Chapter 5
Theresa woke up to see her bed empty; Ethan was gone to work for the day. It was almost noon; she didn't know really what time she had went to sleep maybe 4 or 5. Ethan had sleep through the night like a baby. She never would know how he could be so content and act like what he did to her and her son wasn't bad. He act like he had two different people consuming his body, he would beat her like a government hog then proceed to drift off peacefully to sleep as if he hadn't done a thing.
"Mommy?", Ethan Martin asked, climbing in her bed.
"Ethan, honey how long have you been up?", Theresa asked.
"Not long, Ethan left not to long ago he said for you to remember your promise.", Ethan Martin told her.
Theresa sighed, how in the hell could she continue this affair without Ethan suspecting anything? It was almost as if Ethan had hidden cameras everywhere.
"I know.", Theresa told him.
"Are you going to Fox's?", Ethan Martin asked.
"Yeah, go get dressed.", Theresa told him, noticing the bruise on his cheek. "We got to hide that.", Theresa told him, running her hand softly over the bruise.
"Why? Fox can help us. He can make Ethan stop.", Ethan Martin told her.
"In time baby. He won't…", Theresa began.
"You said that last time. Mom he isn't going to stop, you can't protect me. Ethan is too strong, he's too angry with you.", Ethan Martin told her.
"He'll- Ethan go get dressed.", Theresa told the boy, she was tired of lying to him, of promising things would get better.
Ethan Martin sighed then trotted off to his room.
Sighing, Theresa got up and looked at herself in themirror, the bruises where dark. Ethan had nearly killed them both last night. This had to stop. She had to get pregnant by Fox fast, after that, then what? She would lose her son for good. Fox would lose Candela and Makita. Whitney would hate her, Ethan already hated her. Could she possibly trade one child for another? But, in away everything would be better that way. Julian might have been a scumbag, but at least he wouldn't beat her son.

Getting up startled she crept into the living room.
"Theresa?", Fox asked, continuing to knock. "Theresa are you here, come on open up."
Startled she quickly went to the night stand and quickly applied her make up covering the bruise, then creep to Ethan room and covered his bruise with a little bit of make up then, opened the door.
"What took you so long?", Fox asked, walking in.
"Huh?", Theresa asked.
"I mean I banged and banged on that door.", Fox told her.
"I didn't hear you.", Theresa lied.
"Okay, well why aren't you dressed? Aren't you and Little E coming over?", Fox asked.
"Yeah, I just over slept.", Theresa told him.
"I'd say.", Fox told her, then his lips connected with her.
"What's that for?", Theresa asked surprised.
"What now I have to have a reason to kiss you?", Fox chuckled, his hand creeping up her nightgown.
Theresa let out a giggle then turned to him. "I thought we agreed to meet at your place?"
"Well, when you didn't show up I got worried.", Fox told her, kissing his way down her neck.
"FOX!!! Quit it Little Ethan is here.", Theresa squealed in excitement.
"So.", Fox told her, gently moving the strap to the nightgown to the side and began kissing her bare shoulder.
"Please, baby. Don't. What would Ethan Martin think if he caught his brother in bed with his mother?", Theresa asked.
"That his mother is one lucky girl.", Fox told her.
Theresa hit him playfully. "Fox, please don't. Wait till we get to the cottage."
"Okay, but make it quick I can't wait much longer.", Fox told her, kissing her passionately and leaving her breathless. "I'm going to go help get Little E ready to go.", he told her, then scuffled off into the living room area.
Theresa smiled, then turned to get dressed. Fox and her would have the whole day to do as they please. No Whitney, no Ethan, no worries. Quickly she got out of her nightgown, looking down she notice her body was black and blue.
Sighing she got into the shower, letting the water run over her battered body. Ethan would not hurt her much longer. She'd be free of his torment, but how was this whole thing going to play out? Fox loved her and she loved him, but, somewhere deep down she knew that just might not be enough. There weren't many choices she had. She could get pregnant by him, then proceed to end things and announce a couple days later that she was pregnant with Ethan's baby, but, then again she'd have to sleep with Ethan again, that way she'd keep her son and still have a part of Fox with her, but then again Fox knew of her plan, she knew Fox would demand a DNA test be done and besides Fox would hate her forever, she could risk losing his love. His love was what keep her gong, his love was what keep her warm on cold nights, what keep her from going insane. No, she just couldn't do that to him, she had no other choice but, to get pregnant and fess up to the world that her and Fox where lovers. No matter what she had to escape Ethan's wrath. Yeah, she'd lose hr son and her best friend and Fox might lose his children and inheritance, but in the end it would be worth it. Maybe?

"Theresa, hurry up, the day's passing you by.", Fox told her, starling her and awaking her from her thoughts.
"Just a sec.", Theresa told him drying off her body and going in her room, to see Fox stand there before her.
Before she could say a word he pulled her to him.
"Where's Ethan Martin?", Theresa asked.
"In his room. He's playing with the new toy I gave him.", Fox told her, his hands roaming her nude body. "Now, I get to play with my very special toy."
Theresa smiled up at him, then began unbuttoning his shirt.
Fox smiled down at her and then pushed her down on the bed. Taking his mouth he began to taste her honey toned skin.
Looking down he noticed a bruise covered over half of her stomach.
"Theresa, what happened to you?", Fox asked, gently applying kisses along her stomach and thighs.
"I fell remember?", Theresa told him.
"It don't look like a mark caused by a fall it looks like you were kicked.", Fox told her, looking up to meet her eyes.
"Fox it's nothing.", Theresa told him, her hands running over his tanned chest. "Let it go. I thought you were going to play with your very special toy.", she whispered pressing her nude breast up against his bare chest.
Fox smirked at her then began exploring her body with is mouth again.
"Mmmh.", Theresa sighed, feeling his tongue tease her clit.
"Oh God.", Theresa sighed, feeling him enter his tongue in and out her.
"Mommy, mommy are you alright?", Ethan Martin asked, running into the room catching Fox and Theresa in the act.
Fox looked up at Theresa who was embarrassed and nervous and who had thrown a sheet around herself.
"Mommy, is okay.", Fox told him. "Mommy and your brother where just playing a grown-up game.", Fox told the boy.
"But, mommy was screaming.", Ethan Martin told him.
"Ethan Martin, I'm fine really.", Theresa told the boy. "You ever get happy and scream for no reason?"
"No.", Ethan Martin replied, looking at his mother and half brother like they'd grew another head.
"Well, mommy got happy. It's kind of like winning the lottery.", Theresa told him.
Fox looked at her with a smirk.
"And, you're so happy that you scream in joy and happiness.", Theresa told him.
"Okay, enough games, mommy get ready and let's go.", Ethan Martin told her, leaving the room.
"So, my loving making is like when the lottery?", Fox questioned.
"Don't go getting the big head on me Crane, I didn't know how else to explain it to him.", Theresa told him, going over and putting her underwear on and a white dress.
"So…", Fox began.
"So.", Theresa repeated, before both busted out in laughter.
"I think your son thinks we're both weird.", Fox told her.
"Yeah.", Theresa agreed.
"You don't think he'll tell Ethan do you?", Fox asked.
"No.", Theresa replied. "Ethan isn't his favorite person these days."
"Really?", Fox questioned. " I thought all kids loved the sainted Ethan."
"Not Ethan he takes that much from you.", Theresa told him.
