"Are Ethan and Sienna with Bethany?" Teddy asked.
"Yeah, for now, anyways." Spencer said. "I know she won't be able to watch them forever."
Teddy tried to sit up in her hospital bed, but she was in too much pain to move a single bone. "Owe."
"Do you need more pain medicine?"
"Owe... Yes, please." Teddy groaned. Spencer handed her her bottle and she took a pill which immediately eased her pain.
"I should have stayed here with you yesterday." Spencer said, staring at his helpless wife. "I knew I should have. You needed me."
"You wouldn't have been able to go back with me." She said. "It was better for you to be with Ethan and Sienna than here."
"Do you still feel like that? You rather have me with them."
"No. You need to stay with me now. You're not allowed to leave unless you're going to see the baby, getting food, or going home to change and shower."
Spencer chuckled. "I'm happy you're healthy. I don't know what I would do if I lost you. I heard you were bleeding dangerously."
Teddy nodded. "The placenta just erupted and I had to have an emergency c-section to get it and the baby out or I could have died, the baby too."
"She's beautiful, just like you." He said.
"I want to see her, to meet her." She said.
"I could go ask a nurse if you can."
"Later."
"Daddy, you're back." Ethan said.
"Where's mommy?" Sienna asked.
"Come here." Spencer said. "I want to show you both something." He took his phone out and pulled up a photo he took of the new baby. "Look, this is your new baby sister."
"She's blue." Sienna said.
"Why is she blue?" Ethan asked.
"She's not blue. She's just under a blue light. You see, she was born really early and not fully developed. She has to be under this light to help her develop more." Spencer explained.
"Is mommy coming home?" She asked.
"No, not yet. Mommy had surgery on her tummy and won't be home for three more days."
"Why?" Ethan asked.
"Because her tummy is healing from the surgery."
Spencer went up to his room and took a quick shower and then quickly got dressed. He grabbed a few things to bring back with him to the hospital before he left.
"Daddy, you're leaving?" Ethan asked.
"Why you leaving?" Sienna asked.
"I need to go back to the hospital to be with mommy" Spencer said. "But grandma is going to fly out tomorrow to help out with you two. Won't that be fun, hanging out with grandma?"
"Can I come with you?" Ethan asked.
"I'll see you in the morning, okay?" He gave Ethan a hug before he left. "Thanks for watching them again, Beth." He shouted, as he left the house.
When he arrived back to the hospital, he saw Teddy getting helped into a wheel chair by a nurse.
"Where are you going?" Spencer asked.
"To see McKenzie." She smiled. "How's the kids?"
"They miss you." He said. "They wanted to come. But my mom will be out tomorrow to help out with them and give them attention we're unable to give them right now."
"That's nice of her."
"Teddy, so to see the baby, you'll have to wear this bracelet and type in the code to enter the NICU. Also you'll have to wash your hands before we enter the nursery." The nurse said. "Are you ready to go meet your baby."
"Yes." She smiled. "Spence, are you coming?"
"Yeah."
Spencer followed Teddy and the nurse to the NICU. She showed the two of them where to wash their hands and for how long so they won't bring in unwanted germs. Once they washed their hands, the nurse brought them to the baby and then left them be.
"She's so small." Teddy murmured. "But she's perfect."
"She definitely is." Spencer said.
"You can touch her." A NICU nurse said. "You can put your hands through those holes and gently touch her."
Teddy nodded and looked up at Spencer. "Do it, Spence."
"You should first." He said.
Teddy breathed out and slowly placed her hands through the holes and placed them on her daughter; one hand on her head and the other on her feet. She felt like crying when she felt her daughter, but she held herself together not to.
Teddy rubbed her lips together and looked up at her husband. "Spence, our baby."
Spencer smiled and wrapped his arms around her from behind. "I love you." He whispered into her ear, following by kissing her on her cheek.
"Yeah, so you can drive Teddy's car if you need to get around or get out of the house." Spencer said. "She won't be able to do any driving for a couple of weeks while she's healing."
"Right, you said she had a c-section." Linda, his mother, said. "How is the baby?"
"She's good. Still under the blue light, but good. The nurses are having Teddy pump breast milk so they are able to feed her."
"Oh. How much is she eating a day?"
"Just a couple of ounces a day."
Spencer and his mother entered the house, where they were greeted by Ethan and Sienna. Spencer stayed around the house for a couple of hours before he decided to head back to the hospital to be with his wife.
"Can I come?" Sienna asked Spencer as he headed towards the front door.
"Senna, you won't have any fun like you would if you stay with grandma."
"I wanna see my mommy." She whined. "I want my mommy."
Spencer sighed and then nodded. "Alright, fine. Can you go get your shoes?"
"Yay."
Spencer told his mother he was bringing Sienna with him before they left. When they arrived at the hospital, Spencer brought Sienna up to the maternity floor where Teddy was resting in her room, watching a movie.
"Mommy!" Sienna exclaimed. Spencer placed her down on the floor and she ran over to her mother's bedside.
"Aw, come here and give me a hug." Teddy patted a spot beside her on the bed and hugged her daughter. "Oh, I missed you."
"Where's sister?"
"Well she's in a special room still growing." She explained. "She wasn't supposed to be born yet."
"Why are you still fat?"
"That's not nice, Sienna." Spencer said. "Mommy's not fat."
"Yeah, huh."
"Well that's because it will take a few weeks for my belly to get back to normal." Teddy said.
"When are you coming home?"
"Tomorrow actually." She smiled.
"With sister?"
"No, not with sister. She'll need to stay here a few more weeks until she's healthy enough to bring home."
