Summary: Fox and Theresa are together but not without a few complications. They have to keep it a secret until they are ready to make it public but what happens when someone finds out and who does.

"Give it to me!" exclaimed Theresa as she tried to jump and reach her car keys.

"Say please, step-mommy," Fox said in a mocking tone as he held the keys in the air as he continued to laugh. When she jumped for them she landed wrong on her heel and fell to the ground.

"Oww!" Theresa cried in pain trying to hold back tears. Fox immediately dropped to her side.

"Are you ok?" he asked looking at her ankle which was starting to swell a little around her shoe strap which made the pain even worse for her. He touched it and she screamed in pain.

"Does it look like I'm ok?" Theresa said shakily, tears streaming down her face. She tried to get up but knew it was a battle that she wasn't going to win. She finally gave up and even more tears streaked her face and a strand of hair fell from her bobby pin and onto her face.

He brushed it aside and stroke hr cheek, wiping away the tears. She looked up at him and was caught off guard when he picked her up and carried her towards the mansion as she protested that she had to get to work or lose this account.

"Look," Fox said walking up the stairs. "You can't go to work with a sprained ankle and if you did you wouldn't make it in the building like this."

As he walked down the hall towards her room they spotted Ethan.

"What the hell are you doing?" Ethan asked Fox as they reached Theresa's room. Gwen beside him making a disgusted face towards Theresa.

Theresa answered before Fox could open his mouth. "I sprained my ankle outside." She looked at Fox as she said this. "He was helping me up to my room." She looked at Ethan. "Why would you care anyways?"

Everyone looked at him, waiting for an answer with Gwen looking especially mad.

"Yeah, Ethan," Gwen asked him, furiously. "Why do you care?"

He ignored his wife and continued to look at Theresa and Fox. "I know what you're capable of," Ethan said looking straight at Fox then back at Theresa. "I didn't want him taking advantage of you."

"Oh come on, Ethan," Fox exclaimed. "Don't tell me you're jealous that I'm the one carrying Theresa and not you." Fox looked at Gwen. "I mean you have this gorgeous woman at your side." Gwen smiled, taking in the compliment while Theresa just rolled her eyes. "Are you really that selfish?"

"I'm not jealous or selfish," Ethan replied defending himself. "But if you try anything I'll kill you. Get the picture."

"No not really," he said calmly. "When did I ever consider you a threat? You know that if anyone gets killed around here you'd be the dead one." They looked at each other with fury in their eyes.

"Ok look," Theresa said trying to break up the argument. "My ankle hurts really, really bad, ok. So if you and Gwen wouldn't mind running along so Fox can help me to my room, and Ethan I'm a big girl I can take care of myself."

"Yes Ethan, let's go," Gwen said agreeing with Theresa. "We are already late as it is and she can take care of herself." She pulled his arm and they went off.

"Remember what I said Fox, I'll kill you if you so much as touch her!" Ethan called to Fox as he walked down the hall with Gwen.

Fox rolled his eyes as he walked into Theresa's room and laid her down on her bed. "Why don't I get someone to help you," Fox offered feeling guilty by what he caused to happen and for, probably, making her lose an account. "I'll call a doctor." He picked up the phone by the bed.

"No that won't be necessary," Theresa said taking the phone from him and placing it gently back on the holder. "I don't think it's broken and the pain is going away." "Not," she thought looking down she saw that her shoe strap was caught in the swelling. She tried to get up to take it off but it was no use. Her body wasn't going to let her win this battle either.

"Here, let me," Fox offered and very gently took her black strap heel shoe off her foot. "I'm going to get some ice to help the swelling go down." She was about to protest when he said "I'll be right back."

Theresa smiled as he left, remembering last night.

"We can't keep doing this" Theresa said putting down her book realizing Fox had just woke up.

"Doing what?" he asked innocently, knowing what she was talking about.

"You know what I mean," she said turning her head his way. Her long hair falling over her shoulder.

"No, I don't," he said curiously. "Explain it to me."

She looked at him with seriousness yet concern in her eyes "What if someone finds out."

"Like who?" he asked. "Your mother, Luis, Julian, no one or nothing could come between us. I love you." Did I just say I loved her? Yes I did and it felt good and I'll say it again. "I love you. I love you, Theresa."

Tears filled her eyes.

"I'm sorry" Fox said. "I didn't mean to upset you. I'll just leave now." He begun to get up.

"No you didn't," Theresa said with a tear rolling down her face ever so slowly and she pulled him back down beside her. "Can't you see? I'm not sad, I'm happy. I feel wonderful and I... I love you too." A wide smile appeared on her face. "I love you so much"

He came down and kissed her and she opened her mouth and deepened the kiss. They both leaned back and began their climb back to the top and fell asleep in each others arms.

She was instantly snapped back to reality when she felt something cold touch her ankle. "Oww," Theresa yelped.

"Sorry," Fox said taking the ice pack away from her ankle. "I didn't mean to hurt you."

"No," Theresa said taking the ice pack and gently placing it back on her ankle. "You just surprised me. Plus it's really cold." She let out a laugh.

Fox smiled. He loved the way a smile can just brighten up his day and melt his heart all at the same time. It was priceless.

He was snapped back to reality when he heard Theresa laugh.

"What's wrong?" she asked, a big smile on her face. "You look like the most amazing thing just happened to you."

"It did," he thought. "You are the most thing that's ever happened to me."

"Hello," Theresa said laughing waving her hand in front of his face. "Earth to Fox. What's wrong?"

"Nothing step-mommy," Fox told her leaning closer. "But when I looked at you, I thought I saw an angel."

She didn't have a chance to reply because at that moment he bridge the gap that was an inch and kissed her. It wasn't a kiss, she realized, it was a symbol of his love and when she kissed him back she felt nothing but their love and heard noting but his voice whispering sweet nothings into her ears as he carefully leaned her back onto the bed making sure he didn't touch her ankle.

They spent the day making love over and over and falling asleep in each others arms.

Then they heard a voice that woke them up with a start. "Oh my god!"
