Chapter 7
Theresa lay there breathing in his scent. She silently prayed for his child to be growing in her. Prayed for an excape from Ethan and his terrible way of punishing her and her son

"Resa, are you okay?", Fox asked, pulling her naked body up against his.

"Yea.", she sighed.

"Something is wrong, I can tell.", he cooed.

"No. it's just…", she trailed off. "Fox, don't okay, it's our time and I don't feel like arguing.

"Theresa, I know you okay. I can tell you're not okay. Something has been going on with you.", he told her, when she didn't answer he became worried. "Is it Ethan? Resa, is he- is he hurting you? Is he beating you? Is he hurting both you and Ethan Martin?"

"No.", Theresa lied, shacking her head as she did so.

"Theresa, you're lying to me.", Fox told her.

"Fox let it go okay, Ethan isn't hurting neither of us, it's just…Fox I'm-I want to be pregnant I want to have your child.", Theresa told him.

Fox smiled down at her. "In time. Theresa, I want you to carry my baby too. So bad, Resa."

"Well, that just means one thing…", she began getting his full attention.

"What's that?", Fox asked.

"Well…we'll have to work extra hard Mr. Crane.", Theresa told him, kissing his lips.

"But, not now.", Fox told her.

Theresa gave him a fake pout. "Why, not?"

"I got to get some work done.", Fox told her.

"What would one more round hurt?", Theresa asked.

Fox laughed. "I knew hiring you as full time nanny and putting my office at home was a mistake. How do you expect me to get any work done around here. Hell woman you could seduce a priest."

Theresa let out a laugh. "Seduce a priest?"

"Yeah, even father Lonigan would give into temptation if the temptation was you.", he replied.

She laughed, then turned to him. "I guess you're right, I'll go check on the kids.", she got up and put on her clothes as did he.

"I said no.", Ethan Martin told Candela. "I don't want to watch Power Puff Girls."

"It's my house.", she told him. "And I say.", he reach out and kicked her. "No, I'm watch Power Rangers."

Candela grabbed her leg. "What in the world was that for? You hurt me.", she cried.

"Quit you're crying you bitch, I didn't hurt you. Big Girls don't cry.", he told her.

"Ethan Martin, what are you doing?", Theresa asked, as she walked in.

"Aunt Theresa, he kicked me.", the girl grabbed her leg.

"Ethan Martin, the whore deserved it.", he told her, she was shocked by fear he was sounding more and more like Ethan.

"No, she didn't.", Theresa relied, covering her shock and hurt.

"She wouldn't let me watch Power Rangers.", Ethan Martin told her.

"That doesn't give you a right...", Theresa began.

"Yes it does.", Ethan Martin told her.

Fox came in to see what the commotion was.

"Ethan go to the kitchen I'll talk to you in a sec.", Theresa told him.

"What happened?", Fox asked.

"He kicked me.", Candela whined.

Ethan Martin rolled his eyes in a disgusted look.

"Fox, can you stay with her, I need to talk to my son, in private.", Theresa told asked, then turned and walked in the kitchen.

Ethan Martin, punched the wall. "She deserved it."

"Ethan, can we talk?", Theresa asked, her son.

"No, what is there to talk about? She didn't do as I told her, she's a woman she ought to be thankful…",Ethan Martin begin.

"Quit it, Ethan Martin, you quit it, you aren't Ethan, baby you aren't…", Theresa began.

"Why can Ethan do it and I can't , mama it isn't fair, he beats you no one makes him stop.", the boy told her, tears wheeling up in his eyes. "Mama, I'm- I'm sorry, it's just…", the boy began to weep.

"Shh, don't, don't baby, don't cry.", Theresa told him.

"Mama, why don't you make him stop? Why do you let him beat us?", Ethan Martin asked.

"Baby, I- it's going to be over soon, just hold, you're the only one who knows this, keep it that way, Fox can't know baby, not now.", Theresa told him.

"Can I tell him, one day?", Ethan Martin asked.

"Yeah, one day it'll be over, one day you'll never have to fear, but no more, you're by little man, you aren't a abuser, you're my son, not Ethan's way of continuing the legacy. It stops at him, you aren't going to continue his twisted ways.", she pulled her son to her and they both cried, and both hoped that the future would find them safe from Ethan's abuse.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx "Whitney, what's wrong?", Chad asked.

"Nothing, okay, can we just record this song and get it over with.", she was shaken' from what had just happened with Ethan.

"Whit…", he began.

"Chad, please, I just want, I want to get this this song sung, I want to be with you.", she told him, kissing his lips.

"Okay.", he told her, noticing how shaken' she was.

"Whit, something's wrong, please tell me, is it Fox is he hurting you, baby cause I swear my hand to…", Chad began.

"No, Fox is great, yeah, I don't love him and never will, be he isn't an abuser, it's just, I'm worried over Theresa and Ethan Martin I think, Ethan has changed…", she began.

"Ethan?"

"Yeah, he scares me."

"I know, Whit, he scares me, he's continuing Alistair's legacy, he's becoming heartless."

"Yeah, and well Theresa's in some trouble, I'm afraid."

"Why?"

Whitney thought for a second, she couldn't tell him, he was the love of her life, he couldn't know she was Ethan's whore, he would hate her, he'd think of her as lower than the dirt, and if he knew she was on crack he'd tell Fox for sure and Fox would take her Makita, her baby, that was the only thing she had left of her and Chad's love, they'd never be able to be together and Makita was the only thing she had left out of that love, besides the sex at the recording studio.
