Chapter 4
Two's a Charm
Theresa fixed one of the guest rooms for Dylan and was about to get ready for bed herself when Fox came up beside her and wrapped his arms around her waist, placing his head onto hers. Theresa closed her eyes and rested back in to his chest.
"You tired?" He asked. Theresa just nodded. "Well before you close those beautiful eyes of yours I have something for you." He said moving off to the closet. "I wanted to surprise it with you later but I don't think I can wait anymore." He said pulling out something out of a small bag.
She wondered why she hadn't noticed it before. She giggled a little as he came walking back towards her with a wide smile. He looked so happy, like a child who couldn't wait to open their presents on a Christmas day. He led her over to their bed and sat beside her, handing her the small white box.
"You know Fox you didn't have to do this, you've given me enough." "I love you Theresa and I'd give you the world.. I just really wanted to do this." Theresa slowly opened the box, a little in suspense over what was in the box. "Oh Fox it's beautiful." She said moving forward, pulling him into a hug.
"Here let me help you put it on." He said taking the box from her hands. In it was a simple silver chain that held a dazzling diamond charm in the shape of a star. He moved her hair and placed it around her throat. Theresa closed her eyes as she felt his warm lips press against the back of her neck.
"For my little dreamer." He said lovingly. "I love you." Said Theresa moving around to kiss him on his lips. She sighed, her eyes closed. "I don't know what I'd do if I didn't have you in my life Theresa." Theresa placed her hand on his cheek and smiled. "I'm sure you will never have to."
Theresa was up finishing with making breakfast for Fox and their guest Dylan when Fox walked into the Kitchen inhaling deeply as he was tying the tie around his neck. He walked over to Theresa and placed a kiss on her neck. "You didn't have to do this Theresa, in your condition all I want you to do is put your feet up." Said Fox looking in her eyes.
Theresa smiled before answering. "I couldn't help it, I just can't stand not doing anything and well we do have a guest what do you expect me to do, I have to be the proper hostess." She said. "Well I don't want you to over exert yourself, okay?" Theresa nodded and placed a small kiss on his lips.
"Don't worry Fox, There's nothing to worry about." Said Theresa running her fingers against Fox's jaw line that sent chills down his spine. "I wish I didn't have to go to work." Fox practically whispered. "But you have to. And you better eat your breakfast now so you don't land up going late."
"Sorry all I have time for is a coffee. To go." Theresa nodded as she walked towards the toaster. "I thought so. That's why I planned ahead." She said. She grabbed two slices of a bagel and grabbed a spatula and put some eggs onto it. Grabbing a paper towel she wrapped it in it and handed it to Fox. "Enjoy." She said with a small laugh.
He laughed and leaned in to give her one last kiss before he left for Crane Industries. Soon after Fox left Dylan walked into the kitchen. "Morning Theresa." "Good Morning Dylan." Said Theresa giving him a quick smile as she fixed him a plate of eggs and bacon with a side of toast. "Mmm.. This looks great." He said sitting down.
"Thanks." Theresa said, setting her own plate down and taking a seat. They made small talk through breakfast and afterward Theresa got up to take the dishes to the sink. Theresa leaned over to take Dylan's plate when she stop and placed her hand on her stomach. Her eyes closed a slight grimace crossing over her lips.
"Theresa? Are you alright?" Asked Dylan standing in concern. Theresa let out a shaky breath. "Yeah.. I think so." She said while straightening. "Are you sure? Cause I could always take you to the hospital." "No I'm fine.. I'll be alright. I have an appointment later anyway."
Dylan just nodded. He just hoped, for Fox's sake that his wife to be and the child she was carrying would be alright.
Theresa sat in one of the treatment rooms in the Harmony hospital, awaiting her Doctor Eve Russell. Theresa kept her hands against her stomach that seemed to be increasing in size by the day. She couldn't help but wonder where Eve was. She had been sitting there for close to an hour.
Theresa looked up immediately when the door to the room opened revealing a woman who looked to be in her mid thirties with red hair and a light spray of freckles on the bridge of her nose. "Hello.. Ms. Lopez-Fitzgerald." She said as she glanced at the clipboard in her hands.
"Hello.. Um where's Eve?" Theresa asked, a bit confused. "Eve? Oh well she's not here today.. Some family issues I think.. I don't really know too much." She said giving her a smile. "Oh." said Theresa. "I'm filling in for her today but don't worry you're in good hands." She said comfortingly.
Theresa nodded slightly and smiled. She was going to have to call Whitney and find out what was going on. Even though Whitney and she had had a little spat the other day, she was still her best friend.
Soon they had gone through the usual check up and then she went on to a sonogram. "Hmm.." Said the doctor as she looked at the screen. "The baby looks pretty healthy... but wait a second what's this?" She said. "What?" Asked Theresa snapping her head toward the screen. "Well.. It looks like there's more then one." "What?" Said Theresa.
"Well it looks like you're having twins Ms. Lopez-Fitzgerald." "Wha.. Twins.." Said Theresa shocked. She couldn't believe it. "It's too early to determine what their sex is but there's definitely two of them."
Theresa smiled to herself. There always seemed to be a surprise around the corner and she couldn't wait to see what Fox's reaction would be.
A/N: I know the necklace seems a bit stupid but it's the thought that counts and plus I was out of ideas on something better :) Sorry for the wait I had written half of this chapter, then I had no time and then I had a minor case of writer's block.
So I'm still trying to organize the names for the kid / kids, I'm, wondering what I'll do with the middle name idea. Other then that dress 3 is the winner so that will be Theresa's dress. Anyway thanks goes to those who reviewed.
