Cuz even when I was flat broke
You made me feel like a million bucks
It's true
I was made for you.
-Brandi Carlile, The Story-
I have great medical insurance. That's how it started. If you had told either of us the day before that that was how it would happen, we'd both have said you were crazy. Marrying someone you'd know less than a day? Absolutely crazy.
If you'd tried to describe the quickie wedding, the rush of paperwork, the way she'd hold my hand after the surgery and during the follow-up chemo. If you'd told me a perfect stranger would help me through that...I would have laughed.. But I married that stranger. And she is perfect.
If you'd tried to explain how she'd move me into her house to look after me. Helped me pay off my medical debts. Said I could stay as long as I needed to get back on my feet, literally and figuratively. Tried to tell me what it would feel to be cared for like that. How I'd slowly fall in love. It would sound so unbelievable. But it would all be true.
The first day I felt like the old me. The first time our hands touched and we both felt the spark. The first kiss. The first time we fell asleep in each other's arms.
The first time I told you I loved you. And you cried and said it back.
So now I'd like you to join me in a toast. To my wife, Teddy. And to another twenty years.
OK, so I don't remember his name or Teddy's exact words. Sorry to everyone on my alert list expecting a Cris/Owen fic. I've only watched the season premiere and the last epi :(
I've been obsessed with this song lately (it's on the Grey's soundtrack, but I don't remember it)
I think this has tense problems, but it works in my head.
I wasn't a fan of Teddy last year, but hey, if she's happily married she won't go after our Owen ;)
