While Ethan was trying to find a recipe he could possible make he heard Theresa scream.
"Help me Ethan!" She yelled.
Ethan ran up to her room.
"Ethan, I think I'm having the baby now."
"Right now?"Being a little confused Ethan asked.
"Yes!" Theresa screamed in pain.
"Okay, calm down. Remember to breath. That's the most important thing." Ethan informed her.
"O...okay." Theresa tried to breathe slowly.
Once the contraction passed, Theresa began to complain that she felt very weak and dizzy.
"I'll go send for the doctor." Ethan told her.
Ethan was worried that Theresa may not survive long enough to give birth. From what he knew, he thought that unless a doctor got to Theresa soon, she'd be gone. Ethan soon returned to Theresa's side again.
"Oh please tell me that my baby will live." Theresa pleaded with Ethan.
"The baby will live." Ethan told her. "But you may not." He thought.
"Where....where is the doctor?" Theresa asked weakly.
Ethan put his head down and said, "He's out of town for a convention."
"Wh...what am I going to do?!" Theresa cried.
"I've never done it before, but I'll deliver your baby." He informed her.
By now Theresa didn't care who would deliver her baby, just as long as someone would. Theresa was getting worse with each contraction and Ethan knew it.
"How much longer will you last?" Ethan thought to himself.
Within 25 minutes, Ethan was able to see the baby's head.
"Okay Theresa, just push really hard. I know you can do it." Ethan tried to encourage her.
Theresa was screaming like crazy. People who passed by the house could hear her screams. They thought that it sounded like someone was being murdered, but they had heard by word that Theresa was about to have her baby so they didn't worry much.
"Damn you Fox!" She screamed. "I hate you! I hate you!"
"That's good, Theresa. Just one more push. I know you can do it. Come on, Theresa."
Theresa gave one final push and out came Fox and Theresa's little girl. Ethan wrapped Theresa's daughter in a towel and just as he was going to let Theresa hold her, Theresa passed out.
"Theresa, you can't let go!" Ethan began to panic.
Ethan laid the baby down and felt to see if Theresa had a pulse. Indeed she did, but it was very weak. Ethan did everything he could to keep Theresa breathing until the doctor from the next town over arrived. Little did Ethan know that the doctor from the next town over couldn't make it over just then, but he would come the next day.
Poor Ethan had no sleep at all that night with watching Theresa and Theresa's daughter. Theresa drifted in and out and in of life that night. She was a very lucky woman to be still alive in the morning the doctor had told Ethan.
"You did a great job here, young man." The doctor said.
"Well, thank you. I just don't know what I'd do if I had let Theresa die." Ethan said, but he couldn't imagine Theresa not being alive. Not only would he have let Fox and Theresa's daughter down, but he would have let himself down.
Ethan was finally able to get some rest later that day when a nurse came over for Theresa and her baby. While relaxing in his bed Ethan thought deeply about his feelings for Theresa. He knew well that Theresa was Fox's wife and that he would only bring pain to them if anyone knew he had feelings for her, but how could he go on pretending not to love her?
"Maybe....." Ethan sighed, "I don't know. Maybe one day Theresa and I will be together. Fate will bring us together in the end. I just know it."
Pilar wasn't surprised to see Fox asleep beside Theresa's bed the next day when she walked in. But what did surprise her was the letter that Fox held in his hand. Pilar knew very well that it was wrong to go and read other people's letters, but she was interested in knowing what this letter contained. So she decided to take a looksie. It said.....
Dearest Fox,
I cannot express all the different feelings I'm feeling at this very moment. You asked me a question earlier this evening. Remember? I know I could never forget it. Let me refresh your memory in case it happened to slip your mind. You said something like, "Theresa, I never realized that coming back to Harmony would change my life for the better. I came back in hope of finding father dead so I could take his fortune and skip out on this horrible family once and for all. But since my return, I've become the richest man in the world, even though father is still alive. There was a time in my life when I thought that money could buy me happiness, but.....that all changed after I met you. Theresa, if you haven't already known you are the reason why I'm so rich. Rich in love, rich in happiness. You've made me believe again in a thing called fate. After living and being part of the Crane family, you tend to become rather deprived of those things and you're scared when you first experience them. I know I was terrified and I tend to think you were too. That's why I think you played hard to get at first. You were so cute when you tried to run from my love, but in the end you've learned to embrace my love even after going through that mess with Ethan. I could never really thank you enough for showing me the true meaning of love; showing me what it felt like being in love. I'm here standing before you, my love, wishing.....hoping.....and praying that you will accept my hand in marriage. Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald, will you do me the great honor of being my wife, my lover, but most of all my best friend?" Now do you remember Foxy Baby? I must confess your proposal wasn't that much of a surprise, but the way you made it, just thinking about it now brings tears to my very eyes. Fox, I bet your wondering why I'm saying all of this. Well because my answer is.......YES! Yes, I will marry you! Now, once you get this I want you to meet me at our spot. I'll be waiting with loving arms!
Your loving fiancee,
Theresa Crane
P.S. It has a nice ring to it doesn't it?
"Oh dear Lord!" Pilar exclaimed once she finished reading the whole letter. "I....I had no idea he proposed to her."
Pilar placed the letter back in Fox's hand as it was before and sat down in the chapel.
Pilar was all alone in the chapel. She looked around, she could feel someone's presence, but she wasn't sure who it was.
"Lord," Pilar began as she knelt down, "I had no idea Fox had asked Theresita to marry him. You know I once thought that Fox was no good and would only bring my Theresita pain like Ethan did, but he's changed. I see that now. He does love her and Theresita has finally learned to let someone new love her. Please, dear Lord, don't take away both of their happiness. They belong."
"At least some people believe in our love for one another." Fox tried to smile as he closed the chapel door.
