"Hi, Teddy." Beau said.

"Hi, Beau... Uh, what are you doing here?" Teddy asked.

"Oh, me and your dad have a new plan. We're carpooling."

"Really? Because he just left to pick you up."

"Well, I didn't say it was a good plan... Hey, listen, while I'm here I wanted to ask you something."

"Okay?"

"Do you have any plans Saturday night?"

"Beau that's really sweet but my life is just very complicated right now." She explained. "I have a baby, unresolved feelings for my ex still, and..."

"Woah. Woah. Woah." Beau interrupted her. "I'm not asking you out on a date."

"You weren't?"

"You see. There's this girl, Katie. She invited me out and I want to go. But the thing is, I don't want her to think it's a date. So I thought if I brought a friend, she'd get the message." He lied. "Would you come with me as a friend? You're kind of the only person I know out here beside your dad."

"So you're asking me out on a date that's not really a date so that you'll look like you're not on a date?" She questioned.

"Yes. Exactly. Just Friends."

"Hmm... Okay. I'll go, only because I want to get out of the house."

So that Saturday, Teddy had Spencer watch Gemma and she met Beau at a country-western place. Teddy was unsure why she even agreed to go now because country isn't much her thing.

"I promise you're gonna love it." He said.

I highly doubt it, Teddy thought. "So where's Katie?"

Beau looked at his phone as if he got a text from Katie. "Oh man. Katie can't make it."

"Oh... Then I guess my job here is done." Teddy said, relieved, getting up from the table.

"Hold up. As long as we're here, we might as well just hang out." He said.

"Beau, I'm just going to be honest with you. All this isn't my thing."

"What's not your thing?" He asked. "Having fun, because this is fun."

"Are you kidding me? You obviously don't know me because I'm a very fun person. Ask anyone who knows me!"

"The stay." Beau grinned, obviously enjoying how Teddy is overreacting.

"Fine. And just to prove to you I'm fun, I'll order... a Mess-O-Grub and ride that mechanical bull."


Teddy glanced down from her phone, while talking with Beau, seeing that she had gotten a new text from Spencer, wondering when she'll be back to pick up Gemma. With that, Teddy texted back soon.

"I need to go." Teddy said, placing her phone in her purse.

"Already?" Beau asked. "The night hasn't even begun yet!"

"I need to get back to my little bundle of responsibility." Teddy got up from the table. "Thanks for inviting me out to hang..." She emphasize hang. "Out wiht you and Katie, all though Katie ended up not being able to come."

"I need to be honest with you." Beau said. "Katie was never coming."

"You don't know a Katie, do you?" She questioned. He didn't answer obviously embarrassed because she figured out it was a date even though it wasn't supposed to be one. "Bye."

On the car ride to Spencer's, Teddy wondered why Beau just couldn't say he liked her, that he wanted to go on a date with her, instead of making up some fake girl. Honestly, Teddy does find Beau attractive, but is she ready to date? No. Is she ready to bring another guy, beside Spencer, into Gemma's life? No. Does Teddy need to only focus on school and her daughter? Yes. She is just not in the position to be dating. But she is surprise that even with a two month old daughter, Beau is still attracted to Teddy. Maybe because she already got her post-baby-body back?

"Aw, hi baby girl." Teddy smiled, when she grabbed her from Spencer. "Was she good for you?"

"Mainly slept." He said. "What did you do tonight?"

"Uh..." Teddy placed Gemma down in her car seat. "I met this guy at this country place."

"Country, huh? Must have been fun."

"I rode a mechanical bull." She said.

"So you went out on a date with some guy to a country place and rode a mechanical bull." Spencer said.

"Yeah... I don't think I'll be doing that again."

"What? Go on another date with him or ride the mechanical bull?"

"Who knows." Teddy smiled, placing a blanket on top of Gemma. "Thanks for watching her. I was gonna have my parents but I figured you and your parents would like to see her."

"Hey Teddy." Spencer said as he walked her to the front door. "Would you ever consider giving me another chance?"

"What?" Teddy was off guard because she never thought Spencer would ask that.

"I miss you, Teddy. And I made a huge mistake, letting you go."

"Spencer, do you remember why we broke up? You wanted me to get an abortion! You wanted me to kill this little girl off because you didn't want to own up to your mistake. Do I miss you? Yes. Do I still love you? Of course. But do I think we could ever get back together? Probably not."

"I know, and I'm sorry for all that, but don't you want us to be a little family? Give me another chance." Teddy didn't answer. "Give me one date. That's all I'm asking for."

"Fine. But Gem is coming."
