Chapter 39 - Devestation

Fox had been at home waiting for Theresa phone call all day, it was 6:00 pm and Ash...Francesca whatever her name was had not gotten home either, Fox wanted to confront her and let her know that it was over between them and that he did not want anything to do with her, he waited for what seem to be an eternity so he decided that since it was such a nice night that he was going to go for a drive, Fox had made it down the hill when he notice flashing red and yellow lights and a cop stopped him

"Officer...What happen here?"

"There's been an accident sir!" said the cop "Looks like this car..." as he pointed to the white BMW "Was run off the road!"

"The young lady was rushed to the Harmony Hospital... Looks like she might not make it!"

"Did you catch the person who did it?"

"Yea she is in the back of the patrol car!"

Fox notice the other cop wave "Hey looks like you can pass Mr. Crane...Have a good night!"

"Thanks!" Fox drove slowly as he glanced over to the patrol car and notice that the person in the back of the patrol car was Francesca, Fox then glanced over to his right and notice a sticker that said "Baby On Board" Fox quickly put his foot on the brake and quickly ran out of his car, he ran straight for the cop that he had spoken to earlier

"The...Girl...that was in the other car" he said out of breath "Was she pregnant?"

"Yes!" the cop answered "Why?"

Fox did not wait to give him the answer, Fox ran back in his car, grabbed his cell phone and press the speed dial.

"Theresa!" he heard the voice on the other line answer

"No, It's Fox...Meet me at Harmony Hospital!"

Fox hung up the phone and rushed to the hospital he said a little prayer "GOD PLEASE KEEP THERESA SAFE!"

The only thing running through Fox's mind was getting to the hospital and getting there as fast as he could, he ran every red light he even almost hit a guy crossing the street. He didn't even bother stopping to see if the guy was o.k. He had more important matters to attend to. He reached his radio knob and turned it on....

Sick and Tired of this world
There's no more air
Trippin' over myself
Goin' nowhere
Waiting
Suffocating
No direction
And I took a dive

And on the way down
I saw you
And you saved me
From myself
And I won't forget
The way you loved me
On the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held onto you

His mind drifted on Theresa, her smile, her laugh, the way her lips curl up in a pout when she wanted you to do something for her.....

I've been wondering why
It's only me
Have you always been inside
Waiting to breathe
It's alright
Sunlight
On my face
I wake up and yeah, I'm alive

'cause on the way down
I saw you
And you saved me
From myself
And I won't forget
The way you loved me
On the way down
I almost fell right through
But I held onto you

Then his mind drifted on how stupid Ethan was, to throw away someone, something so special like that it was hard for him to fathom. He had it good, great wife, wonderful kid, and another one on the way. He had what most people, look for everyday... He had the American dream, and then in an instance, he lost it all, he didn't know what drove a person like Ethan to cheat, he had the perfect life.... True Fox he was no saint himself... But he did make a promise that if he ever was to settle down his cheating days were over, all he wanted to do was make Theresa happy, at the time she told him that it was best if her and Ethan stayed together for Lil Ethan's sake....

Before he knew it Fox finally made it to the hospital, he didn't bother to park his car in the designated parking area, he just pulled right up the front and ran out and through the double doors, he ran straight to the nurse's station, a stubbly nurse greeted him

"Can I help you Sir?" as she looked up from her paper work

"I am looking for a Theresa Winthrop!" he said out of breath "She was brought in...!"

"Oh yes... The pregnant women....!" As she hesitated "Are you family Sir?"

"I am her brother in law!"

"Maybe I should get the doctor for you!"

"Why....!" Screamed Fox "Why can't you just tell me where she is?"

"Sir...!" as she walked around from the deck and putting her hands up to calm him "This is a hospital, you are going to have to keep your voice down!" as she led him to some seats "Please let me go get the doctor for you and she can tell you more!" The nurse walked back to her station and pick up the intercom

"Dr. Russell" he heard the nurse call out on the intercom "Dr. Russell...Please report to Nurse's Station 1 please!" The nurse looked over to Fox and nodded he responded by mouthing "Thank you!"

Fox nodded his head and took a seat, he was agitated he kept moving around he couldn't sit still "What is taking the Doctor so long!" he screamed

"Fox!" as he noticed Dr. Russell walking towards him "Fox I am sorry....!"

"Sorry for what Dr. Russell...!" as he interrupted her "Where is Theresa?...Is she o.k?...Can I see her?" as he babble on "Please tell me that she is o.k?" as he continued to pace back and forth "No she is o.k... Calm down Fox!" as he said to kind of reassure himself "Um... So where is she?"

"Fox I am sorry.... she didn't make it..." as she paused to wipe the tears in her eyes "Where's Ethan?"

"I....I....!" Fox said as he paced back and forth then he couldn't take it anymore his emotions go the better of him and he fell to his knees onto the hospital floor, and broke down. He had just seen her this morning, "WHY!" his mind screamed "Why had he not gone with her!"

"FOX....FOX....FOX....!" he heard a voice scream but he didn't bother to look up

"FOX...FOX..!" he felt someone shake him, he finally looked up and notice Ethan "Man you tell me to meet you at the hospital and I find you out here sleeping!"

Fox looked up at him and notice that...It was all a dream...There was still a chance that Theresa could still be alive...No she is alive! As he scolded himself for thinking like that

"Wait...Theresa...She's..." as he jumped out of the car "Ethan come on!" (A/N: Sorry I had to that....)

Ethan and Fox ran straight to the Nurse's Station, Fox notice that the nurse from his dream was standing right there before him..."OH GOD NO...!"

"No...What Fox?" asked Ethan

"Can I help you too?"

"Hi I am Ethan Winthrop...My wife...!"

"Oh yes...Let me call Dr. Russell for you...Please have a sit!"

"No this isn't happening?

"What are you talking about FOX?" screamed Ethan "I demand to know what is going on?"

"Ethan...Theresa was in an accident tonight... She was run off the road by Ashley!"

"No....!" said Ethan as he fell to his knees

"Dr. Russell!" screamed Fox "How is Theresa?"

"She fine...she just got out of surgery!" as she walked towards both men "Ethan...I am sorry...!"

"Sorry...Dr. Russell!" stammered Ethan "You said that she was o.k.!"

"She is...The baby...it didn't make it!" cried the Doctor "I am sorry!"

"Does Theresa know?" asked Ethan

"No...not yet she is still in recovery!"

"Can I see her?"

"Yea... I'll take you both to her room"

"Ethan..." said Fox "Look I am sorry!"

"No this isn't your fault...This is mine if I hadn't god....!" As he reprimanded himself "If I hadn't given into temptation!" he screamed "Our baby it would still be alive right now!"

"Ethan I might have had a hand in this!"

"What are you talking about FOX!" asked Ethan "How could you have known..."

"Theresa and I have been investigating Ashley/ Francesca for a while know...."

"So that is where she got the video tape....!" Screamed Ethan "Fox how could you..."

"NOOOOO!" they heard someone screamed

"Oh god it's Theresa!" as they both said

"Theresa!" yelled Ethan & Fox

A/N: So how do you like it so far.....
