A/N: Here it is! The last chapter. I'm literally crying as I post this because this story has been such a long ride and I have loved writing it so much. I have had some supporters stick with me from beginning to end and I'm so appreciative of everyone who has read my story. This chapter has time jumps!

3 months later

"Stop it," Teddy managed to say while in a fit of laughter. She shoved Tom's arm gently.

"Stop what?" Tom said, continuing to use the funny voice he had been using for one of the characters in Allison's bedtime story. Allison let out a shriek of laughter, reaching out to touch Tom's face. "She likes when the characters have different voices."

Teddy shook her head and smiled at him. "You sound like a monster."

"Well, what voice would you use for an elephant?"

"You have more fun with these stories than she does," Teddy rolled her eyes. Allison started hitting the book with her hand. "I think she wants you to keep reading."

"At least someone appreciates me, don't you peanut?" Tom whispered to Allison. Tom finished the story and Allison reached for the next book in the pile on Tom's lap. Goldilocks.

"Oh please," Teddy begged, jokingly. "No more bad renditions of this story."

"Really? You're going to say no to this face?" Tom asked, pointing to Allison who already was staring intently at the picture on the first page.

Teddy smiled and rubbed her now 5 month old baby bump. "Of course not."

"You can read it, if you'd like," Tom offered.

"No, no," Teddy replied. "This is your book with her. You can keep butchering the story if it makes her happy."

Tom began to read.

"There was Papa Bear, Mama Bear," Tom paused. "Where's Mama?"

Allison pointed at Teddy excitedly. "Mama."

Tom patted her gently on the head and continued to read. He read about Goldilocks coming into the house and had Allison point out where certain items were in the pictures, which the smart girl did each time.

"'Somebody has been eating my porridge,' said Papa Bear," Tom read. He was about to continue but Allison reached out and hit his chest with both her arms.

"Papa," she repeated.

Teddy's mouth dropped, "Oh my God. That's adorable. She called you Papa."

"Nah, she was just repeating," Tom denied, not wanting to get his hopes up that she would actually call him by a 'dad'-like name. He saw a tear coming to Teddy's eye. "No, don't start that. Your hormones are making you cry for no reason."

"Really?" Teddy asked, skeptically, wiping her eye. "Allie, where's Papa?"

"Papa," Allison said, giving Tom a hug.

Tom hugged her back and now had tears in his eyes. He had been there for Allison since before she was born. He helped with every stage along the way and now was her step-dad. He never needed her to call him something special because his love for her was unconditional. But, to know that she considered him to be just as important in her life as she was to him felt amazing. He wiped away a tear and laughed. "God, now my hormones are acting up."

Teddy laughed and stood up to give both Tom and Allison a hug.

Teddy and Tom came downstairs the next morning early in the morning and found Owen walking Amelia to the door quietly. Owen leaned in to kiss Amelia.

"Morning," Teddy greeted. Owen and Amelia jumped apart, not expecting them to be downstairs so early.

"Hey," Owen said guiltily. "Amelia just came to say good morning to Leo."

Teddy rolled her eyes. "Seriously? Everyone knows you two are back together. Why are you guys sneaking around like teenagers?"

"Yeah, and you know we are your biggest shippers so no need to hide it from us," Tom added. "Not to mention we could hear you two doing it last night."

Amelia and Owen both turned red. "Sorry."

"So, you two are actually dating, right? Not just sleeping together?" Teddy asked.

Amelia and Owen looked at each other.

"Yes," Owen admitted. "We just don't want everyone to know until we know that it's going to work out this time."

"Yeah, Meredith and Maggie will have too many opinions on it and Link is still mad at me so I don't want to add to his pain," Amelia told them.

"Well, we are happy for you," Teddy told them, giving Owen and then Amelia a hug.

"Boy," Teddy predicted as Carina put the cold jelly on her stomach.

"No, it's a girl," Tom insisted. "Winner gets a foot massage tonight."

"Well, I'm pregnant so I should be getting a foot massage no matter what," Teddy reminded him.

"Are you two done arguing and ready to see for yourselves?" Carina asked.

They gripped each other's hands tightly.

"A girl," they said simultaneously as the image came up on the screen. They were all smiles as they left the appointment and went back to their car.

"You're not upset that we aren't having a boy, right?" Tom asked her, knowing she had predicted a boy since the beginning.

"Of course not!" Teddy assured him. "Are you? I mean, I already have a boy and a girl. I thought you might want one of each."

Tom shrugged. "I don't know. I'm kind of glad that David is my only boy. I wouldn't want it to feel like I'm replacing him."

Teddy nodded. "Well, that wouldn't be possible, but I get it. Besides, you are really good with daughters."

Tom smiled. "Now we need to think of names!"

Teddy laughed. "We have some time for that."

3 months later (6 months total since the wedding)

"Woah, Megan, what is all this?" Teddy asked, when she met up with Megan at the mall. Megan's cart was completely full. "I thought you and Nathan already went shopping for the new house."

Megan and Nathan had decided to move their family to Seattle to be closer to family. They were keeping their beach house as a second home but thought that being closer to family would be good for both the baby and Farouk. Farouk was especially excited about having a baby brother to play with.

"It's not for the house," Megan told her. "Look at these adorable dresses. Baby Koracick needs these."

"She has plenty of clothes. We still have all of Allison's old clothes," Teddy explained.

Megan patted Teddy's stomach. "Don't worry, sweetheart. Auntie Megan will make sure you don't get only old hand-me-downs."

Teddy laughed. She loved having Megan around. They were bonding over their pregnancies and it felt like they were close sisters, just like when they were in the army.

Teddy ended up agreeing with all of Megan's purchases and loaded up her car with new things for their baby.

"Ooh, baby is hungry," Megan said, rubbing her stomach. "You want to get lunch?"

Teddy agreed and got into Megan's car so that they only had to take one car. They talked as they drove about baby names.

"I think Tom is purposefully choosing names I hate just to annoy me."

"You think you know someone until you find out what names they like," Megan agreed. "Nathan apparently thinks our son is going to come out as a 90 year old man. He keeps giving me old people names."

Teddy laughed. The two were in a fit of laughter over the names that Nathan and Tom had come up with that they didn't even notice a car running a red light from the right. The sound of laughter was replaced with the sound of scraping metal as the car rammed into the passenger's side.

"Teddy!" Megan yelled, once the car, stopped moving and she realized what had happened. She looked over and saw that Teddy was unconscious with broken glass over her body, and blood running down her face. "Teddy? Oh God."

She struggled to unbuckle her seat belt and push away the airbags, being mostly fine, and reached across the center of the car for Teddy's neck. She felt for a pulse but it was weak. Witnesses to the scene came in to help, as Megan noticed that the seat beneath Teddy was wet. Her water had broken but there was also blood mixed in.

"An ambulance is on the way," a passerby told her.

"Help," she pleaded. "Help me get her to this side."

"I think we should wait for an ambulance."

"I'm a doctor!" Megan yelled at him, sounding a little crazy. "I need to move her and check on her baby."

Two bystanders had Megan move away from the car and worked together to pull Teddy out through the driver's side door. As soon as she was out, Megan got to work. The two bystanders held their jackets out to give Teddy some privacy from the forming crowd as Megan examined her.

"It's okay, Teds," Megan whispered, despite Teddy's unconscious state. She was more giving herself the pep talk. "I've got this. I'm going to save her. I promise."

Megan found that Teddy was in active labor, likely started from a placental abruption caused by the crash. Megan was stressed and hoped an ambulance would be there soon. Teddy was only 35 weeks along. She then felt her own contraction hit, but grimaced through it.

Megan could see the baby's head by the time the ambulance arrived. The paramedics assisted Megan with the delivery, offering her towels and sterile tools. When the baby girl was finally in Megan's arms, she noticed that the baby was not breathing. She let the paramedics take care of Teddy as she performed CPR on the baby.

"Oh come on," Megan pleaded, ignoring her second contraction. "Come on, pretty girl."

Megan cried as she performed CPR and one of the paramedic asked if she could take over. Megan knew it sounded harsh to yell 'no' at her but there was no way she would trust anyone else with Teddy and Tom's baby. Finally, the sound of crying filled the air and Megan began to cry along with the tiny baby in her arms in relief. She hopped into the rig with the paramedics and Teddy, holding the premature baby closely.

"Tell Grey-Sloan that she will need a blood transfusion, a head CT, and to check for internal bleeding," Megan ordered the paramedic. "The baby will need an incubator in the NICU. And, I need Carina DeLuca to deliver my baby. I'm four minutes apart."

As the rig pulled into the hospital, Owen and Tom were shocked to see Megan hop out of the ambulance.

"Megan?" Owen asked.

"I'm so sorry!" Megan apologized, handing Tom the baby. "The driver came out of nowhere."

"Is this-?" Tom started to ask, his eyes widening. He held the baby against his chest.

"Yes, I have to go. I'm three minutes apart," Megan said, rushing off to OB.

"Teddy!" Tom exclaimed, as she was put on a gurney in front of him. She was unconscious and Tom began to panic as he pieced together what happened. Megan had delivered the baby 5 weeks early while Teddy was unconscious. Around him, Owen and the other doctors were discussing a game plan as they moved her into the trauma room. "She needs a head CT."

"Tom, you need to get out," Owen insisted. He called for a resident to page Shepherd. "I've got her. Go get the baby to the NICU and stay with her."

Tom didn't want to leave Teddy but knew that the baby needed to be checked out. He kissed Teddy's forehead gently. "I love you. And, you have to meet our girl, okay?"

With that Tom left and brought the baby up to the NICU. It wasn't until she was in the incubator that Tom felt a small bit of relief. Their baby had survived. He just hoped Teddy would too.

Tom sat with his hand inside the incubator as he waited for more news on Teddy. The only thing keeping him from breaking down was the soft feeling of his daughter's hand squeezing his pinky finger slightly.

Teddy had a brain bleed and internal bleeding in her abdomen from the crash. They weren't sure exactly where the bleeding in the abdomen was coming from and would have to do exploratory surgery to figure it out. She had already lost a lot of blood. He trusted Amelia in the OR and only wished that Bailey hadn't kicked Owen out of the OR for being too close to her. He knew why surgeons couldn't operate on family but also knew that Owen would be more inclined to save her than any other surgeon.

Tom perked up as Owen walked in, hoping he had an update.

"Bailey found the source of bleeding. She's repairing it now," Owen told him.

"Thanks," Tom said sadly.

"You should eat something," Owen suggested. "Or take a walk. You haven't moved in hours."

"I'm not leaving her alone," Tom insisted.

Owen supposed he wouldn't want to leave either if he were Tom. "I'll stay with her until you get back. You need a break."

Tom sighed. "Okay."

Owen took his place and Tom left the room. He didn't stop at the cafeteria despite not having eaten since the day before. He went straight to the hospital's church and lit a candle before sitting in the back pew.

He shook his head, unsure of what to say. "I can't lose her, David. I know I think a lot about how much I wish you could have met her because I think you would really liked her. But, as much as I wish you two could meet, please don't let it be now. I need her. Your little sister needs her. I love her."

Teddy's eyes fluttered open and she saw Owen sitting in the chair beside her. Teddy grimaced in pain. She reached to stroke her stomach but it was not as round as she remembered. She went from being groggy to wide awake as she began to panic.

"No, no, no," she muttered. "Owen. Where is she? What happened to her?"

"Shh shh," Owen whispered. "She's in the NICU. Tom is with her. He was down here earlier but he wasn't sure which of you he should stay with."

"She's alive?" Teddy asked, starting to cry in relief.

"Yeah," Owen told her. "Megan delivered her. While being in labor. The baby is doing really well. You on the other hand-you really had me worried."

Teddy squeezed Owen's hand and Owen explained that she had had a brain bleed and some internal bleeding in her abdomen which he and Amelia had managed to fix. Despite hearing this, Teddy threw the covers off herself and tried to stand. Owen caught her and made her lay back down.

"Owen, I need to see my baby," Teddy told him. "Please. I need to see her. I haven't seen her yet."

"I'll see what I can do," Owen insisted. "I'll have Tom come down, okay?"

Teddy nodded as Owen left the room. It was only a minute later when Tom ran into the room and hugged Teddy.

"Thank God you're okay," Tom said, squishing her tightly. He had tears in his eyes, thankful that she was alive.

"Tom," Teddy whispered.

"What?"

"You're hurting me," Teddy told him. Tom released her and held her hands instead.

"Sorry," he apologized. "I was so worried."

Teddy pulled him in for a kiss, letting him know how happy she was to be alive and to see him again.

"We have a baby?" Teddy asked, confirming what Owen had already told her.

"Yeah," Tom answered. "Hunt is bringing her down in the incubator. She is so tiny and perfect."

"Healthy?" Teddy asked.

Tom nodded. "Her lungs are a little underdeveloped. But, besides that, she is healthy."

Teddy nodded, feeling bad that she couldn't keep her baby safely inside her for a few more weeks.

"Oh, here she is," Tom said, watching as Owen wheeled in the incubator with their daughter inside. Teddy gasped in awe of her baby as she came into view.

"Text me if you need anything," Owen told them before stepping out of the room to give them privacy.

"Come here, Megan, time to meet Mommy," Tom said to the baby, as he wheeled the incubator closer for Teddy to reach in.

"Megan? Did you name her?" Teddy asked.

"Oh, well, no not officially," Tom said. "I wanted to wait for you. But, I also couldn't keep calling her 'the baby' and so I just started calling her Megan because Megan saved her while she was literally in labor. I figured she could use some of her Aunt Megan's toughness."

Teddy smiled as she touched her little girl's hand. "I love it."

Teddy and Tom spent hours marveling over Megan and discussing how Leo and Allison would react to the new baby.

"We're home," Teddy announced, as she, Tom, and baby Megan walked through the front door. Leo and Allison ran up to them and Teddy gave them tight hugs, having missed them so much while she was recovering in the hospital. Owen had brought them to visit but it wasn't the same as playing with them at home. Owen and Amelia helped Teddy and Tom bring in their belongings and get situated in the living room where Megan, Nathan, Farouk, and their baby were already waiting for them. It was the first time that Teddy had seen Megan since the accident as Megan had been busy with being a new mom too.

Teddy immediately went over to her and gave her a hug. "Thank you. Thank you so much."

"Don't ever scare me like that again, Altman," Megan insisted. "That was terrifying. I don't remember the last time I delivered a baby."

"Well, Megan turned out perfectly," Teddy told her, touching her baby's nose.

"You named her Megan?" Megan asked, flattered that Teddy and Tom would do that. Teddy nodded and Megan hugged Teddy again. Megan then picked up her baby and Teddy brushed her fingers over his forehead. "Meet Theo."

"Hi Theo," Teddy cooed.

"His full name is Theodore because I wanted to name him after you. But, we'll call him Theo instead of Teddy," Megan explained.

"You named him after me?" Teddy asked. "Why?"

"Because I love you," Megan answered. "You're my family and I wanted to name him after someone special."

Teddy smiled. They all sat down and had the kids meet the new babies. It was the perfect moment. Whether by blood, shared children, marriage, or just pure love, everyone in the room was family.

A/N: Well, there it is! I hope you enjoyed it! Please review and let me know. As I mentioned previously, I'm going to be doing another story with little snippets of their lives while the kids grow up as a continuation to this. I have over 20 ideas for chapters for it. Let me know if you'd be interested in that. I also have a season 16 AU Toddy story in the works right now that I'm excited about. Thank you all for reading!
