"Honey we've gotta talk" I sigh as I sit down with Alex.

"What is it?"

"Spencer is in trouble. She's pregnant, she's got her kids, she's got her family, and I've spent my entire life locked up. I'm used to it, most of my life is gone anyway, I want better for my kids, I met her children and they are the sweetest, I want you to be close to her. Be the sisters me and Jessica never could be. Stay close and be close"

"Mum.... what you're saying... you can't just go"

"Alex honey, I have to. If it comes down to it I'm taking the blame for Spencer, Alison and their friends. I don't know if it will come down to it. But I'm giving you a heads up."

"So can I reveal myself to Spencer now?"

"I'd love for you guys to meet. To spend time with all my children..., well. The ones living" I sigh as she rests her arm on mine

"What happened to Charles wasn't your fault mum. And I promise as long as she accepts me I'll stay close to Spencer. All I want, all I ever wanted was a family. I'm not letting that go."

"I know dear. I'm going plan a dinner so you guys can finally meet. It's time"

Toby

We are curently in our house with Aria, Hanna, Caleb, Alison and Emily.

Still not wanting Ezra near my house.

"Toby, tell us. Are they questioning our story?" Hanna asks

"Yeah and Who are they targetting first? Or are they just going to pick us all up together?" Alison questions

"they are questioning one person, they believe one person the most and are trying to poke holes at the others story"

"Who?" Emily asks

"It's me isn't it? They don't trust me" Ali groans

"I'm most likely the one they are poking holes at " Spencer sighs

"Just let Toby talk" Caleb interupts

"Alison actually they believ your story the most, they think Hanna is lying and want to see what they can find out and they are trying to poke holes at Spencer's story, but Marco is a bit hesitant with that"

"How close are they to anything?" Ali asks

"Close to getting a search warrent to go through Hanna's house and possibly ours" i sigh

"What?!" Emily gasps

"Yea, they are looking for anything, traces of his blood, contact with him, anything that could link you to being there when he was killed"

"Fuck" Spencer tugs at her hair as she paces around.

"This isn't good" Hanna groans

"Ya think Ezra!" Caleb yells

"Babe relax" she says as she puts her hand on his shoulder

Awkwardly we finish discussing the situation and everyone disperses, they know what I have planned today.

It's not the best timing but with everything that happened between Spencer and I in our life, for everything that we've faced and are facing, and for the comments belittling her status as my girlfriend as if that doesn't mean a thing, I want to make her my wife.

Spencer

"I love the girls don't get me wrong, but I love when we can just have us time" i smile before leaning in to kiss him.
