Chapter 9: wishful thinking
Gwen is down the hall after her prayer she calls Rebecca on her cell phone.
Rebecca: Hello
Gwen: Mother it's me.
Rebecca: Oh please tell me you have good news or should I say bad news on Teresa?
Gwen: Its double the good news, for us anyway. First thing there was so much damaged by the bullet that she lost a lot of blood. It would take a miracle if Teresa lived through the night.
Rebecca: Oh joy! What is the other part?
Gwen: Well according to Dr. Russell one of the fragments lodged itself near Teresa's spinal cord. There is a chance and from the look on the doctor's face a pretty good chance that Teresa will be paralyzed.
Rebecca: That is good news but the fact that Teresa could be paralyzed might work against us. You know Ethan has a kind heart that Teresa prays upon.
Gwen: Yes I know mother but what can we do?
Rebecca: Just pray that Teresa die's. If she doesn't then she'll wish she had died, because on her wedding day it going to be "The worst day of her life".
Gwen: Oh that will be a sweet day mother a sweet day.
Rebecca: Yes it will be sweetie.
Gwen: I hear Pilar and Teresa's brothers coming back.
Rebecca: What Ethan didn't go with them?
Gwen: Well from what I over heard Ethan insisted that Pilar and her sons go and see Teresa. He said that he would have plenty of time to see her.
Rebecca: Oh I see well then I have another question for you. Why aren't you over there comforting him?
Gwen: I'm on my way. I thought I would call you and give you an update.
Rebecca: Good, now I want you to play the devoting friend anything he wants or needs you get it for him, understand.
Gwen: I was planning on doing that mother. I better go and see how is Teresa. I'll call you later.
Rebecca: Good. Bye sweetie. Let's pray that Teresa doesn't make it.
Gwen: I already did and I also prayed that she goes to straight to hell.
Rebecca: Oh she will in one way or another.
Gwen hangs up her cell phone and joins the rest of gang in the waiting room. Pilar, Luis and Miguel are just coming in along with Dr. Russell. Ethan is the first one to them. Sheridan goes to Luis and Charity goes to Miguel. Chad brings in Whitney a little closer.
Ethan: Pilar how is Teresa?
Pilar looks at Ethan.
Pilar: She looks so peaceful. You wouldn't know that she was fighting for her life.
Luis: Yeah she looks like she's in a deep sleep.
Gwen to herself: Please god, don't let her wake up.
Miguel: I bet she's dreaming of you her prince charming right now
Everyone laughs a bit.
Eve: I'm going to suggest to all of you go home and get some rest. I promise to call if any changes happen.
Ethan: I don't want to leave her. I can't leave her.
Eve: Ethan you are not going to do Teresa any good if you are tired. So please take my advice and go home, eat something, get some rest and then come back in the morning.
Sheridan: Dr. Russell is right Ethan come back to the cottage go to bed. Teresa will be fine.
Ethan: Thanks Sheridan but I don't want to be too far away from Teresa. The cottage is on the other side of town.
Gwen: Well then, Ethan why don't you come home with me? I have tons of room and you can be here at the hospital first thing in the morning to be with Teresa.
Ethan: Thanks but no thanks Gwen. I don't think so. I think I'll stay here and crash in a hospital bed.
Pilar: NO you won't Ethan Winthrop. I'm going to take you home to my house you can stay in Luis' room since he has moved into cottage.
Ethan: Pilar I can't accept...
Pilar: Ethan, I'm not asking you to come with me. I'm telling you as your future mother-in-law you are going to come to my home stay with me. I'll not take no for an answer.
Luis: You better do what she says Ethan. She is just as stubborn as Teresa if not more so.
Pilar: You won't be seeing Teresa until morning. I know it's what Teresa would want.
Ethan: When you put it that way how can I refuse?
Pilar: come on let go home and get some rest. Can I ask something of all of you?
Everyone looks at Pilar.
Pilar: Please say a prayer for Teresa tonight. I have a feeling that she is going to need all of them.
Chad: I already did.
Whitney: Teresa is always in my prayers.
Ivy: Pilar you don't even have to ask me.
Pilar: Thank you all. I know it means the world to Teresa that you are here for her.
Sheridan: We wouldn't be anywhere else Pilar.
