Pretty Little Liars Next Generation - From the Beginning

Rochelle Cavanaugh 5th Birthday

A/N - I am currently in the year 2021 for this story        

*Monday August 9th*

Spencer's POV

I was awaken by the bright light on in our bedroom plus the sound of Toby closing the walk in closest door a little to fast.

"Why are you up so early?" I asked

"Tanner called and texted me, She needs me to work today." Toby said

"I thought you asked for today off like over a month ago." I said

"I did Spence but there are 2 Rosewood PD officers off on medical leave and 2 more called in sick so I'm needed." Toby said

"Is this going to be an all day thing because it is Rochelle's birthday today?" I asked

"Rochelle's birthday is why I asked for today off but I guess we are just going to have to celebrate another day." Toby said

"This is why I told you we should have done something yesterday for her birthday." I said

"I had the Rosewood Police and Fire lunch yesterday but you were with the kids all day." Toby said

"I wasn't exactly with the kids all day because your dad came over and I went over to Aria's because she needed my help with something." I said

"Is there a reason you didn't take the kids with you?" Toby asked

"Not really but I had lunch with your dad and then Aria called so he offered to stay." I said

"What did Aria need help with?" Toby asked

"Aria bought a dress and she wasn't sure if she liked how it looked on her so she wanted my opinion of it." I said

"That sounds just like Aria to me." Toby said

"We ended up going to the mall so Aria could return the dress and buy another one but I ended up buying the dress she returned." I said

"Can I see you in this dress? Toby asked

"I can put it on right now if you give me a minute to get out of bed and go to the bathroom." I said

"No, that's ok because I really should be getting to work right now." Toby said

"Some other time like maybe tonight." I said

Toby left for work and I got ready for the day. I called my mom because I'm supposed to be working at the law firm today but now I can't because someone has to be home with the kids.

"Toby got called in to work so now I can't come in today." I said

"How about I watch the kids for you so you can come into the law firm and work with your dad?" Mrs. Hastings asked

"Is something going on between you and dad?" I asked

"No but sometimes when you work with your husband you just need a break and today is one of those days." Mrs. Hastings said

A few minutes after my mom arrived I left and drove to the Hastings law firm.

"Your mom doesn't agree with me on a clients case." Mr. Hastings said

"Do you want me to look at it and see what I think?" I asked

"Think before you just side with your mom." Mr. Hastings said

I didn't want to pick sides but I ended up agreeing with my mom. 

"You are not going to get me to change my mind."  Mr. Hastings said
