Theresa rolled over to see him sleeping next to her still.
"Wake up," she wishpered softly into his ear.
When he didn't move, Theresa smiled.
"Ethan, wake up, honey."
Ethan finally started to wake up.
"Good morning!" He smiled at his beautiful girlfriend.
"Morning to you too." She smiled back.
"You know," he began sitting up in bed, "I've been thinking. Maybe today we can spend the whole day in bed just laying around and..."
"No," she stopped him. "I have to go to the doctor. Remember?"
"Yeah, I do. Well, maybe afterwards..."
"No," she stopped him again. "I have to stop by Whitney's. She said that she has some great and exciting news to tell me."
"Well, I don't think she'd mind if we..."
"Ethan!" Theresa laughed. "Not now. Maybe later," she said as she wrapped the bed sheets around her and went to take a shower.
Theresa took her shower and quickly dressed herself. She was going to meet Ethan downstairs, but as she walked down she stopped in her tracks.
"You're married?" Julian asked.
"Yes, father, I am." Fox told him.
Theresa sat down on a stair after feeling weakly suddenly. Fox turned his attention to the stairs and saw Theresa looking rather surprised. Their eyes connected as they looking longingly into each other's eyes. Fox suddenly turned his head away from her.
"Excuse me, I have to go and tell Ethan," he said as he left.
Julian walked up the stairs and took a seat next to Theresa.
"You still love him."
Theresa wasn't paying attention to him at first, but once he spoke she turned her head and smiled weakly.
"Yes, I do."
"It must hurt to hear that he's married."
She nodded her head as she wipped away her tears.
"It's what I get for signing those damn divorce papers!" She exclaimed.
"Theresa, I know we haven't always seen eye to eye,"
"That's for sure."
"I see how much you love my son and when I was talking to him, I could tell that he still loved you. I think he only married Victoria to try and keep you off his mind. He doesn't love her."
"Julian, I know you're trying to help, but it's not. He's married and I'm with Ethan. We've moved on. We're finished. Besides, I'm happy for once in a long time."
Julian squeezed her hand and left. He knew that it was killing Theresa that she couldn't be with Fox.
"Maybe they'll find their way back together yet," Julian thought as he picked up the phone and called Eve.
Theresa recomposed herself and walked downstairs to where everyone was eating breakfast. Theresa kissed Ethan's cheek as she sat beside him.
"Fox, please join us for breakfast," Ivy said.
"Thank you," he said taking the seat across from Theresa.
Theresa could hardly eat anything. She couldn't stop thinking about Fox. It had been three months since she last saw him and he didn't even say hello. She soaked her pancake in syrup as she gazed at Fox every so often. Fox didn't eat much himself. He couldn't keep his eyes off Theresa.
[i]So she's moved on with Ethan
I'd like to meet this bitch Victoria[/i]
After breakfast Theresa grabbed her coat and told Ethan she was leaving.
"I'm going now, honey," she said as she walked between Ethan and Fox and kissed Ethan on the lips.
Fox grew jealous. He knew that Theresa should be kissing him not Ethan.
"I should be back within a few hours," she said.
"Okay, have fun," he said as he kissed her back.
Once Theresa walked out the door, Fox said he had to leave and he followed her outside.
"Theresa, wait!" He called out.
Theresa knew that she should just keep going, but she had to stop and wait.
"Hi," he said approaching her.
"A little late for hi, don't you think?" She said coldy as she put her gloves on.
"Theresa, I hope you know what I did was for your own good."
"My own good?" She stopped and turned to him. "My own good!? Fox, how can you say that? I love you! You're the best thing for me!"
"Theresa, please don't be angry with me."
"Oh I'm not angry." She laughed. "I've had three months to get over being angry with you. I pity you now."
"Pity?" He said garbbing her by her shoulders. "Why?"
"Because you can't see what you have before your eyes. Fox, you've lost me and you're [i]never[/i] getting me back." She removed his hands and walked away leaving him something to think about.
Theresa sat patiently in the doctor's office waiting for her appointment. She figured that she probably had a flu bug or something, so she wasn't worried.
"Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald," The nurse said, "the doctor is ready to see you."
"Hi Theresa!" Eve smiled.
"Hi Dr. Russell!"
"So what bring you here today?"
"Well, I think I may have the flu or something. I've been feeling so sick to my stomach."
"Any headachs? Umm...have you thrown up at all?"
"Both."
"I see. Well, I'm going to take a blood and urine test. Just to make sure."
"Okay."
An hour later Eve had the results.
"Well, is it the flu?" Theresa asked anxiously.
"No," Eve smiled.
"Well, what is it?"
"Theresa, you're pregnant."
Theresa smiled, "Pregnant?"
Eve nodded, "Yes, I'd like to set an appointment soon as possible for an ultrasound."
Theresa nodded in shock.
[i]Pregnant?[/i]
"Could you do an ultrasound right now?" She asked.
"Actually yes, I don't have any more appointments for a while. Let me go and get a few things. I'll be back."
Once Theresa was alone she said to herself, "I wonder if Fox is the father."
Eve came back and did the ultrasound.
"Can you tell if it's a boy or a girl?" She asked.
"Not yet, but soon. You want to know the sex?"
"Yeah," she smiled. "Um..how far along am I?"
"A little over 3 months."
[i]Fox is the father![/i]
Theresa smiled, "Great. That's great."
"Now, I want you to set up another appointment for as soon as possible so we can start you up on some vitamins and make sure everything is going fine."
"Okay."
"Congratulations, Theresa!"
"Thanks."
"Um, Theresa, I don't mean to butt in, but whose the father? Fox or Ethan?"
"You know, I think it's Ethans."
"I'm sorry."
"It's okay. I'm rather relieved that Ethan is the father."
Eve nodded her head as Theresa left.
Theresa went by Whitney's to see what was up and to tell her the great news.
"Whit! I have the best news!" She exclaimed.
"Me too!" Whitney smiled.
"Well, go on."
"Theresa, Chad proposed to me and we are getting married!"
Both girls screamed with excitement.
"Oh Whit! I'm so happy for you!" The hugged.
"I can't believe that we are getting married. It's a dream come true. Wait!" She paused. "What's your news?"
"I'm pregnant!"
"Oh this is great! Oh Ethan must be thrilled!"
Theresa stopped smiling, "Ethan doesn't know. Besides it's Fox's. Not his."
Whitney stopped celebrating herself.
"How do you feel about that?"
"I don't know. But it might be Ethan's. Honestly I don't know."
"What are you going to tell Ethan?"
"I'm not sure."
Theresa went home, not knowing what to do.
[i]Do I tell Fox the truth? If I do it will break Ethan's heart...and our future.[/i]
Theresa was still confused as she walked up to Ethan's room and found him asleep with Little Ethan next to him. Theresa smiled becuase they looked so much like a family. Theresa took off her coat and slid next to Ethan. She fell asleep with the two men she loved the most.
"Theresa? Wake up," Ethan told her softly.
"Huh?" She said still sleeping.
"Theresa, we need to talk."
Theresa woke up and saw that Ethan was looking very serious.
"What's wrong?"
"Theresa, what happened at the doctors?"
"Oh um..." she paused. She didn't know what to say. "I'm pregnant."
"Are you serious?"
"Yeah."
"Am I the father?"
"Must you really ask that?"
"Well, it's just that Fox and you were married..."
"Ethan, you are the father," she regreted the words as they came out.
"This is wonderful! Theresa, will you marry me?"
"What?" She was shocked.
"Will you marry me? Theresa, I love you so much. Now we can be the family that we should've been a long time ago."
Theresa looked into his eyes and she couldn't resist.
"Yes, Ethan. I'll marry you."
