Everyone was surprised to see Theresa walk inside.
"Theresita, is that really you?" Pilar asked.
"Yes, it is Mama." Theresa smiled as she hugged her mother.
"What are you doing back?" Miguel asked as he hugged her.
"It's a long story, but I waned to get back to my son. Where is he?"
"Taking a nap." Luis informed her.
"Hi Luis!"
"Hey sis!"
"Theresa, you're back?" Antonio asked.
"Yes, I'm back."
"Well it's good to see you again."
"Have you guys found Sheridan yet?"
"Yes, we have." Luis said.
"Is she and the baby okay?"
"The baby died," Antonio told her, "but Sheridan is fine. She thinks Beth's baby is her's but at least she's okay."
Theresa nodded her head. Theresa looked behind her and signaled someone.
"Whose that, Theresita?"
"Mama, it's Fox, my boyfriend." Theresa smiled.
"Boyfriend?" Luis asked.
"Since when have you been dating Fox?" Antonio asked.
"I'll fill you all in with the details later, but right now I just want to see my son. Excuse me for a moment."
Fox walked inside and sat down with everyone. All of Theresa's brothers kept staring at him as though he wasn't good enough for her.
"Fox, may I speak to you alone?" Pilar asked.
"Yeah, of course. Excuse me guys."
Fox walked into the kitchen with Pilar.
"What's up, Pilar?"
"Fox, I want you to treat Theresita good. She's been through a lot with Ethan. Now I know things may not always work out for you guys, but whatever you do don't break her heart."
"I won't Pilar." He lied. "I promise I won't."
"Do you love her or is this just a game?" Luis asked walking in.
"Luis, I love your sister. I won't hurt her."
"Yeah well I don't know about that. Ethan broke her heart."
"Am I Ethan?"
"No."
"Exactly. I'm different from him. Ethan was stupid to let Theresa go. I'm glad she's mine."
"You're not just using her for sex or something are you?" Miguel asked walking in now.
"No, we haven't slept together even. Do you guys think I'm that wrong for her?"
"Fox, we just don't want to see Theresa go through all the pain again that she has been through." Antonio said.
"Well, don't worry. I would never break her heart. Well, if you all will excuse me, I must be headed for the mansion. Please tell Theresa that I'll call her tonight."
"We will, Fox." Pilar said.
Theresa slowly opened the door to Lil Ethan's room. She smiled as she watched him sleep there so peacefully. She sat down beside him and gently rubbed his face. He woke up to her touch.
"Mama?"
"Hi honey," she said quietly.
"I missed you."
"I've missed you too, honey."
"Are you home now for good?" He asked still a little tired.
"Yes, for good. Now go back to sleep. I'll talk to you when you wake up."
Before Theresa was finished Lil Ethan was back to sleep. Theresa laughed a little.
[i]I'm really a luck woman.[/i]
Fox walked into the mansion to find that his father wasn't exactly happy to see him back.
"I thought I told you to leave Harmony?"
"You did, but I came back. I've had enough of L.A. society, besides my girlfriend lives here."
"Girlfriend?"
"Yes, father. I actually have one."
"Whose the poor lady?"
Fox laughed, "You're well, can't really say ex-wife, but I bet you know who I'm talking about." He smiled.
"Theresa? You're going out with Theresa?"
"Yes, father I am. Is that a problem?"
"Why would you go out with that gold digger?"Rebecca asked.
"Because I love her, Rebecca. Plain and simple. I love her. Oh, but then again you wouldn't know what love is. You only look for sex and the pleasure it gives you."
"Pookie! Don't let him speak to me like that!"
Julian laughed, "Sorry, Rebecca. The kid has a point."
"Ugh! Am I the only one around here with enough sense and decency?"
"Don't even go there, Rebecca. Those are two things you never had to begin with." Fox said.
Again Julian laughed.
"Pookie!" Rebecca said as she punched him.
"Ouch! Fox, stop that now."
"Whatever, father."
"Ring!"
"Excuse me I have a phone call," Fox said.
Fox headed to his room and he answered his call.
"Hello?"
"Fox, I can't go through with hurting Theresa." Gwen informed him.
"What?! Why not?"
"Theresa isn't as bad as I thought. I'd like to be friends with her now. I'm sorry."
"You're sorry? Now what the hell am I going to do?"
"I don't know. But whatever you do it's going to be without me. I'm sorry, Fox, but I have to go. It's time to feed Sarah."
Fox couldn't believe that Gwen would quit like that.
[i]Now I'm gonna have to do this myself.[/i]
Fox laid down on his bed and remembered why he was trying to get revenge on Theresa in the first place.
"Isn't it wonderful, Nick?"
Fox stopped where he was and stared at her intensely.
"Nick, is something wrong?" She asked nervously. She didn't understand why he was looking at her that way.
"Why are you calling me Nick? My name is Fox."
"Nick is much more sophisticated. Don't you think? Besides how will a girl take anyone serious with a name like Fox?"
A look of hurt appeared across Fox's face and Theresa noticed that she had insulted him.
"Listen, I didn't mean to insult you." She apologized.
"No, it's alright. Call me whatever you want, it doesn't matter to me. But answer this for me."
Theresa nodded her head with approval.
"Why must you always compare me to Ethan? I know you're only calling my Nick because Ethan goes by Ethan and not a nickname or middle name."
"Fox, I swear I have never compared you to Ethan. Honestly!" She smiled.
Fox tried to believe her, but it was hard too. He loved her, but would she ever get over Ethan?
[i]Is that how it all started? Because she called me Nick and not Fox?[/i]
Fox continued to remember that awful night.
As Fox kissed Theresa along her neck she moaned, "Fox...Fox...we...we can't be doing this." And she pulled away.
Fox fell to the bottom of the pool.
[i]"Now what's wrong?"[/i] He thought as he again resurfaced.
Theresa had gotten out of the pool and wrapped a towel around her by the time he was above the water.
"Theresa, what's wrong? I thought you liked it? I thought you had feelings for me?" He asked without a clue.
"This was all a big mistake!" She exclaimed and began to cry as she gathered her things.
"Theresa," he said as he stepped in front of her and got her to stop what she was doing, "Theresa, I love you! I always have, I guess I was too stupid before to realize it."
"Why was this all a mistake?" He wondered if it had anything to do with Ethan.
"Because!" She said before running away from Fox. Fox though was not about to give up so he ran after her.
Finally Fox caught up to her and grabbed her gently by the arm and asked, "Is it because of Ethan? Just answer me this one question."
Theresa hadn't been able to look at Fox, but she felt like she had to at that very moment, and when she looked up at him he had tears in his eyes and a hurt look on his face. The same expression he gave whenever she talked about Ethan.
"Fox, what do you want from me?!" She shouted. "I love Ethan, only Ethan! Can't you comprehend that? Oh wait! That's right," she said as she snapped her fingers suddenly, "you got kicked out of so many schools over and over again, I'm sure you didn't learn jack!"
[i]I gave her my heart and all she did was rip it apart like it meant nothing.[/i]
"Don't even start with my life, Theresa! Hell your life is far from perfect! Not only have you slept with my half-brother, but you even slept with my father! God that's so sick to think of!" He yelled.
Tears were now welling up in Theresa's eyes.
"Your father took advantage of me!" She shouted back. "I didn't want to sleep with him!"
"Don't blame my father! I bet you wanted to see how many Crane men you could sleep with. Is that it?"
"No! No! No! Go to hell Fox!" She yelled.
[i]I only made things worse by yelling at her. Why couldn't I have just shut up?I ruined any kind of happiness with her.[/i]
"NO! You and your bastard child my father and you made can go to hell and stay there till the end of time!"
Theresa couldn't just sit there and listen to him call her child names. So she stood up and with all of her might slugged him in the mouth.
"I swear, Fox, you'll pay for calling my child a bastard child! You will pay!" She said vindictively.
"Go ahead, Theresa! Make my day!" He laughed. "I'm a Crane! The only Crane heir and don't forget that!"
"What do you mean by the only Crane heir? My son is also an heir."
"Nothing...in time you'll see." He said as he rubbed his mouth and spit out the blood that was in his mouth. Theresa did know how to do one thing right....hit a man.
[i]Why did I say that about the little guy? Theresa's doesn't even know the sad truth about him. It's gonna kill her when she learns the truth about his father.[/i]
"Why can't I stop thinking about that night?" He asked himself. "I mean I love her, but she hurt me and she has to pay, right? Anyone who hurts a Crane needs to pay." He paused, "Now that Gwen's gone, how will I do that? I'll think about that tomorrow." He said as he turned off the lights and fell asleep.
