A/N: A much longer chapter for all of you! Thank you so much to everyone who has been reading, especially those who have reviewed.
Owen and Teddy were discussing patients in the ER when Owen got a text from Meredith.
"Oh no," Owen said, looking at the text from Meredith saying that his sister was at the hospital. Things had been so hectic the past few months that he had actually forgotten to tell his sister about the situation. She was going to be so pissed.
"What?" Teddy asked, trying to figure out why Owen was now muttering to himself. All of a sudden, she heard a familiar voice from down the hall.
"What is wrong with you?" Megan yelled. Teddy turned around, realizing that it was Megan, and realized that Owen must not have told her about the baby based on her angry expression.
"Megan, before you get started-" Owen began.
Megan interrupted. "Why didn't you tell me that you two had finally gotten together?"
Owen and Teddy exchanged a look. They dreaded having to tell her about their situation. It was more than a little complicated and Megan had always dreamed that they'd be together. Telling her that it wasn't true would break her heart.
"And, we're having a baby!" Megan exclaimed, now jumping up and down with excitement. She pulled the two of them into a hug.
Teddy and Owen broke the hug, trying to get her attention.
"Um," Teddy said, not so confidently.
"What?" Megan asked, the excitement from her face draining.
Teddy and Owen looked at each other, trying to figure out where to start and who should be the one to explain.
"Why don't we go in here?" Owen suggested, pulling them into a room so they could talk a little more privately.
"Someone better start telling me what's going on," Megan warned.
"We are having a baby," Owen said.
"But, we're not together," Teddy finished. Megan's angry face returned and she crossed her arms, waiting for more answers.
"I went to Germany eight months ago," Owen explained. "And, we were together."
Owen looked at Teddy, hoping she'd pitch in.
"But, we had a fight," Teddy said, not wanting to go into all of the details. "And, Owen came back to Seattle."
"A fight? A fight about what?" Megan asked.
Teddy and Owen looked at each other again.
"I had been with Amelia a day earlier. She's the one who made me realize that I wanted to be with Teddy." Owen told her.
"But, he didn't really want to be with me," Teddy explained.
"Yes, I did," Owen argued.
Teddy rolled her eyes. "Yeah, except you came back here and started a family with Amelia."
Megan didn't say a word but she was clearly confused and angry.
"It's not like I just went back to Amelia," Owen argued. "I got Leo and then there was Betty. Amelia was helping her and it just progressed into something more."
"Anyway, they were back together three months later when I came here to tell him I was pregnant," Teddy added to the story.
"And, Teddy kept it a secret for an entire month after coming here rather than telling me before things with Amelia got too serious," Owen blamed.
"Got too serious? You were raising two kids together," Teddy reminded him. Owen had no response. Megan still stood there silently.
"The important thing is that we're good now. We're friends again. And, Owen gave me his job so I'm not going back to Germany. And, we're having a baby girl," Teddy said, trying to lighten the tension.
Teddy and Owen nodded as if to say that they were done with their story. Megan continued to stare at them. Owen and Teddy stared back for a few minutes, just waiting for Megan to say something.
"Megan?" Owen asked. "Just making sure you're okay."
Megan made a face at them showing her confusion.
"She's okay," Teddy insisted. "She's processing. Right? You're processing. It's a lot to process."
Megan nodded as Teddy talked. "Yeah. Yeah, it's a lot. It's just so much stupidity that my brain is struggling to take it all in."
Megan was staring at Owen now.
"Okay, Megan. Come on," Owen said, trying to calm her down. He could tell she was about to yell at him.
"I mean, so much stupidity!" Megan yelled. Teddy stood back and watched Owen getting yelled at. She couldn't say that she disagreed with Megan's analysis. "You went to Germany for one night, knocked her up, and then screwed it up so badly that you gave her your job instead of a ring? You dumb-dumb!"
"You're calling me dumb-dumb? Are we six?" Owen asked.
"No, Owen, we are stone cold adults but what you did here was so stupid that the word idiot felt too sophisticated, so yes, I'm sticking with dumb-dumb!"
"Could you?" Owen asked Teddy, looking for backup.
"Well, I kind of want to defend you but," Teddy stammered. But, Megan was completely right. She couldn't say that though. She and Owen were finally friends again. "But, it never goes well when I get in between you and Megan."
"She's lying," Megan countered, calling her out on her lie. "That's a lie. She doesn't want to defend you, Owen. She wants to call you something way worse than dumb-dumb!"
"For the record, this is exactly why I didn't tell you," Owen said.
"No, it was your own deep-seeded shame," Megan suggested.
"Oh, so you're a shrink now?" Owen asked.
Teddy sighed. This argument could go on for hours between them. Then, Tom walked into the room and Teddy grimaced not wanting to have to disappoint Megan even more by telling her she was dating someone else.
"Altman, I got you a chocolate chip muffin for your mid-morning snack," Tom told her.
"Thanks. I'll eat later," Teddy said quickly, hoping that he would leave before Megan could ask questions.
"Is he like your personal assistant or something?" Megan asked.
Tom laughed. "In a way, yes."
Megan looked at Teddy questioningly.
"He-he's my boyfriend," Teddy stated, nervously. "Megan, this is Tom. Tom, this is Megan. Megan Hunt."
Megan and Tom shook hands. Megan was clearly angry all over again.
"Dumb-dumb," she muttered.
"What?" Tom asked, unsure of whether he heard her correctly.
"Not you," she assured him. She tossed Owen a look, indicating that the insult was still directed at him. She walked angrily out of the room.
"She seems pleasant," Tom said, sarcastically.
Teddy smacked Owen's arm. "What the hell, Owen? You didn't tell your sister?"
"Haven't I been yelled at enough for one day?" Owen asked.
"Do you actually think she's done yelling?" Teddy challenged.
Owen sighed. "I'm sorry I didn't tell her."
"You told your mom at least, right?" Teddy asked. Owen's face confirmed for Teddy that he didn't. "Seriously? Go call her right now! Before Megan does."
Teddy grabbed Tom's hand and walked out of the room. Teddy sat down with Tom to eat the muffin he brought her.
"Thank you for the muffin," Teddy said with a smile. "And, I'm sorry about that. It was uncomfortable."
"Yeah, I don't think Owen's sister liked me very much."
"It's not you. She just has always had it in her head that Owen and I would be together. And, when she got here and saw I was pregnant, she let herself get excited thinking that it was finally happening. She'll like you when she gets to know you."
"I have to get to know her?" Tom complained. "Isn't one Hunt enough?"
Teddy's face dropped.
"Sorry. But, I don't get why I have to get to know Owen's sister. She's his family. Not yours," Tom pointed out.
"Owen's family is my family," Teddy explained. "Or at least the closest thing I have to one."
Tom waited for Teddy to continue. He wasn't thrilled that being with Teddy required him to get to know Owen's family. They would hate him before they even met him. Megan already didn't like him. They would just be rooting for him and Teddy to break up.
"When we had our first break from Iraq, Megan was the one who realized that I was the only one not excited to go home. Because I didn't have anyone to go home to. She invited me to stay with them at their mom's house. And, they took me in. They forced me to be a part of their family no matter how many times I convinced myself that I was just being a burden. And now, they're her family too." Teddy rubbed her stomach. "It matters to me what they think of you."
"And, if they don't like me?" Tom asked.
"They'll have you killed." Teddy smiled and grabbed Tom's hand.
"See, you're joking, but I'm nervous because I greatly value my life," Tom responded.
"Well, I think you're safe. Because I like you way too much to let them kill you," Teddy assured him.
"If you really liked me, you wouldn't make me befriend the entire Hunt family," Tom teased.
Teddy smiled and shrugged. "I guess I don't like you that much then."
Teddy gave Tom a quick kiss, before getting up and heading back to work. From across the room, Megan had been watching Tom and Teddy laughing, smiling, and kissing. She thought Teddy looked happy, but she knew the truth. Teddy would always be in love with Owen. She just needed to help Teddy realize it.
"Pizza tonight," Megan offered, catching up with Teddy on her way back to the ER. "On me."
"Um okay," Teddy agreed. "You're not still mad?"
"Not at you," Megan clarified, meaning that she was still upset with Owen.
"Cut Owen some slack, Megan," Teddy told her. "He already knows he messed up. And, we've moved past it."
"If you say so," Megan agreed, unenthusiastically. Teddy got back to work after confirming that she would have dinner with Megan that night, just the two of them.
Owen sat with his hand clenched around the phone as he prepared himself to call his mom. He did not want anymore lectures. He knew he messed everything up with Teddy. He didn't need everyone reminding him of that.
"Hi mom," Owen said, when his mom answered the phone.
"Owen," Evelyn said, surprised to hear from him, as it had been a while since she had last spoken to him. "Is everything okay with Leo?"
"Leo is great," Owen told her. "I actually adopted him a few weeks ago."
"Oh my god. I'm a grandmother?" she asked.
"Yeah," Owen said. "And, you're about to have another. A granddaughter."
"Amelia is pregnant?" Evelyn asked. Last time she checked, they were just raising Leo and Betty together. It seemed inevitable that they would end up back together.
"No, mom," Owen confessed. "Teddy's pregnant."
There was silence on the other end of the phone.
"Mom? Are you still there?"
"I'm here, Owen." Owen could hear in her voice that she was crying.
"Are you okay?"
"Teddy's having your baby?" Evelyn asked. Owen confirmed. "This is the best news! Can I talk to her? Is she there?"
"No, she's working," Owen told her. "Mom, you should know, Teddy and I - well, we aren't together."
"What do you mean? I mean, you had to be together recently to make a baby."
"Teddy is 38 weeks pregnant," Owen clarified. Saying that number out loud felt strange. Only two weeks until the due date. Owen explained the situation to his mom. Everything from Germany, to raising kids with Amelia, to Teddy telling him about the baby in the OR, to him choosing to stay with Amelia, to him and Amelia breaking up, to him wanting to make things work with Teddy but that it may be too late. Owen was happy that his mom did not yell at him or judge any of the decisions he had made. It felt nice to have someone on his side.
"I don't know what to do now, mom," Owen admitted. "I'm afraid that if I tell Teddy how I feel about her that she won't feel the same and things will be uncomfortable between us again."
"Well, before you go professing your love for Teddy again," Evelyn started. "Let's make sure that this is what you want."
"It is," Owen assured her.
"Okay. Then, why choose Amelia when Teddy told you she was pregnant?"
"Teddy said we were off the table," Owen said. "And, I had Betty and Leo with Amelia."
"What if Teddy had said she wanted to be together back then? Who would you have chosen?"
Owen considered this for a moment. "I guess, Amelia still."
"Why?"
"Because we were happy," Owen said. "I loved her. I loved the family we built together."
"And, at what point did you decide that you wanted to be with Teddy instead?"
"When Amelia and I lost the kids. And, when I saw Teddy and Koracick start dating. I was jealous."
"Were you jealous that Teddy was with him? Or were you jealous that he was spending so much time around your child?"
"Both," Owen said. "I don't want my daughter thinking that that he is her father. But, seeing how happy he and Teddy are also drives me crazy."
"Maybe seeing them happy together made you jealous because you and Amelia were so unhappy by the time you broke up? Maybe you were upset because you had no one to fall back on when things with Amelia went south?"
"What are you saying?" Owen asked. "That I don't love Teddy? Because I do. I want to be with her. That one day in Germany was perfect until she found out about Amelia. Not complicated or crazy. No drama. It was just easy. I didn't have to question how she was feeling. We just work together."
"Owen, listen to yourself," Evelyn said. "You love her because you know she will always love you back. You wouldn't have to work hard to make her love you. It's easy. You went to Teddy in Germany because you knew she wouldn't turn you down. That she would love you and you could live with no complications. You chose her because you were sick of being in confusing relationships that were a lot of work. Christina and then Amelia. You love Teddy as a friend. And, seeing her with her new boyfriend makes you upset that you don't have her to fall back on now that you and Amelia are over. You're jealous that she gets to have a happy relationship with someone who loves her while you are alone."
"That's not true," Owen said, getting angry. "I want us to be a family. Me, Teddy, Leo, and our daughter. I want it."
"I know you do," Evelyn told him. "But, not because you are in love with Teddy. If Teddy wasn't carrying your child, would you want to be with her?"
Owen thought for a minute. But knew that the answer was no. He wanted to love Teddy. He wanted to have a happy family with her. But, his mom was right that his feelings for Teddy always resurfaced when he wanted an easier relationship.
"Just think hard before you go messing with her feelings again," Evelyn warned.
"Thanks mom," Owen said, feeling defeated by their conversation. "Hey, do you want to come to dinner tomorrow night? Megan is here for a patient for a few days. I'm sure Teddy would love to see you."
"That would be great," Evelyn agreed.
"I'm glad we got the extra large," Megan said, realizing that they had finished off the entire pizza. They had brought the pizza to Teddy's house and were eating on the couch.
"I told you that your niece makes me super hungry," Teddy replied, rubbing her stomach.
"I can't believe I'm going to be an aunt," Megan cooed. "Can I see her room?"
Megan followed Teddy upstairs to the baby's bedroom. Teddy opened up the door. It was painted purple and had all of the baby's furniture set up inside. There were pictures of animals on the wall and Megan was so excited to see look at everything.
"Oh, this is the prettiest baby blanket I have ever seen," Megan said, touching the soft blanket inside the crib.
"Tom got that for her," Teddy told her with a smile. Megan's eyes widened and she put the blanket back.
"Can we talk about that now?" Megan asked.
"I have a feeling you're going to no matter what my answer is," Teddy rationalized.
"True," Megan replied. "Teddy, you love Owen. You have always loved Owen. What's going on with this Tom guy?"
"Owen and I are done, Megan," Teddy insisted. "I really like Tom. He's amazing."
"I'm sure he's lovely. But, he's not my brother. You can't seriously tell me that you don't still have feelings for Owen."
"I am always going to have feelings for Owen," Teddy admitted.
"Then, stop all the games and just be with him," Megan begged her.
"I'm not playing games," Teddy assured her. "Look, you're right. I have always loved him. And, I've realized that in that time, I spent so much time dreaming of what it would be like for us to be together that I created something in my head that isn't Owen."
"Meaning?"
"Meaning that the life I created in my head of me and Owen finally being together, it wouldn't actually be like that. I realize that now. I want something so much different. When I was with Henry, I completely forgot about my feelings for Owen because I found someone who made me feel special and excited. The way I felt about Henry - that was love. That's not what I feel when I'm with Owen. It's just longing. Not love."
"And, with Tom?" Megan asked. "Is it love?"
Teddy smiled and shrugged shyly. "I think so."
Megan's tough demeanor broke into a smile. As much as she wanted Teddy and Owen to be together, it was nice to see Teddy happy.
"And, you don't think you might regret not letting it play out with Owen? I mean, if you and Tom were to break up, would you wish that you had been with Owen instead?"
"No," Teddy assured her with no hesitation. "If Tom and I weren't together right now, I'll admit it would be hard to resist going back to Owen. Because I'm carrying his child. I want the perfect family. Of course, I want that. And we'd be happy. But, I wouldn't be in love. Not like I am with Tom."
Megan sighed and pulled Teddy into a hug. "I love you, Teddy. I'm happy that you're happy. Even if it's not with Owen."
"Thank you," Teddy replied.
"You should bring Tom to dinner tomorrow so we can meet him," Megan suggested. "This time with less hostility."
"Oh yeah, do I have to come to that? Do you know how hard it is to even get my shoes on, nevermind leave my house?"
"Well, of course you have to," Megan answered. "We could always come to your house instead of Owen's, if you'd prefer."
"Yeah, actually, that would help a lot," Teddy agreed.
"Yay!" Megan exclaimed. "And, Tom will be there?"
"I will invite him," Teddy said.
"I can't," Tom told Teddy the next day when she asked if he could come to dinner.
"Please," Teddy begged. "I know it's awkward. But, it will just keep getting more awkward through the years if you don't come tonight."
"As appealing as that sounds, I really can't," Tom said, closing his patient's chart. Amelia has asked him to cover her shift because she was in New York working on a patient. Although his contract with Hopkins hadn't ended yet and his new contract with Grey-Sloan hadn't started yet, he knew better than to argue with Amelia or she wouldn't hire him once his contract ended.
Teddy pulled Tom into an on-call room.
"Please," Teddy begged again. "I'll make it up to you."
She tried moving in close to him but was stopped by her stomach which was in the way. She made a disappointed face at Tom, upset that she couldn't get any closer to him.
"I can't wait until I'm skinny again," Teddy complained.
"Why? I think it's cute that you're wearing two different shoes," Tom told her. Teddy looked down and strained her neck to see if he was joking. He wasn't.
"Oh my God," Teddy said, embarrassed. "I've been walking around the hospital all day like this."
"So cute," Tom assured her.
He leaned over and kissed her gently.
"Does that mean you'll come tonight?" Teddy asked, breaking away from their kiss.
"I can't. I have to work," Tom told her.
"Terrible excuse because you make your own hours," Teddy pointed out.
"I told Amelia, I'd cover for her," Tom responded.
"Well, tell her something came up," Teddy offered.
"I'm trying to get on her good side," Tom explained. Teddy looked at him, confused. He took her by the hand and sat her down on the bed. "Remember when I came back from Hopkins last time earlier than expected?"
"Yeah, and you said you quit," Teddy laughed.
"Teddy, I actually did quit," Tom told her.
Teddy's mouth dropped slightly in surprise. "Why? What happened?"
"They asked me to go back full-time," Tom admitted. "I said no."
"Why would you do that?" Teddy asked, still feeling shocked. "That was the perfect job. And, now what? You work for Amelia? Why would you quit? That job was everything."
"No," Tom said, cutting her off before she could ramble on more. "This is everything to me. You are everything to me."
"I-I don't know what to say," Teddy stammered. "I didn't want you to quit your job for me. You shouldn't have to give that up. I don't want to you to resent me."
"Resent you?" Tom questioned. "Teddy, I love you. I'm in love with you."
Teddy kissed him passionately. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. She had found a man who loved her and would make sacrifices for her and made her unbelievably happy. Tom could feel Teddy smiling through their kiss. She couldn't help smiling and laughing as she pulled away.
"I love you too," she told him. "I love you so much."
They kissed again, neither of them wanting to end this perfect moment. But, eventually Tom had to get back to work. Tom agreed that he would come to family night with the Hunts after he got off work around seven. They both left the room with big smiles on their faces.
Owen arrived at Teddy's house for dinner with Leo in his arms.
"Hi, Leo!" Teddy greeted.
"Hey, I'm here too," Owen said, feigning offense but was really just happy that Teddy was warming up to Leo. Teddy hugged him.
"Thanks for coming here instead," Teddy said, as they walked further into the house. "It's so tiring going places."
"Of course," Owen said, sitting on her couch. Teddy sat next to him and Owen couldn't help but notice that she seemed to be in an extra good mood. "You look happy."
"Yeah," Teddy confirmed. "I really am."
"Teddy, I think I owe you an apology," Owen said. "Several actually."
"I'm not keeping tabs, Owen," Teddy told him. "I think we're good."
"I know but you've forgiven me for so much without a single apology or explanation."
"I don't need one," Teddy assured him. "You're my best friend. We forgive each other. No matter what. That's the rule."
"I don't want to upset you by bringing up the past but I just have a lot to say," Owen said.
"I love Tom," Teddy blurted out. Owen looked at her confused. "I'm not stupid, Owen. Since the minute that you and Amelia broke up, you have been looking at me like you want something to happen between us. And, before you say whatever it is you're about to say that could potentially make things weird between us again, you should know that I don't feel that way about you anymore. I love Tom."
"I don't feel that way either. You're right that I thought I wanted this after Amelia and I broke up. But, I realized that I just loved the idea of us. I loved the idea of us raising our child together and being happily married. I loved that same idea when I chose Amelia. And, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry for choosing you in Germany. I was there for all the wrong reasons, just like you told me."
"Owen, it's okay. We wouldn't be having our baby if you hadn't come to Germany," Teddy told him. "Wrong reasons or not, I don't regret that day."
"Me neither," Owen agreed, touching her stomach. "I love you, Teddy. You're my best friend."
"Love you too, Hunt," Teddy replied, giving him a hug. It was nice to finally be on the same page with their feelings for each other.
For a few minutes, they played with Leo with a ball until Megan and Evelyn arrived. Teddy let them inside.
"Oh, Teddy, you look beautiful!" Evelyn exclaimed, giving her a hug. "You're glowing."
"Thank you," Teddy responded.
"Where's the guy?" Megan asked, referring to Tom.
"He has to work until seven," Teddy explained. "He'll be here for dessert."
"Good," Megan replied. "We have to interrogate him. Make sure he's good enough for you."
Teddy laughed. "Trust me. I don't even deserve him."
Owen rolled his eyes. He still didn't like Koracick even though he had figured out his feelings for Teddy.
The four of them and Leo sat down to eat. They talked and laughed about a variety of topics and reminisced about old memories together.
"So, have you discussed baby names yet?" Evelyn asked. Owen and Teddy looked at each other.
"We haven't really talked about it," Owen admitted.
"Yeah, there's still plenty of time for that," Teddy added.
"Plenty of time? You look like you're ready to pop," Evelyn pointed out. They all laughed.
"I am partial to Megan," Megan said. "I think she'd be lucky to share her name with her favorite aunt."
"Nice try," Owen said. He looked at Teddy. "I think we both know what we're going to name her."
"We do?" Teddy asked. "Was I part of that conversation?"
"You used to tell me all the time that if you ever had a daughter, you would name her after Allison," Owen reminded her.
Teddy smiled and tears formed in her eyes, as she remembered her best friend who had died in the towers. "You would be okay with that?"
"Absolutely," Owen agreed. Owen placed his hand on her stomach. "Allison Altman-Hunt."
As Owen moved his hand away, Teddy could feel her daughter moving. It was an uncomfortable movement but Teddy didn't mind. She just rubbed her bump gently. Allison. She couldn't wait to meet her baby girl.
They continued to talk at dinner and Evelyn and Megan couldn't help but ask Teddy for details about Tom.
"How did you meet?" they asked.
"Well, I recognized him from the halls but one day he came and introduced himself with a plate of fries which he then fed to me because I had been massaging my feet," Teddy explained.
"Does he have kids?" Megan asked.
Teddy could feel Allison move again and rubbed again to calm her. "He did. He actually lost his ten year old son a while ago."
"What happened?" Owen asked. After Tom had punched him at the party for Catherine Fox, Teddy had said that Tom was a father. He hadn't known what that meant but never cared enough to figure it out. Now, he understood.
"He was hit in the head with a baseball bat. It was an accident at school," Teddy explained. She felt Allison moving again. It wasn't painful but definitely annoying and uncomfortable.
"That's awful," Evelyn said. "Losing a child is the most painful thing."
Evelyn reached out and held Megan's hand, happy that she had gotten her baby back after years of assuming she was dead.
After they finished eating, they moved to the couch and started playing cards. Teddy sat with Leo next to her, as if he was helping her with her hand.
"Leo, which card should I get rid of?" she asked. She showed the cards to Leo and he pointed to one of them. She removed it from her cards and handed it to Leo who was reaching desperately for the card. She handed it to him and rubbed his head as he inspected the card. She felt Allison stir again and readjusted her position on the couch, trying to make her daughter comfortable.
After their game, Tom knocked at the door. Teddy was nervous for Tom to meet the other Hunts considering his history with Owen. But, so far, they seemed to approve of him.
"I'll get it!" Megan yelled, running to the door, knowing that Teddy couldn't beat her.
"Hi Tom," Megan said as she opened the door. "Good to see you again."
"You seem much more relaxed now," Tom pointed out.
"Yeah, I'm sorry about that," Megan apologized. She looked down and saw a box in his hands. "What's that?"
"Chocolate cream pie," Tom answered.
"Yum," Megan said, taking the box from him and going to the kitchen to put the pie in the fridge.
"And, I'm Evelyn," Evelyn greeted. "Owen and Megan's mom."
"It's nice to meet you," Tom responded. Tom walked inside and saw Teddy sitting on the couch next to Leo.
"I don't get a hello from you?" Tom asked playfully, kissing the top of Teddy's head.
"I couldn't get up," Teddy admitted. "I'm stuck."
"Well, all the more pie for everyone else," Tom teased. Evelyn, Megan, and Owen were in the kitchen cutting the pie.
"Wait, help me up, please," Teddy asked. Tom reached out his hand and helped Teddy stand. Teddy stood and instantly clutched her stomach as she felt Allison moving again.
"Hey, you okay?" Tom asked, noticing Teddy grimace.
"Yeah, she's just been moving like crazy tonight," Teddy told him.
"She probably is sick of waiting for pie," Tom joked. They went into the kitchen with Leo and got a slice of pie.
"So, Tom, you're Head of Neuro at Hopkins?" Megan asked. She had looked him up after finding out about him and Teddy. She had to admit she was worried about his job on the other side of the country. The last thing Teddy needed was to have the man she was in love with move away.
"Only for another month," Tom told them. "Then, I start full-time at Grey-Sloan."
"I thought Amelia was Head of Neuro," Evelyn said.
"Yeah, I thought so too," Owen agreed, defensively.
"She is. I'm just taking an attending position," Tom explained.
"Seriously?" Owen asked.
"Yeah," Tom answered. He put his hand on Teddy's shoulder and gave it a loving rub. "I wanted to be here."
Megan looked over at Teddy who was smiling and gave Teddy an approving look.
After they finished dessert, they went back to playing card games. When they played poker, they found that Tom continuously had the best hands.
"How are you doing that? Are you cheating?" Teddy asked, when he was able to beat her four of a kind hand with a straight flush. She rubbed her stomach again as Allison moved more.
"I've always been lucky with cards," Tom said. "Sorry."
"Do you play a lot of poker?" Evelyn asked.
"Not much anymore. But, it was my son's favorite card game. I used to have to cheat just to let him win because I always get dealt good hands," Tom told them.
The five of them were enjoying their night. Leo started getting cranky as it got later and Owen carried him upstairs and got him situated in Allison's crib. Eventually Megan and Evelyn left for the night, saying goodbye to Teddy, Tom, and Owen.
"I'm going to go use the bathroom," Teddy told them once they had left. "Don't clean up everything without me. I'll be right back."
Tom and Owen ignored her and started cleaning up anyway as Teddy went upstairs. She rubbed her bump again as the baby was moving around again. Once in the bathroom, Teddy felt a popping sensation and a stream of fluid soaked her pants.
Teddy immediately panicked. Her water had broken. She was excited and nervous all at the same time. She told herself to stay calm, as she hadn't started having contractions and it could still be hours before anything happens. This thought was immediately put to rest when she felt a strong contraction, causing her to grip onto the side of the counter and scream in pain.
A/N: Please review! To those of you who were looking for a Towen love story, you won't find it in this fic. Sorry! In my defense, I did warn that this was Toddy relationship in the description.
