Chapter 11 (Telling Fox)
Theresa lifted up her dress a bit as she stood in front ofa full length mirror. Charity stood behind her gazing at the details of the dress. She felt proud that she had accomplished in making such a gorgeous dress. Theresa ran her hands down the soft material.
"It fits perfectly Charity." Said Theresa in awe.
Charity nodded. "It looks great on you Theresa but I think the only thing I should probably fix is the hem." Theresa looked down at her feet. The dress was obviously a few inches too long. "It shouldn't be too long, you know. It could cause you to trip and I don't think it's going to be all that easy for you to hold your dress up and walk with the bouquet at the same time."
"Of course." Said Theresa smiling. Charity then began to measure and pin the dress to make the alterations. After about 15 minutes Theresa had changed back into her clothes.
"I can't thank you enough Charity for doing this for me."
"And I can't tell you enough that it's not a problem it gives me lots of practice for my designing career."
Theresa smiled before pulling Charity into a hug.
Charity smiled as she pulled away. "Okay this should probably take me two or three days, depending on the beading, to finish."
"That sounds great Charity." Theresa replied. Theresa glanced down at her watch. "Oh no!"
"What is it?"
"I have a doctors appointment and if I don't leave now I'm going to be late." Theresa said grabbing her purse. "I'm sorry." She said before she rushed out of the room and back to her car.
A few days had passed and Theresa had found herself pacing her living room floor again. Over the last few days she still hadn't found the opportunity to tell Fox about the fact that she was going to bear him twins. Theresa chewed on her nails as she thought. How was she going to tell him? Would he be angry that she had kept it from him? Sighing she sat and closed her eyes.
Fox chose that moment to walk in. "Hello beautiful." He said striding over to her. "What's wrong?" He asked seeing the tired expression on her face.
"Fox.. I-" Said Theresa her voice shaking a little.
"What's wrong Theresa?"
"I need to tell you.. It's about the baby."
"Oh my God… Is the baby alright." He said concern and fear written on his face.
"No, no the baby's fine."
Fox sighed in relief. "Oh thank God I don't know what I'd do if I lost you or the baby."
Theresa looked down at her hands. Why was it so hard?
"What is it that you want to tell me Theresa?"
"Fox… I'm having Twins." She finally blurted out. Fox stared at her in silence.
Theresa held her breath anticipating the worst. "We're having Twins?" Fox said a small smile pulling at the edges of his lips. Theresa nodded. Fox couldn't help himself and placed a kiss on Theresa on the lips. When he pulled away Theresa laughed, relieved that he wasn't angry.
"I'm going to be a father of not only one baby but two. When did you find out?"
"Well I actually found out before the bank incident."
"What? Why didn't you tell me."
"Well you've been under some stress lately and I was just looking for the right moment-"
"Theresa no matter what condition I'm in you should feel like you can come to me with anything." He said while placing a hand lovingly against her cheek.
Tears sprang to Theresa's eyes out of relief. "I'm so sorry Fox." Fox shook his head before answering her with a light kiss against her lips. "Just promise me that you wont ever keep anything from me again."
"Promise." Replied Theresa. Fox leaned back on the couch witha content smirk on his face. "The father of twins." Theresa smiled and cuddled into him she was just so happy that he was happy. Everything just seemed soperfect.
