Chapter 32:

The Battle Is Over, But Not The War

A/N: This story is a long running thing as many of you know, therefore I'm not going to write in the whole TC knowing about Evian, so in this story TC has no clue about them or there past neither does Twit. BTW, I scratched out the whole Janet and Kat spoilers I decide to do something else totally different. Plz, review, I ain't been getting many from this, and if it keeps up I'm either going to end it quick or just drop it, which right now I don't want to do either because I have some good stuff planned and some new characters who I had in mind of adding, which will really be quit interesting and will give you multiple couples to route for, oh and Sam ain't the only one coming between Therox for long and Janet ain't the only one coming between Dat (Dylan and Kat) for long, so if you want this story to continue plz, tell me.

Sam rushed out of the car, she had went with Theresa and threw on a old dress of hers and then jetted for the hospital, Running through the doors to were Ethan was, she silently prayed that Ethan be okay, she didn't know much about pray just what she'd saw on TV or what someone told her. Half the time she didn't believe in God. And if there was a God why did he punish her, she heard Fox talk one time about bad karma about what you do will come back and to haunt you if not in this lifetime then, the next. Past lives, she'd heard a lot of talk about that from, Fox. I appeared that his aunt Sheridan and Theresa's brother Luis had shared 50/11 past lives, on the Titanic, back in the pirate days and at one point Sheridan was Cleopatra. She found it hard to believe, but Fox swore up and down Luis and Sheridan showed him proof.

"Fox…", Sam yelled, running up to him and Julian.

"Is Ethan…", Sam asked.

"It don't look good. He's lost a lot of blood and his spin is fractured. He was dead set on protecting you.", Fox told her.

"If he lives he may very well be paralyzed for the rest of his life.", Julian went on.

"Says who?", Sam asked.

"Doctor Russell.", Fox told her.

"Oh.", Sam told him.

"Can I go see him?", Sam asked.

"Eve…", Julian asked.

"Yes.", she replied.

"Can, Samantha go see Ethan?", Julian asked.

"Yes, but make it quick Ethan is under a lot of stress, it a wonder he's made it this long.", Eve told her, Sam nodded, then ran behind the curtain where Ethan lay.

"If I didn't know better I'd say…", Julian began.

"That she's in love with him?", Theresa finished coming up behind them.

"Yeah.", Julian replied.

"She is.", Theresa smiled, then turned to Fox. "How's Dylan, and Ethan?"

"Dylan's in a coma seems the impact knocked him out cold and Ethan has a 78 of being paralyzed from the waist down.", Fox told her.

"I'm glad you're alright.", Theresa told him.

"And, I'm glad you're not hurt too.", Fox told her. "I can't bare it if I lost you."

"Me either, Fox I love you and I will never stop.", Theresa told him kissing his lips.

Julian smiled at them. "I need to go, I need to check on Kat."

Fox nodded and then turned back to Theresa. "I'm sorry, Please forgive me."

"I forgive you, but if you ever do that again I'll kill you.", Theresa told him.

"Deal.", Fox told her, smile down at her.

"Nice to see twiddle dee and twiddle dummier have rekindled.", Rachel walked up to them.

"Rachel, do you ever…", Fox began.

"What, I'm happy for you. Theresa's even more stupider than I originally thought. She forgave you for screwing your mistress and now all is well in the Fox and Theresa fairytale lie, that is till Nicholas decides to fuck around on you.", Rachel smiled self absurdly.

"Rachel…",Fox began.

"Truth hurts don't it.?", Rachel asked.

"God, Rachel, why don't you just shut up?", Theresa asked.

"Theresa, if I don't tell you the truth then no one will. See, everyone in this family has apparently turned a blind eye to Fox worth's behavior.", Rachel told her.

"Why are you even here? You don't act like you even care for Ethan or Dylan? You claim to love him, and here you are harassing me and my wife, why don't you go play friend to him for awhile or at least act lie your concerned for him or Ethan?", Fox suggested.

"I never claimed to love Dylan, yeah, I love his body, his nice, hot, firm, luscious body.", Rachel smirked. "now, wouldn't you just love a night with Dylan, Theresa?"

Theresa's eye got big and she stood there shocked at Rachel's words.

"Wow, she ant saying no.", Rachel cooed, causing her brother to become angry.

"Of course not, Rachel I love…", Theresa began.

"What's love got to do with it?", Rachel asked.

"Rachel, you're push it.", Fox warned.

Rachel laughed then turned to Theresa. "What would it hurt to step out on this one, hell he'll be doing that a lot to you. Every little hottie he sees he'll have the urge to bed.", with that she was gone.

"Rachel doesn't know what she's talking about.", Fox reassured her.

Theresa nodded. "And, I don't want Dylan at all not in bed or as a possible lover."

"I know.", Fox replied.

"Eve?", Julian asked, walking up behind her.

"Julian you have to stop doing that.", Eve told him, turning around and running into the arms of her lover.

"So, tell me Jules how is Fox and Theresa, are they back together?", Eve asked, kissing his lips, she couldn't help it she loved the man that stood in front of her.

"Yes, and I don't think that we should worry about Sam coming between them, the girls head over heels in love with Ethan.", Julian told her.

"Sam?", Eve asked.

"Yes, I think the two of them have been lovers for quite sometime.", Julian told her.

"You mean in secret, just like we are?", Eve asked, putting her arms around his neck so that his eye were looking directly into her brown ones.

"Eve, I promise you, we aren't going to have to go along like this much longer, I'll find away for us to be together.", Julian told her.

"Oh, Julian.", Eve exclaimed.

"I swear it my love.", Julian told her.

"What about TC and the girls?", Eve asked.

"TC will get over it and well Whitney and Simone are old enough now to understand.", Julian told her.

"Doctor Russell…",Kathelina began walking in the door.

"Oh, I'm…Daddy?", Kathelina asked.

"Katherine, it's not what you…", Julian began.

"It's okay.", Kathelina told him. "You deserve to be happy dad, besides I think I've figured something out, she's your mysterious tape isn't she. I mean she's the beautiful singer that Nicholas, Ethan, Rachel and I have heard you listening to."

Julian nodded, tears welled up in his eyes. "Yes, Katherine."

"Oh My…Wow. Congratulations guys.", Kathelina smiled.

"Kathelina, please don't tell no one, at least not yet.", Eve told her.

"I'll make you a deal, let me stay with Dylan and I'll stay quit.", Kathelina told her.

"Katherine, please don't blackmail us.", Julian told her.

"Daddy, please I…", Kathelina began.

"Sure, Kathelina, you can stay.", Eve told her.

"Thank you.", Kathelina replied, giving her father and his lady love a small smile.

"Ethan…", Sam began sitting down in the chair beside the bed were he lay lifeless.

"God, I hate seeing you like this.", Sam told him. "I can't bear to lose you remember that night we first made love? Ethan, I've been with a lot of men, but none of them has ever made me feel so alive. I love you…I loved you then and I love you even more now.", sighing she placed her hand in his.

"I just - I can't lose you. Not now at least, Ethan I'm…Please don't leave me.", Sam begged.

"Samantha?", Fox asked walking in catching her attention.

"Fox…", Sam breathed.

"He looks terrible don't he?", Fox asked walking over to her.

She nodded. "I- Fox I'll leave you alone with him, I know you probably…"

"No, stay, Sam I just came to check on him and you. I know you care for Ethan."

Sam looked at him. "I don't get you and Theresa, I mean if someone had broke apart my marriage I'd hate them and want them dead, but here you stand trying to be friends with me. Someone who doesn't deserve any sympathy and any kindness."

Fox nodded in agreement. "You deserve happiness."

Sam gave him a confused look.

"You and Ethan deserve to be happy together.", Fox replied.

"Thank you.", Sam replied.

"I want to ah - can you try to sweet talk the doctors into letting me stay with him?", Sam asked.

"I'll see what I can do.", he promised.

"Thank you.", Sam replied rapping her arms around him. "I'm so lucky to have you.

"Fox…", Theresa began, walking in on them hugging.

"What in the hell? I turn my back for one second and you go running back to your slut, and you my God, do you love Ethan or is he just another game to you.", Theresa asked.

"Theresa, it's not what you think, I was…I love Ethan okay, I love Fox too, but I'm not in love with him.", Sam explained.

"Sam, please, you've hung all over my husband since you came here, you know what I'm sick of this, if you want her and she wants you, by all means go for it, do it right here for all I care.", Theresa exclaimed, walking out.

"Theresa…", Fox called after her, but she wasn't going to stop for him, so he gave up and turned to Sam.

"Fox, I'm….", she began.

"Samantha, don't worry about it, Theresa will calm down, till then I ain't even going to even try to talk to her, she's too much of a hot head to really listen with out an argument.", Fox tells her. "I'll go see Eve, see if I can get you a free hospital stay.", he gives her a small smile.

Kathelina sighed then, turned to enter Dylan's cubical.

"Dylan, please you got to come back to me. I love you, baby. I never stopped, please you got to come back and let me re-earn your trust, your love, Dylan, please come back, my love, you have to come back and give me another shot.", Janet entwines his limp fingers with hers.

"Janet, get the hell away from him.", Kathelina exclaimed.

"Kathelina, I have ever right to be here, you're not his wife you can't have me removed.", Janet tells her.

"But, I can.", a voice comes from the door. "I can have you or the hot little blonde removed."

"And, just who in the hell are you?", Janet asked, looking at the tall dark haired man who gazed the door step.

"Daniel Banning, and you are?", he asks, she winched, she hated the man already.

"Janet Swansboro", she replied, giving him a smirk. He quickly scans the girl and turns to Kathelina. "And, you, babe?"

"Kathelina Joanna Crane.", Kat replied, eyeing the man.

"Well, you're more gorgeous than a rose, beauty.", he replied.

"I don't know whether to be thrilled or disguised, see I'm not impressed, I'm not impressed by your smirk, your flirtation, your clever and suave words of flattery.", Kathelina replied.

"Well, stubborn and beautiful, must say Dylan got himself a smart one this time, but what does it matter, your still a very good looking piece of…", he begins.

"Watch it would you, see I have 2 brothers who would gratefully kick your ass.", she replied.

"Now why, would you do that, if you play it right, you'll be the next one to ah have this…", he begins.

"Not interested.", Kathelina replied.

"Guess so, you don't know no a real man when you see it.", he replied.

"Yeah, well, I know a boy when I see him, and you my friend are a little boy trying to play a man, but well you got a lot of growing in many areas.", Kathelina replied.

"Ouch, her bark ain't as bad as her bite.", he smirks. "So, how old are you, 12, 13?", he smirks.

"18.", Kathelina replied.

"Okay, little girl.", he replied, automatically, he sees the way little girl pisses her off.

"I'm no little girl, you on the other hand…", she begins sizing him up.

"28.", he replied, "So yeah, in my eyes you're a little squirt."

"I don't have time for this.", she tells him, storming out.

Janet turns to him with a smirk. "What was that about, if I may ask?"

"Well, you may not ask. You think I'm going to confide in you? You may be a beauty but, I have the feeling you're a real bitch.", he tells her.

"Really?", Janet exclaims.

"Yeah, really, and from the way you're dressed you're a regular leg spreader in this town to.", Daniel replies.

"You, Oh My God, I never…", she begins.

"Refuse a customer.", he smirks, and walks off.

"Oh God, who in the hell does he think he is, how dare him….", Kathelina began.

"Kathelina, what's wrong?", Theresa asked.

"Do you ever want to kill a complete obnoxious stranger?", Kathelina asked.

"Besides Sam?", Theresa asked.

Kathelina offered her a small smile. "No, Daniel Banning, is in town, he's Dylan's older brother and he's a complete bastard, he….", Kathelina began.

"Hi there again.", Daniel greeted them.

Kathelina sighed. "Don't tell me you're a stalker to."

"Part time, the other time I'm a romancer.", he told her in a whispered, husky voice.

"Oh, why don't you just go away, far far away, here's an idea for you drive off the nearest bridge.", Kathelina told him.

"Aren't you the rude one, aren't you going to introduce me to your lady friend here?", he asked.

"Oh God.", Kathelina began.

"No that ain't my name but, I can make you holler that.", he smirked.

Theresa laughed. "Theresa Lopez- Fitzgerald Crane."

"Crane? Hmm, any relation to grumpy here?", he asked.

"She's married to my brother, Fox.", Kathelina told him.

"You just love talking to me don't you, beauty?", he asked.

"No, I just thought you'd be try to Mack on her to.", she replied. "Don't call me beauty."

"See, you got me all wrong, I don't go for brunets, I prefer luscious blondes, see you're wrong beauty.".", he winks at her.

"I'm dying my hair.", she sighs.

"Don't bother it won't help your appearance.", he tells her.

"Uh.", she growled out of frustration. "T, I'll see you."

"Buh-bye, beauty.", he replies.

She ignores him and walks off.

"Sorry, about that, I just well, she's fun, a little too young for my taste but, she's fun.", he replies., "The names Daniel by the way."

"Uh, God.", Kathelina sighed, walking back in to were Janet sat with Dylan.

"Get out.", she tells her.

"No, I have every right here, besides I had him first, so you get out.", Janet replies.

"I'm not in the mood for this Janet.", Kathelina replies.

"Too bad.", Janet tells her.

"Get out.", Daniel tells her from the door.

"Are you talking to me?", Janet asked.

"Yeah.", he smiles. "You heard beauty, she wants you out."

"I can't believe…", Janet begins.

"Well, believe it, I want you gone from my site.", he tells her, Janet places her hand on her hip. "Come on, honey you can't…"

"I am, see you can hike your skirt up to you panties, I still won't change my mind and if you're not out of my site in like 1 sec, I'm going to call security and have them escort your rap video extra reject ass from my brother's room.", he tells her, she collects her things and leave.

"Thank you.", Kathelina replied.
