She open her eyes, trying to focus them she saw Ethan looking out the window and Fox had his head on the dining table and a older man sitting on the recliner
"Ethan!"
"Theresa!" as he ran towards her lifted her up and twirl her around. "I am so glad to have you back!" he gently place her down she turned around to face him "Fox!" as she hugged him tight
"Hey Scarlett is good to see you again!"
"Yea it's good to be back!" smiled Theresa "Who's that!"
"Oh I am sorry!" said Ethan "This" as he walked her towards Jackson "This is Jackson Carmichael, he's Lindsey Biological father!"
Theresa didn't hesitated she grabbed the southern man in a warm embrace "Then I shall call you father!"
"Thank you Theresa, Thank you!" as Jackson held her closer
They parted Theresa still holding on to Jackson's hands "I don't know how to repay you!"
"Hey you helped my Lindsey out when she didn't have a prayer in the world and that is payment enough!" smiled Jackson "Take care of yourself!"
Theresa turned to Fox and Ethan "I want to see Ethan Jr." smiled Theresa at the thought of her son.
"He's with mother!" Smiled Ethan
"Mama!"
"No Theresa, my mother!"
"Ethan you're on speaking terms with her now!"
"Yea, I decided that I needed to cherish my time with the ones that I love, because you never know they will taken from you!" smiled Ethan "You know he misses his mother so much!"
Everyone gathered their coats even Jackson, and headed towards the Crane Mansion, standing on the steps of that house gave her chills that ran through her spine and down her legs, she remember the last night she spent in this house and it wasn't a happy memory, all she remember was she had to save Ethan, she had to!
"No, No, No!" cried Theresa
"Theresa!" as Ethan ran quickly to her as she dropped to the ground "What's the matter baby?"
"I can't, this house!" cried Theresa. Ethan sat there and rocked her back and forth while Fox looked on "Brother or no Brother Theresa will be mine!" thought Fox
"Ethan I just can't!"
"Baby, it's o.k. Gwen is gone, Rebecca she doesn't live here, Mother and Julian do!" smiled Ethan "It'll be o.k.!" he smiled
"Yea Theresa Ethan is right it'll be o.k. Well be here for you this time and all the time!" as Fox gave a reassuring smile
She didn't know if it was Fox's words combined with Ethan smile but she felt better, she wanted to face the demon that lived in this house, the memory of her death. She had been given a second chance and she's not going let anything spoil that!
"So you O.k.?" as Ethan looked at Theresa for approval "Ready to go in?"
Theresa just nodded
Ethan reached for the door handle and slowly opens the door "Ethan Jr. Where are you?"
Suddenly and out of no where this small little boy ran out and into his father's arms
"Daddy, Daddy, I miss you!"
"I know son I missed you too!"
"Look there is someone that I would like you to meet!" Ethan turned Ethan Jr. Around to face Theresa the little boy didn't need to be introduce he leapt into her arms
"Mommy, Mommy!" Theresa held her son and cried
Fox looked on, Ethan, Theresa and Ethan Jr. How was going to compete with that.
"Mommy, Please no go away, o.k. Stay with me and Daddy K mommy!"
Theresa looked at her son and smiled with tears in her eyes "I am not going anywhere kiddo!"
"THERESA!" they heard a voice yell, everyone turned around to see who it was
"IVY!"
"Theresa is that really you?"
"Yes!"
Ivy didn't hesitate she ran over to Theresa and gave a big welcome hug "How?" smiled Ivy
"Long Story!" smiled Ethan "But we are all glad to have her back!"
"Yea, forgot about how she got her and how she came back let's just be happy that she is back with us again!" smiled Fox
"Come on, you have to tell me what happen!" asked Ivy as she led the group to the living, she stop short and put her hand on Fox chest to stop him "Fox!"
"Yes mother!"
"You love her don't you?"
"Why do you say that?"
"I can see it in your eyes son!"
"Does it really show?"
"You know we have gotten closer over these last couple years and I have gotten to know you, and I know that you are hurting inside seeing Ethan and Theresa together, but I also see the spark of hope in your eyes!"
"Mother I love her so much that it hurts, to be around them, I mean don't get me wrong I am ecstatic that Theresa is back with us, but I love her so much and me and Ethan we are getting along so well I don't want to compromise our relationship, but mother I love her so much!"
"I know son!" as she embrace him "Even if you love a person so much that it hurts, sometimes it's always best to let them go!"
"But Mother how can I do that?"
"With time, Baby, with time!"
Fox and Ivy join Ethan and Theresa in the living room, Ivy got right on the phone and call everyone and invited them over but she didn't tell them why she didn't dare she wanted them to find out for themselves.
Ivy sat there contently listening to Ethan, Fox and Theresa story about how she came back, at first she thought it was a trick but they had convinced her that is wasn't, if she hadn't lived in Harmony for so long and hadn't seen the things that had took place here she wouldn't of believed it but she did, she was just so glad to have Theresa back! The door bell rung "Excuse me guys while I get the door" as she excused herself she knew who was at the door, when she open it she was greeted by Pilar, and Luis
"Ivy what's wrong is everything o.k. with Ethan Jr.?" asked Pilar who sounded like she just ran a 10 mile marathon
"No everything is fine!"
"Then why did you call us over!" asked Luis
"I wanted you to meet someone!" smiled Ivy "Come in Please!"
Pilar was the first one in the door and into the room what she saw there she couldn't believe "Dios Mio!" was Pilar's last words before she fainted
"Mama!" yelled Theresa as she ran towards her mother
Luis first instinct was to yell "Ivy I don't know what you are trying to pull by having a Theresa imposter her, we heard about the girl that is in Harmony that looks like Theresa!"
"Luis!" as she graciously held his arm "It's me Theresa!" she smiled "Please look into my eyes!"
It took Luis a moment he look contently into her eyes looking for that sparkle that he knew the real Theresa would have, his face started to form a big Chester Cat smile, he picked up Theresa and swirled her around "Theresa oh my god it is really you, But how?"
"THERESA!" she heard a voice yell "Is that really you, Is that really her Luis?" as Miguel turned to his big brother for an acknowledgment
"Yea, little bro it is her!"
Miguel ran over to Theresa and gave her a big hug "Please don't ever leave us again" he whispered
"I won't!"
Theresa sat her family and friends down and told them the story of Lindsey and how she sacrificed her life so that Theresa could be back with her family again. And this as she walked over to Lindsey Father "Is Jackson Carmichael, he's Lindsey father, and my new father!"
"Welcome to the father!" said Pilar as she gave him a big hug "Thank you for what you and your daughter has given us, how can we ever repay you?"
Jackson smiled "No it I who should repay you!"
"Theresa, what is he talking about!"
"Oh boy here we go again!" laughed Theresa "Come on everyone sit down so I tell you the who grueling story!" laughed Theresa
