Ok, guys. Sorry about having to wait so long, but I was busy with 4th of July festivities. I went to the beach and so now I am VERY tan :) well, I finally have time to update this, so here is chapter 5. This is the second chapter from Spencer's life.
Spencer
Spencer wished she could've been woken up the way she used to be, before Annie was born, by Toby kissing her cheek and telling her he loved her first thing in the morning. But instead, she was woken up by the mini-her that was her daughter, Annie jumping on her bed yelling, Mommy! Daddy! Get up!"
"I'm up. I'm up." Spencer groaned. She climbed off the bed, picking Annie up and carrying her out of the room. "shhh! Don't wake Daddy up! He's tired." He had, after all, been the one that had gone and stayed with their oldest daughter for half the night because she was having nightmares.
"ok, Mommy!" Annie replied. "can I watch The Backyardigans?"
"sure, An." Spencer said. Of course her three year old knew exactly what time her favorite show was on Friday mornings. Spencer took Annie downstairs, set her on the couch, and then grabbed the remote and changed the channel to Nick Jr., just as she heard Maddie start to cry from her room upstairs.
"and the day begins..." she thought to herself as she climbed the stairs. When she got to the top, she turned to the direction of the baby's room when someone grabbed her from behind. She gasped, but was grinning when she turned around to find out that it was only Toby.
She giggled as he pressed his lips to hers and pushed her up against the wall. "I have to go get Maddie." she said.
"hush, I want some alone time with you." Toby said, smiling. "you know she doesn't wake up until about 8. " It was 7:04am, and sure enough, Maddie stopped after a couple seconds because she had fallen back asleep.
"well, good morning." Spencer said, pulling Toby closer to her. "how come you're awake? I was gonna let you sleep."
"I could just sense you needed my help." Toby replied.
"well, I did need you for this." his wife said, putting her lips back on his. She had her hands up around his neck, and he had one of his behind her head, pulling her closer, and the other rubbing her waist.
"mhmmm... yes, you did." Toby mumbled, his lips traveling down onto Spencer's neck.
And then, the doorbell rang.
"why do our only moments together always get interrupted?" Spencer asked. "I'll go get it. You go get Mads." Spencer retreated back down the stairs, while Toby went to calm his baby daughter, who had woken up because of the doorbell.
Spencer opened the door to find Hanna, grinning, as if it was noon instead of 7:15 in the morning."why are you here so early?" Spencer asked. "You could've at least warned me. I would've gotten up earlier than 10 minutes ago, or at least gotten dressed." she fingered her sweatshirt, which besides shorts, was all she'd worn to bed.
"I didn't want to warn you." Hanna said. "I wanted to surprise you. Caleb had to go to the church to plan for our wedding, so I thought I'd come by before we leave for the Grille." Hanna and Caleb's wedding was planned for July 20th of that year, 2019.
"well, you just interrupted probably the only alone time I'm going to have with Toby all day." Spencer said.
"yes, and you interrupted Caleb and I's kiss last night, so now we're even."Hanna said, smirking.
Spencer was about to say something back, but then Annie came barreling into the room, yelling "Auntie Hanna!"
As Hanna scooped up Annie and gave her a kiss, Toby came down the stairs, carrying a sleepy-eyed 10 month old, who was wearing purple footie pajamas.
"well, good morning to you." he said, shifting the baby from his left hip to his right. "I see you've kidnapped my daughter."
Hanna laughed, and said, "yes, yes I have. In fact, this daughter of yours needs a shower. How about I go get that done?"
"thanks, Han." Spencer said. "that would help a lot."
As Hanna was carrying the little girl up the stairs, Toby went over to his wife and gave her a kiss on the cheek. "I guess it's time I make breakfast?" he asked, handing her little Maddie.
"you guessed right." Spencer said, taking her daughter from him. "and I'm going to go upstairs and get me and this little girl ready for the day."
"sounds good." Toby said, giving Spencer one last peck on the nose before she headed upstairs.
She entered the last room, which happened to be her and Toby's bedroom, and laid the baby down in the middle on the bed, where she couldn't fall she stripped off her shirt, revealing her small, yet noticeable, baby-bump.
"well, Maddie," she said as she searched the closet for a shirt to wear. "before you know it, you're gonna be a big sister."
The baby just gurgled, oblivious to what her mother was saying.
"well, I'm glad I still have some maternity clothes left over from you," Spencer said, pulling on a pair of jeans. "or else we'd have to buy completely new ones."
She went and picked up Madelyn, who was now chewing on her own foot. "come on, now it's time to get you dressed." she said, carrying her daughter out of the room.
After Maddie's diaper had been changed, and she was newly dressed in a jean jumper, pink tights, and black Mary Jane's, Spencer went and knocked on the bathroom door.
"Han?" she asked. "can I come in? I need two hair ties for Mad's hair."
Hanna replied by opening the door, and leading a soaking wet 3 year old, who was wrapped in a towel, out of the bathroom, and down the hall to her bedroom. On the way, Hanna said, "Spence, I really don't see why you're always complaining about how hard this is. It's nowhere near as bad as you make it sound."
"yeah, well you're not hear when Annie's running around the house like a lunatic, and Maddie won't stop crying." Spencer said, grabbing two pink hair ties from the bathroom and putting the baby's hair in pigtails.
She then went downstairs for the third time that day, to find her husband flipping pancakes on the stove while Max was laying on the kitchen floor, chewing on a bone. She went over and gave Toby a kiss on the cheek. "let our Friday begin." she said, smiling.
Thanks for reading! Review :)
