After leaving the airport and getting a taxi back to Rosewood we arrive in about an hour to my parents house and they agree to look after Mateo when I go out and get coffee,
As I walk through town life seems to have stood still as not much has changed, except the people in it.
Instead of heading to the brew I decide to head to the bar next to wrens flat as I needed something stronger than coffee if I was going to make it through the first day back. I open the door to the bar and order a vodka and soda and find a seat in the back corner where I can get in with paper work.
After about ten minuets of working I heart who people start to argue and before I know it a fight breaks out, I rush over and try to intervene when I'm pushed flying and hit myself against the bar, once they hear the bang of me hitting the bar they stop fighting and come over to see if I'm okay. I look up and it's no one other than Toby ... but he's completely drunk at 11am.
I pull myself up and grab my papers before running out of the bar with Toby following behind me.
"Spence!! Uh wait" he mumbles, he stumbles behind me, I continue walking away from him when I suddenly stop and turn around to face him,
"What happened to you?" I ask with tears streaming down my face,
"Spence I'm so so sorry" he mumbles once again,
"God I need to get you home, do you still live above the brew?" I ask whilst putting his arm over my shoulder to help him but wince at the pain as I recalling that when I hit myself when I fell.

*5 minutes later*

I unlock the door to his apartment and help him to the couch, then get him a cup of water and ice for my shoulder. I got to hand him the water but he'd already fallen asleep,
I decide to leave a note saying "call me when you're sober, we need to talk - S"
After writing the not I place it on the table and leave.

Toby's POV
I wake up with a pounding head ache and begin to remember what had happened a few hours earlier, then I realise she was here ... after 5 years she came back.
I sit up and take a sip of the water she had poured me when I see a note. She wants to see me, I'm not to sure why because of what happened earlier but I decide to have a shower and call here.
*ring ring ring*
"Hello? Who's this?" She says from the other end of the line,
"Toby ... you wanted to talk" I reply sheepishly,
"Hi, um yeah, would you be able to come round to mine now?" She asks enthusiastically,
"Sure I'm on my way" I reply and hang up the phone and head out the door.

Spencer's POV
He's on his way! I run up stairs and put Mateo in his play pen,
"Mom!" I call,
"Yes spence" she replies,
"Toby's on his way so can you bring Mateo down when I call you" I ask, I can't believe this is happening,
*knock knock*
He's here I think to myself, I run down the stairs and open the door to a clean and freshly shaven Toby, the Toby I used to know.
"Come in" i say whilst gesturing him towards a seat,
"So what did you want to talk about" he asks,
I take a deep breath and look into his eyes, know that what I'm about to tell him will change the way he sees me again.
"5 years ago when we broke up, that night I had a dinner planned, well what you thought was a dinner, but it wasn't. Under the dish was a pregnancy test. I was pregnant-" he cuts me off, tears threatening both our eyes,
"Why didn't you tell me spence?" He asks taking my hand,
"You were so angry that night, I had never seen you like that. I tried to tell you but you left before I could" I say beginning to cry.
"Wh - what happened with the baby? Do you give it up for adoption?" He asks taking my hand in his,
"No I kept him. He's upstairs if you want to meet him?" In my head I knew this was the moment my life would change once again, his answer would change it.
