Hey guys! So thanks for the feedback. I decided to make it Jaria that has been my favorite ever since Jason said his missed Aria's pink hair. There is some Haleb and Jaria in this chapter along with some Spencer/Daughter time.
Chapter One: In My Daughter's Eyes
But the truth is plain to see,
She was sent to rescue me,
I see who I want to be,
In my daughter's eyes
Five Years Later
Spencer got up at Six a.m. looking around her room. Sometimes she would wake up thinking that the pass few years had been only a dream and she's be back in Rosewood the girls trying to stay alive. But then she'd see the small girl curled into her side and know.
Sophia Marion Cavanaugh was Spencer's four year old daughter. She was the prefect bend of Spencer and Toby. She lived in a two bedroom apartment with Keith, Bree, and their son Cody.
Keith and Bree had become her family, after taking the test in Philadelphia she bit the bullet and decide to come to California with them. They started out in the ratty studio apartment until Keith's mother began wiring them from his trust fund and Spencer moved the money that her grandmother had left her into a new account. Keith and Spencer rarely touched from their families' money, but liked to have it on hand in case something came up.
Spencer had just graduated Stanford where she attended with a free ride scholarship. She had taken a year off for her pregnancy and the first few months of Sophia's life. Juggling school and Sophia was very hard but with Keith and Brianna it was like she had a built in support group.
"Momma," Sophia said looking up at Spencer with her big blue eyes. "Time for school?"
"No, Sophie. Its summer," Spencer smiled when Sophia grinned.
Brianna stuck her head in the room. "Bath-time and I want coffee."
Sophia quick ran into the bathroom as Spencer walked into the kitchen to begin preparing the coffee. Keith walked out the room shirtless and started cooking breakfast.
Keith had just graduated culinary school and was an amazing chef. He catered his and Brianna's wedding not that there where many people. She was Brianna's maid of honor and they were both very pregnant at the time and Keith's best man was his older brother Malcolm and the witnesses were Brianna's grandparents and Keith's mother.
"Bree and I were talking last night," Keith said he began making pancakes.
Spencer hummed.
"About what this summer and going back to Pennsylvania," Keith said with a shrug. "My Dad is sick and I want Cody to see him. Bree's parents are coming around too."
"Oh, well our lease is up in a few weeks so I guess I could find a new place," Spencer said sadly.
"No way Spence, we want you to come," Keith said looking at her. "You are the sister I've always wanted. I mean me and Bree would be sleeping in a car without your crazy schedules and finance skills."
Spencer didn't say anything she just hummed and poured a cup of coffee. Minutes later Cody and Sophia came running out the bathroom. Cody was wearing a blue and black baseball tee, jean, and black converse while Sophia was wearing a Little Miss Sunshine t-shirt, jeans, and pink converse.
Spencer was the last to use the bathroom that morning while the kids watched one of Sophia favorite movies Tinkerbell: Secret of The Wings after breakfast. She thought about going home a lot. She still watched over her friend by reading the Rosewood news website and her friend's social networking websites. She sent them (Aria, Hanna, Emily, and even Jason) handwritten letter once in a while and they'd post how much the missed her on Facebook.
She never told them about Sophia, she just explained about A and Toby being on the A-team and how it was too much to handle.
She knew Aria had broken up with Ezra a few months after she left and was now in a happy relationship with Jason. Hanna and Caleb were still going strong and soon to be married. Emily had rekindled her relationship with Samara Cook after her and Paige went to different collages.
Toby was carpenter now, he and Mona testified against 'A' whom turned out to be Cece Drake and other known 'A' killers Wren and Detective Wilden. It turns out she and Detective Wilden and Cece killed Ali after finding out she was pregnant with Wilden's baby. Wren killed Garrett on Halloween and admitted to being the person in the Queen of Hearts costume.
Mona the longest standing members of the A team confessed that the joined the willing but after her stay a Radley she stayed to protect Hanna while Toby however was blackmailed into joining the A-team by Jenna. The N.A.T club videos provide proof that Toby was molested by Jenna and the Toby's record were expunged.
Spencer wondered if she could go back but walking out of the bathroom and looking down into Sophia's eye's it was like all the darkness turned to light. When she looked that her daughter she was a reminder that no matter how long she ran, one day she would have to face him.
"So Plane, Train, or Car," Spencer smiled sitting next to Brianna.
"You're really doing this? You're going back with us," Brianna asked hopefully.
"Yes, I can't stay away from Rosewood for the rest of my life." Spencer sighed explaining, "I can't shield Sophia from my past and I can't hind her from her family."
"We were thinking of a road trip," Keith smiled. "I really don't want to deal with selling the car."
"Okay, Brianna you'll need to get the mini-van cleaned, Keith you'll need start making some food, and I'll make a schedule and start packing," Spencer smiled back.
Sophia and Cody were happy to be moving. They loved new places. Sophia was helping Keith make the food while Cody was helping Spencer pack clothes.
"Auntie Jilly," Cody said. Spencer looked over that him smiling. Cody had always had a hard time with the name Spencer so Bree told him to call her by her middle Jill.
"Yes, Cody-bear," said Spencer walking over to him.
Cody held out an old picture of Toby in herself that she had hidden in the back of her closet with the all of Toby's shirts she had keep, "Is this Sophie's Daddy?"
"Yeah, I forgot I had that," Spencer smiled sadly. Sophia knew what her Daddy looked like and she knew a little about him. Spencer had given her a locket with his picture inside for Christmas. Sophie looked at it every night whisper her goodnights pretending that it was a walkie-talkie and Toby was on the other end.
"You look really happy," Cody smiled.
"I was," Spencer smiled kissing her god-son on his head. "Let's finish packing."
"O-tay!"
Mean While in Rosewood
At the Grille all just returning home for a summer with their families Hanna, Caleb, Aria, and Emily sat talking. Hanna sat on Caleb's lap talking about he up incoming wedding.
"So Hanna, have you and Caleb sat a date," Aria asked with a giggle. "He purposed almost a year ago."
"Not yet, I've been busy working on my clothing line for kid by it will be this summer," Hanna smiled. "Em, where is Samara. I really need a third bridesmaid."
"She has a hangover from Noel's party last night," said Emily with a smirk.
"Caleb don't you have input this is your wedding too," Aria sighed.
"I have my groom's men Jason and my step brother Ryan. Toby agreed to be my best man," Caleb shrugged. "We can't do anything until Hanna picks a maid of honor and made up her mind on a date."
"Ugh, you try planning a wedding! You know I'm not with schedules and stuff," Hanna groaned. "Speaking of which, where is Jason?"
"He got a call early about something he said he'd meet us here," Aria explained. "Let's go back to the house
When they were about to get up and leave, Jason walked in with Melissa. Aria glared at Melissa and walked over to Jason.
"What's going on," Aria glared. She knew Jason and Melissa found equal ground after Spencer went missing but she knew Jason still didn't like Melissa as much as he had liked Spencer.
"We found Spencer," Jason smiled kissing Aria softly on the lips. Hanna and Emily stood up and walked over hearing this.
"Where is she," the three girls asked in unison.
"She just finished Stanford 3rd in her class a colleague of mine sent me this," Jason said proudly show the pictures of Spencer in her cap and gown.
"She looks beautiful," Aria smiled.
"How did you find her," Emily asked looking at the pictures of Spencer.
"My new boyfriend Malcolm, his brother is good friends with her. The reason we couldn't find her is because she's been under the allies Jill Spencer," Melissa explained. "There is something else…"
Melissa took the phone and flipped it to the first picture send. It was a picture of Spencer and a girl with blood steaks in her hair both showing off two very large stomachs.
"She's pregnant," Hanna exclaimed.
"Was… that picture was taking five months after she left Rosewood," Melissa said eyeing the three girls.
"She was pregnant when she left," Aria whispered.
"Yes, so who's the father," Melissa asked unsure if Spencer had slept with Wren after Toby and her broke up.
"Who else would it be," The girls and even Caleb said.
"While Spencer was here the only person she slept with was Toby." Emily clarified, "Should we tell him? He has the right to know."
"No, it's not our place," Jason spoke. "Spencer kept this a secret for a reason. We don't even know if she kept the baby."
"I bet she did," Aria said in a soft tone. "I wonder what the baby looks all."
"If it's a girl it would look like Spencer," Melissa smiled. "Hasting's genders are strong in girls."
"With Toby's eyes of course," Hanna added as the all sat down.
"And dimples," Emily smiled. "I bet if it was a boy is was born with Toby's abs."
"Emily! What are you doing looking at Toby's abs?" Hanna teased Emily laughed gleefully.
"Hey! Just because I'm lesbian doesn't mean I can't appreciate Toby's abs!" Emily giggled.
For the rest of the day Aria, Hanna, Emily, Melissa, and even Jason and Caleb sat guess with a Spoby baby would look like.
In my daughter's eyes,
Everyone is equal,
Darkness turns to light,
And the world is at peace,
This miracle god gave to me,
Gives me strength when I am weak,
I find reason to believe,
In my daughter's eyes
Thanks for reading. In the next chapter Spencer's road trip back home, the girls will meet Sophia and we see what Toby has been up to in the last five years. That is just one of my many A theories it seem to be the only one at fit the story.
