Be My Forever [COMPLETE]

Chapter 114

"Oh my god!" I said out loud. Toby and I have been wanting this for so long. This is our chance. Our chance to have another baby.

"The agency wants us to meet with them next Thursday... Do you think that'll work out?" He asked. Thursday. I don't need to do anything except work on Thursday.

"Of course it will! Oh my god!" I said again, then running into my husband's arms.

"How's the article coming along?" My boss asked as she passed my desk. The thought of Valerie and Claire having a new baby brother made my heart race. I felt happier than ever, even at the job that I hate.

"It's going very well." I said, snapping out of my daydreams.

"Well, you're going to have to present your work next Thursday at the meeting with Antoinette Steele from Milan. She's very interested in your work, as well. We're all counting on you, Spencer. You might just be the best thing to ever happen to Vogue."

My heart stopped. I was finally going somewhere! To think, people all the way from Italy are going to come here to see my work.

"Thank you, I won't let you down." I promised her. I watched her walk away, and then it hit me. Anna said the meeting would be next Thursday. That's the same day of the meeting with the adoption agency. I can't just bail on Toby... But I can't give up on my job either.

-:-

"Spencer, I don't think you realize how important this is. Even if we don't end up adopting him, he still needs a home. You can't just bail on him." Toby said to me. That night, after the girls went to sleep, I told him about my meeting.

"But Toby, you don't understand me. This is my job were talking about." I said, trying to defend myself.

"Yeah, the job that you hate."

"Stop turning this on me. I'm coming to you for advice and all you've been doing is scolding me!"

Toby covered his face with his hands in frustration, then running them through his light brown hair. "I'm sorry." He said, "I'll see if we can reschedule the meeting, but it's doubtful."

"Toby, I love you." I said. I always feel like I never tell him that enough. He's worked so hard to make sure we're all happy. I don't appreciate that enough.

"I love you, too." He said, kissing my forehead.

We then proceeded to go to bed, with Valerie waking us up a few times.

I kept thinking about the conflicting events. Maybe Toby could go to the meeting alone? After all, he is a better parent than me.
