A/N: Yeah! My first multi-chapter fic! Set a couple years from
current point in show. Theresa does not get kicked out of the
Crane mansion in this storyline. Alternating POV.

Fox's POV

"His News"

I walked to Theresa's bedroom door, determined to say it this time. I reached for the doorknob; then pulled my hand back and stepped away.
"I don't think I can do this," I muttered to myself. But suddenly the door opened, and there stood the pretty lady herself: Theresa.
"Oh, hi, Fox." She smiled up at me and my heartbeat went double- time in my chest.
"Hey, Stepmommy," I said, cool as ever. Why shouldn't I be?
"Fox, I told you- call me Theresa. I hate it when you call me Stepmommy."
"That's why I do it," I retorted cheerfully.
She sighed and brushed a strand of hair out of her face. "Whatever. Anyway, what are you doing here?"
"Looking for you," I replied, folding my arms across my chest and suddenly feeling self-conscious again.
"Why?" Theresa asked. "You need something?"
"I've got something to tell you," I explain, slightly embarrassed. Just then I heard footsteps approaching, and Ethan came into view from around the corner.
"What are you two doing out here?" he asked.
"Fox was going to tell me something," Theresa explained, turning toward him.
"I have something to tell you too, Theresa," Ethan told her. "It's very important. Can we speak alone?"
"Um- well- Fox, you still need to talk to me?" She turned back to me.
"Yes. Alone, Stepmommy," I stressed, looking at Ethan. He looked insulted, but I wasn't telling Theresa this news with him three feet away.
"Okay- Ethan, I'll come talk to you when I'm done with Fox," Theresa decided. "That okay?"
The look on Ethan's face said "hell no," but he answered with "Sure. Meet you in the living room," and headed downstairs.
"All right, Fox: you have my undivided attention," Theresa declared with a smile.
"Stepmommy, this may be hard to hear, and believe me it's very hard to say," I began carefully. "So I'm just gonna spit it out before I chicken out. Theresa, I love you."
