Theresa sat in her chair dazed as the maids and her mother described Little Ethan to the police. She still couldn't believe that he was gone, that Tony had taken him away from her. If only she had grabbed a knife when it was sitting in front of her, if only she had taken a piece of broken glass and cut Tony with it. If only she didn't move out of her mother's house. If only. If only. A wail escaped her as she broke down.
"Hey hey." Fox said hugging and rocking her, "Its going to be okay. I promise we will find Little Ethan. Look at me.'' he said gently raising her chin and looking into her eyes, "We'll find him."
She nodded and Fox kissed away the tears that ran down her face.
"Can I have a smile?" he asked.
Theresa let out a weak smile.
"Aw, c'mon. That's not the smile from the Theresa I know!" he said jokingly.
Theresa laughed and then smiled. She was so happy that she had Fox. Then she remembered the baby. "Fox, I need to tell you something." she said putting her hand over her stomach.
"Ok." he said looking at her concerned.
"Dr. Russell told me I'm pregnant."
"What? We're...we're going to have a baby?" he exclaimed.
Theresa nodded, "Yes."
Fox picked her up and twirled around. It was nothing better than finding out he was going to have a baby with the woman he loved. He sat her down. "We're going to get married ok? We're going to find Little Ethan, then we'll buy our own house, and we'll have our own family."
"Oh Fox." she said happily hugging him.
"I love you." he whispered in her ear.
"I love you too."
Just as Fox let go of her, Antonio, Miguel, Luis, and Pilar walked over to her.
"I'm so sorry about Little Ethan, sis. We'll find him and we'll find Tony." Antonio said comforting her.
Miguel and Luis both reached down and gave her a big hug.
"Did you have any major injuries?" Miguel asked.
Theresa looked at Pilar not wanting to tell them herself.
Pilar read her look and said, "No. She didn't get any major injuries. Just a bruised elbow and Eve said that...that the baby is fine." she said giving Theresa a puzzled look.
"Baby?!" Luis exclaimed. "He didn't rape you did he?"
"No." Theresa said as she looked at Fox. "It's not Tony's baby."
"Then who the heck is it? You haven't been dating anyone. Did someone take advantage of you?" Luis said beginning to ask questions as always.
"No one took advantage of me." Theresa said.
"Then how did you get pregnant?" he asked.
Theresa cleared her throat, "Um, privately I've been seeing Fox, and I didn't say anything because I thought you'd be angry." she said looking at Fox.
"You let a Crane put his hands on you?!" Luis said as his fists clenched.
"Yes because I love him!" Theresa shouted in protest.
Luis came face to face with Fox, "How dare you touch my sister expecially with everything that she's going through!" he yelled and then slammed Fox against a wall.
"Whoa, I didn't mean to upset you Luis." Fox said.
"Well you sure did!" he yelled.
"Luis!" Theresa shouted, "Put Fox down."
"Give me a good reason why I should." he said slamming him again.
"I already told you! Because I love him!"
"You said the same about Tony but look where it got you." Luis insulted her as he dropped Fox from the wall.
"But this is different!" she argued.
"How? He's a Crane. Cranes are just like DiMetti's their violent and they both hate each other!"
"Just because of his last name doesn't mean he's a bad person." Theresa pleaded.
"You know why don't you go tell that to someone who cares. Don't waste your breath on me." he said as he stalked off.
Theresa sighed and walked over to Fox. "Are you ok?"
"Yeah, he has a big grip!" he said massaging his neck.
Theresa smiled and then looked at her remaining brothers and mother, "You three understand, don't you?"
They all nodded. "I'm sure that Fox will take care of the consequences of his actions." Antonio said.
"I will." Fox said taking Theresa's hand in his.
Ivy, who had been eavesdropping rolled her chair over. "I would have never guessed." she said looking at Theresa and Fox. "Welcome to the family Theresa."
Theresa smiled, "Thanks."
"Why don't we take you home, you need your rest." Antonio said.
"I don't know if I could stay by myself." Theresa said worried.
"I'm sure Fox can stay with you. I have to stay with Sheridan to protect her from whoever's out to get her." he said.
Theresa smiled and kissed her family on the cheeks. "Goodnight everyone." she said as she and Fox left.
"Goodnight." they said in unison.
"Hey hey." Fox said hugging and rocking her, "Its going to be okay. I promise we will find Little Ethan. Look at me.'' he said gently raising her chin and looking into her eyes, "We'll find him."
She nodded and Fox kissed away the tears that ran down her face.
