Teddy's family left on a short family vacation up to the mountains for the weekend, while she stayed back. Teddy is nearing her due date, which meant she has been getting very uncomfortable and moodier than normal. She now fully understands why her mother was, let's just say it, a bitch during her last few weeks of her pregnancy.

At around six, that night, Teddy started to feel more of her, what she thought, was her Braxton Hicks. But as they continued to get worse, and she started to time them, the contractions she was feeling were getting closer together, which only meant one thing, she was in labor. Teddy always thought labor was when your water breaks, but after reading her baby books, she came to learn your water doesn't have to break to be in labor. It only breaks when the baby is coming.

Teddy immediately called her mother, freaking out, when she was finally convinced she was in labor. Unfortunately for Teddy, her mother didn't answer, probably for poor cell service in the mountains. So next she called her doctor to see if she should head to the hospital now. After telling her doctor how far apart her contractions were, Dr. Mason told Teddy it would be a good time to start heading to the hospital. So after getting off the phone with her doctor, Teddy called Spencer because right now, he's the only person she got, especially with Ivy on a family road trip.

"Spencer?" Teddy was crying because she was scared.

"Teddy? What's wrong?" He asked.

"I need you to take me to the hospital. I'm in labor and everyone's gone and... Owe. Owe. Owe." Teddy received another contraction which caused her to cry more. "Please, Spencer. I can't drive myself and I feel like I'm dying."

"I'll be right over."

With that, Spencer was there within ten minutes, which Teddy was very pleased about. She told him to go down to her room to get her hospital bag and purse, which is next to her closet, and then they left. Teddy was moaning and groaning throughout the car ride, which freaked Spencer out, with him constantly asking if she was okay.

"No I'm not okay, Spencer!" She yelled at him. "I have to push a giant baby out of my tiny vagina! How would you feel if you had to do that?"

"Just... relax, Teddy."

"How about you just shut up until we get to the hospital?" She shot back.

Spencer readjusted himself in his seat and decided it was best not to say another word to Teddy. Both Spencer and Teddy were relieved when they got to the hospital. Spencer dropped Teddy off up front while he went to park his car.

Teddy went into the building and up to the labor and delivery floor. She was given some paper to fill out, which she thought was stupid, but quickly filled it out and then was guided to her room. The nurse handed Teddy a gown to change into and after she did that, that same nurse hooked her up to an IV and a couple of other machines that would measure the baby's heart beat and the contractions.

"I want my mom." Teddy cried. "Call my mom for me."

"Where is she?" Spencer asked.

"My family went..." She stopped when she felt another contraction. "They went up to the mountains for the weekend."

"She probably doesn't have cell service. Maybe my mom should be here."

"I hate you."

"You want my mom? I'll call my mom."

"Don't you dare call your mom! If I can't have my mom then you can't have yours to lean on! And yes, you're going to stay here with me until she is born because you did this to me, so don't think you're leaving!"

"Are those ice chips tasty?" Spencer asked. Teddy glared at him. "How about I just keep quiet?"

"Yeah. Yeah, I think that's a good idea."

Dr. Mason came into the room shortly, to check on Teddy's progression. "Alright, great. Your water broke and you are about seven centimeters dilated, which means you'll be having the baby real soon."

"I have a question." Teddy said. "Are ice chips really the only thing I can consume?"

"Unfortunately, yes. Labor is best on an empty stomach just in case of complications. But you'll be able to eat after the baby is born." Teddy nodded. "Just hang in there."

Teddy turned her head and looked at Spencer. "Do you know I hate you?"

"Yes. I believe you've said it a couple of times." Spencer laughed.

"Well that's because I do."

At midnight, Teddy was told she could start pushing, which she was terrified of. She was pushing off and on for an hour and at 1:13 AM, on Saturday, June 28th, Gemma was born, weighing six pounds, eight ounces.

"Oh my gosh." Teddy cried, cradling her newborn daughter in her arms. She kissed Gemma on the top of her head. "Oh my gosh..."

At around eight that morning, Spencer's mother showed up to the hospital, while she was doing skin to skin with Gemma and eating her breakfast. Also that morning, Teddy finally got a hold of her mother and told her she had the baby that night. Amy was both happy and sad to hear that; happy because the baby is here, but sad that she missed the birth of her granddaughter and wasn't there for Teddy.

Teddy told her mother to stay the rest of the weekend, because they're supposed to come back the following night and that she'll be fine since she has to stay in the hospital for a day and head home the next.

"I don't need you now, Spencer." Teddy said. "You can go."

"You can't get rid of me that easy." He laughed. Spencer grabbed the baby from Teddy. "You see how she is to me, mom? She's not as sweet as you think."

"Spence, she just had a baby and very hormonal." Linda said. "What do you expect?"

"Yeah, Spencer." Teddy smiled at him. "I'm hormonal. Give me my little Gem back."
