Chapter 5
Melinda woke up the next morning , Toby wasn't in bed. She put her housecoat on, she walked out in the living room. He was sitting on the couch just staring straight ahead. She walked over putting her arms around him, and he whispered, "Your up"
"Yeah I hate when you are not beside me when I get up". She sat in his lap, as he brought his lips over hers. She smiled, "Oh I love my morning kisses"
"Me too, sorry I wasn't in bed, I couldn't sleep"
"After our triple workout". Toby blushed making Melinda laugh, "You are so shy handsome, but that is what I like about you"
"I love everything about you Melinda, I love your smile, and the way you make me feel. The way you make me feel like I'm somebody, and I know you love me."
"Toby you are amazing don't let that jerk bring you down anymore. I'm not expecting you to beat him up, but put him in his place. He is like the school bully that torments someone, until they kill themselves"
"I know but I really believe Michael is a good person, but he hates me for some reason"
"Yeah but everyone has someone they dislike in life, but that doesn't give you the right to make the person feel like crap. I have someone from work who drives me in sane, but I never treat her horrible, that isn't in me"
"See you are to sweet to Melinda, what a pair we are"
"Yeah but if she treated me the way Michael treats you oh man their would be trouble"
"Yeah I bet"
"I'm shy, but I stick up for myself Toby"
"I know you do you put me in my place last night". Melinda smiled, "How about some French toast would you like that"?
"Yeah with maple syrup, I need my energy today"
"Remember get rid of Plastic boy today too. I hate having that thing in my house. If one of my friends saw it they would think it was for me"
Toby smiled, "You and Plastic boy do I have something to worry about"?
"Yeah me burning it"
"I'm going to get rid of it don't worry"
Melinda touched her chin, and kissed him. "I love you Toby, more than you will ever know"
Melinda got up, Toby smiled, "Love you more Melinda"
She smiled as she went in to get breakfast ready. Toby showered, and dressed, and came out as Melinda had everything set up.
"Oh this looks amazing"
"It does if I say so myself". They both laugh, they ate, she loved when Toby was happy, and smiling. She hated seeing him come home every night like he went through a battle with someone. She knew she couldn't confront Michael on her own, but if this didn't stop she would. The finished eating Toby got up, "I have to go to work, but I will see you tonight, maybe Friday we will go out for dinner"
"I would like that"
She walked to the door, Toby grabbed Plastic boy out of the closet.
"Where are you going to put him."?
"Don't worry I have a plan"?
"Don't get arrested with that thing"? She smiled as Toby kissed her, and he walked out, and she locked the door.

Chapter 6
Toby went to his car, and put the blow up doll in the backseat. He got in but all he could think about was how Michael has continually humiliated him , and he took it why? He drove to the office, he grabbed the blow up doll, and walked into the building. He saw so many people staring but he didn't give a crap. He got on the elevator one of the men actually got off thinking he was some kind of freak. Micheal rode up in the elevator alone but he couldn't help but laugh wondering what the man on the 4th floor would tell everyone about him? He walked off the elevator, and walked to his office. He could see Jim, and Pam and the others looking. He saw Michael, the look on his face was priceless. He walked over putting the doll on Michael's chair, and walked to his office. Michael was pissed he walked over grabbing the doll, and walked to Toby.
"What are you doing"?
"Well I thought since you don't have anyone, you might like him instead of me throwing him out"
"You little weasel, you will never go up against me, and win"
"You think you won by humiliating me with that vile thing. You really are a pathetic man Michael, I feel bad for you".
"Oh God you feel bad for me, you are the laughing stock of the office"
"Really who cares, I don't anymore"
Michael threw the doll at him, Toby jumped up, "You take this, and put it where the sun don't shine. I promised Melinda I would get rid of this thing, and I did I gave it back to you. Take it out of my office or I swear I will have you fired for harassment, do I make myself clear" Kelly, Jim, Pam and the others were in shock, they never heard Toby raise his voice. Michael walked up to him face to face, and Toby didn't back down, which startled Michael a little.
"I don't know what got into you Toby, but I'm not afraid of you"
"And I'm not afraid of you anymore thanks to my girl Melinda. She is amazing, and she is right my whole life revolves around what I'm going to do next, and how I'm going to deal with the stress of working with someone like you. You are great to everyone they all love you here, and that is great, but you treat me like crap for no reason whatsoever. I'm tired of it, I'm not taking it anymore, so take this piece of crap, and get out of my office"
Michael walked out of the office, but didn't take the doll. Toby jumped up, "Michael I swear pick up the doll, and dispose of it this instant or I'm phoning security"
Jim looked at Michael , "Do it I dare you"? Michael yelled at him
"Really you think I won't"
"No you are a coward, you would never be able to live with yourself if I got fired. You are joke we all know it, we laugh behind your back, and you take it like the idiot you are. You don't have a girlfriend, I don't know who that lady was last night but I know she wouldn't be with a loser like you who would"?
Pam yelled, "Michael enough"
"No Pam it is fine, he can't hurt me anymore. I don't care if you , or any of you like me. I'm here to do a job, I have tried to understand you Michael, but you know what you need to look in the mirror. You are lonely, you need constant attention, and yeah you can be funny, but putting me down, just shows who you are. You are right I don't want to cause trouble, but I will if you don't stop, I had enough of your crap". Michael threw the doll on Michael's desk, and walked into his office, and slammed the door.
Michael smiled, "Wow I'm scared of him, what a jerk". Jim smiled, "Michael the only jerk here at the moment is you". Pam, Kelly and the others went back to work. Michael looked at Jim, it was the first time he turned away from Michael, and it hurt. Michael stormed out of the office, leaving everyone silent.

Chapter 7
Toby was sitting in his office, his head hurt. He hated being mean, and he actually felt horrible treating Michael that way. He knew Michael deserved it, and more but he just hated that he had to do it. He grabbed a couple of Tylenol, and took two with his coffee. He grabbed some papers, and were reading them over. Pam knocked on his door, he told her to come in.
Toby are you OK"?
"Yeah I'm sorry you witnessed that"
"Me too but Michael deserved it, but I was surprised"
"What that the loser finally stuck up for himself"
"Toby stop putting yourself down, you are not a loser. I think Michael is a great guy but something about you drives him nuts"
"Wow I never noticed". Pam and Toby smile she sat down. "I don't know if he will ever stop, but you left him speechless"
Toby smiled, "Yeah he is out there somewhere plotting something bad to pay me back"
"Well that is a possibility". Pam smiled
Toby smiled but was shocked when Michael came to the door.
"Can I speak with Toby for a minute alone Pam"?
"Yes if it is OK with Toby"?
"You didn't go out , and buy a gun did you"?
"Get real can I speak with him for 1 minute alone please"?
"Yes, talk to you later Pam, thanks you helped me a lot"
Michael smiled, "Thanks Pam"
"Be nice Michael if you can"
"I will try real hard"
Pam left shutting the door, she hoped everything would be OK. Toby sat down, "I know you are angry, but Michael , I had enough"
"Really it didn't show"
"Funny Michael, I guess you didn't come here to be nice"
"Oh I'm trying"
"Yeah you haven't called me any real disgusting names yet". Michael sat down, "OK the blow up Doll was crude, but it was meant to be funny"
"Really I didn't think it was all that funny"
"Yeah because of your friend at home, who was she the housekeeper"?
"My girlfriend soon to be fiancee"
"That is for real do you have a picture"?
"Why Michael"?
"Just wondering what she looks like"?
"She is beautiful, and yes she is to good for me. She loves me, she is amazing, and really this is none of your business"
"Crap you are with some good looking girl, and I'm alone this is so wrong on so many levels"
Toby smiled, "You are alone because you don't let people in."
"I do so well not you but I'm a cool person"
"Yeah you are but not to me"
Michael smiled, "Do you know why I hate you sometimes Toby"?
"Sometimes, I would say like all the time"
"Well yeah all the time"
"Yeah tell me, I have been trying to figure it out"?
"Well you remind me of my Dad who deserted me as a small child. He was quiet, and tried to please everyone, my Mom would yell at him, all the time. He was a loser, and a poor excuse of a husband, and the day he walked out on me, he became a poor excuse for a Father. He actually was a great guy, but he never stood up for himself or me. I think you are so much like him it drives me crazy"
"I would never desert my child, I love my Daughter. I'm nothing like your Father"
"I know that but I can't help it you remind me of him"
"Sorry about that Michael, I guess I can't help that"
"There you go again your Sorry. Why are you sorry, Toby you need to stop this being nice all the time."
"OK Michael deal with your issues, and get over it. I'm not your Father if I was I would have grounded you for life"
"Oh, Oh Toby , that is too funny"
"What"?
"You didn't watch Welcome Back Kotter I see"
"No"
"Of course you really live a sheltered life"
"Michael can I ask you something"?
"I guess as long as you don't ask me out for a date"
"No that won't happen, but I always thought you blamed me for Holly leaving"?
"Holly left it wasn't because of you, but yes I did like to blame you it was easy"
"I knew it "
"We are not bonding Toby, but I will not buy you any more sex toys, that was wrong but funny"
"No it wasn't"
"For you".
Toby smiled, "I accept your apology". Michael got up, "Oh I'm not sorry, I'm just sorry Dex is going to waste, he could have had a good life"
"Yeah with you Michael"
"Truce Toby, but I'm not shaking your hand". Michael got up walking out of his office, making Toby laugh.

this was a really good chapter, really you write Michael so well, because you want to hate him but you make me feel sorry for him at the same time. I like the parts where u said was Toby going to ask him out and that Michael wasn't going to shake his hand, those were funny. I am so impressed you are good with detail.

Hi Melinda not sure when you will read this update, but I'm writing this for you. Glad you like my story, yours and Sanda's comments are awesome.
Chapter 8
Toby grabbed his coat, at the end of the day, and was leaving. He said goodbye to Pam, and Jim, and left the office. He drove home today was the first day in a long time he felt good, and not so stressed after a long day at work listening to Michael. He did give him some looks he knew Michael would never be his friend or anything but he really believed they came to a truce, and that was fine with him. Toby drove up to his place , and saw Melinda car, he was happy she was home early. He got out of the car, she came out of the house, and ran up to him giving him a huge hug.
"How did your day go Toby"?
"Great thanks to you"
"Really did you tell that guy off from work"?
"Yeah I did, and your right it felt amazing"
"Did he yell back at you or do anything real awful"?
"Yeah at first but he came to the office after we had a talk. He said I reminded him of his Dad who left him. I think we came to a truce but I'm sure he will still harass me, but I don't think he will give me anymore of those blow up dolls"
"He better not that thing creep-ed me out"
"Yeah me too, how was your day Melinda"?
"Ok busy but all I could think about was you. I came home early, I made all your favourite dishes again, I thought you might need them"
"Melinda I love you, I don't know why God blessed me with such a Angel, but I'm one lucky guy"
"Yes you are I'm one of a kind"
"You are" Toby pulled her close, and kissed her , than smiled.
"What is that smile for"?
"Nothing just thinking about how lucky I am"
"Well Toby I have to tell you something, but you better sit down"?
"Oh no Melinda your not leaving me are you"?
"Why would you think that"?
"Well when you tell someone to sit down, it isn't a great sign"
"Well it isn't that but it is real important"
Toby sat down Melinda smiled, "Toby I know you love your Daughter, you never get to see her much, but I hope that changes for you. I was just wondering what you would think if you had another child"?
"Another child, I would love that someday "
"Well someday may be sooner that you thought"
"What"?
Melinda walked over grabbing his hand, "I'm pregnant silly"
"Your pregnant now"?
"Yes now I went to the Doctor, I haven't been feeling myself. I'm 2 months pregnant Toby are you happy"?
"Happy OMG I'm so happy I could scream, I'm going to be a Daddy again"
"Yes"
"We have to get married, I want everything to be perfect. OMG I don't have a ring yet, I wanted to get one, but I haven't yet. Will you marry me Melinda, please say yes. I will be the most happiest man in the entire world if you accept my proposal"
"Yes, I will marry you, I wondered what took you so long"
Toby smiled, "I wanted to ask you from the first moment I saw you , but I knew it was to soon, and that I would scare you off. I love you Melinda , and I will make you, and our baby happy, that is a promise"
"I know you will Toby, I know you will". Toby kissed Melinda, and they held each other for the longest time.
To be continued.

Chapter 9
Melinda was getting dinner ready, Toby was in the living room. He grabbed the phone, he just had to hear his little girls voice. He called hoping Kathy wouldn't be in her usual nasty mood.
"Hello"
"Hi Kathy it is Toby, I need to hear Sasha's voice"
"Toby it is supper time, great timing"
"Kathy I want to tell her she is going to have a brother or Sister"
"What"?
"Me and Melinda are having a baby, I'm so happy. Sasha will always be my little Angel, but I know she will be happy for me"
"You married this girl Melinda"?
"We are getting married Kathy don't do this"
"You are so lame Toby she is your little girl, she won't be happy"
"Why wouldn't she be"?
"Tell her but from now on call at a respectable time"
"Kathy she is my Daughter, and I have respected your wishes. I don't see her much, and that is going to change"
"You threatening me"?
"No but I will see her every other weekend, I will drive 4 hours to pick her up, I don't care"
"She is happy Toby why don't you , and your new girlfriend just move on, and enjoy your new life with her, and your soon to be baby"
"Kathy why are you such a cruel person"?
"Only to you Toby". Kathy yelled for Sasha, "It is your father 2 minutes, supper is on the table"
"Hi Daddy"
"Sasha sweetie, I miss you like crazy"
"I miss you too Daddy, and Melinda how is she"?
"Angel she is doing real well, I have some news I want to tell you about"
"What is it Daddy"?
"Me and Melinda are having a baby, you will have a brother or sister real soon"
"Really Daddy"?
"Yes, and in 2 week we will see you OK. I'm coming to pick you up not this weekend but next. The three of us will have a wonderful weekend, and guess what"?
"What"?
"Maybe you can see Daddy Marry Melinda in a small little ceremony, you can be our little good luck charm"
"Daddy I want a sister can you make sure Melinda knows that" Toby wanted to cry, "I will but Angel it doesn't work that way sometimes, but maybe it will be a girl"
"Can I help with a name"?
"Oh yes we will discuss that but are you doing OK"?
"Yeah Mommy is mean sometimes, she made me put your picture in a drawer so Daddy Ken wouldn't be angry"
"No she didn't"
"Yeah but I look at it all the time, I love you Daddy"
"I love you more"
"I have to go Daddy Mommy is mad"
"I'm sending you a kiss baby"
"I caught it Daddy see you soon"
"Bye" Toby held the phone as Sasha hung up. Melinda walked out of the kitchen she heard the whole conversation.
"Was she OK"?
"Yeah great Kathy is trying to push me out of her life, I won't let her"
"You are a wonderful Father, we will get a lawyer , and make sure you get the visiting rights you deserve"
"I don't want to take her from Kathy she is a good Mom, but I'm a great Dad too". Melinda touched his face, and whispered, "You are amazing, lets go eat, remember I'm eating for two". Toby smiled as he kissed Melinda's stomach, and the two of them walked into the kitchen, to have dinner.

Chapter 10
Melinda woke up seeing Toby sitting up just staring into space. "Toby did you sleep at all"?
"Yeah a couple of hours my mind is working overtime"
"Oh Toby are you worried about us having a baby or is it Sasha"
"I love you Melinda, and I have never been more happy since you walked into my life. I just had a horrible last few years, and I don't want anything to go wrong with us"
"I'm not going anywhere you are stuck with me"
Toby smiled as he snuggled close to her, she laid her head on his chest. "Toby why don't you call in sick"?
"No I can't but maybe you can meet me for lunch"
"I hate that Michael is so mean to you, do you want me to beat him up"? Toby smiled, "Will you". They both laugh as he kissed her, and touched her nose, "I will go start breakfast waffles sound good to you"
"Yeah perfect, I have to go to the bathroom"
"See you in the kitchen" Toby got up, Melinda went to the bathroom. Toby started breakfast, and Melinda walked in sitting down.
"You spoil me Toby"?
"Not enough"
Toby brought over the waffles, and put some strawberries on her plate. She smiled, 'Where is the whip cream"?
"Melinda whip cream"
"Yeah please" He walked over grabbing it putting some on, as he sat down having his waffles with maple syrup. They were laughing when Melinda dropped her fork.
"Melinda what is wrong"?
"Toby it is kicking feel " Toby got up kneeling down feeling her stomach. He smiled, "OMG this is amazing"
"You must have felt this with Sasha"?
"No Kathy never let me in on the special stuff. I wanted to be involved she didn't let me go to the ultrasound appointment"
"Toby that is awful why"?
"I don't know really I think she wasn't happy, and she blamed me"
"Who wouldn't be happy with you"?
"Kathy"
Melinda touched his chin, "I promise you, I will never treat you that way, I am so happy being part of your life"
Toby smiled, "I love you Melinda, I love our baby, and I love Sasha. I have so much to live for but most of all you made me happy again"
"You deserve to be happy"
Toby kissed her stomach, "Well you better feed this little guy"
"Guy you think it is a son"?
"I want it to be a boy more than anything, I have my girl, I would love a son. I would make sure he doesn't grow up like his Daddy. I would make sure he stuck up for himself, and was brave not like me"
"Toby you are amazing if your talking about Michael he is the coward not you"
"Really I take his crap all day, that is really brave"
"Your to kind, but starting now you will not let that man put you down. You do that for me, or I will beat him up"
Toby smiled, "You would but I will put Michael in his place, well I will try"
Melinda hugged Toby, she loved him with all her heart, she hated thinking anyone would hurt him, but she would always be his rock, and if she had to she would put Kathy, and Michael in their place, because he didn't deserve their crap.
