"Our last night here," Teddy sighed as they walked through the small city for the last time.

"I'm going to miss this place," Owen agreed.

"You hate Germany," Teddy said.

"I love what it brought to my life," Owen smiled.

"Our family," Teddy said, "should we go to the bakery for cookies and cocoa?"

"Last time," Owen said.

"Lets all get two cookies," Teddy smiled.

"You're getting cookies for the plane aren't you," Owen asked.

"Yes," Teddy said.

They went in and ordered their favourite cookies getting way more than they usually would.

"Teddy," Owen said.

"A little taste of here while we settle in at the new house," Teddy said.

"Okay," Owen agreed, "being sentimental?"

"No," Teddy said.

"We've been to the Tower to hike it with the kids, our favourite restaurants and parks," Owen said, "your ordering roast chicken tonight."

"Maybe a little," Teddy said.

"Were camping in the living room," Owen said.

"I know," Teddy answered.

"Mommy, do we go to Seattle tomorrow," Allison asked.

"We do," Teddy said, "are you excited?"

"No," Allison said.

"Why," Owen asked.

"All my friends are here," Allison argued.

"I know," Teddy agreed, "most of my friends are here."

"What about auntie," Allison asked.

"They leave here in two weeks to come see us then they go to LA," Teddy said.

"I've only lived here," Allison whined.

"I know," Teddy smiled, "we'll come back and visit one day. I've lived here ten years now."

"Where was I born," Allison asked.

"At the hospital here," Teddy said, "you almost came in my office."

"Your office," Allison asked.

"You wanted to meet me," Teddy said.

"Did daddy not love me," Allison said, "he wasn't here."

"I loved you the moment I met you princess," Owen promised, "the moment I knew you existed."

They both knew that one day they would have to tell the kids about their fight and the 18 months they hadn't talked but they were too young. One day they would have to tell Allison that Teddy had hidden her from Owen for months.

They finished their walk through the city, taking hundreds of photos in favourite spots making sure they captured the memories. Owen knew that Teddy's phone, computer and google drive were full of photos and videos of the kids here.

"Will I still learn German," Leo asked.

"You will," Teddy said, "we found a family German group that meets once a week so we can all practice."

"Will grandma come visit," Leo asked.

"We'll see grandma all the time but it's only a ten minute drive from our house so she'll come visit you might sleep over at grandmas but we'll all sleep at our own houses most of the time," Owen said, "we'll see grandma a lot."

"Auntie," Allison asked.

"We wont see auntie Megan as much," Teddy explained, "we have to drive for a couple days or take a plane to see her. We've been lucky to have her right here for the last couple years. We'll still talk to auntie every day."

"Cassie," Allison said.

"We'll see her as much as we can," Teddy promised.

They walked back to their building and Teddy paused on the front steps looking at the door, she saw ghosts of her past self, broken and alone after losing Henry, rebuilding her life and starting to let people in again, elated running to the hospital to confirm it was Megan, the night she had run out looking for Owen barefoot after throwing him out, discovering she was pregnant, waddling up the stairs with heavy bags of baby things for Allison, carrying her newborn home, walking with her baby, her and Owen each carrying tiny Allison and Leo in baby carriers, getting engaged on these steps, building their family, the five of them surviving the pandemic, the kids learning to climb stairs. This building held some of her best moments in the last 20 years, she built her family here, but they had out grown it both emotionally and physically. She had grown here, changed and matured and it was time to say good bye.

The kids scampered up the steps and waited at the door.

"You okay," Owen asked.

"I'll miss this place," Teddy said.

"It's been your home a long time," Owen said.

"Just saying goodbye to the memories," Teddy said, "the first time Leo ran to me was on those stairs."

"They all learned to do stairs alone there," he said, "we got engaged on them."

"You're not supposed to let me wallow," she argued.

"Letting you remember," he said, "giving you time."

"Megan is waiting for us," Teddy said.

They walked in hand in hand with the kids scampering in front of them.

"We're going to auntie Megans and Uncle Nathan's," Teddy said as they got in the elevator.

They walked down the hall to Megan and Nathan's.

"Enought boxes," Teddy teased.

"The whole send everything ahead of you so you have it when you get there," Megan said.

"It's a lot," Teddy said.

"Two years of stuff to go through," Megan sighed.

"Ten," Teddy said, "it was good to do."

"You shipped most things," Megan teased.

"Not everything," Teddy said, "the couch and table are staying, the kids beds."

"Not yours," Nathan asked.

"That was Owen's idea," Teddy said.

"It's a gorgeous house," Megan said.

"It will take a while to feel at home," Teddy said, "I've never lived in a house. I had a little one bedroom cottage for a few months in Seattle but I was hardly there. You're going back to your beach house."

"We are," Megan said, "just need to get our stuff out of storage there. This place came furnished. And now I can set up a nursery."

"A nursery," Teddy asked, "Megan are you?"

"Yes," Megan smiled, "we found out a few weeks ago."

"When," Teddy asked.

"Feburary," Megan said, "I'm good. Feeling good so far. Way less sick then I was with Cassie."

"Daniel was worse for me," Teddy said.

"Or you had Owen and gave into it," Megan said.

"Does your mom know," Teddy asked.

"Not yet," Megan said, "I'll call her tonight."

"Congratulations," Teddy beamed hugging Megan.

"Thanks," Megan smiled.

"It's time to be home with our kids," Teddy said.

"Home," Megan agreed, "I may step down and find a job in LA."

"Its your call," Teddy said, "I am because it's time and theres no real movement upwards for me. For me to go back I had to step down."

"I'm going to miss this," Megan said, "sitting around after work with you the kids playing together."

"Me two," Teddy agreed, "I like having a sister."

"So do I," Megan agreed, "we're in the same time zone and long weekends it's easy to fly to visit."

"With three flying is hard," Teddy said.

"Teenager," Megan said, "he's easy to fly with."

"True, we're all under six," Teddy smiled.

"I can't believe the babies are almost two," Megan said.

"And you're having another," Teddy said, "I'm happy for you."

"You," Megan said.

"We're done," Teddy replied, "no more babies. We may foster down the line when we have more time but that's a long way off."

"Megan we have three," Owen said, "three is very different from two."

"I'll find out soon," Megan said, "Owen I'm due in Feburary."

"Megan are you," Owen asked.

"Yes," she squealed, "don't tell mom yet. Her head is going to explode."

Owen hugged his sister, "I'm happy for you and tell mom soon. We go there tomorrow."

"I'm going to miss seeing you every day, Eeyore," Megan said.

"I'll miss you two," Owen said, "I like having you around."

"I'll call every day," Megan said, "someone has to tease you every day or you get all up tight."

"He's improving," Teddy teased.

"He is," Megan agreed, "you and the kids are good for him."

"But you have to call us every day," Teddy said.

"I will," Megan said, "some one has to make major diamond relax."

"Hey I thought we were done with that," Owen said.

"Never," Megan said, "but no more uniforms."

"I'm done," Owen said, "this was to be six months when I came here."

"I'm glad you decided to stay longer," Teddy smiled.

"Go home Owen," Megan said, "finally marry Teddy. Raise your family. Go get a dog."

"About that," Owen said.

"You promised," Teddy said, "come on Ive always wanted a puppy."

"We're getting one," Owen said, "the breeder emailed today. They can go home when we get back from our honey moon."

"What," Teddy asked.

"I put a deposit on a golden retriever puppy," Owen said, "the litter was born two days ago and the breeder says they look good."

"Thank you," Teddy squealed throwing her arms around Owen.

"Do you want to see pictures," he asked.

"Yes," Teddy said bouncing like a child.

Owen opened the email from the breeder and showed Teddy the pictures.

"Which one is ours," Teddy asked.

"She hasn't said," Owen replied, "they want to see the personality first."

"The dog will be good with the kids," Teddy asked.

"She knows we have three kids and how old they are," Owen said, "we'll get to meet the litter when we get home."

Owen was trying to use the word home for Seattle to help the kids and Teddy resettle.

"Home," Teddy said.

"This has been your home for a long time," Megan said.

"It has," Teddy agreed.

"Mom's excited," Megan offered.

"It'll be good to see her and for her to be part of the kids day to day lives," Teddy agreed.

"You'll be okay," Megan said, "you're going with your kids and Owen."

"I know," Teddy said, "but my best friend is a 2 hour flight away instead of two flights of stairs."

"And we will talk everyday," Megan said, "we have for 4 years Teddy."

Seeing that Owen and Nathan were playing with the kids Teddy whispered, "Seattle doesn't have as many good memories as here."

"Your second husband," Megan said.

"Yes," Teddy said.

"When I was being held hostage all I wanted for Nathan was for him to be loved and happy," Megan said, "Teddy he would want you to be happy and loved. Henry would want to see you happy."

"I haven't worked at Grey Sloan since," Teddy said, "I didn't leave on the best terms last time I worked there. Owen fired me!"

"He fired you," Megan asked, "what happened?"

"He knew about the offer here and that I wasn't going to take it," Teddy said, "so he fired me to make me take it."

"You weren't going to take it," Megan asked, "why?"

"Owen," Teddy said, "he was a mess. He was so broken and alone that I was going to stay to make sure he pulled through."

"Let me guess this has to do with Christina," Megan said.

"Yes," Teddy replied.

"Have you heard," Megan asked.

"A few baby pictures, she's cute, Meredith," Teddy replied, "it's Yang theres no details just the name and a photo."

"Do you talk to her," Megan asked, "you were friendly."

"No," Teddy said, "she's my former student, we were friendly and would have a few drinks on the conference circuit but never real friends."

"Seattle will be great," Megan assured, "I saw it when I was there they respect you."

"Bailey, Webber maybe," Teddy said, "Grey was never my biggest fan, Karev is gone so is Avery."

"You'll make friends," Megan said, "Pierce seemed okay."

"Young," Teddy said.

"Just be open minded Teddy," Megan said, "go be with your kids, make friends, enjoy your wedding."

"Do you still want to be my maid of honour," Teddy asked.

"Why wouldn't I be," Megan said, "I am all in for that."

"Baby," Teddy said, "I understand."

"I'm doing it," Megan said, "Teddy I would do it in labour for you. It's you and Owen. it's meant to be. It always has been."

"Its right," Teddy smiled, "for the first time it's right."

"We all knew it 20 years ago," Megan smiled.

"We weren't ready," Teddy said, "then he came to see me."

"And Allison," Megan smiled.

"This is what I want," Teddy said, "what I've always wanted. The life I pictured."

"You look happy," Megan said, "the five of you are the perfect family."

"I'm happy," Teddy said, "we're good. A bit nervous about going to Seattle and starting over again."

"You're not going alone," Megan said, "we'll be there in two weeks and you get married two weeks after that."

"Dresses," Teddy said.

"We'll find perfect ones," Megan assured, "you can go without me."

"I'll ask your mom," Teddy said, "simple."

"Make it all about you and Owen," Megan said.

"We're happy," Teddy said, "thats all that matters."

"It is," Megan said, "he's happy. Teddy he's actually happy."

Teddy looked at where Owen had four kids climbing on him.

"He is," Teddy said, "they all are. We'll be fine. We're together."

"You're together," Megan assured.

"Until we're ancient and grey," Teddy said, "in wheel chairs."

"You two never," Megan said, "you'll be like mom."

"I hope so," Teddy smiled.

"You've always been the one who kept us moving forward," Megan said, "always strong for us."

"You've been there for me a lot the last few years," Teddy smiled and glanced at her family again.

"We're family," Megan said, "that's what we do."

"Family," Teddy agreed, "my sister."

"Always," Megan smiled.

"Now we get to celebrate your baby," Teddy smiled, "and all the attention is on you this time. You're going to love it."

"It was kinda fun to share," Megan said.

"Your mom will fly down again and we'll come as soon as you want us to meet them," Teddy promised, "I want to hold and snuggle them all new and squishy."

"You will," Megan promised.

"Meg should we eat," Nathan called.

"We should," Megan agreed.

"I'll order and go get it," Owen said.

"Can we leave the kids with you and walk over," Teddy asked.

"Of course," Nathan agreed.

Owen called the roast chicken place then him and Teddy slipped on their shoes to walk to it for the last time.
