***Hey, sorry about how everything ended up scrunched together without paragraphs on the last chapter. I don't know why it did that, and I'm trying to fix it. Lol. Enjoy. ***
"Gwen!" Ethan hurried out the patio door. The dark night hide everything from his sight and he could not see his fiancée, Gwen. She had rushed out the door after Ethan had kissed Theresa. Ethan glanced back inside where Theresa was surrounded by her happy family. Should he go after Gwen or continue his reunion with Theresa? Suddenly the guilt Ethan felt for his kiss with Theresa faded as his anger rose. Why couldn't Gwen see he had just been happy to see Theresa alive? It was a fairly innocent kiss. Gwen hadn't even bothered to say anything to Theresa after the ordeal she had gone through. She had remained in the shadows as Ethan had hugged Theresa. Didn't Gwen care that Theresa was alive? Or was she really that heartless? Ethan tried to push that last thought out of his mind. He didn't want to think such horrid things of the woman he planned on marrying.
Still, Ethan didn't feel up to chasing after Gwen and comforting her right now. She was being childish. fleeing the way she had. If anyone needed comforting, it was Theresa. Ethan nodded with resolve as he stepped back inside the Crane mansion and firmly closed the door behind him. This was where he belonged right now. Hopefully Gwen would realize that and come back. If she came back, Ethan would know she truly was a good person. If not, well, Ethan didn't want to think of what that would mean.

Kay quietly joined the others in front of Dr. Eve Russell. They were going to hear the fate of Charity and Timmy. Kay had a bad feeling in the pit of her stomach. She could tell by the solemn cast to Dr. Russell's face that the news wasn't good. Kay didn't want Miguel to blame her for Charity's death. She prayed to God that the news wasn't that bad. She knew Miguel would never want to see her again if Charity ended up dying. Miguel, Jessica and Simone all had suspicions that Kay had somehow brought evil back to Harmony and therefore caused what happened to Charity. Kay could never let them find out just how right they were. It was her who had cast the spell creating the Zombie Charity. It was her fault.
"Charity and Timmy are both in comas, I'm sorry." Eve said sadly.
"But they'll wake up, won't they?" Miguel asked.
"That remains to be seen. It doesn't look good. They might never wake up."
The small crowd took in Eve's words. Charity and Timmy may never recover. Grace Bennett let out a cry as she sunk into a waiting room chair. Jessica and Simone were sniffling tears and whispering words to each other. Tabitha hands shook as she tried to remain calm. And Miguel stood up straight and rigid, a stricken look on his face. Kay wanted to go to him and put her hand on his shoulder, like she would have done, if only they hadn't made love. Making love had changed everything between them. Miguel felt angry, upset and tricked and Kay knew he should feel tricked, but she had hoped it wouldn't end up that way. Things may never be the same between them. They may never be best friends again.

Antonio and Diana waited in the entrance hall, but his mother must have not heard his call. He wasn't quite sure where the living room was, but figured they could find it. Antonio smiled at his love, "Uh, by any chance, do you remember where the living room is?"
Diana laughed, but then her face froze. A tiny fleck of remembrance glinted in her eyes. She nodded, "It's the second door on the left, down that hallway."
Antonio didn't ask how she knew; he knew she wouldn't be able to tell him herself. He just took her hand and headed towards the living room. He couldn't wait for his family to meet the love of his life. "Will you wait here, Diana?" Antonio asked as they stopped in the hallway before the living room. "I want to say hello to my mama first and then you can make a grand entrance."
Diana shrugged, "Sure."
Antonio entered the living room, calling out to his family. He was shocked upon the scene he had come upon. A blackened burnt coffin stood at the front of the room surrounded by fresh flowers. His mother, his brother Luis and his sister Theresa were all clustered in a big embrace, tears shiny on their cheeks. A man stood off to one side holding a tiny baby.
"Antonio!" His mother cried as she broke apart and spotted him.
Antonio hurried to her side, "Mama, what happened here? Who, who died?"
His mother laughed and shook her head, "No one died. Oh, Antonio, it's so good to have you home. It's so good to have all my children alive and well!" She began tearing up and Antonio hugged her tightly.
"Antonio, brother." Antonio was swept up in another hug with his sister Theresa.
"Theresa you look so good. You're so grown up."
"You look good too, Antonio." Theresa said with a smile. "This is Ethan, and that is little Ethan Martin, my son."
"Your son? Oh, my sweet little sister, we have a lot of catching up to do." Antonio turned to Luis. "Luis, it's good to see you again."
Luis nodded, but Antonio could sense the tension there. Now that he was in Harmony, he hoped he could fix the rift with his brother. Antonio didn't know why Luis had left without telling him while they both were in Bermuda. Maybe they could sort things out. Family was too special to let it be ruined by anger and hurt. Antonio smiled. "Now, I have someone special I want you all to meet. my fiancée, Diana. Come on in, Diana."
Antonio turned to watch his family's reactions as his beautiful Diana walked into the room. Their expressions weren't what he had expected as they all stared at the doorway with shock and confusion. He could feel their collective gasp of surprise.
"Sheridan?!" Luis cried out.
