Prequel to my first story "PLL Next Generation".
A/N Spencer Hastings is 18 and Toby Cavanaugh is 19. Spoby doesn't have any kids yet but their first pregnancy will be within a few months of their wedding.
Spencer's POV
(End of July - Spencer graduated high school last month)
I was Spencer Hastings. Soon to be Spencer Cavanaugh because I am getting married to Toby in a few days. My parents didn't like the fact that I was engaged right after high school. They basically told me that if I wanted to be engaged to Toby then I had to move out of the Hastings house. I remember the conversation my parents had with me after high school graduation.
Flashback to Spencer's High school graduation - Beginning of June
"Spencer, you are way to young to get married. I really think you should rethink this." My dad said
"I thought you and mom were okay with it?" I asked
"Your mom isn't anymore now that she knows Toby was asking you to marry him and not just move in with him. We both thought Toby was just going to ask you to move in and not get married." My dad said
"We love each other and he is the one for me." I said
"Know that you are engaged you can move out and go live with him." My mom said
"I am planning on moving in with him but I was thinking of waiting a little while." I said
"You are engaged so you either live with him or break off the engagement Spencer." My dad said
I packed a few suitcases and drove my car over to Tobys. I was upset that my parents wanted me to leave but I understood.
"I hope you don't mind me moving in sooner then we planned." I said
"Why, What Happened?" Toby asked
"My parents said that if I wanted to stay engaged to you then I had to move out." I said
"Don't worry about it, there is plenty of room here for you." Toby said
"When was the last time you talked to Caleb?" I asked
"Last week, He told me he was coming to visit Hanna and he hoped he could work their relationship out." Toby
"I thought I saw him today at graduation." I said
(At the moment Haleb is friends but they will get back together)
"Hanna and Caleb are meant for each other just like we are. I told Hanna that I was team Haleb as much as I am Team Spoby." I said
"So you are making couple names for us and your other friends relationships." Toby said
"Yes, it is a girl code thing. Once the couple name is made then non of us are allowed to steal their best friends boyfriend." I said
"Now that we are engaged we are no longer boyfriend/girlfriend. Its called Finance when you are engaged." Toby said
"Are you trying to out smart me Toby?" I asked
Then we got all romantic and we took things to the bedroom.
(End of flashback)
Toby and I were watching video memories of our relationship. Toby used a camera to film moments he would want us to remember. Most of these moments we had to recreate because it wasn't filmed the first time around.
memory of first Spoby kiss
Toby and I spent the night in a hotel together. Nothing happened because we were just friends but our friendship felt so real. The next morning as I was leaving he surprised me with a kiss.
"I was not expecting that." I said
"I hope it is not to soon but I really like you." Toby said
memory of Spoby's first I Love You
"Here, This is for you." I said as I gave him the truck keys.
"Spencer, you did not have to buy a truck for me." Toby said
"I wanted to." I said
"You have no idea how much I love you right now." Toby said
"I wanted to be the one to say that first." I said and
Then we kissed.
"I love you so much right now." I said
Spoby's prom memory
This year was the year for Toby and I to win prom King/Queen or so I thought. We both won but I quickly found out by Andrew that Toby had technically lost but Hanna, Aria, and Emily changed some of the votes so Toby would win. I was angry at them but Happy that Toby and I won until I found out that rigging the voting was all Tobys idea.
"Don't be upset at your friends. I asked them to help me make sure that we both won this year." Toby said
"Why would you do that?" I asked
"I could not watch you dance with Andrew Campbell again." Toby said
"That is not a good enough reason Toby. If you did not want me to dance with him you could have just said something to me." I said
I left prom and went home. Toby called my cell phone but I ignored the call. The next morning we made up with each other.
Spoby graduation proposal memory
Graduation finally arrived because Andrew and I were both tied we both got to be class valedictorian. Andrew and I both gave our valedictorian speeches. Then it was time for former graduates to speak and Toby was one of them. In his speech he called me up to the stage and he proposed to me.
"I am not one for making speeches but at the end of this speech I have something to say. First of all I graduated Rosewood high school in last years class. Thanks to the help of my tutor Spencer Hastings. Without her I never would have passed. Currently I am taking some business classes at Rosewood Community College and the same smart girl is helping me along the way. I would like to call Spencer up to the stage now because I have something that I want to say to her." Toby said
I walked up to the stage. I sort of had an idea of what he was going to ask me.
"This lovely girl and I have been dating for just over a year and a half now. We love each other so much and I am ready to start my life with her so my question for you is." Toby said
There was a slight pause. By now I knew what he was about to ask me.
"Spencer Hastings' You are my rock, my one and only, my safe place to land. So will you do me the honor of marrying me and becoming Spencer Hastings Cavanaugh?" Toby asked
I was silent for a minute and it was making Toby really nervous.
"Spencer, You are not going to reject my proposal are?" Toby asked
"I love you and I really want to marry you but I have to think about how my parents will react." I said
"Spence, you are 18 meaning you are an adult and this is your decision." Toby said
"Yes, one million times yes, I will marry you Toby." I said
end of flashbacks/memories
Day before Spoby's wedding - July 31st
Toby's POV
Tomorrow Spencer and I were getting married. Our rehearsal dinner was tonight. Spencer's parents decided to support us and they are hosting the rehearsal dinner. After the dinner Spencer and Hanna are spending the night in the Hastings barn. I will be sleeping in the loft and after the rehearsal dinner will not see Spencer again until the wedding. Unfortunately Emily and Alison are unable to attend the wedding because they are in London, England, United Kingdom. Emily is swimming in the summer Olympics and Alison is her girlfriend so she went with her to the UK. Thankfully we will be able to Skype Emily and Alison tomorrow so they can see the wedding even without actually being here.
Spencer was with Aria at the hospital because she just had a baby girl on July 25th. Aria's daughter Jayde was born one month early so she was still in the hospital. Unfortunately Jayde was born with a heart defect. Aria only had to stay in the hospital for a little over 24 hours after Jayde was born. It's a complicated story but Aria isn't with Jayde's father and he doesn't even know he has a kid. Aria and Ezra had a hurtful breakup (Ezria will get back together eventually, shortly after he finds out about Jayde) and according to Spencer she hasn't talked to him since. Aria doesn't know this but Ezra owns the brew. Since Spencer and I live above the brew in the loft apartment we have seen Ezra on more then one occasion. As far as we know he is not dating anyone at the moment.
I had to work part of the day at Rosewood Police station part of the day. I'm staring business school in the fall but I am still working so that I have money for bills and so I can occasionally buy gifts for Spencer. My dream is to open a business in construction but it will be a few years before I can do that. My dad owns a construction company so I do help him out when I have time. He pays me for it so I am able to save some more money.
Spencer texted me saying that her and Aria are on the way. Hanna was already at the Hastings house helping with the setup. Melissa was also helping with the setup.
"Is Spencer here yet?" Melissa asked
"She's on her way. She was with Aria most of the day today." I said
"How's Jayde doing?" Melissa said pretending to care
"You would have to ask Spencer that. I haven't been to the hospital since the day she was born." I said
"You should be happy to know that Wren couldn't make the trip from London since he started a new job at a London hospital and couldn't get the time off." Melissa said
I didn't tell Melissa this but I was happy knowing Wren wasn't here. Wren said some mean things to Spencer at him and Melissa's wedding a few months ago.
Melissa walked away and I went to go talk to Hanna who was talking with Caleb. I waited until she was done with the conversation before saying anything.
"Are you two back together yet?" I asked hoping the answer would be yes
"Caleb and I decided that because of the distance we are better off as friends. He did promise to come visit me in NYC." Hanna said
"It's not to late to find a school in California." I said
"Travis broke up with me and I made a promise to Caleb that I would date anyone else so Caleb and I are friends with benefits." Hanna said
"Spence and I were once friends with benefits during one of the relationship breaks we had. In a matter of weeks we had gone back to being girlfriend/boyfriend." I said
"That's because you thought you got Spencer pregnant. It was all a lie so Spencer could guilt you into getting back together." Hanna said
"Hanna, what are you talking about and how would you know because Spence told me she didn't tell anyone but me that she thought she was pregnant." I said
"I told Spencer to tell you she was pregnant. You can give me credit for that idea because it was all mine. I plan on doing the same thing with Caleb and I am going to tell him right before I leave for school in NYC." Hanna said
After that conversation I went to talk to Jason. He was married and his wife was at home raising their two twin girl Coco and Chanel.
"How is life with kids?" I asked
"Tiring but eventually they will be worth it. My girls will be 3 months old tomorrow." Jason said
"Spencer and I can babysit if you ever need us to." I said
Spencer got here with Aria. Aria looked tired but she was happy to be here. The rehearsal for the wedding started. Aria is our wedding singer and our wedding song is "Can't help Falling in Love". (Ingrid Michaleson version)
Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Shall I stay
Would it be a sin
If I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows surely to the sea
Darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
So take my hand, and take my whole life too
'Cause I can't help falling in love with you
Like a river flows so surely to the sea
Oh my darling so it goes
Some things are meant to be
So won't you please just take my hand, and take my whole life too
'Cause I can't help falling in love, in love with you
'Cause I can't help falling in love, falling in love,
I keep falling in love with you
Suddenly in the middle of the song Aria stopped singing and went into the Hastings house crying. Spencer and I ran after her.
"Aria, what's going on?" Spencer asked
"It's the song. It reminds me to much of my relationship with Ezra." Aria said
"Aria, we can change songs. I know it's last minute but if you want to sing another song it's fine." I said
"Aria, Toby and I can pick another wedding song. We had a list of several songs before we choose "Can't Help Falling in Love"." Spencer said
"You two don't have to change songs for me." Aria said
"Aria, if you can't sing this song then we don't mind changing songs for tomorrow." I said
"I can call my friend Jena Irene. She can sing this song for you. Jena did an amazing job with Can't Help Falling in Love when she sang it on American Idol. She did win runner up so Jena can sing." Aria said
"Are you sure she would be able to fly from Michigan to Pennsylvania in less then 24 hours.
"Jena wouldn't have to fly because she is actually in Philadelphia this weekend for the american idol tour." Aria said
"Thanks Aria for doing this for Spencer and I." I said
I asked Jason to take Aria to her apartment but knowing Aria she is going to want to go back to the hospital because Aria has hardly left the hospital since Jayde was born.
Spencer's POV
Spoby's wedding day - August 1st
It was finally here. My wedding day. Toby and I had only been planing this for 2 months. We never would have been able to plan it all if we didn't have help from my friends and family. Toby and I were getting married in my parents backyard. We were having the reception here as well. Toby and I were also having an after party at the brew for our close friends only. It was a noon wedding so the after party would be around 5 PM or so.
Thankfully all of our wedding guests arrived on time. Aria seemed like she maybe got a little bit of sleep last night but she still looked tired. Toby seemed a little to happy that Wren wasn't in town for the wedding. The wedding ceremony started on time. Caleb is Toby's best man and Hanna is my maid of honer. It's a good thing they were friends with benefits and they still cared about each other so it didn't have to be awkward. We said our vows and now it was time for the I do's.
(You might get a flashback to the vows at a later time)
"Do you Toby Cavanaugh take Spencer Hastings to be your wife?" He asked
"I do" Toby said
"Do you Spencer Hastings take Toby Cavanaugh to be your husband?" He asked
"I do" I said
We did the rings and now it was time to kiss
"Toby you may now kiss the bride." He said
Toby kissed me. It was a romantic kiss. I wanted it to last longer but considering our friends and family were watching us that's all the kissing we would do until later. The wedding reception was nice but I would have rather skipped it for alone time with my husband.
A few hours later the reception was over. My parents didn't know that Toby and I were having a private party at the Brew. Toby and I invited Aria's friend to the party so she didn't feel left out. We ran into a problem when Aria saw Ezra. Luckily Ezra was talking to a worker so he didn't see Aria.
"Help me." Aria said
"What's wrong?" I asked
"You invited Ezra, how could you do this to me?" Aria asked
"Aria, I didn't invite him and neither did Toby." I said
"Then why is Ezra here? You know I have been avoiding him because I don't want him knowing about Jayde and I still have a small pregnancy belly since it has only been a week." Aria said
"Ezra owns the Brew." Toby said
"Since when because when we broke up he was still a teacher at Rosewood high?" Aria said
"Ezra has owned the Brew for almost 6 months now." Toby said
"I can't be here with Ezra in the same building." Aria said
"Toby, would you take Aria upstairs to our loft?" I asked
"Why would I do that?" Toby asked
"Toby, when your wife asks you to do something you do it without asking her questions first." I said
"Only because I love you so much. This is also my party Spence." Toby said
"Maybe then Aria could actually get some decent sleep." I said
Toby took Aria upstairs to the loft and he was back minutes later.
"Is Aria here?" Ezra asked
"No, she wasn't feeling good so she went home after the wedding." I said
"What's wrong? If you talk to Aria then tell her I hope she feels better." Ezra said
"She will. Aria just has girl things going on right now." Toby said
"Toby seriously, Ezra didn't need to know that." I said
"I feel really bad for how Aria and I ending things and if she's still hurting I want to make her feel better." Ezra said
"Aria, doesn't want to see you. She has been through a lot and you need to respect that." Toby said
"Spencer if you could just talk to Aria and get her to let me explain." Ezra said
"I can try but I don't want you hurting Aria anymore then you already did." I said
"I wanted to give this to you and Toby as a wedding gift." Ezra said
Ezra handed a check to Toby.
"We can't except this." Toby said
"Toby, it's a wedding gift. We can't give it back to him." I said
"I don't need his money." Toby said
"Thanks Ezra. $2,000 is a generous gift. I'm sure Toby is surprised." I said
"Your welcome and don't use it all on a honeymoon." Ezra said
"Toby and I are not even sure if we want to go on a honeymoon. We have been thinking about saving the money up for our future life together." I said
"Spencer just wants to move out of the loft but I'm not ready to let that place go yet." Toby said
Our night went well except for that conversation with Ezra. After every said there goodbye's Toby and I went upstairs to the lost. Since Aria was asleep in our bed Toby and I slept on the couch. We had a make out session and a little more before we fell asleep Toby and I had a conversation. We stayed as quiet as possible because we didn't want to wake Aria up.
"Are you going to play the wife card all the time?" Toby asked
"No but I can imagine you will play the husband card on me at some point in our marriage." I said
"How does it feel to be Spencer Cavanaugh?" Toby asked
"Not sure since we have barley been married for one day." I said
"Sleep on it and let me know in the morning once you have thought about it." Toby said
General POV
The Next Morning - August 2nd
Toby and I woke up cuddled together on the couch. Aria was still asleep so we let her sleep until she woke up on her own.
"How did you sleep?" Toby asked
"Better then I have slept in a long time. You have a comfortable bed by the way. I hope you two didn't mind the couch that much" Aria said
"No, you needed the sleep and the couch was perfectly fine for us." Spencer said
"I actually think I need a break from the hospital for one more day." Aria said
"Well I'm sure you and Spence would love to have a girls day. Aria remember it's Sunday and Spencer's husband also known as me would love to spend the day with her." Toby said
"We won't be gone all day I promise. Aria can go to the Rosewood Community Recreation center and take a Zumba and Yoga class with me. I still have a few more of Emily's classes to be the fill in teacher for." Spencer said
"You girls have fun and Spence I will see you later." Toby said
Aria called Jake to check in with him and tell him her plans for the day. Jake was fine with it because he was going to be at the hospital for part of the day and then he had plans with friends later but Aria would be back at the hospital by then.
Spencer and Aria had fun at the community rec. center for a few hours. Spencer took Aria back to the hospital to be with Jayde before going back to her and Toby's loft to spend the rest of the day with him.
Long chapter but I think it was good enough for a first chapter. This chapter was mostly about Spoby and their wedding. The next chapter will be more about Hanna. Spencer, Toby, and Caleb will help her move to NYC. Hanna will make a new friend named Chelsea and she will have a 3 month old daughter named Kelsey.
Thank you for reading. Reviews would be great as well.
If you are not a fan of long chapters I would like you to know that most chapters will be shorter.
