"Um. Spencer?" Teddy said confused when she saw him walking up to her front porch as she was leaving. "W-what are you doing here?"
"Hi, Teddy." Spencer said. "Are you leaving?"
"Sort of. What are you doing here?"
"Here." He handed Teddy a bag. "My mom wanted me to bring these over to you."
Teddy looked in the bag and saw that there were some clothes, a blanket, bibs, socks, and hats. "Oh... Thanks. I was actually leaving to do some shopping for her. I still have a lot to get like a bathtub, diapers and wipes, bedding for her crib... So I appreciate this. You can tell your mom that, too."
Spencer nodded, staring down at her five and a half month belly. "Can you feel her move yet?"
"Sometimes." She smiled. "It's honestly an amazing feeling, even though it keeps me up at night sometimes or make me uncomfortable at school, you know?"
"Yeah. So my mom just wanted me to bring you this bag. I should let you go."
Teddy nodded. "Yeah, thanks again."
"Okay. Bye."
It was a pretty awkward encounter between Spencer and Teddy. But she just hopes the awkwardness will ease before the baby's born because she wants to be at least friends with Spencer if they'll have to co-parent for the next eighteen years of Gemma's life.
After going back inside the house to place the bag Spencer gave her in there, Teddy went to the mall. She went into a baby store, that was having a sale, and looked at the baby clothes and blankets and basically everything she needs.
On the way home, after spending an hour shopping in multiple of baby stores, Teddy decided to stop for some frozen yogurt, at Pile High Yogurt, since it's been one of her biggest craves of the day. Since it's one of those yogurt places where you do it yourself, Teddy got multiple of flavors and put assorted of toppings on top of it.
"Your total is $2.50."
Teddy looked up from her wallet, handing the cashier a five dollar bill, seeing it was Spencer. "I didn't know you worked here."
"I started a month ago." Spencer handed Teddy her change. "You know the baby and all... My parents have been pressuring me to get a job."
"Oh..." Spencer handed Teddy a spoon from behind the counter. "Thanks." Teddy stood there for a moment just staring at Spencer in awkward silence. "Okay. Bye."
Teddy sat down at one of the tables to eat her yogurt so it wouldn't melt on the drive back home. She took her phone out and listened to a miss call from her doctor's office reminding her about her next appointment three days from now.
Before leaving the frozen yogurt shop, Teddy went up to Spencer because she wanted to ask him a question. "Do you want to come to my next O.B. appointment?"
"You really want me to come?" He asked. "Especially after how I've been acting?"
"If you want. I think you should see her and hear her and fall in love with her." She said. "If you're wondering, my mom won't be there. It's usually just me, by myself going to these appointments."
"I didn't know that..."
"How about you think about it. It's in three days. So just text me if you want to come or don't at all."
When Teddy got home, she froze because when she opened the front door, there were many people there who shouted surprise to her. It was a surprise baby shower. Some of her friends and family members and friend's of her mother were there. There was also a lot of food, which Teddy suddenly regretted the frozen yogurt she ate before coming home. But hey, she still has room for more because she's eating for two.
"Ivy, did you plan this?" Teddy asked.
"Your mom helped, but you know it, girl." Ivy said.
"I said no baby shower."
"T, you needed one." Ivy said. "How the hell do you think you would be able to afford everything?"
"Spencer got a job."
"That dog got a job? Where?"
"Pile High Yogurt."
"You're telling me he works in a yogurt shop?" Ivy laughed. "That's too funny, girl."
"He said he got the job because of Gemma since his parents were pressuring him."
"Aw, poor little rich boy is gonna get cut off from his mommy and daddy?" Ivy laughed. "Oh, you'r gonna kill me, T."
"Well this baby is going to kill me."
Teddy was grateful for everything she got at the end of the day. She received mainly clothes and was unsure where she would put all of them since her closet is full and here dressers are full, which means she'll have to reorganize and get rid of more clothes, or buy another dresser just for her baby's clothes.
After having this baby shower, Teddy isn't worried much anymore about Gemma not having enough clothes and accessories and toys because that was mainly what she received, and worried about before the shower. But now, she'll just have to worry about having enough diapers and wipes. But at least now she has Spencer to lean on to help pay for diapers and wipes since they do get pretty expensive. Plus he does have a job now, not that his parents probably wouldn't help.
Thanks for reading! ;D
