"Theresa-what is going on between you and Fox?" Pilar questioned.
"We're in love." Theresa answered.
Pilar sighed, not at all pleased at her daughter's answer. "What have I told you about him?"
"Mama- I know what you think of him, but that's all false. It's just a way to cover up the true Fox-a kind sweet, considerate, and loving man."
"Right." Pilar said sarcastically. "That's exactly who Fox is. Mija, I've watched him grow up. I know how he is. I-"
"Mama- give him a chance!" Theresa cried. "All of his life, he has been looked down upon. For once, can you just give him a chance? Get to know the real Fox. Please? I love him and there is no way I'm leaving him."
"What about Ethan?"
"That's over now."
"But he is the father of your son."
"And- I'll work out a visiting schedule. Ethan will be a part of my son's life. He just won't be involved romantically in mine."
"So you've got this all figured out huh?" Pilar said.
"Yes mama. I may have it figured out, but I need your support. Do I have it?" Theresa asked.
Pilar sighed. "Yes mija, But I just want you to be careful. That's why I'm so worried about you having a relationship with Fox. I just don't want you to hurt from a broken heart again. I hate to see my children in pain."
"Oh mama. I'll be careful. I promise." Theresa hugged her mother tightly. "Thank you." She said quietly.
Ethan received a call at his office from Dr. Russell. "Dr. Russell, hi. What can I do for you?" He greeted her.
"Well, Ethan. I would do this in person, but I've got a lot of things to do today. Anyhow, I just wanted to tell you about the DNA results."
Ethan swallowed hard. "Um-okay."
"Ethan- you are the father."
"Excuse me?"
"You are the father of Theresa's son."
Ethan dropped the phone.
"Ethan?" Dr. Russell said. "Ethan- are you there? Hello?"
Ethan quickly recovered. "I'm sorry, Dr. Russell, but I'm in a bit of a shock."
"I can imagine. Well, I must be going now. Bye Ethan."
"Goodbye, Dr. Russell." Ethan hung up the phone. "Yes!" He cried in joy. He jumped up. "I've got to see Theresa now." He said aloud.
