Law School Decision

A/N: For this story I'm currently in the year 2018  

Toby's POV

*Sunday April 15th*

Spencer and I are on our way to LAX for a flight from LA to Chicago. We left Mackenzie in the trusted care of our friends for the week. Spencer had gotten into both University of Chicago and U Penn Law school. Spencer had been to U Penn before because that's where her sister graduated from but she had never been to University of Chicago before.

 It was a 4 hour flight to Chicago. We were leaving LAX at noon and would be landing in Chicago by 6 pm central time. Spencer was only going to be on campus for 2 days. We decided to stay a week so we could get some sightseeing in and also look for an apartment to live in if we do end up moving to Chicago.

"I hope Mackenzie does fine with not seeing us all week." Spencer said

"I'm sure she will be fine. We have trusting friends who will take care of her for us." I said

"She's so young and I just feel like leaving her is a bad idea." Spencer said

"It's a week Spencer and Mackenzie is a year and a half so she isn't going to remember this years from now." I said

"My parents used to leave Melissa and I with our grandparents a lot. I don't want to be like that Toby." Spencer said

"We are not going to be those parents Spence." I said

"You could have stayed in LA with Mackenzie." Spencer said

"Then I would be leaving you alone for an entire week in a big city that you have never been to." I said

"I'm 22 Toby not 12." Spencer said

"Spence, I told you that by going with you we can look for somewhere to live and I need to visit Chicago PD to get the transfer paperwork started." I said

"If I had just gotten into UCLA law then we would even have to be discussing this right now." Spencer said

"I wanted to know why you didn't get in so I talked to the dean of admissions at UCLA. I found out that it was because of Andrew setting you up for the bomb threat plus all the time off you had before and after having Mackenzie." I said

"I didn't ask you to do that Toby." Spencer said and she didn't seem happy.

"Don't get mad at me Spence." I said

"I'm not mad at you Toby but if I wanted to know I would have asked the dean of admissions at UCLA myself." Spencer said

We finally got on the plane after waiting at LAX for almost 3 hours since the flight had been delayed 1.5 hours due to weather somewhere between LA and Chicago. Spencer put her head on my shoulder and slept for more then half of the flight. 

The first thing we did in Chicago was eat dinner.

"Spence, are you feeling alright?" I asked

"Yes Toby I'm feeling great." Spencer said

"I was just asking because you don't seem to have much of an apatite." I said

"I'm just tired and not that hungry." Spencer said

"You slept on the plane Spencer and you are still tired." I said

"I hardly slept last night. I was up with Mackenzie half the night." Spencer said

"You could have woken me up Spencer." I said

"I didn't want to because you worked late yesterday." Spencer said
