Chapter 9- Conflicts

A/N: Finally, I updated!!! Lol! Yea, I know, it's been forever since I last updated. Well, I want to say a special thank you to all of my Loyal reviewers! If it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't be writing!^_^

Disclaimer: I don't own Passions or any of the characters in this story except for Nurse Michelle. If I did, Trust me, there would be A LOT of chances, especially with the whole Theresa Fox Whitney and Chad scene!

Welp, on to the story^__^

*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*$*

Theresa ran, looking for Eve.

Dr. Russell," she yelled, "Dr. Russell!"

Eve came out of the X-ray room, just in time to hear Theresa calling for her.

"Theresa, what's wrong, dear?" Eve asked worriedly.

"It's Ethan, he's hurt! Follow me!" she exclaimed, breathless.

Theresa ran ahead, while Dr. Russell followed from behind.

When they reached where Ethan was, they saw Fox standing over him.

"What happened?! What's going on?" she screamed, going over to an unconscious Ethan.

"Apparently, he saw Fox and me kissing. He came over and argued with me and Fox. Then he hurt me, and he ran right into the wall," Theresa explained, leaving out a few things.

"Oh no! I can't revive him!" Dr. Russell exclaimed, panicking.

"Nurses!" she yelled.

Three nurses came running.

"Get him to his room immediately," Dr. Russell ordered.

---------------

*1 hour and 30 minutes later*

Ethan was hooked up to all the various monitors and machines. Theresa walked in. She was last in line to see Ethan.

She knew what she wanted to say to him.

"Ethan, I loved you once upon a time," she said softly next to his bedside.

She reached into her purse and pulled out a folded piece of paper.

"I wrote this poem about you a LONG time ago, before I gave up on you...us," she said, choosing her words carefully.

She unfolded the piece of paper and began to read it aloud:

'The days fly by as fast as they can,

And I sit and wonder 'God, is it me or is he just a man?'

The one and only time I give it all I've got,

You turn around and are like 'Yeah whatever, Thanks a lot.'

I give you the one thing that is hard to give, my heart and soul,

But instead you burnt it like a train burns coal.

What hurts the most is you don't believe me,

You would rather live in your own world,

And see what you want to see.'

*(Poem written by Saddie Bell)*

By the time Theresa had finished, tears were running down her face.

"You wrote that for me?" a voice asked.

Theresa was shocked to hear a voice.

She looked over at Ethan, and saw his eyes open, searching deep down into Theresa.

"Ethan! Oh my god! How long have you been awake?" she asked, shocked.

"Long enough to know that you are still in love with me," Ethan said, pulling her face down to his.

He forced his mouth upon hers and kissed her hard on her lips.

Theresa struggled against him, but gave up, for Ethan was too strong.

Just then, Fox opened the door and stepped in.

"What the hell is going on in here?" he asked, angrily.

Ethan let go of Theresa; Theresa pulled away, gasping for breath.

"I asked a question, and I demand an answer," he yelled.

"Go away Fox! We are trying to share a special moment!" Ethan yelled back in fury.

Theresa gasped.

"Liar!!" she yelled at Ethan.

"Fox, it's not how it looks," she said, desperately.

"No, it's exactly how it looks," Fox said, anger and sadness filling his voice.

Theresa could tell he was hurting inside.

"Fox, just listen! Ethan forced himself on me," Theresa said desperately trying to explain to Fox.

Ethan shook his head indignantly.

"You don't have to lie about what happened between us. We both wanted that passionate steamy kiss, and you know it," he said quite harshly.

Theresa became extremely frustrated with Ethan and the whole situation.

"NO," she cried out, "I DON'T LOVE YOU ETHAN! I LOVE FOX!"

Ethan was certainly stunned by her outburst, and angry at the same time.

A smile appeared on Fox's face, though it was gone as quickly as it came.

"Then why did you kiss Ethan?" he asked.

"I didn't! Ethan forced himself on to me! You know he is too strong for me! Please Fox! You have to believe me! I love you! I would never cheat on you," she said.

Fox just stood there, silent.

"Fox, if I wanted to be with Ethan, I would be with him right now. But I'm not! I'm with you and only you," she said, crying.

Fox went over her and took her in his arms.

Theresa put her arms around him.

"I mean it Fox; I love you, not Ethan."

"I love you too, Theresa," he said.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^

*Meanwhile*

Rebecca walked into Dr. Russell's office.

"Rebecca? What are you doing here?" Eve asked quizzically.

"I've come to demand a favor," she said hastily.

"Demand a favor? I don't do favors for sluts," Eve said, coldly.

"You will now. You are going to make sure those test results say that Ethan is NOT the father, that Fox is," Rebecca demanded.

"What?! No! Never!" Eve said, appalled.

"Oh, you will, Eve. Unless you want everyone to know of your hideous past with a certain Julian Crane," Rebecca said, smiling deviously.

Eve stood there in shock.

"Oh that's right Eve, I know all about it! Don't ask me how; it's a waste of time. But you WILL do what I say, or else," Rebecca said, threateningly.

Eve didn't say anything. Rebecca looked at her watch.

"Fox and Theresa will be here any minute now. I better go. You just remember what I said," Rebecca said, as she walked out the office door.

!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!%!

*Ethan's Room*

The nurses entered Ethan's room.

"We need everyone to leave while we check-up on Ethan," one of the nurses said, motioning to the door.

Fox and Theresa nodded, and made their way out of Ethan's room.

Fox looked over at Theresa once they were out of the room. He could tell something was on her mind.

"Theresa, is something wrong?" he asked.

Theresa sighed. "Well, no, but there is something I need to ask of you."

Fox gave her a confused look, and asked, "What is it Theresa?"

Theresa took a deep breath. "I need you to take a DNA test...Ethan too."

"Oh, well, of course I'll do it Theresa. You just name the time and place," Fox said, a bit relieved.

Theresa smiled. "Well, 3:35 and here," she said.

Fox looked at his watch. "It's 3:35 now."

"What?!" Theresa exclaimed. She looked at her watch, and indeed, it said 3:35.

"Oh my god! We have to get to Dr. Russell's office right away!" she said, pulling him after her and she ran down the corridors.

*Dr. Russell's Office*

Eve sat there, somewhat impatient.

"I hope the father is Fox, not Ethan, because I don't want to have to lie to them," she said to herself.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. It was Theresa and Fox. Eve motioned for them to come in.

"Sorry we're late, Dr.Russell!" Theresa exclaimed.

"That's alright dear," she said.

Fox and Theresa sat down.

"There is a slight problem," Theresa said, "We can't do Ethan because of his condition."

"Yes, I know. But since there are only two possible fathers, then if it isn't Fox's then it's Ethan's," she explained.

"Oh, that's right," Theresa said.

"Well, shall we start?" Eve asked.

Fox nodded.

"Okay Fox, come right this way," she said, motioning for him to follow her.

"Theresa, you sit tight. We'll be back in a moment," Eve said, as they walked out the office and closed the door.

Theresa nodded. "I hope this baby is Fox's," she said to herself.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

*Lab: One hour later*

Eve walked over to the computer. The report of the DNA test was printing out.

When it was down printing, Eve walked over to it, and picked up the piece of paper.

Eve looked at the paper, and nodded.

"Okay, here goes," she said, leaving the room.

*Dr. Russell's office*

Theresa and Fox were sitting patiently, waiting for Dr. Russell to return with the results. Both were extremely anxious to know if Fox was the father...or Ethan.

They heard foot steps approaching the door. They stood up, knowing it was Eve with the test results.

Dr. Russell stepped into the room.

"Well, I have the results," she said.

"So the father is...?" Theresa asked, anxiously.

"The father of Little Ethan is..."

TBC!!
