"Julian, what do you want, I have things to do?", Theresa said
walking towards him.
"What, like break up a marriage? It seems to me that is what you do best, the housekeepers daughter, who goes for the throat, and everything else"
"No, you think I do, well I'm a tycoon, I run this place, or did you forget that?"
"Wait your telling me that father and I were trying to buy into your company? You know you should stick to your day job Theresa." He said grinning.
"Ok, watch this, Sally I need you in here"
Sally walked in to her office, and she looked at Julian.
"Yes, Ms Lopez-Fitzgerald"
"Who owns all this, and who do you work for?"
"You, you started this business, and I work for you. Why, am I fired?"
Theresa grinned at Julian's shocked face, "No, I just needed to have someone tell Mr. Crane that"
"Oh, ok, well your 10, 11, and 12noon appointment cancelled, they were in the middle of an crisis"
"Send them flowers, ok"
Sally walked out, chuckling. Ethan was whistling to Theresa's office, to get some papers signed, when he heard a familiar voice, and he wasn't pleased.
"Listen Julian, this was the Company that Ethan was pitching to for you and Alistair. This is the company he's working for now, the company he left you for. It's really ironic that I have everything I always wanted. You have been miserable, married to Rebecca, Ethan still loves me, I have a beautiful son, Gwen is out of our lives, and Ivy is still mad that Ethan is with me. So really I think its about time you left."
Ethan was laughing outside her office. He was so proud of her, and he knew right then that he loved her so much.
"Well I don't care about what you have to say, I was just here to inform you that Ethan isn't mine, and I don't know who's he is, and I not paying for him like I did Ethan, if he's not a Crane, well he doesn't get the crane money. So do whatever you doing, and I'll be going"
"Good, I don't need your money anyway"
Julian stormed out of her office. She sat down to finally take everything in. Juilan wasn't Little Ethan's father. The only other person she's been with was....
"Ethan", she breathed out.
"I heard everything, this means that my godson, is really my son. Theresa, tell me the truth, did you know?"
"No, I thought that the pill always worked. I can't believe it. I'm happy, but then I'm sad, because you have missed out on so much"
"No, I'll be here, trust me, I'm not leaving you or my son"
"I know, but what if you get mad and go back to Gwen, I mean there is things that you still don't know about me, Ethan. I have lied to you in the past, and that could effect our relationship, I want to tell you everything. After that, if you leave, I understand, but if you stay, it will be a new slate, ok?"
He looked a little confused, but he shook his head yes.
"Listen to me, their was no Chuck. I was talking about you. I wanted to say that, because if I told you that it was you, at that time, it could have ruined things for you and Gwen. I have been fantasizing about you ever since I was a little girl. Not because you were Ethan Crane, but because I knew, I felt it, that there was more to you. I was right, but my lies got in our way, and I blame no one but myself. I also made sure that when you and Gwen were first married that you got turned down for every job, so that you would stay in Harmony. Ethan, I left to come out here to get away from you and Gwen. I figured, too many lies, and it was time to let go. You came back to me after all that, so fate does work, but this time is last straw. I understand if you want nothing to do with me, but you deserve to know the truth"
He sat in complete shock. She did lie to him, but she also came clean about everything. She didn't say it was out of love, or any other excuse. She just said she did it, and was willing to let him go if he wanted to go.
"Thank you Theresa"
"Huh?"
"I told me everything, and I want to thank you. You didn't use any excuses, and I respect that. But I have to tell you, I can't take anymore lies from people, even you"
"I understand, I got to go, I can't stay here"
"Why?, I'm not leaving"
"Please Ethan, don't say that, you deserve better, I should have never gotten so close, I seem to tarnish everything I come in contact with"
"No, Theresa, don't say that. You confessed to me everything, and you didn't have to, that's why I love you. I think you owe me though.
"Anything, just tell me"
"I want to find out once and for all, who sent the tabloid that information. I know you didn't do it, but I need to know, to bring me some closure, will you help me?"
"Of course, I think it would be best, if we told Fox, Whitney, and Chad that we are looking"
"Yes maybe they can help"
With that they headed back home to talk to them.
"What, like break up a marriage? It seems to me that is what you do best, the housekeepers daughter, who goes for the throat, and everything else"
"No, you think I do, well I'm a tycoon, I run this place, or did you forget that?"
