Tony walks behind Spencer with his hands over her eyes, his lips on her jaw as he smirks.

"Tony" she scolds a little, he chuckles and stops kissing her.

"Okay, so....whilst you and your brothers were out having lunch...me and Bobby got to work" he tells her warmly. "I think we did alright for 2 hours" he teases looking to the older man stood with her brother.

"Tony, pregnant and blind..." she reminds him.

"Alright" he whispers softly and then pulls his hands from her eyes. She smiles and looks to Tony who nods.

"In 2 hours?" she asks him, he nods again. She looks back to the now finished closet nursery. A tiny baby space. "It's great" she tells them.

"And it's the crib you fell in love with" Bobby tells her. Spencer turns to glare at Tony.

"I know what you said" Tony argues. "It's too expensive" he mocks a little. "Call it a...what is it? A baby shower gift?" he asks. "You loved that crib, Spencer, nothing even came close to it......this is the one you wanted" Bobby looks to Sam and Dean and motions for them to leave them alone. Dean and Sam leave followed by Bobby. Spencer takes a breath and turns to Tony.

"What are you doing?" Spencer asks Tony.

"What?"

"We talked about this" she answers. "You bought a diamond" he sighs a little.

"It's just a crib" he corrects. She shakes her head. "What?" Tony asks. "I thought you'd be happy" he argues. She sits on the edge of the bed and sighs, her hand rubbing around her bump.

"I am" she whispers. "I am" she repeats. "I just...." she takes a breath. "I know you did it to be kind...but it makes me feel useless" he frowns and sits at her side. "You...can actually give her whatever she wants. I can barely afford to get groceries"

"That's what you're worried about?" he asks her. "Money?"

"I worry about a lot of things" she grumbles. "Money is one of them" she admits.

"Is it so bad that I want to make this easier for you?" he asks her. "And if me...giving you"

"Don't" she stops him. "Don't...I'm not charity"

"I never thought you were" Tony assures her. "I actually rather like you, Spencer" he admits. "At the least I consider us friends....and I like to think I am the kind of guy that helps my friends" he brushes her hair back over her shoulder. "It doesn't have to be a lot" he adds. "Just enough to cover the groceries...and whatever else you need" she sniffles a little. "I have to know you're eating and drinking and keeping yourself....healthy" she lifts her eyes to him. "I care" he admits. "I care about you, Spencer....I care about you and Junior" he brushes a few loose tears from her cheek and then pull her closer to him. "Take the money" he asks of her. "Just enough to get by if needs be....just take it" she nods a little, hesitantly.
