You're Marrying The Wrong Person

A break in

Spencer's POV

When I got home from shopping with Hanna and the girls, I put my bag and keys down on the table in my parents kitchen and there is a note taped to the table.

"Spencer

Gone out for dinner with Adam
We will be back home soon

Lots of love

Mom, dad and Melissa. Xxx"

Great time to myself for once, since Toby and Hanna had been planning thier weddings it's been all hands on deck and I've not had a moment to myself.
Adam is adorable don't get me wrong and I'm glad I have him since I no longer have Toby but I've just had no sleep.
Being a single parent is harder than it looks, Toby had always been thier whenever I needed him and my roomate Erica used to help back when  we were in college but this time Toby is getting married and Erica is miles away in California.

I pulled a blanket over me when I sat on the sofa and tried to sleep.

I was in a deep sleep when I heard a smash of glass, when I opened my eyes one of the doors outscurting the room had been broken.

"Hello?"

A shadow crossed the wall, I ran for my phone from the table and dialed Toby's number.
I didn't intended to dial his number but he was on speed dial.

"Toby?" I panicked
"Spence what's wrong?"
"There's someone in the house, I'm scared they broke the window I don't know what to do!!!" I ramble quickly hoping he will understand me.

I look around for a weapon and I see kitchen knives, grabbing one I hear Toby's calming voice.

"Spence I'm leaving my house now I'll be there in five minuets just say hidden."

I take Toby's advice and hide by the counter near enough to the door so Toby is able to see me.

Toby's POV

I was just at home finishing up some of the new house when my phone started buzzing. It was Spencer. She was scared because someone had broken in, I rushed out to my car not even bothering to leave Yvonne a note since she wasn't home and sped down to Spencer's.

When I got there one of the doors was smashed in, I carefully stepped over the glass with my gun and flashlight in hand.

"Spencer?" I wisper.

I see her stand up from behind be counter, she a knife in her hand and relief crosses her face when he she sees me.

"Get behind me."

She walks over to me and stands behind me.

"Thank you for coming."
"Hey I would always come and I've called for back up."

Spencer stayed glued to my back the entire search of the house but there was no one to be seen.

The police showed up a few minutes later, they did a full search but the person was out of sight.

I let the police out and decided to stay longer with Spencer since she was pretty shaken up.

I poured her a glass of water and walked over to the couch.

"Here small sips" her shaking hands reached up to grab the glass.

"Thanks."

I pulled a blanket around her shoulders and sat down.

"I was so sure someone was in here."

"There's signs of a break in, so someone definitely did but the police think it was probably some kid. The house was dark they probably thought no one was home."

"I can't thank you enough for coming."

"Anytime Spence you know that."

She leaned her head in my neck and my arm fell to her waist.

"My parents should be home soon."
"Do you want me to leave?"
"No"

Spencer's voice was soft and her small frame fits perfectly next to mine, like a jigsaw puzzle.

Things with Yvonne have been so different, it's easy but with Spencer it's hard work but that's what made everything so special.

It's sounds strange but there was nothing more romantic than trapping A, failing and then having to sweep Spencer off her feet just to save our relationship.

"You know, it's hard to believe that we started getting along seven years ago."

"Yeah you're right, C'est dommage.(it's what they say to each other when she tutors him for French in 1x16)"

"c'est la guerre"

We both giggle still in the same position.

Just then Spencer's parents, Melissa and Adam enter the room, confused as to why things have been tapped up and fixed.

"What happened in here?" Veronica puts Adam down on the ground and he runs over to me and Spencer.

"Mamma dadda."
"Hey buddy"

Spencer picks Adam up and puts him on my lap so she can go and explain to her parents what has happened.

"So did you have dinner with grandma and Grandad and Auntie Melissa?"
"Yeah Awntie Melissa made me laugh."
"Aww I bet she's really funny."

Adam was still holding his tatty green dinosaur as well as his new one Hanna had bought him just before he ran away.

"Have you thought of a name for your new dinosaur?"
"No, you name him dadda."
"Um okay how about Mr Goofball, I think mummy will find it funny."

Adam ran up to Spencer, tugging at her leggings. I followed wanting to hear what she said.

"Dadda named my dinoswar."

"Really? What's he called?"
Spencer pretended to be excited for Adams benefit.

"Mr goofball." She looked up at me with a smile, Spencer then picked Adam up and put him on the kitchen counter so he was to her level.

"Do you remember when I told you about mine and Daddy's board game that we liked to play?"

"Yes you become fwends and dadda won but you told me that he cheated."

Spencer's smile faded and she started acting shifty.

"What no! No I didn't no."

"Spencer Hastings just can't admit defeat can she?"

Mr Hastings puts his hands on her shoulders.

"That's our girl eh Toby?"

"Yeah"

That's our girl.

"And you said you thought dadda was pwetty."

"Okay Adam that's enough."

Spencer held him close to her making sure he wouldn't say anymore.

Spencer blushed.

"I think someone needs to go to bed."
