Toby's POV
*Wednesday August 9th*
Today is Rochelle's 1st birthday. We were having a birthday party for her at Emily and Alison's house tonight. Tonight was just going to be between with our friends. Spencer and I invited my dad and her parents over to the apartment this weekend for dinner. So far only my dad decided he was coming. Spencer's parents didn't seem interested in coming over for dinner. I thought at least Spencer's mom would accept the dinner invitation.
Before tonight I had to get through a shift at Rosewood PD. Spencer was home with Rochelle and JT. Spencer seems stressed handing both kids. I keep telling her to ask Emily or Alison to help her she doesn't listen to me.
"Cavanaugh, I have a case for you and your partner to handle." Tanner said
"Both of us, are you sure because I can probably work better without her around me." I said
"I heard that." Yvonne said as she walked into Tanner's office.
"I didn't mean any harm Yvonne. I'm married and Spencers been jelous of you before. I don't want to go back to fighting with her over you." I said
"This case involves a teenage runaway from France. She has just been found in Rosewood community Hospital. This girl was pregnant and ran away from home. She just had twins in the hospital. The problem is that she isn't a US citizen but the twins are because they were born here." Tanner said
"How is that Rosewood PD's problem?" Yvonne asked
"The teenager is going to be deported back to France within the next few days. The FBI is going to handle that but they may still want someone from Rosewood PD is be present." Tanner said
"What about the babies?" I asked
"They were born in the USA so they are lawfully US citizen's. Rosewood community asked us to help then find a home for the babies." Tanner said
I drove the police car with Yvonne in the front passenger seat. Rosewood Community Hospital was less then 15 minutes from Rosewood PD. We talked to a nurse in the newborn center of the hospital.
"I was hopping Tanner would send you two." She said
"Why?" Yvonne asked
"Both of you are the two best officers on Rosewood PD." She said
"So what exactly is our job?" I asked
"The FBI wants Rosewood PD to question the teenager about why she left France and anything else the FBI needs to know. They already tracked down her parents who gave there side of the story. Apparently they kicked her out of the house because she was pregnant at 16. The FBI thinks she might be connected to recent thefts at grocery and convenience stores both in France and this area of the United States." She said
"How long can the babies stay in the hospital?" Yvonne asked
"I wish I could say until they were adopted but if they don't find at least a foster home in the next week or two the babies will end up in a group home for kids without parents." She said
"I think I know 2 people that would adopt them." I said
"Who? Don't say me because I still live at home with my parents." Yvonne asked
"Two friends of Spencer and I." I said
"I'm surprised you are not considering adopting them yourself." Yvonne said
"Spencer and I already have a son and a daughter. Spencer already has enough to handle with 1 year old Rochelle and and 2.5 month old JT." I said
Yvonne and I questioned the teenage runaway. She told us that she has grown up poor her entire life. She even said she spent part of her childhood homeless. Then finally things were going right for her. Her parents got jobs and they were finally able to afford a small house. On her 16th birthday her best friends older brother took got her drunk and had sex with her even though she didn't want any of it. She ended up pregnant because of the friends brother. She considered abortion but there are not any free woman's clinics were she lives and neither her or her parents had medical insurance. After her parents found out they packed up a suitcase and told her to leave if she wanted to continue with the pregnancy.
I felt bad for the teenager girl but there wasn't anything I could do to keep her from being sent back to France.
"Can you promise me that my babies will go to a safe and loving home?" She asked
"Yes, of course. I have 2 little ones myself and I would never let anything bad happen to them." I said
"You look like you are only a few years out of high school." She said
"I'm 21. I got married at 19 and we had our first kid 1 year later." I said
"I really want both the baby girl and the baby boy to be adopted together." She said
"I promise you no matter what happens both babies will grow up together." I said
"I really wish you could adopt them because you seem like you would be the best dad in the world." She said
"Look, Just because I am unable to adopt them that doesn't mean I'm not going to be in their lifes. My wife and I happen to know 2 friends that have been thinking about adoption." I said
"You do?" She asked
"Yes and I will be sure to talk to both of them as soon as I am off of work." I said
Before leaving the hospital I went to see the newborns again. Yvonne didn't seem interested so she waited for me in the police car.
Yvonne and I went to get some lunch at the Brew. Aria was giving me this weird look when she saw me with Yvonne.
"Is that an ex of yours?" Yvonne asked
"No, That's Aria Montgomery. She is one of Spencer's best friends. Aria lived with Spencer and I for about a year." I said
Aria took our food and drink order. After eating she brought us the bill.
"I will be right back. I must have left my wallet in the police car." I told Yvonne.
"This isn't a date Cavanaugh so why don't you let me pay." Yvonne said
Yvonne checked her purse but she didn't have enough cash and her debit card was declined.
"Don't worry about the other $10 Toby. I have it covered." Aria said
"Are you sure Aria because I wouldn't want you to get in trouble with your boss for this?" I asked
"Don't worry about it. Your a friend Toby and I'm sure Ezra will understand." Aria said
Yvonne and I walked out of the Brew.
"So your friend Aria calls her boss by his first name." Yvonne said
"Yes, they were once boyfriend and girlfriend a few years back but things didn't work out." I said
"I bet If she continues working with him it's only going to be a matter of time before they get back together." Yvonne said
I went back to the police station for the next few hours. I was actually happy to be finishing my shift with paperwork because I could be alone and not working on a case with Yvonne.
After work I texted Spencer to meet me with the kids at Emily and Alison's house tonight. I made her think I was working a few extra hours but really I just wanted to go talk with Emily and Alison about adopting.
"Hi officer Cavanaugh." Alison said when she opened the door.
"Hi Alison. Is Emily home?" I asked
"No, She went to help Spencer about 2 hours ago." Alison said
"Is everything alright with Spencer?" I asked
"Spencer called Emily and she was crying over the phone about how she was having trouble handling both kids alone." Alison said
"Spencer has been extra stressed these past few months. I think she is having first time mom breakdown even though We already had a kid before JT was born." I said
"You might want to be around more to help Spencer out with the kids then." Alison said
"I try my best. I have a job and it's very demanding but also very important to Rosewood." I said
"What did you come over here for anyway when you should have just gone home to your wife and kids?" Alison asked
"I found 2 babies for you and Emily to adopt." I said
"Wait Cavanaugh, Emily and I only said we wanted to adopt in our future together like after college and after Emily has a few more years competing in swimming. What made you think we wanted to adopt now?" Alison asked
"There are two babies that are in need of a home asap. If you and Emily don't want to adopt then at least foster the babies until they find the perfect home." I said
"Fine Cavanugh, whatever you say goes since you are the one in the Rosewood PD uniform." Alison said
"Alison, I'm not currently on duty so you really don't have to call me officer Cavanaugh." I said
"It turns out Toby that I like calling you officer Cavanaugh. You should be happy that I gave you a good nickname." Alison said
It wasn't long before Spencer and everyone else showed up to Emily and Alison's house. Everyone was there including Hanna, Caleb, and baby Deylia as well as Jason and his 2 year old twin girls. I got a moment to talk with Emily because I think she will be more willing to adopt the twins then Alison seemed.
"Emily, I talked to Alison earlier and I told her about newborn twins that needed a home." I said
"You want us to adopt them?" Emily asked
"Yes, if that's what you want or you can just foster them until they find a home." I said
"Toby this is amazing. I really want to adopt these twins." Emily said
"That's great except Alison didn't seem that interested so you are going to have to convince her." I said
"I can do that." Emily said
"Thanks for helping Spencer out this afternoon." I said
"No problem, I understand that you got a few extra hours at work but Spencer really want your help with Rochelle and JT." Emily said
"Actually I wasn't working overtime. I was here talking to Alison about the twins who needed a home." I said
Of course Spencer had to hear me.
"You lied to me Toby." Spencer Yelled
"I didn't lie Spence, I just didn't tell you what I was doing and you assumed I was working a few extra hours." I Yelled
"Whatever you really did after you got off work I'm just glad it wasn't with Yvonne." Spencer Yelled
"Spence, You really need to stop that Jealous act when you know nothing is going on between Yvonne and I." I Yelled
"If nothing's going on then how come Aria said she saw you and her at the Brew today flirting with each other." Spencer Yelled
"Yvonne and I were just eating lunch together. Relax Spence it wasn't a date. You know I would never cheat on you." I Yelled
"If it wasn't a date then who payed because if you payed for her then Yvonne is going to think it was a date Toby." Spencer Yelled
"Yvonne payed for her lunch and I still owe Aria $10 back for my lunch." I Yelled
"Why did Aria pay for your lunch Toby?" Spencer Yelled
"I left my wallet in the police car and Aria said not to worry about it but I wouldn't be a good friend if I didn't pay her back." I Yelled
"I'm done with this fight Toby." Spencer yelled
After Spencer and I were done with the conversation or argument, whatever that was I decided to give Aria the money that she should of had earlier.
"I heard you and Spence fighting, Is everything ok?" Aria asked
"It will be by later tonight. I will fix things with Spencer as soon as we get back to the apartment." I said
"Let Spencer be jelous over Yvonne. It's not going to be long before Spencer realizes nothing is going on between you two." Aria said
"Before I forget Aria, I wanted to give you the $10 I owe you." I said
"Thank you Toby. Your right Ezra was pretty mad at me when he found out I let you leave the Brew without paying." Aria said
Spencer and I went home to the apartment a short time later. Rochelle was tired so she fell asleep easy. JT took a little more time but he is unlikely to sleep through the night so Spencer and I have to take all the time we can get. I thought Spencer was going to say no to sex like she has before when she was upset but tonight she didn't. I hope that means Spencer forgives me.
Thoughts on this chapter?
Next chapter is going to be September. Maybe more of Aria and Ezra working together but other then that I'm not sure what's in the next chapter yet.
