"You know, Spencer." Teddy began. "I really thought we could have improved our marriage for the kid's sake, but I guess I was wrong.
"What are you saying then, Teddy? He asked.
"What do you think I'm saying? I'm done with your crap." Teddy said. "I'm not happy and neither are you when we constantly argue. I want a divorce."
"If we weren't gonna work, I should have taken that scholarship so I could do something with my life I would have enjoyed more." Spencer said. "I wouldn't have had married you either."
Teddy felt like crying when she heard him say that; I wouldn't had married you.
"Spencer, I told you to take that scholarship. We could have figured something out. I shouldn't had been the thing preventing you to do so." Teddy said. "I really thought you could have made it to the major leagues."
"After twelve years of being together, this is really the end." Spencer said. Teddy took off her diamond wedding ring and handed it to Spencer. "No, keep it." He said placing it back in Teddy's hand. "I bought it for you."
Teddy walked over to her dresser and placed her diamond ring in her jewelry box and went to pack some clothes since she won't be staying at the house that night or any other night again.
Teddy sat on the floor and stared at a wedding photo that was on top of her dresser.
6 1/2 Years Ago...
Young twenty-two year old, Teddy, was helped into her wedding dress. She wore a long, lace, strapless gown that was form fitting. She also wore her long blonde hair down and curled with a long veil. Teddy placed her diamond necklace and matching diamond stud earrings on her which Spencer gave her last Christmas. Once she was ready, Teddy walked over to the mirror and stared at herself smiling.
"Oh, Teddy, you look beautiful." Amy said, standing beside her daughter. "Are you ready? It's not too late to back out. We can still get a refund on the food."
"Mom, I love Spencer and he loves me and we have a son together." Teddy smiled. "I'm ready for this."
"Knock, knock." Bob Duncan, Teddy's father said walking in covering his eyes. "Is everyone decent?"
"Oh, Bob, look at our daughter." Amy said. "We made this."
Teddy turned around so her father could see her. Bob started to get emotional seeing his eldest daughter minutes away of marrying her high school sweetheart. When it was time to head out to the ceremony, Teddy hooked her arm onto her father's arm and followed the bridal party out. The bridesmaids coupled up with their assigned groomsmen and walked out together, one by one.
"I'm kind of nervous, dad." Teddy said. It finally hit her. She is getting married. "I think I should have taken that tequila shot Jennie offered me."
"Are you sure this is what you want, to marry Spencer?" Bob asked one last time. "It's not too late to just make a run for it. We can hop into my car and drive off right now."
Teddy laughed. "As much as that sounds like so much fun to do, it's what I want."
The wedding planner told Teddy it was time to walk out. She took a deep breath and walked out the doors of the building with her father were she was waiting for the ceremony to begin, since they were having an outdoor wedding.
Teddy felt very nervous and a little embarrass walking down the aisle with everyone looking at her. She never liked being the center of attention, but when her eyes met Spencer's eyes, she felt much calmer and more secure.
When she reached the end of the aisle, Bob placed Teddy's hand in Spencer's and took his seat beside his wife.
"We are gathered here today..." The priest began.
For about fifteen minutes, he talked about love and about Teddy and Spencer and how marriage is never an easy thing. Once he finished talking, it was time to say the vows. Spencer and Teddy decided to not do traditional vows only because they wanted it to be more personal.
"Teddy, you are the most amazing girl I have ever met. You are smarty, funny, kind, beautiful, and such a wonderful mother to our son. I'm so happy I have you in my life. It's very hard to picture you not in my life. I promise to love you forever and to take care of you in your hardest and weakest and definitely craziest of times. I promise to protect you and always to be there for you. I love you and I'm happy I get to call you my wife."
"Spencer, there is so much I love about you. You are smart, witty, kind, and you always make me feel love. Even though you have been busy with school, I love how you would put time aside just to spend time with me and Dominic. I'm so glad I have you in my life because life without you is unimaginable. I feel like I'm the luckiest girl in the world." Teddy paused. "I promise I'll stand by you in your time of need and to always love you, no matter what life throws at us."
After they said their vows, Spencer placed Teddy's ring on her left ring finger and Teddy did the same with Spencer. The priest had everyone pray one last time before the ceremony was over.
"Amen." Everyone said.
"Spencer, Teddy, with great pleasure I pronounce you man and wife." The priest said. "Spencer, you may kiss your bride."
Spencer smiled and cupped Teddy's face with his hand as he leaned in to kiss her. When their lips broke, four year old, Dominic, ran over to his parents as they were about to walk back up the aisle.
"Ah, come here buddy." Spencer said picking him up. Spencer held Teddy's hand and the three of them walked up the aisle and back inside the building.
Present Time...
"I'm leaving." Teddy said as she entered her soon to be ex-husband's office. "I'll pick up Tiffanie from kindergarten. I want you to pick up Dominic."
"Yeah, I got it." Spencer said.
Spencer sighed in his hands as he leaned back into his chair when Teddy left. He took off his wedding band on his left hand and played with it in his hand. He looked up and stared at a picture of him and Teddy that sat on his desk.
6 and a 1/2 Years Ago...
Spencer sat at the wedding party table, watching his new wife dance with their almost four year old son. When the song ended, Teddy sat back down beside her husband and sat Dominic on her lap.
"How did I get so lucky to receive the best mom to my son?" Spencer asked. "You're cute with him."
"You're sweet." Teddy smiled as she took a sip of her Champagne.
"Mommy." Dominic said reaching for her glass.
"No, you're not allowed to drink Champagne, Nicky." Teddy said. "Here, you can drink this." She reached for a glass of sparkling cider and had her son take a sip of it and placed it back on the table.
"So I have a surprise for you." Spencer said. "I know you thought we weren't going on a honeymoon but..."
Teddy quickly caught on. "Where are we going?"
Spender smiled. "Maui."
"You're lying." Teddy said. "I thought we weren't planning on going on one because of our money situation." Spencer pulled out an envelope out of his jacket and handed it to Teddy. She opened it and pulled out two tickets plus a letter. Teddy started to smile. "This means we're really going?"
"We leave tomorrow."
"I can't wait." Teddy smiled. "I love you."
"I love you."
Present Time...
Teddy picked up Tiffanie from kindergarten and then drove over to her parent's since she is going to stay there for a while. When she arrived at the house, she went straight down to her old room and unpacked her suitcase and her daughter's suitcase. Once she was done she went up into the living room and sat on the couch beside her daughter.
"What are you watching?" Teddy asked wrapping her arm around her.
"Sadie and Katie." Tiffanie said. "Mommy, when are we going home?"
"Uh, er.." Teddy was uncertain on how to answer her question. "Well, we're going to be having a sleep over here for a couple of nights. Won't that be fun?"
"Is daddy coming too?"
"No, it's just going to be us girls." Teddy said. "We're going to have so much fun."
