Chapter 17
"Honey, do you mind staying outside of the room while I talk to Mama?" Theresa asked.
"Go ahead. I'll start the car." He said kissing her gently.
"Thanks, dear."
Theresa walked into her mother's room. Pilar smiled brightly when she saw her daughter.
"How are you doing, Mama?"
"Better. I might go home tomorrow."
"I hope so."
"Mija, are you okay? Do you want to talk?" Pilar asked very concernedly.
"No. I'm fine, Mama. It's just so much to take in so fast. I'll be fine."
"I know you will. Your a fighter." Pilar said comforting her daughter.
"Well, I'm gonna go now. you get your rest. I'm gonna throw a party when you get home."
"Oh Mija, you don't have to."
"But I want to. It will help take my mind off things."
"Okay. Bye now."
Theresa went to find Fox's car. She spotted him. He noticed her coming out so he pulled toward her.
"Hi, honey." She said while getting in.
"Hi." He responded.
"Let's go home."
"Okay." He said smiling.
They finally reached the mansion.
"Home, sweet home." She told herself.
"I'll get Ethan. You go inside."
Theresa went inside and was welcomed home by everyone.
"Theresa after you get settled in, do you think we could talk?" Ivy asked.
"Sure."
"Yes. This is gonna be big." Ethan said joining the conversation. "Welcome back Theresa."
"Thanks, Ethan."
Theresa went and settled her things. She felt good to be home. Little Ethan was asleep and Fox was doing something at the office. So she thought that now would be a good time to speak to Ivy and Ethan. They were both downstairs talking over something.
"Ivy, Ethan is now a good time to talk about what you wanted to discuss?"
"Yes. Perfect." Ivy said.
"Sit down." Ethan told her.
"Now, Theresa. If I remember correctly you were always interested in fashion. Right?"
"Yes." She said.
"Well," Ethan took over, "how would you like to have your own company?"
"You mean that I could design clothes like I always wanted?" She asked shaking.
"Yes." Ivy and Ethan said.
"Great." Ivy said. "We need you to pick a company name and we'll take care of your office and such."
"This is so great. I can't believe it." She said still shaking.
"Are you okay?" Ethan asked. "Your shaking a lot."
"Ethan could you go get my purse. I think my sugar is low."
"Sure."
"Is it always like that?" Ivy questioned.
"Well, Dr. Russell said that when I'm nervous or when things excite me my sugar can drop."
"What happens if it drops too low?"
"I could go into shock or a coma."
"Ethan hurry!" Ivy shouted. "I didn't know it was this bad."
"It's not that bad. Mama's worse off." Theresa said very sadden.
"I pray for her everyday."
"Thank you, Ivy."
"Here you go, Theresa." Ethan said as he handed her her purse.
Theresa checked her blood and her sugar was 56.
"Phyllis!" Theresa shouted. "I'm sorry to bother you, but can you give me a can of soda?"
"Sure, Theresa."
Theresa drank her can of coke. 10 minutes later, her sugar was back to normal.
"If you'll excuse me. I think I'm going to lie down."
"Of course." Ivy said.
"Do you need some help?" Ethan asked politely.
"Thank you, but no. I'll be fine."
She went and laid on her bed until Fox came home. She wanted to tell him the good news how would he react.
"Theresa." Fox said walking through their bedroom door.
"Fox, I have wonderful news."
"What?" He sounded angry.
"Your mother and Ethan want to help me start my own clothing company. What do you think?"
Meanwhile Sam and Jessica were downstairs bringing their things in.
"Sam, Jessica, I'm happy that we're going to be a family."
"Me too!" Sam said. "Jessica, can you get Ethan to help you unpack. I want to spend some time with your new mother."
"Okay, dad." Jessica said laughing.
Sam and Ivy went into Ivy bedroom. There they sat and talked. Maybe a few kisses, but nothing more. They wanted to take things slowly.
Kay ran into the mansion screaming, "Mom!"
Ivy ran out of her bedroom and found Kay.
"What is it?" Ivy asked.
"She's gone! Thank you so much! She transferred."
"I'm happy for you." Ivy said hugging Kay.
"Well, I'm happy now because I'm going to have the family that I've always wanted."
"You know, Kay. We should have a double wedding."
"I'd love to!"
So it was decided then and there that the next wedding in Harmony would be a double wedding.
"Honey, do you mind staying outside of the room while I talk to Mama?" Theresa asked.
"Go ahead. I'll start the car." He said kissing her gently.
"Thanks, dear."
Theresa walked into her mother's room. Pilar smiled brightly when she saw her daughter.
