Chapter 39:
Home Sweet Home
"Hello Paloma, how's that unborn baby of yours?", Fox asked walking in the Lopez-Fitzgerald home.
"You sound, happy, what happened to make you this happy?", Paloma questioned.
"My family.", Fox told her.
"What? I know you aren't talking about Ivy and Julian, nothing your family does or will do makes you happy - this happy.", Paloma told him.
"No, I'm talking about Theresa and Little Ethan, my family.", Fox told her.
"I don't follow, the last time I heard from you and Resa, she was hell-bent on keeping you far-far away from her and Ethan Martin.", Paloma told him.
"Well, how can she keep me away from my son.", Fox asked.
"Son?", Paloma asked.
"Yes, Ethan Martin is my son. Theresa's and my son.", Fox told her.
"Well, looks like that "fate" my sister talks so much about is on you alls side, I mean how often do you meet, have sex and produce a child, then find each other again all the wile you're both falling in love with each other and don't have a clue about your past.", Paloma gushed.
"Something tells me you're either a sucker for romance or your hormones are raging.", Fox told her.
"No, neither is correct, I'm just so happy...", Paloma told him. "for you all.", she finished, in tears.
Fox let out a laugh. "Pregnant woman."
"Hey don't go making fun of me.", Paloma told him.
"I'm not.", Fox told her.
"Okay, so where is Theresa?", Paloma asked.
"She went to the hospital.", Fox told her.
"Is she okay, you didn't hurt her did you, I swear if you did...I'll…", Paloma began.
"Relax, would you, Theresa is just fine, don't go getting that Luis temper on me.", Fox told her.
"Hey, I'm nothing like…", Paloma began.
"Yeah, save it for someone who hasn't felt that killer punch you carry.", Fox told her.
"Oh, you haven't seen nothing yet, Nicholas Foxworth Crane.", Paloma told him, slapping him playfully.
"What's going on in here?", Pilar asked.
"Just killing Mr. Crane here.", Paloma told him.
"You both seem in a good mood.", Pilar told them.
"Scary isn't it?", Fox asked pointing to Paloma.
"Shut up, Nicholas.", Paloma told him, slapping him on the arms.
"Ouch, see she's a killer.", Fox told Pilar.
"See as the both of you are so happy, that can only mean one thing…", Pilar began.
"Yes, mama Theresa's is finally back.", Paloma told her.
"And, that could only mean one thing Theresita found Ethan's father, I hope he won't give her a hard time, by trying to take Ethan Martin from her.", Pilar replied.
"Oh, he won't.", Fox told her.
"What makes you so sure?", Pilar asked.
"Because, it's me. Pilar, you're looking at the father of your grandson and the future husband to your oldest daughter.", Fox told her.
"Oh, My God.", Pilar exclaimed.
"Mama isn't this wonderful, I on behalf every member of the Lopez-Fitzgerald family humbly welcome you to our family.", Paloma told him.
"Thank you, Paloma.", Fox replied. "Does that mean you aren't going to brutally attack me no more?"
"Umm- no. I've put a helluve a lot of effort in keeping you straight, you think I'm going to give up and let you run wild now? ", Paloma asked. "Face it Nicholas you are stuck with me. Which means you do my sister wrong, I'll be the person you answer to, got it?"
"Yes ma'am.", Fox told her.
"So, where is Theresa?", Pilar asked.
"She went to see doctor Russell.", Fox told her.
Paloma let out a giggle.
"What?", Pilar asked.
"Nothing, I just got a weird thought come to me…", Paloma replied.
"Loma?", Fox asked.
"Can I see you a second, soon to be brother in law?", Paloma asked.
"Okay, Pilar would you please excuse me, your daughter is having one of those psychotic moments.", Fox told her, then Paloma proceeded to drag him in the living room.
"I just thought of something what if Theresa wants to have another baby and is going to get information on it or…maybe you're power sperm got her pregnant again.", Paloma asked.
Fox let out a laugh then turned to her. "You won't due Paloma."
"What? What's so funny?", Paloma asked, looking at him confused.
"Nothing.", Fox replied. "Do you think that's possible?"
"Don't know, you got her pregnant the first time didn't you?", Paloma asked.
A/N: peps, sorry I ant going to use the real date/ time, because, really weird, seeing as the girl wouldn't even suspect that she was pregnant because we all know that if she did get pregnant during X-mas, then by now she'd probably already be showing and would have known along time ago. Jess. Ps: this is going to be like 9it's about late feb. or early march.
"Doctor Russell, what's a matter?", Theresa asked.
"Well, I think God that you came, if you hadn't there might have been a great danger.", Eve told her.
"Am, I…", Theresa began.
"No, you're fine, you and the baby.", eve told her. "Congratulations Theresa you're very much pregnant.", Eve told her.
"Oh, My God.", Theresa exclaimed.
"I want to schedule an appoint soon, seeing as your about 3 months along.", Eve told her.

"Yes, he and Paloma are in the living room, I'll go get him.", Pilar told her.
"Fox, Theresa's on the phone she wants to speak to you.", Pilar told him simply.
"Okay.", Fox told her, picking up the phone in the living room.
