To Be Or Not To Be

Chapter Four: New Loyalties

'Are you going to tell me what that was about, Han?' Caleb asked, sighing.

'Not yet. I can't tell you. It's Spencer's business. I want to tell you but she is my friend and she should be the one to tell people' Hanna replied, as she drove them back to her house.

'Is this how it is going to be from now on?' Caleb questioned, as she pulled up to her house. She ignored him, taking the keys out of the ignition and got out the car, slamming the car door shut.

'Hanna?' she turned, seeing him getting out the car, looking at her like he did not know what to do.

'She is my best fri-'

'And I am your boyfriend but I guess you have already chose where your loyalties lie' he replied, before walking off. She sighed loudly but knew she could not do anything and walked into her house.

Spencer had ran off; her head hurting from processing everything that happened and now this to top it up. She ran to the only person who could relate to how she was feeling right and the last person she thought she would go running to her help: Alison.

She walked up the steps of the Dilaurentis House and knocked the door. Jason opened it.

'Is Alison in?' he nodded, letting her in. She went upstairs and knocked on Alison's door. She heard Alison say come in and she walked in.

'Hey, Spence, you okay?' Spencer shook her head. The tears she had been holding back came spilling out 'Hey! Come on, what's wrong?' Alison stood up, rushing up and put an arm around her, closing her bedroom door as she did. As they sat on her bed, Alison's phone starting ringing.

'It's Toby. What's going on, Spencer?' Alison asked, looking at her phone.

'Just tell I'm okay and I'm with you, please' Spencer replied, wiping her eyes.

'Why can't you tell himself yourself?' Alison questioned, raising a perfectly drawn eyebrow.

'I'm late' Alison's stared at her, her eyes widening.

'Have you taken a test?' Spencer shook her head, wiping away more tears. Alison sighed and answered her phone.

'Hey Toby, yeah she is here, yes she is fine. She's told me. Let me calm her down and I will have Jason drive her back to yours. Yes, I'll tell her' she hung up the phone.

'He says he loves you and if you are, this won't change anything, well not where he is concerned anyways' Alison told Spencer, standing up.

'Where are you going?' Spencer asked, confused.

'I have a spare pregnancy test in my bathroom. Don't ask. Its better you don't know but don't worry, I'm not. Just wait here. Spence, it is going to be okay either way' Alison replied, giving her a small smile and walked out of her room.

Meanwhile, Aria staring at her bedroom celling when there was a knock on her bedroom door. She looked across and saw Hanna.

'Hey, Han, you okay?' Aria asked, as Hanna walked into her room.

'Me and Caleb had a fight. Spencer has some stuff going on, I'll let her tell you but he thinks I chose her over him' Hanna sighed, sitting down.

'We were gone for three weeks, Hanna. Kidnapped, drugged, everything, he is going to be a bit of edge right now' Aria told her, with a sad smile.

'Speaking about being on edge, have you spoke to Ezra?' Hanna questioned, raising an eyebrow.

'I don't know what I can say him. I love him but it's not right, not at the moment. I need to go to college and make memories and right now I can't see him among all that' Aria replied, sighing.

'Sometimes the best thing is to let go. You will figure it out, Aria, you always do' Hanna told her, with a smile.

'Is Spencer okay?' Aria asked, after a moment.

'I don't know. Look, I want to tell you but after the argument I just had with Caleb…'

'It's okay. I understand' Aria said, with a smile.

'I know we have only known we are related for less than year, Spencer but I do care about you. Are you okay?' Jason said, as he drove her back to Toby's.

'If I tell you, you got to promise you won't go into that big brother mode. You'll be about eighteen years too late' Spencer replied, laughing a little.

'Okay, now I am worried, what is it?' he questioned, as they turned a corner.

'I'm pregnant' she told him, sighing.

'Oh wow. I can't promise anything on that front, sorry, Spence. Is that why you came around? For Ali's help?' he asked after a moment.

'Yes. She…I thought she would be the one who would judge less and wouldn't ask me a million questions' she said. She wasn't sure if Jason knew about Alison's pregnancy scare nearly three years so did not want to drop her in it.

'It's okay, Spencer. I know. Ali told me. And the difference between you and her is that you are in a long term relationship, she wasn't' he replied, pulling up outside the coffee shop.

'Thanks for the ride home, Jason' she told him, taking off her seat belt.

'Ali told me you think you know who Charles is. Do you really think that it is that doctor that Melissa was engaged to?' he asked, in a distant voice.

'We need proof but yes we do. Try not to think about it too much. Goodnight' she replied, before getting out of the car. She watched him drive away before walking towards the flat.

'Don't do that again please, Spence. I've been worried' Toby said to her, as she walked through the door. He hugged her tightly, sighing as he did.

'Sorry. I freaked out. I needed a moment' she replied, hugging him back.

'At Alison's?' he questioned, ending the hug and let her walk into the flat.

'She helped me take a test' she replied, quietly.

'Are you?' she nodded. He exhaled deeply before hugging her again.

'This wasn't how I imagined us bringing a baby into the world' she admitted, not wanting to let go as he hugged her.

'It's going to be okay. Spence, we can't wait. We have to call in what you believe and if we have enough evidence, we can go and get this creep' he said, pulling away so he could look at her.

'My dad is going to kill you, you do realise that?' she questioned then she found herself laughing.

'What's so funny about your dad killing me?' he replied, raising an eyebrow.

'It feels so normal. To think after everything we have been through, we still get have moments like these' she told him, sighing with content.

'Okay, just for you, I'll let your dad kill me so you can have a normal moment' she smiled widely and kissed him.

'Oh, I meant to say, that envelope came for you. Not sure why it came here but someone from your school dropped it off' he told her, pointing to the kitchen side.

'Its Saturday' she said, confused and walked over. She opened it, pulling out a strand of black hair.

'Is that Emily's?' Toby asked, in shock.

'Next time, I'm sending her in a body bag if you don't do what I say' Spencer said, reading the note attached to it 'He is getting desperate. I don't think he expected us to work it out so quick'

'We have to something now. I know you are worried about Melissa but his desperation could get Emily killed' he replied

'Do it. There's not just us to think about anymore' she replied, looking down at her stomach and placed a hand there.
