she raised her eyebrow once he took the bottle from her and she knew that this would be a long night. she felt a huge weight off her shoulder once he seemed like he was actually going to take responsibility. her features softened and she finally let her lips relax instead of being twisted into a scowl. she sighed loudly, walking over to toby placing a hand on his shoulder. “i’m glad you’re not leaving me high and dry. i need a couple more drinks but we can figure this out over said drinks.” she was wary about letting him back into her life which was funny to her since she hadn’t spoke to him until he was ready to have her back in his life. she still was bartending, often leaving layla with her parents while she worked nights. she knew that the both of them weren’t ready for a baby but here they were.
Toby handed the bottle back to her as he paced around the room. His head felt like it was swimming with a million thoughts and yet he couldn't focus on a single one. "I'm just as responsible here, I couldn't just walk away." He knew he was a lot of things, but he couldn't just abandon them again not now he knew the truth. He wasn't good with babies, he'd barely spent more than five minutes with one since he became an adult, and yet he now has a child of his own. "This is insane." He exhaled, talking mostly to himself as he sat down, looking at Veronica carefully. He knew she must have been pissed at him, yet she seemed mostly calm.
