Keep Me Safe

Chapter 75

The scene Spencer woke up to was one that she could get used to. Toby's head was buried in her mess of brown hair, his arm draped loosely over her stomach.

He must have felt her stir, as Spencer felt his breathing quicken against her neck as he awoke. He tightened his grip around her, bringing their bodies closer. He planted a light kiss to the back of her neck, causing her to turn around.

"It's so nice to wake up to your face," he beamed.

"You've been waking up to me for the last three years, Tobes," Spencer laughed.

"But before I wasn't able to call you my wife," he said, leaning in to kiss her again. Spencer deepened the kiss, but then remembered the no-sex rule in place for the first trimester of her pregnancy. Spencer was to limit physical activity aside from going to school and doing light housework. The doctors were worried that any further damage to the fetus could lead to miscarriage.

So she pecked one last kiss on Toby's lips before rolling onto her side and off the bed.

"Here, you can stay in bed, I'll bring you breakfast," Toby said, getting up. Spencer slid back under the covers, accepting his offer.

Fifteen minutes later, Toby returned with a tray of waffles and fruit. He set it in front of her and sat down beside her.

"We haven't really had a chance to talk about this," Toby said.

"What's there to talk about?" Spencer asked.

"Well, isn't this house a little small? What about graduation? And aren't you worried about what the doctors said?"

"Well if we need a bigger house, you do that for a living. We have money. And if need be, I'll graduate in the winter." She paused before she answered next. "And yes, I am worried. I know that there is a very possible chance of miscarriage, but I only have two months until we're in the clear. If I take care of myself and the baby, it should be fine."

She really did believe that.
