EPILOGUE
Anniversary
Oh - thinking about all our younger years,
There was only you and me,
We were young and wild and free,
Now nothing can take you away from me,
We've been down that road before,
But that's over now,
You keep me coming back for more,
Fox rose from his chair and picked up his glass of champagne and a second one. He walked to the stairs that led to the second floor and watched her as she came down wearing a dark navy silk cocktail dress. She saw him and a wide smile came over her lips and lit up the rest of her face.
He smiled back at her as he held out his hand to her. She put her own hand in his as his as she walked the remaining steps. He picked up her glass from the table and she took it from him.
"Champagne for me and sparkling cider for my beautiful, adorable and lovely wife."
"Oh stop it!"
Baby you're all that I want,
When you're lying here in my arms,
I'm finding it hard to believe,
We're in Heaven,
And love is all that I need,
And I found it here in your heart,
It isn't hard to see,
We're in Heaven,
He winked at her and she winked back at him. They both walked in the living where family and friends greeted them with smiles and raised their glasses to them. Fox pulled Teresa close to him.
"Care for a dance?"
"I would love to."
They both put their glasses down and Fox took Teresa in his arms and they danced staring into each others' eyes with smiles on their faces that wouldn't go away.
Oh - once in you life you find someone,
Who will turn your world around,
Pick you up when you're feeling down,
Yeah- nothing could change what you mean to me,
There's a lot that I could say,
But just hold me now,
Cause our love will light the way,
"I'm feeling a bit dizzy."
Fox looked at her worried.
"Let's sit, make a toast and get out of here."
He led her to her seat, took his glass of champagne and called for people's attention.
"I wanted to thank you for been here tonight on this special night."
He looked down at Teresa who was sitting beside him and took her hand in his as he pulled her up to stand next to him.
"It has been a year today since Teresa and I got married. It was very quick and no one knew about it and a lot of you got really upset with us because we didn't invite you."
He looked at the faces of Teresa's family.
"And I still see that it is a sore point with my mother-in-law."
Teresa laughed at his remark but stopped when she saw her mother's face.
"I'm sorry Mama."
"Well in any case, the day I met Teresa.well I think you all know the story. That day changed my life completely. And every day with her is a new adventure. This girl is full of surprises and she is my treasure and I wouldn't change anything in our lives from the moment she screamed her way in my life up until tonight."
Baby you're all that I want,
When you're lying here in my arms,
I'm finding it hard to believe,
We're in Heaven,
And love is all that I need,
And I found it here in your heart,
It isn't hard to see,
We're in Heaven,
He squeezed her hand in his.
"Want to say something?"
She nodded.
"I just wanted to thank all of you who are here tonight. Thank you for your support and thank you for always backing us up. I have never been this happy in my life. I was always big with fate."
She heard whispers in the crowd and saw people shaking their heads. She laughed as did Fox.
"I know, I know.I guess when we let things take their course, great things happen. I am still a firm believer in fate, but I also believe that my destiny had a lot to do with it. I guess when things are meant to be, they just end up happening sooner or later."
I've been waiting for so long,
For something to arrive,
For love to come along,
She looked at Fox adoringly.
"So we thought that since this was our first wedding anniversary, Fox and I should make an announcement this evening."
She paused for a moment.
"I think you've made them wait long enough, Resa."
She smiled at him.
"Do you want to do it, Fox?"
"No, I think you should."
"Umm.well there will be a new addition to our family. There will be another Lopez-Fitzgerald Crane child in 6 months."
People gasped and applauded.
"And I'm starting to show too."
She was excited about it. She stood sideways and Fox turned to face her and laughed when he saw her pull her dress against her stomach who was starting to become a little round.
"See, everyone.my baby is growing."
Fox looked at her lovingly and took her in his arms. He kissed her in front of all their guests.
"Six months to go and you will be a Daddy."
"This is Heaven Teresa."
"I know."
Now our dreams are coming true,
Through the good times and the bad times,
I'll be standing there by you,
Baby you're all that I want,
When you're lying here in my arms,
I'm finding it hard to believe,
We're in Heaven,
And love is all that I need,
And I found it here in your heart,
It isn't hard to see,
We're in Heaven,
We're in Heaven
They both left the living room and their guests and turned in for the night. They were happier then ever.
