All were happy and enjoying themselves. Theresa was so happy that she decided to stay. All was turning out great. She had the best family and they were are gathered in this room with there families and friends. Miguel and Charity looked like they were hiding something so Theresa moved over to see what was up. "Hey you two. What's going on?" "Hey Theresa." Charity said. "What do you mean what is going on?" Miguel asked. "Well you are over here whispering while the rest of the families are over there." "Miguel we should tell her." Charity said. "Ok, Ther--" "Excuse me but if I could have you attention please." Ethan interrupted. "I have something to say. Theresa oh there you are you and I have been through a lot together and now we have this family." "We're pregnant." Miguel whispered. "Will you marry me?" Ethan asked. And a load bang like a gun shot and Theresa fell to the floor blood pouring down her. Her mind was racing with everything that had just happened. 'Baby, Miguel and Charity are having a baby. Ethan, oh Ethan asked me to marry him. Yes Ethan I will marry you. Oh I can't wait. Ethan where are you? What is going on? I can't move. Help, Help please someone help.' She was then surrounded by white lights. "What is going on?" "Don't be afraid." A little girl said. Theresa looked and saw the girl and a boy standing next to her. "Where am I?" "This place is called in between." "Like Limbo?' Theresa said looking around. "Yes." "Who are you?" Theresa asked. "I am Sarah and this is Nathan." "Oh God am I dead?" "No, but you could be soon." "I don't want to die." "No one wants to but you are here because you have a choice to make." "Why are you here?" "We are waiting for mommy." Sarah said. There were a jumble of white lights and Theresa saw Gwen appearing. "Theresa?" Gwen said fully coming in. "What is going on?" Gwen asked. "Don't ask me. Ask them." Theresa said pointing to Sarah and Nathan. "Who are they?" "She is Sarah and he is Nathan." Theresa said. "My babies." Gwen said. She moved closer but they moved away from her. "What is going on. I am your mommy." Gwen said. "We are here to say goodbye." Sarah said. "What do you mean?" Theresa asked. "Mommy isn't coming with us." Nathan said. "Why?" Both Theresa and Gwen asked. "Because mommy is going to the place were bad souls go." Sarah said. "I'm not bad." Gwen said. She moved to them but they moved over to Theresa. "Please don't let her get us." Sarah asked taking her hand. "Get away from my children." Gwen said. "It's ok. I am here." Theresa said. "Can you tell me why your mommy is going to where bad souls go?" "Because mommy was bad and her fate has been chosen." Sarah said. "Mommy was bed." Gwen said. "Please I wasn't bad. It was her. She was bad." "Always blaming Theresa for your crimes will only show hw selfish you are." Faith said. "Grace?" Gwen said. "No, she is her twin Faith." Theresa said. "Yes I am. I am also the children's keeper until they are reunited with there families." "But I am there mom." Gwen said. "Yes, a bond that can never truly be broken, but like on Earth they were meant to be with you, they are not here." "But I want to be with my babies." Gwen said. "Theresa get away from them. This is your fault." "I did nothing." Theresa said, "Gwen yelling and demanding might of got you what you wanted on Earth but we are no longer there and you are no longer in charge." Faith said. "It's time." Nathan said. "Time for what?" Theresa asked. "Time for mommy to go." Theresa looked and saw Gwen surrounded by black lights. "Wait." Theresa said. "Why shouldn't Gwen be with her children?" "He fate has been chosen." Faith said. "But isn't fate part of our choosing?" "Theresa it is sweet of you to fight for Gwen but there is nothing we can do." "There has to be something. She has had so much pain and even she deserves to be happy once in her life." "Theresa Gwen has committed some of the biggest sins and there is no forgiveness to them." "But I forgive her for all the wrong she has done against me." "Theresa you are an Angel on Earth to forgive Gwen for all the wrongs she has done against you but Gwen has to face what she has done." The black lights consumed Gwen and she was gone. "What happens now?" Theresa asked. "You come with us." Sarah said. Nathan took her other hand and they began to walk closer to brighter lights. "Mama?" Little Ethan called. "Mama?" Jane called. "Jane, Little Ethan." She turned to see them looking at her. "My babies." "Theresa go to them." Sarah said. "What about you?" "We'll be fine and we will see you again someday." Nathan said. "Ok, be safe sweet one." Theresa gave then a kiss on the forehead and watched as they walked into the brighter lights with Faith. She turned back and walked towards the kids.
"Charge to 360." Eve said to the nurse. "Charging." The nurse replied. "Clear." Eve ordered and she shocked her. Beep, Beep, Beep. The monitor picked up Theresa heartbeat. "Ok, let's get her to the OR now." Eve said and they wheeled her out. Nine hours later Theresa had survived the surgery and was being wheeled into a room. Eve walked down to there the family was waiting. "Ok, Theresa survived the surgery. We had a lot to repair because the bullet fragmented and she has a long road ahead of her but she should recover." "Eve you said should." Pilar said. "In the ER Theresa stopped breathing so there could be brain damage and one of the fragments hit her spine." "Eve Theresa had spine problems after Jane was born." Ethan said. "I know, there is some swelling, but there is the possibility that she may not walk." "If she lives." Pilar said. "Look Theresa has the best doctors and the odds are in her favor. The next few days will tell us if there is any brain damage or spine." "Eve we want to see her." Martin said. "Ok, but only for a little while." She led them all down to her room and left them be.
Will Theresa wake up? If she does will she be able to walk or have any brain damage? Stay tuned.
