You're Marrying The Wrong Person

The Ex-Roomate

Toby's POV

One more day to go until I'm married to Spencer. Once I left work yesterday I drove over to the airport and picked up Spencer's surprise. Who also goes by the name Erica. She and Spencer used to be roommates in college. I dropped her off at Alison's house and she is going to come over tonight to surprise her before we have our night apart.

I'm currently in bed with Spencer who is still asleep, her fingers intertwined with mine.

"Tobes."

"Spence go back to sleep." I wisper not to loud to wake Adam up.

"Can I ask you a question?"

"Well I think you just did, what's wrong?"

Spencer turned herself over so she was facing me.

"Who do you think broke into my parents house?"

"Spence that was five years ago, why are you just asking me this now?"

Spencer's eyes glistened like she had tears in her eyes, she had the look of pure worry like she didn't feel safe.

She had that same look from the end of high school til most of college, Hanna has a very similar one too.

We call it the dollhouse look. All the girls had them when they were rescued from the bunker.

"No reason." Spencer's still had a very sleepy tone to her voice, mixed with tears lodged in her throat.

"Spence talk to me."

"I guess I'm scared, that who ever it was might come back."

"You don't need to worry about that ever happening. It was probably just some kid remember like Mike but Aria can assure you Mike is not breaking into any houses."

Spencer's giggle filled my ears, it was the sound of pure innocence like a baby laughing for the first time.

"Besides you should be excited you know what tomorrow is."

A big grin spread across Spencer's face.

"Our wedding day."

Around half an hour later Spence and I got ready. I wake Adam up and tell him my plan about Erica.

"My lips are sealed dad, I promise." He tells as we walk into the kitchen, with Spencer making pancakes and humming.

Adam sits at the table and I help Spencer with the cooking.

"So I have a surprise for you today."

Spencer looks at me confused.

"Why?"

"Why not?" I shrug and she giggles.

"So when do I get this surprise?"

Adam laughs to himself and Spencer raises her eyebrow.

"What's so funny? Mr Sweet face."

"Nothing."

"It's at Ali's at the moment she's bringing it over in an hour."

She dishes up the last few pancakes, gives some to Adam, me and finally some for herself.

"Come on you know I hate surprises, please just tell me."

"Spence you'll have to try harder than that."

She bows her head and giggles like she does whenever we play scrabble and I win.

Alison's POV

Last night Toby dropped Erica at my house and we have gotten to know each other quite well.
I also learned a few things about Spencer as well, I finally know why she had to break into her own dorm room and let's just say that's a silly story.
Spencer had run down to library to return a book before she realised she'd forgotten her key she been locked out.

She'd always told us it was stupid and I guess it kind of was.

Just when we had finished up our breakfast Toby text me.

Toby: meet me outside in five Spencer's getting impatient. X

Alison: be right there. X

"Show time."

Toby's POV

I tied a scarf around Spencer's eyes and she couldn't help but giggle.

"Your very hyper this morning."

"Well I'm getting married tomorrow, that might have something to do with it."

Spencer laughed again and she was really jittery.

"Spence how many cups of coffee have you had this morning."

She raises her hands, still with her back to me from where I had tied the scarf round her head.

"Not that many."

"How many Spencer?"

She sighed and giggles again.

"Six"

"And?"

"Three more."

I chuckled, when Adam came down the stairs with pen on his face.

"Mom?"

"Sorry sweetie mommy can't see you right now."

"Hey are you playing pin tale on the donkey without me?"

Adam sounded a little hurt and all we could do laugh, for the thousandth time today.

"What?"

"I'm taking your mom to her surprise."

"Oh ooops"

"Okay now I've said that why have you got pen on your face?"

"He's what?" Spencer shouted.

"Okay looks like I need to go get some wet wipes."

I walked into the bathroom and grabbed the wet wipes for Adam.
I came back into the living room and Spencer had taken her blind fold off and was leaving over the sink.

Adam had his hand on her back.

"Woah Spence what's wrong?"

I rushed to her side.

"I just think that blind fold is making me feel sick."

"Maybe we should leave the blind fold off."

She nodded and I sat her down on a kitchen stool.

"Is someone going to wipe the pen off my face? Please."

I smiled at Adam while wiping the pen off his face.

"So how did you get pen on your face?" Spencer asked when she had got over feeling ill.

"No its stupid."

"You sound like your mother."

I chuckle, Spencer wacks my head.

"Hey!"

"Fine, I was colouring and I fell asleep on the pens."

We all laughed again, the laughing in this house is contagious.

"Thanks dad. Can I come and see moms surprise too?"

"Sure buddy."

Spencer, Adam and I all walk outside and down the street to Ali's house.
Ali's house is placed the next door to Spencer's parents so we are still pretty close to where they are.

When we turn the corner Spencer's sees Erica and looks at me with excitement.

"Toby is that who I think it is?"
"How could we get married without your bubbly Ex-Roomate. "

Spencer let's go of my hand and runs over to Erica, Adam not far behind.

All we've done is laugh and smile today, things are going great.

My perfect little family.
