“As beautiful as ever — and I’m
not just saying that because I’m
your mother.”

As Delia listened to Teddy’s outline of the perfect
life, she couldn’t help but wonder about specific
parts of it. Assuming that she and Gabe actually
had a future together, did he really want to be a
surgeon as much as she’d always dreamed of it?
Would he even want children of his own? And
more importantly ones that were half her?

                “If I’m going to have these two babies so close together,
                all you grandparents had better be ready to do a bunch
                of babysitting. But not t o o much spoiling.” When she’d
                find the time, Delia wasn’t sure, but she was determined
                not to settle. It was going to be easy, but she was going
                to have both a family and a legacy worthy career. “Wow,
                way to share us with the in-laws there. No, but seriously
                though. We can only come over for dinner if you promise
                me that you’ll leave all the necessary cooking up to Dad.”

“Now,  that’s  just  mean,”  Teddy laughed 
— a  r e a l ,  joyful  laugh  that came from
her heart. Only two people in the  w o r l d
could  ever  make her laugh like that,  and
it was so good to have the  worries  of  the
future   rest  gentle  on  her mind  for once.
“I’m not  t h a t  bad a cook.  I  mean, I can
carve  a  turkey  like   nobody’s  business
— that  has  to count for something, right?”

                “And who says you get a say  in  how  much  spoiling
                we’ll be doing? I’ll be a  N a n a — nothing’s going  to
                get  in the way of me and my little angels.”  Suddenly,
                a realization dawned upon her;  Teddy  felt  her smile
                slip  away,  only  to  be replaced by  h o r r o r . “Oh,
                god.  You  mean I’m going to have to put up with Alex
                Karev  until  I’m  old and  gray? Sorry, wedding’s off,”
                she chuckled, a grin spreading across her face.
