Chapter 36: Changes
With Teresa expecting a new baby around the corner, Fox was always at home. Teresa, Whitney, Dylan, Fox, and the twins, all had been living in the new house Fox and Teresa bought. Fox refused to live in the Crane Penthouse longer than a month so they left.
The new house had its own private beach in the backyard. It was fully equipped with 14 bedrooms, 16 bathrooms, pool house, indoor and outdoor pool, game room, "guy room" (where guys played pool and stuff), movie room, kitchen etc. Whitney and Teresa had been living the dream life in Malibu. Fox insisted on building a deck with a retractable roof, so they could be outside no matter what the weather was.
*~*~*~* Harmony @ the L.F. house *~*~*~* [Knock on bedroom door]
Charity had been knocking on the door for a couple of minutes now and Miguel was bustling around the room saying that he wasn't dressed and asked Charity to hold on while he dressed.
"Seriously, Miguel. Open the door. It's not like I've never seen you undressed before."
"This is different Charity, hold on."
"Fine."
Minutes later, Miguel opened the door, huffing and puffing as if he was trying to hide something. Charity stared at him. "Can we talk?" "Now?" "Yes. Now." "Fine. Come in." He signaled for her to sit on the bed and she did.
"Miguel, I'm sorry for leaving six months ago. I think you learned your lesson so can I move back in?"
"Move back in? Um, Charity, I don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"I mean, I don't think I'm ready for you to move back in, I kind of like the space I had these past six months."
"Oh really?"
"Yeah."
Charity heard something fall over in the bathroom and someone started to giggle.
"What was that?"
"Um, nothing."
Charity hopped off the bed and walked to the bathroom. Miguel ran to cover the door so she couldn't open it. "Miguel, who's in there?" "No one." She pushed him aside and opened the door and she flipped out at the sight of another woman, half dressed in her bathroom.
*~*~*~*~* Malibu *~*~*~*~*
"Fox! Get over here!"
"No! It's not my fault you can't run while pregnant."
He hit her again with a pillow. "That's not funny, Fox."
"Yes it is." She got a hit in. "Dylan! Help!"
Dylan came running into the room with Cristina and a water gun in hand. He shot Fox straight in the face, "Ow! Man! This is a pillow fight on TERESA, not a water gun fight on ME!" Cristina looked up at Dylan, "Give me Uncle Dyl, give me, gun." He put Tina down and handed her the gun. "Haha! I got you daddy." "Oh no you don't!" Fox ran up behind her and snatched the gun and shot her a couple of times with it. "Daddy! Stop!" She started to cry and ran over to Teresa. "Mommy! Daddy shot me." "Now look what you did Fox. You made her cry!" "O geez! Come here." He put the gun down and took Tina in his arms. "Daddy's sorry." Tina smiled and then she whacked him with a pillow. Teresa started to laugh. "That's from Mommy."
Fox said, "Oh really?" He put Tina down a grabbed Teresa and started to tickle her. Tina came up behind him and started to whack Fox with pillows and Dylan grabbed her and jumped into the pool with her. Whitney came out from the house in a bathing suit with Nick in his swimming trunks and sat Nick by the pool. Dylan came up from the water and put Tina's swimmers (you know those things that help you float and they go on your arms) on and let her go swim. He grabbed Nick and put his swimmers on and watched him and Tina swim.
Teresa begged Fox to stop tickling her and when he finally stopped it started to rain. "Everyone inside now!" Teresa called. "Babe, that's why there's a retractable roof, so we don't have to go in when it rains"! "Fox, I will not have my kids in the water in the middle of a storm. Now Dylan pass me Tina and you take Nick and let's go inside." A shot of lightening hit the roof that Fox had put out and it collapsed straight into pool. A piece of the roof landed straight on top of Tina, who was in the pool with Dylan. "Oh my gawd! Dylan! Get her out of there." Teresa screamed. Pieces of the roof were collapsing all around them. Fox handed Teresa, Nick and he dove in after Tina. Dylan came back up with Tina in his arms and Fox came up seconds later. Everyone ran into the house started to check both Dylan and Tina. Dylan was unharmed but Tina had some scars. Teresa was flipping out and starting pacing. Fox was preparing for Teresa to flip out on him about the whole retractable roof idea because she didn't like the idea from the start. Teresa leaned up against the kitchen counter and slowly sank down along it. Whitney turned around and saw Teresa, "Sweetie are you okay?" "No, Whit. I think my water just broke." Fox turned around and said, "Great time, Teresa." "Shut up Fox." "I was just kidding, calm down." "Calm down? Ouch! Ouch! Pain. I'm having really bad pains. Whitney! Help." Dylan and Whitney helped Teresa to the couch and Fox called 911. "Hi. This is Fox Crane. We're at 8149 Kinley Court. Our roof just collapsed over the pool and I think my wife is going into labor." "Okay, Mr. Crane. We are sending someone over, but the storm is pretty bad. How far along is she?" "Huh? I don't know." "Well, you are her husband yes?" "Yeah." "Lift up her dress or whatever and see how dilated she is or asking her might be better." "I agree. Hold on." Fox turned to Teresa, "Fox, I wont make it to the hospital. You guys have to deliver this baby!" Fox spoke into the phone, "Um. Well, she says the baby is coming now. So can you help me out here?" "Yes. I can. You need blankets and pillows. Get her some wet towels also." "Gotcha, hold on 1 second. I'm handing you over to her friend Whitney." "Yes. Sir." "Hi this is Whitney Russell. Now, I've seen my mom do this, but I've never done this so-" "Don't worry ma'am. I've got you covered." "Thanks."
*~*~*~*~* Harmony @ the L.F. house *~*~*~*~*~*
"Charity calm down!"
"NO!" Charity started to throw things at Miguel and at Allison. She grabbed Ally by the hair and dragged her across the floor into the bedroom. "LUIS! ANTONIO! Somebody help me!" called Miguel. Both of the brothers rushed in and Luis grabbed Charity and Antonio grabbed Allison.
Charity was kicking and screaming so much that Luis could barely hold on. She was saying, "I'm going to rip your hair, CRANE!" Ally was just screaming for her life. No one had ever seen Charity like that before. Antonio told Ally to grab her clothes and get out. He escorted her out and Miguel and Charity started to go at it in their room.
*~*~*~*~* Malibu Hospital *~*~*~*~*
"Well, Mrs. Crane, have you picked out a name for your daughter?"
"Yes. We have. Her name is Tatiana," Teresa looked at Fox, "um, sweetie, we need a middle name."
Fox smiled and started to think, "Well, what about Isabella?"
She looked at Fox and then at the baby in her arms, "Tatiana Isabella Crane. I like it." She smiled and Fox kissed her forehead. (A/N: When referring to Tatiana, I will call her "Tatys".) They were so happy together. Now, they had a big family and they all loved each other. Everything seemed to be coming together all of a sudden.
*~*~*~*~* L.F. house in Harmony *~*~*~*~*~*
Charity had stormed out of the house claiming that she wanted a divorce. Beth became frantic at Antonio for holding on to Allison the way he did.
"What did you want me to do? She was going after Charity!"
"I DON'T CARE. I don't want you touching other women."
"Oh. Now you're jealous?"
She slapped him. "I want a divorce also."
Antonio was taken aback by what Beth said. "What?"
"You heard me. All we ever do is fight."
"Beth, I never thought it was that bad."
"It is."
"Beth, what I did or I'm doing, I'm sorry."
"Whatever." She walked out of the living room to her bedroom with Antonio close behind her.
Sheridan peaked out of her room door. She looked at Luis who was behind her and they ran out of their room quietly. She whispered to Luis, "You grab Anthony and I'll get the bags." "Okay." He kissed her and they did what they had to do to get out of the house. They were taking Anthony to baseball game and wanted to go alone.
*~*~*~* Malibu *~*~*~*
"Are we all ready?" called Teresa in the Crane jet.
"Yup. Everyone here?" called Dylan.
"Yup." Said Nick.
"Okay. Then to Harmony we go!" said Fox.
"Off to Harmony!" said Tina.
