A/N: Okay, so I deffinitely wasn't going to put this in here but haha I got tempted. Anyways, this is sort of a follow up to what happened after the baby was born. I really was going to work this into a whole new story including the Seddie ship but I got lazy and wrote this instead haha. Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

"Hey" Spencer says as he answers the door. A sad smile lingers across his face.

"Hey Spence" Leah replies "Is Noah ready?"

"Yeah, he's just gathering his stuff. He'll be ready in a minute."

"Sorry for being so late. I had to get some stuff done at the office."

"No, its fine. We had some lunch and he helped me work on my sculpture. Tons of fun."

"Okay Daddy, I'm ready!" four year old Noah called out holding his backpack. Spencer went to him and carried him then went back towards the door "Mommy is here!"

"Mommy!"

Leah lit up as she held her arms out having Spencer hand their son over to her "Did you have fun with Daddy?" she asked.

"We made an elephant!" Noah beamed.

Leah just smiled and then looked back at Spencer "So, we're just gonna get going. Bye, Spence. Tell Carly I said hi." She went on her way with Noah in her arms.

Spencer waved and then watched as she left. After that, he closed the door and sat down on the couch and sighed. This was the part he hated the most about his part of Noah's visits. For one, seeing Noah three and a half days out of the week was not enough and second, he was still very much in love with Leah.

What happened, you ask? Well, after Noah's first birthday, Leah decided she needed a break. She told Spencer she wanted to see what her options were and that it didn't mean that she didn't love him. The decision made Spencer's heart fall to his feet but he respected her wishes and let her go. After all, he believed in the old saying that if you really loved someone, you'd have to let them go. And if they came back, it was true love. He did the first part now he wondered how long it would take the second part to happen.

Noah. They had a steady plan on how they would raise him. Mondays, Tuesdays, and Wednesdays would be spent with him. Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays would be spent with Leah and on Sundays, they both spent time with him to show Noah that they didn't hate each other. Which they didn't.

The separation was hard on Spencer. He thought he had found the love of his life in Leah. The thought of seeing her dating other guys was going to kill him. But he figured since she was out there trying to see what the world had to offer besides him, he thought he could get his feet wet in the dating pool once again. And chicks liked guys with kids, right?

Second time out on the dating scene, and Spencer was getting lucky. Girls came by the dozens. Attractive girls. It was unintentional but Noah seemed to be the lucky charm. Whenever Spencer took Noah to the park, he would run into attractive joggers who thought Noah was cute and then strike up conversation with them. The conversations would always end in dinner invitations. Spencer had plenty of fun going on the dates. His dates were always gorgeous, smart, and funny. But at the end of the night, he'd always be left feeling unfulfilled. None of those girls were Leah.

The first time Carly found out that Spencer and Leah had split, she didn't know how to feel. She wanted to hate Leah for ruining her brother' life. But on the other hand, Spencer didn't want Carly to hate Leah because he didn't. Carly was a huge help to Spencer. She helped watch Noah when Spencer went to important business meetings. He made a mental note to someday buy her that pony she always wanted since she was five years old.

One day, Carly was at home doing homework and waiting for Sam to come over. Spencer had gone to the museum that afternoon since it was a Saturday. There was a knock on the door and Carly thought it was Sam but as she answered it, there stood Leah with Noah on hand.

"Hey Carls" she greeted "Is your brother home?"

"He went to the museum, what's going on?"

"Well, I can't watch Noah this week. I'm going away and I know it's a bit early so I was hoping if Noah could start his visit a little early…"

"Of course! Hi Noah!" Carly waved.

"Auntie Carly!" Noah giggled as Leah put him down to run inside the loft and towards his bin of toys near the stairs.

"Thank you so much, Carls. How have you been, by the way?"

"I've been okay. Just trying to study for the SAT right now."

"Awesome! You've always been a smart girl. Should be a piece of cake, right?" the girls laughed and after wards there was a bit of an awkward silence going on. Carly looked at Leah and felt gutsy to ask what she had always wondered since Leah and Spencer broke up.

"Um, Leah, do you mind if I talk to you for a bit?" she asked innocently. "If its okay?"

"Of course it okay."

"Come on, have a seat…" Carly stepped aside as Leah came in and sat on the couch.

Carly joined her on the couch and took a deep breath "I just wanna know…I'm not asking this for Spencer or anything but, um, do you still love him?"

Leah looked at Carly like she was lost and scared. The question had hit her like a ton of bricks "Carly, you know I still love your brother." She weakly smiled like she was hiding something than sighed.

"Is that all?" Carly sensed that she was hiding something else.

Leah sighed once more not being able to keep it in "Carls, I'm still in love with your brother."

"Oh my gosh! But…why are you doing this to him?"

"I don't know…I'm afraid of commitment. And…I thought I could give this a little more time to shake off whatever has been bothering me. I've went on dates. I can't stop thinking about him. Please, don't tell him…"

"Your secret's safe with me" Carly gave her a hug "So do you plan on telling him anytime soon?"

"I thought I could tell him on Noah's fifth birthday…or much sooner…."

"Just do it as soon as possible. When you feel like it…"

Just when Leah was going to say something, Spencer came through the door surprised to see Leah "Leah! Hi, what are you doing here?"

Leah stood up "I just came to drop Noah off early…"

"Daddy!!" Noah ran to Spencer as he picked him up "Daddy, where did you go?"

"Went to the museum, little guy!" he smiled at Noah then looked at Leah "Why don't you stay for dinner?"

"I'd love to but I've gotta pack for my business trip. But I'll be back on Thursday." She turned to Carly and hugged her "It was wonderful talking to you, hon. Take care" she then made her way to Spencer and Noah "Bye, honey!" she kissed Noah on the cheek and then faced Spencer almost semi awkwardly thinking about that talk she had with Carly "Bye" she simply said.

"Have fun on your trip" Spencer replied feeling the semi awkwardness. He watched her leave and then went to go make dinner.

The next day as Carly woke up, she found Spencer wide awake checking himself in the mirror "Hey, we going out for breakfast or something?" she asked.

"Nope. Well, I am. BUT I already made some and its still hot, kiddo." He replied.

"Wait, who are you going out to breakfast with?" Carly made her way towards the kitchen.

"I got a text from Leah asking to meet her at the airport terminal this morning for breakfast." Spencer fixed the collar on his button down shirt, grabbed his keys, and then walked to Carly "Alright, I'll be back in a jiffy. Noah's asleep but make sure he gets cleaned up before breakfast, okay?"

"No problem!" Carly smiled.

"Later, kiddo" Spencer kissed Carly's forehead and then headed for the door.

"Hey, Spence?"

"Yes?" Spencer was mid way out the door.

"Don't get too excited that you start doing cartwheels, okay?"

Spencer was confused "Uh…oookay. Later!" he was out the door.

Carly waved and then smiled knowing exactly what Leah wanted to talk to him about.

FIN.
