Chapter 16: I just lost it
Teresa stepped out of the shower and tiptoed around the mess in the room that Fox had made while trying to kill Ethan. She noticed something within the mess of the desk that Ethan's body had broken. She got dressed and picked it up to look at it. She opened the folder labeled: Nick Crane, Personal and Confidential. So naturally she opened it. She started to flip threw pages and pages of profiles and pictures of women. Naked women. Each past was dated and the last page dated yesterday. He had labeled each picture with how many times he had "been" with each woman. Teresa flipped threw about seventy profiles and pictures and threw it against a wall. She screamed, "What the hell? Yesterday? That last one was dated yesterday!" She went back to the desk and pulled out other folders labeled: Nick Crane, Personal and Confidential. She noticed some were in French, the language he took in school. She couldn't read them but she knew what they were.
Teresa ran into her mother's bathroom and looked for her pain pills. She found them and got some water. She went back to the room and flipped through Fox' drawers in the dresser and noticed that he had PLAYBOY magazines in there. She went ballistic. "What I'm not good enough for him?" She heard a car pull up to the house and closed up the dresser and popped the pain pills. She said, "This will teach him." She collapsed.
Miguel walked into the house to check on Teresa. He didn't want to leave her earlier with Fox. He was crazy and he wasn't in his right mind. Miguel knew that Fox would never hurt his sister, but he wanted to check on them. Miguel began to walk around the house calling for Teresa and Fox, but there was no answer. He said, "Something has to be wrong." He walked towards Teresa's room and pushed the door open. He saw Teresa on the floor. He ran over to her and checked for a pulse. He noticed Fox wasn't anywhere to be found and started to put the blame on him, but then he saw the folders with the women in it and a bottle of his mother's pills and a shattered glass and water on the floor. "Teresa, oh my god. Please, don't tell me you did this to yourself." He picked her up off the floor and took her to the hospital.
Fox walked back into the house and stopped at Teresa's door, she wasn't in the room. He called for her and there was no answer. His first instinct was Ethan, but he knew he wouldn't dare show his face there again. He called Miguel and asked if he took Teresa somewhere or heard from her: "Miguel, hey its Fox. Do you know where Teresa is?" "Yeah. Fox, she's with me, we're at the hospital." "Hospital? What happened? Are you guys okay? Is it Charity or Trinity?" "No man. It's Teresa." "Teresa?" Fox felt his heart race. "I-is she all right?" "No, Fox. You better get here, and fast." "I'm on my way." Fox hung up with Miguel and tucked the ring into his jacket pocket and took off for the hospital.
Pilar, Luis, Charity, and Whitney arrived at the hospital together. They poured questions on Miguel and he said, "I can't say anything, you guys have to wait for Fox to get here." Luis started to pace, "Damn Crane. I'm going to kill him." Pilar sat her son down and tried to calm him down when Ethan, Ally, and Dylan arrived. Miguel turned around and said, "News travels fast. Damn." Fox was the last to arrive and Miguel and Dylan had to restrain him. Luis yelled, "What did you do to her?" Fox said, "I didn't so anything! She cheated on me with Ethan and now she's pregnant! I told her to take a shower and I went to buy an engagement ring!" They were all stunned. Pilar said, "Mi hija is pregnant?" "Yes, Pilar, and we don't know who the father really is, but Teresa is hoping its mine." Luis left room after hearing this. He was flipping out and Sheridan had just arrived and tried to calm him down.
Dr. Russell came out from a room and addressed them, "Teresa will be just fine, but she is pregnant. She needs to keep her stress level down and needs to stay away from these pain killers she took." Fox looked at Dr. Eve, "Pain killers?" "Yes, Fox, she took a lot of them and passed out." "Do you know why she took them?" "Well, Fox, she didn't say, but she would like to talk with her mother. Maybe Pilar can find out." Pilar stood up and nodded and went into the room.
"Teresa, mi hija, what happened?" "Mama, I'm pregnant." Pilar looked at her daughter and smiled, "Yes. I know. Fox and Eve told us." "Mama, I cheated on Fox with Ethan and the baby could be his. I took the pills because I found some papers Fox had. He kept a profile on each woman he slept with and the last one was dated yesterday." "I see." Teresa asked her mother to leave the room and get Fox for her. Fox came in and spoke with her, "Teresa. What happened?" "Fox, I found a folder of yours, with woman and profiles and dates you slept with them last," Fox's smile disappeared, "and the last one was dated yesterday." "Yesterday? No Teresa, the last one was dated with yesterday's date, but I never put the year on them. That was from years and years ago." "Then why do you still have them? And why do you have PLAYBOYs in your dresser?" "They aren't mine, they're Dylan's, and he asked me to keep them because Ally started a daily inspection of his room. It's ridiculous." "Are you being honest with me?" "Yes. Teresa I don't need magazines with fake girls, I have you, and trust me, you're more than enough." She laughed. He kissed her forehead. "I love you, Teresa, and I love this baby." She kissed him. "I love you too, Nicky." Luis burst into the room and did his "older brother caring act". Sheridan had to drag him out of the room.
After a couple of hours everyone except for Miguel had left Teresa. Miguel drove her home, while Fox was at the house cleaning up. He found the folders and magazines and burned them and he bought Teresa a new desk. Pilar had cooked dinner and it was silent. Luis was at Sheridan's cottage. Miguel and Charity had put Trinity to bed. Fox and Teresa just wanted to stay quiet. It was raining outside and no one was up to discussing the day's events. After dinner Miguel, Charity and Pilar went to their rooms and later so did Fox and Teresa. Teresa dressed for bed as did Fox, because it was quite late. Teresa went into bed and closed her eyes, not saying a word to Fox. Fox climbed into bed next to her and turned the lamp off. He turned towards her, although her back was towards him, he placed his arm around her waist and asked her, "Why did you do it?" She simply said, "I just lost it."
