"Are you nervous?" Teddy asked, looking at Spencer as they waited in the waiting room.
"No." He said.
Teddy could tell he was lying but decided not to question him. She got up when the nurse called her name and headed back, with Spencer slowly following. Teddy went through her usual routine, getting weighed, blood pressure taken, and then waited for a couple of minutes until her doctor entered her room.
"Just relax." Teddy said. "I know you're nervous. It's just a routine visit; get an ultra sound, go over a few things, and leave."
"Hello, Teddy." Dr. Mason said, entering the room. "How are you?"
"I'm fine." She said.
"Oh. Who is this you have with you today?"
"I'm Spencer." He said.
"The baby's dad." Teddy added.
"Well it's nice to meet you." Dr. Mason said. "So have there been anything bothering you?"
"Just the usual."
"Alright. Do you have any questions?"
"No, not that I can't think of."
"Alright. Great. It looks like your gaining the perfect amount of weight and your blood pressure is normal, so keep up the great work." The doctor placed her clipboard on the counter. "How about we see how your daughter is doing?"
Teddy nodded and lay down, pulling her shirt up. She stared over at the screen, waiting until an image of her baby appeared. The room filled with the sound of the baby's heart beat which made Teddy smile.
"Strong heart beat." Dr. Mason said.
"Look, Spencer." Teddy said, looking up at him. "That's Gemma. That's our baby."
"Yeah..." Spencer stared at the screen, fascinated. "It looks like she's waving."
"That's because she is." Dr. Mason smiled. "It's actually quite common for them to wave or simply do any form of movement. Some also may suck their thumb or even stick up their middle finger."
Teddy laughed. "I think she's a good one then. I'd be worried if she was sticking her finger up at us already."
The doctor finished measuring the baby and told Teddy everything was going great. So after Teddy made her next doctor's appointment, she and Spencer walked out to their cars.
"What did you think of the baby?" Teddy asked.
"I honestly don't know."
"I know she's not even born yet but I already love her, maybe because we have a connection because she's inside me, but I know you'll love her too."
"Maybe when she's born." Spencer said.
"Maybe?" Teddy questioned. "You will love her without a doubt. Just imagine holding your daughter in your arms, holding a piece of you. Now how can you tell me there's a possibility you won't love her?"
"Teddy, you want to make some extra money?" Bob, her father asked.
"Doing what?" Teddy asked.
"I need someone to answer the calls at the Triple B G, while I train the new guy since Vern quit."
"Really dad?" She groaned.
"Come on, Teddy. All you will need to do is answer the calls at the office."
"I don't know, dad. I have to..."
"I'll pay you eight an hour."
"Deal." Teddy smiled.
"Great, everyday after school."
"Yeah. Great."
The following day Teddy began working for her dad at his business. Her father showed her what to do and what to say when she does answer the phone. But unfortunately for Teddy, she didn't realize how disgusting this job would be, hearing about everyone's infestations.
"What's the problem?" "Ants in the kitchen ew, that's gross!" "Yes, I am new. How did you know?" "Okay, um... I'll have somebody call you. Just in the meanwhile go to a movie or something." Teddy hung up and wrote down the information she just received.
"Hey, Teddy." Beau, Bob's new trainee, said, entering the office.
"Hi, Beau. I thought you and my dad weren't coming back until later." Teddy said.
"Yeah, well, there was kind of an incident."
"What happened?" She asked.
"I sort of let off a bug bomb and then got a text."
Teddy's father entered through the door, covered in white powder. "And then he answered the text instead of saying, you having five seconds, Bob."
"Again, I am really sorry, Mr. Duncan." Beau said.
"Hey, a little poison never killed anyone before. Oh yeah, it did! You know what, I'm gonna go home and get cleaned up." Bob left.
"And I'll just assume I'll be working here longer than I thought I would since you're not close to being done trained." Teddy sighed. "And this is really boring. Thanks Beau." She said, sarcastically.
Thanks for reading! And I know what you're thinking, oh Beau is in the story like in everyone else's story. Well I have a plan and it won't be like everyone else's. I won't tell you , though, but keep it a surprise. And also, I know in the summary of this story I said Teddy would have to do it all by herself, she still will, but Spencer will still be in the picture, as in co-parenting with Teddy, which will of course cause conflict, like always. I just thought I'd tell you so one of you won't ask why Teddy is basically forgiving him and all.
Thanks for reading again and remember to review, follow, and favorite! ;D
