Chapter Two: Nightcaps and Bottles
"So what's it like being home Fox?" Theresa was cradling Little Ethan in her arms and was feeding him his bottle. She sat looking at Fox wondering what his story was. Why did Julian and Ivy look displeased that he was home. Why did he just now come home after years of traveling.
Fox was pouring the champagne into two flutes when Theresa asked the question. He was wondering the same thing. "Feels the same and yet feels different." he handed her a flute. "Why don't we toast to something?"
"What should we toast to?" she asked.
"How about to new friends? I think this is the start to a beautiful friendship." Fox said raising his glass to hers, and tapping the glass he said, "To new friends."
"To new friends." Theresa tapped his glass and sipped her champagne.
"So you and my brother, huh? Doesn't it feel weird living in the same house with him and his wife?" Fox inquired to Theresa.
"Oh so you think you know about me." Theresa crossed her leg over her other and leaned towards Fox. She was eager to hear what he said.
Fox raised his glass and took another sip of champagne. He looked at Theresa as if he could see into her soul and said, "I know you and Ethan had a past. In fact the hold world knows thanks to the invention of journalists, tabloids, and paparazzi. I mean it wasn't so long ago that you and Ethan were engaged to be married. Well that was until his true paternity as Sam Bennett's son was exposed. And then what did you do Theresa? You chased after Julian in the Bahamas to reinstate Ethan as the heir to the Crane Empire. But you didn't convince him did you. Instead you ended up marrying my father, and becoming Mrs. Julian Crane. And bringing back a little souveneir to boot. My new half-brother Little Ethan Martin Crane, who you named after your ex-fiancee." he paused looking at her more intently. "Furthermore you convinced Julian to let Ethan and Gwen stay here. As far as everyone's concerned Theresa you, my dear are not over Ethan yet." he finished.
Theresa stood and approached where Fox was sitting. "Well let me tell you, Nicholas Foxworth Crane I am completely over Ethan. I named my son after Ethan because he not only delivered him into this world but saved his life and mine. Yes I did go to Julian in hopes of reinstating Ethan's inheritance. I didn't intend on marrying him nor did I want to sleep with him and become pregnant with his child. He is the one who decided to get me drunk and seduce me. After he married and impregnated me while I was under the influence he then continued on an affair with Rebecca right under my nose in my house. The only good thing that Julian ever gave me was my son, and he is letting Ethan and Gwen stay here."
Fox looked at Theresa not sure if he believed her and asked, "Why? If you're over him why would you care if Ethan and Gwen couldn't live here?"
"Do you remember that old adage "Keep your friends close but your enemies closer" Fox?" she said.
Fox thought for a moment and laughingly said, "Yes. How could I forget it was a line in one of my favorite movies, The Godfather."
"Well Gwen is my enemy if she stays here with Ethan then I can keep a watchful eye on her. And Ethan is more of a father figure to my son than his own father." Theresa stated.
"I can understand that. So you don't have any ulterior motives. That's good!" Fox said with a smile.
"Why so happy, Fox?" Theresa asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Like I said earlier I think this is the start to a beautiful new friendship." Fox winked at Theresa. He smiled flashing his pearly whites and said, "Now how about we finish our drink and we both get some shut-eye."
Theresa smiled and raised her glass of champagne to him. "I like the sound of that." She took another sip and swallowed the bitter sweetness of the champagne. "You know what Fox I do believe that you and I will become great friends."
"You know it!" he exclaimed.
