Teresa was in the bathroom when she heard knocking.

"What is it?"

"You've been inside for an hour."

"No, I haven't."

Fox sighed, but it seemed that it was an hour.

"Can I come in?"

"No, I'm naked."

"It's not like I haven't seen you that way before."

"And it's not like you remember it either. Go away, Fox."

"Can you at least tell me that you're fine?"

"What makes you think that I'm not feeling good."

"Never mind, I'm going to be in the kitchen."

"No problem."

She closed the tab and listened. There was no noise in the bedroom. She peaked her head out and took a quick look around the room.

"I thought he would never leave."

She picked up the bucket and added some things in it and made her way out of the room and down the stairs.

"Teresa?"

She jumped.

"Why do you always creep up on me like that?"

"Sorry, sis. I'm taking Ethan out and Gwen and her son are also gone. We are out of your hair for the day."

She winked at her and Teresa tried to repress a laughter.

"This is going to be fun..or at least I hope."

"Anyway, we will be back tonight."

Teresa kissed her son who had his blanky in his hands.

"Off you go!"

"Bye T."

She looked at them leave and made her way to the kitchen where Fox was no where in sight.

"There you are. What's in you hands?"

"Nothing, Curious George."

He looked at her and smiled.

"Weren't you supposed to get dressed?"

"I am dressed."

"A bathing suit?"

"Well, yes. I'm going by the pool."

"Alright, maybe I'll join you."

He turned around to go and get changed when something zoomed right passed his head and burst on the wall. He turned around and looked at her not understanding what had just happened. He saw her bent down and something else flew out of her hand.

"What the.."

He ducked and the projectile landed once again on the wall and burst. There was water all over the floor now.

"Never heard of a water balloon fight, Crane?"

He picked up the rubber from the floor and read what was written on it.

"How did you know it was my birthday?"

"You can't hide anything from, Fox."

She picked up another balloon from the bucket.

"That's not fair, you have ammunition and I don't. This is not some snowball fight where the snow is lying on the floor."

He walked toward her and she went around the counter. Just as she was getting ready to fire, the balloon burst in her hands and all over her. Fox started laughing and reached down the bucket that Teresa had left behind her.

"That's not fair these are my ammunitions."

"That's like the Germans telling the Russians not to use their grenades on them when they captured them in Stalingrad."

She had an indignant gasp.

"It's still not fair, you know."

He fired at her.

"Well, Resa..you're the one who came up with this brilliant idea. Obviously, you didn't think it through."

The water balloon landed and burst in her face.

"That's not fair."

"All is fair in war."

She went to the fridge.

"Next thing you're going to tell me is take no prisoners, right?"

"Exactly."

She turned around holding a can of whip cream and chocolate sauce.

"What are you doing with this?"

She shook the can of whip cream.

"I'm taking you advice. I'm taking no prisoners."

With that she pressed the bottle of chocolate sauce in Fox's direction. It was everywhere, on his hair, his face and his shirt.

"You won't get away with this Teresa. You will pay."

"Bring it on Crane. You don't scare me."

They both ran out of the kitchen holding their load in their arms, Fox firing the balloons at Teresa's back which was drenched and she shooting sauce or whip cream. They were running around the pool when Fox tripped and fell in. Teresa cracked laughing as Fox's head surfaced.

"Officer Crane is ready to surrender?"

"You think you're funny?"

"God, you are such a bitter loser!"

He got out of the pool and sat down.

"I will never surrender. In fact, I will run if I were you."

"What?"

"I said run Teresa. Run."

"Oh..."

He started getting up and she ran as fast as she could.

"Really Teresa...I gave you a head start and I still can see you."

"It's not fair, my back really hurts."

Fox stopped and watched her run even faster.

"You are such a liar. Those are traitorous tactics, Teresa."

"All is fair in war Fox. Remember?"

She ran up the stairs and he was right behind her. She went in the first room on the floor.

"You can't hide in my room Teresa, I know every hole in there."

Teresa looked around her.

"Damn it."

She saw the knob turn. She ducked on opposite side of the bed.

"Teresa, where are you?"

She saw him walk inside the bathroom and she got up and just as she started running Fox grabbed her by the shoulder and she fell on his bed. They were both dirty with chocolate sauce. Teresa laughed when she saw Fox's hair and the brown shade in it. She stopped when she saw his serious face.

"What am I going to do with you Teresa?"

"Can you decide this after I've taken my shower."

"Smart move Resa. But I'm not budging."

She looked at him as he paced around the room.

"You can't think of anything, can you?"

He looked at her as she stood on his bed.

"You're not going to jump, are you?"

"No, come here."

He walked up to her and she put her arms around his neck.

"Seriously, happy birthday."

"Thank you. It means the world to me coming from you."

She smiled at him.

"So, what did you get me?"

"You are so spoiled, Fox."

He laughed.

"I got you me for you."

He kissed her and she got off the bed and sat on it pulling him on her. He could feel the heat between them and passion was mounting. She was pulling his shirt off of his and he was doing the same with her beach skirt. He stopped kissing her and gazed in her eyes.

"Are you sure you want this?"

"Yes, more than anything."

"No regrets?"

She shook her head.

"No, no regrets."

He put his lips on hers and they felt passion ignite between them. Fox wondered if it was anything like this when they first got together. He was inside of her when she jumped.

"I remember what happened in Bermuda, Fox." He stopped and looked at her.

"What? Tell me."
