Chapter 11: Come morning
Teresa starts to fades away right before his eyes.
Ethan: NOOOOO!
Female voice: Ethan, are you up?
Ethan bolts out of bed. For a second there is a look of confusion on his face. Then he remembers where he is and what has happened. He slowly sinks back onto the bed. A knock comes at the door again.
Pilar: Ethan, are you ok?
Ethan grabs for his shirt.
Ethan: Come on in Pilar.
Pilar comes in.
Pilar: Morning Ethan.
Ethan: Morning, did I hear just hear the phone? Was it the hospital?
Pilar: Yes Ethan the hospital did call this morning. It's about Teresa. She made it through the night.
Ethan: OH THANK YOU GOD!!!! She is over a major hurdle.
Pilar: Dr. Russell called to tell me that she made through the night and that they have taken her out of recovery and placed her in ICU. You can see her this morning if you want.
Ethan: I thought only family could see patients in ICU?
Pilar: Ethan you are about to become my son-in-law so that makes you family; am I understood?
Ethan: Yes ma'am.
Pilar: Plus I know it killed you not to be able to see Teresa last night even though you insisted that her brothers and I go and see her.
Ethan: I was just doing the honorable thing. That's all.
Pilar: No you were doing an unselfish thing. That's I've arranged it that you have full access to Teresa. Anytime you want to see her you can. No one is going to stop you.
Ethan: I don't know what to say?
Pilar: You don't have to say anything. All I want is for you to love my little girl everyday of her life.
Ethan: That's already a done deal. Do you know you were one of the reasons I chose Teresa over Gwen?
Pilar: I was?
Ethan: Yeah you were. Don't get me wrong I like Rebecca but I don't love or respect her like I do you. You have been a second mother to me while I was growing up. I couldn't love you more than I already do.
Pilar: Ethan, I don't know what to say. Thank you! You have made me proud. Now I suggest you go hop into the shower and get changed. I'll make you something to eat before you head off to the hospital.
Ethan: I don't have any clothes here.
Pilar: You and Luis are about the same size. You can borrow some of his clothes. I'll make arrangements for Sheridan to send your clothes over here later.
Ethan: Pilar, I'm not going to take advantage of your hospitality.
Pilar: You are invited to stay here, as long you want Ethan, I'm going to take care of you until Teresa is able.
Ethan: Pilar that is sweet but I have to refuse.
Pilar: Then how about this it would make me feel better if you stayed.
Ethan: When you put it that way how can I refuse?
Pilar: I wasn't about to let you. Now go on and get on hop into the shower. We can ride over to the hospital together.
Ethan: I love you Pilar.
Pilar: I love you too.
Ethan hugs Pilar and then heads off to the shower.
