Summary: Chapter 35: Theresa spends the morning with Fox in his boat. When Theresa gets home, all she wanted was to sleep. But when she wakes up, she gets a surprise! R&R!
Theresa woke up with her head on Fox's chest, her legs entangled in his. His arms were wrapped around her, making her feel close to him even more. She lifted her head gently from his chest and looked over to where his head was. He was fast asleep. Not for long. Theresa gently blew on his face.
"Wake up, sleep head," she whispered in his ear.
Fox didn't need an alarm clock to wake him up. All he needed was Theresa. He immediately opened his eyes to see her smiling at him.
"Morning, beautiful," he replied, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
Fox pulled her closer to him so he could kiss her. When they pulled away from each other, Fox got up.
"You know, there was one thing I didn't get to show you last night," Fox explained mischievously.
"Yeah? And what's that?" Theresa asked curiously.
"The spa," he replied, smiling cheekily.
He took Theresa's hand, leading her into the bathroom. Fox turned on the tap and the bubbles. Not needing to undress for they were already naked, the two hopped into the hot water.
"Ahhhh…" Theresa groaned, closing her eyes.
"Good hey?" Fox asked.
"Yeah, but I know what would be better," Theresa suggested, kissing Fox passionately.
Fox got the message and the couple had some fun in the hot tub.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When they finally got out of the tub, dried themselves and got dressed, Theresa was famished.
"Do you have any food in here?" Theresa asked, her stomach rumbling.
Fox laughed. "Yeah, in the cupboards in the kitchen," he replied, pointing.
"This might as well be a house. It has everything!" Theresa exclaimed, taking a box of cereal out of the cupboard.
She then searched for some milk, bowls and spoons. Fox helped her, filling two glasses with orange juice.
"So how often to you stay here?" Theresa questioned.
"Well, I only bought this boat a few weeks ago but I've been coming here every week to go fishing or for some time off."
"You have great taste," Theresa complimented, placing the things on the table and sitting down.
"I know," he answered, gazing in Theresa's eyes. He joined her at the table as she poured milk in her cereal.
Theresa ate her bowl of cereal quickly. She was definitely hungry from all the 'vigorous activity' she had done. Fox watched her. He too was hungry and gulped down his breakfast as fast as he could. It didn't take them long at all to finish their meal. They washed the dishes together but not without a water fight.
By the time they had finished, there were patches of water all over their clothes. Theresa laughed. She had had so much fun with Fox that she felt like she and him were the only people on the earth.
"I better get going, mama would expect me home," Theresa said, hugging him and getting her purse.
"I'll drive you home then," Fox replied, looking for his wallet and keys.
"Nah, it's ok. It's not that far. It's a beautiful day outside, I can walk home," Theresa said.
"Fair enough," Fox gave in, wrapping his arms around her.
"I love you."
"I love you too," he replied, kissing her lips lovingly.
"Bye!" Theresa cried and left.
"Bye," Fox whispered to himself, couldn't keep the ear-to-ear smile off his face.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When Theresa got home, all she wanted to do was sleep. She hadn't got much of that from last night. But she also missed her son, Ethan Martin. Theresa unlocked the door to walk inside. Pilar popped her head from the lounge room with Ethan Martin at her heels.
"Oh, Theresita, you're home! Look, Little Ethan, your mama's home!" Pilar exclaimed, smiling.
Ethan Martin smiled sweetly and ran to his mother's welcoming arms. Theresa picked him up and kissed him on the cheek.
"I missed you too!" Theresa told him.
Pilar smiled. "I guess you want to sleep now so I'll leave Ethan Martin with Charity and Miguel to baby-sit. I'm sure they could use the practice. Well, I'm off to the Crane mansion now."
"You know you don't have to work there any more. We could support you," Theresa urged.
"I know but I've been doing it for so long that it's part of my life now."
"Ok, mama. But don't work so hard, ok?"
"I know. Besides, who's the mama here, hey?" Pilar laughed.
Theresa smiled. "I'm just watching out for you."
"And I love you for that. Now I must go. Oh and the family car will be returned here by the mechanic. I will be using Miguel's car but you won't have any transport if you're going out," Pilar reminded.
"Oh it's fine. I think I'll stay at home today," Theresa replied, yawning.
Pilar smiled. "Now sleep, mija. Bye," Pilar kissed Theresa on the cheek.
Theresa nodded and went into her bedroom. She dropped onto her bed, pulled the covers over her and fell fast asleep.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Theresa didn't wake up until mid-afternoon. She glanced at her clock, which read 2:47pm. Theresa stretched her arms out and yawned. Time for lunch! I'm starving!
Theresa got changed into blouse and skirt and decided to go to the kitchen to raid the fridge. She took out a can of coke and a bowl of pasta that they must've had last night. She reheated the pasta in the microwave and opened the can of coke. When the pasta was ready, she got a fork and struggled to take the bowl and can of coke to the lounge room so she could sit and watch tv.
She found Miguel and Charity with Little Ethan on the couch. Theresa smiled and placed the coke on the coffee table.
"Thanks for looking after him for me," Theresa said to them.
"It's a pleasure, he's so fun!" Charity replied, ruffling Ethan Martin's hair.
"Fun!" Ethan Martin cried, clapping his hands.
Theresa giggled as did Miguel and Charity. As Theresa ate her lunch, Charity and Miguel started talking to her about their baby plans; their names and their sexes.
"At the first and second ultrasound, we could only see one of them was girl and didn't know the gender of the other. But yesterday, we went for another ultrasound and a regular check-up and found that the other was a boy! I'm so glad because Miguel and I both wanted a boy and a girl," Charity commented, leaning closer to Miguel, who put his arms around her.
"That's great! I'm so happy for the two of you! How about names, have you decided on names for them yet?" Theresa congratulated.
"Yes, the girl will be named Rebecca and the boy will be named Thomas, Tom for short," Miguel answered, couldn't wait until his children were born.
"They're beautiful names," Theresa replied, as she finished her lunch. Now I wonder why I had to call Ethan, Ethan.
A cry from Charity distracted Theresa from her thoughts.
"ARGH!" Charity screamed.
"What's wrong, Charity? Is it time?" he asked, taking her hand.
"C-contractions! ARGH!" she yelled.
"Oh, Miguel, how many weeks along is she?" Theresa asked frantically.
"39," he replied, with worried eyes.
"Oh my! Have you gotten things packed? I think she's going to give birth!" Theresa asked, standing up.
"Yeah, they're in our room! I'll go get them. Call mama, ok?" he ordered and rushed out of the room.
Theresa went over to the phone, looking back at Charity to make sure she was ok. Theresa punched in the numbers, while Ethan Martin began asking why his aunty was crying out like that. Miguel came back into the room in no time after Theresa got off the phone with Pilar. She said she'd come to the hospital as soon as she could.
"ARGH! MIGUEL!!" Charity yelled.
"What? What's wrong, honey?" he asked.
"I THINK MY WATER JUST BROKE!" she replied, trying to breathe.
A/N SOOOOOOO sorry about not updating in over a week! I've been busy with school and assignments. I hope you liked this chapter. More to come soon. Just to clarify why I chose Tom and Rebecca. Tom was an old crush and Rebecca is a great friend of mine who is somewhat like a Charity in my life so I thought she fitted the character! LOL! R&R! Coming soon: a chapter inspired by an episode of Friends! You can be sure it'll be good then! Lol!
