Chapter Two
A cousin's fury, a friend's trust
An hour later Sonny arrived home to see the suitcases waiting by the door. He frowned and turned toward his wife. "Planning on going somewhere?"
"Those aren't mine. They belong to Resa," Carly said from the couch.
Sonny smiled. "She came for a visit! That's nice."
"No, Sonny. She left Harmony behind for good. She came here to start her life over," Carly told him.
"Why would she have to start her life over? I thought she was doing alright. She was on her way to getting Ethan Martin back with her," Sonny said.
"She'll explain it to you when she gets back. She went to Kelly's for a while to check in with some of her friends here," Carly said.
"Okay, I'll wait until she gets back," Sonny said, sitting down next to his wife.
Theresa entered Kelly's and immediately headed for the counter and none so gently got up on a stool and waited for a waitress to come to the counter.
Lucky walked down the stairs at that moment and noticed Theresa sitting by the counter. "Resa?"
Theresa turned and looked at her good friend. "Hi Lucky!" she greeted as she slowly got up off the stool.
Lucky walked the rest of the way toward his pregnant best friend and gently embraced her. "What brings you to Port Charles, Resa?"
"I need a new start, Lucky. A new life, away from Harmony," Theresa said from within the embrace.
"Why Resa?" Lucky asked from within the embrace. "Why did you need to leave Harmony for a new start?"
"It's a long story, Lucky. Let's just say I want to leave the past behind and start anew with my twins," Theresa told him.
"That doesn't tell me much, Resa. Something must have happened to make you decide to leave Harmony and want to start anew here. Come on, tell me," Lucky said, leading Theresa to a table and helping her sit down.
Theresa sighed. She knew that he wouldn't give up until he knew most of the story. "You know what I've been going through in Harmony, Lucky. You know about it."
"But there must have been something more that happened that made you leave," Lucky said, lightly grasping her hand.
"I told you that I was falling for Fox, right?" Theresa asked him.
"Yeah, and about the night you slept with him," Lucky said.
"Well, something came out of that night, Lucky. The twins are my children with Fox, not Ethan and Gwen's or Ethan and mine," Theresa told him.
"That's great!" Lucky exclaimed. "Have you told Fox?"
"No, I don't plan on it either," Theresa told him with determination.
"Why Resa? Why aren't you planning on telling him? He needs to know," Lucky told her.
"Because he doesn't love me! He loves Whitney!" Theresa exclaimed.
"What?"
"He loves Whitney. He's loved her all along. Our friendship was just a farce. He did it to get closer to Whitney," Theresa said with a sad-sounding sigh.
"Oh, Resa. I'm sorry. You're right. He doesn't deserve to know. I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better."
"There's one thing I can think of," came Sonny's voice from behind Lucky. He had been there since Theresa had given the good news about the twins. Theresa knew what her cousin was about to say. "Kill the bastard for breaking Resa's heart!" he exclaimed furiously.
"Sonny, no! You are going to leave him alone! Let him see how happy he can be with Whitney and then we'll see if anything actually comes of it," Theresa said as she rose from her chair.
"Yeah. Resa wants to start over. Leave this in the past, Sonny. Don't make it worse!" Lucky exclaimed to his former second father.
Sonny calmed a little bit before he sat down with them. "But he deserves…"
"Let it go! He'll get what he deserves when he finds out, years into the future, what he gave up by loving Whitney," Theresa said.
Sonny realized she had a point. Fox Crane would hurt more when he found out that his children were being raised without their father. "You're right, Resa. That will hurt him worse than killing him."
"I know something that would hurt him even worse. Knowing his children consider someone else to be their father," Lucky said.
"Lucky, what are you saying?" Theresa asked him in shock of what his statement implied.
"I'll be the twins' father. I'll take that responsibility," Lucky said with a smile.
Sonny smiled at Lucky for his noble gesture toward his cousin. Theresa, however, wasn't happy about it yet. She was still shocked that he would do this. "Lucky, are you serious? I don't know what to say. I…I can't ask you to do that," she said.
"Resa, I want to do this. And this is something I need to do for you. You've done so much for me. Let me do this for you," Lucky said.
Theresa finally smiled. "OK, but let's make this true in God's eyes, Lucky."
"You got it, Resa. We'll get married and make those twins and you true Spencers ASAP," Lucky said, knowing what Theresa meant.
Theresa smiled even more and then turned to her cousin. "Think you can get it arranged, Sonny?"
"Absolutely. Just a simple ceremony, right?" Sonny asked.
"A simple ceremony for now. Lucky and I can renew our vows in a more lavish ceremony after the twins are born," Theresa said.
"Any requests on the ceremony, Lucky?" Sonny asked.
"Just that you and Ric are both there for Resa. She needs both of you there," Lucky tells him.
"Do you want it in a church?" Sonny asked his cousin.
"Not if you can get a priest to do it at the penthouse," Theresa said.
"Or at my parent's house," Lucky suggested as well.
"I'll see what I can do," Sonny said.
"While you're doing that, Resa and I will go get our marriage license and get all that other stuff done that we need to do," Lucky said.
Sonny nodded and the three of them headed out of Kelly's with wedding preparations to take care of on their minds.
