Chapter 14
Heart Breakin' Choice
The next morning came quickly and Theresa knew she'd have to start her chemo today, she knew she'd be ok, as long as Fox and her family was there.
"Hey, beautiful.", Fox greeted.
"Hey, how long you been here ?", she asked.
"All night, I told you I wasn't never leaving.", he replied.
"Thanks, you know for being here.", she replied.
"Knock, knock.", Whitney said.
"Hey, Whit.", Theresa greeted.
Kathelina, walked in behind Whitney.
"So, you're the girl who stole my brother's heart ?", Kathelina asked.
"Yep, she is.", Fox replied.
Kathelina went over and hugged Fox and then turned to Theresa. "Kathelina Joanna Crane, but most people call me Kat.", she introduced her self.
"Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald Crane.", she replied then both girls shook hands.
"And I thought my name was long.", Kathelina replied.
Theresa laughed.
"So, are you ready to start your chemo.", Whitney asked, she was kind of jealous of the relationship between Fox and Theresa.
"No, I'll never be ready, but I must because if I don't I'll never get better.", Theresa replied.
"You, will be just find. You've got some many people who love you, and if you ask me love can get you through anything.", Kathelina replied.
"Now do you see why, I said you and Kat would get along perfectly.", Fox asked.
"Well, I have to get along with her, she's my sister in law and she's right, love will get you through anything.", Theresa replied.
The doctor walked in.
"Sorry to interrupt, but I would really like to have a word along with Ms. Crane.", he said simply.
"Sure, see you later.", Kathelina said then her and Whitney walked out.
"Who are you ?", he asked looking at Fox.
"It's ok, he's my husband.", Theresa replied.
"Oh, I'm sorry, my apologies, Mr. Crane.", he replied.
Fox nodded.
"Ms. Crane, I have some very disturbing news...", he began.
Theresa grabbed Fox hand. `Please, God don't let me die.'
"Ms. Crane you're pregnant...",he began.
"I'm pregnant.", Theresa said looking at Fox with the biggest smile.
"Yes, you are pregnant, but you see if you choose to have this baby, there is no way you could survive this pregnancy and your baby may not survive either...", he began.
"So, you're saying if Theresa don't having a abortion her life as well as the baby's life will be in danger ?", Fox asked.
The doctor nodded.
"I'll leave you two along, to talk this out.", he replied then left.
"I'm not, killing my baby.", Theresa began.
"Resa, look at me, you have to I can't lose you. I don't want to lose our baby either, but I can't lose both of you.", he replied.
"Fox, it's apart of us, I just can't kill him or her.", she began.
"Resa, you have to, how could I explain to our baby that you died because you chose of him or her over your own life.", he replied.
"It's my chose, Fox. It's my body.", she replied.
"Yeah, I know that, but Theresa, you're not thinking logical, we can have another baby, there is only one you.", he replied.
"This baby deserves to have a chance at life.", she replied.
"Resa, think about it this way. Julian will take Little Ethan from me, any court will grant him custody, he is his father, and I'm just his half brother. ", Fox tried to reason with her.
"No, Ethan will help you, fight, Julian. He knows I never wanted my son to be raised by a man like Julian.", Theresa replied.
"He may try, Resa, but take my word Ethan can't win that case. Ok, I know the court system, they believe that a parent is very important to a child.", he replied.
"Well, you and Kat can kidnap him, take him to Paris, Italy, Germany, somewhere.", Theresa replied.
"Resa, you're not thinking logical, Julian and Alistair are two of the powerful men in the world. I couldn't get away with kidnap, they'd alert every cop on the face of the Earth, and no I can't get us new identities, that wouldn't be a good life style for Little Ethan.", he replied.
"Fox, Please.", she replied.
Fox knew what he had to do, he had to hurt her, he had to make her do what was the best.
"Theresa, I tried to do this where I wouldn't hurt you, but you leave me no choice. Theresa, if you or if you don't have this baby our relationship is over. I've tried to love you, but I can't, I will always love Whitney. So, if you do have this baby I want nothing to do with it or you." he replied.
"Fox, you can't mean it.", she replied.
"I do, Theresa, I don't want nothing to do with either of you.", he replied.
"Good, because I'm not going to have a baby that belongs to you.", she replied.
"Good, I didn't want to have a baby with my father's ex wife.", he replied. `Yes, Theresa I'm so sorry, but it was the only way to get you to do what has to be done.'
