One And Done: Spoby One Shots

Always (Alt. Ending for 7x20)

So since Spoby got royally screwed out of an on screen happy ending, I decided to write my own.....enjoy!

As the cop finally cuffed Alex, Spencer's twin, Toby looked at Spencer sobbing. He put his arms around her hugging her tight.

"I'm sorry she did this to you" Spencer sobbed "all of you"

"Let's get out of here" Caleb said as he and Emily helped support Ezra.

Toby still held Spencer as they walked through the bunker. When they came out into the house Spencer stopped to look around. This was the house Toby had built for her. A million discussions about their future home came to mind. He had done it all. For her.

She began sobbing all over again and Toby brought her down to the couch pulling her completely into his lap.

"Don't cry baby" Toby said kissing her forehead.

Out of the corner of his eye he could see Alex in the doorway looking at them. He refused to look in her direction as he cradled Spencer.

"That's what true love looks like Alex" Mona said as they cop finally dragged her out.

Toby motioned for the group to leave, desperate to have some alone time. He had wanted Spencer back but not like this.

"I'm sorry I didn't know. I should have known."

"Is it really over?" She cried echoing the question she had asked him six years ago after Charlotte had gone to Wellby.

"Yes sweetheart, it's really over" Toby replied.

Finally Toby scooped up Spencer and proceeded to carry her toward the door. Toby looked around the home he had built for Spencer. He had hoped to one day carry her over the threshold into the house not out of it.

"It's a beautiful house, Tobes" Spencer said putting her hand on his cheek.

Toby knew they both had a lot to talk about but he could tell that Spencer wasn't ready.

Toby took Spencer back to the barn and they both eventually passed out.

The next morning Spencer woke up to the smell of breakfast. She got out of bed and padded into the kitchen seeing Toby at the stove.

"Breakfast will be done in a minute" Toby said with half a smile.

"Thank you, this is so nice of you" she said as she cautiously sat at the counter waiting for the inevitable battering of questions that Toby had to have.

"Are you still up for some horseback riding today?" Toby asked once the food was on plates at the counter.

"Yeah, of course" she said as she began eating.

"Maybe while we're out we can talk?" He offered.  Spencer just nodded.

Spencer and Toby headed over to the stables after breakfast, prolonging their talk for as long as possible.

After falling off the horse twice, Toby got the hang of riding and soon Spencer was leading them along a trail.

Spencer told Toby about Archer, the freaky conception of Ali and Emily's twins, the board game and everything she had learned about Alex, Wren, and Charlotte down in the bunker.

"So a year ago up at my cabin?" Toby trailed off.

"That was Alex" Spencer said sadly.

"And the other night after the rehearsal dinner?" Toby said tears pooling in his eyes.
