Chapter 8 – Landing and Going to the Hospital

(EVEPOV)

As the light flashed on for all of us to put our belts back on I couldn't help but wondering what awaits for us at the hospital. I can't believe Theresa didn't tell anyone that she was pregnant. I had to act surprised when Julian told me because of Patient/Doctor confidentiality. I knew that it was Ethan's but from the look of it he had just found out today and I wonder who told him. As far as I knew the only people who knew were Theresa and me. I just hope that she is alright and that the babies are okay. When I did her first Ultra Sound I only saw one baby but the other baby must have been hiding behind the first baby. As we started to descend I closed my eyes and prayed that Theresa would make it through this and so would her kids. I know how much she wanted these kids.

(WPOV)

I still have not been able to take it all in. I could not believe that Theresa was pregnant and that she was in an accident. I looked over to where Ethan was sitting and I saw the tears in his eyes. I leaned forward and said "Ethan you need to stay positive. Theresa is a strong young lady and she will make it through this. Ethan you just need to believe in her and believe in the love that you have for her that she and the babies will be okay." I saw Ethan nod and I leaned back in my seat and closed my eyes and prayed that Theresa, the babies, Ethan and Little Ethan would make it through this and come out stronger for this experience.

(EPOV)

I felt the plane touch down as we landed and as soon as we stopped I unbuckled my seat belt and headed to open the door to get the steps down so that we could get out of the plane. After I had opened up the door and got the steps down I looked down and then said "Oh Crap." I can't believe I forgot about that. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I looked back to see who it was and noticed that both Julian and Sam had came up behind me and both put their hands on my shoulders. Julian and Sam looked at each other and then at me and they both said at the same time "What is it Ethan?" I took a deep breath and then said "I forgot to have a car waiting for us to take us straight to the hospital. How could I forget that? How could I be so stupid as to not have called and arranged for a car for all of us?" Sam looked at Julian and then at me and said "Ethan, it is alright. I did call for a car to be here and it should be here soon. I figured the only way to get us all there was to order a limo so we could all ride together. See there son, it is pulling in now." I looked out to where Sam was pointing and sighed and said for the first time "Thanks, Dad I'm glad that you thought about arranging a car. I know I never tell you this but Sam I'm lucky to have you as a dad and Julian I'm lucky that you're still in my life. You both have been so helpful and Sam I'm going to start calling you dad more because one thing I have learned through all this is that you never know when your time could be up or when someone you love will leave and if you never tell them what you think then they will not know. So Dad I love you and thank you for coming to be with me and thank you too Julian. Your guys support means the world to me. Now let's get to that hospital. I need to see the love of my life and make sure that she doesn't give up fighting."

(SPOV)

I stood there as pride filled my heart. My son had finally called me dad. I am just sorry it took this happening for him to do it. I looked at Julian and saw that he was smiling at me and I put my hand out towards him and said "Julian, I know we have had our differences but I hope we can put them behind us and move forward and get to know each other and maybe be friends. I think that we need to try for the sake of our family and our friends." As I was saying his I was looking Julian in the eyes so that he could see I was serious. Julian nodded and put his hand in mine and said "Sam, you are right and I think we could be good friends. Now let's get going before our boy here explodes." I nodded at him and said "Okay everyone lets get going. We need to get to the hospital as quick as we can." I looked around and saw everyone nodding as Ethan went own the steps with Little Ethan behind him and then Julian helped Pilar down and everyone followed out. As we got into the car I said to the driver "Take us straight to Good Samaritan Hospital please and then take our bags to the hotel." The driver looked back and said "Yes, Sir." I nodded that I was satisfied and sat back and held onto Ivy's hand while she dabbed at her eyes. I looked over at my son and saw him looking out the window and it seemed to me that he really wasn't seeing anything. It took me four times of saying "Ethan, son are you alright?" before he finally looked at me and just nodded.

(EPOV)

I sat on the seat looking out the window and remembering that night two months ago and what I said to Theresa.

***FLASHBACK***

I kissed her slowly while thinking to myself how lucky I am to have this kind of love even when I can not be with the woman I truly love and who is in my heart. I looked down into Theresa's eyes and said "Theresa, God baby I love you so much. I do no know what I would do without you in my life. Never forget how much I love you Theresa. You are the only reason that I breathe." Theresa just looked up at me and then with sad eyes said "Ethan if you love me so much then why are you with Gwen and not me? I love you Ethan but I can't keep doing this. You are either in my life or you're not in my life. You need to decide and decide soon because if I can't have all of you then I don't want any of you. I love you Ethan and you're a big part of my life and always will be but I hurt and I can't keep hurting. It isn't fair to me or to anyone around me who has to help me get happy again." I just nodded and pulled her closer to me and kissed her with what I hope all of my love showing her how much I love her.

***END OF FLASHBACK***

I came back to with Sam's voice asking me "Ethan, son are you alright?" I could not speak so I just nodded to him. If only I had told Theresa that she is the only one for me. If only I had the courage to tell Gwen that we were through none of this would be happening. I would be with the woman I love and she would be safe. I looked back out the car window and realalized we were pulling into the hospital. I heard Sam say "Thank You" to the driver as I opened up the door and got out and I was quickly followed by everyone else. I waited impatiently for everyone to pile out of the limo and then we all rushed into the hospital. At the desk I told the lady sitting there "Hello we are looking for Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald. We are her family." The lady just looked at me until I head Luis say "Look lady we are her family and we want to see her now. We have been on a plane and we just landed and came straight here. Now if you are not bright enough to take us to my sister then get me someone who is NOW!" I looked back at Luis and noticed everyone looking at him and nodding. Finally the woman spoke up and said "This way then."

I could feel my stomach getting upset because I was nervous about what we would find out about Theresa. The woman that we were following stopped at the nurse's desk and then took us into a conference room and said "The doctor will be here in a minute and then he will take you guys to see Miss Fitz-Gerald." I looked at the woman and nodded and she went out shutting the door behind her. I paced the floor while everyone else either sat or leaned against the wall. Finally a few minutes later the doctor came in.

(DoctorsPOV)

I walked into the room and at first I was taken aback with how many people were in this room. I finally cleared my throat and said "Hello, I'm Doctor Adams. If you all will be quiet until I tell you what exactly is wrong with Miss Fitz-Gerald I will be happy to answer any and all questions you have." I looked around the room and everyone nodded at me. I then went on to say "Miss Fitz-Gerald has a severe concussion with two cracked ribs. She also has lacerations on her legs and arms. The babies she is carrying seem to be fine and we have done an Ultra Sound to make sure they were okay. Both babies have strong heartbeats and according to the Ultra Sound Miss Fitz-Gerald is about eight weeks along. Right now she is in a medical induced coma which if her blood pressure keeps down we will bring her out of in the next day or so. Now if you have any questions please ask them before I take you all to see her."

(EPOV)

I sighed in relief as the doctor finished telling us what was wrong with Theresa. I looked at the Doctor and said "Will she be alright when you bring her out of the coma?" The Doctor said "She should be fine. The reason she is in the medical induced coma is because when she came to in the Emergency Room she was frantic about what she believed to be one baby. With cracked ribs and being pregnant it can be hard on her system. Even after we bring her out of the coma she will need to stay in the hospital for at least a couple of weeks so that we can monitor her and the babies. Also I'm told that one of the top obstetricians is on his way here to look at the babies. I'm also told that you brought along Miss Fitz-Gerald's personal physician and she is allowed to look after Theresa also but if she wants to order medicine or test or anything she will need to tell me so that I can have them ordered." I was relieved at this and told the Doctor "Thank you for talking to us. Can you please take us to her now?" The Doctor looked around the room and then said "Of course I will take you to her now. Just remember she is alive and the babies are doing well. Also don't be alarmed by some of the machines she is hooked into." I simply nodded and got ready to follow the doctor. I looked around at my family and friends and saw them do the same thing.
