She Doesn't Remember

Chapter 5

Spencer's POV

I couldn't control myself any longer. I balled my eyes out while Toby held me. We sat like that for a couple minutes, until I calmed down. "How much?" I asked, it felt really weird to ask that. "Three." Toby said. "What are the names? How old are they? Are they boys or girls?" I summed up. "I wonder if you can guess it." Toby said with a smile. "The first child, can you guess it?". I thought for a moment. "The first is a girl." I decided. "And her name is Marion Emily Cavanaugh." I said to him "So close!" He laughed. "Her name is Hayden Marion Cavanaugh." He told me. "Hayden Marion." I repeated. "It's a beautiful name." I said. "You chose her name." He said. "I did?".  "Yeah, can you guess the second child?" He asked. "Of course I can. The second is boy, his name James Daniel Cavanaugh." I told him. "No, no not really. He is a boy but his name is Joshua Neville Cavanaugh." He said. "So the third kid is a boy too. And his name is Joaquin Giovanni Cavanaugh." I said. Toby laughed. "Well? Is it right?" I asked. "Who knows." He said. "Toby?" I asked. He laid his hand on my stomach. "What does that mean, I'm I? Is this real?!" I sort of shouted-asked. "Hmhm." Toby said. I laid my hand on my forehead, sighed an smiled. "For how long?" I asked putting my hand over Toby's. "4 months, the calculated due date is April 14th." Toby said. "Can I see them? Hayden and Joshua?" I begged. "They're at Jenna's now bu-"  "Jenna's?!" I interrupted "Why is a blind person taking care of my children?" I asked in disgust. "She had surgery, she isn't blind anymore and you actually like her now." He said. "I do? Do I like her?" I asked with widened eyes. "Yes, she's crazy about Hayden and Joshua. She's a real sweet aunt." He explained. "How old are they?"
"Hayden's three and Josh one." He said. The bracelets. "Are they perhaps born, on 18-01-18 and 30-03-20? " Toby raised his eyebrows. "How did you know that, do you remember?" He wondered. "No, the silver bracelets." I explained. "Owh, yeah." He said. I removed my hand from Toby's and pushed myself up so I was sitting and folded up my legs. I patted on the space beside me and Toby took place beside me. I grabbed the plastic bag and turned it over. I grabbed the necklace with the scrabble S charm.  "How did I get this necklace?" I asked while Toby put hie arm around my shoulders. "I gave it to you. The scrabble S because of the Scrabble dates I told you about." He said. He took it from my hands and closed the clip behind my neck. "It's so cute." I said. He smiled and kissed my forehead.  I picked the engagement ring. "How did you propose?" I asked. "During a picnic in the park. Just us two." He said. I took the golden wedding ring in my other hand and looked at them both. "It's kinda weird. Being married to you I mean." I said. "Do you want a divorce?" He joked. "No, I want to be married to you." I answered seriously. I slid the engagement ring on my right ring finger and the wedding ring on my left ring finger. I grabbed the phone. "No, battery charge." I said. "There is one in the bag I brought you." He said getting up to get the bag. I handed him the phone so he could put him on the charger. I watched him while he did. He was so good looking me eyes didn't seem to be able to stop watching him. Suddenly I felt like kissing him. He sat back beside me and I stared at him. He smiled. "What?" He asked. I couldn't ignore the desperate urge to kiss him anymore. I leaned in and kissed him full on the mouth. He froze in surprise at first, but kissed me back gently. He stopped kissing me and hugged me instead. I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck. He pulls me close and buries his face in my hair. Warmth radiates from the spot where his lips just touch my neck, slowly spreading through the rest of me. It feels good, so impossibly good, that I know I will not be the first to let go. And why should I?
