"Mrs. Crane, you're all set.", the nurse replied.
"Yeah, well I'm not sure were I could go…seeing as my best friend and my husband are having an affair."
"I'm sorry to hear that, but maybe there's more to the story than meets the eye ?"
"Maybe ? But, why'd they confess it and…"
"I don't know Miss, but I would have never guessed that Mr. Crane would be cheating on you. He seemed to only have eyes for you.", the nurse said turning to leave. "Good luck.", she added.
"Thanks, Judy."

"Who is it ?", she asked.
"Fox.", she heard him say.
"Go away !!!"
"No, I got something that I think might interest you.", Fox said walking in with Little Ethan in his arms.
"Oh, My God… baby you've grown so much.", Theresa said running her hands through his hair.
"Mommy missed you, you know.", Theresa continued, Ethan just sit there smiling.
"Fox, is mama with you ?", Theresa said finally noticing Fox's presents.
"Yeah, she's in the cafeteria getting something for Ethan and herself."
"Therestia, what's this I hear about you getting re-least .", Pilar greeted.
"Momma, hey we were just talking about you, would you mind watching Little Ethan for awhile. I need to talk to Fox."
"Sure, come on little guy."
"But, I want to spend sometime with mommy.", Ethan argued. "Fox, come on tell grandma and mommy to let me stay.", he pleaded.
"I'll make you deal, buddy. You go with your grandma and leave me and Theresa here to talk and the first day we get back to Harmony we'll take you to the park to play as long as you want.", Fox reasoned. "Deal ?"
"Deal.", Ethan replied going over and hugging Theresa.
"Ok, what was that about ? Don't tell me you been parading your and Whitney affair in front of my son?", Theresa asked.
"Your son ? Theresa he is a much mine as yours. Yeah, he's Julian's biologically, but I am the only father figure he has in his life.", Fox replied.
"Well, how am I to explain to him why you and Aunt Whitney are together ?", Theress exclaimed.
"You won't have to, ok. Everything we said and did earlier was a show for Ethan, and if you want to see the finally you need to be ready in 5 minutes."
"Finally ?", she questioned.
"Yeah, Ethan is about to get bust for everything he's done, the kiss, the manipulation, everything, and you really need to be there.", he replied.
"Ok, so you and Whit…", Theresa began.
"Never did a thing…you see Ethan thought that Whitney had succeeded in breaking us up.", he replied.
"Whitney, was to break us up !!!", Theresa exclaimed.
"No, she acted like it.", he informed. "In order to set Ethan up."
"Ok, so where's the finally take place ?", Fox asked.
"Harmony, that's why you need to get dressed as quickly and as soon as possible. We're flying out tonight." , he replied.
"We ?", she asked.
"Pilar, Little E, You and me."
"What about Whitney ?"
"She left earlier with Chad."
"And Ethan ?"
"He left about 2:30 today."
"Ok, so everyone's home, except Gwen."
"Correction, she's fly in with us, if that's ok with you."
"Yeah, it's a great idea it'll give Ethan a chance to meet his cousin"
"You're amazing.", Fox replied rapping his arms around her.
"No, you're the amazing one.", Theresa replied.
"I am aren't ,I", he replied.
"Shut up and kiss me.", she ordered.
"Yes, ma'am.", Fox replied taking her lips with his own.
"Mommy…", Ethan said running into the room.
"What honey ?", she asked breaking the kiss.
"Grandma, wanted to know if you were ready to go yet ?"
"Yeah, but first I need to change."
"Ok, mommy I'll tell granny.", Ethan said skipping out the door.
"Fox, hint, hint I need to change."
"But, I'm your husband ."
"Yeah, and this is also a hospital."
"Oh, ok, but I'm going to tell you the same thing when you want to you know."
"You can't we won't be in a hospital."
"But, you'll still regret it."
"I'm sure I will. Now, go!!!"

"Kathelina, has anyone ever told you, you have pretty eyebrows", Dylan asked.
"Eyebrows.", Kathelina replied trying not to laugh.
"Yeah, they make your eyes look so big."
"Oh, ok. No, more liquor for you, you're out of your mind.
"No, I'm not.. I know exactly what I'm doing."
"Even if it's me ?"
"What ?"
"I said even if it's mean.", she lied.
"Oh, I thought… never mind."
"You thought what ?"
"You said even if it was you."
"Oh, Dylan, would you like to do me."
"What ?"
"I said would you like some mean lemonade.", Kathelina said trying not to laugh at him and how nervous he was acting.
"Would you like a cherry."
"Cherry ?"
"Yeah, you know those red fruits you pick off a tree."
"Oh, yeah, uh, umm…sure."
"You ever do a virgin ?", Kathelina said trying her best not to laugh.
Dylan's eyes got big.
"What ? Katherine… I'm going crazy."
"Oh really, what did you think I said ?"
"I've heard some things I know you didn't say."
"Like What ?"
"I thought you ask me to do you and then I thought I heard you ask me if I ever did a virgin before."
"Have you ?"
"No, why ?"
"Cause, I'm considering having you be my first… you know I've always been into you. To be truthful I use to have dreams about us making wild passionate love, as a matter of a fact I had one last night."
"You did ?", Dylan said swallowing the lump in his throat.
"Yeah, we were actually we were here and you were so hot and sexy and you were pleasing me, lord wasn't you pleasing me.", Kathelina replied.
"Kat…"
"Don't play shy with me, Dylan. I know you're not…ok, I've scene you with women you're anything but, shy nor, innocent."
"Yeah, but, none of them are Fox's sisters. He'll…he'll…I'm as good as dead if I lay one hand on you."
"He'll never have to know.", she replied edging closer to him. "It'll be our little naughty secret.", she added. "So what you say Dylan ?", she whispered seductively.
"You are hot…and your breast oh God they fell so nice.", Dylan said fiddling with her breast.
"Dylan, would you like to have this all for yourself ?"
"All Night Long.", Dylan said unbuttoning her shirt. "There so…so perky."
"You like ?", Kathelina asked noticing how aroused he was getting.
Dylan reach around behind her and began to unfasten her bra.
"God, your so beautiful.", he moaned. "I got to have you…I need you."
"Then take me…take me anywhere you want."
"Oh God Katherine you're all woman. I've never scene no one this…wow."
Dylan took her nipples in his hands and corseted them till they were hard then he proceeded to suck them.
"Oh God…Dylan. That…don't stop.", Kathelina moaned. 'God, come Kat, you can't do this. You got to turn him on just enough to make him want more, but God I want him, I've never felt like this…'
She was caught up in the moment that she didn't notice Dylan had lifted her skirt and had eased down her panties.
"Dylan, uh I…I…I Oh God…what are you doing to me."
"Pleasing you, making you fell feelings you never knew existed."
"Dylan…I'm…I…I…", Kathelina said trying to get words to form, but couldn't.
"Dylan, I can't do this… I'm …I'm not ready for this…I'm sorry.", she finally said after much trouble. "I think you should leave… call a cab, call a friend, whatever just get out."
"Katherine, I'm… I wasn't taking advantage of you. I thought you want this."
"I do, but not now. I'm…I'm not ready."
"I understand…", Dylan lied. 'God, I want her…she's everything I ever wanted.'
"Ok, so can you just get out, you know before Nick get home I don't want to have to explain this.", Kathelina replied knowing Dylan would get the hint.
"Ok, Kat, I uh…I uh…I'll see myself out.", with that he wax gone.
"God, that was the hardest thing I've ever done.", she breathed.

"Whitney.", Ethan greeted. "You wanted to see me ?", he asked.
"Yeah, I, I did I wanted to thank you for helping with the plan to seduce Fox."
"Shh.", Fox whispered.
"Where's Ethan and Whit ?", Theresa whispered.
"Listen.", he replied.
"Anytime, besides you got what you wanted and I got what I wanted and the best part is Theresa thinks I had nothing to do with it, and all you had to do was seduce Fox while Theresa was mad at him via the kiss that he witnessed. To bad he never figured out the truth that I kissed Theresa. "
"I know how stupid are they ?", Whitney replied added fuel to the fire.
"I don't know but, thanks to Dylan, planting seeds in Theresa mind of Fox and your sleeping together and Theresa walking in on that X- rated conversation the other day, There's no chance for them to ever be together."
"Well, I must say I thought you were never going to get rid of Gwen.", Whitney said knowing Fox, Theresa and Gwen were there.
"I did too, Thank God that lying bitch is out of my life. She took everything away from me, me name, my money and the woman I love. She'll pay, she'll see how it is to lose everything when I take Josh away from her."
"You're going do what, Ethan ?", Gwen said busting in the room where Whitney and Ethan were.
"Busted.", Fox smirked.
"Gwen, I can…", he began.
"Save it. Ethan we heard everything.", Gwen replied.
"Hello, Ethan.", Theresa said making her presents known. "Nice to know that you actually have a truthful bone in your body."
"Theresa, I uh… how much did you hear ?", Ethan asked.
"Everything. From how and what you did to me and Theresa to what you have in store for Gwen.", Fox said walking over to where Whitney and Theresa stood. "You didn't succeed in breaking us up and you never will."
"Whitney, you, you turned on me.", Ethan exclaimed.
"I was never on your side, Ethan. I'm happy for them and you should be too. You had a chance to change, you have a child and a wife who loved you, but now you have nothing.", Whitney replied.
"A wife who loved me ? Gwen, destroyed me she took everything from me.", Ethan yelled. "Theresa, come on you know I- I still love you, and I know you still love me.", Ethan begged.
"Ethan, no .", Theresa said blinking back the tears that were forming in her eyes. "I will always care about you, you were my first love but, I'm happy, I'm so happy and I wish you could find the same, but it can't and will never be with me, my life is here with Fox and Little Ethan.", Theresa said tears spilling down her checks. "Do you remember the day you told me to find happiness with someone else, well I have and I hope you do too. Who knows maybe one day you and Gwen can have absolution and start over and raise Josh in an loving environment.", Theresa said as sort of a goodbye. "Here, I should have given you this back along time ago.", Theresa said taking off the promise ring Ethan gave her. "I don't know why I held on to it for so long . I guess I- I just didn't want to accept changes.", Theresa added.
"Theresa, please keep it, keep it to remember our love.", Ethan replied.
"No, I can't Ethan, it's time to let go of those dreams we had and move on.", Theresa replied. "Fox, are you ready to go ?", Theresa asked turning towards Fox.
"Yeah, Gwen you go with us ?", Fox asked.
"No, I need to speak with Ethan first.", Gwen replied.
Fox nodded and then he and Theresa left followed by Whitney.
"Gwen, I hate you, you took her from me…", Ethan began.
"Aren't I allowed to make mistakes ? Ethan, we were all young and foolish. But, I guess I was the foolish one out of all 3 of us, I took you back and I actually believed you loved me, yes I did all sorts of things to both you and Theresa but, I was hurt as well. Every time, I did something I'd regret it. I was slowly turning into my mother and I wanted no part of it. I realized that the night I tipped off the reporters that the letter was sent from Theresa's computer, but thanks to Rebecca and the circumstances after Theresa got pregnant and you left her, I just keep right on this destructive path.", Gwen replied.
"Why Gwen ? Did you hate Theresa that much, did it ever occur to you that you were not just hurting Theresa but, Julian, mother and I.", Ethan yelled.
"All I cared about was hurting Theresa, nothing else mattered.", Gwen replied.
"Well it did matter, damn it, if not for you I'd be the Crane heir, I'd be with Theresa, we'd be married.", Ethan shouted.
"I know and believe me, Ethan. When I say if I could do it over I would, I'd never would have sent that e- mail.", Gwen replied. "But, I did, and we have a child and Theresa's with Fox, nothing can change that."
"Yeah, well I know one thing I am going to make you fell the same pain I do, mark my words Gwen you will suffer the same kind of lose that I did. You'll lose the one person you hold dear to you.", Ethan bluffed.
"Ethan, what are you talking about ? Ethan you're….", Gwen began.
"How does it fell, Gwen ? To know that you're life's being controlled by an outside force and you can do nothing to stop it.", Ethan replied.
"Ethan, you need help…", Gwen replied.
"No, what I need is for you to get the hell out of my life.", Ethan yelled.
"Gladly, but I swear if you do anything to me or anyone I care about I'll kill you.", Gwen replied then stormed out.
