Theresa didn't sleep at all that night. All she could do was worry about Fox. Would he go off to war? If so would he be killed in battle? Or be taken for a prisioner? So many things could happen to him, she may lose him before they even begin they're lives together. Fox didn't sleep so well either. Whenever he closed his eyes he could see Theresa weeping after getting a letter saying he had died. It was something he never wanted Theresa to face.
Even though Theresa couldn't eat a bite at breakfast, she made a big breakfats fit for a king or just for Fox. He noticed that Theresa wasn't eating anything and it upset him greatly, but he didn't say a thing. Nothing was really said at breakfast besides, "Pass the butter" or Would you like some more milk?" Fox couldn't stand the silence and just as he was about to break it the phone rang. Both of their eyes fell on the phone. They had heard last night that phone calls would be made so the men would know when to come and enlist. They dreaded the phone for fear that it might be the one phone call to change their lives. Fox didn't want Theresa to answer it so he did.
"Hello?" He said. Fox paused and said, "Count me in. I'll be down at 1:00 p.m. Bye." The call was short and quick. Fox grew pale as he turned to face Theresa. Once she saw the look on his face she knew that was the call they feared. She dropped the dishes she was holding and ran up stairs.
"Wait Theresa!" Fox called after her.
She locked herself in her bedroom and fell down beside the door as she broke into tears. Fox knocked repeatedly on the door begging her to open up.
"Please open the door." He begged for the thousanth time.
"Noo!" She cried. "How can you just leave me? I thought you loved me!"
"I do, baby, I do, but Ihave to do this."
"Why!? Why!? Why!?"
"Because if I don't I'll never be able to look at myself in the mirror. I won't look at myself as a man and I won't be good for you. You would deserve someone better than me."
"I wouldn't!" She cried out louder.
"Theresa, please open the door so we can talk."
Theresa opened the door and they held on to each other for dear life. They sat and talked about the future, but they wouldn't know what the future would hold for them.
"Please marry me so I can go." He said.
"I don't want to lose you. I already lost papa. It seems like I'm losing everyone I love. I just don't want to lose someone else." She confessed.
That night Fox and Theresa had a little ceremony with just a clse circle of friends. They said "I do forever," but they didn't know it that was going to be true. Fox enlisted that morning and was told that he would be sent out the next morning. he wouldn't be doing any fighting against other armies only against disease and wounds. They shared a magical evening together, but in the morning they had to go to the station. they held on to each other for what seemed like an eternity at the station. It was so sad watching children say goodbye to their fathers, brother, etc.
"All aboard!" the conductor said for the final time.
Theresa tried not to cry, she promised Fox she wouldn't try to because he wanted to picture her as beautiful as the day they met.
"You be safe." She said a little choked up."Make sure to write to me whenever you can."
"I love you." He kissed her.
"I love you too!" She exclaimed as the tears began to well up in her eyes.
He got on and stayed on the stairs so he could watch Theresa until that made that turn around the bend in the road. But Fox pulled her up as the train started off slow. They shared their last kiss for now and she jumped off. As the train disappeared, Theresa broke into tears.
"Goodbye, Fox." She said softly.
The next few days were so hard. She was left all alone inside that big house. It didn't seem so big before, but then again she had Fox beside her then.
A week passed since Fox left. Theresa started to get use to not having Fox around. That afternoon she walked to the post office and found that she had a letter from Fox. She tore that envelope open as fast as she could.
[i]Dear my lovely wife, Theresa,
I've missed you so much. How are you doing right now? I haven't been on a battle field yet so I hope you're happy to hear that. I'm training with some other doctors right now somewhere in London. I'm not exactly sure where in London besides if I knew I couldn't tell you for reasons I'm sure you understand. The only thing that keeps me going everyday is knowing that you're safe at home with friends and loved ones near by to help you. They brought one victum to us yesterday and he was pretty bad, near death in matter of fact, but we saved him. Thank God we did. I'm sorry to make this short, but I have to get back. I just wanted you to know that I'm safe. I love you.
Love always and forever,
Fox
P.S. Did you know I love you?[/i]
"Oh thank God he's alright!" Theresa sighed as she put the letter against her heart. "Only if you were here in my arms."
That whole week she recieved long and beautiful letters from him describing everything in detail. Next week though his letter was very different.
[i] Theresa,
I have to be quick about this because I'm now on grounds where fighting is taking place. I just wanted you to know that I won't be able to write as much and as long. But don't be alarmed if you don't get a letter from me for weeks at a time. But please continue to send me your lovely letters because I sleep with them at night thinking and dreaming about you. I love you.
Love always and forever,
Fox[/i]
Theresa understood perfectly that Fox wouldn't be able to write as much, but she began to have a funny feeling that something was wrong. It was three months since she last heard from him. She proved that that funny feeling was right 5 months after he had been gone. She walked to the post office like everyday, but unlike everyday she had got a bundle of letters. As looked them over she realized that the letters were the ones she had given him months ago. Theresa grabbed her stomach and went to see the doctor.
"You really must take it easy if you want to have this baby." He said. "I know it must be hard for you with Fox gone, but you need to take it easy. I think you should move back in with your family until Fox returns. That way they could help you out."
"I'm going to do that." She told him. "I really could use the help. Thank you, doctor."
That night Theresa went home and told her mother just what she was going to do. Her family welcomed her back home with open arms.
