Teddy drove Tiffanie back to Spencer's house so she and him could tell the kids together about them splitting up. Spencer and Teddy sat their kids in front of them in the living room. They were both uncertain on how to approach the topic of them getting a divorce.
"So there's going to be a bunch of changes happening the next couple of months." Spencer began.
"But it doesn't mean we don't love you both any less." Teddy added. "Daddy and I are splitting up."
"You're breaking up?" Tiffanie questioned.
Teddy nodded. "Mommy and daddy are breaking up."
"Why?" Dominic asked.
"Well..." Teddy was uncertain on how to answer it.
"Mom and I have been suffering with many problems in our relationship the past year and a half, and we thought we could fix things." Spencer said. "But we couldn't."
"We decided we'd be happier just to end things than be in a relationship where we're not happy." Teddy added. "We tried to improve our relationship for you guys, so we're sorry you're going to have to go through this dramatic change with us."
"I don't want mommy and daddy to break up." Tiffanie said as she got up to give both her parents a hug.
"I know, Annie." Teddy said. "We didn't either. But we're still a family even though daddy and I won't be married or living together anymore."
"Where are you living then, mom?" Dominic asked.
"With grandma and grandpa until I get my own place." Teddy said. "Your father and I agreed that Tiffanie will come with me and you'll be with him until we agree on child custody and everything."
"I won't see daddy anymore?" Tiffanie asked.
"No, you'll see me every weekend." Spencer smiled as he picked her up. "I still need this girl in my life." He gave her a kiss on her cheek. "You can be the only girl in my life."
Teddy rolled her eyes. "I'm gonna go pack the rest of my clothes and everything if that's okay with you, Spencer."
"Yeah, go ahead, I don't care."
"Like you ever care." Teddy said under her breath as she left the room.
It took her a couple of hours to pack everything and get it all down to her car. She had Tiffanie say bye to her father and then the two of them left, heading back to the Duncan household.
Teddy could immediately smell delicious food being made which meant one thing, PJ was home cooking. She went into the kitchen and saw Skylar and her mom sitting around the kitchen table while PJ cooked.
"Is there an occasion on why everyone is here?" Teddy asked as she walked over to give Skylar a hug.
"Yeah, we're celebrating you leaving that jerk, Spencer." Amy said. "You know I never liked him."
"Mom, please don't be mean towards my children's father." Teddy said. "He's not a jerk. We just couldn't work out."
"I think you both needed some sessions with Dr. PJ over here." PJ said.
Teddy rolled her eyes. "I doubt it. We fell in love with our high school selves. We're just not the same person we fell in love with. And I'm okay with it. We'll try to put our differences aside and try to be friends for the kid's sake and that's that."
Back at Spencer's house, he was feeling sad that his relationship with Teddy, all these years, had finally ended. Having the house empty was very depressing. He knew when child custody was settled, Teddy would have both the kids majority of the time and it's just hard for him to imagine, him being the only one living in this five bedroom house.
"Dad, what's for dinner?"' Dominic asked walking into his father's office.
"I'll just order pizza." Spencer said, reaching for his cell phone that sat on his desk, beside his keyboard. "What kind do you want?"
"Can we get gourmet chicken?"
"Sure, I don't care."
Fifteen minutes later, the pizza arrived at the house. Spencer paid the delivery man, and his son and him sat at the empty, kitchen table and ate in silence.
"Mom's really not coming back?" Dominic asked.
"Afraid not."
"I miss mom."
"I know, me too."
11 and 1/2 years ago...
"You got to be kidding me." Teddy groaned, when she saw her ex-boyfriend as the new prince at the amusement park. She walked over to Spencer who was taking pictures with little kids. "You're the new prince?"
"Hi, Teddy." Spencer smiled. "Yeah, isn't it great?"
"W-What happened at your in store model job?"
"Toni blew all of our cover about being dumb, talking about our physics test so Rain fired us all." Spencer explained. "And then I heard SAL was hiring so here I am as the prince. I seriously didn't know you worked here as the princess though. But this is great."
"Kind of hard to believe." Teddy replied scanning the area of the park they're in. "Look, since we're partners now, we don't need to make things awkward between us. I mean, we're professionals." Teddy said.
"Oh, yeah, yeah... Professionals."
Present Time...
"Dad! Hello?" Dominic said. "Are you even listening to me?"
"Huh, uh, yeah. What?"
"Tomorrow can I go over to Jason's?"
"Yeah, sure. I need to do a couple of things anyways."
"Are you okay, dad?"
Spencer looked up at his son. "Yeah..."
11 and 1/2 Years ago...
"And when the dance ended, the prince and princess shared a kiss."
Spencer cupped Teddy's face and leaned in for a kiss. When their lips broke, Teddy stared up at Spencer and had her left fingers touching her lips.
"The prince and princess headed back to their palace and lived happily ever after."
Teddy ran away when their skit ended. Spencer called after her but she ignored him and ran back into the character changing room. Teddy quickly changed out of her princess outfit and drove home. That kiss they shared, made Teddy feel butterflies in her stomach. Why did it?
Spencer stopped by Teddy's house on the way home from SAL. He knocked on the door and saw Teddy answering it.
"Hey, can we talk?" He asked. Teddy nodded and she closed the door behind her when she exited the house. "I just wanted to make sure you're okay. You ran away."
"I'm not okay."
"Teddy, I feel terrible about this. You had the job first and if kissing me is going to make you feel this bad, then I'm just going to quit."
"No, Spencer... It's not that the kiss was bad... But the kiss was good."
"Oh." Spencer smiled.
"I mean, I wasn't expecting to enjoy it as much as I did." Teddy said. "I was actually prepared to be disgusted."
"Oh, well thanks..."
"Now, I don't know what to do."
Spencer grabbed Teddy's hand. "Teddy, breaking up with you was the biggest mistake of my life. Will you please give me another chance?"
Spencer cupped Teddy's face and slowly gave her a kiss. Teddy smiled when their lips broke and slowly nodded her head. Spencer smiled and gave her another kiss and hugged her when their kiss broke.
Present Time...
"Mommy, can you tell me a story?" Annie asked.
"Tomorrow I will." Teddy said. "Mommy's very tired tonight."
"Promise?"
"Yes, I promise." Teddy said. She gave her daughter a kiss on her forehead. "I love you. Sweet dreams."
"Love you, mommy."
Teddy reached over to turn off her lamp and she and her daughter went to sleep together, down in the basement of Teddy's parents house.
