Chapter 1: Realizations

Setting: After Theresa leaves the house disguised as Gwen, in the Morning, Ethan wakes up and is sitting on his bed thinking...

"Last night was so amazing. It was like nothing I've ever experienced with Gwen before. It's almost as if.... No Ethan, get Theresa out of your mind, you're a married man! And yet...why does last night remind me so much of the first time I made love with Theresa?"

(Meanwhile, at Theresa's home..)

"My God, what have I done? How could I have made love with Ethan all over again just for the sake of having a baby? Our lovemaking was so powerful this time, it almost was like our first time on the beach....Oh God, please, please let me get over Ethan once and for all. I can't handle this!

(Back at Ethan's place)

"Why can't I get this woman out of my head? We've been through so much heartache...and yet, we've had joy and love too. It's not possible that I made love with Theresa last night, there's no way. I mean, Gwen was here! It's just a figment of my imagination! It has to be!"

Flashback

"I love you so much" Ethan stated as he passionately kissed the woman in his bed.

"And I love you, Ethan. I always have, and I always will"

End flashback

"Oh My God, is it possible that the voice who told me she loved me...belonged to Theresa? Ethan you're crazy, there's no way!" Ethan was now pacing the floor of his bedroom trying to figure out the truth...

"There's no way it could have been Theresa, she's not even allowed at this house! How could she have managed to get by everyone? No, not possible! God I got to stop doing this to myself! I love my wife, I need only my wife, and no other woman!"

As Ethan continues to think about the events of last night, his mind flashes back to the beach..

"Ethan, I love you so much. I always will." Theresa stated as she was lying on Ethan's chest.

"Oh, baby, I love you so much. You have made me the happiest man ever! This night was so magical for both of us. I can't believe I get to spend the rest of my life with you."

Back to the Present

"Oh, my God, I think....I think I just made love with Theresa! But how? It's not possible! I have to go talk to her..I have to figure things out!!" Quickly, Ethan gets dressed, and heads over to Theresa's for answers..

(Meanwhile...)

"I can't be thinking about Ethan, I love Fox. I need Fox. Why did I ever do this to myself? I just wanted to get my son back! Gwen does not deserve to be raising my child!" As Theresa is thinking out loud to herself, she turns and knocks over a hidden picture on her desk...of a happier time with Ethan.

"Oh Ethan, we were so happy here...how could it all have gone wrong? Did you feel a spark last night when we were making love? You probably didn't even know it was me. You probably thought it was your wife. I knew I shouldn't have made love with you, but I had to. For so many reasons. I had to get my son back...and finally close you from my heart. And yet, you're still in my heart, stronger than ever....God, what am I going to do?!?"

"You can start by telling me the truth once and for all!"

Wide-eyed, Theresa turns around in her room and comes face to face with the man of her heart....

"Ethan.."
