The paramedics rushed Theresa's lifeless body to the hospital. Fox didn't tell anyone what happened to Theresa, but Ethan found out and he informed her family. Fox was surprised to see her family and friends waiting for to see how she was.
"What happened to her?" Luis asked knowing what happened.
"She fell out of the window," he lied through his teeth.
Luis grabbed Fox by his coat and pushed him against a wall, "You lying son of a bitch! You did this to her! I know you did!"
Fox removed Luis' hands and smiled, "I didn't do a thing. She fell out the window when she lost her balance. That's what happened."
"Liar! You hit her!" Ethan yelled as he ran and stood beside his Uncle Luis.
"I never hit her," Fox said staring at him.
"Why is he?" Ethan asked as he arrived. He looked around and saw Fox. He approached him very cooly, "Fox, how did Theresa fall?"
"She lost her balance."
"Liar!" Ethan said punching him in his face.
Two securtiy gaurds came and put handcuffs on Ethan, but Fox said that that wasn't necessary because he wasn't going to press any charges.
"We'll ask Theresa and see what happened," Luis tolds Ethan.
Eve came out of the cubical with a worried look on her face.
"Is she okay?" Luis asked.
"Yes, she'll be fine once she recovers. She broke 5 ribs, her left leg, and her right wrist, but that's not the worst."
"What do you mean not the worst?" Ethan asked.
"Theresa suffered another miscarriage. I'm afraid Theresa won't be able to have anymore children."
"You bastard!" Luis shouted as he punched him.
"Luis stop!" Eve shouted. "It wasn't Fox's fault."
"What!?"
"Theresa lost her balance because she was pregnant. She fainted as she fell. Fox couldn't have caused her to fall out of that window."
"Eve, are you sure?" Ethan asked.
"Dr. Russell, I know she didn't just fall." Ethan said.
"It's true. Fox didn't do anything wrong. Now, if you'll excuse me I have some work to do."
Ethan approached Fox, "You may think you've won now, but you haven't. Just wait."
"Ooh I'm shaking in my boots," he laughed.
"Hey!" Luis said butting in, "my sister's life is no joke, you sick bastard!"
"Excuse me, I want to see [i]my[/i] wife."
"Over my dead body," Luis said very protectively.
"That can be arranged," Fox said passing Luis and Ethan to go to Theresa.
Theresa laid unconscience. Fox sat beside her talking to her, but Theresa didn't know he was even there. It's a good thing she didn't know he was there though. As she began to open her eyes she thought she saw Ethan, but as her sight became more clear she jumped when she saw him.
"Hello Theresa," he said in a voice that creeped her a bit.
"What are you doing here?" She asked as she tried to move. She couldn't though, he body was too soar.
"I'm your husband."
"No, not anymore. I want a divorce, Fox. Give me something good for once, a divorce."
"No, I can't do that. Now, I need you to be good and tell everyone that you lost your balance. Tell them that I had nothing to do with your fall."
"You want me to lie for you?"
He nodded his head.
"Get out of here! Now!" She shouted. "Before I call security!"
Fox walked out of the room knowing that she would cover for him somehow. Ethan came in once he saw Fox leave. He smiled at Theresa and sat beside her.
"How are you doing?"
"I'm soar, but I feel good. I told Fox that I wanted a divorce."
"What did he say?"
"Basically that he'll fight me on this, but he won't win when you're my lawyer," she smiled.
"Theresa, did Ethan push you out the window?"
Theresa thought for a moment before saying, "No, I lost my balance. I'm not sure why, but I did."
"Are you sure that he didn't push you?"
"Ethan, I'm positive. He may have hit me, but he didn't try to kill me."
Eve came in at that moment.
"Theresa, I'm glad to see you are awake. We need to talk about why you lost your balance."
"Why did I?"
"You were pregnant."
"Were? I don't understand."
"Theresa, you suffered a miscarriage when you fell."
"Not another one!" She cried into Ethan's arms. "How many more!?"
"No more, Theresa. I'm so sorry to tell you this, but you can't have anymore children."
"No!" She cried. "This can't be happening! No!"
"I'm so sorry," Eve said walking out.
"That's it," Theresa said as she dried her tears, "He's [i]never[/i] going to hurt me again, Ethan, [i]never[/i]."
It took Theresa a few months to heal fully from all her surgeries. Even after that she had months of therapy to go through. Around the time that she would have given birth, she was finally able to walk again.
"Ethan, thank you," she said as she slowly walked towards him.
"Why?"
"Because without you behind me all the time supporting me I wouldn't have had enough strength to recover. You and my son have helped me a great deal. Thank you," she said as she kissed him.
"Theresa, I'm going to get your divorce final soon. I promise that he won't ever be able to hurt you again."
Theresa smiled, "I just pray that tomorrow when I'm released he won't be around. I hope that he won't try to contact me either."
"He won't. I'll make sure of that."
Ethan drove Theresa to Luis', where she would be staying for a while. He helped her inside and up the stairs to her room.
"Are you sure you'll be safe here?" He asked as he helped her sit down.
"Ethan, I'll be fine. I'm with my family, besides I took those self-defense classes while I was recovering. I'm wiser now and I'm staying away from Fox."
Ethan kissed Theresa's forehead as he stood up, "Well, I'm going to go home. I'm waiting on the results from your mother's autopsy."
Theresa nodded her head, "I wish we would've done the autopsy sooner. Maybe he'd be behind bars right now instead of God who knows where."
"Don't worry, he will be."
Once Ethan left, Theresa heard a faint little knock on her door.
"Come in!"
In walked Ethan with a bouqet of yellow roses, "I hope you feel better, mom."
Tears welled up in both of their eyes as they hugged for the first time in months. Ethan was kept from his mother because she had been in the ICU for quite sometime. He was too young to be let in their so he had been left with memories of her as she struggled to recover.
"You know," she said as the tears kept coming, "the whole time that I was in the hospital, I kept thinking about this moment. About the first time I would be able to hold you in my arms again. It was one of the things that kept me going. I needed my son and he needed me."
"Are you disappointed?"
"No, this moment is everything I dreamed, but just so real. I love you and thank you. You saved my life by telling Ethan what Fox was doing." Tears chocked her up a bit as she said, "I'm so sorry I said that Fox deserved to hit you. I wasn't in my right mind, and I'm so sorry. I hope you can forgive me."
"I already have," he said holding his mom tighter.
"Are you two going to be okay while we go out?" Luis asked his sister and nephew.
"We'll be fine," Theresa smiled as she wrapped her arms lovingly around her son. "You just take your family out for a good time."
"I will," he kissed his sister's cheek as he grabbed his coat. "Give me a call if you need anything at all."
"I will, now go!" She smiled.
Once Luis and Beth left Theresa asked her son, "So do you want some popcorn for the movie?"
"Yeah!" He said excitedly. "I'll go make it. You can start the movie."
"Okay," she smiled.
[i]It feels good to be home with my son[/i]
As they began watching It, it began to storm outside.
"You aren't afraid to watch the movie?" Theresa asked her son.
"No, are you?"
"No," she smiled.
Half way through the movie Ethan fell asleep in Theresa's arms. Theresa heard a loud knock at the door, then she heard him.
"Open up, Theresa!" He shouted. "Open the damn door!"
"Ethan! Ethan!" She whispered as she shook him gently. "Get up, come on, honey."
"What's going on?" He asked as he started to wake up.
"Fox is outside. I think he's drunk. Hurry up let's go upstairs," she said as they quietly rushed up the stairs.
Theresa pushed a dresser and the bed along the door so Fox couldn't get in if he broke in, which he did. Theresa and Ethan grew frightened as they heard his footsteps come closer.
Lifting up the window Theresa said, "Go outside and find Ethan. Tell him to come her fast. Tell him Fox is here and he broke in. Hurry!" She whispered as she helped him out and made sure he was okay.
Ethan was sitting at his desk anxiously waited for a document to be faxed to him.
"Come on!" He told himself. "This is life or death."
"Ethan!" Ethan said running in.
"What's wrong?"
"Fox broke in. Mom's upstairs all by herself."
"What!? That bastard! I'll kill him!"
"Hurry! There's no telling what he'll do."
Just then the document Ethan was waiting on came.
"I knew it!" Ethan smiled.
"What does it say?"
"Fox killed your grandmother along with Audrey."
"Okay explain later, save mom now."
"Theresa, open the door. I just want to talk."
[i]He doesn't want to talk, he wants to hurt you[/i]
"Listen, Theresa, I love you still."
[i]He doesn't know what love is[/i]
"Please, baby, open the door."
[i]So he can hit me? No[/i]
"Open the fucking door now!" He shouted.
[i]Anger is rising[/i]
"Don't make me break this door down!"
[i]He'll do it anyway[/i]
"Fine!"
[i]I'm ready[/i]
A gun was fired and Theresa jumped. She opened her eyes to see that Fox had shot the door open.
"Hello Theresa," he said with a crazy look in his eye as he continued to kick the door wider.
Theresa tried pushing more thing in front of the door, but it was no use. Fox had made his way inside. He covered the door back up and turned his attention back to a terrified Theresa. She stood still looking straight into his eyes.
"What no hug?"
"Go to hell!"
"I see," he said as he started coming towards her. With every step he took forward, Theresa took a step back.
"What? Afraid of your ex-husband?"
"No, I'm not."
"Really? Then why are you moving back, dear?"
"Because your crazy."
"Yeah, maybe so."
"I know you killed them," she said.
"Killed who, Theresa?"
"That woman and mama. I know because that woman warned me of you. I thought she was a crazy ex at the time, but I see you were the one that was always crazy."
"I'm surprised in you, Theresa, and I must say even a little disappointed. You can't even trust me."
"I did trust you, once, but that's in the past, along with my love for you."
Fox stepped closer, now barely inches away from her. Fox could feel her heavy breathing and it gave him a sense of power.
"Do you get some sick pleasure out of hurting people? Killing people?"
"I guess you might call it that, Theresa. I honestly loved you at first, but you drove me to jealousy. You and Ethan did. It's all your fault you stupid bitch!" He shouted as he grabbed her.
"Let go!" She said kicking him between his legs causing him to fall to the ground.
"Ha! You think your strong? How cute!" He got back up and pressed her arms against the wall and laid his backside into her. "Now what are you going to do?" Fox pulled out something of his pocket, but Theresa couldn't see it. Fox hit Theresa and she blacked out. She woke up with her face bleeding something terrible. She was handcuffed to the bed and and Fox was on top of her raping her. She tried to scream for help, but her mouth was stuffed with a sock.
"Welcome back," he said as he got off of her and started putting his clothes back on.
"Ahhh!" She screamed as she saw Fox pull out a gun.
"Say hello to an old friend of mine. He was my friend who helped me kill that woman that you found dead in the mansion. Her name was Audrey, an old friend of mine. I went out with her and her mouth became too big so I had to shut her up once and for all," he said as he stroked the gun like a pet.
Theresa finally spit the sock out, "You're sick!"
"That's what my doctor use to say to me as a child and a teenager, but once I killed him he shut up."
"Why do you kill so many innocent people?" She asked as she began to cry.
"Well, if I told you I would have to kill you," he laughed, "but then again I am going to kill you so I don't think it matter's much. See I think it all began as a child. I was sent to so many different schools as you know, so for fun and excitement some friends and I use to kill animals. Birds, frogs, rabbits-that's how it started. Soon we grew tired and I became more angry towards my family. So we started killing things like dogs, cats, once we stole a monkey from school and we burnt it in a fire."
Theresa listened as she grew frightened of the stranger before her.
"Then one day we found a drunk bum that had passed out."
"Oh God no!"
"Yes," he smiled as he went on enjoying himself very much, "we hit him over his head with a baseball and dragged him into an old abandoned building. We poured gas all over and I lit a match and dropped it. We ran out of there, but watched from outside. As the fire grew around the bum, he woke up realizing that there was no way out. We tied him up, making it impossible for him to escape. They fire eventually caught him on fire and killed him. No one ever knew who did it."
"Why, Fox?"
"Because I hate every human being on Earth..."
"Besides yourself," she finished.
"Yes, exactly."
"You are truly sick and twisted."
"Thank you," he smiled as he began to uncuff her.
"Your...your letting me go?"
"Why would I do a stupid thing like that? So you could tell everyone my dirty little secrets? No, I'm sorry."
Fox pulled Theresa onto the floor, "Get on your knees and tell me three reasons why I should let you live."
"No."
Fox kicked her causing her to fall to her knees.
"Now begin."
"I love my son with my whole heart. I'm his mother and he needs me."
"That's two. One more and so far I'm not buying it."
Theresa thought for a minute and finally said, "Because you still love me deep down. You can't hurt someone you really love."
"I don't love you!" He laughed. "You've had your three chances and now it's time to go. Do you have any finally words?" He said as he checked to make sure that there were bullets still in there.
She nodded her head, "I love my son. I love him so much and I thought I loved you, but I guess I never knew you."
Theresa closed her eyes and waited for the bullet to hit her. She heard the gun fire 3 times and felt a stinging pain in her shoulder. She looked and saw that she was still alive. Only one bullet hit her, the other 2 hit Fox.
"Oh Ethan!" She exclaimed as she ran into his arms. "Thank you!"
Fox laid dead on the floor.
"Fox killed your mother and that woman was..."
"Audrey. He told me all about her, Ethan."
"Mom, is it over now?" Ethan asked as he came in through the window.
"Yes, baby. It's over," she said as she wrapped her arms around him and kissed her.
Theresa laid on the strecher as she watched Fox's body being put into a body bag.
"Theresa!" A familar voice shouted.
"Fox?" She said very confused. "You're dead! You're suppose to be dead!" She cried.
"No," he said wrapping his arms around her. "Theresa, I was kidnapped after Audrey was killed."
"What?" She asked as she looked over to see that the man she thought was Fox was dead. "If your not him, whose he?"
Fox pulled a mask off the man, "Dylan Banning, an old friend of mine. He kidapped me Theresa. I never hurt you. I love you."
"I'm so confused."
Fox laughed, "I'm so sorry, Resa."
[i]Resa? Dylan had never called me Resa like Fox use to[/i]
"It is you!" She smiled. "Oh Fox!" She said as she kissed him.
"Ethan," Fox said turning to him, "thank you for looking out for Theresa while I was gone."
"No problem, Fox. I hope you two can be happy now."
"Thank you for helping me, Ethan. I'll never forget what you've done for me or for Ethan." Theresa turned to Fox, "Wait," she tried pulling at his face to make sure he was real. "Yep, just as I suspected, the real thing," she laughed.

"What happened to her?" Luis asked knowing what happened.
"She fell out of the window," he lied through his teeth.
Luis grabbed Fox by his coat and pushed him against a wall, "You lying son of a bitch! You did this to her! I know you did!"
Fox removed Luis' hands and smiled, "I didn't do a thing. She fell out the window when she lost her balance. That's what happened."
"Liar! You hit her!" Ethan yelled as he ran and stood beside his Uncle Luis.
"I never hit her," Fox said staring at him.
"Why is he?" Ethan asked as he arrived. He looked around and saw Fox. He approached him very cooly, "Fox, how did Theresa fall?"
"She lost her balance."
"Liar!" Ethan said punching him in his face.
Two securtiy gaurds came and put handcuffs on Ethan, but Fox said that that wasn't necessary because he wasn't going to press any charges.
"We'll ask Theresa and see what happened," Luis tolds Ethan.
Eve came out of the cubical with a worried look on her face.
"Is she okay?" Luis asked.
"Yes, she'll be fine once she recovers. She broke 5 ribs, her left leg, and her right wrist, but that's not the worst."
"What do you mean not the worst?" Ethan asked.
"Theresa suffered another miscarriage. I'm afraid Theresa won't be able to have anymore children."
"You bastard!" Luis shouted as he punched him.
"Luis stop!" Eve shouted. "It wasn't Fox's fault."
"What!?"
"Theresa lost her balance because she was pregnant. She fainted as she fell. Fox couldn't have caused her to fall out of that window."
"Eve, are you sure?" Ethan asked.
"Dr. Russell, I know she didn't just fall." Ethan said.
"It's true. Fox didn't do anything wrong. Now, if you'll excuse me I have some work to do."
Ethan approached Fox, "You may think you've won now, but you haven't. Just wait."
"Ooh I'm shaking in my boots," he laughed.
"Hey!" Luis said butting in, "my sister's life is no joke, you sick bastard!"
"Excuse me, I want to see [i]my[/i] wife."
"Over my dead body," Luis said very protectively.

"Are you sure that he didn't push you?"
"Ethan, I'm positive. He may have hit me, but he didn't try to kill me."
Eve came in at that moment.
"Theresa, I'm glad to see you are awake. We need to talk about why you lost your balance."
"Why did I?"
"You were pregnant."
"Were? I don't understand."
"Theresa, you suffered a miscarriage when you fell."
"Not another one!" She cried into Ethan's arms. "How many more!?"

Theresa listened as she grew frightened of the stranger before her.
"Then one day we found a drunk bum that had passed out."
"Oh God no!"
"Yes," he smiled as he went on enjoying himself very much, "we hit him over his head with a baseball and dragged him into an old abandoned building. We poured gas all over and I lit a match and dropped it. We ran out of there, but watched from outside. As the fire grew around the bum, he woke up realizing that there was no way out. We tied him up, making it impossible for him to escape. They fire eventually caught him on fire and killed him. No one ever knew who did it."
"Why, Fox?"
"Because I hate every human being on Earth..."
"Besides yourself," she finished.
"Yes, exactly."
"You are truly sick and twisted."
"Thank you," he smiled as he began to uncuff her.
"Your...your letting me go?"
"Why would I do a stupid thing like that? So you could tell everyone my dirty little secrets? No, I'm sorry."
Fox pulled Theresa onto the floor, "Get on your knees and tell me three reasons why I should let you live."
"No."
Fox kicked her causing her to fall to her knees.
"Now begin."
"I love my son with my whole heart. I'm his mother and he needs me."
"That's two. One more and so far I'm not buying it."
Theresa thought for a minute and finally said, "Because you still love me deep down. You can't hurt someone you really love."
"I don't love you!" He laughed. "You've had your three chances and now it's time to go. Do you have any finally words?" He said as he checked to make sure that there were bullets still in there.
She nodded her head, "I love my son. I love him so much and I thought I loved you, but I guess I never knew you."
Theresa closed her eyes and waited for the bullet to hit her. She heard the gun fire 3 times and felt a stinging pain in her shoulder. She looked and saw that she was still alive. Only one bullet hit her, the other 2 hit Fox.
"Oh Ethan!" She exclaimed as she ran into his arms. "Thank you!"
Fox laid dead on the floor.
"Fox killed your mother and that woman was..."
"Audrey. He told me all about her, Ethan."
"Mom, is it over now?" Ethan asked as he came in through the window.
"Yes, baby. It's over," she said as she wrapped her arms around him and kissed her.
Theresa laid on the strecher as she watched Fox's body being put into a body bag.
"Theresa!" A familar voice shouted.
"Fox?" She said very confused. "You're dead! You're suppose to be dead!" She cried.
"No," he said wrapping his arms around her. "Theresa, I was kidnapped after Audrey was killed."
"What?" She asked as she looked over to see that the man she thought was Fox was dead. "If your not him, whose he?"
Fox pulled a mask off the man, "Dylan Banning, an old friend of mine. He kidapped me Theresa. I never hurt you. I love you."
"I'm so confused."
Fox laughed, "I'm so sorry, Resa."
[i]Resa? Dylan had never called me Resa like Fox use to[/i]
"It is you!" She smiled. "Oh Fox!" She said as she kissed him.
"Ethan," Fox said turning to him, "thank you for looking out for Theresa while I was gone."
"No problem, Fox. I hope you two can be happy now."
"Thank you for helping me, Ethan. I'll never forget what you've done for me or for Ethan." Theresa turned to Fox, "Wait," she tried pulling at his face to make sure he was real. "Yep, just as I suspected, the real thing," she laughed.
