Getting used to Chicago life

A/N - I am currently in the year 2023 for this story  

*Monday January 8th*

Spencer's POV

Toby has been at his been working his new job for a week and the kids started their new schools in the middle of last week. I started Law school in Chicago today and so far I think even though it will be harder then undergrad I will be able to get through it.

"I don't think the kids like their new school to much." I told Toby when he got home from work

"It hasn't even been a week yet so I'm sure they just haven't adjusted yet." Toby said

"How's your job going?" I asked

"It's fine." Toby said

"Fine could mean anything." I said

"Spence, all I mean for now is that it's a big adjustment going from working in a small city were most of your cases are traffic tickets to working in a big city with actual crimes." Toby said

"Is this area of Chicago not safe for our kids?" I asked

"I was taking about south Chicago but the northern part of the city is usually safe." Toby said

"If we made the move only because your new job was more pay then maybe this was a mistake." I said

"Moving was not a mistake Spence, it's an adjustment but not a mistake." Toby said

"How was it not a mistake when even I miss my friends and wish we didn't move?" I asked

"Spence, it's only been a week, just give Chicago a chance." Toby said

"Fine but if I don't like it I'm moving back home and taking the kids with me." I said

"Spence you can't do that." Toby yelled

"I will leave you with the kids then." I yelled

"Don't tell me you would rather live in your parents guest house barn then with me and our kids." Toby yelled

"I didn't say I would move back home. I'm sure Ezra would rent me the loft above the brew if it was available." I yelled

"Or you could just move to London with your sister and then we really wouldn't be seeing each other." Toby yelled

I started crying but before I could respond to Toby my cell phone rang. It was my sister so I walked away from Toby and answered my phone.

"Hello." I said

"Is this a bad time because I can call you back?" Melissa asked

"Toby and I were just in the middle of an argument but I would rather talk to you." I said

"Is everything ok between you and Toby because I didn't want the move to break you two up?" Melissa asked

"I don't know Melissa, I really don't know. I think something at his new job is bothering him but he doesn't want to talk about it."  I said

"Toby will tell you if something is going on when he is ready to tell you but in the meantime don't let it mess with your marriage." Melissa said

"Easier said then done Melissa." I said

"If Wren and I are still together after almost 9 years of marriage then you and Toby will be fine." Melissa said

"I hope so." I said

"Go make Toby some dinner and then hopefully you can get through the meal without fighting." Melissa said
