A.N. I'm sorry that this took a while to get out, but at least for a little while the parts are going to be a little short, and it will more than likely take a little while to post the parts. Because my grandfather is in the hospital right now and he's one of my first priorities.

Part 1

~5 Years Later~

November 2008

"All right buddy, are you ready to come with me to get your mom?" Nicholas Foxworth Crane picks up his and Theresa's child Fox Jr. and smiles at him and Little Ethan. He was so thrilled, just 4 months ago Little Ethan had become his, since he adopted him when him and Resa got married. Even though Little E wasn't his biological son, Fox had promised that he would always love Little Ethan the same way he loved his biological son. And he had kept that promise-it was easy promise to keep, Little E was easy to love.

For years he thought that he was in love with Whitney Russell, but after he went to see Theresa a year after she and Little Ethan split and saw her on the bar dancing. That was when he fell in love with her and Whitney moved out of his spotlight and Theresa was moved in her place.

Now they were married have 2 children Little Ethan almost 7 years and Fox Jr. who is 2 years old. Both are his and Theresa's most valuable treasures.

Resa works at a bar called Coyote Ugly, one of the reasons she started there was because they made good money. Later when she really started working there and getting good at her job she began to love the job.

When Resa ran with Little Ethan nobody knew where she had run off too. This was exactly something that she would do if she felt her son was threatened. After everyone found out that social services had tried to take Little Ethan away it was no question in anyone's mind why she split.

At the funeral for Sarah, Rebecca got a phone call from social services telling her that Theresa had run off with the child. Rebecca screamed at the woman's incompetence and that was when everything came pouring out. About Rebecca forcing Julian to call social services, Julian's affair with Eve Russell, everything.

If Resa and Little E weren't gone he might have thought that the situation was funny but as it turns out it wasn't very funny at all. Rebecca and Gwen blame Theresa for Sarah's death and figured that if Gwen lost her baby then Theresa was going to lose hers as well.

Pilar later that day after searching her room had found the note that Theresa had left her telling her why she took the money and when she got a job she would pay her back. That's when Pilar went to Whitney telling her Theresa had written.

Then Whitney told him and he set out to find them-to try and help them, he wasn't going to turn over Little Ethan or Theresa if he found them. He knew that Little Ethan belonged with his mother and Theresa is a damn good mother.

It took him almost a year to find Theresa, and the only reason he was able to find her was because there was a picture of her in the paper. He was lucky no one from Harmony saw it, since it was a New York paper.

So he got onto the Crane jet and flew to New York, he found the bar easy enough but it was a bitch trying to get past the Bouncer. When he showed the guy his ID the bouncer pulled him aside and said to sit tight. The big guy called-he guess she was the manager-out and showed him the ID and asked if it was clear to let him in.

The woman said to hold on and left and 5 minutes later came back out and said that it was all right, and that he was the one Crane that could be allowed in. So the woman, he found out later was named Lil, lead him to a back room area. It was small but it looked like a break area.

He never saw the bar; he was concentrating too much of his brainpower on getting to Theresa. When he entered the room there was no Theresa, but Lil had told him just to sit tight for a little bit while she went to get Theresa who was busy at the moment and would be done momentarily.

So taking a seat he waits, after ten minutes he contemplates leaving but decides against it. He came this far already and he finally found Theresa, he wasn't going to leave until he talked to her.

A few minutes later the door to the break opens and in walks a tone, sweaty, dark haired woman scrubbing at her hair. Lifting her head up and spraying water in little droplets around the room Fox sees that it's Theresa.

"Resa?" Fox stood up and without giving Theresa time to say a word he took her in his arms and hugged her close. He felt her breasts press against his chest, the wetness of her water slicked bare back, her leather-incased thighs rubbing against his Levi covered jeans.

"Fox-I miss you too but your kind of cutting off my air-supply." Pushing her back lightly he apologizes and offered the excuse that he just missed her so much he had to make sure that she was real.

Fox tells her everything that she needs to know about what's happening in Harmony. Then he asked her about her and Little Ethan, to which he was told that everything is very good for them.

That's when Lil had re-entered the room and told Theresa that she was needed back out on the bar. Resa' had invited him to sit at the bar and have a drink on the house..who was he to say no? Following the two ladies out he finally sees what's happening in the bar.

Theresa climbs over the bar and into the back twirling the liquor bottles like a pro and pouring the drinks like she's done it her whole life. She winks at a customer and he finds himself feeling a little jealous. He feels like Theresa is his and shouldn't be winking at other men-especially the men who are openly leering at her.

Finally getting to Fox Theresa asks him what he would like to drink. "Just a shot of Tequila."

"You got it." Theresa flips the shot glass, then reaching at the bottom of the bar flips up and then twirls the Tequila bottle. Lastly turning it and pouring it into the glass and slides it to him.

"Enjoy." She smiles widely at him and sends him an air kiss.

The song changed on the jukebox and Theresa yells and pumps her fist enthusiastically. She climbs up onto the bar with 2 of the other girls and begins to move sensually and seductively like she's trying to entice some of the men here tonight.

There's a pole at the end of the bar that Theresa is curling her leg around and twirling on it. She gets off the pole and walks to the middle of the bar and crooks her finger inviting one of the drunks on the bar with her. The drunk claps at the crowd and gets on the bar with Resa'.

Fox shakes his head and tries to remove the feelings that are bubbling up inside him-like rage, jealously, and the desire to kill the man trying to touch Resa. It takes all his willpower to keep from jumping on the bar and beating the shit out of the guy.

A tugging on his coat breaks him out of his memories of seeing his Resa after a year. Glancing down he sees Little Ethan smiling up at him. "What's up little buddy?"

"Aren't we going to see mommy?"

"Of course we are little buddy." He had been so into his memories that he didn't notice almost 3 minutes had passed of standing next to the door and not leaving.

Taking Little Ethan's hand and lifting Fox Jr. higher on his hip he opens the door and standing there are people he never expected to see again.

"Well, well. This is definitely a surprise."
