Chapter 35
Dream Come True
Teresa stood there starring in shock at the man who stood before her.
"Daddy!" She wrapped her arms around his neck. "Oh, my God, it's really you. How, how did you get here? Where have you been?" She stammered. Her voice broken by the lump in her throat.
Martin patted her head, "Shhh, baby, that's not important now. Here, Fox asked me to give you this." He handed Teresa a piece of paper. She could barely manage to open it because her hands were trembling so bad.
Resa,
I hope you like your wedding gift. It was hard to keep it a secret for so long. Everyone was in on it. Pilar, Luis, Antonio, Miguel. You name it, they knew about it. I never thought we would keep it a secret. I'm sure you and Martin will want sometime to catch up, but trust me there'll be plenty of time for that after the wedding. Now, get yourself down that aisle. I can't wait to see you!
I love you. Forever!
Fox.
"Teresa, honey, don't cry." Martin dabbed the tears from her eyes with a hankerchief. "You'll ruin your make-up."
"Fox, did this daddy?" She asked looking up at her father, still in shock.
"Well, with Julian's help. I guess the man really has changed. Don't know whether it's because of Eve or because of Allister's death, but he has changed." He gave his daughter another hug. "Come on, Teresa, let's get you married. I know a very lucky man that can't wait to see you."
Teresa took her father's arm and walked to see her bridesmaids and ushers standing there.
"We're ready." Teresa said. With that the wedding coordinator motioned for the music to begin. Fox stood at the steps of the gazebo. He watched as Whitney and Chad, Sheridan and Julian, and Antonio and Gwen made their way down the aisle. Then the bridal march began and out stepped Teresa on the arm of her father. Everyone stood to their feet and turned to look at Teresa. Fox smiled from ear to ear. He had never seen something so beautiful in his life. Teresa made her way down the aisle to Fox and as her and Martin came to the end Teresa kissed her father on the cheek and then took Fox's hand.
Everyone looked on as they exchanged their vows. They were so happy, so in love.
"Now by the power invested in me, I now pronounce to you husband and wife. Fox, you may kiss your bride." Fox raised Teresa's veil and caressed her cheek. "You're beautiful, Resa." He leaned in and kissed her passionately. Everyone in the audience sighed.
"Now ladies and gentlemen, I pronounce to you Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Foxworth Crane." As they turned to take each others hand and walk back down the aisle Teresa felt something cold against her face. She looked up and then looked at Fox. "It's snowing!" She turned again to Fox, "This is the happiest day of my life."
Fox looked deep into her eyes, "I couldn't have said it better myself." He kissed her again and then walked down the aisle hand in hand to begin the rest of their life together.
I hope you guys like it! I will probably be writing an epilogue in the near future. Tell somethings that happen for Fox and Teresa down the road. Please read and review! I really enjoyed writing it.
