Toby's POV

"Toby? Han? Em? What are you guys doing here?"

I turned around and Spencer stood there confused as to why we were here and not at my wedding reception.

"Spence I need to talk to you."

Spencer looked around when I pulled her aside.

"what's going on? you're meant to be with Yvonne, you just got married."

I shake my head.

"no I didn't I couldn't do it, because I realized I was making a mistake."

Spencer raised her eyebrow. She looked beautiful and I couldn't believe I ever even considered marrying Yvonne, when the best thing that had ever happened to me was right in front of me this whole time.

"w-what? w-why?"

"I'm crazy in love with you Spencer Hastings." She was shocked, taken aback and completely lost for words.

"Toby?" her eyes filled with tears.

Emily and Hanna were watching waiting to see what happened as if this was a book that needed it's happy ending.

"I'm moving to Paris." she breathed trying to catch her breath.

"don't go please. I can't watch you walk away, I know I said you should live your dream but not if the means your not with me. Adam needs you. I need you."

I took Spencer hand in mine still trying to convince her this was what I wanted.

"almost marrying Yvonne was stupid okay I'm such an idiot. I said your name, Spencer not Yvonne. You. because I love you and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I didn't build that house for Yvonne I was building it for you."

By this point Spencer was properly crying, I couldn't tell if she had no words because she was happy or because she didn't know how to tell me that she didn't love me. It was only a few months ago she told me she was helping Caleb win Hanna because she clearly didn't think she was going to get her happy ending.

"I have to get on the plane, I'm sorry." she let go of my hand and I felt my heart crack inside my chest.

"Spencer please."

Spencer handed her ticket back to the ticket man and gave me a longing look.

"I'm so sorry Toby." with that she left.

Emily and Hanna walked up to me and hugged me.

"I really thought." I let the tears fall onto Emily's dress. All that did was remind me I was meant to be married but I jilted her at the alter because I admitted my feeling to late. If I had just listened to what people had told me, I would probably be having family time with Spencer and Adam.

Too bad Toby screwed up again. Way to go, I tell myself.

Aria's POV

Me, Ezra, Caleb and Alison sat down on the floor playing pretend dino with Adam while waiting for the others to get back from the airport, hopefully with Spencer.

"Awnite Aria?"

"yes Adam."

"Why did Dadda say Mamma's name instead of the mean ladies name?"

I looked to the others waiting for a way out of the question. Alison  was the first to speak.

"well you know at school all your friends parents are married or together?"

"yeah"

"well Daddy and Mommy aren't like most parents are they?"

Adam smiled.

"No their friends."

"well you know mommy and daddy always tell you they love you?"

"yeah and I love them."

we all giggle. Caleb fiddled with some of Adam's toys and Ezra joined as if they were two year old's just like Adam.

"well there are different types of love and Daddy realized he loves Mommy more than a friend should so he is going to bring mommy home and maybe you will stay here and not go to Paris with your mom"

Adam got up and sat of Ali's lap.

"I want to stay here with Mommy and Daddy, I don't like that mean lady."

Ezra tapped Adam on the knee.

"we know but that mean lady isn't going to be here anymore because your dad realized he didn't want to marry her."

"so is dadda going to marry Mamma?"

"maybe one day." Caleb passed him his green dinosaur and he went back to playing with his toys.

Maybe one day he will marry Spencer, who knows maybe they will have more children and Adam will be a big brother.

Just then Hanna and Emily came through the door without Toby or Spencer, we all stood up waiting for the news.

General POV

"Caleb, Adam needs to stay with us tonight." Hanna said while putting her bag down and taking off her coat

"Why? What happened?" Caleb questioned.

Emily put the TV on so Adam wasn't paying attention from what they had to. Hanna felt like a black cloud that was about to rain on everyone's parade, while Emily felt like the bearer of bad news and to be honest they kind of were.

Emily gave Hanna the look, implying she wanted Hanna to explain what had happened.

"She got on the plane. Alone."

Everyone sighed, the one thing everyone didn't want to happen had become a reality.

"where's Toby now?" the shortest brunette asked.

"he went home he wanted to be alone." Emily finally spoke.

Caleb sighed and fiddled with his bottom lip like he always when he was either sad, nervous or shocked.

"poor Toby."

Toby's POV

Once Emily dropped me off back at home Yvonne was chucking stuff in her car. I couldn't be bothered with her right now, I just felt so deflated.

"I'm leaving you Jerk! you embarrassed me in front of my entire my family!"

she smacked me in the chest when I walked over to her, although I was just trying to walk into the house I built for Spencer. Another reminder she's not here.

"I told you I'm sorry but no one could feel worse than I do, I may have dumped you at the alter but I just got rejected."

she stopped in her tracks and looked me dead in the eye.

"I never liked Spencer but at least she has some common sense." she slammed the boot of her car shut, got in her car and drove away.

Yvonne was gone and so was Spencer.

I cared about Yvonne but I never loved her like I love Spencer. Yvonne was the ideal wife, the one who would stay home and make cookies and cater to my every need. But Spencer is the exact opposite, she was the one who never sat still, she would always be doing something unless she was cuddling up with me and having time with me and she always kept me on my toes.

But Spencer isn't here anymore to keep me on my toes.

I shut the door behind me and sat on the sofa, I checked my phone.
