"Good morning beautiful" Toby said as he rubbed Spencer's bare stomach. She had spent the last three days and nights with him. The time they didn't spend caring for or playing with Amelia was spent tangled in the sheets. Toby could almost imagine they had always been like this. She started kissing him when Amelia started crying Spencer got up completely naked and got Amelia and brought her into the bedroom.
"We're having dinner with my parents tonight" Spencer said as Amelia suckled on her breast.
"It is going to be fine" he assured her although he couldn't imagine her parents were going to react well to the existence of their unplanned granddaughter, especially when they found out that she had dropped out of Georgetown and had been using the refund to take care of her and Amelia. Toby intended to pay them back the amount of the refund and tell them he was taking financial responsibility for Spencer and Amelia from now on. He wanted to smooth over as much as possible with the Hastings. They were Amelia's grandparents after all. Spencer had set Amelia down and was now silently sitting on the bed.
"Baby what's the matter?" he asked scooching up next to her.
"What if I'm pregnant again?" she asked concerned. "What are people gonna say about me? Two unplanned pregnancies in a year?"
"We talked about this Spencer" he said putting an arm around her shoulder. "We are waiting a week and then we are going to go to the drugstore and get some tests." He said.
She nodded remembering their agreement.
"I need to go over to my place and get more clothes for me and Amelia" she said picking hers and Amelia's last outfits out of the overnight bag she had brought.
"Move in with me" Toby said on impulse.
She hesitated
"Come on we've been going at it like crazy, we're really happy, you and Amelia should be here with me" he said.
"I kinda like having somewhere else to go in case something happens" she said quietly hoping her saying that wouldn't cause a fight.
"Nothing's going to happen baby, we love each other" he said. Toby didn't particularly like the idea of Spencer running off to Caleb the minute that things got hard between them.
She sighed.
"I'll think about it"
On her way to her apartment Spencer dialed Aria and asked her to pick up a handful of pregnancy tests and meet her at her place. She knew that Caleb was working so she knew that they would be alone.
"Please tell me this is a joke" Aria said as she came in with three tests in a brown paper bag.
"Don't give me the third degree I can't believe I did this either" she said exasperated.
"Um who is the father? Is it Caleb?" she asked the last part in a whisper as if someone would hear.
"No!" she said "Its Toby's, he found out about Amelia and insisted on seeing her and things got cozy. I still love him the only reason we weren't together is because I thought he didn't want me anymore" she explained. Half an hour later Spencer and Aria were staring at three negative tests.
"It's probably too soon" aria said "you know that right?"
"I just had to check" she said.
"Well, all I am saying is don't go dancing in the streets that you're not pregnant just yet." Aria said.
"Can you go get me some more tests, you know the ones that say early detection maybe I should try some of those" she said.
"Ok but if I run into anyone I know while I am there I will kill you" Aria said half joking.
Spencer was packing up more clothes and things when she heard the door open.
"Spencer! You're back" Caleb said happily hugging her. "Where's Amelia?"
"She is with Toby" she said.
"Oh, you got the night off, we could go out to dinner or something" he suggested.
"I just came for more clothes actually" she said.
"You and Amelia should be here with me" Caleb said briskly.
"Toby is Amelia's father and I love him." she said hoping that would be the end of it.
"You didn't love him the night before he found out about Amelia." He said through gritted teeth. "Does he know where that dirty little mouth of yours has been? I should tell him"
"Please don't" she cried.
"I'm sorry" he said "I just think you and Amelia deserve the best"
He left and Spencer sighed with relief. She had to get out of here. Her relief was short lived when she saw Caleb in the doorway.
"You're fucking him again?" he asked holding up a pregnancy test. Spencer began to cry silently.
"You know when I first came to town I ignored rumors I heard about Hanna and her friends. But you really are a little slut just like everyone said." He said coming over to her. He pushed her down on the bed.
"No….no….no" she stuttered.
"You didn't say no to him!" he nearly growled.
"We'll see how much he loves you when he finds out you fucked me too" he said undoing his pants while still holding her down with one hand.
She was crying and begging him to stop when all of a sudden he went flying. She looked to see Toby beating Caleb up.
Amelia was in Arias arms. Toby beat Caleb until he was nearly unconscious and then turned to Spencer.
"Pack all your things, you don't live here anymore" he ordered Spencer. She was in no position to complain which she didn't want to anyway. Aria called Ezra and Mike to help move the bigger furniture. After the events of the day telling her parents about Amelia didn't seem like such a big deal.
Spencer dressed Amelia in her best dress, she was in her best dress and Toby was in a button down and slacks. Surprisingly all the outfits matched.
"We look like a family" he said kissing her cheek as she stood in front of the mirror analyzing her and Amelia's outfits for another minute. Finally they headed out and drove the short distance to the Hastings manor. Spencer rang the doorbell apprehensively.
"It's going to be fine" he said to Spencer sensing her anxiety.
"Spencer!" her mom beamed at her as she opened the door pulling her into a hug. "Toby it's been awhile" she said hugging him too. Her smile faded when she realized he was holding a baby carrier. A look of confusion came over her face as she looked at them, then the baby then back at them as if she couldn't get the two things to coexist in her mind.
"Well come on in" she said regaining her composure. "Do either of you want something to drink? Wine or Beer?" She asked.
"Just ice water for me" Toby said "I'm driving"
"I'll just have ice water too" she said "since I'm breastfeeding"
Her mother nodded and went into the kitchen. They could hear her mother's voice and a few seconds later Peter Hastings appeared. He cast a glance at Amelia before greeting Toby and Spencer. He didn't say one word about the baby. Toby and Peter began talking about the settlement on his house. Spencer hadn't realized that he and his father had hired her dad to do the lawsuit. Her mom came in and slipped Amelia out of her carrier.
"Her name is Amelia" Spencer said as her mom cradled the baby.
"She's beautiful" her mom said simply. Spencer pulled out her camera and took a picture. On instinct her mom turned toward Peter who put an arm around her and looked down at the baby caressing her cheek with his finger. It was the perfect picture.
The chef announced that dinner was ready and they all went into the dining room. They were sitting at the table when Spencer exploded. She knew her parents would freak out on her sooner or later and she wanted to get it over with.
"I dropped out of Georgetown" she blurted out "and I have been using the refund money to support me and Amelia."
"Which now that I know about Amelia, I will be paying back to you, I will be supporting Spencer and Amelia financially from now on" Toby interjected not sure why she was sabotaging a perfectly nice evening.
"What do you mean 'now that you know about Amelia'?" Peter asked.
"Spencer didn't tell me" he said "I only found out about a week ago"
"How could you not tell Toby he was going to be a dad?" Peter asked.
"At first I thought I was going to have an abortion, Then I thought I was going to put her up for adoption. It wasn't until…."
"Excuse me!" her mother said getting up from the table and leaving abruptly.
"Mom!" Spencer said following her. "Look I know me getting pregnant wasn't in the five year plan" she said.
"I'm not upset that you got pregnant Spencer" she said "I'm upset you didn't tell us, I'm upset you almost had an abortion and then you almost put her up for adoption. As selfish as it sounds, Melissa has had two miscarriages, you may be my only chance to have grandbabies."
"I'm sorry mom" she said hugging her.
They went back into the dining room and sat to eat.
"So when is the wedding and how much is it going to cost me?" Peter said jokingly.
"We're not getting married" Spencer said.
"Don't be ridiculous" Veronica said "You have a child together, you should be married"
"We aren't getting married!" she said angrily. She then noticed the upset look on Toby's face.
"I'll rephrase" she said. "We aren't going to get married just because we have Amelia, When and if we get married it's going to be because we want to spend the rest of our lives together."
Her parents backed off the marriage issue and she was thankful. The rest of dinner went without incident and they made plans to come back soon for a visit.
Spencer was exhausted from the day when they got back to Toby's house. He told her to go to bed and that he would put the baby down. He was surprised when he came back to his room and Spencer wasn't in bed. He found her sitting by the toilet in the master bathroom.
"I think we should schedule a doctor's appointment" she said as she got up to wash her face.
DUN DUN DUN! Do you think that Spencer is pregnant again? Do you think Toby will propose? Do you think Toby will find out about what happened with Caleb? How do you think he will react?
Until next time my lovelies…..
