Toby was cleaning up his house waiting for the arrival of Spencer and Amelia. The doorbell rang and he checked his watch. They were early. He opened the door and was surprised to see Caleb.
"Hey, I got your text" he said when he noted Toby's confused expression.
"Oh come on in" he said
"I wanted to talk about that stunt you pulled the other day" he said.
"I kept telling Spencer that she needed to tell you but she kept refusing."
"So instead of you asking me to come over to your place or something, you chose to make a scene and embarrass not only me and Spencer, but Yvonne, who didn't even have any part in this."
"I was only trying to help" he said "I thought I was doing you a favor"
"Well now I need a favor" he said.
"What kind of favor?" Caleb asked.
"Spencer and I need time to figure this out" he said plainly. "Me, her and the baby"
"So what's the favor?" he asked crossing his arms.
"I want you to stay away from her" he said matching Caleb's stance. "She's off limits"
"That's going to be a problem" Caleb said.
"You've been seeing each other?" he asked, he had pretty much assumed that they were but was hoping he was wrong.
"Not officially" Caleb said. "But I care about them, I love Spencer and Amelia"
"How dare you" he said angrily. "You should have told me the second you found out she was pregnant but no you wormed into her life trying to take over as lover to my girlfriend and daddy to my child."
"Maybe if you'd been more mature, she would have told you the truth." Caleb gritted back.
"I'm asking nicely Caleb" he said sternly "Back off, we need this time."
"Spencer and Amelia live with me" he said with a hint of pleasure.
"Not for long" he growled "get out!"
Caleb left at that.
He waited a while and the doorbell rang. He knew that it was Spencer and Amelia this time.
"Hey" he said with a big smile. Spencer was carrying more things than he was sure that he had ever seen her carry before.
"Here let me help with all of that" he said grabbing bags from her.
"Thanks" she said "I went a little overboard"
"That's fine" he said "I don't mind"
As soon as Spencer sat everything down Toby picked up Amelia.
"I went a little overboard too" he said pointing his head up the stairs. She followed him upstairs. He led her into a room. It had a crib and some dismantled furniture waiting to be put together.
"This will be Amelia's room." He said "I got a crib and a changing table and one of those little baby jumpers, I was thinking I would paint it pink or maybe yellow. I want her to have a room here, I want to spend as much time with her as possible. I know you said you weren't ready to leave her alone with me but I want you to be able to at some point."
"It's beautiful, Toby" she said. "It looks expensive"
"I can afford it now" he said.
"Come on" she said. "Amelia will have plenty of time to use this room" she said giving him a small smile.
They went back downstairs. Spencer pulled out her camera and took some snapshots.
"I'll make sure you get copies of these" she said. She set the camera down. "I brought you copies of other pictures. Pictures you should have, pictures you should be in."
They set Amelia on her baby mat and looked at pictures. There were lots. Living with Aria had guaranteed she had lots of photos. The picture that got to him was a picture of Spencer and Caleb. She looked to be about 8 months pregnant and Caleb's hand was on her stomach. Any person that looked at it would assume Caleb was the father and it sucker punched him in the gut.
"Don't look at that one" he said. "I didn't mean to bring that one"
He handed it back to her.
"Pick up Amelia" she ordered. "We're gonna take some proper pictures, mommy, daddy, and baby"
Toby lifted her up and laid her against his chest Spencer cozied up to him. She held down the button on her phone so that it would take continuous photos. They smiled and laughed as the phone snapped away. Finally she kissed his cheek and he turned his head brushing his lips against hers. They pulled away in shock that they both had just kissed.
"I thought I could make lasagna for you tonight" he said and she nodded in agreement. She started to undo her shirt.
"What are you doing?" he asked with amused curiosity.
"I have to feed Amelia" she said "you don't mind, do you?"
"No, of course not" he said as she continued to undo he shirt and bra. He watched her feed Amelia for a few minutes. Spencer caught toby licking his lips as he watched. It should make her feel weird but it didn't.
"Why don't you go get dinner started" she said.
"Ok" he said and went into the kitchen. After spencer was done feeding Amelia she took her up to Amelia's room. The baby monitor was already set up.
"Amelia is fast asleep in her room" she said entering the kitchen and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind. "It smells good"
"Are you allowed to have wine?" he asked.
"Yes" she said. "I just fed her and I have like four bottles made."
"Ok" he said pouring her a glass. And then one for himself. They ate dinner and Spencer told him stories from her pregnancy and almost every story ended with him saying he wished he could've been there. After they had dinner they sat on the couch with fresh glasses of wine.
"I like being here with you" Spencer said.
"I like you being here with me, you and Amelia" he said. They were cuddled close on the couch until they started kissing.
"We shouldn't do this" spencer mumbled.
"No we shouldn't" he agreed pulling away.
"Oh god!" she cried grabbing his face and smashing their lips together.
She wrapped her arms and legs around him and he carried her upstairs.
"Mmm, Toby" she moaned as they kissed and undressed. They worshipped each other's bodies over and over again. They cried out as they came together for the final time. Spencer and toby fell asleep. She barely registered Amelia crying. When she roused out of her sleep she saw toby holding Amelia feeding her a bottle and it was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen.
The next morning she woke up and was startled with what they had done.
"Oh my god! We were so stupid!" she cried.
"What's the matter?" Toby asked.
"I'm not on birth control Toby! We didn't use condoms, I just had a baby a month ago and I could be pregnant now again!"
"Spencer baby, I need you to calm down, ok, I will go out and buy the biggest box of condoms ok, well use them all the time now" toby said.
"We are not having sex again" she said.
"Spencer" he said "I know how you're feeling but I'm not that young scared kid that runs every time things get difficult anymore" he said. "I can take care of you, and Amelia, and another baby on the highly unlikely event you got pregnant again last night."
"I'm sorry" she said. "I'm a grown woman, and it takes two to tango, I wanted it as much as you did"
"Spencer?" he asked finally "what did last night mean?"
"I don't know Toby" she answered truthfully "it didn't suck"
"Are we back together?" he asked.
"I don't know this is so confusing, we shouldn't have done that last night"
"I wish you would stop saying that" he said sadly.
"You know that, um, I haven't told my parents about Amelia yet, and I was wondering if you would come with me, it's just I think it would go over better if we were there together." she said.
"Of course" he said "as long as your dad doesn't kill me"
She rubbed his shoulder and kissed him.
