At the Hospital

Hearing the ambulance arrive at the Lopez-Fitzgerald home, Ethan breathes a sigh of relief. "Theresa, you hold on, you hear me? I need you..don't leave me." Rocking her back and forth in his arms, Ethan sends a prayer up. Please, God, I love Theresa. Please don't take her away from us.

After watching the paramedics take Theresa into the ambulance, Ethan looks at Little Ethan, and takes jane into his arms. "Okay, you two, let's go to see uncle Luis."

"Where's mom going, dad?"

"She has to go to the hospital."

"I want to go! I want to see mom!"

"Son, we can't right now, but as soon as mommy feels better, I promise to bring you there."

"Fine." Little Ethan says, sulking as he goes to Ethan's car.

After settling the kids with Sheridan and Luis, Ethan makes his way to the hospital.

Theresa, don't you dare leave me!

Finally making their way to the hospital, Ethan spots a doctor. "Excuse me, I'm looking for Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald."

"Who are you?"

"I'm her significant other, Ethan Winthrop."

"Go wait in the waiting room, the doctor will be right in to talk to you."

"Alright."

In the waiting room, Ethan continues to walk back and forth, when the doctor's presence startles him.

"Are you here for Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald?"

"Yes, I'm Ethan Winthrop. Please, tell me, is she alright?"

"Why don't we sit down?" The doctor says, pointing to the chairs.

Sitting down, Ethan sighs. "So, what do you have to tell me?"

"Miss Lopez-Fitzgerald suffer some broken ribs from the earthquake. She also has a gash behind her head that swelled, so we're monitoring that to make sure that her brain is not affected…." As he says this, the doctor looks away..

"Is she going to make it?"

"Well, Miss Lopez-Fitzgerald…"

"What? Tell me!"

"She's in a coma, Mr. Winthrop. The gash behind her head bled faster than we could control. It'll take a miracle for her to come to."

Feeling fury run through his blood, Ethan grabs the doctor's shirt and pushes him to Ethan's face. "You listen to me, that woman is my LIFE. I refuse to let her leave me, or our children. I want you to do EVERYTHING you can to get her back to me, do you understand?"

"Yes, sir."

"Can I see her?"

"Well, we really don't.."

"Look, please, I need to help her come back to us. Please."

"Alright, sir, you can go see her."

"Thank you." Theresa, don't leave me now!
