Mending A Broken' Heart

The Plane Arrived at 5 o' clock that evening, Fox had been quite the whole trip, he just keep playing over the events of the night before in his head.

He arrived at the hospital at 5:15.

Pilar, Ethan, Gwen, Luis, Sheridan, everyone important to Theresa was there.

"Fox.", Sheridan uttered.

Everyone turn to see him and Kathelina walk in.

"What are you doing here ?", Ethan asked.

"Seeing, his wife.", Kathelina replied. She'd always stuck up for Fox.

"Katherine, what are you doing here ?", Sheridan asked.

"I'm here with Foxworth, he's been staying with me in Europe, since last night.", she replied.

"Where is she ?", Fox asked.

"In there.", Whitney said pointing at the cubical.

"Can, I go see her ?", he asked.

"Sure, but, be quite, she maybe asleep.", Whitney replied.

Fox nodded and walked behind the curtain.

"So, how long are you planning on staying ?", Ethan asked.

"Don't know yet, I'm seriously considering enrolling in Harmony U next semester.", she replied.

"Why ? Why would you want to come to Harmony U and leave Harvard ?", Ethan asked.

"Ethan, my family is in Harmony, you, mother, father, auntie Sheridan, Fox. Besides, I've really missed Harmony in general.", she replied.

"Pilar, Oh My God, you haven't changed at bit and this must be Little Ethan, he's is beautiful.", Kathelina said running up to Pilar.

"Katherine Joanna, you've certainly changed.", Pilar commented.

"Yeah, the last time I was home I was 13.", she replied.

"So, where have you been living ?", Pilar questioned.

"Europe, I'm studying, law there.", she replied.

"So, I take it you're planning to become a lawyer.", Pilar asked.

"Yeah, I always was interested in criminal justice.", she replied.

"I know, you, Miguel and Kay use to love to watch murder mystery stories.", Pilar replied.

"Where are they, I haven't saw Miguel or Kay in years. I'm sure Kay and Miguel are together by now.", Kathelina asked.

"No, actually, Miguel's with Kay's cousin Charity Standish, Charity's a really nice girl.", Pilar replied.

"Oh, so is Kay, engaged or dating someone.", she asked.

"No, Kay is pregnant with Miguel's baby.", Pilar informed her.

"Oh.", Kathelina replied. 'Kay pregnant by Miguel, what in the world '

"I know what you're thinking, it's not what you think.", Pilar replied.

"I know, Miguel is a decent person, him and Kay.", she replied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Fox stood there watching her sleep.

She looked so pale, so vulnerable.

She began to stir.

"Resa, go back to sleep, I'm here and I'll never leave you again.", he whispered softly.

"Fox.", she asked drossy.

"I'm right here.", he replied.

"Oh, my God, how did you get here ? When did you get here ?", she asked.

"My sister called Whitney, and Whit, told me about you having Leukemia and I was hell bent on getting to my Resa.", he replied.

"Your Resa ?", she questioned.

"You heard me, my Resa. I'm never going to leave you again.", he replied.

"Where'd you go ?", she asked.

"Europe, to stay with Kat, you two will get along perfect.", he replied.

"I missed you.", she replied.

"And I missed you.", he replied.

"You should rest.", he began.

"Fox, don't. Don't act like I'm helpless. I'm still the same Theresa, I'm not weak.", she replied.

"I'm not, act like that Resa, ok I just think you should rest.", he replied.

"Ok, only because I can't do nothing anyways.", she replied.

He smiled.

"Stubborn as ever I see.", he replied.

She smiled up at him.

"You bet. Because I'm in the hospital doesn't mean I can't get what I want.", she replied.

"And what do you want ?", he asked.

"You, to stay with me tonight.", she replied.

"How, could I say no.", he replied he went over and sit in the seat at the left side of her bed.

"No, lay here, with me.", she said scooting over allow him to lie beside her.

He did as she asked.

Theresa closed her eyes in Fox's arms, neither cared about what may happen tomorrow, they were there now and Theresa knew she could face whatever life threw at her as long as Fox was by her side.

Ethan stood there watching them.

`It should be me with her, not Fox she still loves me I know it'

"Fox, you don't deserve her. She's mine, she'll always be mine.", Ethan muttered to himself.

"No, Ethan, you're wrong, Fox does deserve her, you lost her the day you married Gwen.

And I swear you will not, break them up. I'll make sure of that.", Kathelina said catching Ethan off guard.

"Kat, you're too, nosey for your own good. You can't stop me, you're forgetting, who I am.", Ethan began.

"What, you're not a Crane, I am. All the friends you had turned on you the day the found out you wasn't a Crane. So from where I'm standing you've got no power, no money, no influence.", Kathlina replied.

"No, but I've got Theresa's heart, see she still loves me.", Ethan began.

"Eth, you felling ok, Theresa, didn't you, she asked for Fox. What does that tell you, hmm ?

"She loves Foxworth, not you.", Kathelina replied.

"Be real would you, no one ever loved Fox, he's not worthy of their love.", Ethan began.

"Are you really that jealous, Ethan. So jealous that you got to have everything Fox has got.", Kathelina asked.

"He's jealous of me, he took Theresa away from me. He brainwashed her into believing she loves him.", Ethan replied.

"Yeah, sure, right. Theresa isn't going to sit in one place and wait for you to come back to her. She moved on, just like you should. You've got a baby on the way and wife who loves you. Be happy with what you got. Gwen is a very nice person and above all else she loves you.", Kathelina replied.
