"Toby, I don't feel so good," Spencer whined.
"It must be something you ate," he said, rubbing her back as they rested on the couch in their loft.
"I don't think it's that, Toby. I'm late," she said worriedly.
He paused.
"Spence, we've known each other for like a month," he said quietly.
"I know, I just... I don't know what to do," she sighed.
He looked at the ground as she started to cry.
"I'll go get some tests... stay here," he said, getting up.
She felt cold and alone without his touch. She couldn't explain the feeling but she didn't like it. She felt that feeling the whole time he was gone.

He returned with three tests and she went to the bathroom to take them. While they waited three minutes for each one, they sat in silence. Toby held Spencer in his arms as she cried.
"I mean, isn't this what we were planning for?" he asked calmly.
"As you said, Toby, we should really be married first, and we've only known each other for a little over a month,"
He sighed.
Before they knew it, the timer went off. She picked up all of the tests and checked them.
"Negative," she sighed in relief.
Toby let go of the breath he didn't know he was holding. He turned to Spencer and grabbed her hand.
"Let's be more careful,"
She nodded.
"I guess the pill isn't one hundred percent effective. Let's go buy some condoms," she said, tightening her grip on his hand.
"Are you still gonna use the pill?" he asked.
"Until we're actually ready for children," she clarified.
He nodded in agreement.
"I love you, Spencer. I can't wait until we have kids of our own. Just not now," he chuckled.
She smiled and kissed him.
"I love you too,"

"So, what're we gonna do now?" he asked after they came home from the drug store.
She came close to him, grabbing the collar of his shirt and biting her lip.
"I think we should-"
"Fuck? Already?" he chuckled.
She laughed.
"Yeah," she giggled.
"Why don't we make some dinner?" he grinned.
"Together? In this small kitchen?" she said, hopping up onto the table in the kitchen.
"Yes, together," he smiled as he kissed her.
