"Ashley this is my brother Luis, Antonio, Miguel, and this is Luis best friend and my other brother Hank, My father in law Sam Bennett, Fox father Julian and his Grandfather Alister, this is my second Father Jackson Carmichael and this handsome man right here is my husband Ethan Winthrop!"
"It's nice to meet you all!" as she shook everyone's hand she held on to Ethan's hand a little while longer. She gave him a smirk, and mouth "Gotcha!"…..
Ethan let her hand go "It's nice to meet you Ashley!"
Fox caught on the tension between Ashley and Ethan, like they had known each other before. He wanted to say something but then something held him back. He wanted to scope the scene out first before he voice his opinion. His eyes fell on Theresa, she was beautiful her hair cut in layers, that Mahogany brown and blond streaks shimmering in the sun. She wore khaki capris, a white tank under a pink sweater, and white tennis shoes. She look so cute with her belly sticking so far out. That should be his wife his child that she was carrying, if only things were different, but they were not. Ethan had won Theresa only because Fox didn't fight for her, that' s the one that he regretted was that he didn't fight for her.
Ethan who at this point was panic stricken by the fact that Francesca/ Ashley whatever her name was, was Fox's new girlfriend, but why would she come her he didn't know but he was going to find out. He made sure that he looked like the good host and brought her a glass of lemonade.
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
"Well, well, well if it isn't FOX CRANE, or should I say ETHAN WINTHROP!"
"Hey keep your voice down, Francesca/ Ashley whatever your name is!" he whispered to her when he saw his father looking at him suspiciously
"What are you doing here and What do you want?"
"Nothing, I came looking for you, Fox Crane but instead I ran into the real Fox Crane, I was shocked, appalled, but it wasn't the first time that a married man has given me a fake name, when I got to Fox's house I saw pictures of you and your wife, I asked him who you were and he told me!"
"So, that still doesn't explain why you are here!"
"I came looking for you, to tell you that I was pregnant and the I lost our child!"
"What impossible we use protection every time!"
"Yea well remember the one time that it broke!"
"Look if you came here to ruin my life, then I suggest you cease and dieses right now!"
"Well I didn't but since you are being an imbecile I think I am going to have to tell your pretty little wife of yours, about us!"
"What there is no US!"
"There was, and Ethan I have evidence!"
"What are you talking about?"
"I am talking about a video tape of me and you!"
"What I need that I want that back!"
"No!"
Ethan quickly changed the subject when he saw Theresa and Fox towards them.
"Hey what are you doing with my Girlfriend Bro, not trying to steal her away now are you?"
"No, I have my own beautiful diamond!" as he gently grabbed Theresa into a hug he looked down on her "I love you baby!"
Theresa looked up "I love you too!"
Ethan noticed that Francesca was fuming. "I will get you!" she mouthed
"So you too looked like you were in a heated conversation, what were you talking about?" question Fox
"Oh nothing, you see I made the lemonade and she insulted it, I felt offended!" Ethan lied
"Is that true sweetheart?" asked Fox as he looked at Francesca/ Ashley
"Yea, I didn't realize that he made it, I shouldn't have insulted it!"
"About time someone had the guts to tell him the truth!" laughed Theresa "That thing is horrid why do you think there is still so much left of it!"
"Hey but I thought you liked it!" laughed Ethan
"Yea I only told you that because I didn't want to hurt your feelings!" laughed Theresa "Baby I am sorry!"
"It's o.k. I just won't make it anymore!"
"Aww not even for me!"
"No!" as he leaned over and kissed her
Francesca liked Theresa she was funny, now she knew why Ethan loved her so much and why Fox admired her so, she was a great person.
"Hey Ashley, Your o.k. Honest I like that, I think we are going to be great friends!"
"Oh great!" thought Fox and Ethan
Theresa opened all her gifts from everyone, the sun started to go down, everyone started to leave Fox and Ashley stayed behind to help clean up and so did Luis and Sheridan.
"So Theresa, do you know what your having?" asked Sheridan
"Yea but don't tell Ethan he will kill me!"
"So spill it girl!"
"I am having a girl!"
"Oh that is great, congratulations!" smiled Sheridan "So picked out any names yet?"
"Yea I am going to name her Madison Lindsey-Ann Winthrop!"
"I think Lindsey would be proud of you Theresa!" she heard a voice say, she turned around to face Jackson
"I know!"
"Theresa, I am going home now I wanted to say goodnight!"
"Grandpa!" they heard little Ethan yell "Can I stay with you?"
"Ask your mother!"
"Mommy, Can I stay the night with Grandpa Jackson PLEASE!"
Little Ethan looked so cute pleading the way that he did she couldn't resist it "Sure, but you be a good boy now!"
"I will mommy thanks!"
"Don't forget your PJ's!" she screamed
"Dad, can you?"
"Sure anything for you, I'll bring him by in the morning!"
"O.k.!" as she leaned in and kissed him on the cheek
"Why does you Father have a different last name than you do?" asked Ashley/ Francesca
"Long Story!"
"We have plenty of time!" as she pointed to the backyard
"Well it all started about 7 years ago, Ethan Crane was his last name before the secret came out that he was actually a Bennett he was engaged to be married to Gwen Hotchkiss miss High Society well we fell in love and he propose to me on the night of our engagement party a tabloid reveal that he was not a Crane and that he was a Bennett, well I knew that secret but I didn't tell anyone on the day of our wedding his mother crash her car into the church and stopped the wedding because someone revealed to the tabloid that I was the one that sent the paternity to them, being the stupid girl that I was I wanted to give Ethan his old life back so I flew to Bermuda to convince Julian Crane to reinstate Ethan we both got drunk I ended up sleeping with Julian married and bore what I thought was the Crane heir, Julian mistress reveal one night that Ethan Jr. was not Julian son but Ethan and I but by that time Gwen and Ethan had gotten back together and she was pregnant with his child, that night when Ethan Martin's paternity was reveal she fell down the stairs and lost the baby Ethan and I decided that our love was more strong then any lies so we got back together, the next day Fox threw a gala and reveal all the secrets that I was not the one that sent the tabloid the paternity but it was Gwen and Rebecca, and that Gwen set me and Julian up in Bermuda we never really slept with each other and we were never really married. Well that night Gwen brought a gun to kill Ethan but I stepped in front of the bullet I died!"
"Wait you died then what are you still doing her, Please don't tell me you are a Ghost?"
"No wait there is more!" laughed Theresa
"O.k.!"
"I died went to heaven and all that, there was a girl named Lindsey Korman who looked exactly like me, she had a doppelganger of some sort in her, she said a prayer for help, I came got stuck in some kind of parallel universe, well to make a long story short we defeated the doppelganger and Lindsey got her body, only Lindsey didn't want to go back, you see when her doppelganger took over her body she would kill people and her doppelganger killed her one true love and Lindsey wanted to be reunited with him, so she gave me her body, she gave me a second chance at life, she is my savior!"
"WOW, that is hard to digest!"
"Yea I know but it is all true!"
"Yea it is!" they both turned around to face Ethan and Fox
"Theresa has been through a lot!" smiled Ethan "That's why we want nothing more than to protect her!" as he looked towards Fox "Isn't that right Fox!"
"Yea Bro!" Fox looked towards Ashley something just didn't sit right with him he had a feeling that Ashley and Ethan knew each no they know each other, something was up with those two and he was going to get to the bottom of it
"Hey Scarlet!" as he leaned in and gave Theresa a peck on the cheek "We better get going, I'll see you in the morning!"
"Promise!"
"I Promise!"
Francesca notice the way Fox looked at her there was no way in hell she was going to lose another man to her, what was so special about her, why did she have to have it all. Francesca vow that she was not going to allow Theresa to win even if was over Theresa dead body.
