One True Love

Chapter Eighteen

Several hours later Ashley Claudia Rivers came into the world. Ashley after Hanna's mother, and Claudia after Caleb's mother. She has big blue eyes and is adorable.

Ashley: I'm so proud of you baby, you're a perfect little family and I can't wait to see where life brings you next.

Hanna: thanks mom, I love you.

Then there is a knock at the door.

Hanna: come in!

Aria: oh my god where is the cutie?!
Spencer: yes! Where is she!
Emily: Lily, Grace and Ashley are gonna be best friends!
Alison: I'm so excited!
Hanna: my mom is holding her.
Ashley: do you girls wanna see her?
Spencer: yes!
Ashley: *hands Ashley over to Spencer*
Spencer: she is so cute.
Aria: what are you thinking about Spence?
Spencer: oh nothing!
Aria: well can I have a turn?
Spencer: sure.

When Aria is holding Ashley, Spencer walks over to Hanna.

Hanna: I know what you were thinking about.
Spencer: someday, hopefully sometime soon...
Hanna: yeah...
Spencer: what are you hiding from me?
Hanna: go talk to Toby.

Toby: Hey Spence!
Spencer: Hey Toby...
Toby: What's wrong?
Spencer: Something is going on. Everyone is hiding something from me. And I asked the girls and they told me to talk to you. So what is going on?!
Toby: Spencer...
Spencer: we said no more secrets.
Toby: fine... come with me.

Back at the loft

Toby: Spencer, you know how we were supposed to have a date tonight?
Spencer: yes...
Toby: well, I went to talk to your parents.
Spencer: talk to my parents about wh— oh...
Toby: well, it didn't go so well. You're father said if I asked you to marry me that he wouldn't go to the wedding... if you said yes of course...
Spencer: TOBIAS CAVANUGH! You shouldn't have a damn doubt in that mind that I wouldn't say yes to proposing to you! I would marry you right this minute if I could! Since when do I care what my parents think?! Toby I love you!!!
Toby: I love you too. But I am not proposing tonight. I want to surprise you.
Spencer: you know I hate surprises. Maybe not this one though...
