"Gwen! Gwen! Are you okay?" yelled Ethan.
"I'm fine, what's happing?"
The lights flickered on and Chad saw Theresa holding onto Ethan looking terrified. He felt a moment of jealousy. They were going to die and Theresa was holding on to Ethan, the very man who had broken her heart.
"Ethan I have something to tell you if we are going to die," said Theresa as the plane continued to spiral downwards. She gulped down her fear as she prepared to confess her love to him again.
"Yes, Theresa?" asked Ethan through the darkness, his teeth clenched as he prayed for God to spare Gwen and thier baby.
Theresa took a deep breath as she prepared for the end. "I-I-still-love-"
"Mrs. Winthrop," said the pilot over the intercom. "We ran into some bad weather, I should have the jet under control in a matter of seconds."
Everyone waited in suspense and finally the jet steadied and the lights came back on.
"What is it Theresa?" asked Ethan letting out a breath he hadn't known he was holding.
"Nothing. Thank god we're okay!" said Theresa hugging him.
"Yeah, Ethan, I don't know what I would have done if something happened to you," said Gwen holding his hand, she decided not to mention how much both hands were shaking.
"Me either," said Ethan as he kissed Gwen when Theresa stopped hugging him.
"Mrs. Winthrop, we should be in Bermuda shortly," said the pilot over the intercom again.
"Theresa do you mind if I sit next to Ethan the rest of the way?" asked Gwen.
"No of course not," said Theresa getting up and sitting next to Chad where Gwen had been.
"Theresa, what was that all about?" whispered Chad.
"What was what about?" asked Theresa looking over at Ethan where he was talking to Gwen.
"All that holding on to him and hugging him, you were going to tell him you still loved him weren't you."
"Yes, only because I know he still loves me just look at him Chad, I can tell by the way he looks so lovingly at me."
"Theresa, you're dreaming! He loves Gwen, not you. She is carrying his child look at them, that's real love, not a fantasy! He doesn't love you and he never did so get it out of your head," said Chad in a harsh whisper.
Theresa looked at him with tears in her eyes. She got up and quickly walked to the bathroom.
"Is everything okay? Theresa looked upset," said Gwen concerned.
"It was just all of that lurching, I think it got to her stomach," said Chad covering for her.
"Well I'm going to go see if she's okay," said Gwen getting up.
"No, I can do it," said Chad also standing up.
"Nonsense, she'll feel embarrassed if her boyfriend walks in on her vomiting. I'll be right back," said Gwen going to the back of the jet towards that bath room.
Theresa was sitting on the floor with her head resting on her knees. "Chad is right, I don't have a chance with Ethan," she whispered to herself as she continued to cry, she didn't hear Gwen open the door.
"Theresa, are you okay?" asked Gwen as she stood in front of Theresa.
"Yeah, I'm fine, I thought the jet would crash, I just kept thinking about a future I might not have, it just got to me," said Theresa wiping her tears and trying to smile.
"Oh, I totally understand, here you go," said Gwen handing her a tissue.
"Thanks, Gwen. I'll be out in a minute."
"Okay, I'll go tell Chad that you are alright," Gwen said as she got up and left.
Theresa composed herself and straightened up her make-up and went back and sat by Chad again.

"Theresa-"
"Chad-" they both spoke at once.
Theresa smiled, "Go ahead."
"I didn't mean to be so mean about Ethan, I know you really do love him, I just don't want you to get your heart broken."
"I know and I'm sorry for getting so upset, you were right. Thanks for looking out for me," she said hugging him.

"Don't they look cute together?" whispered Gwen to Ethan as she layed her head on his shoulder.
"I guess, I still can't believe they are together don't you think it's odd?"
"Not at all, their friendship grew into love, I think it's really sweet."
"Love? You think they love each other?" asked Ethan.
"Well just look at them."
Ethan did, Theresa had her head on Chad's shoulder and he had his arm around her.
"I think they are just attracted to each other, they'll probably realize that it won't work."
"Ethan, what makes you say that? I know Theresa is one of your best friends and you are protective of her like a big brother but Chad is your friend too, there is nothing to worry about."
"I don't know, what if he's using her?"
"Ethan! You know he wouldn't do that, what has gotten into you, it's like you're jealous….are you?" she asked looking up at him.
"Gwen! Of course not but I know how much she was heart broken in the past about Chuck and I don't want it to happen with Chad, that's all."
"You are so noble and caring," said Gwen kissing him. "But Theresa is going to be okay. Look she's even sleeping right now, probably dreaming about Chad so don't worry about anything."
"I won't," said Ethan as he leaned over and rubbed Gwen' s belly.
Chad looked down at Theresa as she was sleeping. He ran his hand over her soft hair as he wished that she would sleep on his chest until they landed.

Theresa was having a dream. She was in a long flowing princess-looking wedding gown but she was all alone. She turned around and there was Ethan in a tuxedo smiling at her. "Oh Ethan, I know when we get married we will be so happy," she said at him. They were walking down the aisle when all of a sudden someone was standing in front of her. "Theresa you can't marry him, someone else loves you."
"Who?" asked Theresa but she got no reply. "Who?" she asked again.

Theresa shifted and then opened her eyes and then sat up. "We're about to land," said Chad from beside her.
"Okay," Theresa said as she buckled up. The jet landed and they were then driven to the hotel..
"Theresa, since I know you and Chad are so close I booked you a room together, is that okay?" asked Gwen smiling.
"Sure, we're used to sleeping together," said Theresa with out thinking. Ethan just looked at her strangely. "Uh that's not what it sounded like."
"Oh Theresa it's perfectly acceptable to sleep with your boyfriend, it's the new millennium, don't be so modest," said Gwen.
Theresa heard Chad laugh from behind her. "Whatever you say Gwen," said Theresa looking at Ethan.
They were escorted to their rooms, which were side-by-side.
"Why don't we get unpacked and settled in and then we can go to the beach?" suggested Gwen.
"Okay, that sounds great, you Theresa?" asked Chad.
"Yeah, it sounds wonderful," said Theresa as she opened the door to their room and they went in.
"Damn, look how big this room is," he said looking at the kitchen, living room and bedroom all put into one room.
"It's beautiful, let's go out on the balcony," she said grabbing his hand and leading him out on the balcony.
"Wow, look at the ocean, it's so beautiful," Theresa said staring at the crystal blue water.
"Yeah, and so are you," said Chad and Theresa turned and looked at him.
"Thanks."
"Well, I'm going to go unpack, I think I'll sleep on the couch tonight, okay?" said Chad as he walked back into the room.
"No, we can share the bed, it's definitly big enough," said Theresa following him.
"I don't wanna mess with your reputation, you heard what Gwen said, she thinks we are having sex."
"I don't care what Gwen thinks."
"Oh yeah, well maybe not, but what about what Ethan thinks, I could tell from the look he gave me he believes we are too."
"I don't care what he thinks either."
"Theresa, I know you do, it's no big deal though, I've slept in places a lot worse than a couch."
"Okay, do what you want," said Theresa as she started to unpack.

Twenty minutes later Theresa, Chad, Gwen and Ethan were all at the beach staring at the ocean
"It's such a hot day don't you think so Ethan?" asked Gwen as she looked out over the blue water.
"Yes, it's a great day for swimming among other things," he said picking her up and spinning her around.
"Ethan put me down right now, you'll hurt your back, I'm already as big as a whale!" squealed Gwen.
Theresa watched as she saw how in love they looked, it wasn't fair. She wished she could have that with someone, anyone as long as they made her forget about Ethan. She layed down her beach towel sprayed some sun tanning oil on and then layed down on her stomach hoping to get a tan.
Ethan watched Gwen, in her flower-print one piece bathing suit as she splashed in the water laughing. "Ethan! Are you coming? The water is so wonderful!" she yelled.
"I'll be right there!" he called back as he sat down and took off his shoes. He looked to his left and a few feet away Theresa was laying on her stomach wearing a black bikini with her eyes closed. Ethan looked at her oily back and he longed to slowly run his hands over her smooth skin. He looked lower and saw the curve of her butt and her firm thighs. "I definitely need some cold water," he muttered to himself as he stood up and carefully walked to the water.
Chad watched as Theresa flipped over so she was laying on her back. "Yo, Theresa. Are you gonna spend all day roasting or are you going to go get wet?"
"I think I'll just stay here for a while," she said smiling.
"Well I don't think so!" said Chad as he bent down and scooped her up.
"Chad Harris put me down right now!" screamed Theresa as Chad walked towards the water.
"And what are you gonna do if I say no?" asked Chad smiling.
"I don't know…but it'll be really, really bad. Chad please don't dump me in that freezing water!" pleaded Theresa as he waded further into the ocean.
"Okay, I'll let you down now."
"Chad, no, please, Chad!….ahhhhhhhhhhhh!" screamed Theresa as Chad let go of her. She came back out sputtering. "Chad! I am going to kill you for that!"
"Well maybe, only if you can catch me first!" said Chad as he started running through the water.
