Chapter 4
"Luis, quick!!! Call the ambulance. She's passed out!!!" Ethan yells to Luis.
"What?" Luis asks running over to where Ethan and Theresa are. "Theresa, get up." Luis shakes her lightly trying to get her to wake up, but there was no use, she wasn't moving. He calls the ambulance while kneeling on the ground next to Theresa.
"They're on their way and I think Sam is coming too," Luis says to Ethan.
"Good." Ethan leans over and kisses Theresa on the cheek. While rubbing her hair, he says, "You're going to be okay Theresa. I promise you. You and the baby are going to be just fine."
Upon hearing this Luis looks at Ethan with a shocked expression on his face. When Ethan doesn't say anything he asks, "What did you just say? Did I hear you correctly? Theresa's pregnant?"
"Yeah Luis."
"Well, congratulations, but why didn't anyone tell me before?"
"We haven't told anyone yet. I only just found out myself earlier today," Ethan says to Luis.
"Hmmm… If anything happens to that child, there is going to be prices to pay," Luis says while looking at Noah fiercely.
"Don't worry Luis," Ethan says. "If anything happens to my baby, I'll kill him. What am I saying? I'm already going to kill him. No one is going to hurt my wife and get away with it."
"Same here Ethan. Same here. No one hurts my kid sis and gets away with it."
They both turn back to look at Noah once more.
After what seems like forever, the ambulance and Sam finally arrive. Sam says to the paramedics, "So, do you know what happened?"
The paramedics reply while running into the house, "No. All we were told is that there is a woman who was severely beaten by someone."
Sam follows behind the paramedics.
Luis runs out into the hallway. "We're in here. Hurry!!!"
Once they reach the bedroom the paramedics run over to Theresa and start checking her vitals.
"Is she going to be okay?" Ethan asks frantically.
"Sir, calm down and please stand back. You're just in the way."
"Dammit, she is my wife. Don't you dare tell me to calm down."
Sam and Luis run over to Ethan.
"Ethan, why don't you come over here for a moment to answer a couple of questions for me?" Sam says.
Ethan does as he is asked and follows Sam and Luis.
"Okay, what happened?"
"Well, I'm not really sure as to what went on in here," Ethan replies.
"Yeah. We were outside the door and couldn't get in so we don't know what happened," Luis offers.
"Can you tell me who did this to her then?"
"Sam, I don't think you're going to be too happy when you find out who it was. I know I'm not happy at all. As a matter of fact, I was shocked when I found out," Luis says to Sam.
Sam gives Luis a confused look and then asks, "What do you mean Luis? Who was it?"
"Take a look over on the bed."
Sam looks over to the bed and he too is shocked when he sees Noah sitting there with handcuffs on. Noah looks up at Sam and then looks away.
Before Sam can say anything, the paramedics come over to them and tell them that they are going to the hospital now.
"Ethan, do you want to ride in the ambulance with her?" Luis asks.
"No, you go on ahead. She is after all your sister. I'll stay here and fill Sam in on a couple of things and then I'll be there."
"You sure Ethan?"
"Yeah. I'll see you in a few. Call me if anything happens."
"You got it." With that said Luis was out the door and into the ambulance with Theresa.
Sam looks over at Noah again. "Noah?" Sam asks as though he is amazed.
"Yeah dad. It was me." Noah hangs his head down low.
"Why son? Why did you do it? Theresa is like your best friend."
"It's hard to explain, but… it wasn't all that bad," Noah says standing up and walking towards Sam and Ethan.
"Not all that bad?! Yeah right!!!" Ethan interrupts with fire in his eyes. "How can you say it wasn't all that bad?"
Ethan looks over to Sam. "Sam, he threw her into a wall, slapped her, kicked her, and God only knows what else."
Ethan looks back over to Noah. "And you know she is pregnant. You were there when she told me. I just hope that Theresa and my baby are going to be okay, because if they're not…" Ethan says grabbing Noah by his shirt. "So help me God your son will never say another word or see another day again." With that said Ethan pushes Noah away.
"Wait a minute. She's pregnant?" Sam asks. "Noah, you did this to your best friend knowing that she was pregnant? Tell me now," Sam says walking towards Noah. "Why?"
"Dad," Noah says angrily. "I wanted her. I still want her and when she said no to me and told me she was going to stay with Ethan and she didn't want to be with me it made me angry. I love her dad and I just wanted to be with the woman I love. Is that so much to ask for?"
"Like hell!!! You stay away from her. If I ever see you go near her again I swear to you that I will kill you."
"Calm down Ethan. Noah, I agree with Ethan that you need to stay away from Theresa. As hard as this is for me I have no choice. I'm going to have to take you in."
"But dad, you can't."
"I can and I will. Let's go son. Ethan you can come with me if you want to and I'll drop you off at the hospital on the way to the police station. You'll get there a lot quicker that way."
"Alright," Ethan says. "That sounds good to me."
"Let's go then."
Sam grabs Noah's arm and leads him to the car. They all get into the car and Sam drives to the hospital.
The hospitalLuis runs up to the doctor. "Doctor, is she going to be okay?"
"At this moment it is hard to say how she is going to be. She is awake right now, but she is suffering a bit of head trauma. Now if you will…"
The doctor is interrupted when a nurse runs up to him telling him there is a code blue on one of his patients. Without saying another word to Luis, the doctor runs following the nurse to the patient. Luis watches in the direction of where the doctor is going and notices that he is entering Theresa's room.
"Oh no."
Ethan arrives at the hospital and runs into the waiting room where he sees Luis with a very upset look on his face.
"Luis, what's wrong? Did something happen?"
Luis turns to Ethan and says, "I'm not sure. The doctor just came over here and told me that Theresa was fine and just suffering some head trauma."
Before Luis could say anything else, Ethan interrupts him. "Then it's not that bad, right? She's going to be okay," Ethan says happily. "You don't look too happy. What's wrong with you?"
"Ethan…" Luis pauses. "Ethan, she just had a code blue."
At that moment all of the color drained out of Ethan's face.
