Title: Fall From Grace
Author: Christine,
Rating: Hard R
Pairings: Alistair/Theresa, Theresa/Fox
Summary: Somebody's going to take a dive. Who's manipulating whom?
Notes: First off, I don't own the characters. NBC does. Second, let's forget this whole embryo business. Theresa is not pregnant. I just don't have the strength to work that in, forgive me! Don't let the Alistair/Theresa pairing scare you off – isn't the concept interesting in itself?
Prologue"Why, Fox?" Theresa screamed as tears trickled down her cheeks. "Why did you play me for a damn fool!"
"Theresa—"
"All this time... it's been Whitney. All this time. You were never serious about giving us a chance. Never! God, did you imagine it was me when we kissed? Made love?"
"Of course not!"
She dismissed him as she continued her tirade, "I can't believe I defended you! You—you are nothing but a Crane, through and through. You find something you want, and then you do everything you can to get it—damn the consequences and the people you have to hurt in the process!"
"Please, let me explain!" Fox yelled.
"No, you make sick!" Theresa cried and ran from the man she thought would be her second chance at a happy ending.
