Chapter Three
One month later
Lucky slumped down into the chair beside Theresa's bed. She lay as still as could be, just like she had for the past month. She hadn't stirred at all other than some slight movement that was considered involuntary.
Sonny and Ric were working together to make sure that the young woman who had hit Theresa would pay for it. Indeed, as the young witness had believed, it was Sage Alcazar that had caused the accident. The young woman was in jail at the PCPD and her uncle Lorenzo Alcazar was trying to get her out without serving any time, but Sonny, Lucky, and Ric were not going to let that happen. Sage wasn't getting away with anything. Not this time.
Lucky reached out and lightly clutched her left hand and stroked it lovingly. In the past month, through his time spent with her, he had found himself falling in love with her. He hoped that somehow, one day, she would feel the same way about him, but he wouldn't push her. Her feelings for him beyond friendship had to develop on their own.
During the past month as well, Nikolas and Emily had grown closer, almost to the way they had been before the accident. Mary was trying to hold onto him, but wasn't successful, especially since he had regained some of his memories.
Liz and Ric seemed to be getting closer again in the past month, especially with Ric's vendetta against Sonny put aside for Theresa's sake. Sonny's animosity toward his half-brother had lessened due to their agreement. They were actually getting to know each other better and it was all for Theresa's sake.
Lucky kissed Theresa's hand and pushed a stray hair out of her face. "Resa, you know, you are being so stubborn right now. You have been like this for a month now, refusing to open your eyes because the pain is too much for you. But Monica says you've healed a lot in the past month. The only problems are your head injury and the swelling around your spinal cord. And we know you might not want to face what they may do to you, but we are all here for you, to help you deal with it. Please, Resa, come back to us."
Lucky laid his head on the side of the bed and cried. What happened next shocked him. A hand came up slowly and began to stroke his head slowly. When he felt it, he looked up and saw Theresa's eyes were open. She had woken up.
"Resa!" Lucky quietly exclaimed.
Theresa slowly looked around and then looked back at Lucky. "Am I in the hospital?" she asked him.
"Yes, you are at GH. Do you remember what happened?" Lucky asked her.
Theresa frowned as she thought. "Yeah, someone hit me. I don't know who or why they did it."
"Sage Alcazar hit you when she was drunk. She's down at the PCPD right now awaiting her trial. Sonny, Ric, and I are working together to make sure she pays for it," Lucky told her.
"Sonny and Ric, working together? I never thought I would hear that, ever," Theresa said.
"They're doing it for you. I'll be right back. I need to get Monica so she can check you out."
Theresa nodded as Lucky got up from the chair and left the room to get Monica. Theresa looked around and noticed that some of the things in the room looked somewhat blurry. She knew that could mean she had a head injury. She slowly tested her range of motion. She could move her arms alright, but she could not move her legs. That told her that she had some sort of lower back or spinal injury.
Lucky, Monica, and Sonny came in a minute later. "Resa!"
"Sonny!" Theresa exclaimed and Sonny ran toward her and embraced her tightly.
"Welcome back, Resa!" Sonny exclaimed.
"You know I wasn't going to leave. I have two sons I need to fight for. Gwen and Ethan are not going to keep them," Theresa told her cousin/
Monica walked forward and smiled. "You are a very lucky young woman, Theresa. Luckily, you are mostly healed from your minor injuries. There are just two injuries left."
"One is a head injury, right?" Theresa asked.
"Yes, and the other is an injury to your spinal cord. We are not totally sure what kind of injury it is, since there is swelling around it that blocks us from seeing the actual injury. So it could be just be a bruised spinal cord, or it could be severed," Monica explained to her.
"Which means I may never walk again," Theresa said, tears filling her eyes.
"Yes, Theresa. That is a possibility. And we are going to go on that assumption for now until we can truly see the injury. But you can still live a normal life that way. We'll definitely help you out any way we can," Monica told her.
"Thank you, Monica. It's just a lot to take in. They eyesight I can handle, but possibly not being able to walk again, that's another thing entirely. It's going to take a while to get used to that," Theresa said.
"And we'll be there to help you get used to it. You are not going through this alone," Lucky said, approaching her bed.
Theresa's eyes filled with tears again at the words of her best friend. "Thank you, Lucky. That means so much to me."
"You're my best friend, Theresa. I'd do anything for you," Lucky said, squeezing her hand lightly.
Theresa turned and looked into his blue eyes and could see all his love and caring for her there. A love that was deeper than anything she had ever seen with Ethan or Fox. A love she could see could be forever. The love she could feel in her coma for the past month. A love that started as well in her heart years ago. A simple crush that seemed to be turning into even more.
"Nothing! We've found absolutely nothing in the past month to use against Gwen or Rebecca to bet the boys back to Theresa!" exclaimed Chad, hitting his fist on his desk.
"You'd think we would have found something, right, bro?" Vanessa asked.
"Yeah, I can't believe we haven't found anything to use against them," Fox said from his desk in his and Chad's joint office at Crane Industries. The two brothers had made Alistair make them both heirs to the Crane fortune and it was working like a charm. The money coming into Crane had quadrupled and Alistair praised his grandsons everyday.
While Chad and Fox ran the company, Vanessa and Victoria were busy looking for anything that would bring Gwen and Rebecca to their knees and get the boys back to Theresa, but so far, they didn't have any luck.
"I can't believe we haven't found anything. Even Cora and Elisia haven't found anything to bring against those two to get the boys back to Theresa," Victoria said angrily. "There has to be something out there. Those boys need to be back with their mother."
"I guess we just have to keep looking," Vanessa said with a sigh.
