Well, this is an awkward hello after almost 2 months... I'm really sorry! I barely remember where I left off with this story. I had this chapter finished on my computer... So I'm going to re-read the entire story and finish the 22nd chapter for you. Again, I'm really sorry. I'm not eve going to give you an excuse because it won't even matter. I'll try to upload more often!

Chapter 21

"Spencer Hastings!" A nurse called into the waiting room. Spencer had already filled out the daunting 'new patient' forms… Well, Melissa filled them out with Spencer's guidance when needed. Spencer was much too nervous to fill out any forms; her hands were very shaky. They stood up, and Spencer followed Melissa, who followed the nurse. They ended up in a typical examination room- it was cold, bright, and produced an uncomfortable feeling for Spencer. Melissa seemed quite calm; she had been here several times before, and plus, this wasn't her appointment. Spencer was instructed to put on a gown, so she did. As she sat on the exam table, her hands clenched and her jaw tightened in anticipation. And surprisingly, within seconds, the doctor entered the room.

The sisters pulled up to their house back in Rosewood, and, Surprise, surprise! Aria, Emily, Hanna and Toby were sitting at her front steps waiting for her. Spencer got out of the car, and, followed by Melissa, walked to the front door, past her friends, and unlocked it without a word to anyone. She stepped inside and motioned for the others to enter. They sat down, and Spencer put some cheese and crackers on the table.

Before Spencer could even take a seat, Hanna opened her mouth. "So…." She said, letting Spencer know that they were waiting for her to talk.

Spencer smiled. "Everything is good." She said. "The doctor said that everything looks healthy, and that I'm about nine weeks."

"Whoa!" Emily said, louder than she should have. Everyone quickly turned and stared at her. "What? I didn't expect her to be that far!" She said, embarrassed.

Spencer rolled her eyes playfully. "Me neither, Em. But all that means is less of a wait until our baby is here!" She looked straight at Toby.

"I like the sound of that. Our baby." Aria said.

Spencer chuckled. "I was talking to Toby, but yes, it's everyone's baby. It's well loved."

"She's well loved" Toby said.

Spencer bit her smiling bottom lip and shook her head. "Why does everyone think it's a girl?" She asked.

"Because it is a girl!" Hanna said. "We proved it!"

"Oh did you?" Toby asked questionably.

"Yeah, we did this ring test thing…" Aria said.

"So you told them about the ring?" Toby asked.

"What ring?" Melissa asked in excitement. She was clueless.

Spencer lifted her hand for Melissa's viewing. "Calm down, it's only a promise ring." Spencer said.

"Only?" Toby said sarcastically. He knew exactly what Spencer meant. It just came out wrong.

Spencer walked behind Toby and wrapped her arms around him, kissing his cheek. She knew he was only kidding. "I love you." She whispered. His head turned, and his lips crashed into hers. A chorus of "Aww!" sprung from the group.

"Okay. That's it. Everybody out." Spencer said.

The girls made pouty faces, but when they realized that that wasn't going to help them, Hanna decided to make one last joke before they were shooed out. "You heard her guys, she and Toby need some alone time!" She said. Spencer blushed with embarrassment as the girls headed out, Melissa to the barn, and Hanna, Aria and Emily to their respective cars.

Spencer, still red in the face, watched out the windows to see that everyone was in fact gone. She took Toby's hand in hers and looked up to him.

"So, we're all alone…" Toby said, with an expression that implied that he wanted some time alone with her.

"Yeah, we are." Spencer said back. She smiled at him. "Do you want something to eat? A drink?" She asked.

Toby chuckled. "Nah, I'm fine." He said. "I think we should just spend some quality time together, and not think about anything but you and I."

"I really like that idea." Spencer said. She pulled Toby close. "I was actually thinking that we could… umm…" she said daintily. She rephrased her thoughts and continued. "…head up to my room?" She waited for his approval, or even just a comment to tell her what he thought.

His eyes widened. "You were?" He said in surprise. Although she hadn't said the word, he could tell by the look in her eyes that she wanted to do just a little more than spend time cuddling with him…

And she led him up the stairs, hand in hand.
