Teddy went downstairs on Christmas morning seeing everything she had ever hoped for. She could smell blueberry muffins coming from the oven. Tom, Owen, and Amelia were sitting with Leo and Allison by the perfectly decorated Christmas tree. Leo was already shaking one of the presents under the tree. Teddy smiled to herself. This was what Christmas was supposed to feel like.

"Mommy," Leo called out. "Open!"

"Yeah, bud, I'm ready," Teddy said, sitting on the couch next to Tom, who gave her stomach a gentle rub. "You can open it."

They watched as Leo unwrapped gift after gift. They also would give Allison a hand by ripping a corner of the wrapping paper for her to then pull. However, it was difficult for her, especially since one hand was gripped onto her baby blanket at all times. She now wanted her blanket in sight at all times and took comfort in its presence. Eventually, Leo helped her unwrap her gifts.

After opening gifts and eating breakfast, everyone got dressed up for Christmas at Evelyn's house. As they went out to the car, they realized it was starting to snow. Teddy smiled and reached her hand out to catch a snowflake. She lifted Allison into her arms and helped her catch a snowflake, resulting in a laugh as the cold droplet melted in her palm.

They then drove to Evelyn's, Teddy's leg bouncing in suspense. She was getting married today. Tom placed his hand on her leg.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

Teddy smiled. "I've never been better."

Tom smiled back at her.

They parked at Evelyn's, and Owen and Amelia brought the kids inside. Tom came around to get Teddy's door. They made it to the porch lined with twinkling Christmas lights and red bows on the banister. Tom stopped Teddy before she could reach the door.

"Come on," Teddy urged, excited to show him and see for the first time the set up that Owen put together for their wedding.

Tom pulled her into him. "Teddy, I love you."

"I love you, too," she replied, quickly. "Let's go inside."

Tom held her hips gently so she couldn't move to the door. "When we go in there, I want to be able to tell them that we will be having our wedding. I know how badly I messed things up. But, I love you and I want to move past that. I still want to marry you like we planned to. In May. It still gives us time if you decide you can't forgive me. But, it'd also be before the baby is due so that we can be a family. Officially."

Teddy touched her stomach, trying to stop herself from crying.

"I love you," Tom repeated. "You make me happier than I have ever been. And, you still wear the ring so, please Teddy, marry me. Call the wedding back on."

Teddy wiped the tears that had fallen down her cheeks. She could hear how desperately he wanted to marry her and loved her and felt the exact same way that he did.

"Come with me," Teddy said softly, taking him by the hands and bringing him inside. As they stepped inside Tom and Teddy saw the living room completely transformed. The couches had been moved out of the room and white chairs were set up facing the over-sized window where the snow could be seen falling. It was decorated with red and white roses, perfect for a Christmas wedding.

"What is this?" Tom asked hopefully. It looked more decorated than a simple family get together. It looked like a wedding.

Teddy smiled at him. "Yes, I will marry you. Today?"

Tom's surprised look quickly turned to a smile and he hugged her tightly. "We're getting married?"

Teddy nodded and Tom kissed her, both of them feeling each other's smile through the kiss.

Megan came over to them after letting them be excited for a minute.

"Alright, I need the bride," Megan told them. Teddy happily took Megan's hand and followed her to Megan's childhood bedroom where her dress was waiting for her. Megan helped her with her make up and then her hair.

Teddy looked at herself in the mirror and smiled at Megan. "Thank you."

Megan smiled back. "Come on, let's get you in that gorgeous dress. So, why are we moving this wedding up? Is there something I should know?"

Teddy smiled at her. "Well, I just want to be married to him already."

"But, what about the plans in May?" Megan asked, suspiciously.

"What are you trying to ask me?" Teddy questioned, sensing that Megan was suspicious that she was pregnant.

"Okay, you know I can't ask because if I'm wrong it's going to be mean, but come on, you are glowing and I'm sure some of it is because you're getting married today but -"

"I'm pregnant," Teddy told her, confirming her suspicions.

Megan's smile lit up the whole room and she squealed. "Oh my God. When are you due?"

"June 28th," Teddy told her.

"June 25th!" Megan exclaimed, pointing at her stomach.

"What?" Teddy asked, surprised at what she was implying. "You're pregnant too!"

The two of them laughed, hugged and cried, excited that they would be having their babies around the same time.

"What's going on in here?" Evelyn asked as she saw Megan and Teddy laying in bed hugging and laughing.

The two women looked at each other both confirming that they hadn't told her yet and were waiting for the second trimester to begin telling people.

"Nothing," they replied in unison. Teddy stood up and put on her dress and Megan helped zip her up.


"Ready?" Owen asked Tom, as they stood in front of the window with the snowy view. Evelyn, Nathan, Farouk, and Amelia were sitting in the seats across from them.

"More than ready," Tom told him. Owen gave Amelia a look to start the music. As the music played, Megan handed a dressed up Leo a pouch with the wedding rings.

"Go give this to Daddy," Megan told him. Leo walked down the makeshift aisle, only stopping once to touch the flowers along the way, and then handed Owen the rings. Leo then went to sit next to Amelia. Amelia gave him a high five and then held his hand, since Leo wouldn't let go of hers.

Next, Megan, dressed in a deep red dress, carried Allison down the aisle, helping her throw petals from the basket. As they sat down, Tom drew in a deep breath, ready to see his bride.

Teddy began walking down the aisle. Her dress flowed beautifully down her body, the whiteness of the dress making her hair look lighter. Tom smiled at her as she walked to him, thinking that she looked absolutely perfect. She looked like an angel and he wondered how he could be lucky enough to marry this woman. As she reached him, he held out his hands to her and she took them.

"Today we celebrate the marriage of Teddy and Tom, a couple that deserves all the happiness in the world," Owen began. Teddy smiled at Owen, knowing he was nervous about messing up. "It makes perfect sense that I am officiating this wedding, since I have such a great track record with marriages."

The group laughed. "But, really, I'm marrying them because I get to see just how much they love each other every day. When I found out that they were together, I never thought that they would make it to this point. I didn't notice the way that Tom looked out for Teddy, making sure she was happy and comfortable during her pregnancy. He made sure that she wasn't stressed, had a place to live, and went for walks like she was supposed to. I didn't know that he put reminders in his phone for meal times so that she would remember to eat during the day."

Tom looked at Amelia, knowing that she must have told Hunt that. Teddy smiled at him, not realizing he had done that.

"I finally realized that what Teddy and Tom have is real was when Tom asked me to move in with them. He was willing to put Teddy's needs over his own, as I'm sure he didn't actually want me being a third wheel in their daily lives. Every day, I see Tom choose Teddy. Which is exactly what she deserves in a husband.

"Now, I have talked a lot about how much Tom loves Teddy and how I know that he is good enough for her. It's easy to talk about that because Tom is always very obvious and open about his feelings for her. But, Teddy is more of a challenge."

Teddy glared at Owen playfully.

"It's hard for me to tell you about Teddy's feelings because she isn't the type of person who shows her heart so easily. But, I see the way her eyes light up when Tom comes home, the way she nestles into his shoulder on the couch. Then there's her laugh that constantly fills the house, that I can even hear all the way in my bedroom on the first floor when she is in her room upstairs. These may seem like small things that indicate Teddy's feelings. However, for someone who has dealt with the pain and heartbreak...sorry... that Teddy has, these small gestures mean so much more. They mean that she loves him, trusts him, takes comfort and safety in him, and wishes that she could be as optimistic as he is sometimes.

"Teddy and Tom are the perfect example of what a husband and wife should be. They aren't perfect but they accept each other's flaws with no judgement. They challenge each other and encourage one another. They are able to work together seamlessly and communicate every step of the way. I am so glad that I can officiate the wedding of my friends, parenting partners, and role models for what I am looking for in a relationship."

Owen found himself locking eyes with Amelia. She smiled at him, encouragingly, and he smiled back. He continued with the ceremony and eventually grabbed the rings from his pocket.

"Do you, Thomas Christopher Koracick, take this woman to be your wife?" Owen asked, handing him the ring.

Tom smiled at Teddy. "I do."

He slipped the ring onto her finger gently. Then, Owen handed the ring to Teddy.

"Do you, Theodora Grace Altman, take this man to be your husband?"

"I do," Teddy agreed, unable to stop smiling.

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife," Owen said. Tom and Teddy didn't wait for next part, and kissed each other.


Teddy and Tom were sitting outside in the snow to soak in their wedding while the Hunt's got Christmas dinner ready. Owen went into the kitchen, now changed out of his suit. Megan, Nathan, and Amelia clapped for him as he came in.

"Ugh, I don't like you guys," he said, assuming they were mocking him.

"No, really it was beautiful, Owen," Megan admitted.

"I always thought you'd be at the altar with Teddy, I just didn't think you'd be the officiant," Nathan teased.

"Ooh, same," Amelia agreed. Megan laughed in agreement.

"Very funny," Owen replied sarcastically. "So, did I ruin their wedding?"

"Not at all," Amelia assured him. "Everything you said was true and perfect."

"You know when you make Megan cry that it must be good," Evelyn added.

"Stupid hormones," Megan huffed under her breath so no one but Nathan could hear.

"Alright, I need less cooks in the kitchen," Evelyn told them, shooing them away.

"Well, for the benefit of the food, I will opt out," Amelia said, hopping off her chair.

"Me too," Owen said, following her out of the room. Megan and Evelyn shared a look, sensing that romance was rekindling between the two of them.

"Thank you," Owen said to Amelia once they were alone. "For helping so much with the wedding."

"Of course," Amelia replied. "You really did a great job."

Owen and Amelia were staring at one another, maybe a little too intently. Owen coughed as an excuse to look away. He knew he couldn't tell her how he felt. It wouldn't be fair after all the pain he put her through. And, she was still dating Link as far as he knew.

"Owen-"

"Amelia-"

They both started at the same time and stopped as they heard the other.

"Oh, go ahead," Amelia insisted.

"No, it's nothing," Owen backtracked. "Um, I was just going to say that I really am glad that we can be friends again. I like hanging out with you."

Amelia gave a half smile. She was happy that he enjoyed spending time with her but also wished it was more than just a friendship. "Me too."

"We should go play with the kids," Owen suggested. They went to the family room where Megan and Farouk were sitting with Leo and Allison. "How's it going in here?"

"Ahem," Megan cleared her throat, pointing to the small green and red mistletoe hanging from the doorway which Owen and Amelia were standing in. Owen and Amelia both looked up and then at each other.

"Well, it's tradition," Amelia shrugged.

Owen kissed her chastly on the lips.

"Boo," Megan called out.

"She has a boyfriend," Owen used as an excuse.

Tom and Teddy walked through the doorway, between Owen and Amelia.

"Not anymore," Tom told him, clapping a hand on Owen's shoulder encouragingly. He then turned to Teddy and kissed her passionately under the mistletoe.

"Yes, like that!" Megan said to her brother.

Amelia laughed and started to walk into the room. Owen reached out, grabbed her by the wrist and pulled her back into him. His hands went up to frame her face and he pulled her close, kissing her deeply. Amelia was surprised at first but melted into his kiss, remembering the passion they had once had for each other.

Megan, Teddy, and Tom cheered for them as they pulled apart, while Amelia and Owen just stared at each other for a moment, both of them knowing exactly how the other one felt. They stared as they caught their breaths until Amelia felt a tug on the skirt of her dress. She and Owen looked down and saw Leo. Amelia lifted him up.

"You're under the mistletoe now too," she told him. She began kissing his tiny cheeks and head and Owen did the same as Leo let out roars of laughter.


Tom woke up the next morning feeling like he must have dreamt yesterday. He looked down at his hand and Teddy's and saw that they were both wearing wedding rings and nothing else. He smiled to himself. All of it had been real.

"Hey, Teddy," Tom whispered.

"What?" she asked, waking up slightly, but keeping her eyes closed.

"We're married," Tom reminded her.

Teddy smiled while she kept her eyes closed. "We're married. We can be asleep and married too."

Tom kissed the tip of her nose. "You can sleep. I'm too excited."

Teddy pulled the blanket up and snuggled in to fall back asleep. She then felt Tom going under the blanket and touching her stomach.

"What are you doing?" Teddy asked, sleepily.

"Go to sleep. We're having a private conversation," Tom told her. He rubbed his thumb gently across her stomach. "Hey. It's your dad. Mom and I got married yesterday. Kids someday are going to be mean and say that we only got married because of you. But, that's not true at all. I've spent a long time tricking your mom into loving me even though she is way out of my league. I finally did it though. And we can't wait until you come out and join our family."

Teddy reached down and stroked Tom's head gently. "I love you."

"I love you," Tom replied, coming up from under the covers. "Yesterday was perfect. The best Christmas I've ever had."

"Really?" Teddy asked sarcastically. "I got a car for Christmas in high school. That was a pretty good Christmas."

Tom laughed.

"Getting a husband is a close second though," Teddy joked.

"Hmm, there's got to be a way I can move into first place," Tom inquired, pulling her close. He kissed her collarbone and then her neck.

"That's helping," Teddy assured him. "Lower."

Tom kissed down her neck and on the upper part of her chest.

"Lower," Teddy told him.

Tom kissed her breasts and then down her stomach.

"Lower," Teddy pleaded.

Tom looked up at her. "God, my wife is sexy."

He then kissed lower, right where she wanted him, getting a sigh and moan from Teddy.

After making love, Teddy and Tom laid in bed together, tangled up, both feeling like they had finally gotten everything they ever could have imagined. All the waiting and wishing that other loves would have worked and the pain they had gone through along the way was now worth it because they were happy being all in for each other.
