Fox walked Theresa to her home. "I had fun last night." Theresa whispered.
Fox smiled. "Me too." He said softly. " I had fun this morning too."
Theresa laughed. "Yup, me too."
They walked along enjoying the beauty surrounding them. The sun shined brightly as a gentle breeze made the leaves dance. Theresa's spirits were soaring and her love for Fox only grew.
When they reached the door, Theresa invited Fox in. He accepted and the two made their way into the house. They were greeted by a grim Pilar.
"Mama. What is it?" Theresa asked. "Why do you look that way?"
"The results came in."
"Oh." Theresa said. "Did you look at them?"
"No-" Pilar said.
"Oh Theresa- there you are." Dr. Russell said as she walked into the room. "Fox. It's nice to see you again."
Fox nodded his greeting.
"Well- I guess you already know why I'm here." Dr. Russell said to Theresa.
Theresa nodded. "So- what are the results Dr. Russell?" she asked warily.
"Theresa- you might want to sit down first."
Prompted by Dr. Russell's suggestion, Fox gently led Theresa to the couch. He held her hand and squeezed it to comfort her.
Theresa squeezed his hand back. "Tell it to me straight, Dr. Russell. Who's the father of my son?"
"To be honest, Theresa, it baffled me- considering the situation."
"Who is it?" Fox asked.
"Theresa- do you know if you slept with Julian or not?" asked Dr. Russell.
"To be honest- I assume that I did. We were in the same bed and I thought Ethan was making love to me. I was drunk though, so maybe I was dreaming. Or maybe not. I'm actually not that certain."
"Well according to the test results-"
"Wait." Pilar said. "Shouldn't Ethan and Julian hear this?"
"They'll hear this later" Theresa said. "Now please Dr. Russell- who is the father of my son?" she said with urgency.
"According to the results," Eve began again, "You did not sleep with Julian Crane. Ethan is the father of your child."
Theresa breathed a sigh of relief. "Oh thank you God!" She cried. "Where is my baby?" She asked her mother.
"He's sleeping, mija. Thank God. I've been praying that Julian wasn't the father."
"He's one lucky guy." Fox said. "Little Ethan I mean. At least he doesn't have Julian as his father. I unfortunately have the privilege of calling him 'Dad'."
"Oh Fox." Theresa said. "Come here." She hugged him tightly. "Thank you so much for being there for me."
"You're very welcome." Fox said softly.
"Theresa- can I talk to you in the kitchen?" Pilar asked.
"Yes mama. I'll be right back. You wait here and make yourself comfortable." Theresa said to Fox.
"All right." Fox agreed.
"Well- I'll be going now." Eve began. "Would you like for me to tell Ethan and Julian the results?"
"Please" Theresa said. "That would be great."
"Okay." Eve left as Theresa and Pilar went into the kitchen.
