SPENCER'S P. O. V
"Black tube top or leopard print top?" asked Emily while showing me her ideas for
Noel Kahn's upcoming party.
His invitations has been seen everywhere around Rosewood and it gave me a
headache. But I promised Emily that I would come with her to a soon-to-be party;
so I couldn't say no.
"Definitely the leopard print." I replied with a fake smile; trying to stay positive.
Staying positive hasn't been easy for all of us since Alison's murder and now it's
for sure getting harder. Since the time I saw or dreamt of Hanna at the Rosewood
Park, I haven't been truthful to myself nor could I pay attention to anything. It's
not like I have ADD, but it's similar to be honest.
"What are you planning on to wear to the party?" asked Emily.
"A garbage bag." I told her sarcastically with a low voice.
"Spence, seriously!" cried Emily; as though someone was dying.
"Something boring so they won't let me in." I said.
"You must have something. How about a short party dress?" suggested Emily.
I stayed quiet. All I was thinking of was Hanna; period. The last thing I need is
more amazing news. Like Toby being murdered? From A's text a few days ago, I
don't even want to know what's next.
"Spencer, are you okay?" she asked while sitting next to me.
"No, I am not Em. I can't stop thinking about that dream with Hanna." I said.
"Spence, it's just a dream. Hanna was murdered more than 2 months ago. Try to
forget about it." said Emily.
"What if it wasn't a dream? What if it was real?" I asked.
"You should be thinking about Aria more." said Emily.
"She's fine. She will be fine as soon as she signs out of the hospital." I told her.
"Plus, you must be excited for the party because Paige is coming. I have never
seen you being excited for a party like that. Especially Noel's party."
"Paige and I are going close. Of course I am excited." said Emily with a smile.
"How about Maya?" I asked.
"Don't you love her; you can't just cheat on her like that."
"I do love her. I never said that Paige and I are together." explained Emily.
I gave her the face 'Yeah right. It's like saying cows can fly.'
"You will be soon." I said.
She gave me a deep sigh and stood up.
"I think you should be going." said Emily.
"I think so too. See you soon." I said.
"Hold on, aren't you going to Aria?" asked Emily.
"I already did in the morning, I am going to go home for now." I exclaimed.
-20 minutes later-
I was lounging on the living room armchair, watching America's Next Top Model
season 19. How did those 19 seasons pass by so quickly? I remember watching
the first season with Melissa in like 2005 or something. Suddenly I hear a knock at
the front door. I grasp the remote control tightly but then released and stood up.
As I opened the door, Melissa showed up in her 'fresh' look, in bold sunglasses.
"Hello Spencer." she said roughly.
"Hi Melissa, where are you coming from?" I asked her with a raised eyebrow.
"Oh nowhere actually, just went to the bank." said Melissa.
"Your belly is sure getting big." I said suddenly while looking at her gigantic belly.
"Yeah it is, isn't it? I am so excited; I should give birth in 2-3 weeks." said Melissa.
"I am so happy for you Mel." I admitted.
"Thanks Spence, you will become an auntie soon!" she cried.
I gave her a big but tight smile; as though I felt like I am happy but then I am not.
A few minutes later, I found myself finishing the episode of ANTM while Melissa
was upstairs on a computer. Suddenly I heard a loud scream.
"Ah! Spencer!" screamed Melissa.
My eyes widened as I ran upstairs, which was quick because I am awesome.
As I ran into the upstairs family room, Melissa was on the chair horrified looking.
Her leggings were soaked and she was holding her stomach. Not only were her
leggings full of water but so was the carpet floor.
"Are you in-" I started.
"Yes I am! Get me to the hospital!" screamed Melissa.
"Isn't it supposed to be in 3 weeks?" I asked as I helped her downstairs.
"I thought so, I guess the baby decided to come out now." said Melissa.
Once we made it into the car, I dialed my mom and Ian. They said that they're on
their way. I sped towards Rosewood General Hospital; almost skipping red lights.
As soon as I made it to the front of the hospital, I ran inside and told them to
carry Melissa into a room.
-4 hours later-
After a few hours passed, the baby was out and ready to go while Melissa was in
one of the rooms getting treatment. I was however; in the waiting room with
mom, dad and Ian. I don't know why Ian didn't go inside, but I am guessing
because he was too scared to see all the blood and nastiness. It would be great
if Noel's party would be today so I could have skipped it but it's in 2 days. The
worst part of it is that Aria's not coming; only Emily is. But she's now going to be
staying with me the whole night, she will be having a make out session with Paige.
Which may lead to them having sex; and Maya won't like that when she finds out.
"Oh my god, is Melissa alright?" asked a soft voice behind me.
I turned my head around and found Aria staring right into my brown eyes.
"Aria, what are you doing here?" I fumbled.
"Dr. Herald said that I can start taking walks around the hospital so I am. What
happened to Melissa, why is she here?" asked Aria.
"She gave birth way too early. I don't know if she's alright or not." I answered.
"Melissa gave birth? Like to a child?" asked Aria with her hazel eyes wide.
"No she gave birth to a hippo Aria!" I cried sarcastically.
"Okay sheesh. I was just trying to calm myself down." exclaimed Aria.
"I heard there's a party coming up. You guys going?"
"I really don't want to but Emily is forcing me to." I replied.
"I wish I could make it; but unfortunately I can't. Thanks to A." whispered Aria.
"Don't mention it here." I whispered as quietly as I possibly could have.
Aria nodded and looked behind me. Ian was chewing his nails from worry, my
father just left for coffee and then there was my mother.
"No, that does not work Susan. We have to get it by Tuesday not by Thursday. Are
you actually trying to ruin this entire thing?" screamed my mom.
My mother was talking through her Blackberry Bold, having a conversation with
one of her assistants. Her left index and middle finger were clogging up her left
ear even though it was quiet and her phone was up close to her right ear.
"You better force them. I need it by Tuesday. End of conversation."
Then my mom turned her phone off and faced us with a smile.
"Is everything okay?" I asked her.
"No, my stupid assistant Susan is um-" started my mother.
"Never mind; just a little too much work going on right now."
I gave her a smile and faced Aria once again.
"I will come by soon." I told her.
Aria nodded and started walking slowly back to her hospital room.
-1 hour later-
"Would you like to visit Mrs. Thomas?" asked a young nurse who came to us.
Everyone nodded and walked inside the room where Melissa was held. There she
was, smiling and greeting us with joy. As usual; I thought.
"Hey Mel." said my dad.
"Hi mom and dad, Ian and Spencer." said Melissa.
But before anyone could have answered, a nurse burst in through the doors.
"Dr. Gold, we have a problem. We took the DNA tests, to make sure that Ian
Thomas is the baby's father for sure like you asked and it came out negative.
Mr. Thomas you aren't the baby's father." said the nurse.
Melissa's eyes widened and so did Ian's. I hid my smile with my hand.
"Then who's the father?" asked my mom.
"It turns out to be Wren Kingston." the nurse replied.
