Chapter 14
Dr. Russell showed Theresa where she would be staying for the next 2 days.
"I know that this isn't that great a of room, but I hope you can satand it for 2 days." Eve said to Theresa.
"Don't worry. I'm not picky." Theresa said trying to smile, but failing miserably.
"Well, I'll let you get settled in, then will start your medication." Eve said heading for the door.
"Thanks."
Theresa hadn't packed too lightly. She brought some clothes to wear, so she wouldn't have to wear a hospital gown. She brought a few snacks in case she was hungry. She mad sure that hey either had no suger, or very little. She hid her snacks in a nightstand by her bed. Only a few things remained in her suit case. Tears fell as she picked up a picture of Ethan and Little Ethan.
"This," she said while drying her tears, "was the time that Ethan took us to see Santa at the mall. Little Ethan loved him so much. I really wish Little Ethan was Ethan's and not Julian's."
"Knock, knock!"
"Now who could that be? Maybe Dr. Russell." Theresa told herself.
She went to answer the door thinking that it was Dr. Russell. Instead she was flabergasted when she saw him standing there.
"May I come in?" Ethan asked.
"I uh..." She couldn't speak.
"I'll take that as a yes." He said walking into her room. "I couldn't stay at the mansion knowing that you and Pilar were sick. Your like my second family."
"Oh no!" Theresa said to herself. "He must think I'm really stupid. I mean, here I am standing still like a doll."
"Theresa, is something wrong? I mean do you want to talk?" He began to worry.
"No uh..." She tried to say something that wouldn't make her look like a 3 year old.
"I understand. Listen I brought you these." He said handing her a dozen roses and a little note.
"Ethan...I..uh..." Theresa tried to say thank you.
"I guess I'll be leaving. Please take care of yourself." Ethan said sounding very serious.
Theresa pushed everything aside that was making her act so strange and said, "Ethan, you make it seem like we are never going to see each other again."
"Oh I'm sorry." He apologized. "Mother and I have to talk to you when you get better. Okay?"
"Can't you tell me what it's about?" She said.
"Nope. You'll just have to wait and see." He said sounding proud because he knew something that she didn't.
"Ethan Cran...Ethan Winthrop! Someday when I know somehting you don't know, you'll be begging me to tell you. And you know what I'll say, Ethan?"
"I can only imagine." Ethan said putting Theresa's soft, delicate face in his hands.
Theresa knew that she was married now, and she had to honor Fox in every way. So maybe she could play a joke on Ethan. She moved Ethan's hands and said, "I'll say, 'Mr. Winthrop, I am not at liberty to discuss such information. Besides you didn't tell me something important long ago. So I guess your up @#%$'s creak without a paddle.' And do you know what I would do next, Ethan?" She asked sounding like wanted to make love to Ethan right there in the hospital.
"No." He said unbottoning the first two buttons on his shirt. "Is it just me or is it really getting hot in here?"
"I'm really hot, Ethan. Don't you think?"
"Yes...I mean I wouldn't know."
"Do you want to know? Do you want to explore?"
Ethan wanted tom scream out yes, but he knew he couldn't. Someone might hear them.
"NO! Yes! God, Theresa! Why are you doing this to me?"
She asked innocently, "Doing what? I'm an angel right?"
"No your the devil herself. Theresa, I want you so bad right now." He begged for her.
Theresa then realized that her joke was going too far. Ethan didn't realize it was a joke. She looked at herself quickly in the mirror and hated what she saw. She saw herself becoming a gold diggin whore like Rebecca.
"God, what am I doing?" she asked herself. "I'm becoming like her! I'm married and I have a wonderful husband who loves and care about me. I have to stop this. I know what I'll do. I'll press the nurses button."
There nurse was in the room in less than a minute.
"Is everything okay, Mrs. Crane?"
"I feel a bit dizzy." She lied.
"I'm sorry sir, but you'll have to leave."
"Okay. Bye Theresa."
As Ethan turned toward the door, he kept hearing the nurse refer to Theresa as "Mrs. Crane." Every time he heard that an icy chill would run up and down his spine.
"I have go somewhere to think!" He told himself.
"I have to go get Dr. Russell. t's about time to start your medication." Ther nurse informed Theresa.
"Thank you." Theresa said lying down on the bed.
As soon as the nurse let, Theresa looked out of the window and wondered what Fox was doing at the same exact moment. Dr. Eve was in pilar's room talking to Luis and Pilar.
"Well, Pilar I think you'll probably be able to leave before a weeks time." Eve told her.
"That's good news." Luis said holding Pilar's hand.
"Tell me Eve. How is Theresa?" Pilar asked.
"Well, I have to go start her on her medication now. I also have to check her blood sugar. Do you want me to let you know her blood sugar when I check it?"
"Yes, please."
"Well, I'll be back then." Eve said before she went to check on Theresa.
"Mama, I'm staying here." Luis said steernly.
"Luis, I'll be fine. I have Eve and the nurses to look after me. Please, go home and get some rest. it's already morning. Could you watch over Miguel for me?" She asked very concerned.
"Of course, Mama. I'll leave, not because I want to, but because it's what you want. I'll visit you tomorrow."
"Okay, Luis."
Luis hugged his mother and kissed her before he left. "I love you, Mama."
"I love you, Mijo."
Luis left Pilar alone and went home to Beth. Meanwhile at Kay's house.
"Miguel, wake up!" Kya whispered in Miguel's ear.
"Huh?" Luis said still sleeping.
"Miguel, it's morning. If my dad finds you in here, he'll kill you. Go home and get ready for school!" she commanded him.
"Oh my God! It's 7 0!" Miguel said as he began to understand what was going on.
"Leave, Miguel." Kay said pushing him out her window.
"Bye, Kay. I love you." Miguel kissed her and left then.
Kay left for school at 8:00. School began in a half hour. Se saw that Miguel was waiting for her by her locker.
"Hey sweetie." Kay said before kissing him.
"Hi. Listen do you want to do something after school?"
"Oh! I would love to, but I have to go see Ivy after school."
"Ivy?" Miguel said confused.
"Yeah. We're good friends."
"Since when, Kay?"
"Miguel, stop it. You starting to sound like my dad."
"Sorry. I just don't hear you say that ever."
"I know what we can do."
"What?" He asking taking her hands.
"You can pick me up at the mansion, then we can spend the rest of the day together. Sound good?"
"Beautiful."
Miguel and Kay left for spanish class. The day flew by so fast. At the end of the day, Miguel ran to Kay's locker hoping that he could ask her something before she left.
"Kay!" He screamed from the opposite end of the hall from where Kay's locker was.
"Miguel?" She asked herself.
"Kay!" He screamed coming closer to her locker.
"What?"
"I want to know if I could give you a ride to the mansion because I have to talk to Ethan?"
"That would be nice." She said to him as they were now standing face to face.
"Okay. Let's go."
Miguel and Kay got into the car.
"You mind if I play some music?" Kay asked.
"As long as it isn't something I hate."
"Trust me. It's not. I got this new cd."

Song ends:
"I love that song." Kay said.
"Yeah. It's pretty cool." Miguel agreed.
"Well here we are." Kay said opening her door.
"Yeah." Miguel said getting out.
"Why do you have to talk to Ethan?"
"No reason, Kay."
"Okay."
"Knock, knock!"
"I'll get it, mother!" He shouted while running to the door. "Miguel, Kay!"
"Hi, Ethan." They both said.
"I have to talk to you." Miguel said.
"And I have to talk to your mom."
"What?" Miguel and Ethan asked turning toward Kay.
"I need to speak to Ivy." She corrected herself for them.
"Oh okay. Mother, it's Kay."
"I'll be there in a minute, dear." She shouted from up stairs.
"Miguel, let's go outside and talk." Ethan suggested.
"Fine with me."
Ethan and Miguel walked outside as Ivy came down the stairs.
"So what's the surprise, Mom?" Kay asked.
"Read this!" Ivy passed Kay a note.
Kay's eyes lit up.
"I can't accept this, mom." Kay said giving back the note.
"Oh nonsense!" Ivy said handing the note back to Kay.
Dr. Russell showed Theresa where she would be staying for the next 2 days.
