CH 27- It's a Girl!
Theresa nervously bounced her leg up and down, as she impatiently waited in the doctor's waiting room. She glanced at her watch and let out a deep breath in order to calm herself down. Visiting the doctor for her regular checkups always made her uneasy, even though the results had always been positive. Dr. Anderson had always given Theresa good news concerning the twins whenever she came for an ultra sound, but before every visit she couldn't help but worry. Dr. Russell had made it extremely clear as to how fragile her pregnancy was and how easy it was for complications to arise if she underwent any stressful situations. The thought of anything bad happening to the twins frightened her to death which is why she was being extremely careful not work herself up, though at times it was not easy. Ever so often she found herself worrying about Fox and how distant he was acting towards her. It was pretty obvious that things had changed between them, but the reason for that was beyond Theresa's imagination. His feelings for her seemed like they literally changed over night, and whenever she asked him about it he always found a way to change the subject. She tried not to think about it often, but the truth was it worried her more than anything.
"Hey are you ok?" Fox looked over at her, noticing the look of concern on her face. "You look kind of pale."
"No, I'm ok." Theresa smiled, glancing at the seat next to her. "I'm just a little nervous about the ultrasound."
Fox placed a hand on her lap and gave her leg a gentle squeeze.
"Theresa, there's no need to worry. You're taking such good care of yourself that there is no way there is going to be anything wrong with the twins." He smiled lovingly at her. "Before you know it, those little angels will be born and we can finally begin spoiling them rotten."
Theresa smiled at his comforting words and stared into his eyes.
She loved how his eyes filled with so much admiration whenever he spoke about the twins. He loved them so much, and they weren't even in the world yet. Theresa knew that as soon as they were born Fox was going to be the most loving uncle. If only he could be more.
Fox suddenly felt himself feel extremely uncomfortable as he continued to stare into Theresa's eyes. He forced himself to control his emotions as he reluctantly looked away.
"Come on buddy, pull yourself together." He silently whispered to himself. "She doesn't love you. It's Ethan that she loves."
Theresa sadly sighed as she noticed Fox look away.
Why does he do that? She thought to herself. It seems like every time we make some kind of connection he pulls away. It's as though he is refusing to feel any type of love for me, but why? Why have things changed so much between us?
"Excuse me, Theresa and Fox?" The secretary asked, interrupting Theresa's thoughts.
"Uh, yes?" she looked up.
"Dr. Anderson said that she's just finishing up with a patient, but that she will be ready to see you in the next five minutes."
"Ok, thank you." Theresa smiled, placing a hand on her tummy.
Fox watched as the worried expression returned to her eyes.
"Everything is going to be fine." He reassuringly smiled at her.
She looked up at him and grinned.
"Thanks Fox." She looked into his eyes. "It makes me feel a lot better knowing that you are here."
"No problem." He winked.
Suddenly he felt his phone vibrate in his pocket, as he reached inside to answer it.
"Hello?" He said into the receiver.
Theresa watched as a smile crept into the corners of Fox's mouth. He suddenly looked over at her as he held the phone in his hands.
"Um, I'll be right back." He whispered. "I have to take this."
"Can't it wait?" She sadly frowned. "Dr. Anderson is going to call us in pretty soon."
"It won't take long I promise." He slowly stood up. "I'll be back before you know it."
He quickly disappeared around the corner, leaving Theresa alone in the waiting room.
She let out a sigh and patiently waited for him to return.
After a few minutes, Dr. Anderson came into the waiting room and said goodbye to her last patient.
"Theresa?" she turned to her. "You can come in now."
"Um..." Theresa mumbled, nervously looking down the hallway.
"Is something wrong?" Dr. Anderson asked.
"It's Fox." Theresa began. "He just went to take an important phone call, but he hasn't returned yet."
"Well that's ok. The secretary will let him into the office once he gets back."
"Ok," Theresa slowly smiled, reluctantly following the doctor into the office.
Once inside, Dr. Anderson began the normal procedure of Theresa's checkup. After taking her blood pressure and checking all her vitals, she hooked up the ultrasound machine to take a look at the babies.
"Well this is interesting," She smiled, moving the device smoothly against Theresa's tummy."
"What is it Dr. Anderson, is something wrong with the twins?" Theresa nervously asked.
"No not at all. In fact everything is really great!" The doctor smiled. "It's just that I think I can make out the sex of the babies."
"Really?" Theresa happily squealed. "That's great! Well, what are they?"
"Well, unfortunately I can only make out the sex of one of the twins because the other little one has its legs closed. But as for the one that I can see, it looks like you're going to have a little girl!"
"A girl?" Theresa cried. "Oh my gosh, that's amazing! I can't wait to tell Fox!"
"Congratulations," Dr. Anderson smiled. "Aside from not being able to see the sex of the other twin, everything looks good. You're doing everything right Theresa, keep up the good work!"
"Thank you so much doctor. Fox is going to be so happy once he hears that I'm going to have a girl!" She smiled, but slowly frowned when she realized that he hadn't returned from his phone call.
She quickly got dressed and made her way back into the waiting room, to see if Fox was there. However when she looked around, he was no where in sight.
"Excuse me," She turned to the secretary. "Did Fox happen to come back?"
"Uh no, I don't recall seeing him." The young woman responded.
"Alright thanks." Theresa slowly walked out of the office.
Looking down the hallway, she sighed.
"I guess I'll go find him." She said to herself. "He couldn't have gone that far. Besides, I can't wait to tell him the great news!"
(A.N: Hey guys!! We are soooooo sorry about our delay in continuing with the story. But Amanda went on a trip to Mexico and I didn't want to continue the story without her.
