Chapter 16:

It is now 3 months since Whitney was in hospital. She is now out of hospital and has a giant belly bump. She has forgiven Fox, but not Theresa and is trying to split Theresa and Fox up. So she has turned into an even bigger bitch.

Crane Mansion...

Whitney is still living at the Crane Mansion because she could go into labour any day. Rebecca, Julian, Pilar, Theresa, Fox and Gwen arn't happy about these arrangements. Ivy still holds a grudge against Whitney.

Theresa and Fox were alone in their bedroom on the bed about to make love. "I love you Resa." Fox said.

"Oh Fox, I love you too." she said kissing him. It was nice and peaceful... until the phone rang. "Oh God, why now?"

Fox answered. "Hello?" he said.

"Hey Fox, it's Whitney!"

"Oh hey Whitney." Fox said. Theresa rolled her eyes and sighed. Whitney just wouldn't leave them alone.

"Say, do you want to go baby shopping? I'm at the mall now. I was thinking we buy some baby clothes and toys. You know, just cause I'm really excited about 'our' baby." she said.

"Shopping? Umm... okay. I'll be there soon." he said before hanging up.

"Fox! Your going out with Whitney?" Theresa said.

"Yeah... sorry."

"We have barely spent anytime together the last few weeks because Whitney keeps inviting you to do stuff with her."

"Look I'm sorry, but I promise you tonight I'm all yours." Fox said to Theresa smiling. "I've booked a table for two at the Sea Scape tonight at 7 okay?"

"Okay, but don't be late!" Theresa said.

"I won't. See you tonight." Fox said leaving the room. Theresa got an awful feeling in her stomach. He won't be there she thought.

7pm that night:

Theresa sat at a lonely table for 2 in the corner of the Seascape restaurant. Fox hadn't arrived yet. Everytime the door opened she looked at it to see if it was Fox. "Where are you Fox?" she whispered to herself. 10 minutes went by and Fox still hasn't arrived. Theresa sighed and went through the menu. She glanced around the room and saw happy couples having a drink and eating their meals.

7:30pm...

"I don't believe this." Theresa said grabbing her cellphone out her purse. She dialed Fox's number... but she got the voicemail.

"Hi this is Fox, leave a message after the beep."

"Fox it's Theresa. Where the hell are you! I've been waiting 30 minutes and you still haven't turned up! Don't you dare stand me up or I'll never talk to you again!" she said in an angry tone before hanging up. "Bloody Fox." she whispered to herself.

Another 15 minutes went by. Theresa once again dialed Fox's number and got up and started walking out the door while holding the phone to her ear. "Fox you stood me up! Your probably to busy with your other girlfriend Whitney to even notice that you never turned up to the romantic dinner you planned for us! Well that's it! I'm sick of her and by God I am sick of you mister! I'm not coming home tonight, because as of now you and I are no longer a couple! Goodnight Fox!" Theresa yelled.

She went back to her mama's house and entered.Her mother was sitting on the couch watching TV. "Theresa? What are you doing here? I thought you had a date with Fox tonight."

"So did I. He never turned up. I dumped him."

"What? Oh Theresa thats horrible? But just because he never turned up for a date?" Pilar asked.

"No mama theres a lot more to it than that. We haven't spent time together in months because Whitney keeps on dragging him over to her. He thinks more of her than me."

"Well she is pregnant."

"Thats the same excuse! Like today she interrupted us when we were having a special moment with a phone call, 'Lets go shopping for the baby'." Theresa said in a childs voice. "She is tearing us apart."

"Oh Theresa, when did you tell Fox you were breaking up with him?"

"I phoned him on his voicemail. It was humiliating mama, there was all those couples, and then me in the corner all by myself. I can't believe he forgot our special dinner together. I can never forgive him for this. He would rather go of playing dad to a baby that's not even his!" Theresa stood there shocked, she had just accidentally revealed Whitney's secret to Pilar who was frowning with confusion.

"Mija what are you talking about?" she asked curiously.

Theresa sighed nervously. "Nothing, it's nothing I was just joking. You fell for that one mama!" Theresa said laughing.

"Teresita I know your lying to me!" Pilar yelled at her daughter. "Now tell me what you really meant by what you just said."

"Said what?"

"About Fox playing dad to a baby thats not his. Open up to me Theresa." Pilar said sitting her daughter down.

"Oh... um. I can't say mama. I swore to Whitney I would never tell anyone."

"Well you just did. So please, you know I won't tell a soul."

"Okay, months and months back Whitney confessed to me that Fox wasn't the father of her baby. It's Chad, her half-brother." Theresa said.

Pilar's jaw dropped. "Incest?" she kept on whispering to herself. "Theresa, Whitney shouldn't be keeping a secret like that from Fox, or Chad for that matter. So, you have kept this from Fox all this time?"

"Yes. It's been hard but I promised Whitney I wouldn't say anything to anyone."

"Theresa I know it's not in my place to intefere, but if you want to keep Fox then you should tell him. Before Whitney gets her claws into him."

"Mama, I don't care. I've broken up with Fox now."

"Fine, it's your decision. But I know you'll regret it. I've never seen you that happy when you were with Fox in a long time. Goodnight, I'm going to bed." Pilar said walking away into the hall.

"Night mama." Theresa settled down onto the couch and started going through the family photo album. She was suddenly interrupted by a bang coming from the door. She got up and answered the door. It was Fox. Theresa wasn't shocked. "Fox." she said frowning.

"Theresa I am so sorry I never turned up to dinner, I got caught up at looking for prams for the baby with Whitney."

"Whitney, Whitney, Whitney! That's all who it is ever about! You know Fox it wouldn't kill you to keep away from her for at least one day." Theresa snapped back.

"Theresa... I love you."

"Oh don't start that with me! Do you even realise how much you've hurt me by spending too much time with Whitney! It kills me to see you with another woman, Fox."

"I know and I realise that but please understand I have a responsibility as a father to this baby and if you don't like it then-"

"Then what? No Fox it's over and I mean it!" Theresa yelled.

"No Theresa please! I love you too much!-" but Theresa had slammed the door. "Theresa I know you still love me!" Fox yelled from the outside. Theresa leaned against the door and started crying.

"Go away Fox!" she yelled.

"No! I'm never leaving you! I love you Resa!" Fox was starting to get tears in his eyes too. Inside Theresa walked away from the door and went to bed. She had just experienced even more heartbreak than she had with Ethan. It was over between her and Fox.
