Although Theresa had told Luis that she would marry Fox, she sat by on her bed in the middle of the night looking at the ring thinking back to all of the times Fox was there for her. She smiled to herself as she remembered how Fox had said that she had a one track mind.
"I can't believe I'm over Ethan," she said to herself quietly. "I thought we would be together forever."
Theresa took the ring out of the little black box and placed it on her finger. She stood before the mirror and looked at it upon her finger. She laughed as she held out her left hand as though she was meeting someone for the first time.
"It's nice to meet you, Mrs. Crane," she said in a deep voice.
"Likewise," she said as she held out her hand.
Theresa couldn't stop gazing at it. It was beautiful, the ring Ethan gave her didn't even compare. She placed it back in the box and slipped it under her pillow.
"I'll sleep on it."
The next morning Rebecca called a friend of her's for help in ruining Theresa.
"Alex?"
"Yes."
"Hi! It's Rebecca, Rebecca Crane."
"Hello, Rebecca. What brings about this pleasant call?" He asked sarcastically.
"Well, I need your help. I'm going to ruin this bitch who won't stay out of my daughter's marriage. She needs to learn to stay the hell away from Ethan and Gwen once and for all."
"I see. So how can I help you? You want her killed?"
"I'd love nothing more, but that would be too painless and too quick. I want the bitch to suffer."
"So what did you have in mind?"
"Well...."
"Not bad for a beginner," he laughed."
"Beginner? Oh no, I'm very experienced...and I mean that in more than one way if you know what I mean," she giggled.
"Yeah...well, when did you want this happening?"
"Not for sometime yet. See this is how it's all going to play out..."
"I must say, Becky, you've done it this time!" He laughed loudly. "You really must hate her."
"Oh I do, Alex. You have no idea how much pain this chalupa has caused."
"So we'll be in touch then?"
"Yes, we will. You'll hear from me in about a month or so."
"Alright. Stay out of trouble until then."
"Oh I will!" She laughed.
Theresa stopped by the mansion the next day to give Fox his answer. She was sure that he was waiting anxiously, little did she know that he could care less.
"Theresa?" He said a little surprised to see her. "What are you doing here?"
"We need to talk," she said looking deep into his eyes.
Fox knew that she meant business. They walked up to his room and locked the door so they wouldn't be interrupted by outsiders. Fox sat down beside Theresa and could sense that she was nervous.
"Fox," she began slowly, "I've been doing a lot of thinking. It's true, you are one of my best friends. I'll always cherish our frienship. Since you came to Harmony I've found that I could confide in you. Sometimes I find myself telling you things that I wouldn't tell anyone...not even Whitney. You're a true friend and not like any of the Cranes. I've always admired the goodness in you, Fox. You've been able to see the good in me and I can't tell you how that makes me feel. You gave me a chance when everyone said to stay away. I thought last night that I might not be able to say yes because you are too good of a man for me. I don't deserve you. But then I didn't deserve Ethan either. I love you, Fox, and if you want me to, I'll be your wife."
Fox smiled and kissed Theresa, "Of course I want you to be my wife. I wouldn't have it any other way."
Theresa hugged Fox and sighed.
"Let's go tell everyone the good news," Fox said taking her by her hand.
Fox and Theresa walked downstairs hand in hand. Theresa was so happy for once. She really felt that Fox was the one for her.
"Father," Fox said as they approached Julian who was looking at a picture of Eve, "I have some great news!"
"What? You're leaving Harmony for good this time?"
"No, why would I do that? I have a wedding to plan."
Julian looked at Theresa and Fox as though they had delievered the worst news ever.
"What?"
"We're engaged," he said holding out Theresa's hand to him.
"I don't believe this!" He said as he poured himself a glass of brandy.
"Believe or not, it's happening. And of course you are going to help pay for this extraordinary wedding," he said tapping his father on the back.
Fox pulled Theresa out of there before she cracked up.
"Fox!" She laughed. "He's not going to pay for a wedding when it includes me."
"He will, Theresa. My family is going to do just what I want."
[i]And so are you.[/i]
Just then they saw Rebecca walk through the hall.
"Oh please let me tell Rebecca!" Theresa begged. "This will be so much fun!"
"Okay, just make sure you do it good enough to give her a scare for her money."
[i]It's a shame I have to ruin her, she has such fire and passion.[/i]
Fox had to run to catch up with Theresa who was already talking to Rebecca.
"Theresa, what the hell do you want? I'm a very busy person and I have appointments to keep."
"Oh well, Rebecca, I'd hate to keep you from your affairs, but I wanted to ask you what you thought about turning your old room into a nursery."
"A nursery?"
"Yes, that's right. See," she said sticking her hand in her face, "Fox and I are getting married and Little Ethan needs a room."
"You're getting married?"
"That's right," Theresa smiled, expecting Rebecca to start bitching.
"Congratulations!"
"What?" Theresa was confused.
"Congratulations! I mean it from the bottom of my heart. Now excuse me, I have my appoinments to keep."
Theresa stood there more confused than ever.
"Did what I think happen just happen?"
"Yeah, it did," he acted surprised.
"I don't understand, Fox. I thought she'd be screaming and moaning."
"Well, at least she didn't. Come on, we have everyone to tell still. You know what?"
"What?"
"I'll let you tell Ivy. You can at least get a good kick out of her."
"Okay," she smiled.
Ivy didn't react that bad to the news though. She was happy that Fox had found someone who he loved. Honestly she was glad that Theresa had moved onto Fox and left Ethan alone for once. Pilar wasn't so sure of Fox's intentions though. She was afraid that Theresa was moving to quickly and she told her that. Theresa tried to explain it so Pilar would understand, but Pilar couldn't.
Fox went home early that night. He had something that he needed to do, actually he had someone he needed to speak to.
"Dylan?"
"Fox?"
"Yeah, hey man what's up?"
"Nothing, I'm just keeping cool. How was L.A.?"
"Crazy," Fox laughed.
"Oh really? How's that sexy woman you had that fight with?"
"Dylan, we're engaged."
"What the..."
"Yeah I know. Kind of fast."
"Damn you work fast! Of course I'll be the first to get an invitation right?"
"We'll see."
"What's wrong?"
"Huh?"
"Fox, I can tell that something's bothering you. That's why you called. Now are you going to tell me or are we going to dance around in circles for a few more minutes?"
Fox laughed, "I may have asked her to marry me, but not for the right reasons."
"What do you mean?"
"Dylan, I'm only marrying her to get revenge."
"What!?"
"See my new step-mother, Rebecca, and I have a plan. We're going to..."
"Fox, what the fuck are you thinking!? Honestly why are you going to through such a good thing away? I thought you loved her? Or at least that's what I got from all your emails."
"Dylan, come on! Revenge is the best payback. You must agree with that."
"Yeah, I do in some cases, but not this one. Fox, if you go through with this you aren't the guy I knew. You're different than everyone else in your family. I knew that from the first time we put glue on Mr. Ames chair."
Fox laughed remembering how much fun that was.
"What do you think I should do, Dylan?"
"Forget this whole plan, call off the engagement, and get to know her more before you make the biggest mistake of your life."
"I thought you'd say that," Fox said hanging up the phone.
