I don't really feel like going home with my mom and Melissa there. I really don't want to explain everything to them yet." Spencer said.

"Spencer, I don't want you staying here by yourself. I don't feel comfortable with that idea." Emily argued.

"I'll stay with her." Toby offered.

After everyone but Spencer and Toby left, Spencer went over to sit on the couch. Toby looked at her and could tell that she was mentally, emotionally and physically drained. Who wouldn't be? She had been through so much. More than any normal person goes through in a lifetime. But yet, she was still so strong. She never gave up. How was that possible?

"You know you don't have to stay Toby, I don't want you to feel like you have to." Spencer finally said.

Toby went over and sat down by her and took her hand into his, looking into her eyes. "I'm staying Spencer. Nothing is going to change my mind about that."

They sat in silence for a moment. Spencer didn't really know what to say. There was so much to say. Should she tell Toby that Alex was pretending to be her when Alex slept with him? The thought made her sick to her stomach. She felt like she was going to throw up. She put her hand to her mouth and ran to the bathroom. Toby, realizing what was happening, was right behind her. Spencer emptied the contents of her stomach into the toilet, which wasn't much since she hardly ate anything but a couple of bites since she was taken, so she was mostly dry heaving. Toby held her hair back and rubbed her back. After Spencer was done, she washed her mouth out with water and sat back on the floor, sitting against the sink vanity.

"Toby," Spencer said, breaking the silence. Her voice cracked. There were more tears in her eyes. She wasn't afraid to let them fall this time. "There's something that I need to tell you. Something that Alex told me but I didn't want to say in front of everyone else…" Spencer stopped. She knew if she didn't say anything, it would just eat at her and it would continue to make her more sick. She wiped away at some of the tears that had fallen.

"...Alex was pretending to be me with you other than the time she gave you the book of poems….she told me that she slept with you…" Spencer said, looking away, the tears continued to fall from her eyes.

"I know…" Toby said, a look of shame crossing his face.

"What?" Spencer asked, now looking at Toby.

"I mean, I didn't know at the time. I should have known…I should have known it wasn't you…seriously, how stupid can I be? I-"

"Toby.."

"No, I mean, I thought it was weird…I had this weird vibe at the time. But I just brushed it off. With everything going on, I knew you were stressed and I….when Bashful freaked out at the horse stables and when Jenna called and thought something was off about you, I looked at the book of poems she gave me and realized it wasn't yours. There were no notes in it. Not one. That's when I put the pieces together. I'm just…I'm so sorry Spencer. I should have known something wasn't right." Toby said, looking at Spencer with tears in his eyes.

"Toby, it's not your fault. You didn't know. She fooled us all…I just feel terrible she took advantage of you like that, especially after-…I'm just so sorry you had to go through that again." Spencer said as she looked away from Toby. Even though it wasn't her fault what happened to him, she still somehow felt like she was to blame.

"Spencer, like you said, she fooled us all. And you have nothing to be sorry about, ok? Now, enough about me, how are you?" Toby said sincerely.

"I...I don't know…everything was going great and then I find out I have a crazy evil twin…I honestly don't even know what to think…I don't even know how long I was down there…" Spencer's said, wiping another tear away.

"You want to hear what I think? I think you are stronger than anyone that I know. You have been through so much, yet you stay incredibly strong. You never give up. How is that possible?" Toby said. He took a strand of Spencer's hair and tucked it behind her ear. He then took his hands and gently wiped away all of her tears.

"It's a Hastings thing I guess." Spencer said, giving a half smile.

"No, I think it's a Spencer thing." Toby said, returning the half smile.

"Now, let's get you cleaned up, okay? I accidentally left some shorts and a shirt here from the other night. You take a hot shower and I'll get everything ready for you, okay?" Toby said, helping Spencer up to her feet.

"Okay." Spencer said, sniffling.

Toby got up and went to get the his shirt for Spencer and to make sure everything was ready while Spencer turned on the shower and began to bush her teeth from the extra toothpaste and toothbrush that she kept there. She then undressed, taking off the clothes that Alex had put her in. She made a mental note to burn them later. She then stepped into the hot shower where steam surrounded her. She exhaled deeply as she let the hot water run over her body. She had been so scared. She didn't think she would ever get out of that bunker. She didn't think she would ever see her friends again. She didn't think she would ever see her mom or Melissa again. She didn't think she would ever see Toby again…the tears really started coming now. Her tears quickly turned into uncontrollable sobs as she slid down the shower wall, letting it all out. She had been holding it in. She didn't want to show everyone how weak she really was. Through her sobs, Toby heard them and came running into the bathroom, placing the shirt on the sink. Toby turned off the shower and held Spencer against his chest, as she was still sobbing uncontrollably.

"Hey, shhhh…it's okay Spencer. I'm here. You're safe now. She's gone. She can't hurt anyone anymore." Toby said, still holding her tightly against his chest. It pained him to see her this way. So scared. So broken.

"I was so scared Toby…." Spencer said in between sobs.

"I know baby, I know." Toby said, as he gently caressed her hair. He placed a kiss on top of her head and continued to hold her until her sobs got under control.

"I'm going to get you a towel, okay?"

Spencer nodded silently as Toby went over to the shelf to grab a towel. He wrapped Spencer in it and he dried her off. Spencer felt silly that he had to do this for her, like she was a young child, but at the moment, she couldn't bring herself to do it. She was drained. So drained. Toby then took his shirt and placed it over her head. Spencer still had tears rolling down her cheeks, but her sobs had completely gone away.

"Hey, it's okay. Okay? You're safe. I'm never going to let anything happen to you." Toby said, bringing her into a hug. Spencer let herself sink into his embrace for a second time that night. Oh how she missed her safe place to land. So much. She allowed herself to sink into his embrace for a minute longer.

Toby then gently grabbed her hand and took her into the bedroom. Spencer sat down on the bed and looked at Toby as he was grabbing his shorts. He was here. After everything he had been through, he was still here. For her. And she didn't know why. But she knew one thing. She knew that she needed him tonight. She didn't want to be alone and he was the only one on this planet that could make her feel safe.

"Toby, will you stay in here with me? Please? I don't want to be alone." Spencer asked, still looking at him. She was afraid that he wouldn't want to.

"Of course, Spence. Let me go change real quick."

Spencer gave him a look that seemed to say that she didn't want to be left alone. Not after everything that happened. She already let herself go when she was alone in the bathroom when she was taking a shower. She didn't want it to happen a second time that night. Toby saw how she looked at him and knew what was going through her head.

"I'll leave the door open, okay? You won't be in here alone." Toby told her reassuringly.

Toby went into the bathroom to change. He was out of view but she could see his reflection in the bathroom mirror. He took off his shirt and he was very toned. He had gotten more muscular since last time she saw him without a shirt. She bit her lip. A flashback of their first night together in the motel room went though her mind. How much has changed since then. But the one thing hasn't changed since then was her growing feelings for him. But she wasn't so sure that he still had feelings for her. Maybe he was just being a good friend to her tonight. That's what friends do. They are there for you when you need them. She laid down and pulled the covers around her body as she waited for Toby to come back into the bedroom.

Seconds later, Toby came in and crawled into bed with Spencer. He missed her so much. When he first returned to Rosewood, he didn't know how Spencer felt about him. He still had feelings for her. Strong feelings. But he knew she still had feelings for him when she put "limerence" on the scrabble board. He placed his arms around her to show her that him being here was more than a friend. They fit together perfectly. Like two puzzle pieces. She let her body melt into his, forgetting how it felt to feel this safe. He then took her hand into his and caressed her hand. They didn't say anything for a while. They just enjoyed being this close to each other. They had missed each other so, so much.

"Thank you." Spencer said, breaking one of the many silences that night.

"For what?" Toby asked.

"For being here, for saving me…for everything." Spencer said, now facing Toby.

"Spencer…" Toby said, taking her face into his hands, "you mean the world to me. I was so scared that I would never get to see you again…"

Toby paused. He thought about what he wanted to say next. He was scared. Scared that if he said it he didn't want to go through another heartbreak if things didn't work out. But he also knew that he almost lost her today. He couldn't imagine a life without her. He didn't want to waste anymore time. She deserved to know how he felt.

"Spencer…I love you. So much." Toby said, caressing her cheek.

Before Spencer could say anything, he brought his lips to hers, giving her a gentle, but oh so loving kiss. Electricity shot through both of their bodies. Spencer's heartbeat quickened and something she hadn't felt in a long time…butterflies. Butterflies invaded her stomach. For the first time in years she felt truly happy. As if everything was going to be okay again. They parted their lips, and a smile was plastered across both of their faces.

Spencer had another tear roll down her cheek. But this time it was a happy tear. She took her hands and caressed Toby's face gently. Looking at the man that she never stopped loving. The man that came back into her life. The man that just confessed his love for her.

"I love you too, Toby." Spencer said as she gave Toby another kiss.

The two then laid there, in each others embrace, falling asleep to each others heartbeats. The heartbeats of the love of their lives.
