Chapter Fourteen

Therese walked into her apartment and listened to the bustling downt he hall where the servants were unpacking her children's things. She smiled as she heard little Ethan's voice coming from down the hall and the cooing sounds coming from Jane's room. She walked down the hall and stopped in the doorway of EM's room and watched him sitting in a plush chair with his nanny as she read him a story. She walked further and peered into Jane's room and saw her beautiful little girl sitting in her crib, looking around her new room until she caught sight of her mother in the doorway.

"Mamamamama!" Jane called out, holding her arms out to be picked up.

"Someone definitely knows who her mommy is," Therese said as she walked up to the crib and picked up her daughter.

Jane quickly cuddled up to her mother's shoulder as Therese walked out of the room and walked into the newly furnished playroom and sat down in a rocking chair near the window and began to rock and hum a lullaby which quickly caused Jane to fall asleep against her mother's shoulder.

Harmony Jail

One at a time, Gwen, Rebecca, and Beth are lead to their cells and this time the command from Alistair was to be followed. A empty cell was between each woman and they were not allowed any visitors unless it was Ethan or their lawyers.

The only thing that Gwen disliked about this arrangement was the fact that Beth was in the cell two cells away from her and Rebecca was two cells beyond Beth.

"That should keep you two from scheming to break out or to get what you believe is revenge, when all it has been was nothing more than taking something away from the one person who never did anything to you, no matter what you believed," Sam said as he placed Beth in between the two Hotchkiss women,

Beth walked to her cot and laid down upon it. She sighed sadly. "I can't believe that I am in this position. I thought I would have Luis with me forever and he, Marty, and I would be a family."

"Ethan, EM, Jane and I were a family until Therese interfered. That was my family!" Gwen exclaimed.

"You and I both had plans for what we wanted, for what we both thought we deserved in our lives, but Alistair made sure that we didn't get it. He showed us that we didn't deserve it," Beth said.

"Yes, we did! We deserved those lives!" Gwen shouted, turning and looking directly at Beth. "We deserved those lives more than Sheridan and Therese ever did!"

"Think about it, Gwen. If you hadn't listened to your mother, you would have gotten on with your life. You would've found someone else, your true soulmate, you would've had a different life," Beth reasoned.

"That is not true!" Rebecca screamed from her cell.

Beth turned and scowled at Rebecca. "Shut up, Rebecca. You don't know what your daughter would do!"

"She is right, mother. Until you showed up in town, I would've gotten on with my life. I may have had children with someone else and I wouldn't have lost my ability to have children," Gwen said. "But I still wanted Ethan and I probably wouldn't have given up until I actually saw that he was happy with Therese."
