DOWN THE ROAD
3 months later...
"Are you sure you want to know?" She asked. Teresa nodded her head yes. "You're going to have a baby girl, Teresa!" Eve said excitedly.
"I've always wanted a baby girl!"
Dylan sat in the chair beside her holding her hand, "Have you thought of a name yet, Teresa?"
"Nicholette. After Nicholas." She smiled.
"He would like that." Dylan kissed her hand. "He would be so proud of you, Teresa."
Eve smiled down at Teresa, "Yes, he would. I was worried when we first discovered your pregnancy, Teresa. I wasn't sure if you would be able to carry it full-term."
"The very second I learned I was pregnant, I knew I had to pull myself together. I had more to think about than just myself. I have this child and my Little Ethan that I had been denying his mother. Fox wouldn't wanted to have seen me the way that I was. And I owe it to him to be the best mom that I can be for our child. Our baby daughter."
Dylan beamed as he watched the ultrasound monitor, "Fox will be so happy."
Eve and Teresa looked at Dylan oddly. "Teresa, I want to see you back in 2 weeks for your next check-up. Sooner if you have any complications. We don't want any problems with this pregnancy. See you then. Take care of yourself, Teresa. This pregnancy is very important." Eve left.
Walking out of the hospital, Teresa looked over at Dylan, "Dylan, what did you mean inside when you said that Fox will be so happy?"
He scratched his head, "Slip of the tongue, I guess. What I meant to say was that he would've been so happy. I guess I want him here just as much as you do, Teresa."
"I see." She turned to face him, "Thank you for coming with me today, Dylan. It really means a lot to me."
"It was nothing. Fox was my friend, Teresa. Now that he's not here I feel like it's my obligation."
She smiled at him, "It's not, Dylan. But thank you all the same."
"Come on, let's go home. I have a feeling Little Ethan will love knowing that he's going to have a baby sister." He took Teresa's hand.
Time was beginning to Teresa's broken heart. She would never be able to fully accept that Fox would no longer be a part of her life, but everyday it got a little easier. She now had a purpose. She had a part of Fox growing inside of her. He could live on through their daughter. Dylan had offered to let Teresa move in with him. They had rented an apartment and lived their together with Little Ethan. They had decided to reside in Harmony. Teresa had needed to be close to her family and were Teresa was Dylan wanted to be.
Dylan truly loved Teresa, but he knew that she would never be able to return his feelings. That was okay. Her friendship was enough. He just loved being around her, and he would do anything to make her life easier.
"He's going to be so excited, Dylan." She rubbed her stomach, "I hope I don't have the same complications with Nicholette as I did Ethan. That was horrible."
"You're in good hands, Teresa, Dr. Russell wouldn't let anything happen to you this time. Besides you were under a lot of stress when Little Ethan was born." He reassured her.
"You can say that again!" She smiled. "But this time I have a totally different stress. It breaks my heart to think that this innocent little baby will never know her father." She looked down at the ground.
Dylan put his hand underneath her chin and raised her head, "That's not true, Teresa. We'll do everything we can to make sure she knows her father."
Teresa nodded, "Your right, Dylan."
He smiled, "I'm always right, Teresa. You should be use to that by now."
She rolled her eyes,"You're more like Fox than you'd ever like to admit Dylan. Maybe that's why I feel so close to you."
