Chapter 25:
Spencer's POV:
After the shock of realising that I could be pregnant, I went back to bed as usual. I woke up at about 6:30 and couldn't get back to sleep. I'm lying awake, with Toby next to me.
Spencer: Morning.
Toby: Morning.
I roll onto my side to face Toby.
Spencer: Look, about last night-
Toby cuts me off.
Toby: Last night. Our worlds changed forever. I mean, you could be carrying our third child.
Spencer: Are you happy or angry?
Toby: Why would I be angry?
Toby quickly puts his palm on my flat stomach and then I put my hand on his.
Spencer: Do you think we are even ready for another baby?
Toby: I don't know, I mean, it's happening.
Spencer: Hmm. Wait…
I run to the bathroom and start throwing up. Toby follows me and holds my hair back. Once I'm done. I stand up, wipe my mouth and then Toby hugs me to his chest. I start to cry again.
Toby: Hey, what's wrong?
Spencer: The thing is, I know this is gonna sound bad, but I don't want another baby!
Toby: Why?
Spencer: I don't know, I just don't want one.
Toby: Maybe it will change you mind.
Spencer: YOUR NOT LISTENING!
I push away from my husband.
Toby's POV:
Spencer: It may be our child, but it is my body!
Toby: So what your saying is we should just get rid of it?
Spencer: No, I'm just not ready for another baby.
Toby: So what do you suggest?
Spencer: Well if it turns out that am actually pregnant, then we will have to keep it.
Toby: I can't listen to this!
I storm out the bathroom and slam the door, making Spencer jump. Minutes later, I find her trying to turn me around as I'm walking.
Spencer: Toby. Toby. Toby, listen to me!
I turn around to her, but don't look at her face.
Spencer: Look at me!
I look at her.
Spencer: There is a baby inside of me. My baby, our baby.
She grabs my hand and put it on her stomach again.
Toby: Spencer.
Spencer: I can't be selfish and get rid of this baby. We made this and we are not going to waste it.
Toby: Ok.
Spencer: Ok.
I hug Spencer. A few hours later, we drop the kids off at school together and then she drives me to work. After work, she picks me up again and we go to the doctors clinic. Aria has got the kids. Now we are in the small room, waiting to see our baby.
Doctor: So, let's have a look at your baby.
The doctor squirts the gel on and moves the ultrasound. She moves it for about 5 minutes before looking concernd.
Spencer's POV:
I lay in the bed as the doctor searches more and more.
Doctor: Excuse me for a minute.
The doctor leaves and then returns shortly after.
Doctor: Um, well. You have twins.
Toby almost chokes on the air he is breathing.
Toby: Did you say twins?
Doctor: Yeah.
Spencer: Oh my god. Can I ask, how far along am i?
Doctor: About 2 weeks.
Spencer: Oh.
We leave the clinic and drive to get the kids. Now we are at home.
Toby: Kids, could you come in here please?
The kids come in and sit in the couch.
Toby: Your mother has so,etching to tell you.
Isabella: What?
Spencer: We are gonna have another baby!
Mason: Wait, what?
Spencer: Actually two, it's twins.
Isabella: Leaping lizards!
Toby: We have a little Annie fan in the house!
We chuckle.
Spencer: Are you excited?
Mason: Yes!
Toby's POV:
It's been a almost a week since we found out about the twins. Spencer has a tincy wincy bump, but it's there.
Spencer: Toby, could you come here please?
I walk into the hallway, where I find the ladder, leading into the attic. I wanted to get the kids baby books out.
Spencer goes to step down on the ladder. But misses her step and falls. I drop my phone and like a flash of lightning, I'm catching my wife in my arms.
Spencer: Thanks.
Toby: Be careful. Next time you never know what could happen.
Spencer: I will.
I help Spencer up and then I get the box of the kids baby books and stuff down from the attic.
Toby: Before I go to work, are you sure your ok?
Spencer: Yes. Here's your phone.
Spencer hands me my cracked phone. It isn't that bad, but it's still cracked.
Toby: Right, I'm going to work, doctors after and then I'm coming home. Are you ok to pick up the kids from school?
Spencer: Yes, Georgia is coming round for dinner tonight.
Toby: Ok.
I kiss Spencer goodbye then head off for my last day at work. The kids time table changed and all schools are breaking up early. I get off work and head to the doctors. When I get home, I notice that Georgia is already here. When I walk into the kitchen, I'm greeted by my wife.
Spencer: Hey.
Toby: Hey.
Spencer: What did the doctor say?
Toby: He said I'll be fine, and if there are any problems, just ring him.
Spencer's POV:
Georgia has now gone back to my parents house. At the moment, I'm laying in bed.
Spencer: You excited for Australia?
Toby: Yeah. Im sure our four kids will as well.
Spencer: The twins won't know, silly.
Toby: I'm just kidding.
Spencer: Whatever, night. I love you.
Toby: I love you to.
Toby switches off his lamp and then turns on his side and puts his arm over me. I wake up the next day by running to the bathroom and throwing up. Once I'm done, I return to bed and a few minutes later Toby wakes up.
Toby: Hey, how did you sleep?
Spencer: Not good. I woke up about 5 times to throw up.
Toby: Oh come here.
Toby hugs me as we sit up in bed. Not long after, we get out of bed, have a shower and then eat breakfast with the kids.
Isabella: Mom, when are we going on holiday?
Spencer: In 3 days.
Toby: Wait, you changed our flight?
Spencer: I'm sorry, are you mad?
Toby: Mad? Of course! I had plans to go and see Wayne in L.A!
Spencer: I'm sorry, I wanted to surprise you!
Toby: You should have asked me about changing our flight date! I haven't seen Wayne since the siege! Out of all the stupid things you could have done, this had to be it!
Spencer: I'm sorry ok, I can change it back!
Toby: No, the damage is done! And it will be too expensive.
