When the plane carrying Jane and Gwen explodes Theresa is devastated. Now years later she and Ethan are happy but she can't help but look back at the baby she lost.
The words that are in Italics are flashbacks.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Theresa Lopes-Fitzgerald couldn't help but let her tears slip from her eyes as she stood by her baby's tiny grave.
"Curse you Gwen. Curse you for taking my baby from me."
Fifteen years had passed since the plane carrying her baby and her nemesis had exploded, since Fox had been horribly injured, and since her little girl had died.
"That was supposed to be the happiest time of my life. But thanks to Gwen and Alistair it turned into a disaster."
Theresa could remember it like it was yesterday.
"Theresa I have to tell you something," Ethan had said.
"Yes Ethan."
"Fox left because he managed to track down Gwen and Jane. He left to bring them back."
Theresa couldn't breathe. Tears of happiness were building up in her eyes.
"Really?"
"Yes. And I wanted you to know that I love you and when they get back I'm going to file for divorce against Gwen."
"You love me?"
"Yes. And basically what I'm trying to say is will you marry me?"
Theresa stared at the simple but beautiful diamond ring that Ethan had produced from his pocket.
"Yes. Yes I will marry you."
Theresa could no longer hold back her happy tears.
"I love you Ethan. I always have. This is great, this means that Jane and Ethan will grow up normally from now on. Let's go tell Whitney."
Suddenly Ethan's cell phone rang.
"You go tell her. I should probably take this."
"Okay."
Theresa wheeled herself into the kitchen were she found Whitney hunched over clinging to her stomach.
"Whitney what's wrong?"
"I think I'm in labour."
"O my. We need to get you to the hospital. Ethan, Whitney is in labour we have to get her to the hospital."
Ethan rushed into the room still on his cell phone.
"Dad I need to talk to you later. Listen I'm sure Jessica is fine. Well if you're that concerned then just bash the bathroom door down and see what's going on. I'm sure that she's just a bit upset after what happened. Wait is Dr. Russell there?"
He paused.
"She is? Good tell her to meet us at the hospital Whitney just went into labour. O and call T.C. and Liz two. Thanks dad."
Ethan hung up his phone and started to help Whitney to her feet.
"Wait," she cried out.
"What is it?" Theresa asked.
Whitney reached out and grabbed the legal documents concerning her having power of attorney for Fox. She silently ripped them up.
"I can't do it to Fox or the baby. I just can't. You were right Theresa."
Theresa smiled.
"Quickly we have to get you to the hospital," said Ethan trying to hide his confusion.
"Right come on."
Theresa sighed as she remembered that day.
As Whitney's screams filled the hospital as she gave birth to her baby Theresa and Ethan sat in the waiting room.
"Do you think she's okay?"
"Theresa you screamed just as loud with Little Ethan and Jane. I'm sure she's fine."
"You're right, you're right. I'm just being silly."
"Actually you're concerned for your friend. That's not silly at all."
Theresa smiled. Suddenly the screams stopped and after a few minutes Eve entered the waiting room.
"Whitney would like to speak to you Theresa. She just had a baby boy."
Theresa smiled. "How's the baby's health?" she whispered to Eve when Ethan was out of earshot.
"He looks fine just a bit small. We'll be able to tell soon enough."
Theresa nodded and wheeled herself into the room. Whitney was holding her little baby and smiling at him.
"You were right Theresa I do love him and I can't let him go. I'm going to keep him and I'm considering accepting Fox' marriage proposal."
"That's great Whitney. What are you thinking about naming him?"
Whitney shrugged her shoulder, "I'm not sure yet. All I know is I would like you to be his godmother."
Theresa was stunned, "Whitney I'm honoured. But shouldn't your mom be the godmother or Simone?"
"I was thinking about my mom. But I decided that he was better off with you."
Theresa smiled in spite of herself, "He's beautiful."
"Isn't he? Say hi to Aunt Theresa."
Whitney gently took his hand and pretended he was waving at Theresa.
"Hi Aunty Theresa," she said in a mock baby voice.
Theresa's smile could have lit up a room.
"Whitney I hate to take away from your big day but can I tell you something?"
"Sure Theresa."
"Ethan told me that Fox found my baby and is bringing her home. He also said he loves me and is going to divorce Gwen and asked me to marry him."
Whitney's eyes got wide, "You said yes right?"
"Of course."
"O this is great. I'm so happy for you."
"And I think that I'm going to talk to Julian. Tell him he can spend some time with Little Ethan but not joint custody that way Little Ethan will be able to know his real father and his step father."
"But won't Gwen still have custody of Little Ethan?"
"No I believe because she's insane the judgement will pass to Ethan. And I'm sure he'll give custody back to me."
Whitney nodded, "That makes
sense. Theresa what do you think I should name this little guy?"
"Well what is his last name going to be Russell?"
"I think Russell-Crane."
Theresa thought, "How about Jonathan?"
Whitney paused, "Jonathan. Jonathan Russell-Crane. I like that."
"Me two."
"Mom we thought of a name," Whitney said just as Eve entered the room.
"That's wonderful. What is it?" Eve asked.
"Jonathan Russell-Crane."
"Jonathan. That works really well."
Whitney smiled at Theresa the happiness she felt shining from her eyes.
"Why couldn't it have stayed that moment forever?" Theresa thought.
Around 3 days later Whitney and Jonathan were released from the hospital. The tests had come back and it showed that any birth defects were minor. Jonathan may have trouble talking when he grew up or might have difficulty walking but those problems wouldn't be permanent if he worked on them.
"I don't see why it took so long for those tests to come back. I mean it's not that difficult," Whitney said in a playfully wining voice. The two were sitting in Pilar's living room with the baby boy.
"Just be glad that you're out now. Fox just called us he finally managed to get Gwen and the baby on the plane but they should be home today or tomorrow," said Theresa as she held little Jonathan.
"What about Katherine?"
"She wasn't there when he arrived. Apparently she had gotten on a plane and flew off somewhere. She didn't tell Gwen."
"Strange. Did Ethan tell Fox that I had the baby?"
"I'm not sure. Maybe."
"It doesn't matter. The point is that we're going to live happily from now on. We're both going to have our children and a great man standing by us."
"O Whitney. If only you were right," Theresa's words were swept away by the oncoming wind.
Theresa had been talking with Luis and Whitney when she got the phone call.
"Hello this is Theresa."
"Theresa it's Ethan. I don't know how to tell you this but something horrible has happened."
"What? Ethan what's wrong."
"The plane that was carrying Jane, Gwen, and Fox exploded earlier today. Alistair had planted a bomb on it thinking that Katherine was coming back to Harmony."
Theresa nearly dropped the phone. She felt a sinking feeling in her stomach.
"Theresa are you still there?"
"Yes I'm here? What happened?"
"Well they were landing at an airport to get fuel. Gwen and the baby were on board the plane but Fox and the captain had both gotten off of the plane. The security system found it right before the bomb blew up. Fox was climbing up the ladder to the plane trying to save them when it blew. He's terribly injured, he might not make it."
"I can't believe this," she said. By then her eyes had already poured out a puddle of tears.
"Theresa what's wrong?" asked Luis.
"The plane exploded with my baby and Gwen still on it."
Whitney looked like she would faint, "What about… What about?"
"Fox wasn't on the plane but he was terribly injured and might not make it."
"O no," tears began to pour from Whitney's eyes.
"Theresa are you going to be okay?" Ethan asked.
"I'm not sure Ethan," Theresa managed to choke out between tears.
"To answer your question Ethan. No I'm not going to be okay."
