Gwen is in an exam room getting dressed after the tests were run. Theresa comes in to be there for moral support.
"So how'd it go?" Theresa asks
"We'll see she ran to the lab after taking my blood but she said she'll be back soon." Gwen says
"Well let's just have hope that it's good news." Theresa says as the door opens and Eve comes in
"Hello Theresa, Gwen says it was your idea for me to examine her is that right?" Eve asks
"Yes I did we just wanted to make sure that the results from LA were correct." Theresa says
"Well I have to say I am very happy to see you two have buried the hatchet." Eve says
"So are we." Gwen says "What did you find out?" Gwen asks
"Well it seems that the tests I've run shows that the first results are correct. I'm sorry to say it looks like you uterine lining was severely damaged from the trauma caused by the fall. It doesn't appear that you will be able to carry a child yourself again." Eve says reluctantly as Gwen starts to cry. "I will say though you never know there may be a chance that with time it may heal but we can't be sure." Eve says
"So there is a chance?" Theresa asks
"It's slim but there is a chance yes. The female reproductive system is very complex it may just need time to heal, I suggest we make you an appointment in a few months and we'll see if there's a change." Eve says hopeful
"Thank you Dr. Russell. I do have to ask you if there is no change is there a way I can use a surrogate mother?" Gwen asks
"I don't see why not I don't see any evidence that your eggs have been damaged so that is a possibility. First things first let's see what a few months does than you and Ethan come back and we'll run the tests again." Eve says
"Oh it won't be Ethan our marriage is over!" Gwen says
"I'm sorry I didn't know." Eve says
"It's alright it isn't final yet but it will be soon." Gwen says at that moment Eve's pager goes off and she checks it
"Well I have to go to check on a patient but I'll be in touch soon." Eve says smiling and leaving
"Well it wasn't the news we wanted." Gwen says dejected
"Still there is a chance if Dr. Russell says that your body may heal then I have faith it will work out. Let's go we'll grab a latte on me." Theresa says hugging Gwen
"That sounds great let's go." They get up and leave
Back at the Crane mansion Alistair Crane is in the library as Fox walks in
"It's good to see you grandfather." Fox says
"Nicholas thank you for stopping by to see me. Now I need you to help me with something is it true that Gwen and Theresa have both given up on Ethan?" Alistair says
"It is true they finally both realized that he's nothing but trouble." Fox says
"Finally, I will say that if it wasn't for Theresa's obsession with Ethan she would've never followed Julian down to Bermuda, married him accidentally and had Little Ethan. I see so much potential in her, she has that spirit I admire. Gwen is another person I had so much respect for as well, she sneaky, underhanded and manipulative. She managed to dupe Ethan that Theresa sent the information about Ethan's paternity to the tabloids. With the two of them working together they can both bring Harmony to its knees." Alistair says light a cigar.
"I have to tell you grandfather that once Gwen and Ethan's marriage is over I plan on dating her." Fox says
"That's fabulous you have my full blessing in regards to that. I would have even approved if you had planned on pursuing the lovely Theresa." Alistair says
"Thank you grandfather but I think Theresa is growing interest in Noah Bennett since he just moved back into town." Fox says
"Noah Bennett, ahh yes he will prove to be a very benefital asset to Crane if he and Theresa decide to wed, but I am getting ahead of myself. I would like to talk to Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald the moment she gets here." Alistair says
"I'll let her know." Fox says taking out his phone as the front door closes and Theresa walks into the living room "That may be her now I'll go get her." Fox says leaving the room he quickly returns with her.
"Mr. Crane you want to talk to me?" Theresa says
"I do Theresa and please call me Alistair." He says
"Ok Alistair." Theresa says nervously
"I'll give you two some time to talk." Fox says
"Don't go far Fox if you find Gwen let her know I would like to talk with her soon." Alistair says as Fox leaves closing the door behind him.
"Alistair I know I'm not your favorite person right now being the fact my marriage to Julian was a fake." Theresa says
"I must admit that I wasn't thrilled after I found out but I had some time to think about it and you didn't know what Julian's loser friends planned for you two so I do not hold you accountable and you have my apologies for treating you so coldly when you tried to talk to me that day." Alistair says as stands up out of his chair and walks over to her and Theresa's eyes light up
"Thank you." Theresa says
"I also have come to understand that you have given up you attempts to get together with Ethan is that true?" Alistair says
"It's true I learned what kind of person he really is." Theresa says
"Thank goodness I've seen that he is not a man true to his word." Alistair says
"No he is not." Theresa says angrily
"Well this leads to a very important question I have for you. Since the truth came out about your sham of a marriage to Julian came to light you have been demoted to assistant designer of Crane Couture is that right?" Alistair asks
"Yes I'm just happy to still be able to work there." Theresa says
"Would you be interested in running Crane Couture? I need a strong savvy woman who can turn it around." Alistair says
"Are you serious that is a dream come true." Theresa says
"I am all about business and I know you come from humble beginnings just the kind of honesty Crane needs. Since the position was taken away the department has greatly suffered and it needs you back. Are you interested?" Alistair asks
"I am honored but can I ask you for a favor?" Theresa asks
"What is it?" Alistair asks
"Is there any way Gwen and I can work together?" Theresa asks
"We have very similar minds Theresa something I admire. I am going to ask her if she would handle the marketing for your new division. She did some brilliant work at her father's company and I figured Crane could use her since she and Ethan are finished. She would be the brains and you will be the brawn." Alistair says
"That's terrific." Theresa says
"You will need an assistant as well so if you can think of anyone you'd like to work with let me know." Alistair says as the ground begins to shake as an earthquake rocks Harmony. Theresa turns and sees a large bookcase fall blocking the door then she sees the bookcase behind Alistair begin to sway in his direction
"ALISTAIR LOOK OUT." Theresa screams as she jumps and tackles him as the bookcase falls slamming on the ground as the shaking stops.
"Alistair are you alright?" Theresa says getting up off of him
"I am thanks to you." Alistair says
"I'm so sorry I had to tackle you. I just didn't want you to get crushed" Theresa says
"That is the fighting spirit I speak of, not a lot of people would try to save my life why Julian would probably have thrown me to the side just to get away." Alistair says
Fox and Gwen reach the door and try opening it
"It must be blocked from the other side." Fox says trying to break the door down
"God I hope they're alright." Gwen says concerned
"We have to get this door open. GRANDFATHER, THERESA are you alright?" Fox says
"We are alright there's a huge bookcase blocking the door." Theresa says loudly
"Fox we have a way out we'll meet you both in the living room." Alistair says leading Theresa out of the study through a door next to his desk.
They all meet up in the living room as Gwen and Theresa hug. "I'm so glad you're alright." Gwen says to Theresa
"Grandfather are you alright?" Fox asks
"Thanks to Theresa I am fine. She saved my life." Alistair says
"You saved his life?" Fox asks
"She managed to get me out of harm's way. If it wasn't for her I'd be crushed under a bookcase right now." Alistair says
"That's amazing Theresa." Gwen says
"I did what anyone would do." Theresa says humbly
"I'm not sure about that. I know a few people that would not have risked themselves for my grandfather." Fox says
"That's what I was saying now I need to head over to Crane Industries to make sure it's still in one piece. Gwen I would like to speak with you when I return. Theresa will fill you in. Goodbye and Theresa thank you for saving me it will be something I will never forget. Alistair says as he leaves the room.
"Theresa what you did was amazing." Fox says
"I know you saved his life." Gwen says
"It's strange I had to tackle him so a bookcase wouldn't fall on him. I actually apologized for it afterwards." Theresa says
"He's going to reward you I know my grandfather." Fox says
"Before the earthquake he actually told me he wants me to run Crane Couture." Theresa says
"That's amazing!" Gwen says
"I told him I wanted to work with you Gwen I hope that's alright." Theresa says
"With me, you really asked him that what did he say?" Gwen asks
"He told me he was going to ask you to be the head of marketing. Can you believe it we can work together! Right before the earthquake he even asked to hire an assistant." Theresa says
"He must really want you on board." Fox says
"Well I'm gonna go check on Little Ethan hopefully he slept through the quake." Theresa says
"I'll go with you I haven't really got to spend that much time with him lately." Gwen says
"He knows you've been sad but I know he'll want to see you." Theresa says as they all leave the room.
