A/N: Sorry it's short. But, this was the logical place to end the chapter. Thanks to all my readers and especially to my reviewers!

"Which outfit do you want to wear today, Allison?" Teddy asked, holding up two outfits to her daughter. Allison reached out to touch the soft fabric of her clothes and stopped when she got to a navy dress with white polka dots since it was the softest.

Teddy picked it up. "Good choice."

Teddy dressed her daughter up for the day. Right on cue, Tom came into Allison's room. He gave Teddy a kiss and then scooped up the baby, giving her lots of little kisses. Allison let out a stream of giggles. Tom took Allison downstairs, giving Teddy time to get ready for work.

"Morning," he said to Owen who was getting both Leo and Allison's breakfasts ready.

"Morning," Owen replied, as Tom set Allison into her high chair.

"Nervous for tonight?" Tom asked.

Owen shrugged. "A little."

"I'll tell Teddy to go easy on her," Tom promised. Tonight Owen was bringing Elizabeth home for the first time. He had been dating her for about a month, going on dates with her once a week, but also seeing her more often for play dates for Leo and Nicky.

Owen specifically didn't invite her to his house because he wasn't ready for Teddy to interrogate her about their relationship. Teddy was massively overprotective of him and wanted to be sure that he would be happy with her. He was just afraid of scaring Elizabeth away. Although, she seemed to be resilient. He had told her a lot about mistakes he had made and she never flinched, just sometimes asked a lot of questions. He even told her that he lived with Teddy and Tom and the kids, and that even though it seemed a bit odd, it worked out well for the three of them. She thought that it was pretty cool that they had adapted to their unique situation.

Finally, Owen caved and invited her to dinner tonight at Teddy's request. Elizabeth would get a glimpse of what Owen's life was really like.

"Go easy on who?" Teddy asked, coming downstairs. She knew full well that they were talking about Owen's new girlfriend. "I don't know why you're so worried. If she doesn't have anything to hide then there won't be an issue."

"Do you think she's like a criminal or something?" Owen asked.

"Ooh, I'll add it to my list of questions," Teddy teased. Owen rolled his eyes. "What? I'm just making sure that she is right for you. And, if she's going to be spending time around our kids, we should know if she's a criminal."

Owen sighed. "And, you think I haven't already asked myself these questions?"

"Maybe you have," Teddy agreed. "But, you can also be really impulsive. I'm just looking out for you."

"Thanks, I think," Owen said unenthusiastically.

Once the three of them were ready to leave for work, they tried putting the kids shoes on. Teddy picked up one of Allison's shoes and Owen tried to get Leo's shoe on. Leo kicked his feet as Owen tried to, getting the shoe to fall out of Owen's hand.

"Mommy do it," Leo argued. Teddy smiled at Leo. She loved being called 'mom'.

"Trade you," Owen said, handing her Leo's shoe while Teddy handed him Allison's. Leo let Teddy put his shoes on. Owen managed to get Allison's first shoe on but as he went to put the second one on, she kicked her leg.

"Mama!" she yelled, trying to copy her brother.

"Oh my God!" Teddy exclaimed. She was so excited that Allison had finally called her 'mom'. Teddy was practically in tears as she put Allison's second shoe on. Tom was so happy for Teddy. She had been trying to get Allison to say it since she had said 'dad'. But, she just hadn't been picking it up.

"I don't think anything could ruin my day," Teddy told her family as they headed to the hospital.


"What are you guys up to tonight?" Amelia asked Tom as they worked in the lab. She was hoping to go over tonight since she was free. She really loved spending time with not only Leo and Owen but also with Tom and Teddy. She had always considered Tom a friend, but their friendship always remained in the confines of the hospital. And, now she and Teddy were becoming friends too. She and Teddy would have each other's backs in playful arguments against the guys. The four of them had a fun friendship where they could constantly tease each other without anyone getting offended.

"Meeting Hunt's new girlfriend," Tom answered.

"Owen has a girlfriend?" Amelia asked, looking up from her work. He hadn't mentioned anything to her about it.

"Careful there," Tom warned. "Jealousy does not look good on you."

"I'm not jealous," Amelia insisted. "Just surprised. That's all."

"Mhm," Tom said skeptically.

"I mean, why would I be jealous? I have Link," Amelia said, thinking aloud.

"Okay," Tom responded.

"And, he's great. I really like him," Amelia added.

"Are you telling me or yourself?" Tom asked.

Amelia sighed. "I'm telling you. Link is really sweet to me and he cares about me."

Tom laughed.

"What's so funny?"

"Well, when you talk about him, you only mention how he feels about you. How do you feel about him?"

Amelia groaned, knowing the point he was trying to make. "I'm just taking my time with him. My feelings will catch up."

"Even if you're thinking about Hunt's new girlfriend?" Tom questioned.

"Yes," Amelia insisted strongly. "I will not let myself fall for Owen again. That would be self-destructive behavior."

"Whatever you say," Tom replied.


"Holy sh-" Tom started to say as Teddy walked downstairs, but silenced himself since Allison was right next to him.

"I knew it," Teddy said sadly. "I look fat."

"No!" Tom protested as she turned around to change. He went up to her and took her hands in his. He held her an arm's length away and admired her. She was wearing a gray sweater dress that hugged her body tightly. It was a cozy dress but also cute. The sleeves hung off her shoulders, exposing her neck and part of her shoulders, and converged into a v-shape at her chest. Tom couldn't tear his eyes away from her amazing cleavage. He moved his hands to her hips and closed the space between them. "You look so sexy."

Teddy tilted her head and looked at him questioningly. "That's not what I was going for."

"Well, you do," Tom told her. He leaned in and kissed her, letting his hands roam over her body. His lips trailed her neck and collarbone.

"Hey, children in the room," Owen declared as he entered. Teddy and Tom pulled apart. "And, me. I don't need to see that either."

Teddy and Tom shared a smile.

"Are you two ready?" Owen asked. "She'll be here any minute."

"No, I have to go change," Teddy told him.

"Why?" Owen asked. "You look fine."

Teddy groaned. "Well, I'm going for better than fine but not sexy either. You don't do sexy on a double date."

Owen and Tom shared a confused look.

"Well, keep the dress for later," Tom whispered to Teddy, lightly touching her butt as she turned around to go back upstairs. Tom picked up Allison and could instantly smell her diaper. "I'll go change her real quick."

Tom went upstairs to change Allie in her bedroom. Teddy came back downstairs just as there was a knock on the door. Owen ran his hair through his hair one last time before answering.

"Oh stop you look good," Teddy told him. "Just answer the door."

Owen opened the door. "Hey come on in."

He hugged her and Teddy saw that Elizabeth had a big smile on her face. When they moved out of their hug, Owen kept a hand on her shoulder. "You remember Teddy?"

"Hi," she greeted nervously. Owen had warned her that Teddy may come on a little strong. Teddy's opinion of her obviously mattered a lot to Owen and Elizabeth wanted to make sure that Teddy liked her.

"Good to see you," Teddy replied. "We're so glad you could come."

Teddy showed her into the living room and the three of them sat down. Leo saw Elizabeth's familiar face and brought her a toy. The past month of practicing sharing with Leo had paid off. As she was still focused on saying hello to Leo, Tom came down the stairs carrying Allison on his shoulder.

"It looks like she's getting another diaper rash but I-" he started as he got to the bottom of the stairs. He couldn't believe who was sitting on his couch. "Lizzie?"

"Tom?" she asked, obviously surprised. Teddy and Owen shared a confused look and then looked back and forth at their dates.

"What are you doing here?" Tom asked, defensively.

"Do you two know each other?" Owen asked. The initial shock wore off and Tom understood. This was the Elizabeth that Owen was dating. Except he had never called her by her full name. Always Lizzie.

Tom and Elizabeth answered at the same time. "We were married."
