Chapter 13

Theresa and Luis walked of Theresa's room only to see Pilar being wheeled down the stairs.

"Mama! What happened? Somebody tell me what happened!" Theresa demanded to know

"You mom has a weak pulse." Ethan informed her. "She fainted we think. Eve came into her room after hearing her call for her."

"Theresa, get your things. We're going to the hospital now. I don't want you getting any worse." Luis told her.

"Okay. I'll meet you in the car." She told him.

"Theresa, do you want me to carry your things to the car?" He asked politely.

"Yes. Thanks. I have to go tell Fox." She said absently.

Theresa went downstairs to look for Fox. she found him on the phone in Julian's study.

"Fox, what are you doing?" She asked wondering.

"I had to make this business call. I'm sorry. I know it's a bad time, but it's important."

"I forgive you." She said again absently. "Listen Mama is going to the hospital in an ambulance. And Luis is taking me now. I want you to take care of Little Ethan tonight. Don't come to the hospital. Come tomorrow with little Ethan."

"Are you sure?" He asked with a confused look on his face.

"Positive! I'll want company by tomorrow. I'm sorry, honey." Theresa said as she moved toward Fox and kissed him softly.

"It's not your fault. I'm just happy that your going to be okay."

"Me too." She said. "I must go now." She said as she was running out of the mansion.

Ethan had packed her things in the car. He then went to his own car and started it up.

"I have to be there for Theresa. Not as a lover, but as a friend. Also Pilar is in trouble. I'm sure she could use my prayers." Ethan said as he skidded away in his car.

Fox was sitting in Little Ethan's nursery making sure that he was okay.

"God, I have never really asked you for anything. I guess that's because I never talk to you, but anyways please watch over Pilar. She's a good woman. And take care of Theresa. I do love her." Fox prayed while staring up at the ceiling.

Eve was standing in the waiting room. She was waiting for Theresa and Luis to arrive to tell them the news.

Meanwhile Ivy was making a phone call in her room.

"Ryan, hi it's Ivy."

"Oh hi Ivy." He said a little shock. "Do you need to know where Fox is cuzz...."

"I know where he is." Ivy said cutting him off. "He's home. I need you help. Or could you recommend someone to me."

"Ivy, listen I don't know any older guys who are single." He said frankly.

"No! I don't need that. I need a favor."

"I'm listening."

"I need you to get rid of someone for me."

"Kill?"

"Not exactly. Maybe scare the life out of her. You see my friend's daughter..."

"Sam's daughter." He corrected her.

"How did...never mind. Yes. Sam's daughter is engaged to Fox's wife's brother, Miguel. Kay, Sam's daughter is worried because this one girl who broke her and her fiancee up before is living in Harmony, and now she doesn't want that to happen again. you understand?" Ivy asked out of breath.

"Yes. Well, tell me her name and I'll take care of it, Ivy. When do you want this done by?" He asked looking over his schedule book.

"ASAP!" She said excitedly.

"I can do it tomorrow at 5:30 p.m."

"That's great!" She said even more excitedly. "Her name is Charity Standish."

"Okay. I'll tell you how it went. Bye."

"Wait! What exactly are you going to do?" She asked suspiciously.

"Scare her like you said."

"Don't lay a finger on her though."

"I won't. Chow!" He said as he hung up the phone fast.

"Maybe I should tell Kay." Ivy said to herself after she had hung up. "I'll call her."

She dialed the number. That number was planted into her head.

"Hello." Sam said answering the phone.

"Hello, Sam." Ivy said shocking Sam.

"Ivy?"

"Yes. It's me."

"Is something wrong?" He asked becoming concerned.

"Nothing. I'm calling for Kay."

"Kay?" Sam asked confusedly.

"Yes your daughter."

"I know. I'll go get her." Sam placed Ivy on hold so he could go get Kay.

"Knock, knock!"

"Kay, honey. It's the phone."

"Who is it, daddy."

"Ivy." He said still confused.

"Okay."

Kay walked out to go down and answer the phone.

"Kay, why is Ivy calling for you."

"No reason. We're good friends."

"Good friends." He said to himself softly. "Since when?" he asked rather loud.

"Don't worry, daddy." She said trying to calm him down.

Ivy was able to hear Sam's anger through the phone. When ever she heard him speak to her it made Ivy feel like something was in her. He was like a drug for her. Stronger than any illegal substance that Ivy and him had ever experimented with in the 60's and 70's.

Kay picked up the phone to talk to her new friend.

"Hi, Ivy."

"Hi, Kay. How are you?"

"I'm fine you?"

"Better now. Listen I've taken care of that Charity b*cth!"

"You did?" She asked in a enthusiastic tone.

"Yes. It will all be over tomorrow at 5:30 p.m. tomorrow."

"I don't even know how to thank you?"

"Kay, don't worry about it. I just hope that we can be friends."

"Of course we can. I can never thank you enough for what you've done!"

Sam had been listening to what Kay said to Ivy. He wondered what Ivy did for Kay. A worried look appeared on his face. He still loved Ivy, but he didn't know her to be that nice to a lot of people. Why Kay? And why was Kay acting like Ivy was her mother and not Grace?

"Listen, Ivy. I have to go to do homework, but I'll be over tomorrow after school."

"Okay. Good cause I have a big surprise for you!"

"Okay and thanks for everything."

"You know Kay I wish I had a daughter like you. Your mother should be proud to have you as her own."

"That's the thing. She's not."

"Well, if you want, this is just a suggestion. If you'll let me consider you my own daughter, you can consider me a second mother."

"Ivy, that sounds great."

"I love you, Kay."

"I love you, mom!"

"Bye, dear."

"Bye, bye."

Before Kay could hang up the phone Sam began an interrogation.

"Why is Ivy calling you?"

"We're friends......"

"I don't care, Kay, but why are you calling her mom?"

"Because she acts like more of a mother to me."

"I know she might, Kay, but Grace gave birth to you. You're her daughter." He said becoming angry.

"Then maybe she should act like it. Daddy, I'm lucky to have a great dad like you. Mom, I mean Grace doesn't seem to care about me. Admit it!"

"Okay. I admit it. But Kay still call her mom. She has a right to it."

"If you want me to, daddy?"

"I do."

"Okay then. Good night, daddy."

"Good night sweetie."

Sam kissed his daughter on her cheek. Kay ran off into her room. She was so happy. Now she didn't have to worry about anyone coming between Miguel and her.

"Knock, knock!"

It wasn't the door. This time it was the window. Someone was throwing little rocks.

"Kay!" Miguel said in a screaming whisper.

"Miguel?" She asked confusedly. "What do you need?"

"To talk to someone. I'm so worried about Mama and Theresa."

"Come on up."

Miguel climbed up to Kay's window. He went to sit down on her bed.

"So what do you want to talk about?" She asked trying to sound cheerful.

"Kay, just hold me. Please I need you tonight."

"Miguel do you want to.." Kay tried to say.

"make love?" He finished for her.

"Yeah."

"I would rather wait until we're married. That way we know that it will be the first for both of us."

"Yeah. That would be special." Kay said daydreaming about their first time.

"Let's just sit here." He said shaking.

"Miguel, talk to me. Tell me your fears. Tell me your hopes."

"Kay, just kiss me!"

"Okay." She tried to say, but was unsuccessful because Miguel's lips were pressed against her own.

Meanwhile at the hospital, Theresa and Luis arrive.

"How is she, Eve?" Luis asked nervously.

"Well, we were able to stabilize her. She's in the room. Theresa you may go speak to her before your admitted."

"Okay. Luis, stay here."

Luis nodded his head and took a seat. There were a few things he wanted to ask Dr. Russell.

"Oh Mama!" She said as she entered her mother's room.

"Mija. I want you to know that I'm okay. Your father always said that things will be okay. And I believe that things will be okay."

"I just came to see how you were before I get admitted." She told her mother."

"Are you okay, Theresa?" Her, mother asked her.

"I will be."

"You are strong. You'll get past this."

"I love you, Mama."

"I love you, Mija." tits

"Get some rest." Theresa said before she left.

Theresa walked up to Dr. Russell.

"Let's get this over with" Theresa said trying to smile.

"Okay. Well, I'll take you to your room and get you started on some insulin called humalog. You'll take that every time you eat a meal. And you'll take listbro before you got to bed."

"I have to do this everyday?" Theresa asked trying to understand her new life.

"Yes. Hopefully soon we can get the shots down to where you only have to take 1 once a day."

"Yes. Let's hope."
