Chapter 2
You Got To Be Kidding Me
A/N: I'm going to repeat the last 2 or 3 lines of the last chapter in every chapter. (If Necessary.)
"My, my, my aren't we grumpy today. I thought you'd be thrilled seeing as now me and wifey can produce you an heir.",Fox replied.
"What???",Theresa exclaimed.
"Now, we're talkin' we will need a heir that way the Crane Millions will stay in the family. Lord, knows who Rachel or Kathelina will marry.",Alistair replied.
"I thought you'd see it that way gramps.",Fox replied.
"Uh, Alistair I haven't consented to nothing.",Theresa began.
"Theresa, you are my grandson's wife and you will do what ever I tell you or you will wind up with nothing. Is that clear?",Alistair asked.
"Crystal.",Theresa replied glaring at Fox.
"Good, Theresa I will give you 3 years, if there is no heir at that time you and Fox will divorce and you will sigh over full custody of Little Ethan to Julian.",Alistair ordered. With that he hung-up.
"Are you crazy? Fox, Alistair is going to take Little Ethan away from me any how, because of your foolish offer.",Theresa exclaimed.
"Resa, calm down.",Fox replied.
"Calm down, you just sold my whole entire life to your grandfather....",Theresa began.
"Not, exactly, Theresa. You can save yourself the time and energy and sign over my son to me now then I'll gratefully get your and Fox's drawn annulment papers up...",Julian began.
"Never, do you hear me Julian, I don't care what it takes I'll do anything Alistair tells me to, if it means I keep my son.",Theresa replied.
"Suite yourself. But ,I know you and you're not going to willfully sleep with Fox. You love Ethan too much to do that",Julian replied.
"Theresa, you ready to go?",Fox asked he'd had enough of all the rude comments.
"Yeah, is my son ready. Seeing as I'm his mother and I do have a way to support him. He'll be living under my roof, not this place, 'Julian's Whore House.' ",Theresa replied.
"Got to admit it does have a nice ring to it, pops.",Fox added.

~*One hour later*~
"Fox, were you serious about what you said this morning?",Theresa asked apart her didn't want to know the truth, but yet apart did.
"About, Producing an heir?",he asked. Theresa nodded.
"Yeah, but not now. I'm sure one day you'll trust me enough to let me sleep with you, but I know now isn't the time. You love Ethan and you'll probably always will.",Fox replied.
"What if I we never....you know? What then, Alistair will take my son. Fox, I can't lose him.",Theresa replied.
"We'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Don't worry, ok. I know you you'll lose a many nights sleep over this. Resa, try to forget about what Alistair said, just let whatever happens, happen.",he replied.
"Easily said, then done. Alistair will take Little Ethan from me. I fill like I'm prolonging this whole thing.",she replied.
"Maybe not, like I said let whatever happens, happen. If we don't met Alistair's deadline, I'll come up with something.",he replied.
"Thanks",she replied.
"For what?",he replied.
"For everything, not to many people would marry someone they didn't love.",she replied.
"I just didn't want to see another kid missed up at the hands of his rich, unaffectionate father.",he replied.
"Whatever your reason, I'll be forever grateful.",she replied.
"Don't be, you don't owe me nothing.",he replied. 'I'll be getting twice back in return'

"So were are we going to sleep?",Theresa asked.
"I was thinking, you can sleep in there",Fox motioned to the bedroom. "and I'll sleep right here, on this nice soft couch",he replied.
"Fox, why don't you just get some covers and a pillow and camp out in the floor in the bedroom, it'll probably be more comfortable".
"Why not? I'm sure I can't much sleep tonight anyways.",he replied.
"Why?",Theresa asked.
"I've got to much on my mind. When I was younger I just to stay up all night just thinking. Why Momsy and pop took more interest in Ethan, than in me. Sometimes I'd lie in bed hoping a kidnapper would come and steal me out of my bedroom window. One time I left the window up a whole entire week hoping some old man would come in and steal me, I figured that if I was missing momsy and pops would care more for me.",Fox replied.
"I can't speak for Ivy or Julian, but my life wouldn't be not half as exciting with out you.",she replied.
"Oh, I'm touched.",he replied.
"Then again I would have to put up with you're sappy when I was growing up stories.",Theresa replied with a smile.
"You think you're all that, don't you?",Fox replied.
"You know it.",Theresa replied.
"Like I was saying you just got to believe that one day fate will smile down on you again.",Theresa added.
Fox stood there speechless.
.
Theresa started to laugh.
"What? What did I say.",Fox asked.
"Nothing, I was remembering when we we're in the mansion earlier...",Theresa replied.
"What about it?",he asked.
"The look on Ivy's face when she found out we were married.",Theresa replied.
"If looks could kill.",Fox added.
"Not to mention, Ethan. He looked like he'd die and gone to hell.",she replied.
"Well, maybe now he'll see how you felt the day he married Gwen.",he replied
Theresa walked in to the room were Little Ethan lay, Fox followed behind her.
"Well, has it?",Fox asked.
"Hmm?",Theresa asked.
"Fate, do you think it's smiled down on you again. I mean you don't have my dearest half-brother, but the way I see it you've got most of what you wanted back. Your son, you're not married to pops, you're able to do as you please with out having Alistair or Julian hound you...",Fox began
"I don't know? Right, now I am happy, but all because of you. You got my son back.",Theresa replied.
"What do you say we get to bed. I'm sure you're tired after what happened today.",Fox replied.
"Yeah",Theresa replied.
