"I'll be right back, Beau." Bob said, heading towards the kitchen.
Beau sat down in a chair as he waited for Bob to return. "Hey, Teddy."
"Kind of busy, here." Teddy said, trying to finish her college apps. The doorbell rang and she stopped what she was doing to get it. "Hey, come on in."
"Thanks." Spencer headed inside and followed Teddy to the couch. "Who's this?"
"Oh. This is my dad's employee, Beau. He's about to leave with my dad and then it'll be just us." Teddy handed Gemma to him. "So I just need you to keep an eye on her while I finish my essay. She'v been distracting me like crazy, always wanting to be held."
"No problem. So what-"
"Alright, Beau, got it." Bob said, coming back into the room. "Spencer. What are you doing here?"
"He's here to watch his daughter while I finish my college apps, dad. You do want me to go to college, don't you?" Teddy asked.
"You better go."
"How about we go, Mr. Duncan." Beau said. He was obviously jealous that Spencer there with Teddy, especially when he thought Spencer wasn't going to be better looking than him.
"So where is everyone?" Spencer asked when they left. "Your house is usually much more rowdy."
"Mom's on a playdate with Charlie and Toby, and Gabe is next door with his girlfriend."
"Playdate, huh? When are we gonna go on that date?"
"What date?" Teddy asked, glancing up from her computer.
"The one you agreed to go on with me." He said.
"Can this count as it?" She asked.
"Teddy, come on... How about tonight when you finish... A celebration for surviving college apps?"
"If I agree, will you shut up and let me focus?" She asked.
"Yes."
"Fine. Then yes."
Spencer smiled. "Perfect."
"So who are you texting?" Spencer asked, noticing Teddy on her phone.
"Nobody." She quickly replied.
"It's that guy you went on a date with, isn't it?"
"We're just friends... Sort of."
"You and him?" He asked.
Teddy didn't immediately answer. "Why would it matter to you if we are or not unless you're jealous... You're jealous, aren't you?"
Spencer didn't answer. "Just put the phone down. It's rude to be talking to another guy when you're on a date with this guy."
"Fine, but only because you're jealous." She smiled, picking Gemma up out of her car seat and holding her in her arms.
"Why did she have to tag along?" He asked. "She's such a third wheel."
"Because she's our daughter... Take it or leave it, we're a package deal. If we're hanging out, you better bet she's going to be hanging out with us. Oh and just for you to know, this is the only date we will ever go on for now on. You hurt me and I'm not going to let you hurt me again, or Gemma."
"It was a mistake, Teddy."
"No. Dating you was a mistake."
Sorry for a short chapter! Had writer's block for this one cause I wasn't that sure what to include and where to take it, without Teddy somehow forgiving him and secretly getting back with him... I was thinking of doing that, debating it, actually, but I opted out on it.
Also, I changed the name of the story. I decided I liked 'A Baby At 17' more than 'Her Imperfect Life'
Thanks for reading! Review, follow, favorite! ;D
