*Week 1 of counseling*

"I don't understand why we're here?" Toby said irritatedly

"Toby" Spencer pouted "our marriage is in trouble, don't you care?"

"Babe, there's nothing wrong with our marriage, you been watching too many of those afternoon talk shows" Toby said joking.

"So you have no complaints? Our marriage is perfect?" Spencer snapped.

"I only have one complaint and we could be at home right now taking care of it!" Toby said. Spencer rolled her eyes.

"Hello" Dr. Collins said as she walked into the room.

"Hello" Spencer said standing and shaking hands with the Doctor. "I'm Spencer and this is my husband Toby."

Toby stood and shook the doctors hand half-heartedly.

"What seems to be the problem?" Dr. Collins asked.

"There's problems with our marriage and we want to fix them." Spencer said. Toby rolled his eyes.

"Toby how do you feel?" The doctor asked pointedly.

"There's nothing wrong with our marriage, I love my wife what else is there to say?" He said irritatedly.

"No complaints at all?" She asked.

"No" he huffed.

"His complaint is we don't have enough sex" Spencer said.

"Spencer!" Toby said blushing slightly.

"How's she going to help us, if we don't tell her?" Spencer asked.

"Have either of you been unfaithful?" She asked.

"No" they said in unison without hesitation.

"You both are capable of having sex, everything is functioning properly" she asked. They nodded.

"How often do you masturbate?" She asked Toby.

"Once a day?" He guessed "not everyday but more days than not"

"Spencer?" She asked

"Three times a week?" Spencer said.

"What?!" Toby choked. "Where am I?"

"Spencer?" The doctor urged when she said nothing. "Explain to your husband why you haven't been requesting sex from him."

"You're at work or with the kids" she admitted. "He's been working late so usually we're all in bed by the time he gets home, so if he comes home early I let him spend time with the kids."

"So I'm being punished for working and taking care of my family?" He asked angrily. "Private school for the kids, horseback lessons for Lydi, soccer camp for Sebastian, these things cost money Spencer"

"Now it's all coming out" the therapist said knowingly.

They looked at her confused.

"I get a lot of couples that come in here saying their problem is sex or intimacy. But sex and intimacy is rarely truly the issue unless their having sex with someone else or it's a mechanical problem." She explained. "Toby's feeling the burden of the family" which is making him work more and you're punishing him for not being there by not having sex with him."

She could tell they were processing this information.

"Ok times up for this week" the doctor announced. "Your "homework" for next week is to have sex, I don't care where or how. Toby show Spencer you value her and your family and life together and Spencer give Toby something to come home to."

They left the doctors office. Toby got into the car, Spencer got in the back seat.

"What are you doing back there?" He joked as she began to unbutton her blouse. He got into the back seat with her.

"I love you and I want this to work" Spencer said kissing him.

"I love you too, I don't ever want you to forget that" he said pulling her panties down and undoing his pants. "You and our kids are my world"

After lots of moving, repositioning and a little swearing they were finally going at a good rhythm. Spencer clung to him desperate and horny.

"Fuck Spence!" Toby yelled while she shrieked as they both came.

*week 2 of counseling*

"So I see you're both smiling" Dr. Collins said entering the room. "How was the week?"

"Good, Toby came home early 3 nights this week, one night he even cooked so I didn't have to" Spencer gushed.

"Toby?" The therapist asked.

"We had sex 6 times" he admitted.

"Was it good sex? Which time did you like the most?" She asked.

Toby blushed not wanting to talk about his sex life with a complete stranger.

"Don't tell me, tell Spencer" the therapist encouraged. Toby turned to her.

"I liked when we had sex in the car, and when I made dinner and you gave me a blow job that night and we had sex twice. I also liked Sunday afternoon when the kids were vegging out in front of the TV and you took me upstairs into the shower."

Spencer kissed him. "I liked those times too. The shower was my favorite." She looked at the therapist before continuing. "I wish you would've done more foreplay"

"You need the therapist here to tell me that?" Toby said irritated with how much they were sharing.

"I didn't want to kill the mood" Spencer pouted. Toby took her hand and kissed it.

"I'm sorry I snapped" he said.

"Ok" the therapist said at the end of the session. "Your homework this week is the same. Have sex and also pleasure each other without intercourse"

*Week 3 of counseling*

"Uh-oh" the doctor said looking at both their disgruntled faces. "Who wants to go first?"

"He came home late from work all week" Spencer said. "He doesn't care about me or our family"

"Toby, how does what Spencer said make you feel?" Dr. Collins asked.

"It hurts, I feel like the sacrifices I make and effort I put in are unappreciated"

"What effort?!" Spencer yelled "the kids and I don't care about the money, we care about you and we want you around."

"How were things in the bedroom?" She asked.

"We had sex once, but it was robotic and forced" Spencer said. Toby nodded in agreement.

"We did the pleasure thing, that was amazing" Spencer said squeezing her legs together.

"Yeah, that was good" Toby said flushed with pride.

"Ok here's my suggestion to you guys for this week" she said "get out of your heads and out of your marriage"

"Take Spencer out like you two are still dating, meet up at a bar pretending to be different people, have an affair with each other. Spice things up between the two of you sexually."

They nodded and thanked her. They kissed deeply for a few minutes outside the doctor's office before getting into their cars and driving off to work.

Tuesday night Spencer was giving Lydia a bath when Toby called.

"Hi baby" Spencer said into the phone.

"Hi daddy!" Lydia squealed.

"What are you doing?" He asked laughing.

"I'm giving Lydia a bath" Spencer said.

"Can you leave her for a minute?" He asked "I want to ask you on a date like we're still dating and it's kinda hard to do when you are bathing my child."

"Ok" she giggled stepping out of the bathroom.

"Hi" he said indicating he was starting the conversation over.

"Hey" she said in a fake girly voice.

"So I was thinking, I could take you out to that restaurant you like so much on Saturday night, think you could get away from your books for a few hours?" He asked.

"For you I can manage" she said

"I'll pick you up at 7" he said.

After hanging up with Toby, Spencer called her mother and asked her if she'd pick the kids up Friday from school and keep them for the weekend. Spencer had a surprise for Toby too.

Wednesday night Toby came home super early and made dinner and did the dishes. He helped Sebastian with his homework and read Lydia a bedtime story.

"Ok" he announced to Spencer as he came into the bedroom. "I have performed my fatherly and husbandly duties and so therefore it's time for you to perform your wifely duties." He said cozying up to her.

"Toby I have to read this" she said holding up a massive packet of papers. Toby pouted.

"In the morning" she said "I promise to fulfill my wifely duties"

"Ok" he said knowing they had all weekend at the very least.

Toby and Spencer both overslept the next morning though.

"Toby, wake up" Spencer urged "we're late I'm going to have to reward you in the shower" she said leading him towards the bathroom

"Mom!" Sebastian yelled banging on the door "I need you to sign my permission slip"

"Put it on the table" Spencer yelled back as Toby started the shower.

"I don't know where it is" he yelled

"So look for it" Spencer said.

"I don't have time I'm not even dressed yet." Sebastian yelled.

"Hold that thought" Spencer told Toby.

10 minutes later Spencer came in and quickly stripped down and hopped into the shower.

"Finally" she said kissing him underneath the warm water.

"I'm late for work" Toby said giving her one last probing kiss. "Tonight"

Toby worked late that night and Spencer was half asleep by the time he came home. He tried to arouse her by rubbing her center but she grumbled she was tired.

"Ok" he said kissing her temple "but I'm setting the alarm for 6 AM so we aren't interrupted again."

Toby saying that must have tempted the fates though because Lydia came into their bedroom at 5:40 rubbing her eyes and sniffling.

"Mommy, I had a bad dream" she said climbing into bed with them. Spencer cuddled her to her chest and Toby rubbed her back.

"I'll go make coffee" Toby said.

"Hey" Spencer said reaching out to grab his pajama shirt and pull him in for a kiss.

"Tonight" she said between kisses "I promise, I promise promise promise"

That night Toby told Spencer he'd be late but not that late from work. He offered to bring home take out. She called at 7 and he said he'd be leaving in half an hour so she threw on the lingerie she bought, she'd bought a new dress for tomorrow as well. She drove over to his office. She couldn't wait to see his face. She opened the door to his office reception area and was surprised to see his secretary's purse on her desk. She was supposed to leave at five. Spencer figured Toby had asked her to stay for some reason. She heard what sounded like books flying onto the floor. She opened the door to Toby's office. She saw but didn't want to believe what she was seeing. Toby's secretary was jerking him off and it looked like he was about to bend her over his desk and fuck her brains out. Spencer was at a loss for words so she turned and started walking out the door. Spencer heard him tell his secretary that she was fired and then he was chasing after her.

"Spencer, Spencer, Spencer!" He yelled chasing after her. She was to the car door by the time he caught her.

"Baby listen that was nothing like what it looked like" Toby said grabbing a hold of her.

"Don't touch me!" She yelled. Toby let go of her.

"You must think I'm really stupid" she said sniffling.

"No" he breathed his heart breaking too because he knew she didn't believe him.

"All those late nights..." She trailed off "and I believed you"

"I thought you wanted to work on our marriage, I thought you loved me" she said wiping her eyes.

"I do, I do love you" Toby insisted.

"Men who love their wives, don't do what you were just doing" she cried getting into the car.

"It's not..."

Spencer slammed the car door in the middle of his sentence.

"It's not what you think!" Toby yelled.

*Week 4 of counseling*

"I don't know if she's coming" Toby told Dr. Collins. "She hasn't looked at me since Friday night"

"What happened?" the doctor asked.

"She wanted to surprise me at the office, spice up our sex love like you said, plus we were a little hindered by the kids this week." Toby said "anyway my secretary started coming on to me, very aggressively, and Spencer walked in as I was trying to get her to stop jerking me off"

The doctor nodded.

"She doesn't believe me" Toby said.

"Maybe you need to tell her again" the doctor said pointing her pencil to the door to the office that Spencer was walking through.

Now you know what happened, but remember there's three sides to every story, yours, theirs and the truth. Tune in next time as we go back to the present where Toby's trying to win Spencer back, Spencer's trying to figure out her feelings and we find out some more information about the incident.

Is Toby as innocent as he says? Is Spencer going to forgive him?

Don't forget to review!

Until next time my lovelies...
