I know I'm not going at my usual pace for this fanfic, but bear with me. I'm not dropping it or anything like that. I'm just a bit short on ideas these days and there were some problems with the site. I couldn't upload anything. So, my apologies

My rant....Yeah, Passions sucks these days. Enough with Fox and Whitney already. We want Therox or at least I know I do. That first kiss cannot arrive soon enough for me!

CHAPTER 6 Regrets

Ethan sat down on the bench outside and watched as Teresa played with her son. A smile spread across his face as he watched her running after her son who was crawling away.

"I miss you so much Teresa. What have I done to us?"

"Ethan? There you are, I've been looking all over for you."

He turned around and looked at Gwen who stood beside him. He looked back at Teresa who had been joined by Fox.

"Your brother seems quiet fond of his little brother, doesn't he?"

Ethan didn't say anything. He watched as Fox picked up Teresa and started spinning with her in his arms. He heard her as she laughed and looked on as he carried her and ran around while she was still in his arms.

Gwen looked at her husband.

"I think those two have something going on."

"What do you mean?"

"Well I mean look at them."

They both looked at Teresa and Fox. They were now sitting on the grass with the little boy between them. They looked cozy together and most importantly, happy.

"Maybe Teresa is moving on with her life."

Ethan felt another piece of his heart break.

*****

"Wait, stop spinning, I'm feeling dizzy."

He put her down and she stumbled and fell in his arms. He held her.

"Are you alright?"

"Feeling a bit light headed."

"Maybe you should sit a little."

She looked at him and smiled.

"Only if you sit with me."

He did and she sat beside him pulling her son close to her.

"I hope this day never ends, Fox."

He looked at her and didn't say anything. Deep down, he was hoping that every minute he spent with her would never end. He put his arm around her shoulder and kissed her lightly on her hair. She eyed him.

"What was that for?"

"I don't know, call me spontaneous."

She leaned her head against his shoulder unaware that they had an audience.

*****

"Yes, I think Fox is in love with Teresa. I'm just happy that he is keeping her busy so that she doesn't come between us again. I'm going back in, Ethan. Are you coming?"

"I'll be with you in a minute.

He looked at his brother as he kissed his old flame on her head. He looked as Teresa leaned her head on Fox's shoulder. Ethan felt hurt and sad.

"I really lost my Teresa. I lost the love of my life."

He turned his back and walked back to the mansion, to the life he never wanted and to the wife he never felt anything more than friendship for.
