A few months went by and Spencer and Teddy's relationship began to become much more serious. They haven't been dating for long, but they have already been talking about living together. They loved each other and Spencer, from the moment he laid his eyes on Teddy, knew he was going to marry that girl. He knew everything about her, so did she with him, or at least she knew a lot. Spencer thought he lost her when she moved and would never see her again. But, look, here they are together at last.

After three months of dating, Teddy and Spencer tried to have sex with each other. But as Spencer was on top of her, memories of when she was raped flooded back to her and she freaked out. She knew this would probably happen because whens she first experienced sex, it was horrific. Spencer, being the kindhearted man he is, understood her feelings. He kept telling her that she could trust him and nothing would happen to her as long as she was with him. They ended up not having sex that night, but they did try again a few weeks later. This time Teddy mentally prepared herself and kept reminding herself Spencer isn't and won't ever be like her rapist. She trusted him. She loved him. She thought if she had one good experience with sex, she could probably forget about being raped and that horrific experience and actually enjoy it.

Teddy didn't freak out this time. Spencer made sure throughout it she was okay and if she wanted to stop, he would understand. He kept kissing her and assuring her she was okay. That's what Teddy loved about him. He was understanding and never pressured her into something. He knew she went through a lot as a teenager and knew all she really needed was someone to love her.

Teddy laid her head on Spencer's bare chest with her arm wrapped around him. She was tracing his abs with her finger and looked up and smiled at him. Spencer smiled back and kissed her on her lips.

"I love you, Teddy." He whispered.

"I love you too."

By the time Christmas came along, Spencer decided to propose to Teddy. He had gotten a nice diamond, a cushion-cut diamond, circled by diamonds, with diamonds around the band, for her.

Teddy had spent Christmas with Spencer's family in La Jolla. One of his Aunts and Uncles owned a house on the beach. It was no surprise to her that they could afford one. Spencer told her that his parents owns half a mountain. Spencer waited until the perfect moment to ask Teddy. They decided to get away from his family and walk on the beach, as the sun set.

"It seems like everyone in your family is a lawyer. How come you're not one?" Teddy asked.

"Because I don't want to be one. I'm in to music." Spencer said. "And you."

Teddy smiled and blushed a little when he said that. Spencer suddenly stop walking and decided this would be the time and place to do it.

"Spence, come on." Teddy said. "What are you doing?"

"Shh... I have something to tell you." He said. He was quiet for a moment thinking of how to begin as he looked at her. He decided he would keep it nice and short. "I love you, Teddy. And because I love you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you. And with that..." Teddy watched him as he got down on his one knee and pulled out the box, which revealed a gorgeous diamond. "Teddy Duncan, will you do me the best honor and marry me?"

Teddy was smiling and nodding uncontrollably. "Yes. Yes. Yes!" Spencer placed the ring on her finger and she jumped into him, and gave him a long kiss. He placed her back down, and she held out her left hand, admiring her new ring. "I've never own anything this gorgeous before."

"I saw it and I knew it was for you." Spencer smiled. "I love you."

"I love you." Teddy wrapped her arms around his neck again, and kissed him.

The two of them headed back to his Aunt's and Uncle's beach house, where they could tell everyone the news. Everyone gathered into the dining room, when they arrived back, for dinner. During dinner, Spencer decided he would announce it to his family. He waited till desert to tell everyone since everyone is at their happiest.

"Everyone, quiet." Spencer began. "I have something to say."

"Ugh!" One of his cousins, Violet, groaned. "Nobody wants to hear what you have to say, Spencer."

"Violet, be quiet, I'm sure it's important." Her sister, Megan, said sarcastically with a laugh.

"It is important actually." He said. "Teddy and I are getting married."

Immediately everyone started to speculate that Teddy was pregnant because they haven't even been dating for a year, and they're already engaged.

"No, she's not pregnant." Spencer said, very annoyed they would even think that. "I love her and she loves me." Spencer looked over at Teddy and smiled, placing his hand on top of her's. "And we want to spend the rest of our lives together."

"You know, unlike the rest of the family, I'm happy for you two." Harper, another cousin, said. "Now I gotta see this ring he got you. If it's not nice and big, I'll get him to get you a new one." She got up from where she was sitting and walked over to Teddy. She looked at Teddy's ring, and studied it. "That's beautiful. And this guy picked it out for you?"

Teddy laughed. "I think it's pretty great too."
