Chapter Three
One month later
Theresa stared out the window of the plane heading for Harmony. She had to go back to claim her son, but she was not looking forward to it. At least she wasn't going alone.
She turned her head and gazed at the young man that sat beside her. His strength of will was amazing. His brother was missing, but he was still willing to come with her and Alexis to Harmony. Poor Lucky, all the things he's gone though this past month and he's still willing to come to help me, she thought.
Lucky turned and smiled at her. He could hardly believe how supportive she had been in the past month. Having Nikolas missing and presumed dead for the second time in a month was hard on him. He loved the fact that she had been so supportive of him. He could see her as much more than a friend. He could see her as so much more.
The plane touched down at the Harmony Airport a few hours later. Lucky, Theresa, and Alexis stepped off the plane and left the airport as soon as they could. They had to work on a few things that night.
The three of them quickly rented a car and headed for the bed and breakfast where they were staying that night. Upon their arrival, the three stepped inside to find Miguel sitting on a bench in the foyer.
"Theresa, Lucky!" Miguel exclaimed as he got off the bench.
Theresa quickly hugged her brother. "Miguel, I've missed you."
"I've missed you too. I'm so glad that you're back," Miguel said with a smile.
"Well, I'm just back for the hearing, then I'm returning to Port Charles. My life is there now, not here in Harmony," Theresa told her brother.
"I understand. You definitely look happier than you did before you left," Miguel said.
"Well, I am definitely happier in Port Charles, even with all the things that have happened in the past month," Theresa said.
"Yeah, I heard about the fire and Nikolas's accident. He's still missing, right?" Miguel asked.
"Yes. The longer he's missing, the more it seems that we'll never find him or that he's dead," Lucky said from behind her.
"You'll find your brother, Lucky. Don't worry about that. You've always told me that Spencers never give up. So don't give up on finding your brother," Miguel said.
"I'm not planning on it, trust me. Just like Theresa won't give up on getting little Ethan back, I will not give up on finding my brother," Lucky said, the Spencer determination shining through.
Fox paced his room at the Crane Mansion. It had been a month since Theresa had left Harmony and him behind. And now he may have a chance to get her back. Tomorrow was the custody hearing for Little Ethan. He knew that she would be back for it and he wouldn't waste this opportunity. He was going to do everything he could to win her back.
Alistair came and stood in the doorway to his grandson's room and watched him pace for a few minutes. He knew what his grandson was so nervous about and he knew he might have to burst his bubble. He had seen Theresa enter the B&B with a young man. A young man that could be here new love.
Fox turned and noticed his grandfather standing in the doorway. "Is she here?" he asked.
"Theresa is here in Harmony, but she is not alone," Alistair told him.
"What do you mean she's not alone?" Fox asked.
"Her friend Lucky Spencer is with her," Ethan's voice came from behind Alistair. He walked into the room and faced his brother.
"I know who he is. She told me about Lucky. He's her best friend. I'm sure he came with her to support her, that's all," Fox said.
"She also has an older woman with her. I recognized her. Alexis Davis, one of the toughest lawyers on the east coast. Theresa must really want Little Ethan back. And I know she will," Ethan said.
"She never should've lost him in the first place. We know that now. If that bitch hadn't told father to do it, Little Ethan would still be with Theresa," Fox said vehemently.
"At least we know that she can no longer wreck havoc on anyone ever again," Alistair said. Indeed, a week before, they had all been in Paris, watching as Andrea and her thought-dead husband Cesar Faison were executed, Cesar by lethal injection, and Andrea by a very old technique, beheading.
Fox nodded. He was glad that she was gone. "Yeah, but there were so many things that she did that still need to be undone."
"One of those will be undone tomorrow. Little Ethan will be back with his mother, no matter what Gwen wants. She wants to keep him. She's still following through on Andrea's plan of revenge," Ethan said.
"Well, you don't have to worry. Theresa will have her son back," Alistair said/
Theresa was sitting on the bed of her room at the B&B as Lucky came in after he had finished his shower. She looked up and her breath caught in her throat. He looked so wonderful, standing there in just his boxers, towel drying his hair.
Lucky gazed at her, dressed in a light nightgown, which accentuated her features. She was beautiful. He dropped the towel and walked over to the bed to gaze more closely at her.
Theresa raised her head as he approached the bed and drank in the sight of him. His scent overwhelmed her as passion flared throughout her.
Passion flared in Lucky's eyes as he saw Theresa closing her eyes and raising herself off the bed to meet him.
Their lips met in a passionate lip lock. All logical thought left both of them as they surrendered to their passion.
Once there were stars out in the night
That never seemed to shine
And love was there for every heart
Seemed every heart but mine
That's how it seemed to be
Then darling you changed everything
Just when I thought I'd given up
Out walked loneliness
In walked love
In walked you
In walked all my dreams of coming true
In walked love
Right through my door
I saw your face and I knew
All I looked for I have found in you
I've found the one that I've been dreaming of
In walked love
I tossed my heart into the wind
I had thrown all hope away
Then love would ever let me in
And then you came my way
Just like a ray of light
That breaks the long cold night
Brought in a brand new morning sun
Out walked loneliness
In walked love
In walked you
In walked all my dreams of coming true
In walked love
Right through my door
I saw your face and I knew
All I looked for I have found in you
I've found the one that I've been dreaming of
In walked love
And now I'm free
How it feels to feel alive
Just one touch and I knew
I knew
In walked love
In walked you
In walked all my dreams of coming true
In walked love
Right through my door
I saw your face and I knew
All I looked for I have found in you
I've found the one that I've been dreaming of
In walked love (In Walked Love by Expose)
Theresa awoke the next morning nestled next to Lucky. She had never felt this good before after making love to either Fox or Ethan. Now she knew that what she had with Lucky was real.
Lucky stirred and planted a kiss on Theresa's shoulder and she turned to him. "Good morning."
"Good morning. Are you ready for today?" Lucky asked her.
"After last night, you bet. You gave me a lot of courage and love last night that I know will last me through the day," Theresa said.
"You did the same for me. You healed me last night, Theresa. I was able to put away the grief I still had from losing Summer. There is something special between us and I can't wait to explore it," Lucky said.
"I can't wait either. But first, we have a task to accomplish. We'd better get ready to go so that Alexis doesn't have to pound down the door," Theresa said, rising from the bed and heading toward her garment bag.
Lucky did the same and within an hour, both had showered and gotten dressed. Lucky had put his badge in the pocket of his suit, ready to rub that badge in Fox's face if he saw him.
They walked out of the room and headed downstairs where Alexis was waiting for them. "Did you two get a good night's sleep?" Alexis asked, giving them a knowing look. She could see something developing between then during the past month and she knew that they had finally acted on it.
"We slept just fine, Alexis," Lucky said. He could see that Alexis knew what they had done last night and he could see the approval in her eyes.
"Are you ready for today, Theresa?"
"Yes, I am. I am ready to get my son back," Theresa said with conviction.
