To Love Again
Disclaimer: I don't own Passions etc.
A/N: I know I said that there was going be a mystery person in this chapter but I guess you can't consider the person a mystery. Before I was going to make this chapter really short so the person was going to remain unknown but luckily this inspiration hit me so I landed up writing more. Anyway I hope you enjoy.
Ps: Thanks for all the reviews.

Who asked if little Ethan existed in the story well sadly I had trouble with fitting him in so basically he died as a baby. Sad I know but anyways on with the story.
Chapter 24
Troubling Visits
Theresa awoke to the sounds of birds merrily singing outside of her window. She looked around her hoping that everything would be familiar but it all seemed so new to her. 'Maybe if I look around I can get a good sense of who I am.' She thought sliding out of bed, her flowing blush pink nightgown falling just below her knees. She wrapped her arms around her bare shoulders.
There was never a moment when she wouldn't feel considerably cold. The cold just seemed to stay with her, running through her blood not wanting to leave her, never letting her feel a moment of warmth. 'That's not all true...' thought Theresa. 'When I'm with Fox I always feel warm.'
A smile passed across her lips at the thought of Fox. He was so sweet and when he made jokes just to cheer her up, he was always successful with being able to always make her smile. The smile faded as she thought of the love she had had with a man named Ethan. From the description Fox had given her he had sounded like a real jerk. 'It has to be true right? I mean would Fox really lie about his half brother?'
She shook her head. How could he lie about a thing like that? She had loved this man and when he lost faith in her he got another woman pregnant. "Well I just hope he's happy were ever he is." She said to herself, not lingering on thoughts of Ethan. "Fox should be here any minute so I better get ready to go out for breakfast." She said moving over to her closet.
She picked out a pair of hip hugger jeans and a white V-neck shirt. "This'll have to do." Said Theresa laying it out on her bed. She grabbed a towel that her mother had lain out for her. "Now for the hard part... finding the bathroom.' She whispered walking out of the room. Theresa looked both ways down the hall finding no one in sight. 'I wonder where everyone is.' She thought clutching her towel to her chest.
She stepped up to the door across from her room, slowly opening it before poking her head in to see if it was the bathroom. Theresa frowned. It wasn't the bathroom but her brother's room. She took a quick glance around realizing that it couldn't be Luis's. The room was fit for a younger boy perhaps in his teen years or maybe a little passed. There were few posters on the wall and photos dotting the walls near them.
Theresa walked further into the room. 'Well if no one's home I might as well look around before I get ready... I mean it is still early there can't be any harm by exploring.' She walked up to the wall that held the most pictures. She noticed a lot of them held a beautiful, young, blond girl either looking happily at the camera or into the eyes of the young man.
"This must be Miguel." Theresa whispered. The two looked so happy. She came across some photos of Miguel holding a baby smiling happily at the child in his arms. "I wonder if it's his." In another photo she saw a girl with brown hair standing next to him, looking at the little baby with such love. "That must be the mother. But she looks nothing like the other girl... the blond girl." Theresa moved away from the photos confused. "I better start getting ready... I've wasted so much time as it is."
Just as she was going to start looking for the bathroom again the doorbell rang. "That must be Fox!" Said Theresa in excitement. She ran to the door, forgetting that she was only wearing her thin nightgown. Theresa grabbed the doorknob and flung the door open. She was surprised to see that it wasn't Fox on the other side of the door. "I'm sorry who are you?" She asked the man standing before her.

Fox walked quickly through the halls of Crane Industries. He didn't bother with civilities to the people that he passed. Quickly he searched for the elevator that would lead him to his grandfather's office. Alistair was very rarely seen by his employees since he had people under him who worked as their bosses but Fox knew that he was always there.
Fox took the elevator as quickly as possible. He wanted to get this meeting over with as fast as he could so he could return to Theresa. He was already late as it was. As soon as he reached Alistair's floor he walked passed the secretary's desk, ignoring her as she yelled that he wasn't suppose to go in there.
He didn't bother knocking he simply walked in finding his grandfather sitting at his desk smoking a cigar. "So this is what you do all day grandfather." He said putting his hands on his hips. "What is it that you want Fox?" Asked Alistair, clearly annoyed at the sudden appearance of his grandson.
"I want to know why you want Theresa dead." He said walking up to the desk. "Theresa now... why would I want her dead?" He asked while bringing the cigar to his lips. "Don't start that grandfather I know that somehow you were behind Theresa almost being killed."
"Almost killed? I thought she died after that accident in LA." "Of course you would know all about that." Said Fox glaring at Alistair hatefully. "Now Fox.even if I were somehow involved in your accusations. what would be my reason for trying to kill her?" He asked with an evil grin.
"I don't know your motivations but I know that it had to be you... Theresa has described..." "Wait... Theresa is alive?" Said Alistair in surprise. 'People who can actually do a job right seem to be dwindling down these days.' He thought angrily. "You sound surprised grandfather." Fox said with a smirk. "Well of course I am I thought she had died in LA... caused by some reckless driving might I add."
Fox glared angrily at Alistair. "How dare you... for some reason I was told that Theresa was dead and who better then the person who has enough power to do it without flaw but you... you even said that you were... going to fly her body back to Harmony..." He said trailing off realizing the mistake Alistair had made. Now he was defiantly sure Alistair had been involved with all that had happened.

"Theresa?" Theresa looked down at herself realizing finally that she was jut wearing her thin nightgown. She quickly wrapped her towel around her and weakly smiled at the stranger. "I'm really sorry but do I know you?" She asked weakly. She was so embarrassed for rushing to the door with barley nothing on to find a person she didn't even recognize.
"Are you all right Theresa?" Asked Ethan. What kind of game was she playing? First she calls and says she's in Paris, making him worry out of his mind and the next she was acting like she didn't even know him. "I'm ok... I guess... what did you say your name was?" She asked again pulling the towel around her more tightly.
"Theresa you know perfectly well who I am." He said growing irritated. Theresa sighed hoping that Fox would show up soon. "I'm sorry that I don't know you... I was in an accident and well... I have amnesia." She said looking down at her feet. "Amnesia?" He said with surprise. "I'm... sorry Theresa... I didn't know." He said softening his gaze on her. "That's all right... how could you have known."
"I'm Ethan." "Ethan..." Theresa said covering her mouth in surprise. 'Why would Ethan be here?' "What do you want?" Asked Theresa quickly. "Well I was somewhat worried after the last call you made to me so I kind of decided to talk to your mother... to check on you." "Oh... well if that's all." She said closing the door. "Wait..." Said Ethan stopping her.
She opened the door again. 'It's so strange to not remember the man that you had loved at one time... the man who betrayed you for another woman.' She thought. 'Well Fox did say that sometimes the mind likes to forget the bad... and Ethan was of course... well he had to be bad.' Theresa reminded herself but she couldn't help but feel a small flutter in her heart as she stared into his blue eyes.
"What more do you want Ethan? I'll be sure to tell my mother that you came by." She said wanting him away from her immediately. Her mind seemed to scream trouble but her heart was saying differently. 'I must have really loved him to still feel a little something for him now.'
"I... well I just want to know if you're ok Theresa." "I'm fine Ethan... really, don't worry about me and if I'm not correct you have a wife you should probably be worrying about now." She said with irritation. She didn't want to be around a guy who acted like he was concerned about her welfare when he hadn't shown any when he decided to leave her.
He looked like he was in battle with himself. He was about to say something when she closed the door slowly in his face. Theresa stared at the door in front of her. "I'm sorry." She whispered. She couldn't hate him even if she tried. "Even though I can't remember... I guess I'll always have a place in my heart for you." She said walking away from the door.
She found the bathroom and showered, quickly changing afterward. She went and sat on the living room couch, deciding that she would wait for Fox there. It wasn't long before the doorbell rang. Theresa slowly stood and straightened out her clothes before walking over to the door. This time when she opened the door Fox was on the other side. "Fox you finally made it."
She said jokingly. He weakly smiled and pulled her into his arms tightly. "Is something wrong Fox?" She asked a little concerned. "Not at all Theresa I'm just happy to see you." He lied through his teeth. He wasn't ready to tell her the truth just yet. After he had found out about Alistair he had completely gone silent.
He quickly decided to play dumb when it came to Alistair at least until he knew the next step he was going to take. "So where are you taking me?" She asked. "I was thinking we spend a quiet breakfast at the Book Café." "That sounds great." She said looking up into his eyes. "Well then Theresa lets get going." He said more excitedly taking her hand and leading her to the door.
