Disclaimer: I don't own Teddy or Henry. Or any of the other Grey's characters. I only own a hideous bridesmaid dress (staring at me from the back of my door), this crappy old laptop (can't be moved more than 3 feet from an outlet due to the fact that if you unplug it, it dies), and 3 very annoying dogs (currently all taking up every inch of space on my bed). I can only dream of owning something as awesome as Teddy, Henry, or anything having to do with Grey's Anatomy…

A/N: Hi! Thank you all so much for the reviews! I'm so glad that this story is so well liked! I'm so so so so SO a million times sorry for the insanely long wait for this chapter. :( I had planned to try and update roughly once a week, but I had some writer's block and just couldn't write for crap. Then I went on vacation, then my dad both came home on leave from the Air Force, then one of my brother's got engaged, then I went to visit my grandparents, & then my lovely bestfriend surprised me by coming home on leave from the Army! (I could kill him for stopping my heart though) Don't get me wrong, I'm over the moon with happiness right now! But it all sure did put a halt to my writing. For which I will be sorry about forever I think, due to the simple fact that I feel like I've let you all down and none of these happenings are actually good excuses. So, once again I'm INSANELY, INCREDIBLY, HONESTLY, SORRY! Hopefully this chapter is somewhat good and can live up to everyone's expectations!

I would also like to thank Kashtien James, who has agreed to be my sounding board for this story! She hasn't started yet, but I'm thanking her for agreeing to help me (if she still wants to after my long unexcused absence), hopefully she won't get sick of me. If you guys haven't read her stories, I would highly recommend them! She writes some great Teddy/Henry fics!

Thanks again for all your patience and reviews! They are so appreciated!

Chapter 2: Home Sweet Home

Teddy walked into the hospital with a smile, today Henry was finally coming home. It had been two weeks since his procedure and he had been doing great. Richard continued to say how impressed he was with Henry's progress, but Teddy had expected it. She knew he was great and would have no problem with the adjustments. Over the past two weeks Teddy and Henry had been getting to know each other, they spent hours talking and laughing with each other. And finally today she was going to get to take him home. She made her way up to his room, still smiling.

"How is he doing today?" she asked the nurse at the station before she went in. She smiled at Teddy.

"Oh you know how he is." She laughed.

"He's doing great though. Very good mood today." The nurse said with a wink. Teddy laughed and thanked the nurse before walking to Henry's room.

"Hey." She smiled, leaning against his doorway. He looked up and a smile appeared on his face.

"Hey yourself."

"So, are you ready to get out of here?" she asked as she moved into his room. She placed a quick kiss on his lips before he answered.

"More than ready. The question is, are you ready?" he asked winking. She blushed slightly and nodded, sitting down on his bed, as Richard walked in with Dr. Bailey and the younger Dr. Grey.

"Hello Henry, Dr. Altman." Richard said with a smile and nod to the couple. The pair smiled and nodded in return to all the doctors.

"Well Henry, your morning labs and vitals were perfect, as normal." Dr. Bailey said.

"I don't see any reason to keep you here any longer. Dr. Grey here will go over your discharge instructions and papers with you and then you'll be free to go. I hope not to see you again anytime soon, as a patient of course, in this hospital Mr. Burton!" she said with a smile and wave as she left the room. Richard stepped up next.

"Just wanted to see you off, and wish you luck." He said shaking Henry's hand.

"Thank you Dr. Webber. I really appreciate you putting me on your trial."

"Now just remember that you'll have to come back in three to four weeks to make sure that everything is okay and going well." Richard said as he looked from Henry to Teddy, both nodded in understanding.

"Chief, I just wanted to thank you." Teddy said.

"It really means so much to me, to us, that you put Henry on the trial. We're so grateful for this opportunity." Richard smiled and nodded.

"Of course. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a meeting. Good luck, and see you in several weeks." He smiled as he headed out of the room.

"Alright then Mr. Burton." Lexie said as she stepped up.

"Let's get started so you can get out of here. Now, you'll need to take it easy for the next week. No heavy lifting, try and relax as much as possible, and uhhh…no…strenuous activities…"she said blushing slightly as she placed the forms on the table for them to sign. Teddy blushed a deep scarlet as well at the obvious implications that the younger doctor had been making. Henry just chuckled and signed the papers then passed them to Teddy to sign.

"Okay then, you're free to go. But make sure you still monitor your blood sugar levels just to be on the safe side. And good luck Mr. Burton." Lexie said as she smiled and left the room.


A half an hour later Teddy pushed open the front door of Henry's apartment. Throwing the keys, her purse and the wet umbrella on the floor beside the door; she turned back to Henry and put an arm around his waist, which caused him to laugh at her.

"I can walk Teddy. I'm not going to fall over."

"Shushhh!" she scolded him again. She felt like she had been doing it ever since they left his hospital room.

"The doctors said you have to take it easy and relax. So that's exactly what you're going to do for the next week. And I'm going to make sure of it. Now, bed or couch?"

"Couch. But you're a doctor and you know that I'm perfectly fine walking!"

Teddy shook her head as she moved him to the couch and helped him get comfortable. She tried to hide the smile that was slowly creeping across her face. Her attempt was made nearly impossible when Henry tugged her down onto his lap.

"Listen here Mrs. Burton." he said as he held her captive on his lap.

"Just because I need to take it easy for the next few days, doesn't mean that I'm a complete invalid. I can walk."

"Okay but I just think it would be smart if you didn't until tomorrow." She started, but she stopped when she saw the look he was giving her.

"Fine." She conceded with a sigh.

"But this is not over, Mr. Burton. You may have won this battle but you haven't won the war."

Henry wrapped his arms tight around her waist and buried his face in her hair, loving the smell and the softness against his skin.

"Of course not, I wouldn't expect anything less." He breathed.
