D/C: I don't own Passions, which means I don't own Theresa, Ethan, or any
of their related characters. They are owned by some really rich people who
have taken them way too far, in my opinion.
A/N: This is my first attempt at a Passions fanfic, so please bear with me here.
Just so ya know, it takes place the fall after Theresa turns 20, and it comes out about Chad's (fathers', but not his mothers) paternity, so there is another Craine heir.
Theresa's POV
I had to get him out of there. No matter what, I had to take Little Ethan and get away from the hell he was born into.
Alastair finally let me talk to him alone. "Alastair, please. You have to listen to me. You have the heir you wanted, with three paternity tests to prove it. I just want to get out of Harmony and live with my son in peace," I begged.
He was silent for awhile. "You know that a Crane must be well-cared for, and I feel that you are sincere in your actions. I will allow the courts to settle your divorce from Julian, and you may take Little Ethan with you. I know my son can be an ass, so I know where you're coming from. Where would you take the baby, anyways?" he asked.
"I was accepted at the UCLA, and I think that a change in surroundings would be the best thing for everyone..." Theresa asked, but was interrupted.
"You want me to pay your tuition and to keep Julian away, am I correct?" he guessed.
"Mr. Crane, I just want to get away, maybe not forever, but long enough to sort my life out. If I can get a degree, then I could get a good job, and I wouldn't ask for anything, just that you keep Julian away. I wouldn't ask you if I didn't think it was important. I can even let you see Little Ethan whenever you want to, I swear!" I was starting to get jumpy.
"Well, all right. I'll keep the ass out of your hair, just until you graduate. I pay for your tuition, along with... a suitable living environment for you and the baby, along with keeping Julian away you, and you will come home to raise him in Harmony after you graduate. Do you swear that you can handle this? Last time you were away from Harmony, you got yourself pregnant," he said, obviously not really liking the new situation. But he realized that she was right, we had a Craine heir, and that's all I really wanted.
"I swear, Mr. Craine, nothing is going to go wrong this time," I told him, keeping a straght face.
"All right, now leave before I change my mind!" he called over her rushing to the door.
***********
"But Theresita, are you truly sure about this? Julian Crane will not be happy about this, I can assure you," Pilar shook her head at the mere thought of her little girl leaving her.
"Mama, I need to do this. You can come and visit us, any time you want. You, and Ethan, and my brothers... anyone but Julian," I told her, trying to get her to warm up to the subject.
It took all night to get her to agree to it, and I would have enough time to put my affairs in order before I left for the fall semester.
***********
If only they knew the real reason I'm leaving. Certainly I wanted to get away from Harmony, especially Julian Crane, but I was giving up on the faith which was once the bane of my existence. My heart broke a little more every time Ethan and Gwen kissed in front of me. Sure, Ethan wanted a big physical relationship, but why with Gwen? If only he knew what I knew, about her slutty ways and what really happened that night.
***********
I was all ready to go. My suitcases were packed, and now I was in Little Ethan's room, with Ethan helping me pack his things.
"Theresa, why are you going like this, all of a sudden," he asked, out of the blue.
"Look, you know about what happened. Between Julian and me, I mean. Plus, there's always the fact that you don't trust me, even though you know I would give my life for you. I can't live with that anymore, so I'm going to move on with my life. If not for me, then for Little Ethan. He deserves a better father than Julian Crane," I told him, holding back some tears.
"Can I at least come and visit you and Little Ethan when you get settled in?" he asked.
"It's okay, but you have to realize I'm moving on with my life. I just can't live like this anymore," I told him, a single tear falling from my eye. "I have to go now."
***********
The flight was way too long. Baby Ethan was asleep in a special seat, oblivious to the fact that he was flying in the air. I can't believe what he did before we left.
Flashback: Just before Theresa left
I was walking around Crane Manor for the last time. Little Ethan was playing with Ethan in the backyard. When I felt satisfied to leave, I went to give Ethan my final good-byes and to take my son.
Ethan gave me a tight hug and wished me luck.
"Come on, Little Ethan, what's my name?" he asked one last time.
"Daddy," he said clearly, as if it was his name, and reached his arms out to Ethan.
We looked at each other in disbelief. Little Ethan was still grabbing for him.
"Good-bye Ethan," I mustered up the last of my courage before I turned to leave.
End Flashback
I fell asleep over Michigan, with Mama holding my hand.
**********
Later that week I was settled into my apartment and was seeing Mama off at the airport.
"Mi Theresita, it's not too late for you to come home..." she started, with a tear glistening in her left eye.
"Mama, I need to do this, you know that," I told her as I gave her a tight hug and she handed me Little Ethan.
"Well, you take care of mi grandson. I love you both," she started to the terminal.
Little Ethan and I waved at her as she walked away from us.

Well, that's it for this chapter. If I get some good reviews, then I'll put up more chapters. Who else is interested to know what Theresa saw? Well, I need to get some reviews before I'll go any further.
