Author's Note: I just finished state testing and thanks to everyone who reviewed I might be able to get in two new chapters before exams that is if I get enough reviews. Well anyways thanks for the reviews and also I own none of the characters except for Theresa and Fox's unborn baby. The rest belong to James E. Riley and NBC. This is a something I thought Fox and Theresa deserved since every time they have one of those special moments it was rudely interrupted. I promise no interruptions this time.
Fox and Theresa walked into her room. She excused the maid and picked up her fussy baby. She started singing to him while Fox watched the pair in love and affection.
"I need you and I miss you,
And now I wonder,
If I could fall into the sky,
Do you think time would past me,
Cause you know I'd walk a thousand miles just for you.
Although it's times like these when I think of you and I wonder,
If you ever think of me.
Cause every thing's so wrong and I don't belong ,
Living in your precious memories.
I need you and I miss you,
And now I wonder."
She smiled.
"Sweet dreams my precious baby."
(I changed one line to make it fit the setting on purpose but don't mind it.)
Theresa smiled at her sleeping baby. She settled him in his crib and turned to Fox. He was staring at her and smiling.
"Well, now he's asleep. Got anything you want to do." She smiled mischievously.
"Well yes but not what you think."
Theresa made a playful pout.
"I have other things in mind." He walked over and grabbed Theresa's hand. He put it on her and looked at her puzzled face.
"Where are we going?"
He gave her a mischievous smile.
"Since part 1 of the evening was interrupted I want part 2 and 3 to be even more romantic."
He led her down stairs and out to the back porch and out into the Crane garden. Out there Theresa was looking in awe. It was so beautiful. There was a blanket set on the grass next to a row of orchids. There was a picnic basket and a small radio was playing soft Latin music. She loved it. The summer air smelled of orchids and jasmines. They slipped out of their shoes and sat down on the blanket.
"So, what to you think my bride to be?"
"Oh Fox it's are there words to describe it. It's wonderful. I love you so much."
She leaned in and kissed him. He gently pushed her to where she was laying on the blanket with Fox on top of her. He deepened the kiss. She ran her hands down his back sending her shivers of pleasure when she raked her nails back up. He ran his down her side, stroking her through her dress. She moaned. He pulled back and whispered in her ear.
"Can I ask you something?"
She kissed his neck and stopped to look into his eyes. She nodded.
"Do you really want to marry me?"
She gently pushed him off of her and she laid on her side and looked into his eyes.
"Of course I do. I love you Fox and we are about to be a family. We are about to have a baby." She patted her belly. "Why are you asking me such a question?"
"Well, I was just wondering if you accepted my proposal is because you don't want our baby to be a bastard."
"Fox, I accepted your proposal because I love you. I knew there was a connection when I first met you but I was blinded to it because of my feelings for Ethan. Now those are gone and he is with Gwen. We deserve each other as much as Ethan deserves Gwen. I love you and that's all that matters. My question is me getting pregnant the only reason you proposed?"
Fox looked deeply into Theresa's eyes. He could see a tear forming and it started running down her soft cheek. He lovingly wiped it away.
"Of course not. I love you and actually I already had the ring ordered and was going to wait but I thought tonight would be the night since the past two weeks were rough for you having sprained your ankle. Confronting Ethan and Gwen and Ivy. Plus every time we try to do something Pilar or Luis or somebody interrupted us. I love Theresa and always remember that. Do you understand?"
Theresa nodded. Tears were running her face fast. She smiled and started laughing.
"Oh Fox, I love you too. I do so much."
She kissed him. He returned it and stroked her tongue with his. She moaned and pulled away. She turned to lay on her back. Theresa looked at the stars. A smile formed on her face.
"This is what it's like back in the old country. No street lights to blind your view of the world. The night sky is like life my mama always said. There are endless possibilities in life as in the sky. Each star represents the paths we choose to take in life but like all things they die and end but from the endings come new beginnings. Some just surprise you and some just happen so naturally you can see them coming. I think my life is like that you know."
She turned her head at Fox and he nodded and she turned her gaze back to the stars.
"When my life with Ethan died it was like when a star dies and we see it's beauty when it explodes. But from those remnants a new star is formed. Like when my life fell apart with Ethan you came and comforted me. After that a new beginning began that was you and me. Our life is kind of like that small star."
She pointed to a small bright star the twinkled with a bright white light.
"It's small because it's a new star like this is our new life but it will gradually grow and may not last forever but it will last till it is time for it to die and a new beginning will come. Like this baby will be our new beginning and your new beginning to being a father. I know you will love this baby as you love little Ethan."
Fox nodded.
"I fell the same way. I will love this baby as much as I love you and that cute little baby you have."
Before he could say more Theresa kissed Fox. This kiss became everything to them. They only felt this kiss and forgot about the world around them.
-x-x-x-
Gwen watched from her bedroom window as they kissed. She frowned and knew they were getting even closer and maybe things wouldn't be as bright and simple as she thought it would be. She walked over to a sleeping Ethan. She shook him.
"What the hell? What's the matter with you?"
"Get up husband. There are a few things we need to go over."
TBC... See no interruptions just a little glance at how Gwen is on her wits end about what to do. No matter. What do you think will happen if the old Gwen returns? Review and tell me what you think. ^_^
