Saturday morning Annie met Teddy to look for Teddy's outfit for the wedding and Allison's flower girl dress.

"What are you thinking about Allison's dress," Teddy asked.

"White frilly and cute," Annie said, "silver shoes to match me and my bridesmaids."

"Do you want the royal on it anywhere," Teddy asked.

"I don't think so you did that with the green for your wedding," Annie replied, "I'd like to make it different and she has blue and purple rose petals so that's enough colour."

"What about me," Teddy asked.

"Either of the colours," Annie said, "you have to feel good in it. Same thing I told Jenna, Julia, Cassidy and Steph. You have to feel gorgeous in it."

"Length, style," Teddy asked.

"Knee and up to you otherwise," Annie said, "I'm not picky."

"You're almost too easy going for a bride," Teddy smiled, "we haven't had any bridezilla moments."

"I'm about to," Annie said, "about my parents not making up their minds."

"I know," Teddy agreed, "it's not fair to you."

"Numbers, seating charts, favours," Annie listed

"Do two seating charts," Teddy suggested, "with and with out them."

"That will be fun," Annie said, "at least 80% of our friends are coworkers so can be mix up pretty easily."

"Attendings and residents separate," Teddy said.

"Haven't decided. Looking at who gets along with who," Annie said, "keeping couples together."

"Josh will help you," Teddy promised.

"I know I wish I could have both you and mom," Annie said.

"It's harder since you got in touch with them," Teddy acknowledged.

"It is," Annie agreed, "I want to tell them to smarten up."

"I know," Teddy said, "but let's focus on this."

"Allison's dress first," Annie said.

"It's May she doesn't need it to august," Teddy said, "I should get it a bit big."

"Probably," Annie said, "she needs shoes for my wedding she wa barefoot for yours."

"She was seven months," Teddy laughed, "she was to be held by Evelyn."

"It felt right that she was there," Annie said.

Teddy laughed, "it was almost like you and Owen rehearsed that."

"Nope," Annie smiled.

"Do you know what your friends are planning for a bachelorette," Teddy asked.

"Nope. Nothing crazy," Annie said, "I want quiet and nothing dirty."

Teddy laughed, "with your friends that's not going to happen."

"I can try," Annie smiled, "there is a party in a couple weeks some pre wedding fun with our friends that I got sent a very personal survey for. Way too personal."

"Have fun then tell me about it," Teddy said, "I didn't do it for either wedding."

"Only Owen was there for Henry," Annie said.

"It was different for sure," Teddy said, "I still think about him sometimes."

"So do I," Annie admitted, "we always will. He loved you."

"He loved us," Teddy said, "he never questioned you. Only two men in my life have embraced you."

"Owen and Henry," Annie smiled, "I think if he's watching Henry would be happy for us."

"He would be. And so proud of you kiddo," Teddy said, "he thought you were the best kid."

"That cabin trip when I was 21 and we ran into a work friend of his," Annie said, "he couldn't stop bragging and I was just his step kid."

"He didn't think he could ever have children with his health," Teddy said, "we thought you would be our one and only. He would ask every day if I had talked to kiddo. Our last conversation with you we were so happy."

"The morning before he passed he called me," Annie said, "he was planning a proper proposal and wanted me to help with a couple things. He was so excited. He wanted to do a proper wedding."

"You've never told me that," Teddy said, "I wish you would have told me then."

"I thought it would hurt you," Annie said, "you were so devastated I couldn't add to the pain."

"I can see that," Teddy said, "that was a hard spring."

"It was," Annie said, "I wish I would have known our last waffle morning was the last. I would have stayed at the table longer and not run off to study."

"That was the start of waffles for special days," Teddy said, "Owen doesn't know where it comes from."

"Josh does," Annie replied, "he never understood why I was so attached to my step dad."

"You had your own bond with him," Teddy said.

"And I've always had my own connection to uncle Owen," Annie pointed out.

"Owen wanted to get to know you the moment he knew you were coming to visit," Teddy said, "you were instantly family. He wanted to get to know you for you. Why do you think he took you to the OR to scrub in with him when I was doing the grafts in a transplant. He wanted to know you."

"I thought he wanted to throw me into surgery to see if I liked it," Annie said.

"Partially," Teddy replied, "he wanted to get you to talk away from me, getting to know you for you."

"I laughed at the birds on your cap because I didn't know the story," Annie said, "and he asked what I would want on mine."

"Sea otters," Teddy said, "then you came down in May and the cap was there for you."

"He ordered it didn't he," Annie asked.

"He did," Teddy confirmed, "and you got to wear it to scrub in with us."

"I wore it for half my labs in med school. It's waiting for me to finish residency," Annie said, "with my starfish and maybe I'll finally take the orca one out of the box and wear it."

"The Orcas," Teddy said, "I remember that one, did you ever wear it?"

"A few times," Annie said, "but it reminded me of Henry at first then it got pushed to the bottom of the box because the ones I was wearing built up on top of it."

"Wear it if you want to," Teddy said.

"I'm wearing my otters the first day I get to pick my cap," Annie said, "it's my first one so it fits."

"In fourth and fifth year you can sometimes as you earn it for some surgeries," Teddy said, "it would make Owen happy to see it again."

"My starfish is still my favourite," Annie said, "it was always so unique people recognized it."

"My birds get recognized," Teddy said.

"I want to stand out for being me," Annie said.

"You do," Teddy said, "Bailey was really impressed with you yesterday."

"About that," Annie said, "I didn't think about the last name when I started working on the kid a month ago but the meeting I had with his mom made me uncomfortable after."

"What happened," Teddy asked.

"Nathan said not to worry you but that might have been another half sibling," Annie said, "the mom said some things that make me wonder."

"What did she say," Teddy asked.

"The boy's dad left when he was 6 months old, dad's name is Steven Thompson," Annie said, "the mom told me that the boys paternal grandma told her that the father has a daughter in her 20s somewhere that he walked away from before she was born."

"You think she was talking about you," Teddy asked.

"We need to get dad's history for my patient," Annie said, "she was going to get him to contact me or Nathan."

"Contact Nathan as the attending," Teddy said, "until we know if it is your father. If it is we have to tell Bailey."

"Would I be in trouble," Annie asked.

"How could you be, we didn't know," Teddy said.

"Bailey won't get mad," Annie asked.

"We honestly didn't know," Teddy said, "but he won't give the info."

"Bailey's genome sequencing," Annie asked, "see if the tumor has any sort of family history."

"You want to know," Teddy said.

"I've accepted that I'll never know," Annie replied, "I don't know if I want to do the sequencing."

"You could," Teddy replied, "I'm happy to help so they only have to do the other half. I let Bailey try it on mine when you were an intern."

"I'll think about it," Annie said, "I don't know if I want to know."

"Enough medicine talk," Teddy said, "dresses for Allison first."

"Then lunch and your dress," Annie smiled.

"Sounds good," Teddy smiled, "sushi?"

"You read my mind," Annie laughed.

They walked into the childrens clothing store and began flipping through the formal dresses.

"What do you think of this one," Annie asked.

"It's cute," Teddy said, "is that what you want?"

"It's cute but we could do better," Annie replied, "but it's the best I've seen. My dress was easier."

"Not many brides buy the second dress they try on," Teddy laughed.

"It was perfect," Annie said, "I put it on and it was me why mess with that?"

"You don't," Teddy smiled.

"It's what I pictured as a little girl," Annie said, "it's my princess dress. Now we need one for Ali."

"There's another formal wear for kids store a couple blocks away do you want to look there," Teddy asked.

"Let's try it," Annie replied.

They walked the couple blocks and looked at more dresses for Allison before they found one Annie liked, it's lace echoing the lace in Annie's dress.

"Are you sure you want your siblings to do this," Teddy asked.

"What better flower girl and ring bearer," Annie smiled, "family."

"If it's what you want," Teddy said.

"We're doing what we want," Annie said, "Josh and I are deciding together."

"What big decisions are left," Teddy asked.

"First dance song," Annie smiled.

"Thoughts," Teddy asked.

"One really sentimental idea," Annie said, "but we don't know how people will react."

"What is it," Teddy asked.

"The song we were dancing to the night he first kissed me," Annie blushed, "it was such a perfect moment it should be our first dance."

"What was it," Teddy asked.

"Amazed," Annie said, "it's a country song which is more me than him but it's our song."

"Use it," Teddy said, "it's special to the two of you."

They spent the rest of the afternoon hanging out and shopping finding a few of the things they needed for the wedding as well as a couple things for the conference in Whistler in two weeks.
