Chapter 2:
Fox could feel the tension in the room. Ethan and Gwen were here to find out who the parents of the twins are. Chad, and Whitney were here to lend their support for whoever would need it. And well, he was there just to be close to Whitney.
Ethan and Gwen were so upset when they had found out what Theresa had done. Actually, Gwen was more than upset; she was ready to kill Theresa.
He was upset about the whole thing too. For some reason he felt sad and betrayed. He couldn't even bring himself to look at her. When they had broken up because she said that she had been unfaithful to him, and recently he discovered that she had been unfaithful to him with Ethan.
Ethan. Sometimes Fox could hate Ethan so much. But then there were other times that he felt like they could actually be friends. They were half brothers after all. However growing up it had been really rough for Fox. He had always been compared to Ethan. His mother thought of Ethan as the perfect child that any mother could ask for. Ethan had been prepped to take over the Crane Empire one day. But considering that he was really a Bennett and not a Crane, there's no way that would ever happen.
Still, Fox couldn't help but feel jealous of his older half brother. He had always gotten whatever it was that he wanted. Growing up he had their mother's attention. And now, he was happily married. Well come to think of it, he wasn't really happily married. If he was, he wouldn't be here right now. But hey, he had two women going after him all the time. One of which was Theresa.
Fox had tried so hard to get Theresa's mind off of Ethan, but it was just no use. Fox loved the time that he and Theresa had spent dating. He even liked the time that they spent being friends. But now, a part of him felt sad whenever he thought of her. He felt betrayed by her. And a part of him even hated her. She cheated on him with his brother for crying out loud! How on earth was he supposed to forgive her for that?
A part of him did love her though, and he knew he always would. After the night they made love, he thought that she loved him too. But how stupid could he have been? He should have known that Theresa would never forget about Ethan!
Wait a minute; why does he even care about any of this? He loves Whitney. She's the woman he loves; not Theresa.
Shaking his head away from his thoughts, Fox gazed around the room and saw that everyone was still tense.
"Hey, does anyone feel up to a coffee?" he asked, wanting to get out of the tension filled room.
"Umm, yeah." said Ethan. "Gwen will have one too."
"Yeah Fox, thanks. Do you want some too babe?" Chad asked Whitney.
"Yep, I'll have one too" she said.
"All right. So that's four coffees. See ya in a few" Fox said before leaving the room.
After getting the coffee, Fox decided to take the long way back to the waiting room. He thought he'd check up on his niece and nephew. He knew that no matter whom their mother was, Ethan was their father. Sometimes Fox couldn't help but wonder what it was that Theresa saw in Ethan.
As he was rounding the corner, he saw Pilar walking to the nursery. He also saw Theresa at the nursery window, looking at the children.
Why does she always have to look so beautiful? Fox thought to himself. Theresa was wearing a form fitting white dress that went off her shoulders and ended just above her knees. Her hair was done down in soft curls. Fox loved it when Theresa wore white because it would contrast with her skin so well. He also loved it when Theresa did her hair in soft curls, they just made her look so beautiful. She looks like an angel, sent down from heaven. Fox continued to watch Theresa in awe as he made his way closer to the nursery.
He stopped a few feet away from her and Pilar and shook his thoughts out of his head. He was still very upset with Theresa. But he could also see the pain that she was going through as she watched the children that she had carried in her womb for nine months. He knew that Theresa had such a strong connection with the children. Anyone that watched her with them could see it.
He could hear Theresa and Pilar talking and he didn't want to disturb them. Instead he found himself standing a small distance away from them, watching the children. He couldn't wait for the day that he became a father. He wanted to be the kind of father that he wished he had growing up. He was taken away from his thoughts when he heard Pilar raise her voice at Theresa.
