Spencer:POV

We landed in Hawaii yesterday, and it's been a nightmare. As soon as we landed, Kate started complaining about her ears being clogged, after I specifically told to chew gum, to keep that from happening, but, no, they didn't have strawberry flavored gum,

so it was out of the question. After that, she started complaining about the place that we were staying at there,

not having a pool...

I kid, you not, we are literally staying in Hawaii, surrounded by the ocean, and she complains about the hotel not having a pool. Welcome to my world. After that, she complained, about them not having a mall. *sigh*. Then She started complaining about how it's

too warm. Isn't my life great (note sarcasm).

Teddy would have never complained. She would have thanked me about every five minutes, while I would say how much she deserves it. We would walk around the beach, while I would keep saying how beautiful she, then she would blush, and look at the ground. I would pull some of her hair out from her face and slowly lean in and-

"Spency, I want to go tan, come

on!" Kay said dragging me out

of the hotel room.

"Okay, honey." I sighed, and walked out of the room. If Teddy was here, she would ask me what was wrong. She grabbed my arm and dragged through the hall way.

I stared down at the floor as I walked. Why did I even take her here? It's obvious she doesn't like it here, I should have just asked her were she wanted to go. Teddy would have loved it here...

Ivy:POV

I froze.

How did she find out? Did Derek tell her at the court house? I swear, if he did... Well, its know or never. "Well, I shoplifted. Derek, when the baby was born, he didn't support me at all. He remained living in his own apartment, and never gave me so much as a dime. It was wasn't really big stuff either, just onzies, bottles, pacifiers, and small things like that." I explained.

"That's still not okay." Teddy mumbles.

"I know. I didn't have much of a choice though. And I did not want to give her up for adoption." I say tearing up. It really was hard. Not knowing what could happen to you or your baby...I don't even have a job for gods sake! And me and my mother don't talk anymore... "I guess I understand. You did it for your daughter." Teddy sighed.

"Thanks for understanding Teddy." I say, relieved.

Well that just lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders. Teddy stood up and and started to walk to the door. "Where are you going?" I ask, standing up.

"I'm gonna go write my vows." She sighs.

"Good luck with that." I chuckle.

"Thanks." She mumbles, and walks out the door.

Teddy:POV

I drudged over to my hotel room, and grabbed a notebook, and pencil. Well, this is gonna take a while.

TOMORROW...

I woke up, and looked down at the Empty sheet of paper under my hand. I mean, it is pretty impossible, to write a whole speech about loving a person you don't love. I sighed, and then stretched. I looked over and saw that Charlie was awake, so I picked her up, and made her some cereal. I yawed, and checked the time: 8:30 AM. I picked Toby up, and placed in a high chair, and have him a bowl of Cheerios.

Finally, I made two peices of toast for myself. I silently ate at the counter,

while down at my phone. I was looking for new songs to buy. I finished my toast, and took Toby out

of his high chair, and set him on my bed. Charlie got off her seat, and walked over to me. "Can we do something today?" Charlie's small voice asks me. "What would you like to do?" I asked bending down to her level.

"Well there's a luau (LOO-OW) tonight. We can swim, go to the luau, or, I can take you and Toby to a daycare." I said to Charlie.

"Daycare!" She shouts, clapping her small hands together.

"Well okay then...lets get you and Toby dressed!" I smiled. I dressed Charlie in a pink floral skirt, and a pink flower pattern tank top, with pink crocs, while Toby had a blue button up short sleeve shirt, with jean shorts, and brown sandals. While I, was wearing a red floral dress, with red rose sandals

"Ready to go?" I asked them as I made my way toward the door. They both nodded, and followed close behind me. I opened the door, and went right into Ivy's room. She was up, and dressed, along with Teddy. "Let's go." I said to her.

"Where are we going?" She asked looking up at me. "We're gonna drop the kids off, while we have some fun!- Oh that sounded wrong..." I mumble the last part. Ivy chuckles, then grabs Teddy. "Alright, lets go."

Ivy says, and we head out the door.

We walked through the hall, and down to the lobby. The doorman opened the door for up, and we thanked him. A warm breeze came to my face, and I sighed in happiness. I looked around, and saw littles kids smiling, couples holding hands, and families spending time together, and for a second it made me forget about all the terrible things in my life. I smiled.

I truly did feel happy, something I haven't felt in a long time. Something that I have missed terribly. We walked over to the daycare, apparently called, "Miss Suzy's Little Guppies". The outside of the building, has a huge cartoon mural of the ocean all over it. When we walked, there were dark blue carpet floors, and another ocean mural on the inside. We walked up to reception, and I rung the bell. A second later, a black haired women came up to me. "Why hello. How many Guppies do you have?" She smiled. She looked about 24.

"Two. One female four year old, and a male fifteen month old." I responded.

"Any allergies, or special needs?" She asked.

"Nope." I say and smile

"What are their names?" She asks me.

"Charlie and Toby." I respond.

"Okay! Follow me Charlie and Toby!" She smiles, leading them into another room.

"We're free!" I scream, and ran out of the building, while Ivy laughs and runs after me. "What do you wanna do first?" I asked Ivy.

"Well, how about, we go buy a swim suit, and go swim at the beach?" Ivy suggests.

"Sounds great, lets go!" I say, and started skipping in the direction of the gift shop. Ivy shakes her head and laughs, as she follows behind me.

I walked through the entrance, and looked at my surroundings. Is it possible for a gift shop to be this huge? I walked over to the bathing suit section with Ivy, as we looked at two pieces. This really will be the last time I'll be able to have fun, since tomorrow I'll be married to Josh. "What about this one?" Ivy asked me, holding up a glittery zebra one piece. "I think it's very...you." I smile, and give her a nod.

"Alright, I'm getting this one then." Ivy smiled. I kept on looking through all the bathing suits, until I found the perfect one. Well that sounded painfully cheesy... Any way, it was a light blue ruffled tow piece.

"What do you think of this one?" I asked Ivy. "It's perfect for you!" Ivy said cheerfully. "Well then, lets go pay for 'em." I smile.
