A/N: Thank you all so much for the lovely reviews! Several people have mentioned that Teddy is probably going to end up with Owen on the show and I have to say I agree that they are heading in that direction. Which makes me really sad because I love Teddy and Tom together. Anyway, here's the next chapter.

Owen was excited as he knocked on Teddy's hotel room door. He hated that she was moving into a house without him, but was happy to start shopping for the baby. He would get to spend the whole day with her and hoped that, if they shared enough special moments together, Teddy would realize she still loved him and want to be with him despite everything that had happened between them. His mood immediately changed when Koracick opened the door.

"Oh good, just in time," Tom said. He had promised Teddy to try being cordial with Owen today. "We just finished boxing up the last of her things."

Owen barely replied and followed Tom inside the room. He saw Teddy sitting on the floor, taping closed the last box. Owen extended his hand to her, helping her up off the floor.

"How long did it take to do all this?" Owen asked, looking at how many boxes there were.

"Well most of it was already in boxes because it was sent over from Germany," Teddy explained. Teddy suggested which boxes they should take to the car first and started to pick up a box.

"No!" Tom and Owen both exclaimed. Tom grabbed the box from her and moved it out of her reach.

"Teddy, you're almost eight months pregnant," Owen reminded her.

"I know. That box is really light," Teddy assured them. "I can lift things less than twenty pounds."

"But, why risk it?" Tom asked. "Just let us do it."

"I want to help," Teddy argued.

"Okay," Owen said, trying to think of what she could do to feel useful. "You can help by giving us orders. Tell us how to pack the car. Stuff like that."

"It'll be great," Tom added, sensing that Teddy wanted to help more than by just directing them around. "You love giving orders."

Teddy smiled and rolled her eyes. "Fine. Let's get moving."

Once Owen's and Tom's cars were packed, they drove over to Teddy's new house. Teddy directed them to the rooms that each box belonged to. Teddy started unpacking once most of the boxes had been brought in. By midday, they had brought everything inside.

"The house is really nice," Owen admitted, getting a glass of water while Teddy was unpacking her kitchen supplies. "Our daughter has a walk-in closet!"

"I know! Did you check out the backyard?"

Owen turned around and looked out the window in the kitchen.

"Wow, it's perfect," Owen told her. "We need to get her one of those outdoor playhouses. The ones with a slide and some swings."

"I'll add it to the ever growing list," Teddy told him. "You still want to go shopping or are you too tired?"

"No, I'm good. I still want to."

Teddy smiled.

"Is Tom going to come?" Owen asked, trying to hide his displeasure. Teddy could see right through it and frowned. She really wanted the two of them to get along. She wanted both of them in her life. She wanted both of them in her daughter's life.

"No," Teddy answered. "He is going to stay here for the furniture delivery."

Owen smiled.

"Don't look so upset about it," Teddy joked. "I'm going to go say goodbye. I'll meet you in the car."

Teddy left the kitchen and headed upstairs, where Tom was unpacking some boxes at Teddy's instruction.

"Hey," Teddy greeted. Tom stopped working and Teddy hugged him. "Thank you for all your help today. And, for being friendly with Owen."

"I don't know why you were so worried. I'm always delightful to be around," Tom teased.

"Well, I think that's true," Teddy told him with a little laugh. She kissed him gently. Tom kissed her, his hand moving in circle on her back as he tried to relieve any back pain that she was feeling from carrying around the baby.

After their kiss, Teddy said goodbye and went out to Owen's car. They drove to the mall. They started with the clothing section and Teddy put a lot of clothes into the cart.

"These are the tiniest shoes I have ever seen," Teddy cooed. "We need all of them."

"All of them?" Owen asked.

"Does our baby not deserve all of them?" Teddy asked, trying to guilt trip him.

"Well, we already picked out every baby outfit in the store," Owen pointed out.

"Exactly. So she needs to have options for shoes." Teddy put a pair of each of the shoes into the shopping cart. "Besides, half of this stuff is going to your house, right?"

"She is going to grow out of all this stuff before she can wear all of it," Owen commented.

"Well, I switched up the sizing too," Teddy told him. "Some of it is for when she grows."

"Alright, what's next on the list?"

"Crib," Teddy told him.

"Just so we are clear, she only needs one of those," Owen stated. He was truly enjoying this shopping trip with Teddy. He loved how excited Teddy was. It was mesmerizing to watch her in mom-mode. Teddy clearly wanted what was best for their daughter, no matter the cost.

They picked out a crib, high-chair, and everything else that they could think of that they would need. They had fun picking out all sorts of toys for her. At this point, they couldn't wait to have their baby in their arms.

"You look happy," Tom commented, as he twirled one of Teddy's curls around his finger. Teddy was laying on her side on her brand new couch with her head resting on Tom's lap.

"I am happy," Teddy told him. "I love this house. I love that Owen and I didn't fight once today. I love the stuff I bought for the baby. I love-"

Teddy stopped herself from saying the word 'you' which rested on her lips. She knew she felt it. But, it was so fast. And, she had gotten hurt so many times. She didn't want to let herself get so attached so quickly. But, she had. She was Attachment Barbie after all. At least if he left her now, nobody would know how badly she'd be hurting. As soon as she said 'I love you' she wouldn't be able to pretend like him leaving wouldn't destroy her.

"You love what?" Tom asked, wanting Teddy to finish her sentence.

Teddy smiled. "I love when you play with my hair."

Tom smiled back at her. "And, I love playing with your hair."

Teddy sat up and moved onto Tom's lap, straddling him. She kissed him deeply.

"Will you stay tonight?" Teddy asked him.

"You want me to protect you from the ghosts?" Tom teased, as he rubbed her back.

Teddy smacked him playfully on the shoulder. "That's not funny."

"Relax," he told her, with a laugh. "No ghosts here."

"There better not be," Teddy warned. "You told me this place was perfect."

"It is," Tom assured her, pulling her closer. "It's just fun to watch you squirm."

Tom kissed her again, one hand rubbing her back while the other ran through her hair.

"Just wait until I figure out what you're afraid of," Teddy warned, pulling out of the kiss just enough to talk. "Then, it'll be my turn to torture you."

Tom smiled. "In that case, I am deathly afraid of pregnant women taking advantage of me."

Teddy chuckled before kissing him again. She stood up and extended her hand to Tom who happily took it and followed her to her new bedroom.

Teddy and Tom sat in the lounge the next day while Teddy ate some breakfast.

"Ready for class today?" Tom asked Teddy.

"Oh yeah," Teddy started, sarcastically. "I'm excited to hear about how much child labor sucks."

"Come on. It'll be fun," Tom encouraged. "We get to judge all of the other parents."

"That will be surprisingly satisfying," Teddy admitted with a smile. Tom stood up to get coffee.

"Will you get me coffee too?" Teddy asked.

"Didn't you have one this morning?" Tom asked.

"No," Teddy promised. "I bought that cup but only took a sip before I was paged."

Tom started pouring their coffees when Owen walked in.

"Hey, good news," Owen started. "I can make it to the birthing class today."

"I thought you were covering the ER for me," Teddy commented. "You know, so I could attend."

"Webber's got it," Owen explained. "But, if you'd rather I didn't go-"

"No, it's fine," Teddy assured him. "It's great."

"I'm going to go check on my post-ops and I'll meet you up there."

Owen ran off and Teddy looked up at Tom who handed her a cup of coffee.

"I should have told him you were coming too," Teddy realized. She was happy that Owen wanted to go but wasn't sure how he'd feel about Tom going with them.

"It's fine. It's better than fine. It was secretly what I was hoping for all along. I think he and I are about this close," Tom indicated a small space with his fingers, "to becoming besties."

Teddy laughed. "You're joking, but it's what I'm rooting for."

Tom smiled. "I need to go change into my supportive boyfriend clothes. You good here?"

"Yeah, I'll meet you up there," Teddy told him, with a laugh.

Later, Teddy went up to where the hospital was hosting the birthing class and found both Tom and Owen waiting for her. She could immediately tell that Owen was uncomfortable about having Tom there. He obviously wanted their daughter's birth to be something between the two of them. But, Teddy felt comfortable with Tom and wanted him there. Owen was going to be there for the baby but she wanted someone who would be there for her too.

"Oh good, you're here," Owen greeted.

"People were starting to look at us funny," Tom told her.

They sat down and listened as the instructor talked about relaxation techniques. The instructor began walking the class through a progressive muscle relaxation method. Teddy started following the teacher's directions.

"We seriously need to talk after this," Owen whispered to her. He couldn't believe that Teddy still wanted Tom in the delivery room. "I want it to just be you and me in the room, not some guy that you've known for a few months and won't be in her life forever."

"I can hear you, Hunt," Tom whispered back, angrily. "Who the hell are you to tell Teddy that I'm not going to stick around? You don't even know me."

"Guys, stop," Teddy pleaded. They both stopped talking for a moment.

Owen continued with Tom a minute later. "I mean, when was the last time you had a relationship last more than, I don't know, an hour? This has to be a record for you."

"Well, I already beat your record of being with her," Tom replied.

"This is all just some big game to you, isn't it?" Owen asked, now raising his voice. Other couples could hear the argument and were now staring at the three of them.

"Stop it!" Teddy yelled, standing up. Teddy turned red as she noticed that everyone was staring. "This was supposed to be relaxing!"

Teddy stormed out of the class, tears in her eyes. She found the nearest on-call room and laid down on the bed. She cried into the pillow. This whole situation sucked. She was terrified of giving birth soon and had been looking forward to these classes to ease her mind. All she wanted was for Owen and Tom to put their differences aside and focus on making this experience less painful and scary for her. Not to mention that this fighting was also giving her a glimpse of a future with her daughter that she desperately wanted to avoid. She could envision Owen and Tom fighting in front of her daughter and upsetting her. She just wanted her daughter to be surrounded by people who loved her and who weren't constantly questioning each others' roles in her life. Clearly it was wishful thinking.

Teddy wiped away her tears and walked out of the on-call room. Tom and Owen were waiting for her.

"Teddy," they both said, walking with her as she marched down the hallway angrily.

"Go away," she insisted.

"We're sorry," Tom told her.

"Yeah, please come back to the class with us," Owen pleaded. Teddy stopped and glared at them.

"No," Teddy said firmly. "I'll go back tomorrow. But, not with you guys."

"We won't fight," Owen promised. "We need to be there so we can actually be helpful to you in the delivery room."

"Right now, I don't want you in the delivery room," Teddy snapped. She looked between the two men. "Either of you."

Owen and Tom were silent as Teddy walked away.

Teddy spent the next two days ignoring Owen and Tom as best she could. She knew she couldn't forever. She and Owen had an ultrasound today that she knew he wouldn't miss.

"Hey," he greeted, as he entered the exam room.

"Hi," Teddy said coldly.

"Still mad?" Owen asked. Teddy glared at him. "I'll take that as a yes."

The OB walked in a few seconds later and did the ultrasound. Teddy and Owen watched the screen in awe of their little girl. Everything looked normal. The OB left the room and Teddy got up from the table and tried to walk to the door.

"Teddy, can we please talk? I don't want to fight anymore. I want everything to be solved by the time she gets here," Owen suggested.

Teddy sighed. "Me too."

"I'm sorry I fought with Koracick."

"He's a good guy, Owen," Teddy told him. "He puts up a front but he is really good to me. He's good to our daughter."

"Okay," Owen said, not entirely convinced. "Fine. But, does he really need to be in the delivery room?"

Teddy shrugged shyly. "I-I'd kind of like him there."

"Why?" Owen asked, being sure to keep his voice calm despite how angry he was.

"Because I need someone to be there for me," Teddy explained.

"I'll be there for you," Owen insisted.

"Owen, you're there for the baby," Teddy said, tears forming in her eyes.

"For both of you." Owen took a step towards Teddy and placed one hand on her shoulder and one on her stomach. "Teddy, we're a family."

"Owen," she whispered. She could see in his eyes that he wanted to try again to be with her. To have the perfect family that he always wanted. She wasn't sure what to say but luckily the door opened before she could respond.

Tom walked through the door. He had been looking for Teddy and knew she had an appointment today. He hadn't thought he'd find Owen and Teddy in the middle of what seemed like they were having a moment.

"Well this is cozy," he commented, sarcastically. Owen stepped back from Teddy and Teddy wiped away tears from the corner of her eyes.

"Did everything go okay?" Tom asked.

"Oh, yeah, she's completely healthy," Teddy answered. Owen and Tom were both staring at her, as if waiting for answers. The tension in the room was thick and Teddy felt like she was having a hard time breathing. She was happy when her pager went off.

"I've gotta go," she told them, before walking out of the room as quickly as possible.

Tom stared at Owen, knowing full well what his intentions with Teddy were. He and Amelia had ended things. And, Owen doesn't stay single for long. Hunt walked to the door to leave but Tom spoke up.

"Look, Hunt, I know you don't like me. Trust me, I'm not losing sleep over it." Tom started, getting Owen's attention. "But, if you plan to make a play here, if you're going to show up with a ring, and take advantage of the very old pain and vulnerability of a woman you have over and over again hurt and abandoned, please rethink that. Because, I will not lie down. And, I will not walk away. I'll fight for her. And, that will bring on a whole lot of drama and pain for the woman you claim you just want to be happy."

Owen stood in shock at Tom's words. He couldn't believe this guy would talk to him like that. He didn't know the first thing about him and Teddy.

"You don't know anything about my history with Teddy," Owen defended.

"Your history with Teddy is that you chose Amelia. More than once," Tom reminded him. "My history is, I love Teddy. I'm in love with her. And, only her. And, she deserves to be with someone for whom she is the first and the only choice."

Owen wasn't sure how to respond to that and let Tom walk away instead. Sure, he had made mistakes with Teddy. But, he was determined to fix those mistakes. His love for Teddy had been present for years. Hearing that Tom was in love with her made him jealous. Tom was right. He wanted Teddy to be happy. And, he didn't want to cause her any pain. But, was it really right for him to back off if she might still have those feelings for him?

A/N: Hope you enjoyed this chapter. Please review!
