A/N: I am so unbelievably thrilled by all the positive response to this story. Thank you so so much. I had written this chapter a little while ago but this week's episode made me want to add the conversation about houses that Teddy and Tom were having.

Tom stopped at his hotel room and found that Teddy wasn't there, meaning she was probably at the hospital. He wanted to surprise her so he headed to the hospital to find her without texting her to tell her that he was back. As he stepped out of the elevator at the hospital, he instantly found her clutching onto Owen whose arms were wrapped tightly around her. He immediately felt disappointed. He had quit his job for her and she very well could still be in love with Owen. He understood that her feelings for him would always be complicated but hoped that she had put those in the past. And, how dare Owen try to move in on her now that he and Amelia were done for the thousandth time. He considered interrupting their very long and loving hug but decided against it, and went back to the hotel.

He wasn't sure yet what to say to Teddy. Although he was usually overly confident, Tom had to admit that he was worried about losing Teddy to Owen. He barely had time to figure it out when Teddy walked through the door. Teddy nearly fell over scared when she saw Tom sitting on the bed in the hotel room.

"Oh my God," Teddy said, out of breath. "You scared me."

She crawled into bed and hugged him tightly. "Why are you back so soon?"

"Is that a problem?" Tom asked.

Teddy smiled. "Actually, I couldn't be happier that you are. I had a hard day."

Tom pulled her closer. He figured that her being happy to see him was a good sign. "What happened?"

Teddy sighed, thinking of the poor woman who lost her baby today. "I think I've cried enough today. Could we not talk about it?"

"Sure, whatever you need," Tom agreed. Maybe she had been crying to Owen. Maybe that's why they were hugging. Tom still didn't like it though. All of a sudden it didn't matter though because Teddy started crying. She didn't want to talk about it, but she was looking to him for comfort and Tom obliged, holding her close, running his hand through her hair, and kissing the top of her head. Eventually, she cried herself to sleep and Tom fell asleep shortly after her.

Teddy woke up to the smell of bacon. She immediately opened her eyes and saw Tom with a tray of breakfast food.

"Hungry?" Tom asked her, setting down the food.

"Starving," she corrected. "Thank you. For breakfast. And, for being here last night. I don't know what I did to deserve you."

"Well, you deserve the best. Which is why you got me," Tom replied, arrogantly.

Teddy laughed. "So, tell me about your trip. How'd you get out of working there the rest of the week?"

"Easily. I quit," Tom told her, but said it sarcastically.

"You're impossible," Teddy giggled, believing that his quitting was only a joke. Tom wanted to tell her he wasn't joking but wanted to wait to tell her until he knew for sure that she wasn't considering going back to Hunt. The last thing he wanted to admit was that he had given up an amazing job to move to Seattle for a woman that didn't feel the same way about him as he did about her.

"I looked up some houses that are for sale yesterday," Teddy said, changing the subject after realizing that Tom was not going to tell her about his time in Maryland. "And, I have the morning off today. Would you be interested in coming with me to see a few of them?"

Tom smiled. "I'd love to."

Teddy and Tom were walking through the first house on Teddy's list at the open house.

"What do you think?" Teddy asked.

"It's a little small but nice," Tom commented.

"Small?" Teddy repeated, surprised. "This house has plenty of space for three."

"Three?" Tom implored.

"Well, yeah." Teddy stopped before entering the master bedroom and turned to Tom. "I mean, not right away or anything. But, well, we've been staying together a lot recently. I just mean, eventually if things work out..."

Tom just smiled at her as she stammered away. He thought there was nothing cuter than watching her babble when she's anxious.

"I just think it would only be fair to pick a place that you like too, in case things work out and you want to move in some day," Teddy continued. She looked like she was going to keep going so Tom stopped her with a kiss. They smiled as they broke apart, Teddy's worries falling away. She was happy to know that the idea of moving in with her didn't scare Tom away.

"Let's check out the bedroom," Teddy suggested, opening the door behind them.

"Is that a stripper pole?" Tom asked laughing, as he saw a thin pole from the floor to the ceiling. He walked up to it.

"Ew, don't touch it," Teddy told him, as he approached it. "Who knows if it's clean."

"I lied. I think the house is perfect. We'll put the bed right here."

He indicated to the spot right next to the pole.

"And, who exactly do you think is going to be performing for you?" Teddy teased.

"No no, I was going to perform for you," Tom joked, causing Teddy to laugh hysterically. "I don't think you could handle it though."

"No, I definitely couldn't," Teddy remarked.

The next house they visited was an old Victorian style home. As they walked through, Tom noticed that Teddy was not overly excited about the house despite finding a few key features that she liked. He knew she was worried about finding a home on such short notice and would be willing to take any place that she didn't hate. He didn't want that for her though. She deserved to not have to settle on any house that was less than what she wanted.

As they finished the tour, Teddy noticed the time and realized she needed to be at work soon. They drove to the hospital together. Teddy thought about the house as they drove. It was move-in ready and had some really nice features. She could make it work.

"I liked it," Teddy commented as they walked through the hospital.

"You're joking?" Tom questioned.

"No, it was nice," Teddy shrugged. "The house had bay view windows and original hardwood floors."

"And ghosts," Tom added. "Definitely ghosts near that creepy fireplace."

Teddy glared at him as they ran into Owen.

"So, you're looking at houses?" Owen asked.

"Well, I'm looking at houses," Teddy corrected.

"Yeah, I went along because I can tell you about a house's foundation by walking across it barefoot. It's one of my superpowers," Tom joked.

Owen looked at him disapprovingly.

"I just don't want to raise a baby in a hotel room," Teddy added.

"Well, you could always come stay with me," Owen offered. "I have plenty of room and baby supplies."

"No, I-I'll figure something out," Teddy assured him. The last thing she would consider would be living with Owen in the house that he and Amelia had shared only weeks ago.

"Well, if you change your mind, I'm here," Owen told her before walking away. Tom couldn't believe that Owen had just offered to let Teddy live with him. Was he seriously going after Teddy after everything he put her through?

"You know, I bet Owen's house doesn't have that cute little breakfast nook," Tom said, referring back to house they visited. Anything was better than her moving in with Hunt.

Teddy glared at him. "You just said it was haunted!"

Teddy walked away and Tom followed closely behind.

"It probably isn't," Tom argued.

"Probably?" Teddy asked.

"You don't actually believe in ghosts, do you?" Tom asked.

"No," Teddy lied. Tom looked at her skeptically. "Fine. Maybe a little. And, now I can't live there."

"You didn't want to live there anyway," Tom told her. "We'll find the right place for you. I promise."

Teddy gave him a quick kiss before they went in different directions.

Amelia impatiently tapped her leg as she watched Koracick's surgery from the gallery. As he was finishing, Amelia went down to meet him in the scrub room.

"I'd say nice work but I wouldn't want it to go to your head," Amelia commented as she entered the scrub room.

"Did you need something? Or were you just watching me from the gallery to see a work of pure genius?"

"You need to go back to Hopkins," Amelia said, getting straight to the point. When Tom's face looked confused, she continued. "Although you act like an arrogant ass most of the time, I consider you a friend. Which is why I want to warn you that I got a call from Hopkins today asking if I wanted the Head of Neurosurgery position."

Tom stayed silent as he washed his hands.

"They're trying to give away your job, while you are still in it," Amelia warned, annoyed by how indifferent Tom seemed about it. "Are you really that confident that they won't give it away."

"I quit," Tom admitted.

"I don't think you have to quit. You should probably head back there and do your job, though. We can continue to collaborate without you being here all the time."

"Funny, that's what Dr. Monte told me when I quit," Tom told her again.

"You actually quit?" Amelia asked, shocked by the news. "Why? Why would you quit the perfect job? I mean, what do you do now?"

"Now, I have to ask you for something that is really demeaning so I'd appreciate if you didn't laugh," Tom started. Amelia looked confused. "I need a job."

"You want to work here? For me?" Amelia was skeptical. Tom had too big of an ego not to run his own department.

"Yes," Tom insisted.

"Come with me," Amelia demanded, pulling him by his wrist. She led him to the MRI where there was a line of people.

"What are we doing?" Tom asked.

"Remember my giant brain tumor that caused me to make irrational decisions? I think you have one."

"I don't have a brain tumor," Tom insisted.

"You left a head of neuro position at Johns Hopkins and are asking for an attending position, working for me, at Grey Sloan. Why in the world would a sane person do that?"

Amelia noticed that Tom was no longer paying attention and was looking at Teddy who was filling out a patient's chart down the hall. Suddenly, Amelia understood.

"Oh my God. You love Teddy!" Amelia exclaimed. She had always assumed that he was incapable of love. "You quit your job to be closer to her."

"Shh. Keep your voice down," Tom pleaded, leading her away from where Teddy might overhear.

"You didn't tell her?"

"Oh, I told her I quit. She didn't believe me," Tom shrugged. "I'm just trying not to come on too strong."

"Oh I get it," Amelia responded. "You're scared."

"Scared?" Tom laughed. "I don't think that word is part of my vocabulary."

"You're scared because you impulsively went all in for Teddy and are afraid that she might not feel the same way."

Tom ignored her statement, knowing that she was right. "Are you going to give me a job or not?"

"Okay," Amelia agreed. "But, I am in charge. You go over my head on anything and you are done immediately. Are we clear?"

"Yes," Tom agreed, holding back the snarky comments that he really wanted to say to ensure that Amelia gave him the job.

"I like in-love Tom," Amelia commented. "So much more agreeable."

The next day, Teddy and Tom drove to the next house on Teddy's list. The house was decent size and modern looking. Tom could tell immediately that Teddy loved it. It had a large kitchen, a walk in closet in both bedrooms, and was only a ten minute drive to the hospital.

"Do you like it?" Teddy asked Tom after seeing the final room of the house.

"It's perfect," Tom assured her.

"I don't think I want to see any of the others," Teddy told him. She rubbed her baby bump "I can picture raising her here."

Teddy told the real estate agent that she wanted to put an offer on the house. Teddy was excited about living there with her beautiful baby girl and maybe Tom one day. She hoped she would hear back from the real estate agent soon.

"How was your day yesterday?" Owen asked Teddy, when she walked into the attendings' lounge the next day.

"Great!" Teddy exclaimed. "I put an offer on a house."

"You did?" Owen asked, slightly irritated.

"Yeah, it's this amazing house just ten minutes away and it has a really big yard for our daughter to play in. I just hope I get it."

Owen had an irritated look on his face that did not go unnoticed by Teddy.

"What's wrong?" Teddy asked.

"I would have liked to have been there," Owen commented.

"Why?"

"God, Teddy. She's my daughter. I think I deserve a say in where she's going to live."

"You have a say," Teddy reminded him. "You have a house that you chose without my input. She's going to be living in both places. And, you don't get a say in where I'm going to live."

Owen sighed. "I'm sorry. I just hate that I won't get to see her everyday. That's why I really think you should move in with me."

"Owen, she's your daughter. You're my best friend. You can always come see her. Even if it's not your day. We're going to figure this all out."

"It would be so much easier though if we lived in the same house," Owen told her. "Please, Teddy. I don't get why you are so opposed to it."

"Seriously?" Teddy asked, slightly annoyed. "You don't understand why I'm opposed to living in the house that you shared with Amelia and your children literally like a week ago?"

"Fine, then how about I move into your new house," Owen suggested.

"Owen, it's not happening. Let it go," Teddy answered, sternly.

"Okay. Fine," Owen agreed, knowing that pushing her harder on this would only push her away. "Well, when you get the house, let me know and I'll help you move in."

"That would be super helpful," Teddy agreed. "And, then we could go shopping for baby stuff?"

"Yes," Owen answered. He pointed a finger at her. "Don't you dare go baby shopping without me."

"I wouldn't dream of it," Teddy replied. Owen pulled Teddy into a hug. Teddy smiled at the thought of their daughter being there soon.

A little while later, Teddy walked into Tom's research lab with a huge smile across her face.

"Lunch?" she asked Tom.

"I think you mean breakfast," Tom chuckled, noticing the time. "It's 9:30."

"It's only 9:30?" Teddy groaned. "I'm so hungry. And, I have something to tell you."

"I'm sure you both have a lot to tell each other," Amelia piped in, remembering that Tom still hadn't told Teddy about his recent job change. Teddy looked confused.

"Let's get you something to eat." Tom lead her out of the lab, hoping that she wouldn't dwell on Amelia's comment. They got Teddy a giant muffin at the cafeteria and Tom sat with her as she ate.

"How is your morning going?" Tom asked.

"I got a call from the real estate agent. We got the house!" Teddy exclaimed.

Tom and Teddy celebrated and talked about the house for a while.

"Oh, and I have a favor to ask you," Teddy started.

"Help you move in?" Tom asked. "I already told you I would."

"No, another favor," Teddy replied. "Although now I feel like I'm asking you for too much."

"Never. What is it?"

"So, there are these birthing classes. And, I was going to go, but needed someone to cover the pit so I got Owen to do it. But, now I don't have a partner for the class. So, would you want to come with me? It's okay if-"

"Yes." Tom cut her off. "Of course, I will go with you."

"Are you sure?" Teddy probed.

"Are you kidding? I wouldn't miss it," Tom promised.

"Okay. They start next week."
