Chapter 4: You've Got To Be Kidding Me Part 2
"Umm…… Well, I was just laughing because of a thought that re entered my head. That's all." explained Fox, trying to avoid everyone's gaze. 'If looks could kill, I'd be in the morgue.' he thought. Theresa could always tell when Fox was in deep thought, so she countered, "Yeah. So, right about now you're thinking looks could kill." She waited to see the expression on his face, 'Damn I'm good' she thought. Fox nodded his head yes as Theresa asked him a question he feared. "Fox, I know you better than anyone, what's really on your mind?"
Fox scratched his head, there was no way out of this one. Just that moment, Dr. Russell entered the room. "Theresa, could I speak with you alone?" Theresa nodded her head yes as the others piled out, Little E leaving with Pilar. Fox left behind him, relieved that he didn't have to tell Theresa about her true identity, at least not yet.
"What is it Dr. Russell?" asked Theresa. Dr. Russell asked, "Theresa, did you know you were pregnant?" Theresa's face went pale, "Pregnant!" she shouted in disbelief. Dr. Russell said, "I'll take that as a no. Well, the bullet didn't damage the fetus." Theresa asked, "How far along am I?" Theresa asked. Dr. Russell looked down at the chart and said, "Three months." Theresa said, just above a whisper, "Fox, he's the father of my baby. Could my life be any worse?" Dr. Russell said, "Theresa, I have something else to tell you." Theresa threw her hands in the air and asked, "What else is new?"
Dr. Russell said, "You know about Terra Elizabeth Hotchkiss-Crane, right?" Theresa said, "Yeah, the missing link between the Hotchkiss' and the Cranes. I swear if I here that from Fox one more time." Dr. Russell said, "Well, you're her." Theresa laughed and said, "Its not April yet Dr. Russell, save the joke for then." Theresa stared at Dr. Russell then concluded that she wasn't kidding, but decided to give it another try. "You've GOT to be kidding!" Dr. Russell said, "I'm afraid not."
Theresa became hysterical and started babbling. "My mother lied to me! Wait 'til she gets a piece of me, and my father. I was already mad at him for leaving, now its worse! I wonder if Luis knew. I'm gonna kill him. Fox, he must be cracking up inside, I'll wipe that smile right off his face!" Sure enough, Fox was right outside of the curtains laughing while Pilar and Luis scrutinized over how upset Theresa was.
"I guess now I know how Ethan feels, I wonder if the tabloids found out yet. The press is going to have a field day. Rebecca's gonna flip. Lets not even start on Alistair, that's if he doesn't already know. Now wonder why he was always nice to me. OH MY GOD! I'm having my nephew's son!" That immediately got Fox to shut up, the sad thing is, its true.
"Theresa, SHUT UP!" shouted Dr. Russell. Trying to calm her down. It worked, but the she passed out and loud beeps were coming from her monitor! Dr. Russell shouted, "Code Red!"
A/N: Yummy, cliffhanger! Now remember, I never wrote that Fox and Theresa didn't make love, I just said she never went through that whole surrogate thing! I'm bad, I know. ) Sorry its short, but I made up with the cliffhanger. But if that doesn't satisfy you, the next chapter will be great!
