Spencer enjoyed spending time with her parents as they played with the baby. It seemed as if Toby and her parents were whispering about something but she didn't think to ask. The only things that darkened the time was knowing they were meeting Caleb and Hanna afterward and her mother hinting wedding type things at her. She would say things like "you'll make such a beautiful bride" or show her a picture in Better Homes and Gardens and say "wouldn't you love to get married in a place like this?" She seriously hoped that her parents and Toby weren't planning a big proposal. They finally left when Amelia was all tuckered out. Her parents reminded her once again that they were always free to baby sit. It surprised Spencer how easily they were fitting into their new roles as grandparents. She felt bad now that she had kept them from Amelia for as long as she had. She had apologized and they had told her it was okay. Now their little family was going to meet Hanna and Caleb. Toby and Spencer got there first so they got a table. Toby couldn't believe they were there at all but it was Spencer's decision.
"Hey guys" Hanna said quietly.
"Hey" they both replied at the same time. Caleb was standing behind her looking very shy.
"Hi Spencer, Toby, I'm glad you brought Amelia, would it be alright if I held her.
"Yes" Spencer said cautiously. He picked her up out of her carrier and kissed her and held her.
"She's beautiful" he said. Toby was irritated by this but he said nothing.
After a few minutes Caleb put Amelia down.
"I wanted to apologize for my behavior the other day. It was completely unacceptable and I'm not only sorry I'm ashamed." Caleb said. Hanna nodded along as if it was a prepared speech.
"I want you both to know that I am seeing a therapist to deal with my issues and I'm sorry that I didn't realize that I needed to do this sooner"
"That's good Caleb" Spencer said coolly. "I'm glad that you are getting help"
"Me too" Toby said curtly.
After the big apology the dinner went on pretty normally. Caleb and Toby were quiet as Hanna and Spencer prattled on to each other and cooed over the baby. They were about to decide on desserts when Spencer realized the baby needed changing. She took Amelia to the restroom and Hanna followed.
"It means a lot to me that you accepted my apology" Caleb said.
"I didn't accept your apology and since you didn't notice neither did Spencer" Toby said angrily. "You let Spencer keep my child from me" he said angrily.
"I told you…" he started.
"You managed to convince her to have sex with you, you could have convinced her to tell me about Amelia." he said angrily. "And then after she got back together with me you tried to rape her. So no I don't forgive you, I didn't even want to come tonight I only did it because Spencer wanted to. I don't trust you and I'm going to make sure that you aren't ever alone with Spencer or Amelia."
It was then that the girls came back to the table. The waitress came over to take the dessert orders.
"I'm not feeling well" Caleb announced as he got up from the table.
"Oh" Hanna said clearly upset she was going to miss dessert.
"No, you stay" Caleb said handing her some money and his keys. "I'll walk back to the apartment."
Hanna glared at Toby knowingly.
"No, I'll come with" she said getting up "see you guys later" she mumbled grouchily.
"What did you say to him?" Spencer asked.
"I told him the truth" Toby said to which Spencer sighed.
"Dammit Toby!" she yelled. "He apologized and was trying to make amends"
"Oh please Hanna practically spoon fed him that whole speech. What were we supposed to hold hands and sing Kumbaya?" he yelled.
Amelia began crying and she realized the whole restaurant was looking at them.
"We'll take our dessert to go" she told the waitress pulling Amelia into her arms. They didn't speak on the way home and Spencer spent an extra-long time putting Amelia to bed.
"If I can forgive him why cant you?" she asked as she got into bed. "He's getting help"
"And I am glad that he is, but I can't trust him right now and I don't think you should either" he said calmly.
Spencer curled up next to him and he put his arm around her. They both knew that the other had a point.
The next morning Toby was making breakfast and Spencer was folding laundry next to Amelia who was in her baby lounger. Her phone rang and she answered it.
"Hi doctor Wade" she said looking at Toby who came over to the couch to hold her hand.
"Yes, I understand, yes ill make an appointment" she replied. "Thank you good bye"
Toby was about to ask what they said when Spencer burst into tears.
"Youre pregnant again?" he guessed.
"No, I'm not" she said wiping the tears away "I know it sounds stupid but I kept thinking I was and I kind of started looking forward to it. You could experience this one, maybe it would be a boy this time." She said shaking her head.
"It just wasn't the right time for us" he said cuddling her. "How about we make a deal, we wait until Amelia is AT LEAST a year old before we start thinking about having another baby."
She nodded.
"OK"
