Chapter 10
*Disclaimer: I still don't anything unless I made it up*
A few minutes later…
Teddy smiled and gently rocked her sleeping daughter. Henry held his son. Paisley checked her watch. "It's getting late. I'm tired. I'm gonna go to bed," she said. She walked to her room.
Everyone looked at the clock in Teddy and Henry's room. "She's right. It is kinda get late," said Callie.
It was midnight.
There was a knock at the door. "What the hell?," said Mark. "How could anyone possibly be at the door in the middle of a blizzard?," asked Arizona. Henry handed baby Scott to Owen. He answered the door.
A couple stood at the front door. The lady and man walked in. Henry was confused. "Ummm…excuse me? You can't just barge in here!," said Henry.
"THEODORA ELIZABETH ALTMAN!," yelled the lady. Teddy froze. That was her mother's voice. A voice she hadn't heard since she was 19-years-old. Teddy had cut off all contact with her parents.
Baby McKenna was woken up by the yelling. She began crying. Teddy gently rocked her. "Shhh…baby. It's ok. I'm here," she said soothingly. McKenna's cries and wails were somewhat quieted by Teddy's calming words. Teddy got up and walked around a little bit. She gently rocked McKenna.
Teddy's parent's stormed into her room.
"What is wrong with you? How could you let yourself go, like this? You are such a little brat! All we wanted was for you to continue the family legacy and become a lawyer! You haven't spoken to us all these years. We had to find out from a friend that you lived here," yelled her father.
"I can't believe you'd do this! Actually I can. What I can't believe is that you didn't make something out of yourself!," added her mother.
Teddy stopped walking. McKenna had finally stopped crying. Teddy rocked her some more. "Please, just go away. I didn't want to be a lawyer. I wanted to be a surgeon. I'm now one of the top surgeons in the country," said Teddy.
Teddy's mom took off her heavy fur coat and threw it on top of Owen. Owen pulled it off of him. "How dare you do that! Can't you see I'm holding a baby! That ridiculous coat of yours could have suffocated him!," said Owen.
"What are you?," asked Teddy's dad. "I'm Owen Hunt. I was in the war with Teddy," answered Owen.
Scott moved around a bit and settled back into Owen's arms.
Henry walked into the room. "Mr. and Mrs. Altman, I think you should go back to whenever you came from," said Henry, trying to be polite. He handed Teddy's mom her coat.
"I don't think we've met. I'm Christine Altman and this is my husband, Joseph Altman. You must be the butler. You dress rather casual though," said Teddy's mom.
"MOM!," yelled Teddy. Henry was a little offended. "I'm Henry Burton, Teddy's husband. I'm a plastic surgeon," he said, through gritted teeth. Teddy's parents scowled at Henry. "So you're not even a useful doctor?," said Joseph (Teddy's dad). Henry took his baby from Owen and walked out of the room.
Henry sat on the couch and rocked Scott. Scott woke up and looked into Henry's eyes. Henry smiled, "Hey Buddy. What do you think of your mommy's parents?" Scott frowned and his lip quivered. "It's okay. I don't like them either," said Henry.
Teddy's mom was yelling at Teddy about being a doctor instead of a lawyer.
"I didn't want to be a lawyer! Why can't you guys just accept that?," said Teddy. Her mom placed a forceful slap on her daughter's cheek. Everyone gasped. Henry just so happened to have walked in the room a few seconds earlier. He handed Scott to Addison.
Tears fell from Teddy's eyes. "Did you just hit my wife?," asked Henry.
"You've said and done a lot of things. In all my years of living, I never thought that you'd hit me!," cried Teddy.
McKenna began wailing. "Awww Damn it! You woke up my baby," Teddy said. She walked out of the room with McKenna.
Henry was angry. How dare someone hit Teddy?
Teddy sat on the bathroom floor. She sobbed. McKenna wailed. "Baby, it's okay. Shhh… It's okay," said Teddy. McKenna stopped crying and nuzzled into Teddy's chest.
"Leave! Right now!," said Henry. Teddy's parents glared at Henry. "Fine then. We were just trying to slap some sense into our otherwise useless daughter. I can't believe that we never knew she lived next to our friend, Terry," said Teddy's father. They walked out the door.
Henry knocked on the bathroom door. "Teddy? Sweetie, I made them leave. It's okay," said Henry. He opened the door. Teddy was sitting on the floor, quietly sobbing. McKenna had fallen back asleep in her arms. Henry gently lifted McKenna from her arms.
"I'll take her," said Arizona. Henry placed McKenna in her arms.
Henry sat next to Teddy. He wrapped his arm around her and kissed her forehead. Teddy had a large red mark on her cheek. "Teddy, it's ok. They're gone," Henry said, trying to comfort her. Teddy stopped crying.
"Henry, I love you. We have wonderful kids," said Teddy.
"I love you too Teddy. Our kids are amazing," replied Henry.
