Before Ever After ~ SPOBY

"Maybe we're not ready for this."

Everyone thinks
That we're perfect,
Please don't let them
Look through the curtain

"Um, so, does that influence your decision?" Izzy asked as she sat at a coffee shop with Spencer.

"Does what influence my decision?" Spencer asked.

"What your mom said."

"Oh." Spencer realized. "Well, yes, of course. She's mom, I constantly want to please her. But then I think about the other options and I don't want to be pregnant. Maybe later, but not now."

Izzy nodded. "Maybe you're not ready for this."

"If everyone waited until they're ready then no one would ever do anything," a familiar voice said, causing the couple to instantly look up from their drinks.

"Alison?" Spencer asked, as she stared into the eyes of the blonde.

"In the flesh." She pulled up a chair and sat down. "So, what are you guys not ready for? I missed that part."

"Nothing." Spencer answered quickly. "Just, uh, redecorating our dorm room. By the way, Alison meet Izzy. Izzy meet Alison."

"Ah." Alison ate it up, ignoring the introduction to Izzy. "Well, I don't really think it would make any sense to re paint. Maybe some pictures? No paintings."

"Of course. That makes sense." Spencer quickly glanced at Izzy who was nodding at Alison.

Spencer was grateful that she understood she didn't want to tell anyone she was pregnant yet.

"Oh, I gotta run!" Alison cursed, checking the clock on her phone. "I got an intern position at a school near here,"

"Bye!" Spencer called as Alison clicked her heels out of the coffee shop.

"So, you're not telling anyone then." Izzy stated.

"No," I agreed. "Not yet."

"Well, if we are re-decorating she has a point. My moms a photographer, she can set us up with cheap ones."
