** Story opens with a diary entry from Teresa. **
Chapter 30: Babies Galore
Dear Diary,
Wow! I have so much to say. A lot has happened in the past five months. Sheridan and Charity are due on the same day next week. Sheridan is expecting a girl and Charity is expecting a boy, but we know how those sonograms don't really show things.
Anyway, Antonio and Beth fight a lot. Beth's daughter, Nikki, and Charity's daughter started school about a month ago. It's different having "little students" in the house. Luis has fun asking them questions and making them uncomfortable it seems.
Nick and I, yes I said Nick, well, we're doing okay. He's hardly home anymore. I'm spending a lot of time with Noah. Yeah, Noah Bennett is back! It's crazy, I know, but what can I say? He's all I have to talk with since Dylan hooked Whitney up on this tennis tour in Europe. Back to Nick, well, he works a lot now. We fooled around about five months ago and he kind of raped me. I know, he's my husband and that can't be rape, but he forced himself on me and he hit me. No, I wasn't hurt, but, I was emotionally hurt b/c I never thought he'd hit me.
Anyway, the twins are great. Tina is starting to show some effort to crawl and Nick is working on it pretty well. I'm so proud of them. I love them so much. Charity is calling me so I have to go. I'll write again soon I hope.
Love Always,
Teresa. **End of Entry **
She closed the diary and hid it and walked out of the room. She saw Charity holding onto Sheridan who was holding onto her. "Are you guys okay?" "NO. Our waters just broke." "Uh-oh. I'll grab the baby bags, and kids, and you guys get to the family van." Teresa grabbed everything and the kids and drove the girls to the hospital.
She called everyone (you know the whole L.F., Bennett and Crane family) and everyone arrived pretty quickly. Luis and Miguel went in with their wives, who were sharing birthing rooms. Before Luis walked in though, Miguel reminded him of the possible fantasy thing. He was grossed out, but went in anyway.
Everyone waited around for about 8 hours before Fox called Teresa, "Where are you?" "Hospital. Charity and Sheridan went into labor. Didn't I call you?" "No. Wait they went into labor at the same time?" "Yea. What can I say? Their tied at the hip any other time." He laughed and said he couldn't make it to the hospital because of the workload and he asked her to call him as soon as the babies were born. She said okay and hung up.
Noah walked over to her, "Was that Fox?" "Yeah. I seemed to have forgotten to call him." "I see." She and Noah sat down together and she fell asleep on his shoulder. She felt so comfortable with him that it was weird.
An hour later, Miguel came out and said Charity just had a baby girl, not a boy, and they named her Chastity Hope Lopez-Fitzgerald. He also said that Sheridan was in the process of having her baby. He kissed Trinity (for those of you who don't know what Trinity is: it's the belief in three persons in one God, long story, read the Catholic bible for more details, lol.) and walked back into the room. Luis came out with a smile on his face saying that he had a son: Anthony Justin Lopez-Fitzgerald.
Things were going great and Teresa didn't feel like calling Fox. At about 9pm they all went home except the guys and their wives. The L.F. family arrived home and Fox was waiting. He was pissed when he found out that Pilar had invited Noah to stay for dinner. Everyone had a great time a dinner and Fox hated it when Noah told Pilar that her food was great in Spanish. He hated when she told him the things she used to tell him like; 'It's great to see you at our table' or 'you should eat with us more often'. Fox became overly pissed when Teresa had to be excused to check the twins and not only did Noah get up and hold out her chair, but he went with her.
Pilar asked Fox, "Are you okay Fox?" "No Pilar. I'm not. I don't like Noah." Pilar shrugged it off and Martin whispered to Fox, "You're married to her, assert that position." Fox nodded and when Teresa sat back down he pulled her close and started to feed her like her used to and she said, "Honestly Fox. I can feed myself." He was taken back. He didn't like that comment. They always fed each other. Martin pushed Fox's leg and insisted he carried on, "Um, Teresa, what time is it? We should get to bed." "Don't you have a watch on and when do we have a bedtime?" She turned back to Noah who was feeding her desert.
He asked to be excused from the table because he thought he was going to be sick. He walked into his bathroom and said, "I'm loosing her. I'm losing her right under my own nose. At least I have my kids, well, Ethan's kids. Ugh! This can't get any worse." He dressed for bed and went to sleep.
Teresa came in the room and woke up him with her presence at about 2am. He wanted to say something to her, but he didn't. She kept thinking of lunch with Noah tomorrow because they were going to New York to this great place he knew from college. She climbed into bed and didn't face him. He rolled over to face her and her back was towards him. He pulled her in close and hugged her. She giggled, "Stop it Noah." He let her go and she gasped. She couldn't believe what she just said. She immediately rolled over to face Fox and he just stared at her. She could see the disbelief and hurt in his eyes. He wanted to say something, he really did, but he just kissed her forehead and rolled over to onto his side.
She just held her mouth. She couldn't believe she just called Fox, Noah. She was so mad at herself. And he didn't say anything; he just kissed her and rolled over. She didn't want to touch him because she was afraid that he'd flip out. She moved closer to him and she heard him talking to himself, sniffling, "Why? Why is she doing this to me?" She listened to him talk to himself for a while and she realized when he fell asleep and she fell asleep shortly after.
The next morning, she woke up with her head on his chest, just like it was every morning. It was like that was their normal position to get to every night to be comfortable. She moved around a bit and he woke up. He looked at her and said, "Morning, beautiful." He kissed her forehead and got up to do his normal routine. She asked herself, "Doesn't he remember what happened last night?"
She got up and decided to get into the shower with him and they fooled around a bit, but it was like nothing happened. As they were getting dressed he ran up behind her and picked her up and threw her on the bed and started to tickle her. She started to laugh and nearly lost her breath. He stopped tickling her and laughing and he got up to finish dressing. She looked at him and said, "Fox. I'm sorry." He looked at her, "For what?" "Don't play that with me. You know what." "No, I don't actually," he sat down on the bed next to her, "You know, I was thinking we should get lunch together today since we haven't had lunch together in so long." She smiled and said, "I was going to see the girls today though." "That's okay. I'll come too, I owe them for not being at the birthing thing. Luis will probably throw a fit though." He laughed, "So what do you say?" She remembered she had plans with Noah and totally blew Fox off, "Nah. I wanted to stay with the girls today." She looked at his face and she knew he was disappointed. "Oh. Okay. Dinner then?" "We should really be home to watch the kids since mama isn't home nor Charity and Sheridan and I have to pick the girls up from school." He just looked at her.
"Teresa, are you trying to ignore me? Did I do something?"
"No, Fox. Stop playing like you don't remember what happened last night."
"Teresa. The point is I don't want to remember it," he got and started to pace like when he was mad, "I don't want to remember because when you said what you said, it was like you ripped my heart out. Good grief Teresa. I hardly see you anymore and when I do, you call me by some other guys name." She felt so bad and could see his eyes tearing up. He kissed her cheek and picked up his briefcase and left the house.
She fell onto the bed crying, "Oh my god. What have I done?"
**At lunch that day**
Noah kissed Teresa from across the table. She kissed back. They moved closer and he called for the bill. He took her to his apartment he had there and took her to his bedroom. He had seduced her. He made her, his own. He loved her for three straight hours and when she realized what had really happened she started to cry, "What's wrong Teresa?" "I cheated on him, again. God, what is my problem?" She asked him to take her home and he did. He tried to explain that it was okay, but she kept saying that they were married this time and it was different than before.
**That night @ the L.F. house**
Everyone was watching a movie when Fox came in. He walked straight to his room again and Teresa followed him. She had decided to not tell him anything, just yet. Once again, he was swamped with work and she hated it but it totally saved her from any questions about her day.
Beth and Antonio were fighting again. "Antonio, I work hard and I come home and I expect you at least ask me how my day was." "Beth. Leave me alone." "No!" she slapped him and Teresa gasped. Antonio looked at her, "Get out of my face before I make you regret that." "Oh really? What are you going to do?" Nikki walked up to her dad and held him by his leg. He picked her up and walked outside. Beth stormed into their room and was flipping out. Teresa wished Sheridan and Charity were home so she could talk to someone.
**Crane Mansion: Library**
"Now Ethan, things aren't well between the little puppy and our Crane boy so I want you to step in and finish Fox off. You hear me?"
"Alistair I need some ideas. I'm fresh out."
"When he goes to change for bed one night, shoot him, through the window and run back to the mansion. Stay at home and I'll cover your tracks. Get it done fast or our deal is off. Got it?" He hung up.
"Yea. I got it."
** Next Chapter: Teresa and Noah keep talking behind Fox's back, Noah works his magic, and Fox knows something is up. I now own the names of: CHASTITY HOPE LOPEZ-FITZGERALD/STANDISH/BENNETT and ANTHONY JUSTIN LOPEZ- FITZGERALD/CRANE.
