To maliek and svata, thank you for the great reviews!
And without further delay, here is chapter six
Chapter Six
Theresa's screech rang throughout the area and caused Lucky to come running. When he entered Theresa's room and saw her on the floor and turned slightly and saw Mary standing on the other side of the bed. Fury filled him and he lunged forward, grabbing Mary and pinning her to the wall. Sonny came into the room a moment later and saw Theresa on the floor.
"What happened?" Sonny asked.
"Mary pushed Theresa off her bed. I heard her scream out in pain as she hit the floor," Lucky said from where he had Mary pinned.
Sonny slowly picks up Theresa and places her back on her bed. He picks up the blanket and covers her up before going over and facing Mary. Lucky lets her go and goes over to Theresa's side and embraces her while Sonny begins to interrogate Mary.
Theresa breathes deeply as she tried to bring her pain under control. She hurt so bad, feeling pain all over her body, including…
"Oh my god! Lucky, I can feel my legs! I can feel my legs!" Theresa exclaimed.
"Are you sure?" Lucky asked astonished. He couldn't believe what Theresa had just said.
"Yes, I can feel them! The fall must have dislodged some of the swelling which took the pressure off my spinal cord."
Lucky nodded. "You're probably right. I'll go get Monica and we'll get it checked out," he said before he left the room.
A moment later Monica came into the room with Theresa's file in her hands. "Theresa, Lucky told me what happened. Do you feel anything else wrong?"
"Not right now, other than the pain from the fall," Theresa said.
"That's good. Well, let's go check out and see what's going on," Monica said.
Theresa nodded as she got in her wheelchair and Monica wheeled her down the hall, while Lucky went over to where Sonny still had Mary pinned.
"How dare you do that to Theresa!" Lucky exclaimed.
Mary shook in fear at the two men before her. She had no idea that Theresa was the cousin of one of the biggest mob bosses on the east coast or that she was under the protection of one of PC's best cops.
"I'm sorry, but if she would've agreed to help me with Connor…"
"There is no Connor, Mary. There is only Nikolas and he is where he belongs. You are nothing to him now," Lucky said, a furious note in his voice.
"But he was becoming…"
"No, he wasn't. He could never be Connor. Only Connor can be Connor. And he is dead! His body is finally on its way home. It's time for you to face the facts. Connor is dead and there is nothing you can do to change that," Sonny said.
Ric came into the room at that moment and saw that his brother and Lucky had Mary pinned to the wall. "What is going on here?"
"Mary pushed Resa off the bed. She caused Resa enough pain in the past few minutes," Sonny said.
"Well, Lucky, what are you waiting for? You know the charge," Ric said.
Lucky smiled and pulled out his handcuffs. "Mary Bishop, you are under arrest. You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you…"
Theresa waited in her wheelchair by the nurses' station, waiting for the results of the tests Monica had done. She watched as Lucky's partner Devon headed down the hall and a minute later came back with a handcuffed Mary. She smiled. Sonny, Lucky, and Ric were not going to let anyone get away with hurting her.
Lucky came up to her at that moment and kissed her cheek. "So, what did the tests say?"
"I don't know because we're still waiting on the results. But I know I'll be fine. I will walk again," Theresa proclaimed.
"Yes, you will," Monica said, test results in hand. "According to the scan, your spinal cord is just bruised, not severed. We'll start you on that part of the physical therapy in a few days."
Theresa smiled brightly at the good news. She turned and quickly kissed Lucky happily. He kissed her back passionately and she responded.
Monica smiled at the young man and woman before her. For years, she had seen the potential for a relationship other than friendship between the two of them and she was glad that they were taking the chance and pursuing that type of relationship.
Lucky rose from the kiss and pushed the wheelchair back to Theresa's room where Sonny and Ric were waiting.
"You ok, Resa? Lucky said you had a pretty nasty fall," Ric said, crouching before her chair.
"I'm more than OK, Ric. The fall dislodged some of the swelling around my spinal cord. They could tell what type of injury it was and happily, it wasn't serious. My spinal cord is just bruised. I can feel my legs now and Monica said that I will walk again," Theresa said with a smile on her face.
Tears filled Ric's eyes at the news. A smile spread across his face as he launched forward and embraced his cousin. "Oh, Resa! That is the best news!"
"Yes it is! Oh, Resa, I am so happy for you," Sonny said as he embraced Resa as Ric still had his hold on her.
Theresa smiled. She was glad that her cousins had finally begun to act like family. They understood each other better now.
Fox dressed in a white sweater and khakis, getting ready for his double date with Elisia, Cora, and Chad. The four of them were going to the Seascape for dinner and dancing. The four of them together were celebrating the upcoming downfall of the Hotchkiss witches and the opening of their spouses eyes to what both women had been hiding from them.
He smiled at his reflection. He was enjoying the time he had been spending with Elisia and it was obvious that she was enjoying it too. It was true. Fox seemed to be falling in love with Elisia McKay.
A knock sounded on the door and Fox opened it to his brother, at least the only one he claimed right now, Chad.
"Hey, bro! You ready for tonight?" Chad asked.
"Yeah, a night of celebrating to be followed by the downfall of Gwen and Rebecca, and the return of Matthew and EM to their mother," Fox said as he grabbed his brown suede jacket.
"Yeah. Theresa will be so happy to have the boys back," Chad said. The two brothers headed downstairs to where both young women were waiting for them.
"Hey, handsome. Ready to have some fun?" Elisia asked before embracing Fox and kissing him.
"You'd better believe it. Let's go!" Fox exclaimed as the four of them left the mansion.
