"Where have you been?" Whitney asked Fox as he was coming through the door.
"There was an accident on the road. I was just about to read some file from my business associate when the traffic cleared. I figured I come by here and have dinner and then get out to the car to read the contents inside of the folder." Fox said.
"Who is your business associate?" Whitney asked.
"Her name is Maggie Sampson. She said it needed to be read immediately." Fox said.
"Maybe you should go read it right now instead of waiting. Dinner will not be ready for another twenty minutes." Whitney said.
"Well if that's the case then I'll be right back." Fox said.

He rushed outside to his car. He had to know what was wrong with Kay and why it affected him as well. Whatever it was he was sure that it would definitely destroy Whitney. He couldn't let that happen.
Tabitha watched in her bowl as Fox Crane opened his car door but he found that the folder was missing. He looked around but it wasn't there. Someone must have taken it out of his car. Whoever it was didn't want him to know what was inside that folder.
Fox looked around. That was strange. He knew that he left the folder on the car seat. What if he hadn't? What if he had brought it in without realizing it? What if Whitney was opening that same folder and what if that same folder contained evidence that would destroy him and Whitney for good? Rushing back in the house, he stopped. Eve Russell was standing in the kitchen with the folder in her hand. She looked at its contents. It was written all over her face, the contents of that folder were indeed devastating. She looked up at him and then down at the folder.
"Did you see what is in this folder?" She asked him.
"No, I didn't but I can tell it's something that you don't want me to see. What's inside that folder?" Fox asked her.
"What's inside the folder?" Whitney asked.
She had heard the commotion from the other room. Her mother was frozen in her place. Whitney could tell that whatever it was it was big. Eve gathered her composure and went to the office where she shredded the papers.
"Don't worry about any of this. It really isn't any of your concern." Eve said.
Whitney went back inside pleased with her mother's answer. Fox walked into the office and closed the door behind her.
"Why did you just shred documents that didn't belong to you? What are you trying to hide?" Fox asked her.
"I'm hiding nothing. I'm just looking out for you and Whitney. I wouldn't want anything to come along that may hinder your relationship in the long run." Eve said.
"Well, if it's that bad then there's no way you or I could keep it a secret. I think it's time that I tell Whitney the truth. She needs to know what happened when we broke-up." He said.
"No she doesn't need to know. Do you know what this will do to her? She'll end her relationship with you. Then you'll go back to Kay and she'll be left alone. Do you want that? Do you want Whitney to be left alone?" Eve asked him angrily.
"You know if you don't calm down, she'll hear you and then it'll be your doing why she is left alone. You know Whitney wouldn't be lonely right now if you had just told the truth years ago." Fox said.
"I know that I made mistakes but Whitney has done nothing wrong. She doesn't deserve anything bad to happen to her before the wedding." Eve said.
"The wedding is months away. It's better for her to find out now. Do you want her walking down isle not knowing the truth? What happens if she finds out the truth after we're married and it destroys her? I can't do that. I wont' do that. I can't be like Ethan and pretend like nothing happened. I can't lay all the blame on Kay like Ethan. I need for Whitney to know the truth. Only then can we both make a rational decision about our future together." Fox explained.
"I won't let you do that." Eve said.
Whitney was outside the door listening to the whole conversation. Her suspicions about Fox and Kay were true. They had seen each other during the summer and it was obvious that whatever her mother had shredded had to do with their summer fling. It finally dawned on Whitney what it was. Kay must be pregnant. She didn't understand how that could have happened but it must be why her mother was so upset over those papers. There was no way that she was going to let Kay have Fox. There was no way she was going to allow Fox to find out the truth, and there certainly was no way that she was going to allow Fox to tell her the truth either. The only thing that either of them could now was to get married as soon as possible. She would have to make sure that Kay was out of the picture in order to do that.
She walked into the office and smiled at Fox and her mother. Fox began to speak but Whitney cut him off to tell him about her new idea. She told him how she wanted to get married now before it got way too cold. She told him how she knew that Fox wanted to wait another four months or so but she saw no reason to do that. Of course, Eve jumped in and told her that it was a marvelous idea. Fox told her that he couldn't marry her right away. There was too much planning to do but Whitney said that she wanted to get married in two weeks and that all the major planning was done. Fox finally caved to her proposal. His phone rang and then he was off to the office to go an emergency meeting.
"Honey, why did you want to get married so early?" Eve asked.
"It's the only to stop Fox from finding out about Kay being pregnant." Whitney replied.
"What are you talking about?" Eve asked shockingly.
"You know what I'm talking about. I heard the whole conversation. I then realized why you were shredding those papers. You better hope that Fox doesn't figure out that Kay is pregnant." Whitney said.
"He's not going to find out. I think that Kay will end up aborting the child anyways. I know that she doesn't want to be a single mother with two children." Eve said.
"In two weeks, Fox and I are going to get married. I need to make sure to keep Kay as far away from us. I'm going to get started on the invites; I'm going to make this a private wedding. Kay won't be invited." Whitney said.
"What about your other problem?" Eve asked.
"I'm marrying in two weeks. I'll be able to disguise my pregnancy until then." Whitney said.
Kay was standing outside listening to the whole conversation. She wanted to talk to Fox about the folder. She stepped inside the door. Whitney and Eve looked up in shock.
"What the hell are you doing here?" Whitney asked her.
"Wait until Fox finds about you being pregnant with Chad's baby. He's going to hate you. In fact, he's going to make you wish that you weren't born." Kay said.
"I don't know how he's going to find out the truth if you're dead." Whitney said.
Whitney moved forward while Kay backed up. She then lunged at Kay knocking her to the ground. With one swing of her fist, Kay was knocked out.
"What are we going to do now?" Eve asked.
"We're going to dispose of her and then we're going to sit down and make my wedding invitations." Whitney said.
