First of all....Welcome to YorkieTalk. Your female could have had a split heat or she have something else going on. Over the years I have known females that will allow a male to breed them even when they are not in heat. If she was just spotting it does not sound like she was having a normal heat What is the size of your male and female and has the female had puppies before? You also mentioned that you work. Raising a litter of pups is a huge responsibility and there are many things that can go wrong with the delivery and afterwards.

There should be no problem with waiting to see the vet on Monday as long as your female is eating okay and not running any temperature. I also recommend keeping your male and female completely apart. All things considered, I think the wisest decision would be to make arrangements to have her spayed asap. I wish you the best with your babies. Please keep us updated as to how they are doing.
