"Girl, you need a baby shower!" Ivy said.

"Oh yeah? And who would come? More importantly what teenager would go out and buy me baby items?" Teddy asked. "No baby shower."

"I just still can't believe that dog got you pregnant and now running away." Ivy said, staring at Spencer from across the hall.

"If he doesn't want him or his family to have a relationship with his daughter, then so be it. I won't force him but I hope he realizes what he's doing. Gemma will be growing up dadless."

"Until you get married."

"It still wouldn't be the same." Teddy slammed her locker shut. "I'll text you later."

As Teddy was about to get into her car, she heard someone calling her name. She turned around and saw Spencer.

"Teddy, wait!"

Teddy opened her car door and placed her books and bag inside. "What do you want?"

"Can we talk?" Spencer asked.

"Spencer I am hungry. I am tired. My feet hurt. I just want to go home and eat a container of ice cream while taking a nice warm bubble bath." Teddy got inside her car and as she was about to slam her door shut, Spencer yelled wait. "What do you want? I'm not in the mood to deal with any crap from you. You've been putting me through hell for the last three months; not wanting or accepting the fact that I'm having your daughter. Do you think I really want a baby? No, but I wasn't going to abort her. I'm going to accept my mistake and love her unconditionally, like you should. Heh... And I really thought you were different; someone I could trust and have by my side. But I guess I was wrong about you."

"What if I say I want the baby?"

"What?" Teddy stammered. "You want her now?"

"Yes." Spencer said.

"Why the change in heart?"

"You're right. I'm her dad and I could either be someone she'll love or someone who she'll hate and resent because I stayed away and didn't want to be part of any of it."

"Really?"

"Yeah."

Teddy's emotions, and hormones, obviously took over her body because she got out of her car and just hugged him. She even started to cry because from the moment she told him about the baby, those were the only words she wanted to hear come out of his mouth. Sure it's three months too late, and now she's five months pregnant, but she's just simply happy to hear those words.

When Teddy got home, she decided not to tell her parents about Spencer now wanting to step up to the responsibility of being a father. She felt like her parents would be upset that she is allowing Spencer, with all the crap he'v put her through, to be apart of Gemma's life. But Teddy didn't care what anyone think because it's her daughter and she's doing what's best for her. If Spencer finally accepted the fact that's he's having a kid and want to be in that child's life, then Teddy will allow it because at the end of the day, he is her daughter's father. Gemma needs her father and Teddy's knows it. And it's better to get it all sorted out now before she's born and Spencer realizes then he made a mistake. Plus she'll be able to get child support, extra money to help support Gemma, instead of depending on her parents for the time being.

No they're not back together. Teddy isn't going to be stupid and get back together with him, even though deep, deep down she still loves him. He broke her heart when she told him the news about Gemma and she isn't going to let him hurt her again. Maybe, if he's lucky and proves to her that he's still the same guy she fell in love with, she'll consider getting back with him, but for now, she's not.

"Teddy." Amy entered her daughter's room, where she was working on her homework.

"Huh?"

"Have you started to reorganize this room so all the baby's things will fit, like the crib? It's suppose to come this week, you know."

"Oh yeah. There's enough space at the end of my bed to put the crib. And then I'm planning on going through all my clothes and getting rid of everything that doesn't fit me so I can make room for Gemma's clothes."

Amy looked around her daughter's room. "Alright. I just want to be sure you are prepared before she comes."

"Mom, I know. But I have until July."

"Teddy, it's highly unlikely, but you could have a pregnancy complication where she could be born two or three months early. That's why you have to be prepared months ahead of time."

"Okay. Okay. I promise this weekend I'll clean up and go through my clothes and possibly do some shopping." As her mother was about to leave, Teddy shouted wait to her. "Can I talk to you about something?"

"You know you can tell me anything, sweetie."

"I talked to Spencer after school and he... wants to be a father now; be in her life."

"Oh."

He said he'd feel bad if she resented him her whole life because he was being a jerk for not wanting her."

"So what now?" Amy asked.

"I'm... going to let him in her life; we'll co-parent."

"So you're not back together."

"Of course not, mom."

"And you would tell us if you were?"

"Yes mom. It would be difficult to hide." Teddy said.

"Are you going to let him in the hospital room when she's born?"

"I don't know... I haven't thought that far ahead yet. Maybe though. I mean he is her father still."

"Yes he is and hopefully he'll love this child as much as I know you will."

"I hope so too. I hope he won't think of her as mistake and blames her for the reason why he ends up doing, I don't know what, with his life."
