=--=-=-=-=-=-==---==-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=
The voice let out a hollow laugh.
"I will have you Theresa, you can count on that," the voice said menacingly.
"I've wanted you for so long Theresa, so very long. I couldn't stand seeing you with Ethan. It made my blood boil. But Fox Crane?! That's even worse. No, no, I can't get upset, instead I'll get revenge…now that I'm finally back."
*-------------------------------------------*
Rebecca stood in the hallway outside Dr. Russell's office.
'Good Eve, very good. I knew you would see things my way,' Rebecca thought, a huge grin spreading across her heavily made-up face.
"Ethan will never know he is the father of Little Ethan. Neither will Fox, Theresa, or basically anyone for that matter," she said quietly aloud.
Looking in the window at Fox and Theresa, Rebecca smiled gleefully.
"I'm so glad Fox and Theresa are together. With Fox in the picture, Theresa can't and won't go for Ethan. Everything is working out perfectly!"
"What are you up to Rebecca?" a voice
asked from behind.
~~!-------------------------!~~
Ethan laid in his bed, eyes open staring at the creamy white ceiling above. 'You will be all mine son Theresa, all mine. If you think I'm going to let Fox be with you, my sweet, delicate flower, you've got another thing coming.'
He closed his eyes and dreamed of Theresa's scent.

Gwen sat down on the bench outside of the hospital. She took in a deep breath, trying to calm down. She didn't know why, but she felt scared and quite uneasy. It was really strange.
'Something is wrong. I can feel it,' Gwen thought.
The wind started to blow furiously, sending leaves scattering across the dampened pavement. It had never been like this in Autumn in Harmony. It wasn't normal. Then again, nothing in Harmony was ever normal.
A loud boom was heard in the distance, towards the south. Gwen turned around and looked at the sky. Huge gray storm clouds moved in out of no where. Gwen's eyes grew huge.
"It was sunny just a minute ago," Gwen said, mesmerized.
She quickly shook her head and ran back into the hospital.
She heard commotion down at the nurse's station and decided to see what was going on.
"Turn it to the weather channel! FAST!" one of the nurse's shouted.
The nurse turned it to the weather channel just in time.
"Hurricane Tammy has just made landfall, I repeat Hurricane Tammy has hit. It's moving at 175 mph towards the town of Harmony. Board up your houses and…" before the lady could finish the power went out. Everything went black.
Far off down the hallway, a scream could be heard. Many people raced around in the dark, shouting and panicking.
"Why hasn't the back-up generator come on?!" someone shouted.
"I have no idea. It should have turned on by now!" someone replied.
The nurses, already prepared with flashlights, clicked them on.
"We have to find Dr. Russell. Now," one said as they raced down the hallways to find the doctor.
Gwen shakily held on to the main desk.
A hurricane?! This can't be happening! Why does everything bad always have to happen at the wrong time?
She regained her composure and grabbed one of the candles that a nurse had put out, and walked down the hallway leading to Ethan's room.
\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~///
Ethan opened his eyes to see nothing but black. He immediately sat up, frightened.
"What's going on? Am I dead? Where am I? I want my mother!" he cried out like the sissy momma's boy he is. a/n: I just had to put this part in^_^ I've always thought that he acts like such a momma's boy
He heard the sound of heels clicking against the hospital floor.
I bet it's Theresa! I knew she cared about me! I bet she has come to make sure I'm okay and to tell me that I am the one she loves, not that arrogant playboy, Fox!
The delusional Ethan smiled to himself, thinking of Theresa.
He saw his room door open and the figure of the woman he knew all too well.
"I knew you'd come to see me! I knew it!" he exclaimed.
\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~///
Fox wondered around the hospital, now lit by many candles and gas lamps. The generator had still not come on.
"I can't believe that there's a hurricane. Can you Theresa?" he asked.
When Theresa didn't reply, he asked, "Theresa, why are you so quiet?"
He turned to where Theresa had been and noticed that she wasn't there.
"Theresa?!" he shouted. "Where are you?"
He went back the way he had come, hoping to find Theresa, instead he ended up bumping into someone.
"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you there," Fox said.
The man he had bumped into turned to face him.
"It's no problem. I should pay more attention to where I'm going," the man replied coolly. He walked off, not even giving Fox a second look.
"Geez, what's his problem?" Fox muttered and continued his search for Theresa.
\\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~////
Gwen walked down the seemingly long corridor in search of Ethan's room. It was hard to find anything with the light provided. Shadows danced along the walls as she walked further down. She was the only one in the hall way and not a sound could be heard, besides the clicking of her heels on the polished clean floor. She looked at the numbers on the doors until she reached the one that was Ethan's.
She put her hand on the knob, fixing to open the door, when she heard noises inside.
Who is in there with Ethan? she asked herself.
\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~///
"Theresa! I knew you'd come! I've missed you so much! I was so mad when I found out that you were with Fox. But I forgive you now. Atleast you wised up and figured out that I am the right one for you, and not my bastard of a half-brother!" he said.
"No Ethan, you're wrong. I'm here to tell you that I never want to see you again. I know that you didn't believe me when I told you earlier, so I'm telling you now, again. It's true, Ethan. I love Fox, and I love him with all of my heart. What you and I had wasn't love, Ethan. It never was. You led me on, playing me and Gwen. You toyed with both of our feelings. I'm glad I finally 'wised up' to you. I'm done. It's over, it's been over. Goodbye Ethan," she said, not waiting for him to say anything. She turned and left out the other door.
"NOOO!!! IT WILL NEVER BE OTHER!" Ethan shouted.
\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~///
"I can't believe," Gwen said. She had heard everything.
"Theresa was telling the truth all along, and I never believed her. I only believed what Ethan told me was true. I didn't open up my eyes and see what was in front of me. I can't believe I misjudged her."
Gwen could feel her anger towards Ethan rising.
"That's it! I've had it. I'm giving Ethan a piece of my mind!" she exclaimed and bust into his room.
\\\~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~///
Theresa walked down the silent hall, trying to figure out exactly where she was.
I probably should have told Fox instead of sneaking off like that. He's probably worried about me. I need to find him.
She picked up her pace and walked faster, not paying attention to what she was doing until it was too late. She ran smack dab into someone and fell to the hard ground.
"Ouch!" she exclaimed.
"Oh, are you okay?" the person asked.
Theresa nodded. "I am so sorry! I didn't mean to…"
But she was cut off by the person, "Theresa! I can't believe it's you! I've been waiting so long to see you!"
Theresa looked up, a little confused. She stared at the man that stood in front of her.
"Wait…oh my god, I can't believe it's you!" she replied, obviously glad to see this man.
"Oh it's me alright, and like I said, I've been waiting so very long to see you," he said, sweetly.
He pulled her up, and pressed his lips on hers, pulling her into a deep kiss.
