Confusing Her for my Benefit

"May I hold her, Gwen?"

"Um, I guess so, yeah, why not, you are her daddy afterall." She says as she places the baby into Ethan's arms.

My little girl. Thank god you're safe. Ethan thinks as he checks the baby to make sure she's alright.

"What are you doing, Ethan? Don't you think I know how to take care of our baby?"

"Of course, Gwen, I just can't help but admire how beautiful she is."

"Yes, she is. She's our baby, Ethan! Our baby! And that Theresa will never take her away. Isn't that right, Ashley?" Gwen says as she coos with the baby.

God, help me. "Gwen, why don't we put the baby down for a nap?"

"Yes, wonderful idea, I'll go get the formula in the kitchen." As Gwen leaves, Ethan quickly looks outside and sees Luis and Sam. Giving them a nod, he mouths to them that he has the baby. Holding her close, Ethan sighs. My baby girl, this should have never happened to you, but I promise, I'm going to get you back to your mommy.

Rocking her slowly, Ethan puts the baby into the crib. "Gwen, honey, I'll be right back. I'm just going to get something from my car."

"Okay, Ethan."

Moving outside, Ethan spots Sam and Luis. "Where's my niece, Ethan?"

"She's safe. I put her back in her crib. Look, I need to keep playing at Gwen's mind, at the next best moment, I'll take the baby and bring her here and then you can take Gwen back to the psych ward."

"Are you sure, son?"

"Yes, dad."

Moving back into the house, Ethan sighs. I can't believe this has happened to me. My life should have been with Theresa, and yet, I did the right thing by staying by Gwen, or so I thought was the right thing. Now, she has lost her mind, and taken my child with Theresa. How can I forgive her for that? I can't stay married to someone who kidnaps, and probably has lied to me."

Sighing, Ethan watches as Gwen comes back into the room. "Here is dinner!" She says.

"Smells great."

"Ashley, Nathan, isn't Mommy the best cook?" Gwen says around the table to empty chairs.

God, I have to get out of here with my baby… Ethan thinks to himself.

Coming Up
