Summary: Chapter 43: After rehearsals, Fox, Theresa and Little Ethan go down to the beach and have some fun yet at the same time a heart-to-heart. R&R!
After Chad and Whitney's wedding rehearsal and lunch, Fox, Theresa and Ethan Martin said their good-byes and decided to go down to the beach. When they got there, Ethan Martin ran off to build a sandcastle while the two lovers, Fox and Theresa sat down on the warm sand to talk.
"I could tell you had fun at the rehearsals today," Theresa commented, smiling.
Fox laughed. "Yeah, it's the first time I have ever been part of an actual wedding that's not about company mergers. So, yes I did have fun today. I especially enjoyed walking down the aisle with you," Fox replied, looking into Theresa's eyes.
Theresa took his hands into hers. "Me too," she whispered slowly.
They both leaned towards the other and their lips met in a passionate kiss. When they finally stopped kissing, Fox spoke.
"I've been thinking a lot about us lately. About settling down and having a family," Fox started.
"You have?" Theresa asked.
"Yes. And I was wondering if you have chosen who you want to be with yet. I'm not trying to hurry you, don't get me wrong. I just wanted to know," Fox continued.
Theresa dropped her head in shame. "No. I have no clue. When I'm with you, I want to be with you forever. But when I'm with Ethan, I want to be with him always. I just don't know whom to choose. Not yet anyway. I'm sorry."
"It's ok. I can say without a doubt that neither of us are angry in any way," Fox assured Theresa.
Fox placed his arm around Theresa's should and she leaned over to sit in his arms. He kissed her forehead and the two watched Ethan Martin making his sandcastle. After a while, the little boy trotted back to the adults with dirty hands.
"Mama, I'm tired," he whined.
Theresa smiled and wiped his hands clean of the sand. She glanced over to Fox and he nodded.
"Let's get you home and cleaned up then, shall we?" Fox suggested, getting up and brushing the sand off his clothes.
Theresa followed him, holding Ethan Martin's hand. They got into the car and drove back to the Lopez-Fitzgerald house.
Fox pulled over at the driveway and Theresa unbuckled her seat belt.
"Thanks for taking us and thank you for accepting the job as best man," Theresa told Fox.
"No problem. I had fun anyway," Fox replied.
Theresa kissed Fox on the lips, a short yet one filled with love. "Bye," she said, getting out of the car and helping Little Ethan out. They waved good-bye to Fox and then went inside.
Theresa walked inside her bedroom, putting down her keys and bag.
"Now let's get you into the bath tub, bubs!" Theresa led her son into the bathroom.
