Welcoming New Life

"Ow!" Waking in the middle of the night, Theresa feels a sharp pain slash through her stomach, and then feels her water breaking.

"Oh, God, this is it. I need to get to a hospital." Reaching over in bed, she is able to grab the phone, and call Fox.

"Fox, listen, I need your help. I'm having the babies now, can you please come get me?"

"Sure, Theresa, I'll get there asap."

Remembering her breathing, Theresa takes slow deep breaths to calm herself. "My babies are coming today. There is no way I'm giving these children back to Ethan and Gwen. They stole Little Ethan from me and now I'll steal these babies from them."

Once Fox arrives at the hotel, he helps Theresa get into his car, and then proceeds to drive them to the hospital.

"Theresa, are you sure you know what you're doing?"

"Fox, I am not giving these babies back to Gwen. She took my son, I can't let her take these children too!"

"Theresa, calm down. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to get you upset. Just breathe in and out, you're going to be okay."

Once they arrive at the hospital, Theresa is rushed into the Labor and Delivery room. She has been pushing for a while, and is relieved when the doctor tells her to start pushing. Using Fox's hand, she squeezes with all her might, and keeps pushing the babies out.

"Okay, Theresa, you can stop pushing, I see one head!" The doctor exclaims.

"oh, thank god!" Theresa says as she takes a deep breath.

Hearing a baby cry, Theresa looks from Fox to the doctor. "It's a girl, Theresa. She looks beautiful." The doctor says as he hands off the baby to a nurse, and prepares for baby number two.

"Okay, Theresa, you have to find your strength to give me another push."

"Doctor, I can't!"

"Come on, Theresa, yes you can. Do this for your babies." Fox encourages her.

After pushing harder for a second time, another baby's cry is heard. "It's a boy, Theresa." The doctor says.

After the babies are cleaned, Theresa holds them both in her arms. "Oh, my beautiful babies. How could I even think of giving you back to Gwen and Ethan? There is no way that would happen. You both are my children. We're going to make it together, I promise you."

"They're beautiful, Theresa." Fox says.

"Thank you, Fox. You have to promise not to tell Ethan and Gwen that I gave birth. I can't give these babies to them, Fox. I just can't."

"Don't worry, Theresa, I won't tell them a thing. I'll be here for you as you need me."

"Thank you." She says as she kisses his cheek.

"Name your babies, Theresa." Fox says.

Looking from her son to her daughter, Theresa smiles. "Nicholas Luis and Audrey Nicole."

"Nicholas?"

"Yes, after his uncle Fox."

"I'm honored."

"Well, you should be!" The two laugh. "They're beautiful, Theresa."

Kissing each forehead, Theresa smiles, "Yes, Fox, they are."
