Chapter 6
"I can't believe you still insist on going home, Teresa. Are you sure I can't convince you to stay here with me?" Fox begged.
"No, Fox. You know I love you to death, but I have a son at home waiting on me. Well, eventually come and visit and I insist on you coming to visit us also. You've got a lot to teach him you know."
Fox liked the sound of that, "Yeah, I guess I do, huh? Tell the little guy I said hi when you get home. Call me when you get back to Harmony so that I know you made it there safely."
"Are you sure you want come back to live in Harmony, Fox?"
"Come on, Teresa. You know you're the only one that even cares if I'm there. Besides, I kind of like it here in L.A. I've got the recording studio to run and I feel like I'm making progress with my grandfather and showing him I'm capable of one day running the empire."
"I'll miss you, Fox. Harmony just want be the same without you."
"And L.A. won't be the same without you, Teresa." Fox hugged her. "Good luck, Teresa. I have a feeling you're going to need it when you get back home. Rebecca and my mother will be out for blood."
"I'm not afraid of them, Fox. You should already know that." Teresa smiled.
"Yeah, one of the many reasons I'm so crazy about you."
"Any last words of advice."
"Just that all you dreams are waiting for you, Teresa, you just have to be willing to let fate takes it course. Don't force it. I know you say that you're over Ethan, but you're not. Give yourself time to get over him, and don't rush into a relationship that you're not ready for."
"When did you get so smart, Fox?" Teresa looked at him amazed.
"I guess you've just brought out the best in me." He pulled her closer into him. "Have a safe flight. Don't forget, call me when you get there."
Teresa held onto Fox tightly, "I will. I miss you already, Fox."
"But I know you miss your son even more. Go on or you're going to miss your flight." He eventually let go of her.
"Bye, Fox. Hope to see you soon." Teresa kissed him on the cheek and then turned and walked down the terminal.
Fox waved one last time and smiled as Teresa disappeared out of his sight. He walked back to his car and as he pulled his car out of the airport he wondered why seeing Teresa go had hurt him so much. It wasn't like he was in love with her or anything. Sure, they were good friend, maybe even the best of friends, but why did he feel like a big piece of him was missing.
Teresa stepped aboard the airplane and quickly found her seat. She put her purse and small carryall bag into the upper storage compartment and took her seat. She looked out the window at the beautiful blue L.A. sky. She had for the most part enjoyed her time in L.A. Of course, there had been the disaster of Gwen loosing her baby, but she had never meant for that to happen, but she was sure she would get the full blame from everyone in Harmony.
Teresa had to admit that she didn't like Gwen. In fact, she down right hated her. But even she wouldn't wish this on her worst enemy. She thought of her beautiful blonde haired son and how she loved him with all her heart. He was her life and she couldn't imagine life without him. She thought back to how she had almost aborted him when she first learned that she was pregnant. She knew that she could have never gone through with it, but it scared her that she might not love this child that she had created with Julian Crane. It wasn't until Teresa first laid her eyes on her newborn son that she realized that she would love him no matter what. It didn't matter to her that he was conceived in a drunken state, with a man that she and half of Harmony despised. She loved him anyways.
For some reason though, Teresa felt almost empty. She knew that she would be happy when she got back to see her son, there was no questioning that, but for some reason even that didn't seem to totally fill her void. What was wrong with her? she wondered. Why all of a sudden did she seem so lonely?
"I can't believe you still insist on going home, Teresa. Are you sure I can't convince you to stay here with me?" Fox begged.
"No, Fox. You know I love you to death, but I have a son at home waiting on me. Well, eventually come and visit and I insist on you coming to visit us also. You've got a lot to teach him you know."
