"Coming!" Theresa yelled as someone knocked on the dressing room door in the mansion. Tonight Ivy was throwing a town dance and Theresa had to help. She opened the door to see Fox standing there in a tux. "You look nice." she said smiling.
"You can say the same about yourself." he said kissing her.
"Hey." she said pulling him into the room. "Someone could see us! We have to save it for in here."
Fox sighed, ''I hate keeping this in private, I want everyone to know how we feel about each other."
Theresa sighed too, "Hey, I know but..."
"But what?" Fox asked poking out his lip.
"Luis for starters would be upset, Mama would think that I'm moving on too soon, and I still want to keep things quiet because the media might get to it and Tony might know where I am..." she said drifting off.
Fox growled, "I wish I could kill that guy."
"Who? Tony?"
"Yeah," he said, "he's put you through all of this and I hate seeing you not being able to relax a lot because you have to watch your back."
"Don't worry about me, I'm fine." Theresa said happy that Fox was concerned about her.
"No, I am worried about you. I can't help it because I love you."
"Aww!!" Theresa said smiling. She gave Fox a quick kiss, "I love you too, and its about time for the dinner to start."
"Oh, yeah. THE dinner as mother always says." he said rolling his eyes.
"I'm going to go check on Little Ethan in the nursery and I'll be right there." Theresa said.
"Don't be too long."
"I won't."

Tony entered the Crane Mansion. He had put on a fake mustache so that no one would be able to recognize him. He had been thinking about how he would be able to talk to Theresa and he found a poster about the dinner Ivy was hosting. If the Crane's knew that he was Tony expecially a DiMetti, they would have him kicked off. His father hated Alistair and made it his mission to make their lives miserable. It made him even angrier to know that the mother of Tony's child was messing around with one. He walked into the party, prepared to turn it upside down.

"That didn't take too long, now did it?" Theresa whispered in Fox's ear.
Fox jumped because he didn't hear her coming up behind her and Theresa laughed.
"Now you see how I feel all those times you scare me like that."
Fox grinned, "Okay, you got me good."
Theresa scanned the crowd for Ivy and saw her talking to a strange man that she hadn't seen before. "He must be a new resident in Harmony." she said to herself.
"Where do you work?" Ivy said asking the stranger questions.
He cleared his throat, "I uh, I'm a pediatrician at the local hospital."
"Oh really? I assume you must know Dr. Russell then?" she said.
"Yeah." he said absentmindedly. He was trying to find Theresa but this woman kept asking him questions.
"My assistant has been looking for a good pediatrician for her son." Ivy said trying to gain his attention.
"That's nice." he said still not paying attention.
"Yes. Her son is such a joy, Little Ethan. Theresa is such a good mother." she said reminiscing.
Tony looked at her at the mention of his sons name, "Did you say Theresa?" he asked.
She nodded, "Yes. Do you happen to know her?"
"No, the name just sounded familar." he said trying to cover up.
Ivy looked and saw Theresa standing in the doorway with Fox. "Oh! Here she is right now! Come with me so you can meet her."
Tony smiled, "Wonderful."
Theresa looked up to see Ivy and the stranger approaching her. He looked familar but she couldn't put her finger on who it was.
"Theresa." Ivy said greeting her. "Do you remember you said you were looking for a pediatrician for Little Ethan?"
"Yes." Theresa said.
"Well here's a pediatrician at the local hospital! Doctor...."
Tony hesitated and then responded, "Jones." He coughed and tried not to make eye contact with Theresa.
Theresa looked at the man a little closer. He seemed as if he were trying to avoid looking at her. She just shook it off and smiled at him. "When is your office open?" she asked curiously.
"All day! 24 hours!" Tony said making it up.
"24 hours?" Theresa asked raising her eyebrow. "I didn't know offices were opened that late."
"Well you know, when the kids get sick it would be better for them to go to a familar place then the hospital." he said smoothly.
Theresa nodded, "Oh, I see. That's a very good idea. Now if you'll excuse me." she said pulling Fox away with her.
"Is it just me, or did that guy look like he was trying to hide something?" Theresa whispered to him.
"He looked fine to me." Fox said. He looked at her and added, "If you're still thinking about that conversation we had earlier about Tony, don't worry. You would probably know right away if that was him, right? You lived with the guy for 2 years."
Theresa nodded, what Fox was saying made a lot of sense. "You're right. I have nothing to worry about. Tony isn't here and I'm happy."
"There you go." he said smiling. "Now why don't we dance?"
"Gladly." Theresa said. She walked with Fox onto the dance floor and left all her worries behind her.
"You can say the same about yourself." he said kissing her.
"Hey." she said pulling him into the room. "Someone could see us! We have to save it for in here."
Fox sighed, ''I hate keeping this in private, I want everyone to know how we feel about each other."
