Chapter 9 – Seeing Theresa

(EPOV)

As we neared Theresa's hospital room I took in a deep breath. I wasn't sure what to expect even with what the Doctor had told us. I felt hands on my shoulders and I turned around to see my mom and dad standing behind me with their hands on my shoulders showing their support. I looked over at Pilar and held my hand out and said "Let's do this Pilar. Lets let her know we are here and that she is not alone. I can not do this without you Pilar. Lets help each other through this." I could feel tears threatening and I looked at Pilar who took my hand and said "Alright Ethan lets go see our girl." I took one more deep breath and then Pilar and I took a step forward into Theresa's hospital room together with my mom and dad behind me and with Luis, Fancy, Miguel, Kay, Antonio, Sheridan, Julian, Eve, Chad, Whitney, Miles and Little Ethan all right behind us. When I first looked at her I could not believe my eyes. The love of my life was laying in that hospital bed looking so pale. She was hooked up to a heart monitor, a baby monitor, and an oxygen machine. She also had an I.V. in her arm and bandages all around her leg and her right arm and hand was in a blue cast. On her head was gauze and it was wrapped around her head. I heard Pilar gasp and I squeezed her hand in reassurance and then let go of it to walk over to the bed.

When I got to Theresa's bedside I leaned down and kissed her on the top of her head and hen said "Theresa, I love you and you will be alright. The babies are doing good and our son is here too. You need to wake up and be with us all. I love you and I can not do this without you. I need you to show me how to be a father. I need you to show me that you still love me. Gwen told me everything Theresa and I am so sorry that I did not see what she was doing or see what she has become. You are my life Theresa and I need you like I need to breathe air to live. So please come back to me love. Please come back so we can be a family." As I was talking to her I grabbed her hand with one hand and placed my other hand on her stomach over our babies. I was so happy that she would be okay and that our babies were okay. I looked over my shoulder at my son and said "It is okay son you can come and talk to your mom. She will hear you. Just let her know that you are here for her." Little Ethan came up beside me and said through his tears "Mom I'm here and I love you. You need to wake up and come back to daddy, grandma, Uncle Luis and Aunt Fancy, Uncle Miguel and Aunt Kay, Uncle Antonio and Aunt Sharon and Grandma Ivy and Grandpa Sam and Uncle Julian and Aunt Eve and Uncle Chad and Aunt Whitney and cousin Miles. We all need you mommy. Please you need to wake up and come back to us." I looked down at my son and put my hand on his shoulder and said "She will son and it will be okay. You just have to believe."

I looked at Theresa and then back to everyone and then said "Eve will you check her over please? I know what the Doctor has said but I want to make sure that she is alright and I would be more comfortable if you checked her over." Eve looked at me and then said "Of course I will Ethan but I need you to step away from the bed so that I can get in there to look at her." I nodded and stepped back and turned around with tears in my eyes and Sam came up to me and hugged me and so did my mom. I hugged them both back and went to stand by Pilar and drew her into my arm and put my other arm around my son.

(EvePOV)

When I first walked into Theresa's hospital room I was shocked and I came to a stand still. I have never seen Theresa looking so pale even when she was pregnant with Little Ethan. I heard Ethan say, "Eve will you check her over please? I know what the Doctor has said but I want to make sure that she is alright and I would be more comfortable if you checked her over." I looked over at Ethan and saw the pain and the worry in his eyes and said "Of course I will Ethan but I need you to step away from the bed so that I can get in there to look at her." I saw Ethan step back so I stepped forward to check over my Goddaughter. I undid the gauze around her head and checked out her injury and then re-wrapped the gauze around her head. I then opened up her eyes to check to see if they were dilated. I then went on to check her pulse, blood pressure and the babies heartbeats. I also felt for the pulse in her hand and checked the cuts on her legs. That was when I noticed the bruise on her side and remembered that her ribs were cracked. I then checked her ribs carefully and stepped back from her. I turned towards Ethan and everyone else and said "Ethan and everyone what the Doctor said was right on. Although I think I will talk to him about bringing her out of her medically induced coma first thing tomorrow morning. With all of us here I think we can keep her calm enough and it would be best if they did not leave her in the coma for to long. She will make a full recovery and the babies heartbeats are both strong. I will also see about setting up and Ultra Sound so that you all can see for yourself that the babies are okay. Also during the Ultra Sound of the babies I'm going to look at her ribs. Since she is pregnant we can not do the normal X-Ray, CT Scan or MRI so I will look to see what her ribs are doing if anything if I can see them during the Ultra Sound." I looked at Ethan as I said this and saw the relief come into his eyes. I know that he is hurting right now and I hope that I was able to help relieve some f the worry and pain with what I just said.

I then make eye contact with each and everyone of my friends and my family and say "I think since we have all seen her we need to go to the hotel and rest up. Tomorrow is going to be a long and hard day so we will all need all the rest we can get. I don't want any of you arguing with me because I'm speaking as both a Doctor and a Friend." I looked around and everyone nodded. I heard Ethan go back up to Theresa and whisper "I love you baby and I will be back in a while. Please stay safe and remember I have always loved you and I always will." That brought tears to my eyes because I knew that Ethan loves Theresa with everything in him and he isn't afraid to show it.

Authors Note: I hope you guys liked the chapter. In the next chapter Eve will do an Ultra Sound of the babies. Also they will bring Theresa out of the coma. When she comes out will she know who she is or will she have lost her memory? Will she accept that Ethan truly does love her and want to be with her. Will she believe that her babies are truly okay? Stay tuned to find out!!!!
