Chapter 33:
Spencer's POV:
It's Christmas again. Me and Toby are excited that we get to spend our first Christmas with our twins. Me and the girls decided that we would spend Christmas with our family's and then have a party for new year down a at the brew.
Toby: Spencer, can you grave my wallet from my night stand please.
Spencer: Sure.
I go upstairs, grab the wallet and go back down to give it to Toby. At the moment, Isabella and Mason are at Aria's and the twins are sleeping.
Spencer: Toby, can we talk.
Toby: Sure, what about sweetie?
Spencer: I've been looking for a new job?
Toby: Why, what's wrong with the one you've got?
Spencer: Nothing, just, I want to start a new chapter in my life.
Toby: Ok. What type have you been looking for?
Spencer: Well, I wanted to try a different thing and become a movie producer.
Toby: Ok.
Spencer: Well, what do you think?
Toby: It's spontaneous, but I know you can do it.
Spencer: Thanks, I've already spoke to people and they can secure me a well paying job of o accept.
Toby: Ok. So we are moving to L.A?
Spencer: Yeah. That's if you want to?
Toby: Of course!
Toby pulls me in for a kiss. We break.
Spencer: And we can always come back for visits.
Toby's POV:
Toby: And since we are moving, Allison and Emily can have our house since they lost their house when they moved to New York.
Spencer: Ok.
Toby: Wait, when do you have to give your final answer?
Spencer: About that…
Toby: When is the dead line Spencer?
Spencer: Tomorrow.
I can't believe that Spencer told me so late that I almost choke on oxygen.
Toby: WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME SOONER?
Spencer: The twins are sleeping!
Toby: HOW ARE WE GOUNG TO AFFORD A HOUSE, WE NEED TO GET PAST CHRISTMAS! HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID AND UNORGANISED?
Spencer: I was trying to find a way to tell you.
Toby: THAT'S FUNNY, CAUSE I WAS ALSO TRYING TO FIND A WAY TO TELL YOU THAT YOUR ANNOYING!
Spencer: Excuse me?
Toby: That's right, an annoying little bitch.
Spencer: Is that what you think of me?
Toby: Yes, and I don't care if the deadline is tomorrow, I'm not going!
Spencer: Fine! Me and the kids will go!
Toby: No! After everything we've been through, especially after Lily and Tommy, you can't take them away from me. Not now, not ever!
Spencer: I can, and I will!
Spencer storms upstairs. I follow her and see that's she's packing a bag. I try to pull it away from her and it sort of turns into a game of tug o war.
Spencer's POV:
Spencer: Let go Toby! I'm leaving and I'm taking the kids with me!
Toby: Where are you going to go?
Spencer: Far away from you.
Toby: I'm not gonna tell you again, your not taking my children!
Spencer: Yes I am! The annoying little bitch you say I am is going to take your children and never come back!
Toby: And if you do that, do you know what it will make you?
Spencer: What?
Toby: A selfish, self centred, patronising, deceiving, SHITTY, BITCHY, CUNT!
Tears form in my eye lids.
Toby: I'm sorry.
Spencer: Don't be. I know I can't take the kids away, but I can take myself.
Toby: What do you mean?
Spencer: Neither of us are happy in this marriage.
Toby: Spencer Cavanaugh, I couldn't be more happier when with you. Leave, and I'll be heart broken. Yes we have our heated arguments, but what always comes at the end of them is forgiveness, just like this one.
I shake my head.
Spencer: Toby.
Toby: No, if the kids are staying then so are you. I don't care if I sound forceful! Im not letting the love of my life walk away from me.
Spencer: Im not gonna leave if that's what you want.
Toby: Thank-
Spencer: But, I need some time to think.
Toby: Seriously. Aria did that, and then she regretted it so much.
Toby's POV:
Spencer decided to stay and I'm so thankful. One thing that I'm not thankful for is that the way I treats her. I felt like I was pushed to my limits and was about to do something I would regret. Instead of doing it, I resisted, but called her names. I feel so guilty for calling her those names. At the moment, we are in 'Toys r Us' collecting some gifts for the kids. The kids are at the last day of school so we have enough time.
Toby: Spencer, about last night.
Spencer: Toby. We both decided to draw a line under it and not speak of it.
Toby: I know, and I just want you to know how much I really love you, and how much I'm sorry.
Spencer: I know. I'm sorry to. Can we just finish shopping.
We exit the store with presents for the kids. We get home, with just enough time to wrap them and for them to be hidden. By the time we have finished, it's time to pick the kids up. We pick them up, and head home. Isabella decides that she wants to make some Christmas cookies. So Spencer takes her down to the store to get the ingredients. Where as Mason wants to build something with the Legos that he hasn't lost. The twins are sleeping at the moment. There's a knock on the door. I open it and to my amazement, it's Samantha and Max Jenkins.
Max: I'm so sorry, I tried to talk her out of it, but she wouldn't listen.
Samantha: where's Nelly? Where's Tyler?
Toby: Samantha, you can't be here. My wife is on her way home with our other daughter, and she won't be impressed o see you
Samantha: Let me se them.
She tries to push past me, but I stop her.
Toby: Max, can you get your wife under control?
Max: I'm afraid I can't do that!
Toby: Why?
Max: This is why!
Before I can answer back, I'm lying on the ground. I see the couple run into the house and up the stairs. Mason starts screaming as he is dragged downstairs by Max. The twins are being carried by Samantha. I have just the right amount of energy to get up and start fighting them. I manage to grab the twins of of Samantha.
Spencer's POV:
As I pull up to my home, I star at the front door and see a… I have no words to describe it.
Spencer: Stay here sweetie.
I get out the car and get involved. I end up punching Samantha in the face, which sends her flying to the ground outside the house. Toby takes the twins to safety, whilst I tackle a man, who's taller and stronger than me.
Mason: Let me go!
I manage to grip my son, with the help of some other people who were walking past and helped. We pull Mason away and then Max is pushed to the floor. I call the police and the pair are arrested for attempted child abduction. I get Isabella from the car and then get inside. Toby locks the door and hugs me whilst I've still got Mason and Isabella in my arms. We break.
Spencer: Why do bad things always happen to us?
Toby: Things are going to get better, I promise.
Spencer: I hope so. I know they got caught, but to make sure this doesn't happen again, whenever someone gets home, lock the door, and don't answer it unless we say so.
Mason: Ok.
Toby: You ok buddy?
Mason: Yeah, can I go back to playing with my Legos?
Spencer: Sure.
Isabella: Can we bake the cookies now momma?
Spencer: Maybe tomorrow sweetie.
Isabella: Please.
Spencer: I said not today.
Isabella: But, but-
Toby: Your mother said no. Now go and play or something.
Isabella: FINE!
Isabella runs off.
