So I can't promise anything sorry if you guys are expecting therox or jaresa, just no inspiration to write them, not yet (maybe) I can't make promises. I hope you guys still continue on reading, please review and tell me if you will contine reading or not. If I don't get any responses i'll wrap this story up, thanks. But if I do get responses... it's not over yet!

Chapter 8

"Tío! Tío! Tío!" Anabelle exclaimed jumping on the bed.

"What is it?" Jake asked.

"Can we go to Mr. Fox's house today!? Can we!? Yestweday was soo fun. He said we couwld eat bweakfast at his houwse." Anabelle said anxiously.

"Yeah of course." Jake replied, smiling to himself.

He was glad that Anabelle liked Fox so much; knowing having to break apart from her wouldn't be that hard on her, because she had someone there for her.

"Okay, we gotta get you showered and ready before we head off anywhere." He told his niece.

About thirty minutes later Jake decided to walk to Raven Hill, savoring every last minute with his niece. Jake couldn't believe how well Anabelle and Fox got along, it was as if they've known each other forever, as if they never missed a day of each others life. This was somewhat relieving to Jake; he just knew soon he would have to part with his niece. Jake totally lost in his thoughts didn't see Anabelle yelling with excitement.

About the same time Jake and Anabelle headed towards the mansion. Miguel decided to go out for a jog to clear his mind about Ethan calling and his sister's death.
---
"Tío Miguel! Tío Miguel!" Anabelle exclaimed noticing him across the street.

"What are you talking Anabelle?" Jake looked at her curiously.

"Anabelle! Jake!" Miguel yelled while crossing the street. "What are you guys doing here?" Miguel asked then thought back to the letter his sister sent him, which had every detail of Fox & her romance with him. "Oh."

"Yeah."

"Heading towards Anabelle's dad's house I see. Mind me going with?"

"No, I don't mind at all." Jake said. "Hey what's your perspective of this Fox guy anyway?" Jake asked wanting to get a second opinion of Fox, thinking his was biased due to Anabelle.

"Well to be honest he's a complete ass, but I guess a good type. I mean when he cares about something he really does put all his effort in it. I think he's just that way because of all the glory Ethan gets, and he does 10 times the better than what Ethan does, but doesn't even get a pat on the back. But I guess he can't be that bad since Theresa fell for him, then again she fell for Ethan. But I'd prefer Fox over Ethan any day, Fox isn't scared of anyone, he has a mind of his own, and won't let anyone manipulate him, unlike Ethan." Miguel explained.

"Well I guess, yesterday I mentioned how he scared Theresa away and how he broke her heart. He went totally nuts on me saying that he loves her and she's the one that left me. I sort of believe him, but I believe Theresa too." Jake said confused.

"Well, I have no idea. She didn't even tell me about Fox till I read the letter. Just Fox is a good guy although he's a complete ass on the outside, it's his facade."

"Hah, Facade." Jake said smiling thinking of Theresa.

"Theresa had a good one didn't she, till she started crying that is." Miguel said laughing.

"Haha tell me about it, she's such a cry baby, crying when she's really upset, crying because she was laughing to hard, and crying because she was more pissed than ever."

"Hah, yeah..." Miguel said also thinking of his sister. "I miss her, and-- yeah, I miss her."

"Me too," Jake added. "Wait, does everyone knows what happened to Theresa?" Jake asked.

"No one asked really. They just think she's dead." Miguel said thinking about it. "I wonder why they didn't ask how she died, that's strange."

"I guess they just accepted it--sometimes...sometimes I don't. I mean it's not like she was murdered just missing."

"Well I have faith still. Let's just tell them her plane crashed on her way to Paris." Miguel suggested. And Jake Agreed.

Fox was up early this morning, anticipating his daughter spending a full day with him. Fox didn't tell anyone about Anabelle, not because he wasn't going to keep her, because he wanted her for himself first, before everyone crowding him with questions.

He had no idea how to plan this day out. If Anabelle were a boy, he could take him to the park play some catch of a variety of sports. He was hoping Jake had some ideas. Just as he got a buzz from Olivia informing him that Anabelle arrived.

"Good Morning." Fox said cheerfully greeting his guest, but changed quickly noticing Anabelle was in her uncle's arms. "Miguel." Fox wasn't expecting Miguel to be there.

"Morning Fox. Sorry I came unannounced; Jake here forgot to tell me he was flying in with Anabelle giving her off to you."

"Its okay, I'm just surprised that's all. I forgot about how close you and Theresa were." He said. "Hey Jake."

"Fox! Fox!" Anabelle said reaching out to Fox.

All three men shocked by how Anabelle eagerly wanted to be in Fox's arms.

"Good morning there tea cup."

"Twea cwup?" Anabelle said with a pout.

"Well you certainly aren't a full cup, or a pot." Fox said examining his daughter while laughing.

"Well..." Anabelle said trying to think of something to say.

"Well case closed, unless you can find a better reason why tea cup doesn't suit you." Fox said with a smirk. "Why don't we head towards the kitchen, for some breakfast?"

Breakfast wasn't the least bit awkward, although Miguel scared that Ivy or Julian would be waltzing downstairs at any moment asking why he was there and who Anabelle and Jake were.

Fox took notice to Miguel's tenseness. "They're out for two weeks." Fox said, cutting pancakes into pieces for his daughter.

"What?" Miguel asked.

"My parents, that's what you're worried about right? They have some charity event, it's a week long."

"Oh. I'm sorry; I just wouldn't know how to explain. I mean my mom doesn't even know yet." Miguel said. "How are you going to handle it? I mean everyone's going to question you, I didn't even know about, you two."

"I haven't thought of it yet." Fox said realizing how much trauma Anabelle is going to endure with all the tabloids.

"Maybe we should think of plan." Jake offered.

"Better yet leave town for a while let Anabelle get used to Fox, and vice versa." Miguel added.

"Yeah, that's a good idea, but instead of leaving temporarily, I was thinking more permanently." Fox said thinking of where to move to, when it hit him that his grandfather offered Fox to be head of Crane Industries in London. "London."

"London?" Miguel and Jake asked at the same time.

"I know it's far, but my grandfather offered me a job there, and it's perfect. It's far away from any tabloid, no nosy parents or residents of Harmony. We could live in peace there. And I know it's far..." Fox said thinking of a solution, "Oh, well I am a Crane, and I will need my own personal Jet to take me to my overseas meetings, so I'm sure my grandfather will be happy to accommodate. And with the jet you two could fly out to see Anabelle any time just call, and we could visit you guys, what do you guys think?" Fox said anxiously hoping for a good response.

"That's perfect." Jake smiled wearily, he was giving up Anabelle. She wasn't just going to be across the country anymore, she was going to be across the world. But it's what Theresa wanted and Fox seems like a great person.

"It's far. But I agree, I can't let Anabelle be exposed to these people, this town killed Theresa and I'll be damned if they had a chance to kill Anabelle. Taking her far from here is the best solution, and what's better than starting in a whole new country?" Miguel said sternly thinking back to all the hurt his sister went through because of the residents in Harmony.

"So it's settled then?" Fox asked and with nods of approval he picked up his daughter and span her around with joy. Fox couldn't wait to start his new life with his daughter, to get to know her, to be a dad, and in some ways to be with Theresa again. He still loved Theresa, but with all this going on in his life he just accepted the fact that Theresa's gone and he had a new life ahead of him.
