Theresa is rushed to the hospital with Noah and Luis not far behind. As she is wheeled in Eve rushes to the stretcher to examine her.
"What are we looking at?" Eve asks
"She lost a lot of blood, flat lined once in the ambulance but we have her stabilized. Her heartrate is low." The EMT says
"Alright we have a gunshot to the right shoulder, I need to get her prepped for surgery. Run a blood panel and get her in Exam room 1, I want the results in 5 minutes got it?" Eve says as the nurses scramble to get everything ready.
"Eve, it should have been me. She jumped in the way and took that bullet for me." Noah says
"Theresa is all heart and would do anything for love." Eve says rubbing Noah's shoulder.
"Save her, please. We just started to get back together since I found out about Little Ethan." Noah says
"She's not going anywhere; I'll make sure of that." Eve says as she rushes away to get ready
Pilar, Gwen and Fox run in along with Sam and Hank and Julian far behind.
"Where's my Teresita?" Pilar demands in tears
"She's being prepped for surgery Eve is gonna save her." Noah says
"What happened who would do this?" Gwen says holding Pilar up
"This guy named Spike, his mother is Susan Lester." Noah says
"Susan, oh my God she was the head of Crane Couture." Gwen says
"She told her son to abduct Theresa so- I don't even want to imagine what she would have done to Theresa if she got her." Noah says
"That woman will pay!" Pilar says
"Dam right they both will." Luis says
"We just picked her up and her and her son are being held without bail." Hank says
"Alistair's made sure of it." Sam says
"Alistair?" Pilar asks
"Grandfather is not happy about this he really admires Theresa and how she saved his life in the earthquake. So now he will protect her as if she is one of his own." Fox says as Pilar smiles
"Alistair is a better man than we thought." Pilar says as Sheridan runs in
"Is it true about Theresa?" Sheridan says
"Yes, but she's going into surgery and she'll be fine." Noah says almost in shock just then Eve comes out
"Nurse do you have the bloodwork and vitals of Theresa?" Eve says
"Yes I do right here." The nurse says as she hands Eve the chart.
Eve studies the chart and then her eyes widen and she places her hand on her mouth. "Oh God" she whispers but it being so quiet everyone hears
"Eve what is it?" Pilar asks
"I just read over her condition and it appears that-" Eve says then cut off by Gwen
"What's her condition?" Gwen asks in tears
"She's pregnant." Eve says as everyone turns to Noah and he stands there in shock
"What does that mean? You can still save her right?" Sheridan says
"Of course but-" Eve says
"But what?" Gwen asks
"It's so early in her pregnancy and the trauma there's a chance she may lose the baby." Eve says as Gwen sobs out loud
"I am going to do everything in my power to make sure it doesn't happen do you understand me?" Eve says to Gwen and Pilar
"I can't believe this she's pregnant with my baby!" Noah says
"Who is?" Julian asks finally joining the conversation
"Theresa." Noah says
"Oh my God, don't worry Eve will save her." Julian says comforting Noah
"Thank you Julian." Noah says as Theresa is wheeled out of the exam room into the hallway as Noah and everyone else rush to her and Noah takes her hand. Eve walks up. "Eve's gonna help you now sweetie." Noah says as Theresa's hand squeezes Noah's lightly. "She squeezed my hand." Noah says
"She can hear you but we need to get her into surgery. Time is of the essence!" Eve says as Theresa's eyes open slightly she goes to talk as Noah puts her hand to his face.
"Don't talk Theresa save your energy. You stay with us you hear." Noah says as he kisses her hand as she smiles and drifts off he leans over and kisses her on the cheek then whispers in her ear and she is wheeled away.
Gwen walks up to him. "She's going to be just fine she is one of the strongest women I know." She says
"I know she is, I just told her about the baby to give her a little boost and that I loved her that's the first time I told her that but I meant it." Noah says
"Well I can safely say if there was any doubt before now, she will fight and stay with us." Gwen says giving him a hug as Fox walks up
"Noah I am so sorry." Fox says
"Thanks Fox. Will you do me a favor?" Noah asks
"Name it." Fox says
"Can you call Ethan and let him know what happened?" Noah asks
"Are you sure?" Fox asks
"Definitely he should know." Noah says
"You got it." Fox says as he takes out his phone and dials Ethan as Noah goes and joins Pilar
"Hello?" Ethan says as he picks up
"Ethan it's Fox." Fox says
"What's wrong you sound-" Ethan says
"It's Theresa she's been shot. They just brought her into surgery." Fox says
"Oh my God are you kidding, I'll be right there." Ethan says
"Listen there are so many of us here already and you are still weak we can handle it." Fox says as Gwen walks up
"No forget it I'm coming now." Ethan says loud so Gwen hears him she takes the phone
"Ethan it's Gwen, listen we need you to help us. I know you wanna come here but I have a better idea Fox and I are going to go back to the mansion and we will bring Little Ethan to you. Theresa needs to get this surgery now and her family is here." Gwen says forcefully
"That sounds good I really shouldn't leave anyway." Ethan says
"Little Ethan is gonna need you alright." Gwen says
"And I'll be there for him." Ethan says
"Ok well be over in a little bit." Gwen says and is about to hang up
"Gwen, seriously thank you." Ethan says
"Don't mention it." Gwen says as she hangs up
"That's brilliant Gwen." Fox says
"Now not a word about the baby got it!" Gwen says
"Again brilliant!" Fox says kissing her hand
"You sound surprised, of course I'm brilliant but let's go let everyone know our plan." Gwen says giving Fox a quick kiss before they run into everyone. "Pilar, everyone we just let Ethan know what's going on and he tried to come here but I had a better idea." Gwen says as Fox finishes the thought
"Instead of jeopardizing his recovery Gwen and I are going to bring Little Ethan to him so he can watch him until Theresa is 100%." Fox says as Pilar embraces Gwen
"Gwen thank you so much." Pilar says
"Anything for you guys. Be sure to tell Theresa we're thinking about her." Gwen says
"We will." Pilar says as Gwen and Fox leave
They all sit in the waiting room and time ticks away in the operating room Theresa is laying there as the heart rate monitor begins to beep.
"Eve, she's flat lining again." A nurse says
"We're almost there we are not going to lose her or this baby." Eve says grabbing the defibrillator panels. "Alright everyone CLEAR!" Eve says as she the panels do their job.
