"What are you talking about?" Ethan asked getting up to touch her.
"No! Get away from me. Don't touch me. You did this. You're the one who killed my baby. Get away from me. Don't come near me."
"Resa, Honey what's wrong?" Fox asked after he and Gwen ran into the room.
" He did this. He is the reason that Ian and I are here. He did this." She screamed.
"Ethan what is she talking about?" Gwen asked looking at her husband.
"I have no idea. Theresa what is wrong?"
"Get him away from me. Get him away. I never want to see him again. I remember. My poor sweet baby. He did this. He did this to my baby and me. I'll kill you." Theresa screamed lunging out of the bed at Ethan. Before she could reach him, Fox wrapped his arms around her waist and held on. Theresa screamed and struggled to get a hold of Ethan but Fox held her tight. "I hate you Ethan. My son is dying and it is because of you." The nurse rushed in when she heard the screaming.
"Mrs. Crane, please you have to calm down. Your blood pressure is too high. Please. Don't make me sedate you."
"Resa, baby, calm down. We have to go back to Ian. He needs us. Please calm down."
"Get him away from me and I will calm down."
"Sir, I must ask you to leave. You are upsetting Mrs. Crane and it is obvious that she does not want you around. Please sir." The nurse said turning to Ethan and starting to push him towards the door.
"Get him out of here or I'll kill him." Theresa screamed still struggling to break free from Fox.
"Now, sir. I don't want to call security." Once the nurse left with Ethan and he was out of sight, Theresa began to calm down a little bit. Once she was calmer, she began to talk about what happened.
"Theresa, what did you mean when you said that Ethan did this?" Gwen questioned hoping not to hear the answer she knew in her heart. * Dear God, don't let it be true. Please don't let it be true. *
"I remember what happened. I had gone downstairs or strawberries. I had heard you cry but I knew you wanted to be alone. I saw Ethan in the living room drunk so I tried to get to the kitchen without him seeing me but I ran into a table. He started saying the he knew I would come to him. So he waited for me. Are you sure you want to hear this?"
"Yes, I know I have been blind to what Ethan has been doing, and its time I opened my eyes."
"If you're sure." Receiving a nod from Gwen, Theresa glanced at Fox and grabbed is hand in hers. "He told me that he still loved me. That he only married you because of the baby. He wanted me to leave Nicholas and be his mistress. I refused. I told him that Nicholas and our baby were my life and my future. That everything we had was in the past and it was going to stay there. I told him that you loved him and for him to go to you. There was nothing left between us. He tried to go upstairs by himself but he was so drunk he couldn't do it. So I helped him. When we got to the top of the stairs, he said that Nicholas was nothing but a playboy who cared for no one but himself. I yelled at him and started back down the stairs. He called to me and I stopped. That's when he said that if he couldn't have me then neither would Nicholas. Then he wrapped his hands around my neck, I slammed my hands over his ears and he let go but he recovered before I could get away and he . he." Theresa burst into sobs.
"Oh god, Theresa. I am so sorry. All this time, I thought that you were the one chasing after Ethan but it was really Ethan chasing after you. I am so sorry." Gwen said tears running down her face. Neither woman noticed that Fox was clenching his teeth together. Looking at his sobbing wife, Fox felt himself losing control.
"I'll kill him." He exclaimed angrily. Turning from his wife, he marched out of the room.
"Gwen we have to stop him. He really will kill him. Help me please." Outside Theresa's room Fox stalked the halls for Ethan and found him in front of the NICU staring at Ian.
"ETHAN!" Fox bellowed. Turning towards his half brother Ethan was met with a fist to his face. Pouncing on him, Fox continued to throw punches, each one hitting its mark. The two of them rolled on the floor and Fox gained the upper hand once again. But was pulled off by Luis and Sam.
"Fox, what the hell are you doing?" Luis asked still holding onto him. Fox looked up and saw everyone standing there staring at him and a bloody Ethan lying on the floor. Everyone was there; his parents, the Bennett family, Luis and Sheridan, Rebecca, Pilar, Miguel, Whitney and Chad. Behind Whitney and Chad Fox saw Gwen struggling with Theresa down the hall. Rushing over to them, Fox immediately took Theresa in his arms before she and Gwen collapsed.
"Will someone please tell me what is going on? Luis questioned.
"Ask Ethan. If he is man enough to tell the truth." Fox grumbled as Ethan got to his feet.
"Ethan what is going on?" Ivy asked looking up at her first born.
"I am pressing charges against Fox. It was completely unprovoked. I was just standing there watching the doctors work on Ian and the next thing I knew was Fox was attacking me." Ethan stated hoping to turn everyone's anger onto Fox.
"Fox, why did you attack him? What happened?" Julian asked.
"You're pressing charges against me? Oh that's just rich Prince Ethan. How about I press charges against you for attacking my wife with the intention of killing her and our child?"
"WHAT?" Everyone exclaimed.
"Ethan what is he talking about?" Ivy asked.
"Tell the truth for once Ethan. You're going to jail rather way." Fox growled at him.
"I did it. I attacked her. I would do it again too. I warned her to stay away from you. But she wouldn't listen. She went and married you and then got pregnant with that brat in there. I admit it. I tried to strangle her but her little ear trick caught me off guard. But she didn't expect me to recover from that so quickly. And then I pushed her. Now that brat will die and Theresa will come back to me and we will be the family that we were always supposed to be." Theresa burst into sobs as he finished.
"You bastard." Fox yelled and lunged at Ethan slamming him against the wall. "If you ever go near my wife again, I will kill you. She chose me. You had your chance and you blew it. She is my wife. And that is my baby in there fighting for his life. Go back to your own wife, that is if she even wants you after what you have done."
"No. I don't want anything to do with him. In fact, Mother call your lawyer and get him to draw up divorce papers. I cant believe what you have done Ethan. You deserve hell for what you have done." As everyone stood there staring at Ethan, Fox was comforting a crying Theresa; Eve's name was called over the P.A.
"Doctor Russell, please report to NICU immediately. Doctor Russell, NICU immediately."
"Oh God, Ian." Theresa screamed. Running towards the door, the nurse Christina Jones stopped them.
"I'm sorry. But you can't go in there."
"No I have to see my baby. He needs me." Theresa cried.
"I'm sorry. But if you want the doctors to try and help your baby, you have to left them work and stay out here." As the door slammed close in their faces, Fox and Theresa rushed to the window and watched. An hour and a half later, Eve stopped, glanced at her watch and spoke to the nurse before she turned and saw Fox and Theresa staring in the window. Sighing she slowly walked out of the room and up to them.
"Eve, how is my baby. Is he okay?" Theresa asked expectantly.
"Theresa, I'm so sorry."
"No." Theresa cried.
"He was just to early. We tried but we couldn't save him. I'm so sorry."
"No. Not my baby." Theresa sobbed. Falling to the floor, she continued to sob and started rocking back and forth. Fox dropped down beside her and wrapped his arms around her small body racked with sobs and started to cry himself. Still holding Theresa he glanced up at everyone and saw that everyone was crying until he looked at Ethan. Ethan just stood there with a smile on his face.
"Luis, Father, someone get him out of here." Fox said clenching his teeth together. "Get him out of here before I kill him." Everyone looked at Ethan and they were shocked to see the smile on his face. Luis lunged at him but was stopped by Julian and Sam.
"ENOUGH OF THIS!" Boomed a voice from behind all of them. Everyone turned and saw Alistair stroll into view with a cigar in one hand, and a security guard behind him. "This is Deputy Swanson. Sam, I am pressing charges against Ethan. Place him under arrest. You are going to jail Ethan, for attempted murder and murder. Believe me, if you think that you will get off, trust me the charges will stick." Wrapping the handcuffs around his son's wrist, Sam looked at Fox and Theresa who were still sobbing on the floor and then at his son who was still smiling.
"You disgust me. How could you do something like that? How could you claim to love someone and then cause them so much pain? No child of mine would ever do that. You are no longer my son. Here Swanson, take him. No one wants to see his face here. Get him out of here." As Deputy Swanson led Ethan away Alistair kneeled down next to Fox and Theresa.
"No! Get away from me. Don't touch me. You did this. You're the one who killed my baby. Get away from me. Don't come near me."
"Resa, Honey what's wrong?" Fox asked after he and Gwen ran into the room.
