"Owen!" Arizona whipped around in her seat.
Owen stared in shock at Teddy and then to the monitor revealing her condition.
"Teddy...what-what are you-?" He didn't know what to say.
Arizona turned towards Teddy and smiled sweetly.
"I'll give you two a moment, I think you need some time with your friend," she whispered and nodded towards Owen to come in to talk to his Person.
Owen approached Teddy slowly, still in shock to see her on Arizona's exam table, knowing full well why she was there but didn't understand how he didn't know sooner.
He took a seat next to her. She looked at him sadly but with a small smile, excited that her favorite person finally knew she was going to be a mother.
"Surprise..." Teddy whimpered.
Owen turned around and looked at the monitor, at the twins.
"Teddy, you're pregnant. You're pregnant with...twins." Owen whispered.
She started crying hard.
"Yup, 12 weeks. I'm three months pregnant with my dead husbands babies, Owen."
"Teddy..." Owen whispered and held Teddy close, "I'm so sorry but so happy for you. I know how much you've wanted be a mom."
Teddy sobbed into Owens chest. She missed her friend so much. She missed his warm and comforting embrace, and she felt awful for how she'd treated him over the last couple of months. It wasn't his fault, Henry's death wasn't his fault, but she made it that way. In the end, all he was trying to do was protect Teddy from the pain of her loss as long as he possibly could.
"Owen, Owen...I'm so sorry..." She cried.
Owen pulled away and looked deeply into her swollen, puffy, beautiful green eyes. He tucked a strand of hair behind her ear.
"No, you listen to me Teddy. Do not apologize. I screwed up. You were grieving, and you had the right to be pissed at me. I went about it all wrong, and now this..." He trailed off and looked down at her belly, and then to the monitor.
Teddy placed her hand on her little bump and rubbed it softly.
"I love these babies so much already," she said softly, "but I'm terrified, and sad. I'm terrified of becoming a mother to not only one but TWO babies, alone! And I'm heartbroken that Henry is missing this..."
Owen nodded in understanding. Then he took Teddy's hands.
"Teddy, I am so sorry that Henry isn't here for this. He'd be over the moon about these two. But you are not alone, do you hear me? You're not alone." He stated.
Teddy smiled.
"Thank you, Owen. I'm glad you're here."
Owen took a moment, hoping that Teddy wouldn't reject his idea.
"Teddy, I know it won't be the same, obviously, but if you'll let me...I want to be there, through all of this. I want to help you, I want to be there for all of the appointments, birthing classes, baby shopping, decorating the nursery...all of it. If you'll let me..." He proposed.
Teddy started crying again, she was beyond touched.
"Owen, you don't have to do that..." She replied, she didn't want to feel like an obligation just because she was pregnant and alone.
"I WANT to, Teddy. You're my bestfriend, you're the most important person in the world to me."
Teddy paused, feeling a bit funny.
"What about Cristina?" She asked.
Owen froze. Cristina was a touchy subject right now. They weren't doing well. He cheated, she left. She didn't want kids, she aborted their baby and he couldn't forgive her. Owen knew his faults in the situation, but she broke him.
"She..." He stopped.
Teddy looked at him, encouraging him to go on.
"The last few weeks have been hard. I think it may be the end." He said quietly.
Teddy nodded sympathetically.
"I'm sorry I haven't been there for you much..." she replied heavily.
Owen shook his head.
"Please, my shit doesn't even compare to what you've been going through."
"Owen," Teddy said, "everyone's pain and struggle is valid. There's no comparison."
"I know...I know. The point is, Teddy, I'm GOING to be there for you, through this. And it doesn't matter what Cristina thinks about it." And he embraced Teddy once again.
"Thank you." She whispered.
The next few weeks went by in a flash. Teddy and Owens friendship repaired each day, and not only that, he kept his word.
Teddy's belly continued to grow. At nearly 16 weeks she had a proper bulge that she couldn't keep her hands off of, and she was truly beginning to enjoy being pregnant. She even began to feel the slightest of flutters from her babies.
The first time it happened, she was visiting their father.
"Henry...I don't know how I-" Teddy clutched her belly gently as tears pooled in her eyes, "oh my god, oh my god!"
She was mesmerized with the slight flutters that tickled her tummy in the sweetest and most exciting way.
"Henry...are you here, are you doing this?!" She cried.
She shook her head in awe. What were the chances that she'd feel their babies first flutters why she was paying a visit to their daddy?
"Henry our babies are healthy, they're thriving. Oh honey, I wish you could feel this...although...even if you were here you probably wouldn't be able to feel it from the outside yet. But oh my god Henry...our babies, they're moving!"
Teddy cried and cried on Henry's grave with happiness, and didn't stop rubbing her belly once, intoxicated by the beautiful flutters that seemed never ending.
Once she left the cemetery, she called Owen immediately.
"Owen, Owen!" Teddy squealed.
"Teddy, are you okay?!" Owen asked, panicking of course.
Teddy laughed.
"Oh relax, Hunt. I'm fine! More than fine..." she trailed off.
"So what's going on?" He asked in confusion.
"Well, I was visiting Henry's grave and it happened...Owen, it happened." She cried.
"What happened Teddy?"
"They moved, Owen! The babies moved! I felt the first flutters and they just kept going and going!" She exclaimed.
"Oh my god, that's amazing!" He felt so excited and happy for her.
"It really did feel like little fishes, or feathers!" Teddy laughed, "I don't know. All I know is, it felt incredible. And the fact that it happened for the first time while I was-you know." She said.
"I know. It's like it was a sign." Owen replied.
"Yeah," Teddy smiled and rubbed her bulge lovingly, "anyway, I just wanted you to know."
"Thanks for telling me. I'll talk to you later Altman."
"Bye Owen."
