Hanna's baby shower is supposed to be tonight but she's about 90% sure Ali forgot to plan it. Either way her plans for today include having some fun with the girls.
By the time nighttime comes around, she's already dressed in a gorgeous maternity dress (almost the only thing that stills fit her) and ready to get to Alison's.
When she gets there, she noticed all the decorations hanging from the ceiling.
"Oh so you didn't forget ha!" She said hugging Alison
"I told you I didn't" she answered
"Congrats Han" Spencer says also hugging the pregnant girl, all her others friends proceed to do the same
"I can't believe you're having a baby, Hanna I'm so happy for you" aria says smiling
"I know I'm so excited"
...
"Hanna sweetie I'm sorry but I gonna go"
"What mom! Its your only daughter's baby shower!"
"Its 11o'clock Hanna and I have that event at the radley tomorrow, I'm sorry honey but I had a great time" Ashley Marin says before hugging Hanna and walking out the door.
"Hey" Spencer said coming up to Hanna
"Hey"
"Funny how your mom already left and mine won't even leave the bar" she said chuckling as both of them look at Mrs Hastings as she drinks up on 4th glass of wine, then both Hanna and Spencer break into laughter
"Oh god, yeah well my mom's got this thing at radley tomorrow"
"Really? What is it?"
"They've been rebuilding the bar for a while now, tomorrow its opening back up"
"Well you can bet my mom's going to that"
"Speak of, I should get her home, sorry I'm gonna have to bail too" Spencer spoke again
"Its alright I'm actually kinda tired anyways and it's depresses me to watch everyone drink" Spencer chuckled before hugging her pregnant friend and walking over to her probably-drunk mother.
...
The next morning
Spencer walked into the radley hotel where she was supposed to have breakfast with Melissa, she was already there but that's not what caught Spencer's eye, it was who was sitting at the table next to her. It was him. It was Toby. Toby Cavanaugh.
"Toby!" She exclaim before even thinking about it, he doesn't say anything, he just looks up at her, and then he realizes that it was her. It was Spencer hastings. THE Spencer Hastings.
"Spence" he said changing his previously tired look to a schoked one "umm hey" he manages to blurt out
"Hi" she answers smiling and blushing
"I haven't seen you in a while" she continued
"Yea, it's been a long time hasn't it" Toby says smiling as he thinks back at all the best moments of his life, most of them included Spencer, but his smile soon fades as soon as he looks at her hand, at her ring, her wedding ring, she's married. Spencer was a bride and it hit Toby like a truck to realize that he was not her groom.
"I didn't know you were married"
"Oh" she said looking down at the ring as if she'd almost forgot it herself "yeah, um do you remember Marco Furey? We eloped a little over a year ago"
"You and Marco?! Wow I really didn't see that coming but at the same time I kinda did" he says chuckling
Spencer laugh a little too "and um what about you? How are you doing?"
"I've actually got some great news, Yvonne and I got divorced a couple months ago and the day before yesterday I lost the custody battle for my 1 year old daughter, I'm homeless and to topic it all off, the hotel I'm staying at doesn't have a bar" he says raising his glass of water
"OMG Toby i don't even know what to say after everything you've just told me! I- I I'm so sorry an- and you have a daughter?! Wow I mean that's a lot of information!" Spencer answered surprised
"Yeah you could say that" Toby says chuckling again "do you wanna sit down?"
"Well I was actually supposed to have lunch with-" Spencer started to say but once she looked up and realize her sister was on the phone, she pulled out her own iPhone "actually, I'd love to, just give me a second" Spencer opens her chat with Melissa and puts the phone down on the table so Toby can see what she's typing
"Sorry can't make it, sad emoji, rain check?" He says quoting what Spencer just sent Melissa, then they both see her pull her phone away from her ear and see Spencer's message, Melissa rolls her eyes and stands up.
Spencer puts her head down to make sure Melissa doesn't see her on her way out, Toby just plays it cool, once her sister has walked out the door, both Spencer and Toby break into laughter.
"Very sisterly of you" he says still laughing
"I know, right?" She answers sarcastically
"Thank you Spence" Toby said after a short comfortable silence
"For what?"
"For hanging out here with your pathetic ex-boyfriend"
"Toby! You're not pathetic! And even if you were I'd still hang out with you" Spencer answers with a smile
"I'm not sure that makes me feel any better but really Spencer thank you for being here"
"You have nothing to thank Me for Tobes"
And they kept talking for hours and they would've keep talking for even more hours if they hadn't run into Hanna's mom.
"Spencer! Toby! I'm so glad you guys are here"
"Hi Mrs Marin"
"How are you?"
"Terrible, actually, I'm so stressed out about the event tonight, I'm so worried its gonna be empty, do you guys have plans tonight? Do you think you can make it?"
"Yes of course" we both answered
"Thank you so much" she said smiling and walking away
"Omg its 3 pm already!" Spencer says after looking down at her watch
"Damn time sure flies when you're in-" Toby started saying but stopped himself, he was gonna say in love, time flies when you're in love but then he realized that even tho he was obviously still in love with Spencer, that didn't mean she was still in love with him.
Despite Toby's best attempts Spencer noticed, she realized what he was going to say and the worse part was that she didn't disagree. Time does fly when you're in love and time just flied right here right now with Toby, that has got to mean something.
But even if it means everything in the world nothing could change one simple fact. She was married. To another guy. They couldn't be in love, no matter how much they were.
An awkward silence followed for a few minutes until they both stood up at the same time, which brought a smile to their mouths
"So the event starts at 6, and I guess I'll be here" Toby said
"Well then I'll get here at 6" she answered
"I'll see you tonight" Spencer said then turned and walked out the main door, Toby stood still until she left and then made his way towards the elevator.
Once inside he murmured to himself "I'll see her tonight" with a smile on his face
