Fox jumped right into his car as fast as he could. He was going down to the police station to talk to Sam and Luis. He finally had the proofe that he needed to bring down Gwen and Rebecca for Theresa's so called "accident." Within minutes Fox was outside of the Harmony Police Department. He knew that he should go rush into there and have Gwen and Rebecca arrested at once, but he hesitated. He turned off his car and sat there silently for a few minutes just thinking.

"Theresa," he began talking to a picture of her, "tonight justice will prevail. Those bitches are finally going to go down for once."As he paused and lowered his head, tears began to fall. "God, how I hope you'll return to me. I can't go on without you!" Suddenly Fox shivered and looked up again. "Theresa? Theresa is that you? If you are there, just know that I love you with all my heart and I'm not giving up on you or our love for one another." Fox finally got out of his car and stepped into the station.

"Fox, what are you doing here?" Sam asked a little surprised.

"I came to speak with you and Luis. I have some informatioin that you will be very interested in."

"Why don't we step into my office? Hank, tell Luis I want to see him in my office right now."

"Will do, Sam."

Hank found Luis outside the station.

"What are you doing out here? It's freezing!" Hank exclaimed.

"I'm just thinking." He said a little absently.

"About what?"

"Family...life. I never noticed how much the first bit of snow can make you reflect so much."

Hank remained quiet.

"You know, Hank, I'm really worried about Theresa. She's been in that coma for so long already."

"Are you giving up hope that she's gonna make it?"

"No... yes...I don't know. I just don't know anymore, Hank. I have to find out what really happened. If it wasn't an accident I just have to find the person who did this to her."

"Everything will work out alright in the end, buddy."

"I hope so."

"The reason I came out here was to tell you that Sam needs to speak with you right now in his office."

"Did he saw what it was about?"

"No, but it sounds important."

"Well, I better go and found out what's up."

Luis was surprised to see Fox with Sam once he stepped into the office.

"Fox, what are you doing here?"

"Luis, what happened to Theresa wasn't an accident. It was attempted murder."

"I know that's what you think, Fox, but without evidence that theory won't hold up in a court of law."

Fox smiled kindly and passed Luis the paper that he had recieved from the expert.

"Fox, please tell me that all of this is true!"

"It is. Now it's about time that Rebecca and Gwen get what they have coming to them."

"I'll go get an arrest warrant, then we can go to the mansion and get them." Sam said.

"Alright." Luis said.

Fox and Luis waited outside of the station for Sam..

"You know, Fox, I can't thank you enough for giving us this information."

"Luis, I only did it because I love her so much. She's my world. Hell, she's my everything."

"I use to think that Ethan was the only man for her, but I must say now that I was wrong. Fox, I hope when Theresa comes out of the coma she'll realize that she almost lost you. I wouldn't mind having you for a brother-in-law."

"Thanks, Luis."

"Alright! Let's go!" Sam told them as he met them outside.

They arrived at the mansion shortly. Julian noticed the flashing lights from the window and he wondered what was going on.

"They can't be coming for me." He told himself. "I haven't done anything illegal in a while now."

Sam pounded on the door shouting, "Harmony P.D! Open up!"

"Alright, hold on, Sam." Julian said as he let them in.

"Where is Rebecca and Gwen?" Luis asked.

"Upstairs. Why? What's going on?"

"This is police matters." Sam informed him.

"Fox, I demand you to tell me what's going on!"

"I will...just not right now."

Fox, Luis, and Sam went upstairs and found Rebecca and Gwen in Gwen's room. They both looked very surprised to see Luis, Sam, and Fox.

"Gwen, Rebecca, you both have the right to remain silent. Anything you do or say will be used against you in the court of law......." Sam went on reading them their rights.

"What's going on?" Rebecca asked.

"Your under the arrest for the attempted murder of Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald." Luis told them.

"That's ludacris!" Rebecca exclaimed pretending to be innocent.

"Oh Rebecca! Do stop putting on that act of yours. I wouldn't be surprised one bit if this turns out to be true." Julian shocked everyone by his words.

"Pookie, you have to believe me! Please call the lawyer and tell him that I'm being arrested for no reason!"

"I'm calling the lawyer, but not for that reason. Rebecca I want a divorce!"

"You can't do this to me, Pookie!"

"Oh yes I can, Rebecca dear."

"Okay, that's enough talkiing!" Luis said. "We have to get you two down to the station."

Rebecca and Gwen were put in the Harmony jail until their court date.

Fox was happy that justice was going to be served, but he couldn't stop thinking that maybe Theresa wouldn't come back to him.

"I need to be with her." He told himself.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"New Years Eve," Theresa sighed. "I hate the holidays now." She told Little Bella, who was now already 8 months old. "I wish your father was here."

Theresa hadn't heard from him for over 6 months and she worried terribly about him....and about Ethan too. Of course not like that though. She loved only Fox.

Flashback begins:

Theresa grabbed the papers and ran downstairs back to the table. Ethan was finishing up his dinner when he realized that Theresa had found the secret papers.

"I can explain, Theresa." He began, but was cut off.

"Now, listen to me, Ethan! I'm thankful that you helped me and Little Bella when we needed help. Thank you so much! I appreciated the so much, but this," she shook the papers, "this," she shook them once more, "this is like a dagger to my cheast. How could you? I never made any advances in that way to you. Did I? I love Fox with all my heart! He is my soulmate, my daughter's father."

Theresa paused to find a paragraph to read outloud, "Fox isn't the right man for Theresa. I can see that now. I'm the perfect man for her. One day she will be Mrs. Ethan Winthrope even though she may not realize it now. I love her, and I know she has feelings for me." Theresa skimmed through to find another sentence or two to read. "I shiver everytime she touches me. I can't wait until the day we make love for the first time." Theresa paused again, but this time to calm herself down. "What the hell is this!?" She demanded to know at once.

"Theresa, there's no use in me lying. I love you." He finally confessed.

"No! No! No! I don't love you! I love Fox! Do you hear me? Fox! I love Fox!" She cried out.

"No, you don't. I know you have feelings for me, Theresa. You can't fight them. They will come out sooner or later."

Theresa couldn't stand listening to his lies so she slapped him across the face as hard as she could.

Breathing heavy and crying she said, "I love Fox. Not you. Please just leave me alone for now."

Ethan did nothing as she walked up to her room and locked the door.

Flashback ends:

"Oh Ethan! Why did you have to tell me that you loved me?"

Flashback begins:

"Last call for all aboard!" The engineer shouted.

"Well, I better be going." He told her.

"Yeah. Try to be safe and send Fox all my love."

"I will. Thank you for everything."

"No," she said taking his hands, "thank you." They looked deep into each others eyes.

"Final call!"

Theresa hugged him and gave hm a little kiss on the cheek before pulling away from him. Ethan grabbed his bags and got on, but he stayed in the back so he could watch Theresa until the train turned.

"Good bye, Ethan." Theresa said softly to herself as she waved to him.

Theresa felt something tugging at her and when she looked down she saw a little girl.

"Why are you crying?" The little girl asked in a rather squeaky voice.

"I don't. I don't know." She repeated.

Flashback ends:

Theresa wipped the tears that began to fall. "Theresa, stop this! This is all nonsense! You love Fox."

Just then Theresa heard a knock at the door.

"Who could that be now? I don't think I was expecting anyone."

Theresa stopped in the hall as soon as she recognized who it was.

"Oh my Lord!"

Soon though, she regrained herself and answered the door.

"Theresa," he smiled.

"Ethan, what are you doing here?"

"Am I coming here at a bad time?"

"Oh no. Please, come inside."

"Thank you."

"So why are you here?"

"Actually I'm here to recover from my latest wound."

"What happened?"

"I was grazed with a bullet and I was told to take a leave of absence for a week. And I came here because Fox asked me to."

"Fox? How is he?"

"He's good. He misses you so much."

"Did you tell him about Little Bella?"

"I did."

"Well, what did he say?" She asked excitedly.

"He honestly can't wait to see her."

Theresa smiled and sighed.

"I miss him so much, Ethan."

"I know you do," he told her.

Theresa could tell in his eyes that he was hurt.

"Ethan, I'm sorry."

"Please, don't. There's no need for an apology." He paused and then changed the subject. "So how is Little Bella?"

"She's wonderful."

"Could I see her before I leave?"

"She's sleeping right now. I'm sorry."

"That's alright. Well, I better get going."

Ethan stood up and put his hat on. Theresa stood up, put her hand on his arm and said, "So soon?"

"It would hurt too much to stay."

"Please, don't leave on account of me."

They stared deeply into their eyes as they had that night that Ethan left.

[i]I can't leave without kissing her. I have to express my feelings for her.[/i] He thought.

Ethan kissed her and surprisingly Theresa found herself kissing him back. Theresa wasn't quite sure how, but she and Ethan ended up in her and Fox's bedroom. She found Ethan on top of her kissing her passionately.

[i]What am I doing?[/i] She thought. [i]I love Fox, but this feels so good and yet so right.[/i]

Theresa woke up at 11:50 p.m. 10 minutes before the new year. She turned her head and saw Ethan lying next to her, sleeping peacefully.

"What have I done? I've betrayed Fox."

The next morning Theresa woke up with a letter in her hand. It was from Ethan, she could tell that by his handwritting.

[i]Dearest Theresa,

I cannot ever forgive myself for what happened last night. It was a mistake. I hope you do not blame yourself. I think it would be better if no one ever finds out. I do believe it would be for the best if we never see each other again. I'm sorry for all the pain I have enflicted on you, Fox, and Bella.

Ethan[/i]

"If that's what you want, Ethan, then that's what you'll get." She said slowly as tears fell from her eyes.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Theresa?"

"God? Is that you?"

"Yes, Theresa."

"What's going on?"

"Your time is done."

"What?"

"It's time for you to move on to your next life."

"Well, wait! What happenes? Does Fox return to her? Who does she choose to be with Ethan or Fox? I need to know, God. Please, tell me." She pleaded.

"I can't tell you, but I can show you."

"Please, do whatever it takes. I just need to know."

"Well, there is something you need to know before I can show you."

"What?"

"It's not 1914 anymore. It's 1918."

"The year that WWI ended. Right?"

"Yes.And you suffered a miscarrage."

"A miscarrage?"

"Yes."

"You mean Ethan and I were gonna have a baby?"

"Yes."

"What happened? How did I lose it?

"You fell down the stairs in your home."

"Oh my!"

"I know, Theresa. Now, close your eyes."

Theresa did as God said and found herself in her and Fox's home with Little Bella who was now 3.

"Mama, where's daddy? When is he coming home?" Little Bella asked.

"Soon, soon dear. Now that the war is over he will come back to us shortly."

The next day Theresa was upstairs dressing Little Bella when she heard the door open.

"Whose there?" Theresa asked from upstairs.

When she heard no response she began to worry that there was an intruder, but that all faded away once she saw him.

"As I live and breath!" She exclaimed in tears. "I thought you were dead." She said as she hugged and kissed him.

"Theresa, would I leave you and our baby?"

"No, Fox, you wouldn't. Never leave me again! Never!"

"I won't."

"Fox, honey, what's wrong?"

"Ethan."

"What about him?"

"He died a two weeks ago in battle."

"How?" She asked remembering her little baby that died.

"He pushed me out of the way when he saw a bomb about to explode. He saved me my life. He made me able to return to you both."

"Oh my Lord!" Theresa exclaimed as she fainted.
