CH. 18

"Is this it?" Fox asked, carrying the heavy suitcase out to Dylan's car.

"Yup that would be the last one." Dylan replied closing the trunk door.

"Hey man, I just wanted to thank you again for everything that you said to Theresa." Fox stopped in front of the car. "I really appreciate it."

"Don't mention it. Besides you were right I was being a big jerk and I just did what I had to do." Dylan smiled at his friend.

"Well anyways, don't forget to call me when you get back home. I'll make sure to tell Little Ethan and Theresa bye for you." Fox shut the car door as Dylan got in.

"Thanks man, she really is a great girl. I hope everything goes well for you guys." Dylan said buckling up his seatbelt. "Catch ya later Fox!"

"Alright see you later buddy!" Fox waved to Dylan as he pulled out of the driveway.

He was glad that they managed to patch things up before Dylan left. He really was a good friend.

"Hey Fox! Are you ready to go?" Little Ethan called.

"Hey Little E! Yeah I'm about ready, if your beautiful mother says it's ok." Fox kissed Theresa.

"Yes, I think we can go. Little Ethan is way too excited to go to this baseball game. I think he just might explode if we don't leave at this very minute." She smiled taking Little Ethan's hand, as Fox took the other.

"Ok then! Little E you are going to have so much fun at this game." Fox smiled at him as they walked together. "Hopefully we can catch a real baseball so you can start a collection."

"Yeah!! That'll be so cool!" Little Ethan grinned.

Suddenly an old woman walking towards them stopped and smiled at the three of them.

"My my, now don't you three make a lovely family!" she smiled.

"Oh I'm sorry mam, I'm not his fath---" Fox was about to say.

"Um," Theresa interrupted. "Thank you mam. We are a happy family aren't we?" She smiled up at Fox.

"Yes, yes we are." Fox smiled back.

He gently kissed her on her forehead, as the three of them walked happily together towards the beautiful orange sunset.
