"No, I have never heard or seen him until September when he called me." Teddy said. "He left and said good luck to me when my daughter was almost three weeks old."

"What's exactly did he say when he contacted you?"

"He said give me parental rights or I'll take you to court." She said. "But you can see why I'm not. He's not in her life for almost four years of her life, but now all the sudden does? Absolutely not."

"Yes, I understand." Her lawyer said, looking over papers.

"My father-in-law is a lawyer and he said I don't have a case. I mean, I do, but he said I'll win without a doubt since he was absent her whole life... What do you think?"

"Well I do agree that there is a very low probability that Mr. Thompson will win his case. But there is still a chance the judge will say let's give him a chance and see if he can step up to be a father."

"I don't want that." Teddy said.

"I understand, and I want just what you want. So I'm here to help you win. I'm positive we'll be able to win without a doubt. Just from his records... So we'll be in touch if either you or I gather any new information, and if not, I'll see you in court in January."

She nodded. "Thank you."


"You don't have to, but you can." Teddy said. "It's my battle not yours."

"I think you would have a better chance at winning if the judge saw that you're not a single mother like he may claim." Spencer said.

"Why would he claim that? Our marriage is in the public records." She said. "I just wish I didn't have to deal with this. He wasn't supposed to be giving me any sort of trouble. But now I can't even enjoy my pregnancy or even our first year of marriage, Spencer."

"Teddy, Hun, just forget about him until the time comes that you will see him in court."

"It's just really difficult to do."

"That's why you have me." He said.

"So are we going to Denver for Christmas?"

"Actually I was just thinking it'd be nice to just stay here, if it's fine with you." Spencer said. "You and I know how busy it is that time of year."

"I know, but I thought it'd be nice to see my family. But it's fine if you don't think we should. I'll just maybe see them when McKenzie is born."

"Teddy, if you really want to, then I could buy tickets right now. Just tell me and I will."

"No, you're right. It is a very busy and stressful time to travel. And plus, tickets are probably very expensive, if not sold out." She agreed. "We can just spend our first Christmas here as a family together. Which reminds me, you need to help me put up the tree."

"A fake one?" Spencer asked.

"Of course. I just bought one online and it came the other day. But I need help putting it up because I'm pregnant and all."

Spencer smiled and rubbed his wife's arms up and down. "We wouldn't want this cute little pregnant woman to get hurt."

Teddy looked down at her stomach, placing her hand on it. "Do you think she'll have blonde or brown hair?"

"I don't know."

"Maybe she'll be like Sienna and get my blonde. But I really want her to get your gorgeous blue eyes."

"You think I have gorgeous eyes?" He grinned.

She smiled. "I've always did love them."

"Well the kids are in bed, what should we do?" He asked.

"You know what I could really go for? A foot massage. They've been swollen all day."

"I could do that." Spencer said. "Here, you just lay down and relax."

"You're the best." Teddy lay down on the sofa and placed her legs across her husband's lap. She leaned back, having her head sink into the pillow, and rested her eyes shut as he began to rub them. "Mmm..."

"You like this?"

"Mmm... Yes. Please don't stop."

Omg. I was serious when I said STOP stealing my stories. You didn't think I went on Wattpad, did you? Just for you to know, because I'm sure you're reading this, story, I'm going to continue to call you out until you stop. This is called copyright. Is it really that difficult for you to write your own story? If you can't make up your own stories, then just read them. Like seriously stop.

Now to everyone else, thanks for reading! I'll probably post a couple more chapters today.
