You're Marrying The Wrong Person

A change in plans

Spencer's POV

Today is Hanna's wedding and we are all rushing around making sure everything is perfect.

Aria was doing her hair, Mona was on make up, Emily was making sure Hanna had her flowers and Alison was prepping the bridesmaids dresses.
I however was in charge of the paige boy also known as my little boy Adam.

"Spence can you hand me that make up brush?"
I handed Mona the unicorn themed brush and went back to fixing Adams hair.

"Does Hanna really need all this make up?"
"Spencer this is my wedding I need to look flawless not like some ogre."
"I meant you don't need all this make up you look beautiful already."

"Oh well in that case thanks." Hanna beamed.

"Right Adams all done, I'll go down stairs to help your mom."

I pick Adam up and go to leave the room before Hanna interrupts me.

"Wait someone dropped this off for you."
She hands me a letter that has a first class stamp and a private and confidential stamp.

The return address is from my work office, the one I'm planning to return to come tomorrow morning.

"It's from work."

I rip it open curious as to why I've been sent this.

"What is it mama?"

I put Adam down and sit on a plush cousin seat in Hanna's old room.

"Spence are you okay?" Aria waves her hand in front of my eyes.

"I've been offered a new job." I smile while tears fall down my face, it doesn't happen to be any job but my dream.

"Congratulations." The girls squeal.

"There's only one problem."

I look at my five best friends and little boy, just managing to get the words out.

"It's in Paris."

"Spence that's amazing." Toby stands in the door way a drained expression from his face.

"Toby." I stand up

"Are you going to take it? I mean Paris is your dream."

"Um yeah I was but I can't with Adam, I can't keep him that far away from you."

He walks towards me and takes the letter out of my hand.

"It's your dream, traveling might cost a bit but I believe we can make it work."

"Toby I can't it's to far."

"I'm not going to be the one to stand in the way of your dreams."

I put on a fake smile and try to contain my slight dissapointment. Sure I want to go to Paris but it was what I pictured me and Toby doing and then starting a family. Obviously things change, we already have Adam and he's getting married to someone who's not me.

"When do you leave?"

I take the letter from Toby and reread it.

"23rd October."

"My wedding day."

"Yeah"

Toby sighs, I can tell that he's holding back some tears.

"Well now can you come to the wedding? Mine I mean."

I look down at my feet and once again at the letter.

"I leave at 4:30."

"Right, when the wedding ends."

"So I'll need to be at the airport by the time it starts."

Toby looks happy yet sad and excited yet nervous.

"I can come to the rehearsal dinner though and I'll leave Adam behind for the wedding."

"Yeah he can stay with us and then we can take him to Paris." Aria buts in

I completely forgot they were stood there.

"Thanks at least you don't have to leave today."

Toby turns to walk out the door but I stop him when he gets to the door frame, I run over to him and wrap my arms around him.

"Thank you, for letting me live my dream."

I feel his muscular arms reach round my petite body.

"Anytime Spence."

When I let go he leaves and Hanna squeals. She jumps out the chair and starts dancing to no music.

"Han what are you doing?"

Ali giggled looking at our crazy blonde friend, she stops and looks at all like we're stupid.

"Don't you get it? Toby is so going to stop Spence from getting on that plane."

"What? Han that's barbaric."

I chuckle.

"Really? Toby is going to stop Spencer I can feel it."

We all laugh at Hanna and Mona shoves her back in her chair.

"Come on we need to finish your make up."

"Okay now I'm going down stairs to help your mom."

"Okay Spence bye."
I wave goodbye to the girls and head down stairs to Hanna's kitchen.

Mrs Marin is trying to double check she has all the food along with the newest chief Holden, turns out he's multi talented.

"how's it going?"

Mrs Marin looked up, she was drained and look like she only had a few hours sleep.

"We're running behind schedule,  God Hanna's going to freak."

"It's okay we can do this, how can I help?"

"Ugh count the name tags for the table please thank you Spencer."

"You're welcome." I pick up the box with the name tags, sit at the table and start checking them off a list already prepared by Hanna.

*knock knock*

"That'll be the extra help can you get that Holden?"

When Holden opens the door my jaw drops, Mrs Marin as in Hanna's mother has asked her Ex boyfriend to help prepare her wedding.

Caleb.

"Mrs Marin I got your S.O.S. What's up?"

Mrs Marin looked flustered and she was getting faster as she moved around the kitchen.

"I need you to help with loading the car with the food."

Caleb walked over to her and stopped her from moving.

"Mrs Marin look at me, breathe one breath in and one breathe out."

Once she had done some breathing, she calmed down and was able to stay that way the entire time we were loading up the car.

"Thank you so much Caleb."

Mrs Marin hugged Caleb good bye before Hanna came down stairs and saw he was there.

Caleb started walking away before Ashley shouted after him.

"CALEB!!"

He turned around when he reached the other side if the road.

"Thank you, for everything."

"It was just loading up the car."

"No, not that for being there for Hanna, despite what Hanna's going to do today. You are aways welcome in the house and will always and I mean always be part of the family."

Caleb smiled and walked away.
