Hey! Here's part 2 of 'Things Happen For A Reason'. I hope you enjoy it, hopefully it isn't too sad! I tried to make the sad moments not so sad! :P

And in the last chapter when Teddy and Spencer were explaining to Hope that her and her siblings were born before Teddy and Spencer were married, I really hope everything made sense!

And I don't usually space the part 1 & part 2 chapters so far apart, but I kind of messed up on that last chapter, so we're going to where Teddy is 8 and ½ months pregnant. But everything from last chapter still happened, and she was still 6 months, now she's about 8 and ½. Okay? Okay.

And with her being 8 and ½ months, that means the baby will be here around ANY TIME. Emphasis on the ANY TIME. So get to voting on that poll! Oh yeah, and reviewing this chapter! :P xD


Chapter 15 -Things Happen For A Reason Part 2-

8 & ½ MONTHS- MAY 22ND- 10:00 A.M.- TEDDY POV-

"Hey Spence, wanna go see if the mail is here yet?" I ask after taking a drink of my orange juice.

"Sure. I'll be right back." He says before getting his coat on and stepping outside into the cold December weather.

"Here you go." Spence says handing me the mail after he gets in and takes his coat off.

"Oh, this is for you. It's from-" Then I stop.

"Who?"

"I- it's from Sullivan's friend, Jesse. Wasn't he at the funeral with us?"

"Yeah, he was. What's it about?"

"I don't know, here, you read it." I say giving him the letter.

Dear Spencer,

As you're reading this, you might want to know why I'm sending you this letter. As you know, Sullivan died a while ago. Well, his wife, Rebecca Walsh, was remarried. To a guy named Nathan Webb. But she didn't change her last name. He was really nice, funny, and he cared a lot about her and Teddy. She was also pregnant again. The other day they all went out for a drive. But when they were turning, a truck crashed into them. Instantly killing all of them. But they managed to save the baby. She was 8 and ½ months pregnant, with a baby girl. She's still unnamed because they didn't know the gender. Rebecca said previously to me that if anything happened to them, they wanted you to have the kids. And so you get full custody of the baby. If you want her. I'm really sorry about everything. I would take her, but I'm going to propose to my girlfriend, Kate, and she's pregnant. We've got a lot on our plates, and I know you'll take great care of her. Or another family, much better than we can now.

I'm sorry I'm dropping this on you so fast, but by the time you get this letter, she'd be about 4 days old. She still doesn't have a name. The least you could do, if you can't take her in, is give her a name. Please get back to me ASAP.

Thanks,
Jesse.

"Rebecca remarried to a guy named Nathan. Teddy, Rebecca, and Nathan are dead. They had a baby girl." Spence says folding up the letter once again.

"Spence, I- I'm so sorry."

"It's okay."

"What's the baby's name?" I ask.

"She doesn't have one yet. Rebecca, Nathan, and Teddy died on impact and surprisingly the doctor saved the baby. She's about 4 days old. Jesse wants me to take her into custody. Or at least give her a name."

"What are you gonna do?"

"I don't know Teddy. Should I?"

"Well, we could. But it's up to you Spence."

"It's up to you too Teddy. We're a team in this."

"I wouldn't mind having another baby."

"What about this one?" Spence asks putting a hand on my stomach.

"We've taken care of twins in their terrible twos and newborn triplets at the same time. I'm pretty sure we can take care of two more newborns again." I say.

"Okay. We'll do it."

"Won't you have to go and do a whole court thing?"

"Yeah. And if you want to be her legal mother, you do too."

"So, we just have my mom take care of the kids, and we go do it?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. Are you sure you're not too upset Spence?"

"I'm sure. I'm fine."

"I'm sorry."

"It's not your fault, Teddy."

"That doesn't mean I can't be sorry."

"I know. Should we tell the kids later?" Spence asks.

"Yeah. When they get home, after they're done with their homework we'll tell them." I say.

"Okay." Spence agrees.

"Spence, what if I go into labor when the kids are here, but you're at work?"

"Call me. I know I'm not allowed to have my phone on at work, but I'm sure my boss will allow it if you're in labor."

"Okay." I say.

"How have you been feeling?"

"Pretty good. This one just keeps kicking though. I'm just anxious to know the gender." I say pointing to my stomach. Then Spencer smiles.

"Well, as long as he or she is healthy along with you, I don't really care if it's a boy or a girl. Holy crap, the baby just heard me call it it."

"Spence, you're fine. Don't freak out. That's my job." I say.

"Isn't it always the woman's job?" Spence says then laughs.

"Excuse me?" I say seriously.

"I was just kidding." He says looking scared.

"Good." I say.

"So, what do you want to do?"

"I don't know. We should probably get another crib. Because we're getting another baby."

"Yeah. Wanna run to the store with me?" I ask.

"Sure." Spencer says.

AT STORE- TEDDY POV-

"We should get another blue crib, so that they match." I say.

"Okay. Let's go." Spence says before we go into the store.

"Is this the one we have?" Spence asks pointing to the one we have.

"Yeah. Can you grab it?" I ask.

"No, I'm going to let you grab it. Even though you're 8 and ½ months pregnant." Spence says sarcastically.

"Spence, I'm serious."

"Sorry." He says reaching for the box.

"It's okay." I say.

"Well, let's go. Anything else for her?"

"Maybe some clothes."

"Okay."

HOME- TEDDY POV-

"Well, we got everything we needed. And we're back in time for the kids to be home in about 5 minutes." Spence says as he gets in the house and shuts the door.

"Yep."

"We're home!" The kids say getting through the door.

"Hi kids." I say.

"Hey kiddos." Spence says.

"Hi mom, hi dad." Liv says.

Hey mom and dad. Xander says.

"Hey dad, hey mom." Elliot says.

"Hi mom and dad. How was your day?" Rosie and Hope say in unison.

"Good." Spence says.

"It was good." I say.

"How's my little sister?" Liv asks.

"Liv, the baby might now be a girl." I say to Liv.

"How's my little brother?" Xander asks.

"The baby might not be a boy, Xander." I say to Xander.

"What's left?" Elliot says.

"Haha, very funny. We decided to keep this gender a secret this time." I say.

"Yeah. And, uh. We have some things to tell you kids." Spence says.

"Yeah." I say.

"Take it away Teddy." Spence says.

"Fine. Well, you remember us telling you about aunt Rebecca and your cousin Teddy?" I say.

"Yeah, isn't their pictures on the wall?" Olivia asks.

"Yeah, um. She was married again, and was gonna have a baby. They all went for a drive, and were hit by a car. They all died, but the baby was saved. The baby is a girl, but doesn't have a name. And we were wondering, if you'd be okay with it, if we had two babies, instead of one." I say.

"It's okay with me. I mean, that's sad, though. But I'd like to have another little sister. Right guys?" Olivia says.

"Yeah." The kids agree.

"Okay. Thanks. We'll choose another name for her." I say.

"Okay." The kids all say.

"Go ahead and do your homework now kids." Spence says. Then the kids all go up to their rooms.

"So, do you know when the court date is going to be?" I ask Spencer.

"No, I sent Jesse the letter earlier today that said we'd take her in. He'll hopefully reply soon." Spence says.

"Okay. What do you think she'll look like Spence?"

"As long as she's healthy, I don't really care what she looks like." Spence replies.

"Well, did Jesse say anything in the letter about her having any problems?" I ask.

"No." He answers.

"Well, then she's most likely fine." I say reassuring him.

"Yeah." He says.

"I still feel bad for her, not going to know her real parents…"

"You know what everyone says Teddy… Things happen for a reason." Spencer says then kisses me.


So? How was it? Good? Bad? Horrible? I had to hurry up and finish this chapter so I could figure out what I'm gonna be for Halloween. xD Yeah, yeah. I know. I'm almost able to drive, and I still dress up for Halloween.
