Chapter 11:
Spencer's POV:
Me, Toby and Isabella have just come home from the hospital after visiting Mason.
Spencer: Toby, I can't go to work tomorrow as I have another physical therapy session. Can you pick me up on your break?
Toby: Yeah, will you be staying with Mason after?
Spencer: May as well.
Toby: Ok.
Isabella: Daddy, I don't feel well.
Toby: Come here?
Isabella sits on Toby's lap.
Toby: What's wrong?
Isabella: My head hurts and so does my tummy.
Toby: It's probably just a stomach bug. Spence, there's some medicine in the cabinet, could you grab it please?
I do what Toby asks for me. I sit back down and feed it to my daughter.
Spencer: I think you should have a nap.
Isabella: Ok.
Toby takes Isabella upstairs. He returns and sits back on the couch with me.
Toby: I think she'll be fine.
Spencer: Ok. Toby, can I tell you something.
Toby: Yeah.
As Toby starts to fiddle with his phone, I Move closer to him and smack our lips together.
Toby: Now what did I do to deserve that?
Me and Toby smile at each other and I run my fingers through his hair.
Toby's POV:
Spencer: Everything. For being my husband, for being the father to our children, for being so supportive through everything.
Toby: Well, I should give you this in return.
Me and Spencer smile again and I re-smack our lips together.
Spencer: Do you know how much I love?
Toby: Yes, and I love you more.
Spencer: Not possible.
Me and Spencer kiss again and then Isabella comes down.
Isabella: Momma, I couldn't sleep.
Spencer: Oh, come here.
Isabella sits with us. We hold her close until she falls asleep. Then I carry her upstairs. I return to Spencer and pick her up bridal style.
Spencer: Take me to a place, somewhere special.
Toby: Your wish is my command.
We get into the bedroom and I pop Spencer down. We get into our pyjamas after having showers, Spencer having a bath and then fall asleep. I wake up the next day, check on my daughter (who is staying home) and do my morning routine. I'm driving to work, when I get a call from my old friend 'Wayne'.
Wayne: Hey Toby, how ya doing?
Toby: I'm good, how are you?
Wayne: Yeah, I'm good thanks. So, I'm calling you because, I'm getting married and I want to go to Ibiza for my bachelor party.
Toby: Congratulations, but when would this be?
Wayne: In three weeks.
Toby: Ok, what day?
Wayne: Thursday.
Spencer's POV:
I wake up, knowing that Toby isn't there, but Isabella is. I turn on my side which I would normally do to fact Toby, but Isabella has taken his spot. Her dark brown eyes stare into mine. I smile at her and then she smiles back.
Spencer: Morning sweetheart.
Isabella: Morning mommy.
Spencer: How you feeling?
Isabella: My tummy still hurts.
Spencer: Ok. When we go downstairs, you can have some more medicine.
Isabella: Ok.
I get up and take my daughter downstairs. I sit her in the couch and get us a glass of orange juice each. I give her the medicine and we watch t.v.
Isabella: What time is daddy coming home?
Spencer: Daddy is coming home on his break to pick me up and he's going to take me to the hospital for my shoulder, then he's going to go back to work for a bit and we are gonna sit with Mason.
Isabella: Ok.
Spencer: Right, let's go and get dressed, you need a bath first though.
We finish our juice and then I follow my daughter upstairs. I finish helping her with a bath and we get dressed. We then sit downstairs in the kitchen and then we decide to make some cakes.
Spencer: I just got a text from auntie Aria. She's coming over.
Isabella: Why?
Spencer: Not sure.
Isabella: Can we save a cake for her, and one for her baby?
Spencer: I think we should save one just for her. Remember, her baby isn't gonna be born for a few months yet.
Isabella: Oh. Momma, can I watch Jessie?
Aria's POV:
I arrive at Spencer's house. I knock on the door and as soon as I enter the house, I can smell the scent of freshly baked cakes.
Spencer: Hey.
Aria: Hey.
I sit out the couch with Isabella, then Spencer joins us.
Spencer: So what brings you to our humble home?
I roll my eyes.
Aria: Oh I don't know. I had the day off and was really bored.
Spencer: Isabella, could you go and play upstairs please?
Isabella: Ok.
Isabella scurries off.
Spencer: So, how's the little one doing?
Aria: Good. My morning sickness hadn't been too bad, but there has been so much kicking.
Spencer: I was like that with Mason.
Aria: Have you got any pain killers? I've got the worst headache.
Spencer: I think is till have some from when I was pregnant with Isabella, that are still in date.
Aria: What? Even after five years?
Spencer: Shit, I don't. Sorry.
Aria: It's fine. I think the baby's laying funny, it's really hurting at the moment.
Spencer: Let's see.
I lift my shirt and Spencer can see the baby's head which is poking my side. I put my shirt back down.
Spencer: It doesn't look bad, but really, how painful is it? On a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being the worst.
Spencer's POV:
Aria: About 4 maybe 5.
Spencer: See how you go, if it gets any worse, you may need to go to the doctor.
Aria: Ok.
Spencer: How is Ezra?
Aria: Oh, he's fine.
Spencer: Just fine?
Aria: Ok, he's been great, so supportive, always holding my hair back when I'm being sick. Those kind of little things.
Spencer: Toby was always like that.
Aria: Hmmm. Ow, the baby's moving, really weirdly. It hurts so bad.
Spencer: I don't think there's much that the doctor would do, you just have to let the baby move naturally.
Aria: I'm gonna go home, the pain is to bad.
Spencer: I don't think you should drive if your in pain. Toby's picking me up on his break to take me for physical therapy. He can drop you home, and Ezra can come and get your car later.
Aria: Ok.
Spencer: Here, I'll get you a hot water bottle.
Aria: Thanks.
I make up a hot water bottle for Aria and then Isabella comes back down and sits in between the two of us.
Isabella: Can I feel your baby Auntie Aria?
Aria: Of course, you might not be able to feel it kick or move though.
Isabella places her hand in my bear stomach. She smiles, when we bother feel a small wriggle.
Aria: What did it feel like?
