Fox watched on as Theresa sat in the park with Alexa. She looked so happy.
How was it even possible for her to move on so quickly if she loved him the way she said she did?
She confused him.
One minute she would be completely exposed and wanting to be with him, but the next she would put up a wall blocking all of her emotions.
He shook his head in disgust.
Was this what he had come to? So lost that he satisfied himself by watching her every move?
Was he a stalker? Or was he just unlovable?
"I fell in love with you Fox…" her voice rang in his head. Why didn't he just listen to her? Why didn't he just realize it was her he wanted to be with and saved himself a lot of misery?
He felt warmth against his hand and he looked down to see her.
"Hi." Theresa said, clearing her throat nervously.
"Hi." He replied in a surprised tone.
"I uh… said some really hurtful things to you yesterday…"
"No!" Fox objected. "It's ok, really."
Theresa slowly smiled. "This is weird." She said turning around.
"Why? Wait… don't go." He called behind her.
She turned to look at him and said "One minute we're biting each others heads off and the next we're perfectly fine."
Fox smiled as he stared deep into her eyes. He could tell she was feeling what he was feeling by the way her eyes were darting away.
"So how are you and Dylan?" he finally asked.
"We're good." Theresa responded awkwardly. "Everything's good."
"That's great." Fox said, as he looked down at the ground, jealous that her marriage wasn't falling apart.
"I mean…it's not that great." She continued.
"Really? Why is that?" Fox pressed on.
There was a long pause that filled the air as Theresa put her words together. "He's not you." She finally said as if she dared.
Before Fox could respond, Theresa's cell phone cut him off.
A few seconds later she hung up and glanced at him. "I have to go over to the hospital."
"Is everything alright?" Fox asked.
"I- I don't know. Dylan just told me to get over there as soon as I can." She said placing her hand on her forehead.
Fox followed her as she picked up Alexa.
"I'm coming with you."
"Dylan, is everything ok?" Theresa asked concerned as she met him in the hospital.
"Yeah, everything's fine." He said slowly as he looked over at Fox. "What are you doing here?"
Fox quickly looked at Theresa, "I uh, I saw Theresa at the park and I wanted to make sure everyone was okay."
Dylan nodded and let out a huge sigh. "Theresa, Gwen wants to have a DNA test on Alexa."
"Why?" Theresa nearly shouted.
"She believes Alexa is her biological child."
"No, I know Alexa is my daughter!" Gwen interrupted followed by Ethan. "It's time we put this stupid plan of yours to an end Theresa, and we're having her tested right here, right now."
Theresa smiled confidently as she faced her greatest enemy. "Fine by me. Do the test."
A few minutes later, both women sat nervously in the hospital room awaiting the results.
"I can't believe you actually have the guts to think you'll win against me in a custody suit." Gwen spat at Theresa angrily.
"I can't believe you actually have the guts to think you can raise a child!" Theresa shot back.
"Okay, the both of you… enough." Ethan said agitatedly.
"Back off, Ethan!" both women said in unison.
"Besides, I have a few things I have to say to this little slut!" Gwen glared at Theresa.
"Go ahead Gwen, I'm all ears." She replied sarcastically.
"Little Ethan is legally my son and there is no way in hell I'm going to let you have him! If any little child is under your care, I'd be scared to see what kind of corrupt lifestyle you'd teach them!"
Theresa rolled her eyes. "Oh dear Gwen, at least I can have children that are biologically mine."
"Theresa, that was low." Ethan objected.
"It's true!" she threw her hands in the air. "Gwen here is trying to make up for it by stealing my children."
"No, I'm making you pay for killing my little girl!" Gwen screamed.
"Well maybe if you would have kept your pregnant behind in the hospital bed like you were instructed to, and weren't so paranoid that your husband was cheating on you, your little Sarah would still be alive." Theresa hissed vehemently.
"You little whore!" Gwen screamed as she lunged at Theresa.
"That's enough!" Dr. Russell shouted above the madness.
Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to face her.
"The results are in." she said solemnly.
"Bye bye Theresa." Gwen whispered in her ear.
"Gwen, you're not the mother." Eve continued.
"Told you!" Theresa said triumphantly.
"And, Ethan… you're not the father."
"What?" Theresa shouted confused. "If Ethan's not the father then… oh my gosh… Fox."
