***ENGLISH ISN'T MY LANGUAGE***

"I'M PREGNANT, OK! YOU FUCKING GOT ME PREGNANT!" Teddy yelled slapping the palms of her hands against the table…

…...

At first Owen didn't know how to react, a baby, all his life had been his greatest dream, to have a child with the woman he loved as the fruit of their immense love. He would be lying if he said that that thought hadn't crossed his mind in recent weeks but his relationship with Teddy was still so new that he was afraid to speak on the subject, he feared it would happen the same as on other occasions.

Teddy looked at Owen carefully, waiting for a reaction, some gesture that would let her know what he thought of the news that she had just give him, but he didn't show signs of being upset or happy, she got up from her seat and began to pass back and forth with one arm hugging herself and with her other hand covering her mouth. A baby, to tell the truth, although she had never openly confessed, having a child was one of her biggest dreams, she could spend hours imagining what her life would be like if she had a baby. She would be lying if she said that that thought hadn't crossed her mind recently, but her relationship with Owen was still so new that she was afraid to talk about it, she was afraid that he would think she was pushing things further and that eventually he would get scared and leave. Little did they know that they shared the same thought and the same fear.

A few seconds later Teddy couldn't contain herself anymore and burst into tears, Owen reacted immediately and rushed towards her.

"Hey, hey, hey... don't cry!" He was trying to hug her but she flinched away. "Teddy, look at me! Look at me darling, look at me!" Owen forced her to look him in the eyes taking her face in his hands. "I'm not angry". He said with a smile and then gave her a soft kiss on the lips.

"Aren't you?" She asked in an almost childlike voice.

"Why would I be?"

Teddy began to pass again, exasperated "Because we've been together just a month and a half, Owen! What we have, whatever this is, it's so new we still don't figure out all the steps and there's already a baby in the picture... Tell me this doesn't scare you!"

"Why should it? I know you, you know me... we know we work".

Teddy couldn't help but smile at the same words that Owen had told her on their first night together when she started to freak out at the thought of things not working out between them.

"What if it doesn't?" She responded by crying and laughing at the same time.

"I can't think like that... But I know you do because I know everything about you... you're my best friend Teddy… my light when everything is dark, the one who laughs at my bad jokes... the mother of my child".

Once again Teddy couldn't contain herself and burst into tears again, but not of sadness this time. "We're having a baby"

"We're having a baby". Owen wrapped her in his arms and then kissed her passionately then broke the kiss and knelt in front of her placing his face in front of her belly whispering "Hey there, I'm your daddy and I already love you, I love you two" making Teddy laugh softly. Standing up again he placed a chaste kiss on Teddy's forehead. "I love you... you... you just gave me one more reason to live, since that night when you opened the door in the middle of the night every day you give me more reasons to do it, you are my light".

"I was so scared of your reaction." Teddy said shyly biting her lip which Owen freed from between her teeth with his thumb.

"It takes two to make a baby. Was that why you were acting like...?"

"Say it, like a bitch, say it!" She answered laughing. "You always tell me when I'm being an ass".

Owen laughed loudly. "Well yes, like a bitch... Was it fear or hormones? Should I fear for my life?"

Teddy laughed too. "I don't know, but I think a mixture of both". Owen grimaced feigning pain.

"Then I'd better not cross your path when the hormones are playing tricks on you".

"I can't believe it Owen... all my life I dreamed of being a mom and... I had let go of that dream so many years ago…"

"I also dreamed of being a father... but now it's not a dream Teddy, it's a reality and..." Letting go of Teddy from his arms Owen went to take his computer and then to sit on the couch by the window

"What are you doing?" Teddy asked confused. "You don't plan to start doing baby shopping right now, do you?"

"Oh, no... but don't give me ideas".

"So?"

"I'm starting my life in Germany with my family". Owen replied with a warm smile.

"What? Owen, I don't understand anything. What are you talking about? What are you doing?" Teddy sat next to him still not understanding what Owen was up to, without hesitating he brought her to him with one arm and she snuggled to his side.

"I'm going to send my resignation letter to Miranda... there's nothing holding me back in Seattle".

"But Megan and your mom?"

"They will understand and I'm sure that's what they would want me to do... now you and our baby". He said and placed his hand on her belly. "You are my family... you know that for me the most important thing is family".

Moments after Owen began writing his resignation letter, Teddy placed her hand gently on top of his. "Owen, wait... I'm not sure about this".

"Sure about what? Of me moving in with you here to Germany? Or... About us?"

"No, no, no, I'm very sure of us". She answered smiling widely. "What I'm not sure about is if I want us to stay here in Germany".

"Why not? I mean, I know you don't like Germany, I don't like here either but it's an incredible country to raise a child, you have a very important job and you're about to open your clinic for refugees".

"I know that, I know that and believe me I love my job and what I'm doing here is just... you know how was my childhood Owen, until a few weeks ago I had no one to call family and now I have you and with luck in a few months we'll have our baby in our arms, at last I feel that I belong to a family, to the family I never had and I want the same for our baby... I want it to be born and to grow up close to its granny, its aunty... I want it to grow up with a family".

Owen's eyes filled with tears every more and more with every word that came from Teddy's lips and God he loved her so much! If at that moment someone asked him to describe his love for her it would be impossible, what he felt for her was difficult and impossible to explain, but in any case what came closest was "Infinite love".

"Grandma Evelyn will be heels over head when she knows the news we have for her". Owen said with a lump in his throat.

"And Aunty Megan too". No more words were needed, both hugged and cried with happiness, without thinking twice Owen put his computer aside and Teddy straddled him, he stand up taking her from the bottom and she immediately wrapped her legs on his hips and her slender arms around his neck, still kissing Owen sat her on the kitchen island trusting his hands inside her silk shirt caressing her soft back she just let herself go, kissing him and moaning against his lips.

"I love you so, so much". Owen said against the skin of her neck as he placed soft butterfly kisses making her moan softly, she just threw her head back to give him better access.

"Make love to me, now… please". Teddy said almost breathlessly making Owen laugh softly.

"I'm going to make love to you so soft, slow and mind-blowingly that if you weren't already pregnant I'd probably get you pregnant tonight". Without giving her more time to answer Owen carried her in his arms making her laugh and took her to their room laying her with extreme delicacy on the bed and removing one by one her clothes and then his owns, once they were both naked their kisses and their caresses increased more and more the temperature of their bodies accelerating their breathing.

"Come on". Teddy panted, bringing Owen closer to her body with her legs around his hips, sinking her ankles into his buttocks, wanting him close to her, in her.

Out of nowhere Owen sat up on bed. "Wait, wait... And what if... What if I hurt the baby?" This made Teddy laugh loudly.

"Owen, you're a doctor for God's sake, you know that's impossible!"

"I know, I know, but... What if I'm too rough and I hurt you and the baby?"

Teddy sat on the bed covering herself with the sheets, running her hand over her exasperated and amused face. "Owen, you know the female anatomy, right? There's no way you can hurt the baby!"

"Ok, maybe not hurt the baby, but how about an infection or something?"

Teddy could tell that the next few months would be hellish if Owen was going to be that paranoid and overprotective all the time. "Should I worry because you infect me with something?"

"NO!" Owen replied with a frown. "But..."

"But nothing, Owen! We had sex this morning and nothing happened! We had sex yesterday and the day before, oh and this Sunday? We practically didn't get out of bed!"

"But we didn't know you were pregnant!"

"Ok Owen, you need to stop, this is getting ridiculous".

Owen huffed and sat on the edge of the bed facing her. "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... it's just... I want everything to be perfect, I'd hate for something to happen to you or our baby". He said taking her hands between his and looking her straight in the eyes. "You know what? I won't take any risk; I'll use protection".

"Oh, God!" Teddy just flopped down on the bed, rolling her eyes as Owen walked around the room looking for condoms, suddenly she started to laugh uncontrollably to the point of not being able to control her body.

Owen looked at her confused. "What? What is so funny?"

"T-that" Teddy tried to answer, but laughter wouldn't let her. "THAT... WE'VE BEEN SPENDING MONEY USELESSLY IN CONDOMS SINCE I DON'T KNOW WHEN!" Then she burst out laughing again, Owen wanted to hold back a bit but it was impossible, he joined her in bed laughing loudly, to the hell the condoms once they began kissing there was no turning back and indeed, he blew her mind with his soft caresses that more than caresses were signs of adoration.

In the following days Teddy started to prepare everything for their departure, but unfortunately things were not as simple and fast as she and Owen would have liked, finding someone suitable to replace her was a difficult task, since she had taken over MedCom the bar had been left very high without mentioning all the plans and preparations she had already made for her refugee clinic; she wasn't going to lie, it hurt her deeply to leave her job especially her clinic, in it she had invested too much time, planning, tears and laughter. She would also lie if she said that she hadn't asked herself more than once if this was the right thing to do, Owen was right, her job was too important to throw it away like that, but she wasn't throwing it for something unimportant, she was choosing her family over it, her baby, Owen, her person.

Nothing in the world would make her give up the possibility of forming a family, a complete family; if a few years ago she was willing to give up MedCom only because of her friendship with Owen with many more reasons she would renounce now that they were together, that they loved each other and that their love had created the most beautiful thing love could create.

Between preparations to leave Germany and settle back in Seattle the days continued to pass and each day that passed was better than the previous, well, almost better; As the pregnancy progressed more symptoms began to be appear, the nausea and vomiting not only in the morning but also managed to wake her up in the middle of the night to take her running to the bathroom, Owen close behind her, always at her side, always caring, always loving.

Two weeks after Teddy gave Owen the good news, both were preparing for the first ultrasound…
