Chapter Two
Teddy Altman & Owen Hunt
A/N: Hey guys, hope you enjoy it.
Teddy went to her hotel room that night not knowing what was going to happen next. She hated that feeling. She was used to being in charge of everything that was going on in her life. She was used to having a plan A, B and C. She was definitely not used to living the uncertain and that was exactly what was going to happen for the next few months.
She left her bag in the couch, took off her shoes in the middle of her way to the hotel's king size bed and laid there, staring at the ceiling for a while.
"You, little one, are the most amazing thing that has happened to me in the past few years." – she placed her hands on her belly. – "I am sorry for making you feel so many things lately. I am sorry for my lack of sleep, my poor eating habits, my crazy airplane rides…"- Teddy got interrupted by her phone ringing. – "Hello?"
"Teddy? It's Owen. Can you come over? Amelia is staying at Meredith's for the night and Betty is not here either so I think we could talk… Leo is already asleep." – said Owen, his voice cracking a little.
"I don't know if it is a good idea, Owen. We have had a crazy day today and I don't want to hurt your feelings again. Besides, it's a little late already; don't you have to go to work tomorrow?" – she got up, car keys and purse already in hand, pretending she was actually going to go out to meet him and solve this whole situation before everything had the chance to drive her crazy.
"Well, I don't think there is a way you could possibly hurt my feelings. And I asked for a day off tomorrow because I really wanted to solve our situation before it could drive you crazy, since I know how much you love to have your life all planned. I can cook for us tonight, you can stay here in my room and I take Betty's for the night. Can you please just come over?" – he seemed a little desperate with this whole situation.
"Owen…"- she took a deep breath – "It's already driving me crazy. I have been in a bad position since I saw those two lines in the 1000 pregnancy tests I took. I didn't know if I should call you, if I should come here to tell you in person. I didn't know what to do. And it was supposed to be the happiest moment of our lives." – She started sobbing on the phone.
Owen stopped pacing around the living room, his brows frowned, he was pale and scared and he had to pull up some words to calm her down.
"Hey, please don't cry. I'm going to call a sitter to take care of Leo, stay where you are, just send me the address so I can come to you. Will you?" – He has never felt so much joy and pain at the same time.
"Hi" – Teddy was already on her PJs. – "I am sorry for the clothes, but I really need to buy some stuff, all my clothes seem to be smaller" – She had that Teddy smile on her face.
"Is this supposed to be funny?" – Owen seemed to be confused.
"Well, I am trying to break some ice here. Cheer you up, cheer me up... Come on in." – She moved away from the door step so he could get in.
"Do you want to go first or do you want me to go first? – Owen couldn't stop pacing around Teddy's hotel room.
"I think you can tell me whatever it is that you came to tell me. I believe I am ready to hear your decision. I already accept what I have…"
Owen interrupted her with a long kiss, cupping her face in his both hands and then finishing it with a forehead kiss.
"I didn't come here to tell you I just want to be a part of our kid's life. I came here to tell you I love you. I have always loved you. I could never stop loving you, even when you told me to go away. I love you, Theodora. And I am sorry for not allowing you to enjoy the happiest day of your life, of our lives. I am sorry for making you go through this all alone..." – Owen suddenly stopped, placed his hands on his hips and, with a frightened look, stared at Teddy's eyes. "I am with, or I was with… I don't even know… I am with Amelia because you sent me away. I adopted Leo, Amelia jumped in to help me for a while and then his mother, Betty, came along and Amelia felt like she needed to help her. This is all complicated, but you are the one I really love. And I am willing to be with you, unless you don't want to."
"So this is really what you want? Like, no doubt? Because you going to Germany was the second time I thought we would stay together and then I ended up figuring out everything that was actually going on, and it wasn't you coming after me because you wanted me."
Owen kneeled in front of Teddy, he seemed desperate and about to cry.
"Teddy, please. I swear I went to Germany because I wanted to be with you. I know it was Amelia's idea, but deep inside you and I know that I have feelings for you and Amelia could see that too. I think I was afraid to take another step in our relationship because I really love you as a friend and I didn't wanna lose it if something went wrong. Which is a total excuse, but it is the truth. I can't imagine my life without."
_ Don't know what to do anymoreI've lost the only love worth fighting for
And I'll drown in my tears, don't they see?
And that would show you, that would make you hurt like me
