Chapter 4: How does it feel?
"Hold on." Theresa said as she opened the door to see a very tired Fox "You don't look to good." she said letting him in
"Is that a nice way of saying I look like shit?"he asked
"Yes." they had a small laugh
"Hi baby girl." he said taking a crying Emma from Theresa, and Emma stopped crying
"Unbelievable. I have been trying for the past ten minutes trying to get her to stop crying and all you have to do is hold her."
"She's a daddy girl."
"Whatever."she said giving Fox Emma's bottle
"Jealous?"
"No."
"Sure your not."
"Maybe a little."
"Thought so."
"Do you want some coffee?"
"Please." he said as they went into the kitchen
"So how are things with you and Whitney?"she asked as she gave Fox the coffee and sat down at the table also drinking her milk
"You mean after she found out I have a child with her best friend or after she found out I gave Emma my last name." he said as he kissed Emma
"I'm sorry."
"Why I'm not?"
"Look you have only know about Emma for about a day, and its already trouble for you and Whitney."
"Theresa I love Emma and I want her to have my last. Just like my baby with Whitney is."
'Your baby my ass 'Theresa thought to herself "Fox look I don't want to be any trouble for you and Whitney."
"Theresa you are the mother of my child you could never be trouble."
"That's shows how much you now me." Fox laughed
"Resa here is the ice cream you asked for"
"Thanks." she said as she took the bag from Chad and got her some ice cream
"Hey." he said when he saw Fox
"Hey." Fox said playing with Emma "What with the coffee flavored ice cream?" he asked
"Well Theresa was going crazy not able to have coffee while she was pregnant with Emma."
"So Chad told me they had coffee flavored ice cream."
"I had her try it and she ended up liking it. So now every morning I have to bring her. Her morning ice cream before I go to work."
"Its not like I don't do stuff for you."
"Theresa name me the last time you got up at 3 in the morning to get your pregnant friend coffee ice cream."
"Never." Chad and Theresa laughed. Emma started to cry
"I'm to go lay her down."
"Man you look like hell." Chad said when Theresa had left and he had got his-self some coffee
"Thanks man."
"So how is Whitney taking thing."
"Well lets see we fought until four in the morning went to sleep and fought until I left this morning."
"That's bad huh?
"I mean I know she would take it hard, but I didn't think this hard."
"Give her some time."
"Yeah."
"So how does it feel?"
"To be a dad."
"No to be like Ethan?" Chad asked
---------------------------------
"How are you doing?" Eve asked her daughter when she opened the door and let her in
"My fiancee has a baby with my best friend, and I have a baby by my half-brother."
"Whitney I still don't see why you just don't tell the truth."
"Because I have to think about my baby."
"Whitney you don't even love Fox."
"So I can never let anyone know I'm pregnant my Chad."
The longer you keep it a secret the more its going to hurt you when it blows up in your face."
"Theresa told me the same thing."
"She is right."
"Well its easy for everyone to say what the right thing is when your not the one who has to do it."
"Whitney I know it hard."
"No you don't."
"Yes I do."
"Are you pregnant by your half-brother."
"Whitney I still understand-
"ARE YOU?"
"No."
"Ok so you don't understand."
"Whitney are you ok."
"Fox has a bond with his baby with Theresa that he would never have with mine, and that's because Emma is his and the baby I'm having isn't."
"Fox will love the baby no matter what. Just tell him."
"No, because I have to think about my baby and only my baby."

Gwen and Ethan where sitting in the Crane House in the living room talking.
"Well the war is over right Gwen?" Ethan said to his wife as they sat in the living room with Rebecca
"This war is just getting started."Rebecca said
"Why I'm not the father of the baby which means this little war needs to stop."
"Ethan that baby should of been ours."
"And it will."Rebecca said
"How? Theresa and Fox are the baby's parents."Gwen asked really wanting to know
"I'm going to get Julian to say that Theresa and Fox are unfit parents, and that has the baby grandfather he wants fill custody. After they give the baby to Julian which the courts will. Then I'll let you and Ethan adopt little Ashley."
"Mother I love that idea."
"I'm not doing that to my brother or Theresa."Ethan said trying to stand up for his self
"Does every choice you make has something to do with how you all hurt Theresa?"Gwen asked
"Look your not just going to hurt Theresa your going to hurt Fox which is my brother." Ethan said
"Fox is about to have a baby with Whitney. With the baby out of his way he can spend more time with Whitney."
"I will not do it to my bother."
"What about me Ethan I'm your wife. Theresa took Sara from me and then she killed OUR baby to say her owns."
"I just can't."
"Do you love me?" Gwen asked
"You know I do."
"Then lets do my mother's plan."
"There are other kids we can adopt."
"But I already feel a bond with this one."
"Its not our daughter."
"Ethan if you love Gwen then do this for her."Rebbeca said
Ethan was quite"What about Julian?"
"Don't worry about him."
"So?" Gwen said with hope
"I'll do it."Ethan said feeling bad for this brother but mostly Theresa
