So Ethan sat her bedside wanting to be the first face Theresa saw when she woke. Pilar and Martin kept the kids. Family would pop in every now and then to check on her, but she still hadn't woken up. It was three in the morning when she finally started to stir. Ethan called for Eve and she looked her over. Theresa felt like she was coming out of a long sleep. She felt restless and a bit sore. As she blinked her eyes opened she saw that she wasn't in her room. Then she saw Eve and Ethan looking down at her. "Who are you?" Theresa said in a whisper. "Theresa I am Dr. Eve Russell and this is Ethan Winthrop. You are at Harmony Hospital." "Why?" "You were shot about a months ago. You've been in a coma. Theresa can you tell me the year?" "Um, 1999." "Ok, I am going to step outside with Ethan and will call your parents." "I only have my mom." "Ok, well call her." Eve said. Theresa nodded and they left. She closed the door and turned to Ethan. "What is going on?" Ethan asked. "Theresa has amnesia." "This is the brain damage." "It could be. Look call Pilar and have her come over. Tell her she is awake and should get here soon." Ethan nodded and moved over to call. Fifteen minutes later Pilar and Martin arrived with Jane. She had been fussy and wouldn't stay with Miguel and Charity. "Theresa's awake." Martin said. "Yes." Eve said. "What is wrong?" Pilar asked. Ethan came down the hall. Jane started to cry. Ethan took Jane and she calmed do a quiet fuss. "Theresa has amnesia. She thinks it's the year 1999." Ethan left Eve to explain things to them. He walked down to Theresa's room. He knocked and she called for him to enter. "How are you felling?" Ethan asked sitting down with Jane. "I am a bit confused. I don't know you." "I used to be Ethan Crane." Theresa's eyes doubled. "Ethan Crane in my room." "Well I am not a Crane and my name is now Winthrop." "I take it there is a lot I have forgotten." Theresa said. "How do you know that?" Ethan asked. "The Magazine right there is date May 2006. I have missed seven years." "No you have lived seven years and now you just have to remember, but I can tell you it is going to be a long process." Jane started crying on Ethan's shoulder. "What is wrong with her?" Theresa asked. "She misses her mama." Ethan said. "Where is she?" "Her mama is you. She is our daughter." Theresa looked shocked. "You and I have a daughter?" "We have a son too. Ethan Martin is home with Miguel and Charity. Jane here has been fussy non stop since you were shot." "May I?" Theresa asked reaching for Jane. Ethan moved Jane into Theresa's arms and Theresa calmed her. Jane saw it was Theresa and felt safe. She cuddled right into her. She shifted her legs and cuddled with Jane. She didn't remember her but it felt so right for her to have Jane in her arms. Eve, Pilar and Martin came in and saw them. "Ethan?" Pilar said. "She knows there is seven years of her life missing but she was able to calm Jane." "Well that is a good sign." Eve said. "Theresa can you tell me how you feel?" "Well, I don't remember the last seven years but something tells me they have been both good and bad." "They have mejo." Pilar said moving over. "Eve could remembering hurt Theresa more then not?" Martin asked. "Who are you?" Theresa asked. "That is Martin." Pilar said. "Papa." Theresa said confused. "Theresa it is a long story that they can tell you tomorrow for now you should get some sleep." Eve said. "Can Ethan and Jane stay for a little while longer?" "Sure." Pilar and Martin kissed Theresa goodbye and they left with Eve. "Eve is there anything we can do?" Pilar asked. "We have to show her things from the past seven years. Things she has missed good and bad." "Ok, we'll get some things together and gather the family." Martin said. They left to get what thought they would need.
Theresa held Jane until she fell asleep and for a little longer afterwards. "Ethan can you tell me about us?" Theresa asked. "We beautiful are a long story. But you have always believed fate would bring us together and they have." "Something tells me we have a up and down relationship. That we have had a lot of good and a lot more bed." "We have. But one thing that has never changed is that I love you and you love me and we have this amazing family. Little Ethan and Jane bond us together as well as the unique love that will never let us stray to far from each other." "Sounds like a fairy tale." Theresa said. "One I would tell Jane." "You have told Jane our story. I think it is her favorite story. We may have to publish it so others can read it." Theresa laughed as Ethan did. "You should get her home. She is asleep and Dr. Russell says I need my rest to," "You are right. I will be back tomorrow morning with Jane and Little Ethan ok?" "Ok." She handed him Jane and she watched then leave. "How could I forget such an amazing story?" Theresa asked herself before she settled down to sleep. But not a restful one.
What are her dreams? Will she remember? What's in store for Theresa and Ethan love? Stay tuned.
