He is My Best Friend

A/N: For this story I'm currently in the year 2017

*Saturday August 12th*

Toby's POV

I was working at LAPD but not until tonight. I am working on something special for Caleb. Hanna knows about it but she is trying hard not to tell Caleb. I am building a crib and changing table for Hanna and Caleb's baby girl. Spencer and I were up late last night watching a movie so she was still sleeping when I got up. The house was quiet so Hanna and Caleb must still be sleeping.

Later in the morning Spencer walked into the room with 9.5 month old Mackenzie in her arms.

"So this is what's been keeping you so busy when you are not working Toby." Spencer said

"Yes, I'm just helping out a friend." I said

"I'm glad that you care so much about Caleb but why didn't you just go to IKEA and buy the crib plus the changing table?" Spencer asked

"Why would I go to IKEA when I know how to build the baby crib and changing table?" I asked

"Knowing how to build the crib and changing table didn't keep you from buying them for Mackenzie at IKEA." Spencer Yelled

"Spence, I would have loved to build the crib and changing table for Mackenzie but last year I was really busy with LAPD so I didn't have the time to make them myself." I said

"You lied to me about it Toby. I should have said something to you a long time ago but I kept quiet because I didn't want to start a fight." Spencer Yelled

"No use fighting now because that doesn't change anything." Toby said

"Toby, You are making me feel like you care a lot more about Caleb then you do about me." Spencer said

"Spence, I don't ever want you to feel that way. You know I love you Spencer but Caleb is my best friend." I said

"I get that Caleb is your best friend but what about us?" Spencer asked

"Spence, It doesn't change anything for us. You have your best friends and I have Caleb plus my other friends." I said

"One day several months ago Caleb and I were talking and we ---" Spencer said

I didn't let her finish the sentence because I didn't want to hear Spence say she kissed Caleb.

"I want every single gift back that I ever gave you and that includes both the engagement and wedding ring." I yelled

"Toby, it's not what you think?" Spencer yelled

"Spencer, Tell me you didn't kiss Caleb because that's what I really need to hear." I yelled

"Caleb and I almost kissed but I stopped him." Spencer said

"An almost kiss only makes things a little bit better. Spence, please explain to me how you and Caleb almost kissed." I said

"This happened back when Caleb thought something was going on between Hanna and Jason again. Caleb wanted to know what it was like to kiss a friend and he wanted that friend to be me. We were about to kiss and I told Caleb I didn't want to kiss him because it would feel like I was cheating on you." Spencer said

"Did Caleb end up kissing one of your friends?" I asked

"Caleb kissed Aria and that's why Aria has been trying to avoid him for months. Hanna knows about this kiss but I don't think Ezra knows so you can't tell him." Spencer said

"Why didn't you tell me this months ago so we could have avoided the fight we just had?" I asked

"I was scared that you wouldn't believe me Toby if I told you Caleb and I almost kissed. I didn't realize until today that I couldn't keep a secret anymore." Spencer said

"Spence, you and I don't do secrets. Secrets cause more harm then good and you know that." I said

"I'm so sorry that I didn't tell you sooner Toby." Spencer said

"If your not doing anything important and you want to help me then I wouldn't mind the help." I said

"I'm going to feed Mackenzie and eat something myself. Then I should take a shower but after that I can help you." Spencer said

Spencer didn't know much about building things but I loved teaching her. we spent the next couple hours working on the crib and changing table. In those few hours I finished them but I probably still wouldn't of if it hadn't been for Spencer. Spencer had to check on Mackenzie a few times because she was awake and wanting attention. 

Spencer and I decided to go out for a dinner date so we called Emily over to the house so she could watch Mackenzie while we were away from home.

"My dad called me earlier but I haven't had a chance to call him back yet." I said

"What did he want?" Spencer asked

"You always seem to know when he wants something from me." I said

"I just guessed because you don't normally tell me when your dad calls." Spencer said

"I told you this time because we need to be completely honest with each other. My dad's a little behind on his bills and he wants me to loan him some money." I said

"Are you going to give him some money?" Spencer asked

"I'm still thinking about it so that's why I didn't call him back yet. I was hoping to go on vacation somewhere with you and Mackenzie in the next few months. If I give money to my dad then that vacation will most likely have to wait until he pays me back." I said

"Family helps family so I can do without a vacation in order to help your dad out." Spencer said

"You would really do that for my dad Spence?" I asked

"Yes, I may have grown up with rich parents who would buy me just about everything that I asked for but that didn't make me a person who only cared about myself and not others." Spencer said

"I love you so much Spencer." I said

"I love you Toby." Spencer said

Spencer and I had a nice dinner date. After dinner I drove her back to the house in LA. I stayed for a little while but then I had to leave for my LAPD shift.

On Sunday afternoon I called my dad back and told him that I could give him some money but it was a loan so I needed to be payed back over time.

Thoughts on this chapter?

Next chapter will be September. Ideas for the next chapter would be great. Haleb's baby will be born in the next chapter

What do you think will happen next: for Spoby? for Haleb? for Ezria? for Emison? for Jason/Kayla?

Any other ideas?

What characters should have scenes together?

Who should be involved in a love triangle? I already have two possible love triangles. Jason, Hanna, Caleb (Will end with Haleb) and Wren, Spencer, Toby (Will end with Spoby). The Love Triangles are only for the drama.
