Miguel was the first one to see Kay after the accident. When he walked in the room he saw that Kay was sleeping peacefully. She had many bruises and bumps on her and bandages and casts over her body. He couldn't believe that he did this to her. He never wanted to hurt her intentionally. As he sat there beside her he was rethinking about marrying her.

"I don't know if we should be marrying." He told himself quietly. "I'm not good enough for her."

"What's that?" Kay asked as she awoke.

"Oh nothing." He told her.

"Miguel, do you not want to get married anymore?"

Theresa finally landed in St. Louis later that day. Never been there before she had no idea where to go.

"Let's see." She told herself. "Where can we spend the night or so?"

Theresa walked around the city that day just exploring it. But before she went looking for a hotel room she had to do one last thing.....ride the St. Louis Arch. She paid the fees for her and Little Ethan and they got in line to go on. She took a number from one of the women who was working that day and she was to sit with a couple that had just got married. They were very kind to both little Ethan and her.

"Hi, I'm Bob and this is my beautiful new wife Cindy, "he said holding out his hand to shake Theresa's hand.

"Hi!" Theresa said excitedly. "I'm...." she hestitated using her own name, "I'm Marie and this is my son Martin." She said taking Bob's hand.

"It's nice to meet you Marie," Cindy said. "You have a beautiful son, where's his daddy?"

"Oh I'm not married to him anymore."

"Oh I'm sorry to hear that." Cindy told her.

"I'm not." She gave a little laugh, "I mean I'm happy I'm not married to him anymore because he treated me awful. He was abusive."

"Oh honey, I'm sorry to hear that." She said.

"It's okay."

They talked a little more before boarding on the little elevator. The doors to the elevators got smaller and smaller. Luckily though Theresa, Little Ethan, Bob, and Cindy got the tallest door.

"That's different." Theresa told Bob and Cindy.

"Yes, but I think it's nice." Cindy said looking into Bob's eyes adoringly.

"So how was the wedding?" Theresa asked.

"Oh beautiful!" Cindy exclaimed. "It was something out of a fairy tale."

Theresa smiled kindly.

"Do you want to marry again, Marie?" Bob asked.

"I did....once." Theresa said as she starred at Little Ethan. "I've been married twice now and it just seems like I'll never find my prince charming."

"Don't worry, dear, you will." Cindy tried to keep Theresa's hopes up.

"Maybe, I will. I just don't think I can take another relationship like I had with Martin's father."

"What went worng with your first marriage? If you don't mind my asking."

"He was much older than me and we didn't see eye to eye on things. But you know...." she paused, "I really thought that my second marriage was going to be forever. I guess," she sighed restlessly, "I didn't even know Nicholas."

"Oh that's his name," Cindy said.

"Yes."

They didn't realize that they were already on top of the arch and about to be let out.

"Here we go!" Bob said enthusiastically.

"Marie, dear do you want to go back down with us?" Cindy asked.

"I'd love that."

"Good, we'll come and find you."

"Okay," Theresa said as she stepped out with Little Ethan in her hands.

She walked slowly to a window that was looking out over the city.

"Wow! It's breath taking." She told Little Ethan softly in his ear. "Everyone back home would love to be here."

Theresa stepped onto the little step by the window and closed her eyes and made a wish.

"I hope it comes true, " she said as tears fell gently upon her delicate cheeks.

Theresa took some pictures from up top, but before she knew it Cindy came up and asked if she was ready to go down.

"Yeah, I think so. Cindy, isn't it so beautiful from up here. You almost feel like your on top of the world." Theresa said earnestly.

"You almost do." Cindy said she put her arm around Theresa.

As they went down on the elevator Theresa asked them, "Do you believe in fate? That everything happens for a reason?"

"I do," Cindy spoke first. "Like you, Marie I was in an abusive realationship before I met Bob. And if I wasn't in that relationship I would've never found Bob. See one night, Jimmy, my ex boyfriend, threw me through our glass sliding door that led to the pattio. I was hospitalized like many other times, but this time there was a resident doctor taking care of me. His name was Bobby." Cindy pused to smile at Bob. "Do you see how we sometimes have to go through the bad times to be at a good place in our lives? Sometimes fate isn't all that great, but in the end it will be. Everyone deserves to be happy, Marie, yes even our ex's Fox and Jimmy."

They were now ready to get off and go their seprate ways.

"Cindy, Bob, you are both great people. I wish you both all the happiness in the world." Theresa smiled.

"Marie, how long do you plan on being in St. Louis?" Cindy asked.

"I...I don't know. Maybe forever." She grinned.

"Here's our number." Bob said handing her a little peice of paper. Why don't you and Martin come over our house tomorrow for a BBQ?"

"We'd love that and thank you for the invitation."

"Oh you're welcome!" Cindy said as she hugged Theresa goodbye. "Now make sure you call us tomorrow morning."

"I will," she said as she put the piece of paper in her pocket.

Back in New York, Fox had just broken into Theresa's room. he searched through her things for clues of where she was or where she was planning on going, but he found nothing.

"Damn stupid bitch!" He screamed as he threw things against the wall. "Just wait til I get my hands on you, Theresa. No, no," he calmed down suddenly. "Just wait til I get my hands on your pretty son." He laughed like the devil himself. "Now I have to find out where that skank planes on going. Wait a minute. Ethan's in New York, maybe she's with him."

Fox looked through his address book and found Ethan's address. He knocked on the door and saw that Ethan was having a romantic dinner with Ava.

"Fox, what are you doing here?" Ethan asked suspiciously.

Grace went to the hospital as soon as she could. She racied down the halls looking for Eve, but instead she stopped dead in her tracks as soon as she saw Sam and Ivy sharing a very romantic kiss.

"Grace?" Sam pulled away from Ivy and said.

"Hi Sam," she said kindly, "hi Ivy," she said bitterly.

"What are you doing here? He asked.

"Eve called me and told me that Kay was in a bad accident." Grace explained, "I need to see her and make sure she's okay."

"Then what? You're gonna go running back to David and John and abandon your kids again?" Sam laughed bitterly now.

"No..." Grace said slowly, "David isn't in my life anymore. Nor John. John was never my son. David confessed that he saw my one day while he was working on a photoshoot in Harmony and that he...he was going to marry me no matter what he did."

"What?!" Ivy was shocked. "That's absured!"

"I agree. Grace, what kind of bs are you trying to pull over my eyes now?"

"None, Sam. I'm not trying to get back with you. I know the kids hate me and that you are now engaged to Ivy. Trust me I won't try to break two people in love."

"That's funny!" Sam exclaimed. "You tried to keep us apart."

"Sam, not now." Grace said. "Don't start now. I only came to see how our children were doing."

"Oh Grace you're here!" Eve said excitedly. "Come and follow me. I'll take you to see Kay."

"Okay, thanks, Eve."

Eve showed Grace to Kay's room, but she enetered when Kay asked Miguel, "Miguel, do you not want to get married anymore?"

Grace closed the door, but Kay saw it was her so she called, "Mom!"

Grace went back in and gave her a huge hug.

"Oh Kay! I'm so sorry I haven't been a real mother."

"No, mom it's not you're fault. I was a rotten kid." Kay laughed along with Grace.

"I'll leave you two alone," Miguel said slipping out the door, but Kay saw him and said, "Miguel, don't go far. We have to talk."

Grace sat down beside Kay and couldn't believe that this person with all the bandages, bumps, and casts was her own daughter.

"Kay, what happened?"

"Miguel, was drinking and I went with him. I didn't know where we were going. I blacked out and the next thing I know I'm sitting here looking like a mommy."

"How are you feeling?"

"Sick to my stomach, but that's what goes along with a baby." Kay forgot that grace didn't know.

"What?" Grace asked.

"I'm pregnant, Mom."

"Oh you and Miguel must be so happy!" Grace exclaimed enthusiastically.

"Not really." Kay sadly said.

"What do you mean? A baby is a happy thing."

"I know it is, but Miguel's not the father."

"Kay! Did you.....?"

"No, mother. Remember when I was raped?"

"Oh dear God no!" Grace was shocked and horrified.

"That's exactly how I felt when I found out."

"Kay, honey, are you keeping the baby?"

"No, we are going to put it up for adoption."

"Well, I guess it's better than abortion."

"Yeah, I guess."

Eve knocked and entered, "Okay, Kay, needs her rest now."

"Okay, honey, I'm moving back to Harmony." Grace informed her.

"You are! Oh that's great. Now maybe we can get to know each other again." Kay said.

Grace smiled and left the room.

"That's great news!" Eve said. "Oh you must come to dinner tomorrow and celebrate your coming home."

"I don't think so, Eve."

"I won't take no for an answer." Eve said subbornly.

"Well alright, but just for dinner." Grace said as she left the hospital.

"That's all we need." Eve smiled to herself.

Miguel went back into Kay's room and sat beside her again.

"Miguel, don't you want to get married?"

"I do, I love you so much. That's why I think you'd be happier if you found someone else. I can't stand seeing you like this and all because of me."

"Miguel, I could care less if I had to deal with bandages, bumps, and casts. I just love you and I know that I want to spend the rest of my life with you. If you really love me you'll stay and spend the rest of your life with me."

"Oh Kay! I do love you! And I do want to spend the rest of my life with you."

"I know, " she said as she pulled him closer for a kiss.

Later on that day, Fox returned to Harmony to find that Theresa still had not returned. The first thing he did when he got back was bug Whitney's phone. He knew Theresa would call Whitney sometime that day or the next day. He was lucky though that she called that day.

"Whitney, I'm fine," was the first thing Theresa said to Whitney when she called her.

"Oh Thank God! I was so worried something would go wrong."

"You mean Fox finding out I'm in St. Louis?"

"Yeah. So where exactly are you in St. Louis? What hotel are you staying at?" Whitney inquiered.

"Well, I'm about ten minutes from downtown St. Louis. I'm staying at the Holiday Inn." She responded.

"How's Little Ethan?"

"Okay, I guess."

"You guess?"

"I mean he's fine, Whit."

"And how are you?"

"Scared to death what's gonna happen when Fox finds me. You know he's going to find me, Whit."

"Not as long as I can help it."

"You're such a great friend to me."

"So are you." Whitney said earnestly. "Did you guys do anything interesting today?" Whitney asked out of curiousity.

"Oh yeah!" Theresa exclaimed. "We went on the arch, we walked around, and we visited this mall that use to be a train station."

"That sounds like fun. How was the arch? Was it scary being up so high?"

"Not scary at all. It was so beautiful from uptop. You must visit it one day with Chad."

"Maybe we will."

"Well, I have to go. I need to feed Little Ethan and I still have to put him to bed."

"Alright. Do you have anything planned for tomorrow though?"

"Yeah, in matter of fact I met this nice couple and they invited Little Ethan and me to dinner tomorrow night."

"Oh cool. Well, I'll talk to you soon."

"Bye, Whit."

"Bye."

"Gotcha, Theresa!" Fox said after hearing the conversation.

Fox made arrangements for his quick trip for St. Louis. Not an half-hour after hearing Theresa and Whitney's conversation he was on the plane heading for St. Louis. He arrived at the hotel about 100 that night, but he didn't get to the hotel until about 10:30.

"Hi I have reservations for Fox Crane." He told the person at the front desk.

"Oh yes!" The man said. "How are you tonight, Mr. Crane?" He asked as he got Fox's room key.

"Great."

"Your room is right next to your wife's," the man informed him, "just as you wanted it."

"Thank you very much," Fox said as he slipped the man a 50 dollar bill.

"Night, Sir."

Fox made himself comfortable in his room before going to surprise Theresa. At 11:15 he went and knocked on Theresa's door.

"Coming!" She said cheerfully. She was rather happy without Fox. "Oh my God!" She exclaimed once she saw him.
