"I'm so nervous!" Spencer breathed out, as she fixed her appearance. Toby was taking her out on their first official date since getting back together. Her parents were very graciously taking Amelia for the night. They had turned one of their guest bedrooms into a nursery almost overnight. This would be the first time Spencer had been away from Amelia since she was born.

"There's nothing to be nervous about" Toby said. "It's only for a night and your parents will be fine."

"She's getting so big!" Spencer said as she dressed Amelia. Toby and Spencer had spent half the day buying new clothes for her since she had outgrown her new born clothes. "Pretty soon she'll be crawling and walking and then going to school and driving and then she'll be going off to college and we'll be all alone." She cried.

"Honey, she's six weeks old, I wouldn't go buying her a car and sending in college applications just yet." Toby joked.

They left and made their way to the Hastings home.

"OK so I packed her three outfits, and there's ten bottles made, because she's been eating more lately and there's like 12 diapers in the diaper bag and I packed extra blankies in case she gets messy."

"Spencer" Veronica said cupping her cheek. "Your dad and I have this all under control, we raised two children already, and I have the pictures to prove it."

Spencer smiled at her mom's small joke. She bent down and kissed Amelia.

"Don't grow up while mommy's gone, ok sweetie" Spencer said. All of a sudden Amelia cracked her first smile. She quickly pulled out her phone to take a picture her. She went into the kitchen to get Toby so he could see it and overheard him and her dad talking.

"I don't know Mr. Hastings" Toby said "I thought it was a good idea, but now I think that it is too soon"

"I know my daughter, she's going to say yes" Mr. Hastings replied.

Oh my god Spencer thought I knew he was planning on proposing! He's gonna propose tonight?! She winced at the thought. I'm going to have to say no and then he's going to be upset. Him proposing is going to ruin everything!

"Toby come quick" Spencer said bursting into the kitchen like she hadn't heard anything. "Amelia is smiling her first smile."

They followed her back into the living room and sure enough there she was still smiling. When the moment had passed they decided it was time to leave. Spencer was now unexcited for their date. She couldn't get why he would think proposing was a good idea. Hadn't they talked about it? Hadn't they agreed it was too soon?

Spencer was on pins and needles all through dinner. Toby kept talking about their future together and it was making her heart pound out of her chest. How was she going to say no without hurting his feelings? She loved him, really and truly but she wasn't ready for an engagement especially since she was sure it would be a short engagement.

"Spence?" Toby said snapping her from her thoughts.

"Huh?" she asked taking a long sip from her wine glass.

"I said are you worried about Amelia?" he said "we could call your mom and check in"

"No, I'm sure my parents have it under control" she said. "You were saying?"

"Oh, I was talking about the future, the house is paid for so we don't have to worry about that financially." He said "which is good"

She nodded.

"With my savings and my job you don't even have to work if you don't want to"

Oh god! He's not only proposing he wants me to be some kind of trophy wife?

"I'm going to meet with my lawyer next week and make it so that should anything happen to me the house will be left to you and Amelia." He added.

"What's going to happen to you?!" she panicked. "I'm a cop Spencer, I need to make sure you and Amelia are taken care of, just in case"

Spencer got teary-eyed. The thought of Spencer losing Toby was too much to bear.

"Hey, I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you" he said. She shook her head.

Maybe they should get married she thought. The idea that Toby could get killed before they had a chance to get married broke her heart. What was marriage anyway? An official piece of paper?

They already were going to be together the rest of their lives, they had Amelia.

"You sure you don't want to call your mom?" he asked pulling her from her thoughts again. "You've been awfully distracted."

"No, its fine" she said "You have my full attention for the rest of the night."

Spencer was a different kind of excited. She kept waiting for the big speech and him to get down on one knee. She hoped he remembered that she hated the idea of putting the ring in food. She was disappointed when they had finished the meal and he hadn't proposed. Had she ruined it? She wondered. No, Toby probably had a private proposal planned out back at the house. She told herself. Chilled champagne, rose petals on the bed, the works.

When they got back to the house Toby went to the kitchen and took out a beer before sitting next to Spencer.

"I ruined dinner didn't I" she said despite herself.

"No, of course, not" he said kissing her cheek.

He sighed. "I do have something I wanted to give you, no pressure though if you want to wait" he said heading to the hall closet.

Finally! Spencer thought. He came back with an 8x10 box and Spencer furrowed her brow.

"Open it" he said with a small smile.

She did to see a Hollis College Course Catalog. She gave him a questioning look.

"You dropped out of Georgetown to have our baby and I just thought if you wanted to you could go back to school. Your parents are willing to help us out with babysitting and like I was saying at dinner money isn't an issue. The semester starts in a little over two weeks so if you're going to register you should do it pretty soon. Spencer's eyes popped out of her head 2 weeks?!

"Like I said it is totally up to you if you want to wait because of Amelia but there's classes online you could rock her with one hand and type with the other, just think it over" he said.

"This is so thoughtful and totally not what I was expecting" she said.

"I'm just glad that it didn't upset you" he said.

*2 weeks later*

"Look Amelia, its Mommy's first day of school" Toby said taking a picture. Amelia let out a little infant squeal.

"Laugh now, but in 5 years it will be you going off to your first day of school." Spencer said pointing at the infant. Spencer was lucky she had registered for 5 courses and only one of them required her to go to campus as the rest were online courses. Spencer was just getting ready to head out when Toby's phone went off. He wrinkled his brow before answering.

"Hey dad?" he said as smoothly as possible. They hadn't told him about Amelia yet and hoped he hadn't heard from some busybody around town. "Hold on dad let me move to a quieter area" he said before muting his phone. He wrapped an arm around Spencer's waist.

"I love you, have an amazing first day, don't worry about me and Amelia and I am so proud of you" he said giving her kisses "Did I leave anything out?"

"No, I think that about covers it" she said slipping out the door.

"Hey dad" he said again after unmuting his phone "what's up?"

*3 hours later*

"Honey, I'm home" Spencer said as she walked through the door. The smell of onions and cheese hit her as she walked in the door. She knew from the smell that Toby was making Philly cheese steak sandwiches.

"God, I love coming home to you" she said as she took a carrot stick from the counter and dunked it in the dip that was sitting out "and you" she said turning her attention to the baby now. Amelia was in the living room in sight of the kitchen laying on her back playing on her baby gym.

"She's been very active today, I'm no psychic but I think she's going to be an early crawler." He said.

"Even so it will be another 3 months or so anyway, she can't even sit up yet." Spencer said. She picked her up.

"Did you feed her?" she asked with a slight pout.

"No, I figured you would want to" he said.

"Thanks, I do" she said undoing her shirt and bra. Toby was putting dinner on plates when he heard Spencer's yelps for help.

He walked in and saw Amelia had grabbed hold of Spencer's hair.

"Yeah grabbing stuff is her new thing she got my glasses twice today." He said as he untangled her little fingers from Spencer's hair. He then took her hair and twisted it back where it would be safe from Amelia.

"So how was your first day of class?" he asked as they sat at the dinner table to eat.

"Good, my teacher's really smart, I made a couple friends, they invited me for coffee, but I said no I had to get home."

"You could have gone" Toby said.

"Yeah but first its coffee and then they're inviting me to parties and I would have to tell them that I'm a teen mom, it's not that I'm ashamed I just don't want to be labeled either."

"I get it" Toby said.

"So what was your dad calling for?" she asked changing the subject.

"Him and Rachel are getting a divorce" he said

"Really?" Spencer said surprised.

"Yeah, I guess it was just one thing after another and they finally decided to call it quits" he said.

"Wow" was all she said.

"How would you feel if we told him about Amelia?" he asked then "I mean he's no dad of the year but he's going to find out and I'd rather he find out from us"

"Yeah" Spencer agreed "set up a dinner, maybe have my parents too and that might help keep it civil."

*2 weeks later*

It was the night of the big dinner and if Spencer thought she had been nervous about telling her own parents she was way more nervous now. Her mom and dad had come early to set up and help out. Amelia began crying her hunger cry and Spencer took her to the bedroom to feed her. She was in the middle of feeding her when she heard the doorbell. He heard everyone greeting each other warmly. She straightened her dress and was heading to the bedroom door when she heard Daniel Cavanaugh speak.

"So what's this big dinner all about, you and Spencer getting hitched?" he said smiling. Spencer walked out into the room and Daniel sighed,

"So the rumors are true" he said flatly.

"Yeah dad" Toby said. "Spencer and I have a child together"

"Her name is Amelia" Spencer said quietly. He surprised everyone by reaching out to hold her.

"How old is she?" he asked as he cradled her.

"10 weeks" Spencer answered.

Dinner went smoothly as both the Hastings and Daniel told stories of Spencer and Toby as babies.

They spoke up when Toby again insisted that Amelia was going to be an early crawler.

"Spencer was an early crawler" Veronica said. "I think she crawled at 5 months?"

"Yeah she was trying to get away from Melissa" Peter quipped "she knew the words to "I Believe I Can Fly" and nothing else"

"Toby never crawled" Daniel said.

"What?!" Toby asked half intrigued and half upset.

"He was about 8 months old and Marion god bless her was so worried about it." He continued "'What if he never crawls Daniel? What if he never walks Daniel? Why is the sky blue Daniel?' The last one was just her making sure I was listening" he said. "Anyway, he was 8 months old sitting on the carpet. I was reading the paper, Marion was reading a book. He grabbed onto the coffee table and pulled himself up and yelled "Mama Mama!"

They all laughed at this. The rest of the night went smoothly. They all took turns playing with the baby and Spencer took a bunch of pictures. After their parents left and Spencer put the baby to bed she and Toby got into bed and made love passionately into the wee hours of the morning.

*2 weeks later*

"Come on Spencer" Trisha a girl from her class said. "Come out with us tonight"

"Yeah Spence" Bianca added "please come, it will be so much fun with you there"

"I can't" she said "I'd like to but I can't"

"You always say that" Trisha whined.

"I'm sorry, I don't have any time to party" she said as she left class. She was just getting into a car when Hanna called her.

"Hey Han" She said putting her key in the ignition.

"Hey Spence. I called your mom and she said she'd take Amelia, I need you and Toby to meet me at my house tonight."

"Ok" she sighed.

That night Spencer and Toby showed up at Hanna's house. Caleb, Ezra, Aria, Emily, and Alison were also there.

"Caleb and I are going to be going on a trip for about six months. We wanted to celebrate before we left because our first stop is Las Vegas and were getting married!"

They all stood in stunned silence.

"Married? Hanna are you sure?" Aria asked.

"Yeah it's a big step" Spencer said

"If you're sure I'll support you" Emily said.

Alison nodded "Me too"

"I want to support you too but don't you think you're rushing it?" Spencer said.

"Yeah" Aria said "I mean don't you think that you should take some more time"

"Guys, this is what Caleb and I want, even Caleb's therapist said it was a good idea" Hanna said. "Caleb and I have been together as long as Spencer and Toby have and everyone keeps asking you guys when you are going to get married, what do Caleb and I have to have a baby first?!"

"Little harsh Han" Aria said.

"Look, I'm sorry, I love you guys but this is what Caleb and I want" Hanna said.

"Then we support you" Spencer said with a small smile.

The gang all went out to a club and danced the night away.

Spencer was at the bar ordering shots when she felt a tap on her shoulder she turned to see Trisha and Bianca.

"No time to party, huh?" they said looking betrayed.

"No, wait listen" she said trying to explain but they walked away.

Finally Toby and Spencer drove Caleb and Hanna to the airport. They hugged them goodbye and wished them luck. As Spencer and Toby went to leave Toby stopped.

"We could go with them" he said with a twinkle in his eye "Fly to Vegas and get married"

Spencer half laughed but he could tell she was thinking about it.

"What do you say?"

What do you think? Do you think they'llget married? What do you think will happen next?
