The story is set about a month after Cristina has left so at the start of season 11. Ngl season 11 and 12 were my least favourite grey's seasons therefore I haven't watched them for a while but I will definitely re-watch them again soon so although I'm trying to make sure the same story lines happen around Teddy returning there may be a few details wrong. So please leave a comment so I can correct it if you see any inaccuracies I wouldn't be offended. Maybe if in future chapters others characters might change as a result of Teddy returning though. But I don't know yet. Anyway please enjoy!

She walked into Grey Sloan dragging two big suitcases and she looked around taking in the rushing nurses dashing everywhere and shaken up people being comforted. Scanning the area for a familiar face, she finally saw a small friendly looking lady coming toward her.
'Altman!' she greeted, 'Thank you so much for coming! I know you're a very busy person.'
'So must you be Miranda!' Teddy responded while giving Bailey a hug despite knowing that Bailey wasn't a big hug person
'Owen's in his office' Bailey said suddenly trying to think of an excuse to break the hug.
'Thank you, and good seeing you. You're looking well.'
'See you this afternoon?' She said while walking away.
'Yes I'll meet you in the main meeting room at 3.'

Teddy walked off when she got an expected text.
Meet u by the main coffee cart in 10 then?xxx
She quickly replied to the text and started walking towards the coffee cart on the 2nd floor. Despite it being 2 and a half years since she had last stepped foot in the hospital, it felt time was frozen. She continually looked around; nothing had changed. Especially her friendship her friendship with Arizona.
She looked exactly the same as she did except her straight blonde hair was just a little longer as it was now just below the shoulder but she looked her normal cheerful self.
'OMG! I've missed you so much and I'm sorry we haven't spoken much and I'm sorry that I haven't been sending you as many pictures of Sofia but you must see her because she's so big now and she so clever and cute but it's been really hard at the moment as me and Callie have been arguing a lot because I slept with someone else but I didn't mean it and I completely regret it but Callie took it really personally but we're really working on our relationship and I have hope!'
Arizona had this incredible talent of speaking amazingly fast. Teddy could tell by her sorry face that it happened been easy and Teddy did feel bad as she hadn't made much of an effort in the last few months to FaceTime or phone Arizona because of both their busy lives.
'How are you by the way?' Arizona laughed while giving Teddy a big hug.
'I'm good. I suppose. Life really busy and by the sound of it so is yours.' Teddy responded while breaking the hug. 'I'm so sorry for not contacting you over the last few months.'
The two friends sat down on a near by bench and talked away filling each other in the details since there last FaceTime call. But Arizona could tell there was something not quite right about Teddy.
'Dam. Sorry I must go but it was so nice catching up and you really must see Sofia...' she rushed while dashing off to answer the page.

Teddy finished her coffee as she realised she spent more time talking than drinking and then got up only to meet two familiar faces. Except this time she could tell both of them looked more mature and wise since the last time she saw them.
'Meredith! Alex!' She exclaimed. 'Good to see you two!' She barely recognised them wearing dark blue scrubs when in fact they'd been wearing them for nearly three years.
'Teddy!' Meredith replied while giving Teddy a bit of an awkward hug as the last time she saw her she was her best friend's boss. While Alex just gave Teddy a big smile.
'So nice to see you too.' Alex added. But Teddy could tell that Meredith and Alex we're both trying to work out why she was here. She thought they must be thinking it was because of Owen to do with Cristina recent leaving but neither said anything.

She finally reached the chief's office. And without hesitation she knocked.
'Come in.'
Teddy quickly walked in the door wanting to see the expression on her best friend's face.
'Teddy?' he asked with a confused but happy look on his face.
'Yes that's my name' she laughed.
He had not changed. His strawberry blonde hair was still as messy as it was 2 and a half years ago and she can tell that he still didn't like being chief too much.
'Why are you here?' He said puzzled.
'Good to see you too!' She laughed again while giving him a big warm hug. 'No Bailey rang me about a patient of hers actually who's an refugee who had a botched surgery by my refugee clinic so I flew over to sort it out.'
'You didn't have to fly all this way for that you could of just hired a lawyer or sent someone else over you kn...'
'He's pointed out a bad flaw about my clinic and it would be a lot quicker for me to sort it out personally.' She lied while butting in.
She knew she could of quite easy sorted it out by email but it was a good excuse to see Owen as she knew he was really struggling with Cristina's departure even though they both knew 2 and a half years ago the relationship was never going to last. Never the less Cristina leaving last month had apparently left him starting to go into a downward spiral according to her sources, who had been keeping an eye on Owen for Teddy ever since she left. She cared a lot about Owen and was even reluctant to leave in the first place because of the downward spiral of his relationship and mental well-being partially because of how angry she had been about the loss of her husband.
'I'm so glad you here.' He said quite sadly. Teddy could tell he was broken.
'Me too.'
