A/N: Hey everyone! Thanks again for reading and especially to those of you who reviewed. Here comes the baby!

From downstairs, Owen and Tom heard Teddy scream and immediately ran upstairs to check on her.

"Are you okay?" they asked, barging into the bathroom. Teddy was still gripping the counter tightly.

"My…water...broke," she managed to get out. This contraction was long and didn't seem to be letting up. Tom and Owen looked at each other. Tom rubbed her back as she rode out the contraction.

"How far apart are contractions?" Owen asked, as Teddy's contraction seemed to be stopping.

"That was the first," Teddy said after a few seconds. Teddy exhaled still trying to come to terms with the how intense the contraction was considering it was just the first.

Teddy keeled over in pain again as another contraction hit. All three of them were surprised at how close together they were. Just over a minute.

"Let's get you to the hospital," Owen said. He turned to Tom. "I'll get her bag. Help her get to the car."

After that contraction settled down, Teddy was able to walk only as far as her bed before another one hit. Tom grabbed hold of her hand and let her squeeze it hard. She was screaming in pain and sat down at the edge of the bed.

"I'm not going to make it to the hospital," Teddy told Tom through clenched teeth.

"Of course you are," Tom told her, not entirely convinced that was true but not wanting Teddy to panic.

"Come on. We've got to go," Owen urged, carrying the bag she had packed a few weeks ago.

"I already feel like I need to push," Teddy told them, shaking her head. "We're not going to the hospital."

Teddy was hit with another contraction. Tom and Owen looked at each other and silently agreed that they were going to do this here. Owen ran to grab supplies. Tom helped Teddy take her pants off as Teddy was hit with another contraction.

"You're at ten centimeters," Tom told her. Owen came back in the room. "She's ready to push."

"I'll deliver," Owen suggested. "You hold her hand."

Tom moved onto the bed next to Teddy. He moved pillows around to help prop Teddy up slightly before taking hold of her hand. She immediately gripped it hard, trying to take away the intense pain she was feeling from these contractions that just wouldn't end. Tom used his other hand to brush her hair out of her face which was damp with sweat.

"Breathe," he instructed, noticing that she was still clenching her teeth in pain rather than breathing through it. Teddy let out a breath and felt only slightly better.

"Okay, Teddy," Owen said, after getting prepared. "I'm ready. You can push whenever you're ready."

Teddy began pushing. She considered herself to have a high tolerance for pain but this was too much. Her contractions had come on so quickly. She realized now that the uncomfortable feelings she had had earlier in the night were probably contractions. But, they had been extremely mild. And, now they were intense and never-ending. She was happy that they were all doctors. Otherwise she'd be terrified of giving birth at home. She still was nervous about it since it was so rushed and was also worried that something would be wrong with the baby.

"I see her head," Teddy heard Owen say. "Almost there, Teddy."

Both he and Tom were giving her words of encouragement but she could barely hear them through the pain. She pushed harder and harder until she finally felt some relief. She looked down and saw Owen holding their girl. Teddy sighed in relief until she realized she didn't hear crying.

"Is she okay?" Teddy asked, frantically. "She's not crying."

A second later the baby let out a high-pitched wail and Teddy thought it was the most relieving sound. She let herself lay back and relax for a minute while Owen cut the umbilical cord and wrapped Allison in a blanket.

"You did great," Tom whispered to her, covering her lower body with a towel.

Owen looked down at his adorable baby girl with a tuft of strawberry blonde hair. She was so little and perfect. A miracle. He felt excited that he was the first to hold her. Not even another doctor got to hold her first. It was all him. After wrapping her up, he held her in his arms, not even wanting to give Teddy a turn because he loved this little girl so much already.

"My turn," Teddy pleaded, still exhausted. Owen relented and handed her their daughter and sat next to her on the opposite side as Tom.

Teddy held onto her daughter. She was beautiful. The perfect mix of her and Owen. Teddy couldn't help but cry tears of joy. The three of them sat and admired the baby for a while, letting Teddy recover a bit. Teddy also took the opportunity to feed her for the first time.

"I think she's done," Teddy eventually said, removing the baby from her breast.

"We should take her to the hospital and get her checked out," Owen suggested. "You too."

Teddy nodded but made no effort to move. "Another minute."

"I'll get some stuff ready for the car," Owen suggested, not really wanting to leave the baby for even a second but wanting to make sure that both Teddy and the baby were healthy after that abrupt labor. He left the room.

"She is perfect," Tom told Teddy. Teddy smiled.

"Thank you for being here," Teddy said.

"When you said you wanted both of us in the delivery room, I didn't think you meant only us," Tom joked.

Teddy laughed. "I was secretly planning this fast labor all along to help you guys learn to work together. It worked well."

Tom kissed Teddy's cheek. "I love you."

"I love you, too." Teddy smiled. "Do you want to hold her now?"

Tom nodded. Teddy carefully transferred Allison from her arms to Tom's. Tom had already been in awe of this child from the minute he saw her, but to hold her in his arms was a whole different experience. He instantly felt connected to her and protective of her. He was so happy that he would get to be a part of her life.

Next to him, Teddy was getting off the bed and went into the bathroom to clean up. She was extremely sore but knew that she needed to get her baby to the hospital to be checked out. Once she was clean, she put on some comfy clothes to go to the hospital in. She came back out and smiled at the sight of Tom whispering to the baby. She could only make out the words 'love', 'mom', and 'peanut' before Tom noticed her standing there and stopped talking.

"Am I interrupting?" Teddy asked.

"No, we were just talking," Tom replied, smiling.

"About what?"

"You," Tom admitted, standing up and bringing Allison to Teddy. Teddy smiled as she took her daughter into her arms and carried her to the car to head to the hospital.

After both Teddy and Allison were issued a clean bill of health, they returned to Teddy's house. Teddy was exhausted and could barely walk straight as she got out of the car. Teddy offered Owen to stay at her house for the night, as it was already three in the morning and everyone needed sleep. Owen agreed and carried Leo inside while Tom carried Allison. Allison was sleeping soundly and Tom brought her to the bassinet in Teddy's room.

"You don't have to stay if you don't want to," Teddy told Tom, looking saddened by the thought.

Tom held Teddy by the shoulders, noticing the tears in her eyes. "What? Of course, I'm going to stay."

"But, you have to work tomorrow," Teddy replied, becoming slightly weepy. She was exhausted and really didn't want Tom to leave her tonight. "And if she wakes up, she'll keep you up."

Tom pulled Teddy into a hug. "I'm not going anywhere. She's going to sleep for a few more hours at least and I will drink lots of coffee tomorrow. Okay?"

Teddy nodded and wiped her eyes. Teddy said a long goodnight to Allison and climbed into the fresh sheets that Tom had put on the bed. Owen came in a few seconds later to say goodnight to Allison after putting Leo in her crib down the hall and then left to go sleep on the couch. Teddy was already fast asleep at that point.

Teddy woke up a few hours later as she felt Tom get out of bed.

"I didn't mean to wake you," Tom said.

"No, it's okay," Teddy assured him. "I should get her to eat. It's been a few hours now."

Teddy moved to get up, but Tom stopped her and went to get Allison from the bassinet.

"Hey there, peanut," Tom whispered to her, picking her up and kissing her forehead. "Want to see your mom?"

Tom brought her over to Teddy who was already smiling. Seeing her baby was rewarding enough, but seeing Tom interact with her reminded her how lucky she was to have him. Teddy fed her while Tom got ready for work. After getting ready he still had another minute before he had to leave. He sat down with Teddy and Allison. Allison's eyes were open now and Tom noticed that they were bright green, much like Teddy's.

"She has the prettiest eyes," Tom commented. "Just like yours."

Teddy smiled and leaned over to kiss him. "Thank you."

"If you need anything while I'm at the hospital, just call me," he told her. He gave her a kiss goodbye. "I love you."

"I love you too," Teddy told him. Tom took Allison back to the bassinet so Teddy could get a few more hours of sleep.

Teddy woke up from the sunlight seeping through the window of her bedroom.

"Good morning, mommy," Owen said, from across the room, holding Allison in his arms and lifting her arm as if she were waving to Teddy.

Teddy smiled and reached out her arms to tell Owen to bring her over.

From down the hall, they heard Leo crying, wanting to get up for the morning. Owen left to go get him while Teddy fed Allison again. Owen returned after Leo had calmed down and Allison was finished eating.

"Leo, do you want to meet your little sister?" Owen asked. Leo was babbling away and had a smile on his face. Owen sat down next to Teddy and put Leo in between them. Teddy held Allison out for Leo to see her.

"Baby!" Leo said excitedly, pointing at her.

"Yes, it is a baby. This is Allison," Teddy told Leo. "Can you say Allie?"

Leo tried copying Teddy to say his sister's name but couldn't quite pronounce the 'L' sound making it come out sounding like 'ah yee' which Owen and Teddy thought was pretty cute.

Leo reached out, wanting to touch the baby and Owen took his hand and guided it to ensure that he was gentle with her.

"Leo, can you give Allison a kiss?" Owen asked. Owen demonstrated by leaning over and giving Allison a kiss on the forehead. Leo followed Owen's lead and did the same. Owen was happy to see that Leo liked his little sister.

"Did you call your mom or Megan yet?" Teddy asked. "They'll want to come see her."

"I wasn't sure when you'd be up for company and I knew Megan wouldn't wait," Owen explained. "I'll give them a call now if you're up to it."

Teddy nodded and Owen called his family to tell them to come over. It did not take them long to get over to Teddy's house. Megan and Evelyn took turns holding the newest addition to the family, while Owen and Teddy told them all about the birth.

"I'm so glad she came before I go back to LA," Megan said, rocking Allison in her arms.

"When do you go back?" Teddy asked.

"Tonight" Megan said. "But, I'll make another trip soon to visit. I'll bring Nathan and Farouk next time."

"We can't wait," Owen told her.

Tom was working in the lab when he checked his watch and saw that he still had hours until his shift was over. He desperately wanted to get home to Teddy and Allison. He hated that Teddy and Hunt would get weeks of leave to bond with their daughter while he was stuck here. He decided to give Teddy a call to see how they were doing.

"Hey," Teddy answered. "How's work going?"

"Fine," he told her. "How are you doing?"

"Good. Megan and Evelyn just left," Teddy told him. "And, Leo is coloring a picture for Allison."

"That sounds nice," Tom said, sad that he couldn't be there. "And, how's the peanut?"

"Still as cute as the last time you saw her," Teddy assured him. Allison started crying and Tom could hear her on the phone. "I've got to go. I miss you."

With that, Teddy hung up and Tom got back to work. He was pulled into a four hour surgery that ended just twenty minutes before his shift ended. He went back to the lab and saw Amelia.

"Hey, how was New York?" Tom asked.

"Uh, complicated, terrible, but ended pretty okay," Amelia told him. She noticed Tom quickly packing up paperwork to head home. "Are you in a rush?"

"Teddy had the baby early this morning," Tom replied.

"How is she?" Amelia asked.

"She's tired and sore. I mean she gave birth in her bedroom without an epidural which was definitely not her plan," Tom answered.

"Oh," Amelia said, surprised. "I meant the baby but I'm glad Teddy's okay too."

"Right," Tom said, realizing that he should have known she meant the baby. He took out his phone where he had just a couple pictures of her and showed them to Amelia. "She's perfect. Healthy. Tiny. Adorable."

"Aww she's cute," Amelia said. She tapped on her leg considering whether she should ask a question. "How's Owen doing?"

"Still hung up on Hunt?" Tom asked, shaking his head in disapproval.

"No," Amelia insisted. "I'm actually seeing someone. But, I'm curious."

"Hunt and I aren't exactly the closest of friends," Tom told her. "But, he seems happy. I mean, how could he not be?"

"And, you're not the least bit concerned that Teddy and Owen are going to spend a lot of time together while they are on maternity and paternity leave?" Amelia asked skeptically. She had broken up with Owen because she believed that they would fall back in love over this baby.

"No, I'm not," Tom insisted. He could tell that Teddy's feelings for him were real.

"I don't know," Amelia continued, trying to figure out Tom could do it. She knew she couldn't. It's why she and Owen weren't together anymore. "I don't get how you can be so invested in a baby that's not yours and is a product of love between the woman you love and Owen, who is still in the picture. I mean, they'll get to make all the calls on how to raise her leaving you to be like a third wheel parent."

"Third wheels don't sleep in the mom's bed and ten feet from the baby," Tom told her, defensively. The truth was that Tom did want to have more of a role in Allison's life. He loved her already and wanted to bond with her and help raise her without feeling like he was overstepping. But, he planned to take it one day at a time and take whatever role he was given as it came.

When he finally made it to Teddy's he came in quietly, not wanting to wake Allison if she was sleeping. Instead he saw Hunt fast asleep on the couch. He went upstairs and found Teddy, Leo, and Allison in Allison's room. Allison was lying on her back on the baby blanket he bought her with her legs and arms wriggling around. Teddy was sitting next to her with a book and Leo was by her side, looking at the pictures in the book.

"Can you find the cat?" Teddy asked Leo, indicating to the picture in the book. Leo pointed to the cat in the book and Teddy celebrated to let him know that he was right. Tom let himself watch Teddy interact with Leo and the baby for a minute before letting her know he was there.

"Hey," he greeted. "How was your day?"

"Good," Teddy said, leaning over to give him a kiss once he sat down next to Allison.

"I see they tired Hunt out," Tom said.

"Yeah, we were taking turns napping while she slept," Teddy explained. "I'm exhausted already. Do you know how much babies eat? And poop?"

"You know, I've heard that they do that a lot," Tom teased. As if on cue, Allison began crying. Teddy was about to reach for her to comfort her but Tom offered to instead and Teddy sat back and let him take her. Tom picked her up and held her close. He rubbed her back gently to get her to stop crying but quickly realized that she needed to be changed.

"I can do it," Tom offered. "If that's okay with you."

Teddy smiled. He had just gotten home from work and was already willing to do the not so fun parts of taking care of a baby. "Of course. Thank you."

He took her over to the changing table while Teddy continued reading to Leo. Tom was happy to change Allison's diaper. He wanted to spend quality time with her whether it was playing with her or taking care of her. He wanted her to recognize that he loved her and that, even though she had a father, he would be there for her too. She cried while he changed her until he finished and held her against his chest and shoulder. He held her like that for a few minutes, letting her get used to him before putting her back on the blanket where Teddy had her.

"You're really great with her," Teddy commented. "It's nice watching you two bond."

"Well, trust me, I enjoy it too," Tom told her.

"Can I ask you something?" Teddy asked, taking hold of his hand. Tom nodded. "Would you want to move in?"

"You want me to?" Tom asked.

"I mean, you basically already live here," Teddy reminded him. "And, yeah. I want you to. I know, it's probably not ideal. You don't want to live with a newborn baby who is going to constantly keep us up at night. So, it's okay if you don't-"

"Teddy," Tom said, interrupting her before she could finish her sentence suggesting that he wouldn't want to live here because of the baby. "I love you. I love the peanut. Of course I want to move in. I want to spend every day with the two of you. I don't care if she keeps me up at night. I want to be there for her. And, for you."

Teddy had tears in her eyes now. She still didn't know how she had gotten lucky enough to be with Tom. She kissed him passionately until Leo started tugging gently on Teddy's shirt to get her attention. When she looked over at him, he pointed to the book indicating that he wanted her to read some more. Teddy and Tom smiled at each other and continued to read the book to him.

"I'm going to head back to my house," Owen told Teddy later that night.

"Are you sure?" Teddy asked. She felt guilty that Owen wouldn't get to take Allison to his house for a while. Teddy wanted to breastfeed for a while, which required her to be with the baby frequently since she wanted to eat every few hours. "You could always stay again if you wanted."

"No," Owen said. He understood that he wouldn't get to take his daughter home for a little while but he still had Leo to think about. "I think it'd be good for Leo to sleep in his own crib for the night. But, I'll be back first thing in the morning."

Owen went upstairs to say goodbye to his daughter, while Teddy helped Leo get his shoes on. When Owen got upstairs, he saw Tom holding Allison. It was the first time he had seen Tom holding her and he had to admit that he didn't like it. Owen didn't want Allison to have two father figures in her life. He wanted to be the one and only. But, he knew he'd eventually have to get over it. Teddy loved Tom and he would remain a part of Allison's life because of it.

"Hey, I'm leaving. Could I have a minute with her to say goodbye?" Owen asked, nicely. He knew that this was his child and he shouldn't have to ask to hold her but he didn't want to unnecessarily start something with Tom.

"Yeah," Tom agreed, handing over the baby. "You're in luck. She just woke up."

Tom left the room to give Owen some one-on-one time with the baby. Owen held his little girl closely.

"Hi Allie," Owen started. "I'm going to go home for the night. But, I love you so much and I'll be back in the morning to take care of you with mommy. And, maybe soon we'll take you to my house to show you your other bedroom. You have a whole bunch of toys to play with and you'll get to see where your brother, Leo, lives. It'll be confusing for a while, but mommy and I will figure out how to make it work. I promise."

He gave her a kiss on the head. "I love you, Allison."
