Hey! Spirit Week was a blast! Well, I posted a poll on my profile. It's for GIRL names for the new baby! And Rebecca (Sullivan's wife) and Teddy (Sullivan's daughter Teddy, not Spencer's wife Teddy) make a reappearance in the part 2 of this chapter! Except it's kinda bad :/ Don't hate me! xD
Well, are you just gonna sit there, or are you going to read and review my chapter?! xD
Chapter 14 -Things Happen For A Reason Part 1-
2 DAYS LATER- TEDDY POV-
"I'm glad I'm back home…" I say sitting down on the couch.
"Me too." Spencer says sitting next to me.
"Mom!"
"Well, there's Elliot yelling for me."
"I'll go see what the problem is." Spence says getting up.
"Okay."
SPENCER POV-
"Kids, what's the matter?" I ask getting up to the boys' room.
"Xander! He's the matter!" Elliot says.
"What'd you do Xander?" I ask.
"I was only kidding with him!" Xander replies.
"He told me we had a reading essay tomorrow in school. And I had to read Moby Dick by tomorrow!"
"Xander Lucas Walsh. You can't say that to him."
"I can if I'm messing with him!"
"No you can't. Xander, you know how hard reading is for him."
"He's faking it!"
"Xander! No he isn't. Grounded for two weeks."
"What? Why?"
"You know why. Say sorry to your brother."
"Fine. Sorry I messed with you Elliot."
"It's okay." Elliot says.
"Kids, let's go downstairs. We can do that contest your mom wanted to do. Xander, you may do this if you want, but you can't go to friends or play video games for two weeks."
"Fine." Xander says then I leave the boys' room.
"Kids, can you come down here for a little bit?" I call for the kids after I'm downstairs.
TEDDY POV-
"Yeah." Liv says coming out of her and the girls' room with Hope and Rosie.
"Okay. Who's ready to have some fun?" I say trying to be exciting.
"We are." The kids answer.
"Okay, it is time for the first, and last. Walsh baby naming contest!" I say full of excitement.
"Okay, so you each will chose a name for a boy and a girl. Then your dad and I will choose which ones will be the new baby name." I say.
"Okay." The kids agree.
"Okay, Liv. You go." I say getting out my pencil and paper.
"For a boy, Jake. And for a girl, Jenifer." Liv says. Then I write down the names.
"Okay, Xander." I say.
"For a boy, Liam. And for a girl, Lainey." He says, then I write down the names.
"Okay. Go Elliot." I say.
"If it's a boy, Brandon. If it's a girl, Brooke." Then I write down the names Elliot said.
"Rosie?" I say.
"If it's a girl, Molly. If it's a boy, Ryan." She says then I write down the names.
"Last but certainly not least, Hope?" I say.
"I don't know any good names."
"Come on Hope, you could possibly name your little sister, or little brother." I say.
"Well, I really don't know any names that you would use. The ones I know are unique."
"Well, say them." I say.
"For a girl, Nikki. And for a boy, Qameron, with a Q. But I like Noah a lot too."
"Wow, those are pretty unique. Which boy name do you like better?"
"Um, probably Noah."
"Okay." I say then write down the names.
"Thanks kids. It's almost bedtime. Why don't you get ready?" I say getting up.
"Aw…" The kids say.
"Kids." I say.
"Fine." They say before they head up to their rooms.
"May we have some us time?" Spencer asks when the kids are upstairs.
"Yep." I say then he kisses me.
"What do you wanna do?" Spence asks.
"Um, I don't know. Wanna watch a movie?"
"Sure." He says.
"What do you wanna watch?" I ask him.
"Uh, you pick. You should choose a sort of romantic one though…"
"Someone's being stubborn I see." I say. Then he laughs.
"Well, I don't know."
"Fine, what about Titanic?"
"Nah, too old."
"Romeo And Juliet?"
"More too old."
"Gnomeo And Juliet?" I ask.
"Heck to the yes." He says. Then I set everything up, and we start the movie.
A LITTLE WHILE LATER- SPENCER POV-
When the movie ends I look over and see that Teddy's asleep. I gently move her so I can get up. But she wakes up anyway.
"Hey." She says.
"Hi."
"When did I fall asleep?"
"About 45 minutes ago."
"Oh. I'm sorry."
"About?"
"Falling asleep. We didn't get much 'us time'."
"Teddy, I'm not gonna be mad at you for that."
"Spence, I've just been so- paranoid lately."
"About what?"
"The baby."
"What about the baby Teddy?"
"Losing it."
"Teddy, you shouldn't worry so much."
"I know, but. We've came so close to losing Hope, and we had a miscarriage, I'm just- worrying."
"I know. I worry too. But I'm not going to let that ruin the excitement of the new baby. And you shouldn't let the kids hear you, they'll worry."
"I know Hope's already worrying. She's been worrying since I told her I was pregnant."
"You know what you should do?"
"What?"
"Maybe name the baby after her. Or use her names. To make her feel better."
"Spence, it's a contest. It has to be fair."
"Well, you're right. But still, couldn't we consider it?"
"We'll consider all the names. But it has to be fair. I know Hope, she wouldn't want to win that way. She's like me."
"Hopefully not all like you. If you get what I'm saying."
"Yeah, yeah. I get it. I'm 27 years old and already have 5 kids and another on the way. It doesn't make you look any better though, you helped me."
"I know."
TEDDY POV-
"You're only 27?" Shit, Hope just caught us.
"Uh- I-" I try to say.
"That means you had Xander and Olivia when you were 17. Mom, were you married to dad then?" Hope asks.
"Hope. I'm so sorry I didn't tell you kids. But I've told you for as long as I can remember, to not have kids when you're in your teens, and if you're not married. I didn't want you to think it was okay if I did it." I say.
"Mom, why didn't you tell us?" Hope asks.
"I should have, I really should've. And I'm so, so sorry that I didn't. I feel horrible, Hope, I really do. Can you forgive me?" I say feeling ashamed.
"Were you married to dad when you had Elliot, Rosie and I?" Hope asks.
"Oh, Hope. We were gonna get married when Liv and Xander were 2. But then I found out I was having you, Rosie, and Elliot." I confess.
"So, you got married after we were born?" Hope asks.
"When you were about 9 months old, yes. Liv and Xander might remember some of the wedding, but they might not. They were pretty young." I answer.
"Why didn't you tell us though?" Hope asks once again.
"I felt like, I shouldn't. Because if I did, then you'd think it was okay to have babies when you were young and not married." I say truthfully.
"But what if we didn't?" Hope says.
"But what if you did? You could've had a baby, or Rosie could've, or Liv. Or Elliot or Xander might've been a dad. At a really young age. And when I told my mom and dad that I was having a baby, my dad forced me to get an abortion. That's where the doctor kills the baby inside of me. But, when I went, I found out the baby had already died inside of me. And when I told mom and dad I was having another baby, but twins, my dad kicked me out. And he said he only did it, because he didn't want me influencing the kids. And my mom was having your uncle Toby at the time, so there would've been 3 babies in the house." I say.
"And so your mom and I got an apartment, had Liv and Xander, raised them, moved, had you Rosie and Elliot, then got married, moved again, then we moved again after we found out your mom was having another baby." Spence says.
"Oh." Hope says.
"Yeah. So, do you forgive us?" I ask.
"Yeah, I guess. Who else will feed me if I didn't?" She says, then we laugh.
"Hope, if you need to ask anymore questions, I promise I'll be open to you. Well, as open as I can. I'll be an open book." I say.
"Okay." Hope agrees.
"Just remember things happen for a reason. Like your dad and I having you kids before we were ?" I say.
"Alright." Hope says.
"Any questions?" I ask.
"How does the doctor kill the baby?" Hope asks.
"Uh, well. Um. The doctor just- takes it out. And it's too small to live, and it dies." I answer.
"Where do babies come from?" Okay, I have to admit, that one caught me off guard.
"Uh- w- well i- it, b- babies uh, c- come-" I stutter.
"Are you sure you know this one mom?"
"Yes, I'm pretty sure if I've had 5 kids I know how it works." Then Spencer laughs.
"Like you could do better?" I say to him.
"Hope, babies come from a mommy's tummy." Spencer answers.
"I know that part. How do they get in there?"
"Uh, the dad puts them in there." Then I shot a look at Spencer.
"How?" Great.
"This ought to be good." I say.
"Uh, well. When a mom and dad-"
"Okay, Hope. Why don't you get to bed? It's late. We can always discuss this later." I say.
"Okay." She says. Then she hugs Spence and I, then goes upstairs.
"Ugh. I can not believe you almost told her the whole flipping sex story." I whisper.
"I wasn't going to." He says.
"Uh huh, then what was the 'when a mom and dad' talk about?" I ask.
"I was gonna say when a mom and dad really like each other, they get certain feelings and they make a baby." He says.
"Yeah, then she'd ask how." I say.
"And I'd say she'd learn about it when she was older."
"Okay, we should probably get to bed. I'm gonna anyway. I'm tired."
"Me too. Let's go." He says then we get up and head up the stairs.
"I'm gonna check on the kids, you go ahead and get into bed." He says before I go into our room.
When he finally gets back into our room we kiss one last time for the night.
"Night." I say.
"Night." He says, then I fall asleep.
Well, first. Did you guys notice that she was 6 months, which means it was February in this chapter, which means she was 24 weeks to be exact, which means Teddy was in the hospital February 13th, through February 16th or whatever? WHICH MEANS... She was in the hospital on her and Spencer's anniversary? BOOM! Damn, I'm good!
Second. Our football team WON against our rivals on the homecoming game! Suck on that rivals! Damn we're good!

Fourth. I hope you're happy. I gave up my Saturday night to write this chapter. And the homecoming DANCE was tonight. From 8:00 P.M. - 11::00 P.M. And who was I gonna go to the homecoming dance with you ask? Nobody! Well, I was gonna go with friends, but then decided not to go anyway cause I wanted to write this chapter for you!
