NO ONES POV:

"So Ar how was your hot date with Jason?" Hanna was teasing Aria as they walked up Spencer's driveway for a study session… AKA put textbooks in their laps and watch The Big Bang Theory (®) and eat Crème Brule Haagen-Dazs Ice Cream (TRY IT BECAUSE IF YOU HAVENT HAD IT YOU HAVENT LIVED).

"It wasn't a REAL date Han! We just hung out and got lunch. It was nice to reconnect. We are just two friends catching up." Aria averted her eyes and grinned at the ground. Her latest fashion statement was a necklace made out of forks and they clinked every time she moved her neck. "Besides, I'm still getting over Ezr-"

"UGH WE KNOW! You are still getting over the hotsy totsy English teacher ex! He was no fun, you couldn't even go on a double date!" Hanna snorted and shook her head wondering how Aria and Ezra had survived, when she herself loved nothing more than to show off Caleb every chance she got.

Emily and Spencer had dragged behind and observed the interaction between the blond and her tiny friend.

"Remind me how we got stuck carrying all of the stuff?" Emily groaned and switched the Chinese take out bag to her left shoulder.

"I don't care how it happened I just don't want a repeat of what happened last time we got Hanna to carry the food!" Spencer laughed remembering how the blond had shaken all of their sodas, and when they opened them the sticky liquid had sprayed everywhere.

They both chuckled as Hanna spun around impatiently at the top of the driveway.

"WHATS THE HOLD UP DOWN THERE GUYS? SPENCE IS PREGGO BUT YOU AINT GOT NO EXCUSE EMS! LETS PICK UP THE PACE!" Hanna yelled at them even though they were a mere 15 ft away.

"WELL MAYBE WE COULD MOVE FASTER IF YOU CAME BACK HERE AND TOOK SOME BAGS BARBIE!" Emily screamed back.

"Well there's no need to shout!" Hanna muttered and speed walked back to grab some bags while Aria, following closely behind chuckled at what she liked to call "The Antics of Hannily".

When they walked through the back door, they saw Melissa sitting in the living room wearing a stiff and crisp pantsuit while casually reading the latest copy of TIME magazine and drinking a cup of Earl Grey. Spencer resisted the urge to roll her eyes. Tea? And the pantsuit? Really? Melissa could be such a mommy clone sometimes.

"Hey Mel!" Spencer approached carefully, "How are you doing?"

She looked up and smiled "I'm actually pretty great, I was just reading but I can leave now if you guys want to hang here."

"Oh you don't have to -" Spencer started to say but Hanna butted in and said "Yup thanks bye!"

"Hanna!" The girls cried exasperated as Melissa smiled and walked out to the barn.

"WHAT? She was taking to long and I need my Chicken Lo Mein!"

***(LINE BRAK)***

SPENCERS POV:

At around 10 A.M. the next day, Spencer was adjusting her blazer over her white blouse when the doorbell rang. She frowned and glanced at her watch, she had her first ultra sound today and wanted to get there early.

"MELISSA CAN YOU GET IT?" She screamed downstairs

"I'M EATING BREAKFAST! YOU REALLY WANT ME TO ANSWER THE DOOR WHILE MY BLOOD SUGAR IS THIS LOW?" Melissa screeched back.

She had a point; everyone knew how bitchy Melissa could be when her blood sugar was low. She never saw one of Melissa's famous rages in person, but people who had went to school with her still referred to an event called "The Temper tantrum" and she assumed that was NOT a good day to be near Melissa.

Sighing, she set down her hairbrush, grabbed her bag and stomped down stairs.

"Hi, I'm sorry but I am really busy right now and my parents aren't home so – OH Toby hi." Spencer choked mid sentence after realizing who was at the door.

"Um hi." Toby swayed back and forth slightly and bit his lip. GOD she loved it when he did that, and whenever he got that uncertain and adorable look in his beautiful Caribbean blue eyes… SNAP OUT OF IT SPENCER!

She pinched her elbow and took a deep breath. "What are YOU doing here?" She asked. Even after she said it she knew it sounded harsh. She mentally slapped herself for sounding so bitchy. Toby himself winced and looked like he had punched. Not that it would hurt him, his whole body is rock hard. Especially his abs… oh Toby's abs are the best… SNAP OUT OF IT!

By now she had slapped herself silly in her mind and was chastising herself for thinking like Hanna when Toby cleared his throat.

"I'm actually here because your parents called and told me that you had your first ultrasound today and I wanted to go with you. That is if you will let me of course." He smiled hesitantly and he looked so vulnerable that she was tempted to give him a hug, but she pulled back.

NO TOBY JOINED THE A TEAM! YOU CAN'T FORGIVE THAT! On the other hand he did do it to protect me… and I miss him. It is HIS kid too I guess.

Toby must have been watching her face because when he noticed her expressions shifting he backed away a little bit.

"I understand if and why you don't want me there Spence, but I want to be there for you." Toby reached out and placed a hand on her arm. "I want to be there for both of you!"

"And what if I want an abortion! Huh? What then Toby!?" She snapped at him. She knew it was mean but she felt angry. She was angry because he made her feel confused and she didn't like that feeling one bit. It was almost as bad as the pity stares she had gotten in the supermarket when she had went with her mom the other day.

"YOU WOULDN'T!" Toby looked appalled "I know you Spencer and you would never take an innocent life!" he know me? That's a joke! Where was he when I needed him most!

"HOW DO YOU KNOW HUH? YOU'VE BEEN GONE A WHILE! MAYBE I HAVE CHANGED! WHERE WERE YOU TOBY? HUH? THIS BABY IS GETTING IN MY WAY! EVERYONE IS TREATING ME LIKE BROKEN GLASS AND I DON'T LIKE THAT! I NEED TO PROTECT MYSELF AND MY FRIENDS AND IF THE A TEAM IS THE WAY TO DO IT IM GONNA JOIN AND YOU DON'T REALLY HAVE A SAY IN THAT!" She screamed at the top of her lungs and she could already feel tears streaming down her face. She didn't know where her rant had come from, but she felt angry and betrayed.

"I think I should go then." Toby looked away but not before she heard him sniffle.

As she watched him retreat towards his truck she felt a wave of guilt.

"WAIT TOBY DON'T GO!" She tried to get his attention but he just gunned the engine and peeled away.

She choked a sob back and checked her watch. Great, no not only would she be late, but she couldn't show up looking like this! She went to her email and sent to messages, one canceling her appointment, and the other, to someone whom she knew she would regret seeing, but she did k now they knew her well, almost as well as Toby, and would help her get her strength back.

SNEAK PEAK YALL:

"I SHOULDN'T BE HERE BUT I COULDN'T STAY AWAY ANY LONGER." SHE SAID, REACHING OUT TENTITIVALEY WITH HER HAND AND PLACING IT ON HIS SHOULDER.

"ITS OKAY, I MISS YOU, ARE YOUR PARENTS AND EVERYONE ELSE STILL GIVING YOU A HARD TIME?"

"YAH, THANKS FOR DOING THIS Andrew." HE SMIRKED AT THE BRUNETTE AND PLACED A PASSIONATE KISS ON HER LIPS THAT TOOK HER BREATHE AWAY.

"YOUR WELCOME, SPENCER."
