"You're such a pretty girl, oh my goodness..." Teddy Altman held her one month old baby daughter close to her as she stared out into the beautiful Seattle skyline.
Baby Allison was just starting to smile a little bit, and boy did she light up when her mommy spoke to her.
"Who's mommy's pretty girl, is it you? Oh yes it's you, it sure is you!" Teddy gushed and placed numerous kisses on her daughters chubby cheeks.
"Am I interrupting?" Owen Hunt suddenly appeared in the doorway of Allison's nursery, beaming at his girls. Leo next to him, holding his hand. But once Leo saw Teddy, he released from Owens grasp and ran up to her.
"Mama!" He yelled. Teddy and Owen were grateful Allison was still awake because although cute, Leo's yelps bellowed against the walls.
"Hi my sweet boy!" Teddy let Leo nestle into her free side.
"Baby!" Leo smiled while touching Allison's face.
"Gentle Leo," Teddy smiled, "yes, your baby sister!"
"Baby, sissa!" Leo said, looking up at Teddy for approval.
Suddenly Teddy's eyes filled with tears, she still was dealing with postpartum hormones.
"That's right," Teddy beamed and looked up at Owen.
Owen set his stuff down and came back into the nursery to join his family.
"There's my sweet girl," Owen said softly while placing the sweetest of kisses atop Allison's tiny head full of strawberry-blonde hair. She closed her eyes and made the sweetest of sounds as she fell asleep.
"I'm going to put her down, I'll be out in a minute to start dinner." Teddy said, getting up with the baby in one arm, helping Leo down with the other.
"No, I'll cook. You've had a busy day already." Owen insisted.
"No. I want to. Plus your daughter is an angel. She only cried once today, and as soon as I gave her the boob she was fine!" Teddy laughed.
"Shhh!" Owen snickered. "Leo's gonna hear that and start repeating it."
"Oh please. He doesn't know that word." Teddy scoffed.
"Mama BOOB!" Leo yelled. "Mama boob, Mama boob, Mama booooooob!"
Teddy and Owen couldn't stop laughing, but quickly tried to stop as to not wake up Allison who was fast asleep.
"How was work?" Teddy asked carefully while taking a sip of water, and Owen knew why.
"It was fine. Tom shot me death glares every chance he could but other than that, he wasn't a bother."
Teddy just nodded, looking down.
"You okay?" Owen asked.
"Yeah. It's just," she took a breath, "I wish I had never done it." She said frustrated.
"Done what...?" Owen replied, concerned.
"Dated Tom. While I was pregnant with our daughter no less! Maybe Toms right, maybe I am a whore." Teddy sat back, crossing her arms.
"Stop that. You've done nothing wrong here Teddy. I'm the one who screwed up. I'm the one who neglected you for too long, let you get swept away into that slime balls arms. You were just trying to move on, be happy, while still being there for me and my bullshit. Like always." Owen shook his head.
"Yeah but-" Teddy said.
"No buts. You did everything right, Teddy. You were honest with him." Then Owens face started to turn red.
"When Tom called you a whore, in front of our daughter...I wanted to break his neck."
"I know. I couldn't believe he called me that, after I tried to let him down gently."
When Allison was just twelve hours old, and Teddy was recovering from her birth, Tom had found out about his girlfriend having her baby, not telling him, and having the "sperm donor," as Tom called him, by her side and not him. Needless to say, his true colors came out.
Amelia tried to prevent the big blow out from happening, she tried to tell Tom once again that this was inevitable and to just back away quietly, but there was no stopping him. Once he heard that Teddy had the baby and didn't tell him, he took off to Labor and Delivery like a rabid dog.
"Huh, a reunion, fun!" Tom stood in the doorway, heaving from his run.
Teddy was still groggy and out of it.
"Tom. I think you should leave." Owen said gently, trying to calming guide Tom out of the room.
"No, I think I deserve an explanation. After everything I've done for you, Altman?" Tom pressed.
"She doesn't owe you anything, Koracick. She is my best friend, this is our daughter. And you know what? We're in love, we've always been in love. And yeah, I've made some mistakes, big ones. But so has she, and we both realize that now." Owen defended.
"Tom..." Teddy began to sit up, slowly and quietly, as to not disturb her already restless daughter.
"Well?" Tom asked, in his usual arrogant tone.
"You have done a lot for me...and her, and -and I thank you for that but, Owens right. I'm in love with him. I always have been and, I tried to move on...with you. And I care about you but-I suppose deep down I knew that this wasn't going to go anywhere because the feelings weren't mutual." Teddy explained.
Tom just scoffed and shook his head.
"Wow Altman, you really are just going to crawl back to him, like always? Be Owen Hunts little whore."
"Tom!" Teddy said, shocked.
Owen was enraged, he'd had enough, his face turning beat red.
"I think you need to get out of here right now Tom, RIGHT now," Owen stepped close to his face which held a nasty smirk, "and if you EVER call the mother of my child that word again, you'll wish you never stepped foot in Seattle." Owen said sternly.
Once again Tom scoffed angrily at the couple, turning to leave, he stopped to make one last insulting remark.
"Congratulations on the product of your one night stand."
Teddy hadn't stopped crying since Toms outburst, which then led to Allison waking up and fussing. Owen comforted his girls the best he could, and soon, both were calm and content.
"I'm so sorry he said those things to you." Owen said later that evening while stroking Teddy's hair.
"Hey, that's what I am right?" Teddy said in a defeated tone, "I'm the one who led another man on while pregnant with another mans baby."
"Hey. You were trying to get your life together. Be happy. You have nothing to be ashamed or sorry for, Teddy. Everything happened the way it was supposed to. Okay?" Owen said, kissing her forehead.
"Okay." Teddy breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Allison, who had been sleeping peacefully in Teddy's arms during this conversation, stirred slightly but without waking up.
"God she's so perfect Owen. I can't believe we made her." Teddy began to cry happily.
"I know. She's beautiful, just like her mommy." Owen smiled.
"And adorable, just like her daddy." Teddy replied.
"I love you so much, Teddy." Owen whispered against her head while planting another kiss.
"I love you," Teddy whispered back, and looking down at her daughter, "I love you both so much."
Once Teddy and the baby were discharged, she and Owen packed their things from their respective residences and bought a high rise condo together in downtown Seattle. Making a move was hectic with a newborn and energetic toddler but they made it work. And now, nearly a month and half into a new relationship, a new home and parenthood things were looking up for the two of them.
Once dinner was finished, and Leo was put to bed, Teddy and Owen had just one thing on their minds. Unfortunately; they still had at least a week until they could do THAT.
"Owen, you know I want to but Carina said at least 6 weeks." Teddy said with a giggle as Owen kisses her neck slowly.
Owen continued kissing her, and running his hand through her blonde waves.
"O-Owen...stop" Teddy said, her arousal grew stronger.
Owen stopped.
"Teddy. It's been 6 weeks. How do you FEEL?" Owen smiled seductively.
Teddy just started into his bright blue eyes, filled with lust. This would be their first time together since conceiving their daughter.
"Just. Don't get me pregnant again just yet." Teddy laughed and leaped into Owens arms, wrapping her legs around his waist.
Once they got to the bedroom, everything was so surreal, perfect. Owen lit some candles, put on some soft music and pulled Teddy onto him on their bed. They slowly removed each item of clothing, while kissing one another deeply, smiling in between kisses. They were so happy, so in love.
Once completely undressed and foreplay was not enough, Owen, who respected and loved Teddy more than anything stopped.
"Are you sure you're ready?" He asked.
"I've never been more ready." Teddy smiled and kissed Owen hard.
And with that, Owen made passionate love to her. They never knew how much they needed each other than in that present moment. This was even better than Germany, and they thought the sex then was amazing. This was a whole new level. Because everything was falling into place. Sex meant something different and new now. They had their whole lives together ahead of them. They were a family. They had made it.
