Chapter 13
Spencer and Toby soon got serious. They realized that they had several life-changing decisions to make, and it wasn't going to be easy. They both sat on Spencer's bed, just staring at the wall. They were holding hands, but it was silent, until finally Toby spoke up.
"So, what would you like to do now? When do we tell our parents?" He asked.
Spencer brushed off Toby's question and looked straight at him. "I want to keep it." She said quickly.
Toby took a breath. "I knew you would." He said. "I do too."
"Well, now that that's all cleared up…" Spencer hopped off the bed and started leaving the room. She didn't want to discuss it any further.
"Hold on there, we haven't finished. There are more things to think about than whether we're keeping the baby or not." Toby said. "Get back here."
Spencer reluctantly turned back around to face Toby. She sat back down on the bed and looked at her concerned boyfriend.
"We need to think about doctor's appointments, telling our parents, and figure out how we're going to afford this." Toby said. Spencer nodded. Toby continued. "Do we tell our parents before or after we make these decisions?" He asked.
"Well, if you really want to tell your parents, go ahead, but I know that they've been out of your life for a while. I think that you can make decisions without them now. As for my parents, I never even know if they're at home, or halfway across the country. I know they'll find out eventually, so I need to tell them. They're not going to like it." Spencer said.
"I want you to think about when you want to tell them, and then do it when you feel the time is right. You shouldn't feel pressured, you should feel supported." Toby said.
"I'll think about it. Thank you, Toby." Spencer said, giving Toby a hug.
"Thank you, Spencer." He said. "It's going to be okay for us. I already have my apartment, and I'll figure out a way to get us more money so we can support the baby."
"I don't want you worrying about money." Spencer said. "I'll get a job. I want to help too."
"No. The only thing you need to be responsible for is the baby, school, and yourself." Toby said. "I'll take care of the rest."
"Well, I'm calling my Nana to see if she can give us a loan. I need to help somehow." Spencer said.
Toby replied. "I know that your Nana is loaded…" Spencer shot him a look. "…but won't she ask why you need money? Won't she be mad about… this?"
"I'll tell her what's going on straight out. And I'm absolutely sure she'll be over the moon about it. She adores babies, and she's been asking when I wanted to have one for ages…" Spencer said.
"Really? Wow, I would have assumed she wanted for you to be a multi-millionaire before being a mother." Toby commented.
"She's not interested in me being a mother; she just wants lots of great-grandchildren." Spencer said. "However it happens, as long as she gets what she wants, she's happy."
"Okay then!" Toby exclaimed. "I'm kind of worn out, are you ready for bed?"
"Yeah, I'd love some sleep!" Spencer said. "Do you want anything before we retire? There's not much in the fridge, but…"
Toby cut in. "I'm fine. Oh, and I have to be at work at five tomorrow, so I'll see you around three."
"Oh, well, we should do something when you get out. Would you like to have dinner?" Spencer asked.
"Sure, I'd love that." Toby answered. Spencer smiled. Toby kissed Spencer on the forehead and said "Goodnight." before heading out of the room.
"Wait, where are you going?" Spencer asked. "Aren't you staying over?"
"Yeah, I was heading downstairs; I thought we were going to bed…" He said.
"I'm not letting you sleep on the couch! Get in the bed." She pointed towards her bed.
"You're sure?" He asked. "I want you to be comfortable."
"Of course I'm sure, Toby. I don't want you sleeping anywhere else besides next to me. We're a family now." Spencer said, taking Toby's hands in hers.
Toby's eyes welled with tears. His voice was higher-toned as he said "Spencer, I love you so much. You make me so happy. You mean the world to me."
Spencer looked straight at Toby's lips, and instantly, hers touched his, and they both smiled, mid-kiss.
Once they had finished, Spencer said "Time for bed! You have to get up early."
"Are you going to school?" Toby asked.
"Aria told me to stay home, but I feel a lot better now, I think I'm going to go. I'll see how I feel in the morning."
"Alright then." Toby replied.
They climbed into bed, Spencer on the left, and Toby on the right.
They shared a kiss and then fell asleep holding hands.
A few hours later, around two in the morning, Spencer suddenly woke up. She looked over at Toby, who was in a deep sleep beside her. He was lying on his side, facing her, and she was facing him. She thought about how lucky she was to have him. He was so supportive in a situation in which most boyfriends would leave. She smiled as she watched him sleep, and then realized that it was a good idea to use the bathroom before she let herself return to her slumber. She slowly climbed out of the bed, in an effort not to wake Toby up. When she came back, he was still in a deep sleep, lying in the same position that he was when she left. She got back into the bed and covered herself up with the blankets. She laid flat on her back, and before closing her eyes, she scooted close to Toby, and took his free hand, laying it on her belly, where their tiny baby was growing.
