"When was the last time that you heard from Spencer?" Veronica asked Melissa as she bounced Brandon on her knee.

"It's been awhile" Melissa said getting a worried look in her eye.

Spencer and Toby had tried for two years to get pregnant and by the end Spencer had fallen into a severe depression. It got so bad at one point that Toby took a leave of absence to stay home and take care of her. Even when he did finally go back to work, he was afraid of leaving Spencer alone.

"I'm gonna call her and see what she is doing" Veronica said "Maybe we can go for a girls day"

"Hey mom" Spencer said "What's wrong?"

"Nothing is wrong, dear, I was just wondering what you were doing today?" Veronica said hesitantly.

"I'm at work" Spencer said and Veronica became aware of the sound of Spencer typing.

"When did you go back to work?" Veronica asked and Melissa looked as if this was news to her as well. Spencer had taken a leave of absence from work as well, when the worst of the depression hit.

"3 months ago" Spencer said and Veronica could tell she wasn't concentrating.

"3 months, wow honey, that's so great!" Veronica said. "How's Toby?"

"Toby's fine, why are you going to call him next?" Spencer said in a clipped tone.

"No, listen honey, since you're doing better, why don't you and Toby come over for dinner sometime this week?" Veronica said.

"Toby and I are too busy, we won't be able to come" Spencer said.

"Well, sweetheart, we haven't even picked a day" Veronica said

"It doesn't matter" Spencer said "Toby and I are busy on all of them."

"Mom, I gotta go" Spencer said hanging up before Veronica could say anything.

"She's at work" Veronica reiterated to Melissa.

"So that's good, right?" Melissa asked.

"I don't know" she said furrowing her brow.

Veronica dialed Toby's cell and when he didn't answer she called the station.

Veronica shared pleasantries with the front desk clerk. She informed her that Toby was on vacation from work for two weeks.

"Why would Spencer say they were busy, if Toby is on vacation?" Veronica asked.

"Maybe they have a trip planned?" Melissa suggested.

"Then why didn't she just say that?" Veronica asked.

"I think you and I should go to the house and have a look around. Something is up with Spencer and I want to know what it is." Veronica said.

Veronica and Melissa left the baby with Peter and Wren who were engrossed in a baseball game and headed over to the Cavanaugh home. Toby's truck wasn't in the drive way so Veronica used the spare key that Toby and Spencer had given them when they got married. As they stepped into the house, they noticed how clean it was, not just picked up but immaculate. Veronica checked the fridge but found nothing out of the ordinary. On the desk in the den, Veronica found a datebook. She flipped it to today, and gasped at the entry.

"What is it mom?" Melissa asked looking over her shoulder. Meeting with Jeanine Alvarez was scribbled in for today.

"Who's Jeanine Alvarez?" Melissa asked.

"She's a divorce lawyer" Veronica said.

"Spencer and Toby are getting divorced?" Melissa asked.

"One of them is at the very least thinking about it." She said.

Veronica and Melissa left locking the door and getting back in the car.

"Mom!" Melissa yelled before Veronica could start the car. They saw Toby's pick up pull into the drive and another car pull up behind him. A pretty young woman stepped out of the car. She had brown hair and light brown skin. She was wearing a red blouse with matching skirt. Toby showed her into the house smiling like a goon.

"I guess we know, who wants the divorce" Melissa quipped.

"No, we don't, Spencer could just as easily want the divorce and we don't even know who that woman is" Veronica said not wanting to believe her son in law was a cheater. If it was Wren she'd believe it but not Toby.

"Well then let's just sit here until they come out again" Melissa said.

It was an hour and a half before the woman left the house. Toby hugged her as she left.

"What more proof do we need?" Melissa shrieked "Toby is cheating on Spencer!"

"We can't tell Spencer that is for sure," she would be livid with them for spying and if it was Toby that wanted a divorce Veronica didn't want to be the one to break the news.

"I'm going to talk to toby" Veronica said.

"You go girl" Melissa said sarcastically as she got out of the car and marched up to the door banging on it.

"Mrs. Hastings" Toby said. He had a phone pressed to his ear and he looked less than eager to see her.

"I want to talk to you" she said firmly.

"Okay come in" he said in a strained voice "I'll have to call you back"

"Toby, I'm worried about you and Spencer" She said firmly.

"Mrs. Hastings" he sighed "I assure you we're both fine"

"Then why is my daughter refusing to see me" she huffed "I haven't seen her in months I didn't even know she was back at work."

"Mrs. Hastings, Spencer and I have been through a lot and we are really busy right now when things settle down, we will have dinner with you and Mr. Hastings"

"Excuse me, I have to take this" he said as he answered his phone.

Veronica watched as he scribbled somethings on a piece of paper.

"I should go" she said standing in hopes at getting a look at the paper.

Financial Statements

Spencer's Medical Records

Veronica couldn't believe that Toby was going to use Spencer's mental issues as grounds for divorce. She stormed out.

Veronica and Melissa returned to the house and told Wren and Peter what they had witnessed.

"I think you're both overreacting" Wren said.

"I agree" Peter said. "Either one of them could be speaking with a divorce lawyer for a myriad of reasons other than wanting a divorce"

"Like what?" Veronica scoffed.

"Like Spencer could be seeing her for a story she is writing" Peter said

"Or Toby may be involved as a witness in someone else's divorce" Wren added.

"Peter, I think you and I should go over tonight and confront them" Veronica said

"Do we have to?" he complained.

"Yes!"

That night Peter and Veronica went over to the Cavanaugh home. Veronica knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. There was no answer so they knocked again. Finally Toby answered the door. He was shirtless and the top of his pants were undone.

"We came over to see you and Spencer" Veronica said "We know about the divorce"

Toby begrudgingly let them in.

"What are you guys doing here?!" Spencer shrieked. She was wearing only Toby's shirt.

Veronica looked around at the lit candles and half-filled glasses of wine.

"I'm trying to have a romantic night with my husband" she cried.

"They think we're getting a divorce" Toby said

"We are not getting a divorce, Toby and I love each other" Spencer said.

"Then why are you meeting with Jeanine Alvarez?" Veronica said.

"That is none of your business" Spencer shrieked. "I want you two to leave"

After they left Spencer stripped off Toby's shirt.

"Now where were we?" she said as she laid down on the couch.

"Right about here" He answered climbing over her.
