"It's been 2 years son, 2 years today, 2 years since that awful night!" as a Father sat and told his son a story. It was a beautiful day the sun was shining the air was fresh and warm. They thought it would be a good day to visit her. " I never thought that in a million year you would leave me like this!" cried the Father. He sat there with his son "I was just telling our son the story of why you are not with us anymore, you know he is so smart for a 3 year old, he's just like you, everyday he ask about you and everyday I have to tell him what happen!" The father stood up and hand and hand him and his son left the cemetery and walk to the park "This was her favorite place!" as he looked down at his son "Mommy!" smiled the son "Yes, Mommy!" said the father. He continued on to tell his son the story of that awful night, he remembers it like it was yesterday
It was the awful night that all the secrets in Harmony had been revealed. Everything from the paternity to Gwen's affair with Noah came out that night. Gwen had gone crazy and brought a gun.
"You asshole, who are you to come here and disrupt everyone's lives like this!" yelled Gwen as she reach in her dress and pulled a gun.
No one could believe that Gwen would be capable of this kind of insanity. "Gwen! Give me the Gun please!" Begged Ethan
"No you bastard I hate you, I hate you all I especially hate YOU Theresa!"
"Gwen, Honey please, give Ethan the Gun!"
"No mother, this is the last time you tell me what to do!"
"Gwen I think it is best if you gave Ethan the Gun!" said Sam "Look if you don't want to give it to him, give it to me at least huh what do you say?"
"No, that cop talk won't work with me Chief Bennett you stay away from me I swear I will shoot!"
Sam Bennett tried to tackle her to the floor but it was to late. A shot fired the lights went out. A body fell to the floor…………………………………………………………….
"Someone turn on the light!" He heard someone yell "Is anyone hurt?"
"What is taking them so long to turn on the lights!" his head screamed a minute seem like an eternity, they all didn't know if everyone was o.k. until the lights came on "Finally!"
His heart dropped, his hands were shaking, his eyes never left the body on the floor, then in an instant he dropped to his knees and gently lifted her head on to his lap and rocked her back and fourth.
"Oh god no, Theresa you have to be o.k. please you have to for me for Little Ethan he needs you. Oh my god SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!"
Sam Bennett who had just finish handcuffing Gwen notice Ethan on the floor cradling Theresa
"Ethan!" as he ran to his son, Sam put his finger on her neck to check for a pulse "Ethan she's gone, I am sorry!"
"NO!" They heard someone yelled as Fox ran towards Ethan and Theresa "Oh god I am so sorry Theresa, I didn't think that it would have gone this far!"
"Get away from her!"
Fox didn't know what to do he wanted to hug her, tell her she was going to be o.k. but he knew that she was gone.
Ethan sat there for a few minutes cradling her until the medics arrived. He didn't want to let her go. "Why when we found each other again, why must you take her from me!"
Ethan looked over and notice that Pilar was frozen in place, Ethan walked over to her and hugged her he didn't say a word he just hugged her. Luis who was usually the one that kept his cool broke down in tears, Sheridan and Antonio were comforting Luis or better Sheridan was comforting Both of them, Ivy who didn't know what to do wheeled her wheelchair over to Pilar and hugged her also.
Fox watched as the events unfolded, it seemed like everything was going in slow motion, nothing seemed real, he couldn't fathom the fact that Theresa was gone he never even got a chance to tell her that he loved her and that what he had said at the hospital that was not true. He didn't mean it, but the thought of Theresa being gone and him not having a chance to tell her that he was sorry hurt him more than anything.
Miguel and Charity were comforting each other. No one thought that it was Theresa that had gotten shot but by the looks of it the bullet was meant for Ethan somehow it seem that Theresa knew that and stepped right in front of it.
Gwen was hauled of by the police and that night had come to an tragic end! The days following the ordeal was difficult for both Ethan and Fox they had both loved this woman. The funeral was lovely, everyone in town showed up even Alister. Julian even as cold and heartless as he was came and gave his condolences. Theresa was buried next to her Father
The months that followed were really tough on Ethan and Little Ethan, Fox took it hard too. One day while out Ethan decided to stop in the Crane Mansion, seems that his mother and Julian had reconcile their differences and gotten back together. And he wanted to do the same it would have been what Theresa wanted. Ivy was glad to see Ethan. But he look horrible
"Ethan, What are you doing here!"
"Mother!"
"I had a dream about her last night again!"
"Again, how many have you had?"
"A lot but this one was different, she came to me and told me to make amends with you!"
"SO I am here to forgive you!"
"Oh Ethan, I have miss you so, and I also miss her too!"
" I know mother I miss her too!" Cried Ethan. It was getting harder and harder for him everyday and Ivy could see that
"Hey why don't I take my Grandson today and you take the day off and go out have some fun!"
"Are you sure mother!"
"Yes of course!"
Ethan walked that all he could do, he walked to all the favorite places him and Theresa had been too. Everything reminded him of her. But he didn't mind it at all. Before he knew it he was at the BookCafe. He open the door and walked in he was greeted by Chad and Whitney they own the place together. Since Beth was gone now!
"Hey Ethan, What's up long time no See!"
"Yea I know, Can I have a Latte and a blueberry muffin!"
"Yea no problem!" said Chad as he moved to make Ethan's order "Hey you know that we all miss her too right!"
"Yea!"
"Ethan found a spot and sat down. He was reading a newspaper when he heard a voice "Hey long time no see!"
When he looked up he was facing HIM "Hey Fox what are you doing here?"
"I don't know I thought I would find you here. Look I think that we should make amends!"
Ethan looked up and saw that his brother was truly sincere "Yea your right!" as Ethan extended his hand towards Fox
"FRIENDS!"
"You know Ethan I loved her too and I miss her terribly!"
"I know Fox I know!"
"So do you mind if I join you?"
"No go ahead!"
From then on Fox and Ethan had become close almost best friends. Fox had even established a relationship with his mother and father. "Oh god Theresa I wish you could see little Ethan now!"
Two years and it was still very hard for him to cope but he had tons of support for Pilar, his mother, Luis, Sheridan, Miguel, Charity and Fox.
He knew that it was going to be difficult for him but he didn't realize how difficult. He missed her a lot but he knew that he had to move on. He took little Ethan 's hand and they were going to walk over to Fox's house. Ethan wasn't watching where he was walking and ran smack into someone sending that person flying to the floor. Ethan notice that little Ethan was still standing and went to see how the person that he had sent flying to the ground was doing
Her hair was over her face and she had a petite figure, she had very light brown hair that almost looked dirty blond in some spots.
"I am sorry!"
"It's o.k. I wasn't watching where I was going either" Ethan extended his hand and the stranger grabbed it, and lifted herself up. She threw back her hair.
Ethan's breath was caught in his chest!
"YOU!"
A/N: I know a lot of you are going to be disappointed that I killed off Theresa, sorry there is more to this story so please hold on it only gets better!
