Chapter 7 – The Airport

(EPOV)

I arrived back at Pilar's house to see that everyone was ready to go. I looked out the car window as they debated on who was riding with who. When I next looked out it was to see Luis, Fancy, Miguel and Kay coming to my car as Sam, Ivy, Pilar, Sheridan, Little Ethan and Antonio got into Sam's car. I looked at Luis as he said, "Ethan who did you get to fly us?" and I looked at him and said "Don't be mad Luis but I called Julian. Julian, Eve, Chad and Whitney will all be meeting us at the airport along with a Crane pilot." I looked over in time to see Luis nod and he sat back and closed his eyes. I took one last look at the window that belonged to Theresa's bedroom and drove off headed to the airport. I fiddled with the radio until I came across a song that I knew. As that song ended another one began that made me flashback to when I slept with Theresa a couple months ago.

***Flashback***

I was at the office and getting ready to leave when I heard a knock at my door and I yelled "Come in". I looked up to see Theresa standing in the doorway and I noticed that she had been crying. I couldn't help myself and I held my arms open and the next thing I know she is running into my arms and I wrap them around her holding her tight to me. I love the feel of her in my arms. I said "Theresa what is it sweetheart? What is wrong?" She just looked up at me and shook her head and turned away from me and stared out the window. I couldn't stand to see her looking so sad and dejected. I turned on the radio and switched the stations until a song I knew came on. I loved singing to Theresa so I waited to see since this song was almost over if another one would come on that I knew. I walked over and stood behind Theresa and put my arms around her waist. I leaned down and whispered "Theresa may I have this dance?" as another song I knew came on.

As we started dancing I looked her in the eyes and started to sing to her while we danced. Her eyes opened wide as she listened to me singing this song to her and I loved her even more at that minute than I did before.

Alone in this house again tonight
I got the TV on, the sound turned down and a bottle of wine
There's pictures of you and I on the walls around me
The way that it was and could have been surrounds me
I'll never get over you walkin' away

(Chorus:)
I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry

Would it help if I turned a sad song on
"All By Myself" would sure hit me hard now that you're gone
Or maybe unfold some old yellow lost love letters
It's gonna hurt bad before it gets better
But I'll never get over you by hidin' this way

I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with my pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry

I've never been the kind to ever let my feelings show
And I thought that bein' strong meant never losin' your self-control
But I'm just drunk enough to let go of my pain
To hell with this pride, let it fall like rain
From my eyes
Tonight I wanna cry

As I sang the last words of the song to her I leaned down as she lifted her head up and we kissed. I knew that I needed to stop but I just couldn't. I kept on kissing her and that led to more and the next thing I know we are on my couch in my office and making love.

***END OF FLASHBACK***

I came back to Earth as a horn blared. I looked to see I was about to pass the turnoff to the airport. Luis leaned over and said "Ethan are you sure your okay?" I couldn't help it at that point and I just said "No, Luis the song that was just on flashed me back to the night that I got your sister pregnant." I heard a gasp and then looked in the rear view mirror and saw that everyone had identical expressions on their faces. I could tell that they were all thinking about Theresa being pregnant and possibly dying and I just lost it. I yelled "GUYS SHE IS GOING TO BE OK!!! I LOVE HER AND I KNOW SHE WILL MAKE IT AND SO WILL OUR BABY!!!" They looked at me and nodded and they all said in unison "Yes, Ethan she will. With you in her corner how could she not?" I took a deep breath and parked. I saw Julian, Eve, Whitney, Chad, and Miles as I got out of the car. Julian saw me and started walking towards me with Eve following as Whitney and Chad stayed behind. Julian came up to me and gave me a hug and said "The pilot is doing his check list so as soon as we all board we will be ready to go. By the way Ethan I didn't tell Whitney yet but if you want when we all get in the plane I will be the one to tell her." I looked at Julian gratefully and said "Please tell her and the rest of them. I need to try to call the hospital and see how Theresa and my baby are doing." Julian nodded and I walked up the plane steps followed by Luis, Fancy, Kay, Miguel, Sam, Ivy, Pilar, Little Ethan, Sheridan, Antonio, Julian, Eve, Whitney and Chad holding Miles. We all sat down and buckled our seatbelts as the light flashed and the pilot announced "We are clear for take off." After we got in the air I unbuckled my seat belt and went and sat down further away from everyone and used the phone to call the hospital. I heard Julian start to talk and I turned further away so that I would be able to talk to the hospital.

(JPOV)

I nodded at Ethan as he got up after we were once in the air. Whitney looked around at everyone in the plane and then looked at me and said "Julian, what is going on? Why is everyone here?" I just looked at her and then slowly said "Whitney this is going to be hard to tell you but please sit there and listen to me before saying anything." Whitney looked around and then at me once again and said quietly "Alright Julian I will not interrupt you. Just please tell me what is going." I looked around the plane cabin and noticed that everyone was looking at me waiting to explain to Whitney and Chad what was going on.

I took a deep breath and said "Whitney, earlier today Theresa was in a car accident. We do not know the extent of her injuries yet but we will hopefully know soon. When she was in the car accident it came to light that she was pregnant. We all our flying to Los Angelas to go and be with her. Once we get there your mom will hopefully be able to help and we will learn even more." I heard Whitney gasp and then start to cry. I leaned forward to take Miles from Chad so that he could wrap his arms around Whitney and hold her. I bounced Miles up and down on my knee while subtly looking at Ethan and seeing that he was about to lose his cool I handed Miles to Eve and unbuckled my belt to go see what was the matter. When I unbuckled mine I noticed that Luis, Miguel, Sam, and Antonio also had unbuckled theirs and we all headed back to Ethan together. I tapped Ethan on the shoulder and he looked over his shoulder at me and I said "Ethan, what is going on? Why are you not talking to anyone on the phone?" I saw his eyes flash and then he said angrily "They will not tell me anything and they need to know what to put on the bill and whom to charge. Also the nurse keeps giving me the run around." I looked back and saw that Luis, Antonio, Miguel, and Sam all start to get angry and I motioned for the phone from Ethan when I heard a voice come back on the line.

Ethan handed me the phone and I said into the phone "This is Julian Crane and I will be paying for all of Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald's medical bills. Now why in the heck will you not tell Ethan anything?" I waited impatiently as the voice on the other end say "He is not family and I would have to have permission from her family to tell him anything." I looked at Luis and then handed him the phone and I said "Luis will you please tell this moron that Ethan is family to Theresa and that she can talk to him about her condition." I heard Luis chuckle at that as Sam and I both put our arms around Ethan's shoulders. I heard Luis say to the nurse "Ma'am this is Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald and the man named Ethan is allowed to know about her condition so he can inform all of us. We will be there in about 3 hours so I would appreciate it if you would please give him the update. Oh and one more thing he is family." I grinned at Luis who grinned back at me and we sat down next to Ethan as he talked to the nurse.

(EPOV)

I couldn't believe that Julian was willing to pay for Theresa's medical bills. I would have handled them but I'm grateful that he is so that I can focus on getting my divorce from the bitch Gwen and focus on helping Theresa get through this. When I heard Luis say "Oh and one more thing he is family" my mouth dropped open. I couldn't believe that everything that has went down between Theresa and me Luis still thought of me like a brother. I took the phone back and sat back down surrounded by the men I can honestly say are family to me. I said into the phone "This is Ethan Winthrop again and I want to know the condition of the woman I love Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald and I want to know it now." I went tense as I felt five hand descend down onto my shoulders and then I heard the nurse say "Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald and her babies are both stable. The only thing is Theresa is in a coma. She has a broken arm, 2 cracked ribs, a concussion, and several cuts." I gasped when I heard the word babies. I looked around at the men seated beside me and I went pale. I then finally caught my breath and said to the nurse "Excuse me did you just say Theresa and her babies as in baby but in the plural are stable?" I heard Luis and the rest of the guys gasp as the Nurse said "Yes, sir Miss Lopez-Fitzgerald is carrying twins which is why she started to bleed in the first place. Both of the babies heartbeats are strong. Is there anything else you would like to know?" I shook my head before I realalized she couldn't see the movement because I was on the phone and said into the phone "No thank you and we will be there within 3 hours." I closed the phone and hung my head. I heard Luis whisper to me "Ethan, we need you to tell us and the others what is wrong. Will you please come back and sit with all of us?" I just nodded and got up and headed back to my original seat.

I looked at everyone and then finally I found my voice and said "I have some news about Theresa. She and both of the babies are stable but she is in a coma. She has a broken arm, 2 cracked ribs, a concussion and several cuts the Nurse said." I sat there in shock until I heard everyone gasp and then I heard Pilar say "Theresa is pregnant with more than one baby?" I couldn't answer so all I did was shake my head yes. I then remembered what the nurse said and went on to tell everyone "The nurse said that her being pregnant with twins was the reason that she started to bleed in the first place. Also the Nurse said both babies heartbeats are strong." I felt my mom and Pilar both put their arms around me and I looked at them and smiled through my tears. It then started to sink in and I looked at my son and said "Little Ethan, son your mom is going to be ok and so will your brothers or sisters. I want you to know son that we will all be together as a family." Little Ethan got up and ran over to me and sat on my lap and said loudly "I know we will daddy and I love you." I could feel tears start in my eyes as I looked at him and said "I know you do and I love you too son." I pulled him closer for a hug and he went and sat back down. I couldn't wait until we land. I want to get to the hospital and see for myself that the love of my life and my kids were ok.
