Summary: There are rumors that Ethan take Jane and lil Ethan from both Theresa and Gwen…I decided to run with it…except he doesn't take Jane from Gwen, he just takes lil Ethan from Theresa because he learns that he's their son…so he and Gwen are raising both of Theresa's children…Alistair has returned and taken all power from her…that's how he kept her two children…as soon as Alistair returned he told Ethan that lil Ethan was his son…and Ethan was still furious with Theresa and didn't want an "unstable" mother raising his children. So Theresa has lost all hope and doesn't know what to do.
Theresa takes a walk on the wharf…its past midnight…and she was just at the mercy of Alistair…so she's feeling really low.
Thinking out loud...but barely audible …"God…how could you let Ethan take both of my children from me…this isn't fair…I'm now Alistair's wife…he's broken his promise about getting me Jane and Ethan…and now I don't even have my son.
Ethan is walking toward the wharf and sees Theresa in the distance.
There's a disturbance behind Theresa but she barely notices it…from all of the voices inside her head.
"LADY! GIVE ME YOUR PURSE! AND I WON'T SHOOT YOU! NOW!"
"Take it…I don't care about it." Theresa said it so low that he couldn't hear her.
"ARE YOU DEAF! GIVE ME YOUR PURSE…OR I SWEAR YOU WON'T LIVE TO SEE ANOTHER DAY!
"It doesn't matter anyway; I don't have anything to live for…" And the mugger still couldn't hear her and thought she was being stupid.
"THAT'S IT YOU ASKED FOR IT!" He pulls a gun on her and gives her one last warning. Ethan now sees whats happening. "Theresa!" Hearing someone coming…
BAM! He shot Theresa and ran off with her purse.
"THERESA!" Ethan runs over to an unconscious Theresa and cradles her head in his lap as he calls 911. "Oh my god! …Theresa, wake up…Theresa you have to wake up…oh, please god…don't let her die…"
At the hospital
Dr Russell returns after 3 hours of surgery with Theresa trying to remove the bullet.
"Eve!...Is Theresa okay?"
"Well…I have good news and I have bad news…"
"W-Well…what's the good news?"
"The good news is that…the bullet didn't seriously harm Theresa…and she should be fine within a couple days of rest."
"I'm confused…how can there be bad news…that's wonderful."
"Yes…that is…see…Theresa should be fine…and awake…but she hasn't."
"What does that mean?"
"Well…the thing is…its just that Theresa should have woken up…but when she never did…we ran some tests on brain activity…"
"Oh my God…is she okay…she's not brain dead is she?"
"I'm not finished…Theresa is suffering a condition of pistamemória syndrome?" (This is something I made up…it was an idea from Buffy…lol)
"What?"
"That's a condition where the victim traps themselves in their minds. They usually play memories over and over in their heads…its fairly complicated. Now to be honest…I've had patients who have come out of this within a few hours…but on the other hand…I've seen them stay there for years…not having the will to come back."
"Are you saying that Theresa may stay like that for years?"
"Well…I don't think Theresa would…she's always had a zest for life for as long as I can remember…and I'm sure Theresa would want to get back to her children…she wouldn't want little Ethan at the mercy of Alistair for very long".
Ethan just starred into space…scared…
"Ethan? What's wrong?"
"Its just that…umm…little Ethan won't be at the mercy of Alistair regardless…"
"What?"
"Well…I took Theresa's rights away from her…once Alistair returned…he told me that I was little Ethan's father…and because I was so mad at Theresa for going bizurk with power…I told her I couldn't let my son be raised by an unstable mother anymore."
"Ethan…no! How in the world could you do that Theresa…you already took her little girl from her…she knows you won't leave Gwen for her…and now you've take the one thing from Theresa that was keeping her going?"
"I know, I know…I screwed up…"
"Yeah…you could say that again…all I've ever known about Theresa all her life is she wanted to be Mrs. Ethan Crane…be a family with you…well…she's a Crane alright…to Alistair…have you forgotten about him? She is still at the mercy of Alistair…him raping her whenever he can…and I'm sure he won't let her go...and now she has nothing…like seriously nothing…not her children…you…not even her pride or dignity…and you're to blame…"
"Look I don't want to hear this right now! He sighs, "Can I just see Theresa?"
"Sure…good luck getting her out of it too…cause you're going to need it…I'd be surprised if Theresa would even want to hear your voice".
"I know…but I have to try…" He enters Theresa's room.
Theresa is lying on the bed with her eyes wide open however they tear every few minutes and tears drop off her face. Ethan wipes one away and sits down next to her holding her hands.
"Theresa…I'm so sorry…I know I put you here…why didn't you listen to the mugger…that's a stupid question…she probably didn't even hear him with all that happened that last couple of days—so much on her mind. Theresa you just have to wake up…I hate seeing you like this…especially knowing I'm the one that put you here…"
Ethan fell asleep with her hands in his…and stayed there the rest of the night.
PLEASE RATE!
Coming:
