Well, here you go :) Please review. If you've read my last Author's Note, it states I can't live without reviews. And I forgot to add, I can't live without all my vital organs. xD It seems I always seem to forget that stuff. The really important stuff :P Anyway, wanna review? It'll save many lives who have Review Syndrome. Like me, Hi My Name Is Bubbly Bubbles. Symptoms may include: Hyperness, Not being able to sleep, Lack of Reviews, Giggles, feeling like you can run like Flash, Bubbly-ness, and more hyperness. Oh, did I mention Giggles?! Hahaha!
I have all those symptoms! Haha, better review now so we can cure this! Haha. Haha. Haha. Haha. HAHA! :P Anyway, wanna read now? Here you go!
Oh, and reading this part is kinda a spoiler. But I have to tell you. Now, I don't know how the Military works, but I'm going to have some things in here about someone's family being in the Military. I am sorry if I have some things wrong. If anyone knows. Please inform me, thank you.
Chapter 14 -18 Weeks & A Letter-
18 WEEKS- DOCTOR APPOINTMENT- TEDDY POV-
"Spence, wanna watch the kids?"
"Sure. We've gotten pretty lucky on my days off."
"Yep."
"So, I'm gonna head over there. Don't forget to check the mail today. And keep an eye on the kids."
"Teddy, I've done it all before. Chill."
"Sorry, I- I'm just really protective of them. Ever since the incident."
"I know baby. I am too, trust me. I've been a lot more careful lately."
"I know, so have I. But I really have to go now. Bye." I say kissing him passionately on the lips.
"Mm, love you. Soooo much." Then he kisses me again.
"Spence, I really want to, but I'm already almost late. I seriously have to go."
"Kay. I hope you know, the next time we have sex, it's going to be protected."
"Definitely." I laugh.
"Well, you should go. Bye."
"Bye."
DOCTOR'S APPOINTMENT- TEDDY POV-
"Teddy Duncan. Right on time. Not a minute earlier not a minute later. Right this way." The nurse says as she directs me to the room. It's always the same room. Light soft purple, with an examination table in the back right corner, the door was on the front left corner. The sink was across from the table, and there were a few chairs in there. This was the room I was always in when I was pregnant with Xander and Olivia.
"Doctor will be in shortly."
LATER- TEDDY POV-
"Hello Teddy."
"Hi doctor."
"Anything you need to ask?"
"No, no I don't think so."
"Alright." Then he began with the ultrasound.
"Well, oh. Well, it seems as if I was wrong. Very sorry, hope you didn't pick names yet."
"Something wrong?"
"You are not having two boys and one girl."
"Oh my gosh please don't say I'm having two of each!"
"Oh! No, no. Heaven's sake no. I would have fainted if I saw that."
"Then, what?"
"Congratulations. You are having. Wait, do you want to know?"
"Yes, I really want to know."
"Okay."
"Well?"
"Well, you're having-" Then my phone goes off.
"Ugh! Sorry. That was my phone."
"No problem."
"You're having-" Then my phone vibrates.
"I am, so, so sorry. That was just my friend. She should know I'm at my appointment, sorry."
"No problem."
"You're having a-"
"Ugh! Why don't I just turn my phone off?"
"Good idea."
"Sorry."
"Well, looks like-"
"I thought I turned that off!"
"Oh, that was mine this time. So sorry."
"No problem."
"You're having… A girl, a boy, and looks like the other one is being stubborn. Congratulations Miss Duncan. Would you like to keep these photos?"
"Yes, please."
"Yep."
AFTER APPOINTMENT- IN CAR, NOT DRIVING YET- TEDDY POV-
Now I can check my phone.
1 Call from Ivy, 1 Text from Ivy, 1 Call from Mom, 1 Text from Mom.

M- No problem, I gotta go
T- Okay call me so we can talk sometime, okay?

I should respond to Ivy's text.
TEXTING IVY-
I- Hey T how's the appointment goin?
T- I just got out
I- Oh
T- Yeah, how'd your re-reschedule with Emmet go?
I- Emmet got sick, he sounded pretty bad on the phone, he wouldn't let me go over and take care of him though…
T- Spence did that, right before Charlie bit him
I- Emmet wouldn't cheat on me, would he?
T- Hold on, lemme call you
I- K
DONE TEXTING IVY-
CALLING IVY-
"Hello?"
"Hey Ivy."
"Hey. But, Emmet wouldn't cheat on me, would he?"
"Maybe. I don't know."
"Maybe I should just pop over there. I don't know, what do I do?"
"I caught Spence at work. Smashed pie in his face."
"Haha, funny."
"Yeah, Skylar poured smoothie on him."
"Funny. He deserved it."
"Yeah. But I love him, that was past. Anyway, wanna know what genders I'm having?!"
"Yeah!"
"Well, it's a boy, a girl, and the other one has my stubbornness." I say chuckling.
"Yep, that's just what we all need. Stubborn Teddy number 2."
"Haha. Well, I'm still in the parking lot, I'd better go. Call me sometime. I want you, if you can, baby sit again when I'm 26 weeks. Spence and I are gonna go together again."
"Okay. I'll make sure Emmet and I don't plan a date then."
"Okay. Thanks. Bye."
"Bye T."
HOME- TEDDY POV-
"Hey Spence, I'm home sorry I'm late I- You okay?"
"…"
"Spence? You okay?"
"…"
"You look like you were or are about to cry." He won't do anything, he's just still, with a sad expression on his face, and he's all choked up.
"I- wow."
"What baby?"
"I- I'm so sorry. I can't believe I didn't- I'm sorry."
"What?" I ask sitting next to him with my hand on my stomach.
"I, I lied to you."
"What do you mean?"
"I- I have a brother."
"You, you do?"
"I'm so sorry. I can't believe I didn't tell you this."
"No, no baby, it's okay."
"No, it isn't."
"Why not?"
"He, he's in the military. And that's why my parents never mentioned him. Ever."
"That's okay."
"Here's a picture." Then he showed me a picture of a man that looked so much like Spencer.
"This is?"
"Sullivan. This was before he went off to the Military. We, we don't talk about him much. And that's what I regret."
"Why?"
"Cause you never knew him."
"I still can. I can know now right?"
"Yeah, but my parents won't wanna talk about him, and I really don't either now."
"But you just said-"
"I know what I said!"
"Spence, if you tell me, I-"
"Just, Teddy! You don't get it! You don't get it!"
"I can get it if you just tell me!"
"Teddy, I don't wanna tell you! I don't wanna talk about him!"
"Spence."
"No! Forget it!"
"Why can't-"
"No! No more!" Then he storms out to the back porch.
"Mommy and daddy fighting?"
"Just a little disagreement Liv."
"You okay?"
"I- I'm fine." I say tearing up.
"Go get your brother. We have to go somewhere."
"Wif out daddy?"
"He'll be fine."
"Kay."
DUNCAN HOUSE-
"Hey sweetie. What's up?"
"Spence, we."
"Yeah? Kids, why don't you go play with Toby? He's downstairs with Gabe."
"Kay!"
"Teddy?"
"W- we had a f- fight. It was p- pretty bad."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. It's, it's just, it's the b- biggest a- and worst one w- we've ever had."
"Teddy, don't cry."
"I f- feel h- horrible."
"Don't get stressed. It's not good for the babies."
"Okay."
"Want some of my hot coca?" The one thing my mom can make yummy without having to buy. Yum.
"Yes please."
"Now, only if you're comfortable about telling me what the fight was about, I'm all ears."
"Well, I got home, and Spence was all sad, so I asked why, and he said he lied to me, I asked what, he told me he had a brother in the Military, and I was asking about him, he told me to forget it. And then the fight kinda started."
"Sweetie. I'm sorry. But, I'm glad you came here with the kids, I mean, I know Spence probably wouldn't have done anything stupid. But you never know. Right?"
"Yeah, but I don't wanna be near him when he does explode. And I don't want the kids there either. Do, do you think-"
"I know what you're going to say, no, you shouldn't break up, and no, you're not making a mistake."
"Thanks mom, you always know what to say."
"No problem."
"I think I should go back there. It's almost the kids' naptime."
"Alright."
"Bye mom."
"Bye sweetie."
HOME-
"Teddy, I'm sorry I acted like such a jerk."
"Spence, I'm sorry I didn't leave you alone about Sullivan. I only need to know he's got the best brother in the world."
"He had the best brother in the world. Just like I had the best brother in the world. I always looked up to him."
"Was he your older brother?"
"Yeah. I just wish whenever I had the chance to see him I could've. He's been in the Military since he was 17. He's 2 and ½ years older than me."
"Well, aren't the troops coming home?"
"He moved."
"To where?"
"I don't know, but he got a place with a really close friend of his."
"Isn't he gonna come home then?"
"Just read this letter." Then Spence handed me the letter.
Dear Walsh Family and Friends,
We regret to inform you Sullivan Walsh was killed in battle at 9:00 A.M. on the Morning of September 11th, 2013 while he was protecting one of the injured soldiers. He gave his life to save another, which we will hold a special ceremony for at his funeral. He was an exceptionally great fighter, and wanted his brother Spencer Walsh to have something. It will arrive in the mail around September 21st, 2013. The funeral will be held on September 19th, 2013 at 12:00. We hope to see you there, and best wishes.
Sincerely, Commander Mathews
Commander Mathews
United States Military
"Spence, I- I'm so sorry."
"It's okay. I sent him emails a lot explaining he was an uncle at 19 to twins, how he was getting more members of the family like how I proposed, how we were pregnant with triplets. He can't reply, but I figured he'd like to know."
"I think he loved them Spence."
"Oh, and I actually sent him an email whenever there was a big moment, so he knew a lot about his sister in-law that he never really knew. He even knew when I cheated on you, I told him and how it was the biggest mistake of my life."
"Wow. You really loved him."
"And I still do."
"Wow."
"I've even sent pictures of us, and the kids, and a few ultrasound pictures."
"That's where they went. I knew I wasn't crazy." I joke.
"There's my Spencer smile I love." I follow.
"I just miss him. The last thing I remember was when he was giving me his big brother speech."
FLASHBACK- SPENCER POV-
I just got home from a long day at school. Man, it's hard being a 15 year old boy in high school.
"Hey, how was school?"
"It was good, you?"
"It was okay. Listen, um. Spencer?"
"Yeah?"
"If I were to go off to college or something this year, what would you say?"
"Well, I'd think it was a little crazy, you're only 17. You, well. I need you. My big brother helps a lot when I'm in trouble."
"But what if I said I was gonna be with you no matter how far away I was?"
"That'd help."
"But sometimes, I can't be here. And so. It's time."
"Oh no. Not the big brother talk!"
"Spence, if you're caught in a pickle with a girl, make sure you love them and that's who you really wanna be with."
"But, what about your girlfriend?"
"Rebecca? I can see her. It'll be just fine."
"Okay. Now, will you tell me where you're going?"
"I'm going to the Military."
"School?"
"No, the real thing."
"But, what if you, die?"
"Spence. It's fine. No matter what happens to me, I'll always be there for you."
"I love you Sullivan."
"Love you Spence."
END OF FLASHBACK- TEDDY POV-
"When he left, I thought my life was over. But then I met you, and that hole filled up in my heart. And when you called me Spence for the first time, it really made me happy. Cause only Sullivan and you call me that. Then when I cheated on you, I heard my brother's voice saying I was wrong. And when you told me your name, Teddy Rebecca Duncan, I knew you were the right one for me."
"Wow Spence."
"I think I'll use that on my funeral and wedding speech. I'll just tweak it a little."
"I love your sense of humor."
"And I love you. All together. And I love you kids too." Spence says putting a hand on my belly.
"Kids?"
"Napping Babe."
"Right. Cause I uh, I knew that."
"No ya didn't."
"Oh, Spence, you're absolutely right."
"Oh, Teddy. I can't believe how far we've gotten from 'Hi'."
"I know right?"
"How bout we just sit on the sofa, we relax?"
"Deal." Then we sat on the couch.
"You know what I'm craving right now? For Lunch?"
"I have a feeling I should know this. But what?"
"In N Out Burger!"
"Oh yeah!"
(A/N; There's an actual picture of Shane Harper & Bridgit Mendler with IN-N-OUT BURGER! OMG, I love their faces! xD Look it up on Google Images search 'Shane Harper and Bridgit Mendler in n out burger' or something like that. Well, bye! )
"We'll get it when the twins are up."
"Alrighty."
"It's been forever since we've eaten there, Spence."
"I know. A little too long."
"Definitely."
"Well, we can just chill now." Spence says putting an arm around me and kisses me lightly on the lips.
LATER- SPENCER POV-
"Mommy! Daddy!"
"Kids, shh. Don't wake mommy. She's tired."
"Why?"
"The babies made her extra tired."
"Did we?"
"Yeah, but three babies make mommy more tired than two."
"We sowwy."
"It's okay kiddos."
"Xander, wanna take your building blocks and help me make abuilding?"
"Yeah!"
"Can I help?"
"It's boy stuff!"
"Xander, Olivia can help. But let's go in your room Xander, so we don't wake mommy."
"Kay."
LATER-
"Wow, Xander, it's great."
"Tank you."
"Good job Olivia."
"Tank you."
"Hey Spence, what 'cha doing?"
"Just playing with the little kiddos."
"Sweet. In N Out Burger?"
"Hell yeah."
"Hell yeah." The twins repeated.
"Um, kids, you shouldn't say that."
"But daddy did."
"Um, I didn't think, it's a bad word. You shouldn't say that kay?"
"Okay."
"Wanna go to a restaurant kids?"
"Yeah!"
"Okay. Let's go Spence. Wanna buckle the kids while I go to the bathroom real quick?"
"Sure, come on kids."
AT IN-N-OUT BURGER- TEDDY POV-
"Okay. I gotta go to the bathroom, why don't you get us a table?"
"Okay." I say.
"How many will be dining?"
"Um, 4."
"Right this way, would you like booster seats?"
"Yes please."
As I was walking by one table with some girls in it I heard one of them.
"Wow, two kids, and pregnant again? What a damn slut. Doesn't even have a boyfriend. Poor, poor, slutty girl." The girls laughed, but I just shrugged it off.
"Hey." Spence said.
"Hey."
"What's the matter?"
"Can we take it to go?"
"Sure."
HOME- TEDDY POV-
"Mm, that was good."
"I know."
"Dat was yummy!" The kids say.
"Yep. Kids, almost time for bed."
"Okay."
NIGHT TIME- TEDDY POV-
"Well, I'm beat."
"Me too. Wanna go to sleep?"
"No Spence. I'm gonna stay up. Yes I'm going to bed."
"Sorry. Just a lot on my mind."
"Yeah, wanna go for the funeral?"
"I just don't get why the letter came to me instead of my parents."
"Maybe that's who he requested? I dunno but do you wanna go to the funeral? September 19th. That's in 3 days."
"Yeah. I, I wanna go. It'd really mean a lot to him for us to be there."
"What about the twins?"
"Um, your parents? Teddy, will they be okay with that?"
"I'm sure my parents would love to. After all, we, are, fam-ily." Then Spence and I laughed.
"Haha. Love you Teddy."
"Love you Spence." Then we both fell asleep.
SEPTEMBER 18TH- AT HOTEL, TEDDY POV-
"Well, it's our first night away from the twins."
"Yep. So, what 'cha wanna do babe?"
"Um, I don't know, I'm pregnant, we can't do anything. Well, we can, but-"
"I didn't mean sex."
"Oh."
"Yeah. So, um. It was a long flight."
"Yeah. I'm tired."
"Me too baby."
"Let's go to sleep. Night Spence."
"Night."
SEPTEMBER 19TH DAY OF FUNERAL- TEDDY POV-
(A/N; Well, I kinda don't know how funerals go. Sooo, um. In the words of Spongebob Squarepants, without a rainbow over my head, 'Use your… Imagination…' *She says magically* Bye!)
"Well, that was sad. I'm glad your parents could make it."
"Hello Teddy." Mrs. Walsh says.
"Hi mom." Spence says.
"Where's Mr. Walsh?" I ask.
"Car. He went to start it."
"Oh, okay."
"Spence, um, the thing you're supposed to be getting is a box, it should be there at your house tomorrow or the next day, or the day after that. I spoke with Commander Mathews."
"Okay." Spence replies.
"Well, you kids should get to your hotel, you have another long flight ahead of you." Mrs. Walsh says.
"Okay. Thanks again, for coming." I say.
"No problem."
"Well, we'd better get going." Spence says.
"Wait!"
"What mom?"
"Genders, tell, me, now."
"A boy, a girl, and the other one seems to have my stubbornness."
"Well, you'll find out when you have them."
"Yeah."
HOME- SEPTEMBER 21ST TEDDY POV-
"I'm so glad to have he twins back in our house."
"Yeah."
"Hey, wanna check the mail?"
"Already did babe."
"Did ya get it did ya get it did ya get it?!"
"Chill, and yeah."
"What's in it?!"
"A picture of Rebecca and Sullivan in the hospital, w- with a-"
"Baby."
"He, he's a dad."
"Born September 3rd, 2013. Beautiful girl named, Teddy Rebecca Bridgit Walsh. She, she looks like you Spence."
"Wow. I- I'm an, uncle."
"And he died when she was only 8 days old. She was a month premature. He was there when she was born."
"Wow. I thought I saw Rebecca, but when I saw the baby I wasn't sure."
"I- I'm sorry Spence."
"What about?"
"I don't know, it's m- my, m- mood s- swings."
"Shh, baby, it's gonna be okay. I love you."
"I love you."
Hey! Okay, so as for Spencer's brother, Sullivan, he IS real! Sullivan Harper, model, is Shane Harper's younger brother xD It felt like a perfect opportunity.
So, I think there's a pic (my avatar) of Sullivan Harper on my profile. Well, my Friday is about to get a HELL of a lot better! That means I gotta go! Bye! REVIEW PLEASE!
