Before Ever After ~ SPOBY

"I don't know. Things have changed."

Just a touch of your love
Is enough to take control
Of my whole body,
Just a touch

Spencer's thought that 10 hours alone in the car with Toby would be easy. Not so much.

It's not that Spencer's and Toby hadn't been intimate or hadn't talked, they just never had that spark that was there before Spencer decided not to keep it. They didn't argue and they didn't tease each other or make jokes. They just enjoyed each other's company which wasn't bad but try both wanted more.

Spencer's inhaled, sharply, causing Toby to look over from the drivers seat.

"What's up?"

Spencer's shook her head. "Nothing."

"You look like you need to say something." Toby urged.

She shrugged very clipped. "Nope."

Toby exhaled a short breath and turned back to facing the wheel.

"Why don't we talk anymore?" Toby asked, not turning to face her.

Spencer quickly glanced up at him and then back to her nails which she was picking away because of nerves. "We do talk."

Toby snorted. "We don't and you know it."

Spencer shrugged. "Maybe you've just been distant."

"I have not been distant." Toby stated angrily, turning and looking at her. "You've been distant."

"I have not been distant." Spencer said also looking at him. "I don't know, things have changed."

"Yeah," Toby agreed quietly not meeting her eyes.

There was a long pause where one question swirled in Spencer's mind but she unable to ask it out loud.

"I don't," Spencer started, her voice bringing Toby's eyes to her face. "I don't want you to be with me because of the baby,"

Toby's expression was one of hurt and a little anger. "I'm not with you because of the baby."

"Your not?" Spencer ask weekly. "It's ok if you are. I don't blame you."

Toby shook his head. "I'm with you because I love you, Spencer. I'm not planning on stoping any time soon so looks like your stuck with me."

Spencer smiled and chuckled to herself. "I love you, too."
