Ethan had watched as Chad picked Theresa up and dumped her in the water and now they were chasing each other and laughing. He didn't know what was happening, but he knew he was jealous. He was jealous Chad got to sleep in her bed, that Chad could kiss her and hold her and to be around her all the time.
"She told me she loved me and I ruined it," he thought to himself. Then he looked at Gwen with her bulging stomach. "I have obligations now, I can't be thinking like this." He thought as he kissed Gwen. "You are going to make such a wonderful mother, you know we haven't discussed baby names yet."
"Well, you're right, if it's a girl can we name her Becky after my mother?"
"Sure, that's a wonderful name. If it's a boy, Robert?" offered Ethan.
"That's wonderful, darling, I can't wait until we are one big family."
"Me either." Said Ethan smiling as he put his hand on her stomach.
"I haven't built a sand castle since I was a little girl and Mama and Papa used to take us to the beach." Said Theresa as she and Chad shaped mounds of sand.
"Well, I know this sounds stupid but I ain't never built one. I'm glad I am now though." He said smiling at Theresa. After a while they got done and stood back to admire their work.
"Wow, this looks great Chad, thanks for helping me."
"Hey, you're welcome." Said Chad smiling.
"Let me go get my camera." Said Theresa as she ran over to her belongings and came back with the camera.
"Ethan, could you come over here and take some pictures of me with Chad and our castle?" called Theresa. She watched as Ethan walked over to them. She handed Ethan the camera and then sat by their castle with Chad."
Ethan took some pictures of them with the sand castle and one of Theresa kissing Chad's cheek.
"Thanks for taking the pictures, Ethan." Said Theresa smiling at him.
"You're welcome Theresa. Well I better get back over to Gwen." He said as he left.
"Theresa do you want to go get something to eat?" asked Chad as they walked on the beach together.
"I have this gigantic craving for ice cream! I saw a little Ice cream shop over there, do you want to get some?" asked Theresa.
"Sure, that's fine with me." Said Chad smiling.
"Okay, I'll race you." Said Theresa running ahead.
"Theresa! Get back here!" said Chad running after her.
They got a table outside on the patio with a flowered sunshade sticking from the middle of the table. "I'll go order, you wait right here." Said Theresa as she went up to the counter.
Chad waited and a minute later Theresa came back with a huge Sundae, topped with chocolate fudge, whipped cream, nuts and cherries. She sat the Sundae in between them and handed Chad one of the spoons.
Ethan and Gwen walked hand-in-hand down the beach with the waves washing over their feet as they talked about plans for the future and the late afternoon sun shone in the baby blue sky. Ethan looked over at the variety of shops and stores on the ocean-side when in the distance he saw Chad and Theresa and it looked like they were feeding each other and laughing.
"Gwen, would you like to go see what Theresa and Chad are doing up there?" asked Ethan because for some reason he wanted them to stop.
"I think we should let them have their fun, we can see them later." Said Gwen.
"I guess you're right." Said Ethan as they continued to walk.
Theresa dabbed some whipped cream on Chad's nose as they were finishing up the sundae. "I can play that game too." Said Chad as he put some on her nose too.
They both started laughing as Chad wiped his nose off and Theresa wiped hers off too. Theresa looked at Chad and giggled. "You still have a little on your nose." Said Theresa.
"Where?" asked Chad wiping at his nose again.
"Here, I'll get it for you." Said Theresa as she leaned over the table and wiped his nose. There faces we so close that Chad smiled. "Thanks, Theresa."
"You're welcome, Chad." Said Theresa pulling away.
An hour before dinner they went back up to their rooms to get dressed and cleaned up. Theresa put on a short spaghetti strapped, turquoise dress, Gwen had a dark red dress and Chad and Ethan both had tuxedos. They went down to dinner where there was a breath-taking view of the ocean. They sat down and ate, Chad sat next to Theresa who was next to Ethan who was beside Gwen.
All of a sudden Theresa heard a familiar song start to play.
Let me close my eyes
Let me see
Give me hope tonight
Theresa and Ethan both turned to each other and smiled.
"Ethan, do you want to dance?" asked Theresa hopefully.
"Uh I don't think that's a good-."
"Go on Ethan, I'll dance the next song with you, although I don't know how close we can get with the baby between us." Said Gwen smiling.
Ethan helped Theresa out of her chair and they made their way to the dance floor. Theresa wrapped her arms around Ethan as they started to dance to "Kiss Me",
"So did you and Chad have a good time today?" asked Ethan, trying to think of anything but how close their bodies were.
"Yeah, he's a lot of fun." Said Theresa as she looked into Ethan's eyes.
"Good, I'm glad." He said as he turned his head so he wouldn't be looking into those deep pools of brown and be tempted by her soft lips. He flash backed to the night they were singing this song at the cabin and how it had almost put him in a trance, how the only thing he had concentrated on was how the spirit of the song seemed to move him so close to Theresa and he had felt so connected to her.
Be with me
Light the way
Find me
Kiss me
Kiss me
Kiss me
Ethan turned back and faced Theresa as the song was about to end. It seemed as if the song was just meant for them. His lips moved closer and closed and as they touched
