AN: So it's been a while, and I apologize. I have one word to explain-

EXAMS.

(And a touch of writer's block.)

Disclaimer: You know the drill. I will never own Toby's amazing abs.

Spencer POV

"Hanna!" She exclaimed in surprise. "And Emily?" The two girls laughed at her confusion and surprise goodnaturedly. They were sitting side by side and grinning at her. Hanna sported a bright floral design clapper shirt and Emily had on an aquamarine wife beater top with abstract designs throughout. Both wore black leggings underneath the table. Emily was actually in the middle of handing Hanna a slightly crinkled twenty dollar bill, and the blonde herself had a smug expression on her face.

Aria, on the other hand, was wearing a forest green shirt under a small black vest and a distressed beige skirt underneath. The man at her side was dressed in a comfortable light blue polo and black khakis. He stood up to give Toby the 'bro' hug, which consisted of some props and back slapping, and say hello.

"What's up, Toby?" Ezra greeted, pulling out of the hug. "It feels like it's been forever since we last got a drink!"

"It has been." Toby agreed and nodded his head. "When was it, February? It's June, man. We have to make up for lost time."

She tried to weasel her way into the conversation. "If you guys would place your 'bromance' on pause, I'd like to say hello to the girls." She quipped.

"Very well, your Highness." Toby mocked with a shallow bow and a hand flourish.

She nodded in acknowledgment and not too subtly tried to hide her grin. " Thank you, my lowly servant."

She heard her three friends' smothered giggles in the background and turned to them with an accusatory stare. Later, Hanna mouthed to her with a devious smile, but she wasn't willing to let it go just yet. Turning back to the two still-chatting guys, she faked a smile and launched into a diversion. "Hey, do you think you could grab me an iced coffee, please? I'm so thirsty, it's crazy!"

"Sure, I will." Toby affirmed, gesturing to Ezra quickly. "Can I take Ez here with me?"

"Why're you asking?" She inquired. "You're 20 years old, I think you're big enough now to make your own decisions."

"Right." Toby backtracked. "I'll just go get that coffee now." He and Ezra soon disappeared into the steady flow of customers that filled the modest cafe. That was kind of weird, she thought to herself as she watched them.

She turned back to her friends expectantly, running her hands through her curls. "So what's given you compulsive giggling disorder this morning?- And before you ask, I made that up Han."

"You and Toby hooked up, didn't you?" Hanna asked bluntly, a sly grin still conspicuously present on her face.

"Wha- What?" She sputtered in disbelief. "Hanna Marin! No!"

"Liar."

"Am not!"

"Are too!"

"Well I'm not, and-"

"Guys!" Aria broke in, shaking her head. "Can we save the -obviously good natured- bickering for somewhere more private, not a coffeehouse?"

"Fine." She conceded, borrowing a chair from a neighbor table and joining the girls.

"You're Spoby." Hanna singsonged under her breath, but just loud enough for the brunette's ears to pick up on the sound.

"What the hell is a 'Spoby'?" She exclaimed, feeling as if the name was ridiculous. "It sounds like a cleaning agent!"

Both Aria and Emily dissolved into snorts of laughter while Hanna tried to keep a straight face but was obviously failing miserably. She sat there staring at her friends (who were acting quite strange, mind you) in confusion. Eventually Aria managed to rein in her laughing long enough to wipe a small tear in her eye and explain to her what was going on. "It's your couple name," she explained, "because it's Spencer and Toby."

"Oh." She nodded as if she understood. "But we're not dating-"

"Not yet." Hanna interrupted. "I like to think that it's all a matter of time."

"Wait Han!" Emily exclaimed in realization. "That means that you have to give me back that twenty bucks!"

"Nu-uh!" Hanna defended. "It's mine now, so technically I don't have anything to give you!"

"You cheat!" Emily exclaimed, throwing her hands skywards. The rest of their bickering was lost on her as Aria leaned closer.

"Look, I know you didn't want to tell our blonde friend over there," Aria started in a mock-whisper, "but truthfully, did anything happen between you and Mr. Blue Eyed Dean over there last night?"

"No, you absolutely know me better than that. Why do you ask?" She queried.

"Just the, the," Aria searched for the right word, "the dynamic between you two. It's different today."

Teasing more that ever, food fights, dressing her best for going out to a simple coffee shop? Oh no, she realized with a jolt that almost paralyzed her, was she developing feelings for Toby? But that was impossible. They were just good friends... Right?

In the middle of her quite unexpected revelation, two figures approached the table. She only realized this obvious fact when Hanna stood up with a happy smile and open arms, leaving Emily in the middle of an unfinished sentence.

"Caleb!" The girl squealed and pecked him chastely on the lips. "That sandwich run took forever!"

"Well, I went for you Han." Caleb quipped as he returned the favour with a longer, lingering kiss. "There was alot to pick up 'on the way'"

Hanna turned sheepishly to the other girls. "I kinda had them pick up donuts." Upon receiving dubious looks from everyone sitting down the girl defended herself. "I don't control cravings!"

"And the chance to romantically feed them to Caleb in bed, I do read your Facebook statuses Han." She remarked dryly, already wishing that Toby was back with her drink. Her brown curls were practically glued to her neck already.

"Em? You okay?" Paige asked from beside Caleb, her auburn hair curled and wearing the most feminine floral dress they had ever seen her in, which wasn't saying much.

"No." Emily replied sullenly. "I lost an argument with Hanna! How does that even work?"

"Hey!" The blonde in question retaliated. Paige went to comfort Emily, Hanna turned back to her man, and a new figure appeared.

"Spence?" Toby asked from behind a very engaged Hanna and Caleb. Poor him, she thought humorously.

"B! You got it! Have I ever told you that I love you today?"

"Not enough." He teased, gingerly stepping around the lovesick couple and sitting down, Ezra following his lead.

"How come all you guys get the cool nicknames?" Aria pouted.

"What're you talking about?" Ezra asked, completely befuddled.

"You know. You get 'Ez', Toby gets 'B'- but mostly from Spencer here. Speaking of which, she gets 'Spence', Hanna gets 'Han', and Emily gets 'Em'!" The petite brunette explained. "I have the only un-nickname-able name!"

"How about... 'Ar'?" Her boyfriend tried pitifully. "Or, 'Ria'?"

"Hmm." Aria tapped her chin softly, thinking. "I think 'Ar' is fine." She smiled.

Toby POV

He watched Spencer curiously as she talked animatedly to Aria about the pros and cons of nicknames. He stifled a snort of laughter. Only Spencer.

"Guys!" Aria announced loudly, effectively ending her conversation with the other brunette by standing up. "Ezra and I gathered you all here for a purpose."

"Yay, the tiny one has summoned us for a reason!" Hanna exclaimed, clapping her hands.

"Very funny Han." The indeed tiny one retaliated playfully. "But we have big news."

"We're getting married." Ezra finished, wrapping his arms around his girlfriend- his fiancé. But the man spoke again.

"And we're pregnant."

"What?" Chorused Spencer, Hanna and Emily. Paige and Caleb just smiled knowingly and exchanged slightly shocked looks. Was he the only one not surprised at these events? He stood up with a grin and slapped Ezra on the back.

"Congrats, man." He commented, surveying the three speechless girls in front of them. "You managed to shut Spencer and Hanna right up. What's your secret?"

"Earth shattering announcements, bro." Ezra replied jokingly.

The ringtone of a text message seemed to snap all of the girls out of their momentary trance.

'Cause you're a hot mess

And I'm falling for you

And I'm like hot damn-

Blushing, Spencer pulled out her phone and silenced the sound by tapping the screen. Her eyes stayed glued to the rapidly flashing display for longer than usual though.

"What is it, Spence?" He teased gently. "Is the Queen calling again?"

"No." She shook her head, her eyes still fixated on the text. "It's Wren."

AN: Ooohhh, drrama! :) what will Spencer do? How will Toby react?

Sorry the Toby POV was so short, I'll fix that next chapter!

Also, my twitter handle is thForeverYoung for those who asked me! Feel free to tweet me, follow me, or stalk my mostly-Spoby-based tweets. Whatever floats your boat.

I will see you next chapter!

P. S. And that Spencer and Toby makeout scene a couple of episodes ago? HOLY MOTHER OF SPOBY.
