Emily is the only one whose perspective I really haven't used in this story as far as the liars go and I thought it was about time to give her and Hanna a little more screan time in the story. I thought It would be nice to show how Spencer's pregnancy affects Emily.
Emily's POV
I walked into the kitchen gymn bag slung over my shoulder thinking about what I'd wear for my date with Samara tonight. I was excited about it I was going to take her into Philly for dinner, and I was going to surprise her with a fashion show by some new upcomming unknown designer she had been talking about for the last month. I saw my mom sitting at the kitchen table looking through my baby books.
"Everything okay mom?" I asked, she looked up at me smiling sweetly. She pated the chair next to her,
She was looking at a picture of my dad holding me while they were still in the hospital after I was born.
"I'm okay, just thinking." She said I laughed and teased her,
"I'm hoping your not thinking I need a little brother or sister." My mom laughed shaking her head no,
"No, of course not Emily. I don't want to go through child birth again. You know I love you and I love Samara and I wouldnt want you to be any other way then you are. But I guess I'm feeling a little jealous of Veronica." She laughed, "It's silly and petty. But I'm jealous." I looked at her,
"Why are you jealous mom?" She smiled at me, looking down at the book,
"Cause she has two grandkids on the way. And I know that I'll have them someday when your ready. But I feel like I'm missing out of things." I laughed,
"Like what?" I asked curiously she laughed sounding like she knew she was silly, she smiled at me.
"Like taking you shopping for maternity wear." I smiled and laughed
"Mom this is the modern age. When I have kids, I'll have my options. I can have a surrogate father for mine and if we're still together Samara's kids." I smiled, "We can adopt if we can't get pregnant or find a donner, but thats not the point. The point is that I have options. I don't have to give anything up just cause I like girls."
"I'm glad you're with Samara. She's sweet." I nodded,
"Yes she is. And I think I could see myself with her twenty years down the road fifty years down the road. I really love her." My mom smiled at me,
"I'm glad I like her too. Emily, this is a weird question. But are you two having sex?" I laughed grabbing a cookie off the plate of them in front of my mom,
"No, we're not. We are waiting for the right time. I mean I love her, but I want this to last. And she wants this to last. So if this does last we're gonna have the rest of our lives for that." I smiled at Emily,
"I'm glad your responsible. And I'm glad that I don't have to worry about becoming an accidental grandma." I laughed,
"One of the perks of my sexual orrientation. I'm glad I won't be an accidental mom either." My mom smiled at me, "I should go get ready for my date with Samara." I said standing up,
"You should wear that black dress we got you for homecoming your sophomore year. The one with a really flirty skirt." I smiled at her,
"Mom, I've grown like five inches since we bought that dress." She winked at me over her coffee cup.
"I know." She said taking a drink. I smiled grabbing my bag walking up to my bathroom to shower and get ready.
Spencer's POV
I sat at my desk in the barn doing math homework. It was hard to focus on my homework with Bently moving in me and Toby snoring on the bed napping before his second job on the day. I rolled my head. I couldn't wait for Hanna to get here with food. I could use a distraction from homework. I could use a distraction from worrying and stress. I heard a knock on the barn door and looked over and saw Hanna standing there I smiled standing myself up and waddling over to the door opening it. I held my index finger up to my lips indicating her need to be queit before pointing over at Toby.
"He only has a few minutes before he has to get up to go to work at Jason's I really want him to get as much sleep as possible." I whispered rubbing my belly she smiled,
"I understand. Is Bently moving?" She asked I nodded,
"Hasn't stopped all day." I stated rubbing my belly trying to get Bently to be calm. Hanna gave me a half smile,
"Can I feel it?" She asked shyly. I nodded smiling grabbing her free hand putting them on my belly where i could feel Bently moving around. She smiled, "Wow, that is intense. So I didnt know what Bently wanted so I got one of everything." I smiled,
"That explains all the food. Bently doesnt know what he wants yet by the way." Hanna smiled at me and I returned it. It's nice that my friends don't treat me any different now that I'm pregnant. I looked over at Toby who was still asleep. He shifted in his sleep onto his side. I felt my heart drop him working all these hours had really taken a toll on him. we works two jobs every day and works on his days off in Yardley for Jason all day unless I have an appointment. Toby's alarm went off I watched him roll over groaning to grab his work boots. I felt my heart break. Bently and I are the ones wearing him out so much. He stood up grabbing his tool belt yawning shaking his head.
"I'll see you at eleven at the latest." He mumbled tired. I nodded, kissing his lips. It's harder to do now with this big belly between us.
"Okay, I love you." He smiled at me tiredly, "Hanna's gonna have supper with me then we're gonna study together."
"I love you too." Hanna pipped up.
"I've got more than enough Chinnese to go around if you want some before you go." Toby smiled,
"No time, I have to get going." He bent down and kissed my belly, "Bye Bently." He stood up and kissed me again, "I love you Spencer, I'll see you when I get home later." I smiled.
"Okay." I whispered sitting down on the bed watching him walk out the door still rubbing my belly. Bently moves the most when he hears Toby's voice and when Toby touches my belly. Hanna flopped down in my desk chair after setting down the chinnese.
"Okay spill what's on your mind?" Hanna stated spinning the chair to look at me. I ran my fingers through my hair.
"I think I'm going to drop out of school. I mean I'll finish eventually get my G.E.D. or something but I feel guilty about how hard Toby's been working to put me through school and pay the bills for my doctor's visit and to put some money in the back before Bentley's born. I feel guilty like I should get a job and help out. I mean, It's not fair of me to make Toby work so hard." I spilled rubbing my hand over my face.
"Spencer, what is wrong with you? Toby is working his butt of for you to get your education. He's got his G.E.D. He's working for you. Do you know the statistics of teen moms who don't finish school and never go back?" I shook my head interupting her,
"Bently's zapped my brain. I know it's a high percentage but I don't remember off the top of my head anymore." Hanna sighed exasperated with me,
"Not the point Spencer. The point is, Toby knows how important your education is to you and to your family. Also the point is that if you drop out now, you'll never go back there will always be some sort of excuse something in the way of you going to school something in the way of you getting your G.E.D. and you are so much better than being a high school drop out with no chance of going any where." I looked over at Hanna,
"But Toby's always so tired," Hanna sighed exasperated,
"That's Toby's choice. Not Spencer forcing Toby to work. He's working so hard because he wants to give you and Bently the best he can and this is the only way he possibly can." I sighed knowing she was right. "Now can we please eat this chinese I'm starving and if I'm starving you must be about ready to mug some one. I mean you must be starving for two." I laughed
"So hungry and Bently and I want orange chicken and chicken fried rice." I laughed as Hanna handed me my food and chop sticks. "Bently definitly eats like his dad all greasy all fatty and all delicious." Hanna laughed,
"You hate all those things." I swallowed a bite of orange chicken.
"Well I'm pregnant, deep fried cake with pickles sounds good." Hanna looked at me,
"You haven't seriously eaten that? Have you?" I shook my head no,
"No I haven't, the weirdest thing I've eaten is a cocoa puff milk shake." Hanna laughed,
"That's disgusting." I smiled,
"Bently and I loved every last drop of it." I smiled at her. "So what homework am I helping you with tonight?" I asked.
"Geometry. and What homework am I watching you do tonight?" She teased I laughed.
"Calc, advanced history, physics, advanced government." Hanna looked at me like I was crazy.
"Girl, if Caleb got me pregnant I would not be taking all these classes. I would be taking every easy class possible." I laughed loving the differences between Hanna and myself.
"What would you have done if it had been you and Caleb to get pregnant and not Toby and me?" I asked taking a heafty bite of chicken fried rice. Hanna looked down at her beef lo mein contemplatingly.
"I'd like to say if we'd have been able to work, but I don't know. I know we'd try to make it work if we had a baby on the way. But with him back and forth from Monteciedo and Rosewood. Plus his mom would not be supportive since she was a teen mom. Just we wouldn't have the support you and Toby have. And I know I wouldn't have finished school. I'd try but I'd probably only make it through high school. I wouldn't make it to college cause Caleb and I would both have to work to take care of a baby." I smiled at Hanna,
"You've thought about this?" I asked her. She nodded slowly,
"Yeah that's why I decided to go on birth control. No judgment on you or Toby you're both going to be great parents; but you guys have risen to the occasion. I don't think I'd be a good mom right now. I know I wouldn't be a good mom right now." She stated, I smiled at Hanna. She was the only one who was honest about what she was feeling. "So have you and Toby decided on whose going to be the god parents yet?" I laughed,
"We were thinking about Emily and Samara. Since you know her and Toby are best friends and we are going to have other kids for me to let you and Aria god parent. It just feels right asking Emily and Samara to be Bently's god mothers." I explained. Hanna laughed,
"No judgment, I'm just throwing this out there though; when it's my turn to be a god mother I want to be godmother to a little girl." I laughed smiling rubbing my belly.
"Alright Toby and I will keep that in mind." Hanna and I both laughed as I rubbed my belly.
