Be My Forever [COMPLETE]

Chapter 85

"That's not possible." I say, more confused than I've ever been in my life.

How could I be pregnant?! They told me that it would be impossible for me to have kids. I cried for days over it. That's why we adopted Valerie. That's why Aria offered to carry her for us. And it was all false?

"We'll run a couple more tests if you'd like us to," the doctor continued. I agreed almost immediately.

-:-

Every test came back positive.

I'm pregnant.

Toby and I were shocked at first, but as soon as we got home, we practically celebrated.

"I can't believe this!" Toby exclaimed, picking me up and spinning me around.

"Me neither," I said as soon as he put me down, "but how is this possible?"

"Call it a miracle," Toby said, then proceeding to kiss me on the cheek.

"Tobes," I said, "I want to keep an eye on it. They said I couldn't carry kids. What if this just turns into a horrible miscarriage?"

"Don't say that," Toby said, pulling me closer to him. I know he didn't want to say it out loud, but I know he was thinking it. "Everything is going to be fine." He said as we both sat on the couch.

"Can we please just keep a close eye on it? I don't want anything going wrong." I asked.

"Of course." Toby said, kissing my cheek again.

Toby left to go pick up Valerie from daycare, and I called Aria. She may live three thousand miles away, but she's still my best friend.

"Hey, Spencer! It's so great to hear from you!" Her happy and joyful voice exclaimed.

"Hey Aria, there's something I need to tell you." I said.

"Really? Me too! I was going to call you this weekend actually,"

"Well, I just found out, so I'm going to go ahead and say it. I'm pregnant!" I exclaimed.

"Seriously?" Aria asked. She sounded like she had been thrown off guard.

"Yeah, seriously!" I exclaim, "how what did you want to tell me?"

"Well, it's a funny story actually... I'm pregnant too!"

-:-

"Do you think Aria's trying to one-up me?" I asked Toby as we were getting ready for Melissa's wedding.

"Why do you think that?" Toby asked, adjusting his tie.

"Well, when she was going on and on about her pregnancy, she was exaggerating everything, and she seemed so happy. Nobody is that happy when they're pregnant."

"Spence, not everyone experiences things the same way."

"And she said she's having twins. Doesn't that sound like she's one-upping me?"

"Spencer, she can't control that. And besides, she lives all the way in California. Why does this matter?"

"It doesn't. It just seemed strange." I said, struggling to zip up my dress.

"Is Valerie ready yet?" Toby asked, making his way towards me to help me zip up my dress.

"No, she's still asleep." I said once my dress was fixed.

"Could you wake her up? We have to leave in an hour."

"Why are you being so bossy?" I asked. I had no idea where my random remark came from, but I didn't take it back.

"What are you talking about?" Toby asked, obviously confused.

"You're ordering me around like I'm some 1950's housewife or something!"

"Spencer, calm down. You're probably just being hormonal right now-"

That was it. That was the trigger. I grabbed my things and stormed out of the room, making no effort to apologize or make up with Toby.

-:-

"You're going to have to talk eventually." Toby said in the car.

Silence.

"I know you're angry right now, and I'm sorry if I said anything that made you angry."

More silence.

"Mama!" Valerie exclaimed in the backseat. Since she first said it, she's been saying "mama" or "mommy" non-stop.

"I love you." Toby said to me as we pulled into the parking lot of the venue.

Silence.

I left the car, making my way to the venue, not stopping to check on Toby or stopping to let them catch up. I was walking away as fast as my heels would let me.

-:-

Melissa looked gorgeous, and she seemed so happy with Derek. Happier than I've ever seen her. When the ceremony ended and people were making their way to the party, Toby asked me if I was okay. I was still angry at him, though there was really no reason to be angry. Toby was right, I was being hormonal. But for some reason, I would never admit that he was right.

During dinner, I had the overwhelming urge to vomit. I didn't want to steer attention away from Melissa by announcing my pregnancy, so I had to be as discrete as possible. I made my way to the bathroom, hoping nobody was in there, and I threw up.

But what I didn't see was that Toby had followed me.

"Babe, are you okay?" Toby asked from the other side of the door.

"I'm fine." I said in between hurls.

Toby came in, and I felt so terrible. I hate it when he sees me like this. I'm probably the most unattractive person at this party right now. My face was pale, and I had some puke on the corner of my mouth.

"I'm sorry," I said, "for being so hormonal and bitchy."

"It's okay. But if this is going to happen every day, this is going to be a long nine months." He said, causing me to laugh. I got up, cleaned myself up, and we made our way back to the party.
