I just want to clarify something, although it's supposed to be clear already, but still. The events don't occur in the same timeline as in the series

I hope it is not confusing. But as I said at the beginning if anyone has any doubt, you can leave it in the comments. Or wait until everything is updated to read it in order, so it will make a little more sense.

Need You Now

"Teddy, wait!" Owen asked Teddy as he hurried after her through the corridors of the Grey Sloan Memorial. He tried to take her by the arm, but she flinched away until he finally rushed past her and stood in front of her. She crashing slightly against his broad chest.

"What do you want, Owen? Just leave me alone! You already said it yourself, this is a crap situation!" She fired back. She tried to get out of Owen's way again, but again he blocked his way.

"That's not fair, Teddy. You know what I meant."

She laughed humorlessly. "Yeah, you were probably referring to your very real family." She said mockingly. "Stop playing. Do you really want me to believe the story that miraculously your love for me resurrected? After you lost Leo, Betty and Amelia whom you called your family? I'm not stupid Owen."

She finally managed to get out of Owen's way, but he followed her determined to make her listen to him. In a gentle movement he took her arm and pushed her into an on-call room, closing the door behind them.

"Just listen to me please. I beg you, for our baby I beg you."

Teddy looked furious. This whole situation had her on the edge. Finding that Owen had formed an instant family just weeks after having been in Germany professing his love was a low blow. She just wanted to get out of all this mess, she wanted to stop feeling all this anger and all this pain that Owen was causing her.

"Three minutes." Teddy said harshly.

"Teddy… first of all I want you to know that everything I said in Germany was true, each and every word was true. I love you Teddy, you are the love—"

"Please Owen! Stop lying!"

"Just listen! I know I shouldn't have done and said many of the things I did and said after that night in Germany. But Teddy... that night... that night marked me for a lifetime. I came back completely destroyed, I tried to find comfort and-and-and the best I could think of was adopting a baby. Then Leo came into my life, then Amelia offered to help me with him, I swear I never asked her to!"

"And yet, she ended up in your bed again."

"Yes, yes, but… I know it's no excuse, but, I was in a very bad state of mind. I tried to seek comfort in whatever it was that offered me a minute of happiness, of the happiness I felt by your side, that I feel by your side, and I regret it, I regret having used Amelia as a consolation prize after Germany, I regret having hurt her and I already apologized to her. But the forgiveness of who I really care about is yours."

Teddy sat on the bed sighing heavily, holding her head in her hands. "I don't know Owen, I don't know if it'll be easy to forget everything I lived after that night in Germany and when I came here and met you with your instant family. It hurts too much to forget just like that."

Owen knelt in front of her taking her trembling hands in his. "And I'm not asking you to forget it, but… please give me a chance, I beg you. I'm already looking for help, for you and our baby. I want to be in the best mental shape by the time he or she is here. I want to be the best for you too. Just give me a chance, it's all I ask."

"What you did to me and what you did to Amelia is not fair."

"I know, and I deeply regret it. But I want to amend my mistakes, and continuing with Amelia would've been a mistake. We were together just because of Leo and Betty, and although I tried to convince myself that it was for her, when Leo and Betty were gone it made it very clear that we were just trying to force something. I don't want to waste any more time, Teddy. I love you and only you. Please let me prove it."

"And I love you too." Teddy said in a shaky voice. "But... How can I know that you won't do the same again?"

"I swear by my mother, by Megan, for what I love most in the world that are you and our baby, that I am serious. I need you to believe me. I need you."

She remained silent for a few seconds, as if analyzing the words Owen had just told her. "So, you are going to therapy."

Owen smiled sweetly at her, happy that she acknowledged it. "Yeah, I've only had a few sessions, I still have a long way to go, but as I said... I want to be the best for you and our baby."

Teddy placed her hand on Owen's cheek. "I'm glad you finally decided to do it. I know how hard it is for you when people tells you to, it must have been a difficult step to take."

"It was, but seeing it in hindsight, it helped me make peace with my mistakes, apologize, and truly fight for what I love. To fight for you and our baby."

Teddy cupped Owen's face looking him straight in the eye. "I don't know where this will lead and I'm scared of what I will say, but… I want to try. I love you Owen, you know it, even when I want to smash your face against the pavement I love you. And I need you, I need you with me on this trip so unknown to me that is pregnancy. I've lived in fear since the day I knew I was pregnant."

This time it was Owen's turn to take Teddy's soaked in tears face in his hands. "You have nothing to fear, you saw on the last ultrasound that our baby is perfect. And I will be with you every step of the way from now on, all the time you will have me with you, you have nothing to fear."

Teddy threw herself into Owen's arms, crying softly, unloading the weight she had been carrying for a few months now. "I love you." She whispered in his ear and he returned a kiss on her head.

They pulled back smiling and crying at the same time. Owen couldn't contain the desire and brought his hands to Teddy's belly, in which a perfect curvature of their growing 20-week baby was already formed. "I can't wait to make up for everything." Teddy leaned back a little and Owen brought his face to her bump, placing his hands on each side and then a soft kiss.

"I feel it will be a girl." Owen commented smiling and kissing Teddy's belly again, making her laugh.

"What makes you think that?!" She laughed.

"I don't know. You look like a woman who breeds girls." This made Teddy laugh loudly.

"Should I give you a biology and genetics lesson? You are the one who determines sex, Mr. XY!"

"Ok, I worded it wrongly. You look like someone who would be a perfect mom of girls. I don't know, it will sound stupid, but I've always thought it. You are so sweet, badass and intelligent at the same time, you would be the perfect mom for a girl."

Teddy's smile failed and her eyes filled with tears again. "So what if it's a boy?" She asked, leaning forward, getting closer to Owen who was still knelt in front of her.

"Then he will be the sweetest and smartest boy in the world."

"And badass like his daddy." She added almost crying.

"I'd prefer badass like his mommy."

The distance between Teddy and Owen grew shorter and shorter, until their lips joined in a soft kiss.

"I'll make up for everything, I swear." Owen sighed against her lips.

"You can start now. I need you, I need you now." She replied, taking Owen's scrubs shirt by the hem, making it clear exactly what she needed, at least for the moment.
