At the end of August Megan called Owen and Teddy.

"I hate the face time family chats," Teddy groaned.

"But Teddy I have news," Megan beamed.

"What type of news," Teddy asked, "you didn't get married with out us did you?"

"No," Megan said, "we're having twins."

"Twins," Teddy said.

"You were right," Megan said.

"I was only teasing," Teddy said.

"I know you were but it's true," Megan said.

"Two," Owen said.

"Two," Nathan agreed.

"Identical," Teddy asked.

"We think so," Megan said, "it runs in both our families."

"Can they tell," Owen asked.

"Not until we can see the genders," Megan said, "but we're looking at best case scenario, they both have their own sacks and placentas."

"Good," Teddy said, "how are you feeling?"

"Shock," Nathan said, "we found out two days ago and the shock hasn't worn off yet."

"How can we help," Teddy asked.

"Nothing right now," Megan said, "come down once their born and meet them."

"We'll come and help," Teddy said.

"We haven't told mom but we're going to ask her to come down a few weeks early," Megan said.

"She's going to be happy," Owen said.

"Four kids," Teddy said.

"You two catching up," Nathan asked.

"We're done," Teddy declared, "we are done. I'm not doing that again."

"It will be a handful," Megan said.

"We'll have our camping trips and we can take all the kids to disneyland," Owen said.

"Next summer," Teddy suggested.

"We will," Nathan said, "and we'll do Christmas here. I don't want Meg travelling then."

"No," Teddy said, "that wouldn't be a great idea."

"We'll come for christmas," Owen said.

"And we'll do all the work," Teddy said, "Megan are you sure you're okay?"

"Nervous but it'll be good," Megan said, "its two babies to love."

"How did Faroke and Cassie take it," Teddy asked.

"Faroke is pouting and Cassie is oblivious," Nathan replied.

"Allison didn't understand until Danny was here," Owen said.

"She got it," Teddy said, "she knew where Daniel was and would poke my stomach."

"Any conflicts," Megan asked.

"Some pushing," Teddy remembered, "I'd be feeding him and she would try to join in."

"How did you work with that," Megan asked.

"Owen would take her and hold her or play with her the first few weeks," Teddy said, "there was some waking him up and not understanding. She came around after about a month and we needed to practice having her be a big girl and the helper."

"If she acted like a baby she didn't get to do the big girl things," Owen said.

"It was a balancing act," Teddy said, "I was worn out."

"You don't take enough time for yourself," Owen argued.

"We just did a few days away," Teddy said.

"Date night is hard" Megan said, "not having people to babysit."

"Faroke," Owen said.

"No," Megan said, "he is not responsible enough."

"For a couple hours for you to get dinner," Teddy questioned, "at his age I babysat other kids in our building."

"We tried to go grocery shopping," Nathan said, "Cassie was pulling everything out of the pantry and Faroke was on the beach."

"Ya no," Teddy said.

"He was grounded for that," Nathan said.

"Thats the least of his worries," Owen countered.

"It took everything I have not to hit him," Megan admitted.

"I would have," Owen agreed.

"How's being back at Grey Sloan," Nathan asked.

"Tom Koracic in neuro pisses me off," Owen said.

"He keeps hitting on me," Teddy groaned.

"No does he know you're married," Megan asked.

"I've said it," Teddy replied, "we've walked in together, with all three kids."

"And he doesn't get it," Megan said.

"No," Teddy said, "it's weird. He's like obsessed. He's in my gallery trying to talk to me."

"I've met him on the conference circut," Nathan said, "he's a creep."

"Not like I haven't dealt with worse," Teddy said.

"And what did you do in the army with it," Megan said.

"I fought it," Teddy said, "I had power there. He's neuro and chief of chiefs. He out ranks me."

"So," Megan said, "stand up."

"Bailey, Catherine Fox," Teddy asked.

"Fox," Nathan said, "Bailey is good but Fox is the top of the food chain."

"I've tried taking him aside to talk to him," Owen said.

"Did that work," Nathan asked.

"No," Owen said, "it made it worse."

"Mommy," a little voice called on Megan and Nathan's end.

"We'll let you go," Teddy said, "Congratulations again."

"Love you," Megan said.

"Love you two," Teddy replied before Megan hung up.

Owen turned to Teddy, "they're having twins."

"Her age, twins and the transplant," Teddy shook her head, "she has to be careful."

"She will be," Owen said, "we'll help out as much as we can."

"It would be easier if we were in the same city," Teddy said, "I miss her. I miss my friends."

"I know you do," Owen said hugging her, "how can I help?"

"I miss all of us sitting together on the weekend while the kids play," Teddy said, "or going down or her coming up for a glass of wine."

"She's not drinking now anyway," Owen reminded.

"But tea then," Teddy argued, "I miss that connection. Feeling like I have a friend not like I'm tolerated. Amelia tolerates me, Maggie might dislike me, Grey has never liked me. Arizona is gone and Callie, Bailey and I were never close. Jo Wilson I'm not sure of."

"Deluca," Owen asked.

"I guess," Teddy said, "I don't know her. Everyone I spent time with when I worked here is gone. Sloan, Derek, Callie, Arizona."

"I know," Owen replied, "you've given up a lot to move here for me."

"It was time," she said, "you needed to come home. You were finding it harder and harder. We want the kids educated here and honestly after almost 20 years of service it was time."

"We could have worked elsewhere there," Owen said.

"You wouldn't have been happy," she said.

"But you're not," he said.

"I'm not unhappy," she argued, "just adjusting. I need to make some friends and find my footing here again. Maybe they'll be moms at the school?"

"Possibly," he agreed.

"We got a letter from his teacher today," she said, "Mrs. Roberts. She sounded upbeat in the welcome letter."

"Don't we have a meet the teacher thing," Owen asked.

"Tomorrow at nine," she replied, "we're both off."

"I want to go," he said.

"We both should," she agreed, "explain Leo's past and experiences."

"Even that they've essentially grown up on a base," he said.

"I thought of that," she agreed.

"We'll both go tomorrow," he said.

"We are," she agreed, "I need to run to the grocery store or we'll have nothing for breakfast."

"Go," Owen said, "I'll finish the laundry."

"Thanks," Teddy said, she grabbed her keys and purse and walked out the door.

The next morning they walked to the elementary school to meet Leo's teacher.

"Hunt-Altman," a blonde woman about their age called.

Teddy and Owen stood up.

"Owen Hunt," the woman asked.

"Yes," Owen said, "I don't know if you remember me. I used to hang out with Megan in highschool and college. She was my best friend."

"Kiki Blouin," Owen asked.

"Roberts now," Kiki replied, "I cried when I heard about Megan. I'm so sorry."

"She was found almost 6 years ago now," Owen said, "she's in LA. she has two kids, Faroke is 6, Cassie is 2 and now she's having twins."

"Are you still close," Kiki asked.

"We are," Teddy said, "have you taught long?"

"22 years," Kiki said, "all in kindergarten, tell me about Leo."

"Leo is adopted and the oldest of our three," Owen said, "he was adopted at six months after his birth mother gave up her rights to him. His birth mom passed from an overdose when he was 7 months."

"His siblings," Kiki asked.

"Our biological children," Teddy said, "Allison is 4 and Daniel is 2. I met Leo just before his second birthday when Owen moved to Germany with Leo."

"Germany," Kiki asked.

"We both just left the army," Teddy said, "together we have 30 years of service. Along with Megan and Nathan."

"She's still with Nathan," Kiki asked.

"Yes and very happy," Teddy said.

"Tell me more about Leo," Kiki said.

"He's bilingual," Teddy said, "english and German. We are going to a family German program once a week to help keep their skills and so they learn to read and write it."

"Has he been to preschool," Kiki asked.

"He has been to daycare and preschool in German," Owen said, "he understands both and knows his alphabet in both. He has some basic reading in German as well. We've always spoken and read to the kids in both languages. He loves to cook with Teddy and our puppy Mellow."

"Mellow," Kiki asked.

"She's a white lab," Teddy said, "the kids tried to name her marshmallow."

"And what do you both do for work," Kiki asked.

"I'm chief of trauma surgery at Grey Sloan," Owen replied, "and Teddy is a cardiothoracic surgeon there."

"Busy house then," Kiki said.

"Yes," Teddy said, "Evelyn, Owen's mom helps a lot. Leo will be going to before and afterschool care across the street, Allison is in their preK program and Daniel is in the hospital daycare for this year then we'll see."

"Leo's background," Kiki said looking at her interview sheet.

"Two parent home," Teddy said, "he knows hes adopted and a bit of the story. Obviously he's too young for the whole story. We've focused on that he is loved and we chose him. I met him a couple weeks before he turned two when they moved to Germany and he was instantly my son."

"You didn't adopt him together," Kiki asked.

"No," Owen said, "we were best friends when I adopted Leo on my own."

"His sister is only a year younger," Kiki asked.

"14 months," Teddy said, "when Owen adopted Leo he didn't know that Allison was on her way. We weren't a couple until Leo was nearly 2 and Allison was 9 months. We were both with the army and life was complicated."

"He's grown up around the army then," Kiki asked.

"Yes," Teddy said, "he knows what we did and was taught to respect people in uniform. Yes sir and no ma'am. He's played dress up in our uniforms. Our children don't see it as scary. To them its mom and dad, auntie Megan and uncle Nathan, their cousin Max."

""They knew Teddy was the colonel and saw people salute both of us in the street," Owen said, "they understand respect and respecting their elders."

"Some parents have difficulty when we do activities to honor veterans," Kiki said.

"Focus on respect," Teddy said, "and we're happy to come in or to talk to other parents about our experiences."

"How has Leo done adapting to other programs," Kiki asked.

"He liked daycare and his preschool program," Owen said.

"He loves swimming lessons," Teddy said, "he's played soccer and will play this fall. He likes being with other kids and making friends."

"How are his social skills," Kiki asked.

"Great," Owen said, "friendly, adaptable, kind. He's protective of his siblings."

"Can he use the washroom independently," Kiki asked.

"He was trained just after he turned two," Teddy said, "he's independent that way. He feeds and dresses himself without an issue. We want our kids to be as independent as possible. He helps keep his room clean, and does some basic chores at home."

"What sort of chores," Kiki asked.

"He loves to cook with me," Teddy said, "make his bed, laundry in the hamper, he helps fold laundry, helps clear and set the table, toys away."

"Sounds like he's learning a lot," Kiki said, "tell me about a typical weekend day for your family."

"Swimming lessons on Saturday mornings for all three kids," Owen said, "then exploring a new park or a hike, maybe a trip to the zoo or the beach, the science center on a rainy day. We do the weekly errands together with the kids. Saturday is usually family movie night. Sunday is church and some time with my mom, maybe a drive or another park and a picnic, meet up with friends."

"Busy boy," Kiki said, "other than swimming and soccer is he taking any lessons?"

"We go to a family German class," Owen said, "we've talked about music but he's not super interested."

"What is he interested in," Kiki asked.

"Cars, animals, anything with an engine," Owen said.

"He likes books and stores," Teddy said, "they don't get a lot of screen time."

"In a day," Kiki asked.

"Maybe half an hour while we make dinner on a week day," Teddy said, "maybe a bit more on the weekend. We have a family ipad but it's mainly mine. They've used it more for talking to Megan since she moved to LA or Evelyn when we were in Germany."

"Pick up and drop off," Kiki asked.

"Usualy the daycare across the street," Owen said, "sometimes my mom. Obviously if something happens you call either of us. It doesn't matter which and we will come or send my mom."

"Is he close to his grandparents," Kiki asked.

"You know about my dad," Owen said.

"My parents passed in 2000 and 2001," Teddy answered, "he's met my brother and that set of cousins a few times but we're closer to Megan's family. We were all in the same building in Landsthul for almost 2 years."

"Have there been any concerns about his behaviour or learning," Kiki asked.

"Learning he seems to be on track from what they told us," Teddy said, "some anxiety about our move but he's settling in now. Behaviour is typical kid stuff, he fights with his siblings, sometimes plays a bit rough, he's really energetic and doesn't love being told to sit and draw or colour. We know he has to learn."

"What works best to redirect him," Kiki asked.

"We usually tell our kids what they are going to do and why it's important to do it," Owen said, "time out to calm down, immediate consequences."

"We try natural and logical consequences where we can," Teddy said.

"We do love and logic here," Kiki replied.

"I liked that book," Teddy agreed.

"Do you have any questions for me," Kiki asked.

"Is Leo eligible for English Language support," Owen asked, "we speak english at home but his previous education is in german."

"I'm going to observe him the first few weeks," Kiki answered, "and if there is a concern I will let you know then bring it forward to our school based team."

"School based team," Teddy asked.

"Resource room teacher, special education teachers, principal, school counslor, school psychologist, speech pathologist, English Language Learner Teacher, social worker, child care worker," Kiki said, "we would discuss the challenges Leo had and come up with a plan to wrap around and support him."

"A multi discpliarny team," Owen said.

"Yes," Kiki smiled.

Teddy checked her watch, "we've already over stayed our time. We should get going."

"Reading Leo's file I did leave the time after you open," Kiki said, "it was good to see both of you."

"It was good to see you as well," Owen agreed.

"Tell Megan I say hello," Kiki said.

"I will," Owen agreed.

They shook the teachers hand and walked out of the classroom.

"I like her," Teddy said.

"So do I," Owen said, "she was Megan's best friend for years. Kiki was devastated when Megan was captured. I can't believe no one told her."

"Will she be unbiased with Leo," Teddy asked.

"She was always nice," Owen said, "I'm sure she's a good teacher."

"The room was so bright and cheerful," Teddy smiled.

"He'll like it," Owen agreed.

"Six more sleeps to kindergarten," Teddy teased.

"We have one in school," Owen said.

"We do," Teddy smiled.

They continued walking home hand in hand.
