Chapter 15:

The next morning Theresa woke up in Fox's arms. He was still asleep. She quietly and slowly crept out of bed and put her clothes on. Fox had woken up by this point. "Theresa? What are you doing?" he said.

"Getting dressed Fox." Theresa said putting her blouse on. Fox got up and walked over to her. He put his arms around her stomach and slowly kissed her neck.

"Thanks for last night." he whispered.

A smile forms on Theresa's face. "Anytime." she smiled back at him.

"Teresita?" a voice from the door says. Theresa looked at the door. There was her mother, Pilar in her maid's uniform standing at the door looking angry.

"Mama, whats wrong?" Theresa said.

"I want a word with you. Fox can you give me and my daughter a minute alone?" Pilar said turning to Fox.

"Sure thing. I'll just go and get dressed." Fox said before vanishing into the bathroom.

"Theresa what are you doing?"

"What do you mean mama?"

"With Fox. I saw you two kissing just then. Theresa, Fox is engaged to Whitney."

"Not anymore they are. They've broken up." Theresa said crossing her arms.

"Oh mija. What has happened to you?"

"Nothing mama, I'm fine. In fact I am very happy right now." she said with a smile.

"Theresa don't you understand? It's just too complicated to be in a relationship with Fox right now. He's going through a break up with Whitney, and he's expecting a baby." Pilar said.

"I don't know about that Pilar." another voice said coming from the door. It was Ivy.

"Ivy. What are you doing here?" Pilar said.

"I've come to see my son. Because you see, I have organised a DNA test for tomorrow for Whitney's baby." she said.

"You did what?" Fox said coming out the bathroom. "A DNA test? What for mother!"

"I don't believe that baby is yours Fox." Ivy said.

"Well I do, Whitney told me."

"Of course she's gonna say that! She's probably pregnant with Chad's baby and didn't want the baby to grow up being a freak so she said your the father."

"Of course I'm the father!" Fox yelled.

"I don't care your going to that DNA test tomorrow to confirm it."

"No I'm not going! I trust Whitney."

Theresa went silent. She so desperately wanted Fox to find out that the baby wasn't his. She could just tell him, but she didn't want Whitney being mad at her anymore. Ivy stared at Theresa.

"Well what about Theresa, Fox?" Ivy said pointing at Theresa.

"What about Theresa?"

"What if the baby isn't yours? That means she has to put up with possibly being a step-mum to a child that's not hers! Fox can you just agree to the test, please?"

"No! Theresa come on lets go." Fox said grabbing her hand and walking out the door. Her took her outside to the Crane gazebo. They sat down at the table. But it was just silence. "I can't believe my mother wanted me to take a DNA test!" Fox said. Theresa sighed.

"Fox what if you arn't the father but." Theresa said nervously.

"Oh not you as well Resa!" he yelled.

"Don't yell at me Fox. I'm just saying that I agree with Ivy for once."

"Oh for God sake Theresa! I am not taking that DNA test! If you don't like it then too bad!"

Theresa glared at Fox. "This is a side to you I've never seen before." she said looking down.

"What do you mean?"

"Mean side. I thought Fox was all nice and happy."

"Hey, hey don't worry. I'm just frustrated with mother. I love you. I promise I'll never lash out at you like that again." he said kissing her.
