Fox had just fallen asleep on the couch when the doorbell rang for the 20th time that day.
"God damn reporters. Why cant they just leave me alone?" Fox grumbled as he made his way to the door. "WHY CANT YOU PEOPLE JUST..." He stopped mid yell when he saw who was standing at the door. Blinking Fox couldn't believe his eyes. "Are you real? You're not a dream are you?"
"I'm very real Nicholas. Sarah and I are home." Theresa said shaking from head to toe. Fox reached out slowly to touch her to feel if she was real. He had dreamed about this so many times. But each time she vanished into thin air. Touching her face, he pulled her against him quickly to keep her from vanishing.
"You're home."
"I'm home." Letting out a yell, Fox wrapped his arms around Theresa and Sarah. He just kept laughing and crying and yelling at the top of his lungs.
"Fox what's going on? Who was at the door?" Gwen questioned from her room as she walked to the top of the stairs.
"Gwen??" Theresa said pulling away from Fox slightly.
"T? Oh my god! Are you okay?" Sprinting down the stairs, Gwen almost fell trying to take the steps two at a time. "Are you okay? How did you get away? Where's Sarah?"
"Sarah is fine. She's right here. Gwen she did so good. I told her that she needed to be real quiet when we were escaping and she hasn't cried at all since I told her that." Handing Sarah to Gwen, Theresa gently kissed the baby's forehead and Fox pulled her close again, not daring to let her move to far from his side.
"Oh my precious Sarah. My beautiful baby. Thank you T. Thank you for protecting my daughter. Thank you Thank you."
"Nicholas, there's something that you need to know." As she started to talk, Theresa's previous adrenaline rush wore off and the next thing Theresa knew was that she was falling to the floor only to be caught by Fox.
When she woke up, she was laying upstairs in her bedroom, and Fox was sitting beside her in a straight back chair holding her hand.
"I'm taking you to the hospital. Who knows what that bastard might have done to you." He said as he moved from the chair to the bed.
"I am not going to the hospital. Couldn't you just get Dr. Russell to come here instead?"
"Alright if it will make you feel better. That bastard will never touch you again."
"I'll kill him if he ever touches me." Seeing the tears in his wife's eyes, Fox pulled her into his arms and rocked her back and forth.
"Oh god baby what did he do to you?"
"He... he..." Theresa cried unable to get the words out. Fox realize the horrible things his brother inflicted on his wife, he began to tremble in rage.
"I'll kill him. If I ever find that bastard, I will kill him. I will rip off his hands and his dick and kill him." Fox said storming around the room.
"Nicholas no please. I cant lose you. It doesn't matter now. All that matters is that Sarah and I are home safe. Please just hold me. I need you to hold me." Climbing back onto the bed, Fox wrapped his arms around his trembling wife and they were soon asleep. Gwen checked on them about 20 minutes later and saw that they were asleep. Returning to her room, she checked on Sarah and stared calling the rest of the family. Everyone was relieved and wanted to come over as soon as Gwen had called them but Gwen assured them that she was fine but she was sleeping and that everyone could see her tomorrow.
The next day the Crane mansion was filled with every single family member and friend that Theresa had. Theresa was glad to see each and every one of them. Theresa saw Sheridan and Luis' son, Lucas Hunter Lopez-Fitzgerald. Even Rebecca and Ivy were glad to see Theresa. Rebecca was glad just because her Gwennie had her daughter back and Theresa was away from Ethan. Rebecca still believed that Theresa was out to get Ethan. Ivy finally saw what Julian and Alistair had seen. Theresa was desperately in love with her son Fox. The love shining through Theresa's eyes for Fox had never shone that bright when she was with Ethan. Ivy finally accepted Fox and Theresa's marriage and apologized to Theresa for everything that she had said and done in the past. Ivy wanted to start again that is if Theresa wanted to. Theresa was happily willing to do so. The rest of the day was spent just being a family.
