Ivy looked at the sharpness of the razor that she held in her hand contemplating. So many things had taken her to this moment. Her loveless marriage, her life with out Sam, losing the title of Mrs. Julian Crane, knowing none of her children really wanted to ever see her again. However, she knew that committing such a sin as suicide would mean that she would spend the rest of her life burning in the flames of hell. As the thought crossed her mind she smirked some.

“As if I ever stood the chance of making it to heaven.” She said out loud. Her eyes then scrolled around the desk, and she saw her stationary and her pen. Dropping the razor she began to jot down a few words, nothing fancy. Just some thing that her children could have in remembrance of her. As she wrote down the words, she cursed herself for being weak allowing tears to fall from her eyes. As she rounded to the end of the letter, one of her tears fell directly on her name smudging it some, giving her a quick idea, she swiftly wrote it down.
 

After writing her closing, she placed the pen and the letter on the desk in plain sight where it could be seen. With a heavy sigh she lifted the razor again, and one more stubborn tear trickled from her eye down her face. Looking down at the letter, she smiled sadly. “Good bye my darlings.”
 

Theresa walked merrily down the stairs of the Crane Mansion with Ethan at her side. “Oh Ethan, I can not tell you how happy I am that things have worked out between us.” She stated as they reached the foyer.
 

Ethan nodded his head some. “Me too Theresa.” He stated. “I just wish that it had not have taken me so long to realize that you were the one that I loved and not Gwen.”
 

Sam who was with them smiled happily. “I am so happy for the both of you.” He stated. “I guess not matter how long true love gets side tracked it always finds it’s way back to the person most important to them. Just like I found Grace, just like you two found each other.”

As they walked with each other into the main room they quickly picked up on the fact that Sheridan was in Antonio’s arms and not Luis’s. Ethan looked at Theresa. “I guess they haven’t told him yet.” He said softly.
 

Theresa shook her head sadly. “I feel so bad for them.” She said squeezing Ethan’s hand tighter. “Especially Luis. I know what it feels like to watch the person you love in the arms of another, and feeling like their is nothing you can do about it.”
 

“Well I promise you that you won’t ever have to find out again.” Ethan stated.
 

The door bell ringing broke some of the tension in the room. “I’ll get it.” Pilar said walking from the main room to the foyer.
 

Sheridan looked down at her watch. “I wonder who that could be at such a late hour?” She said as they all ventured to the foyer to se who it was.
 

As they entered the foyer the were surprised to see Pilar embracing a young man, about in his early twenties, if not still a teenager. He had blonde hair, and blue eyes, and he had two rather large suit cases with him.
 

“Mama?” Luis questioned suspiciously. “Who is this?” He asked.
 

“Nicholas.” Ethan spoke up. “Wh-what are you doing here?” He asked referring to the new arrival.
 

Nicholas Foxworthy Crane smiled cockily at his brother after he and Pilar released each other. “What’s the matter Ethan?” He asked. “Has it been so long that you don’t even recognize your own brother.”

“Brother?” Sam questioned.

“Everyone,” Pilar spoke up seeing some peoples confusion. “This is Nicholas Crane, Julian and Ivy’s second.....forgive me, first born son. Together I mean.”
 

“Nicholas.” Sheridan smiled walking towards him and embracing him. “It is so good to see you again.”

“You too Sheridan.” Nicholas said excepting another hug. “It has been far too long since you’ve come to visit me.”
 

“I know.” Sheridan said some what sadly. “It’s just things have been really crazy of late and....”
 

Nicholas held up his hand after they embraced. “Hey say no more.” He stated. “I know.”
 

Sheridan shook her head as she smiled. “Trust me you have no idea.” She stated.
 

Nicholas smirked some. “You underestimate me yet again aunt Sheridan.” He gave her his trade mark cocky smile. “I thought you knew better.” Not giving her time to figure it out, he quickly looked at Theresa, titled his head some as to say he was examining her.

Theresa shifted nervously under his gaze. “Um, Hi.” She said with a some what nervous chuckle.

Nicholas smiled politely. “So what do you prefer?” He asked walking up to her. “Theresa or step mother?” He asked.

“Excuse me?” Theresa questioned.

“Well you are my fathers wife.” Nicholas stated.

“Wrong you are dear boy.” Rebecca Hotchkiss appeared from the back door, Julian with her. “Theresa is no longer Mrs. Crane.”

“So I am missing some thing?” Nicholas asked, he then looked to Julian. “Hey father, your looking...older.”
 

Julian smiled some. “Still the rebel my boy.” He stated. “You have your mothers sharp tongue.”
 

“What can I say?” Nicholas asked smiling.
 

Pilar walked over to her daughter. “Theresa, what is Rebecca talking about?” She asked. “How are you no longer Mrs. Crane?”
 

“Well Mama,” Theresa began. “As soon as Ethan told me we were getting back together, Julian immediately faxed over some divorce papers and I signed them, and walla. Theresa Lopez Fits Gerald is back again.”
 

Ethan looked at Julian suspiciously. “Where are these papers at Julian?” He asked. “I want to make sure that you have not pulled a fast one on Theresa and tried to keep her baby from getting any thing that rightfully belongs to him.”
 

Julian pretended to be wounded. “Perish the thought he is my own son.” He stated evoking a collective eye roll.
 

“The papers Julian.” Ethan ordered.

“Sorry they're gone.” Julian stated. “I faxed them straight to Harper and he will file them first thing in the morning.”

Ethan walked up to Julian. “Listen Julian,” He stated. “I hope that you are not trying to pull a face one over on Theresa, because if you are I will...”
 

Surprisingly Nicholas quickly jumped in front of his father. “Spare us the threats big bro.” He stated. “You can’t do a damn thing.”
 

“This is has nothing to do with you Nicholas.” Ethan stated.

“Incorrect.” Nicholas stated. “He’s my father, and if some thing concerns him, it concerns me so I do have some thing to do with it.”

“Nicholas.” Sheridan quickly cut in sensing the already built up tension. “Why don’t you go check on your mother, I am sure she’ll be happy to see you.” She said taking his hand.
 

Nicholas nodded his head, but gave his brother one more daring stare, and walked past him. T.C. shook his head some as Nicholas past him. “Just what this town needs.” He stated. “Another Crane.”
 

Gwen stopped as she passed Ivy’s door and looked back to it. “I suppose it would only be right that I say good bye to her.” She stated. “After all she was Ethan’s and mines biggest support besides mother.” Taking a heavy sigh, she knocked on Ivy’s door. “Ivy it’s me Gwen, can I come in.” There was no response. She knocked again. “Ivy, it’s Gwen I need to tell you some thing.” Still after a moment no reply. “Maybe she’s asleep.” She then looked down and saw in the crack of the door that the light was on. “May be not.” She stated. Cautiously she took the handle to Ivy’s door, and slowly opened it.
 

“Ivy,” She called inside the room. “It’s me Gwen can I.....” As she came in full view of the room, she saw Ivy. Laying on the floor lifelessly, blood trailing from her cut wrist, and at that moment, all she could do was scream.
 

“Oh my God Ivy!” She said rushing to the fallen woman’s side. “Ivy, what happened, can you hear me.” She asked as she went around and took her hand to fill for a pulse. “Oh God, oh no.” She said in a horrified breath. “Oh no.”
 

Suddenly a voice filled the room. “Mother I knew you’d be shocked to see me but I didn’t plan on....” Nicholas stopped dead in his tracks as his mother came into view. “Oh my God.” He said rushing to her side next to Gwen.

“Nicholas, what are you doing here?” Gwen asked shocked still holding Ivy’s hand.
 

“I just got in, Gwen what happened?” Nicholas asked frantically.
 

Gwen shook her head as tears poured from here eyes. “I don’t know I just found her.” She stated.
 

“Go get some one I’ll stay with her.” Nicholas ordered.
 

Gwen nodded and ran to Ivy’s phone and dialed the down stairs number.

In the foyer the phone rang causing Eve to look to it. “That must be Gwen.” She stated. “She must be finished with the test I gave her.” She walked over to the phone and answered it. “Hello.”

“Doctor Russell , it’s Gwen, you have to come to Ivy’s room quickly.” She said sobbing into the phone.
 

Eve looked curiously at the phone. “Why what's wrong?” She asked suspiciously.
 

“I’m not sure.” Gwen stated. “We found her in here, fallen from her wheel chair on the floor with blood on her wrist. I’m not sure, but...I think she tried to kill herself.”

“Oh my God!” Eve said shocked causing every one to look to her.

“What is it is some thing wrong with Gwen?” Rebecca rushed to her side.
 

“Gwen I am on my way.” Eve stated. “Just don’t move her.” She stated.
 

“Okay.” Gwen said and hung up the phone.
 

Nicholas looked to her with frantic eyes. “What did they say?” He asked.
 

“A doctor is on the way now.” Gwen answered. “She said not to move her though.”
 

Downstairs Eve turned back to the others in shock. “I have to get up stairs.” She stated.
 

“Is Gwen seriously ill?” Ethan asked is concern showing.
 

Eve shook her head sadly. “It’s your mother Ethan.” She stated grabbing her bag.
 

“My mother?” Ethan questioned nervously.

“What’s wrong with Ivy?” Sam asked walking closer to his son.
 

“Gwen said they found her up stairs with her wrist cut.” Eve informed causing the entire room to erupt in gasps. “It looks like a suicide.”
 

“Oh My God!” Ethan said not waiting for her and shooting up the stairs.
 

Eve rushed to Sam. “Call the hospital.” She ordered. “Tell them that we need an ambulance up here a.s.a.p.” Then she shot up the stairs right behind Ethan.
 

Sam turned to Pilar. “Pilar I should be with Ivy.” He stated. “Would you...”
 

Pilar nodded her head. “Of course Sam.” She said going over to the phone.

“I can’t believe this.” Sheridan said out loud. “Poor Ivy.”

Ethan burst in his mothers room, in time to see her in Nicholas arms. “Oh God no.” He said tears immediately springing into his eyes. “Please God no.”

Well I hope that you liked it. Please respond so that I can continue.
