Chapter 32: Remembering
Fox watched Teresa pull into the driveway in her car and he watched her walk to the front door and let herself in. Teresa walked directly to the bedroom and saw Fox looking out his window. He was standing with his hands in his pockets of his pants and he looked like he was upset. "Fox, are you okay?" He turned his head around to see her and he looked so serious. "Teresa, I have something to show you." "Okay."
She sat on the bed as Fox went to his desk and pulled out eight folders. He laid the folders on the bed and Teresa looked at them. "What are they?" "Open them." She smiled and opened the folders and saw complete logs on her days and pictures of her with Noah, her and the kids with Noah, her and Noah "together".
"You had me followed?" She threw the folders at him and he just backed up a couple of steps as she threw her fit, "You had me followed! What kind of husband are you? How dare you!" She sat back on the bed and flipped through some more pictures. Fox fell to her feet and grabbed her ankles and held onto legs and started to cry, "Teresa, we were supposed to be happy? What happened to us? Just tell me what you want me to do and I'll do it, but please Teresa, tell me what I can do in this situation. We took vows to love only each other, why are you with someone else?" He was screaming and crying by now and Teresa felt somewhat bad.
She pushed him off her ankles and he fell back onto his "behind" and started to cry while begging Teresa to tell him what he could do to make their marriage work. She ignored him and didn't know what to do. Fox got up and walked back to the window and put his hands in his pockets again and just stared out the window as he cried. He turned his head to Teresa who was just staring at him and she said, "What?" He smiled and said, "I love you, Teresa." She looked at him with hatred in her eyes and responded, "I hate you." Then she heard a gunshot.
Fox fell to the ground, unconscious. Teresa screamed and ran over to Fox and laid his head on her legs as she stroked his head. "Fox! Baby, please be okay, I don't hate you, I should never have said that! I love Fox, I really do!" She kissed him and noticed where the gun wound was and she reached to her purse to get her cell phone to call an ambulance.
** Hospital within a few hours **
Teresa was sitting at Fox's bedside, where she knew she belonged. Fox was unconscious and was shot in the abdomen. Dr. Russell kept Fox in ICU and kept a very close watch on him. "Dr. Russell, will Fox die?" "Well, Teresa, at this stage it's very hard to say, but I'm sure that if we keep a close eye on him that he'll be back soon. Plus, you know that Fox loves you and would never leave you or the kids you share." She smiled and left. Teresa started to cry at Dr. Russell's comment that Fox would never leave her and that he loved her. Teresa held Fox's hand and remembered the vows Fox said to her: **Flashback**
Fox faced Teresa under the veil and said, "Teresa, from the moment I saw you that day when Antonio brought you over, I knew you were special. You made my heart patter at eleven years old. I knew that no matter how long I was gone to boarding school that you would never forget me and I would never forget you. I promise to be by your side when your feeling down or weary and when tears are in your eyes I will dry them off. I promise to love you and care for you and make you the happiest woman alive for all the days of my life. Teresa, I promise to be the best husband to you and the best father to our children. I give you my heart and soul today and I love you, Teresa." ** She then remembered her vows to Fox:
With her hands all ready joined with Fox's, Teresa spoke up, "Nick, I remember the day you saved my life in the ice and during the earthquake. Nick, for all those times you stood by me, for all the truth that you made me see, for all the joy you brought to my life, for all the wrong that you made right, for every dream you made come true, for all the love I found in you, I'll be forever thankful to you because you're the one who held me up and never let me fall, you're the one who saw me through it all. Nick, I promise to be your loyal wife and I promise to raise our children with love and care. I promise to the best wife I can be and the best mother to our children. I give you my heart and my soul today and I love you, Nick." **END OF FLASHBACK**
"God, what was I thinking? I cheated on Fox with Noah. Fox was the best thing that ever happened to me. He was always faithful to me. He always made me happy. He always dried my tears, like he vowed, and he really did make me the happiest woman alive, just like he said!" She looked at Fox's lifeless body and kissed him and said, "Fox, I never meant to hurt you. You truly were the one who saw me through everything. I know that I wasn't a faithful wife and I'm so sorry, Nicky. I love you," she began to cry, "Please, don't leave me. I need you. The kids need you. Ally needs you. We all need you. I love you Fox. I love you with my whole heart."
"That was so sickening." Teresa looked up at the doorway and saw Noah, "What?" "You heard me," he walked over to Fox's bedside, "Teresa, you belong with me, sweetheart, you always have. That's why I knew you'd come back to me and now finally, we all can be a family. You, the kids, and I will be an awesome family and you can finally be Mrs. Noah Bennett, just like we planned." She got up and slapped him, "Get the hell out Noah, and I never want to see you again!" He had his choice of words for him and then he left. Teresa sat down and began to pray for Fox. She had another flashback. **Flashback**
"Teresa, there is nothing to understand. You slept with Ethan, you made love to him!" He got out of the chair and sat down by her. He ran his fingers through her hair, "Teresa, I love you, but, this is crazy." She started to cry harder. "Let me finish," he said, "Teresa, I will stay by your side forever. I love you and I know that this baby," he touched her stomach, "is mine, without a shadow of a doubt." She laughed as he dried her tears. "Now stop crying and let me love you, Resa, let me show you how much I love you." He kissed her and laid her down to make her, his.
**End of flashback**
"Fox, you were always so good to me. God, I'll hate myself if I let you die with thinking that our kids aren't yours or that I was having an affair. Fox, please, come back to me." She started to cry again. It seemed as if she was being punished for her bad deeds towards Fox. She hated it.
