EPILOGUE
The last few months had been really hard on them both. The fourth month of Spencer's pregnancy they discovered 2 things. One their baby was going to be a girl. Second if they decided to keep the baby Spencer's life would be in danger. The first time she was pregnant she had an internal bleeding because of all the stress, which caused damages in her womb.
If Spencer would give birth to the most beautiful baby girl on earth, she could die. After Toby had heard this he was devastated. He had told her that they couldn't keep the baby, not if it meant losing her. This fight went on for another week, when Spencer finally decided that she wasn't giving up on their little miracle. Not this time, not again.
They went from talking to barely looking at each other. The decision Spencer made destroyed Toby, but who could blame him? Nobody wants to lose the love of his or her life. She hadn't looked into his beautiful eyes in oh so long. She hadn't touched him in so long. In this little but cozy house they were a thousand miles apart. Of course Toby wouldn't let her carry heavy things or let her clean the house. But it wasn't like it used to be. They weren't like they used to be.
Spencer placed her hand on her big stomach. She was looking out of the window when she heard Toby walk inside. They were like strangers. The bell rang exactly 2 times. Spencer walked to the door, her hand supporting her back. " Hi " Spencer smiled when she saw Jason and Aria. Jason bent down and touched her stomach.
" How's my favorite nephew doing? "
" She's perfectly fine " Spencer moved her body so they could come in. "How are you? " Aria asked. She knew what was going on. Everyone knew. The couple that conquered everything was now apart.
" Not so great " she sighed.
Jason and Aria sat down on the big red 'L' shaped couch. Spencer walked into the kitchen and poured water into the kettle.
" I'll do it " Toby said when he saw that she was going to prepare some tea. " H-How… How long are you not going to touch me? Or even look at me? " Spencer stuttered. It was killing her. He didn't answer her. He grabbed the tea out of the cupboard. " I-I can't – I can't do this, Toby. You've left me alone in this. I didn't do anything wrong. " She searched for supported on the kitchen dresser.
" Spence-" The way he said her name made her shiver.
" No, I can't. You would have done the same if you were me. " She tried to keep the tears away. She turned around and faced him.
" I love you and nothing could change my decision. Our decision. " She grabbed his hand and put it on her belly. He looked into her eyes and then pulled his hand away." I can't love something that is going to get you killed. " Spencer shook her head slowly still trying to fight the tears.
" Spence? " She heard Aria calling from the living room.
" yes? " Spencer asked.
" I think we should go. " She said and they both got up.
" Why? I was just making some tea. "
" you and Toby need to talk," Jason said and kissed her on the cheek.
" Take care of yourself. " She watched them leave. Toby walked into the living room. " I understand. I really do. You don't want to lose me, but you are just increasin the odds by acting like this. His gaze met hers.
" I can't just watch you die. I can't lose you. " he murmered under his breath.
She took his face between her hands.
" You won't. This is our child and you are going to love her more than you love me. "
Toby stepped back. He looked down to the ground.
" I get it. I'll raise my child alone. But if I survive this, don't come back to me. Because you left me when I needed you the most. " Her face was wet with emotion. Suddenly she felt like a thousand knifes stabbed her in her stomach. She screamed out of pain. Everything around her started to move. " Spencer! " Toby yelled and grabbed her just in time.
" Don't – Don't. " She said. Spencer closed her eyes and took deep breaths. " I'm fine. " She stuttered. She walked the stairs up to their room and lay down on the big bed, which she was sleeping in alone. The pillows and blankets had lost his smell. All she wanted to do was be with him., kiss him. But instead she cried herself to sleep.
The bedroom was dark and Spencer couldn't sleep anymore. After finally A had stopped threatening them she was still scared. The darkness was what scared her the most. And she was lying all alone in the king sized bed. The satin sheets felt so soft against her skin. All this time nothing could tear them apart. But now their own little piece of them has torn them apart. Spencer heard footsteps on the stairs. She quickly closed her eyes and rolled over on her left side. Her heart began to pund really fast. She could hear the door open. And a short minute later she could feel his warmth next to her. He pulled her into his arms. He pulled her home. He gently placed his hand on her stomach. His touch made her shiver like when he'd touched her for the first time.
" I love our baby. I was just stupidly selfish not to admit it. I am so selfish because I love you so much " he whispered. A tear escaped Spencer's eye. She turned around. " You need to promise me something. " She said sobbing. " If anything happens to me promise me that you'll take care of her-"
" Nothing is going to happen to you. I won't let anything happen."
" Toby, if. Just promise. "
" I promise. " He lay back down, resting Spencer's head on his bare chest. Playing with her brown curls. As like that they fell asleep, in each other's arms. Like they used to.
Spencer and Toby were sitting across of each other. Eating omelettes Toby had prepared. " We haven't thought about names you know " Spencer said while chewing a tomato. Toby nodded his head and put the glass of tea down. " Lisa? " Spencer shook her head quickly.
" Are you serious? I'm not naming my child Lisa. Not because it's not pretty but I want it to be a special name, a name that means something." They both thought for minutes. " My grandmother's name was Audrey. " Toby suddenly said.
" Hmm, mine was Jane. I know! Let's name our little girl Jane Audrey" Toby laughed. " How about Audrey Jane? " Spencer shook her head. They both got up. Toby wrapped his arms around his wife.
" What if we talked about this, later? I haven't kissed the most beautiful person on earth in a long time. " Spencer smiled. She could feel the warmth of his skin. The conncection between their lips made her shiver. As if he was kissing her for the first time all over again. Spencer clenched her eyes shut. Toby looked down to her thighs.
" Spence? " He panicked.
" I – I think. " She took a labored breath," the baby might be coming "
It had been over 3 hours that Spencer had been in the hospital. The doctors wouldn't say anything yet because of the condition she had. He knew just one thing for sure. Their little angel wasn't on the earth, yet.
Toby was walking circles in the hall. Aria and Jason had gone to get some coffee; they knew that this was going to be a long day.
Caleb and Hanna were trying to calm Toby down, sadly they couldn't succeed. Emily was working and they wouldn't let her go, she promised she'd come as soon as possible.
" Toby, come on. Calm down. Sit. " Hanna commanded. Toby started shaking his head vigorously. " My wife could be dying in there! How can you tell me to calm down? " Caleb got off her seat and put her arm on Toby's shoulder. " Hey, you both have been through a lot. And this isn't going to stop you from getting our happy ending. Hanna is right, calm down a little. "
Toby sighed. " Thanks, bro. " Hanna rolled with her her eyes. She could never really comfort persons in a situation where she was worrying till death. Her best friend was lying in a hospital bed. Giving birth that could be deadly, but she knew for sure that she could get through this. Spencer was strong. She was the srongest person she'd ever known. She was the person who was always there for her when she needed someone to talk to. She was the person who'd make her homework. Spencer was the person she could take answers from when she hadn't studied for a test. She was the most understanding person ever.
There accidentally slipped a tear from her eyes. She quickly whiped it away, so Toby wouldn't worry any more. Unless, Caleb who had already seen the tear. He wrapped his arms around her.
" Sssh, baby. It's okay. " Hanna rested her head on his shoulder.
" I know," She whispered quietly. Just then Jason and Aria came back with 5 coffees. " Here you go, " Jason said and gave the extra large to Toby. " Thanks, man. " Aria sat down next to Hanna. None of them said anything. They just waited for time to pass by. They waited for the doctor to tell them something more. But they never came.
A little 1 more hour later Emily had finally arrived. The three best friends were sitting on the ground. Trying to cheer each of them up. Caleb, Jason and Toby were sitting on the chairs. " You know it's going to be okay, right? " Jason cleared his throat. Toby removed his hands from his face. " It's been almost 5 hours, Jason. 5 hours –"
" So? " Jason interupted him. " Doesn't it always take so long? "
" What if something happens to her? " Emily said quietly. Aria slapped her thigh. " Stop talking. Go to the corner Emily. "
" Yes, Emily corner now! " Hanna pointed to the dark corner.
" Wait what? " Emily asked confused. " No negative thoughts. When you do think negative you'll get banned to the corner. " Aria tried to explain.
" When started we doing all of this? " Emily didn't understand any of it.
" Spencer, " Hanna and Aria both said at the same time.
" We were talking about her pregnancy 4/5 months ago. You were working, I guess," Hanna began. " She banned me and Aria to the corner too, because we weren't supposed to think negative. We promised not to, so she unbanned us. " Emily smiled, " That is so.."
" Spencer? " Aria completed her sentence. Emily started nodding her head. " Our Spencer, " Hanna whispered. It was then when they saw the doctor come to them. Toby rushed over to him and asked what was going on. " How's my wife? " Toby asked scared.
The doctor smiled, " Everything went great. You have a healty, beautiful little girl. " The doctor pased them by. Toby started laughing. He tried hard to keep the tears away. " I said it was going to be okay! " Jason laughed and put his on hos shoulder. The tree girl started screaming out of excitement. Tears come down rolling donw their faces. And the first thing they did was hug each other. " And that's why there's a corner, Emilly " Hanna said.
Toby was the first one allowed to go in. He took a few deep breaths before he did. His legs were shaking. He slowly pushed the door open. There they were. Spencer was lying in bed with the most beautiful girl on earth in her hands. There was a red ribbon in her hair.
" Hi, " Spencer whispered when she heard him come in. Toby stepped closer, until he could see the baby. Light brown hair with beautiful bright blue eyes. " She- She's beautiful " He kissed the top of the baby's head.
" It's ours, our beautiful little girl " Spencer smiled. Toby gently pressed his lips on hers. " I love you " He said and took the baby out of her hands. " I know the perfect name. " Spencer said and smiled at the view of her husband and baby. She had the same crystal blue eyes as her fathers. It was just like Spencer expected. " Which is? "
" Audrey Jane "
" What changed your mind? " He rocked the baby in his arms.
" You, " She whispered. " Audrey means staying strong, not giving up. And we've been strong all this time. " Toby put their little Audrey Jane into the crip next to the bed. He stroke her cheek. They didn't hear Aria, Hanna, Emily, Jason and Caleb coming in. " Wow, " Hanna said amazed. " That's my favorite cousin! " Jason said proud.
" We'll have one of those, someday " Aria whispered. Jason pulled her closer to his side. Emily played with the little fingers of the baby.
Caleb kissed the top of Hanna's head. This was their happy ending they had been waiting for since the day she was forced to break up with Toby. The day she'd told the lie that she'd cheated on him. The day she had shown up at his porch. And after everything thing they had been through, this was worth it.
