Gabi slammed the door and started to walk upstairs.

"Stop!" Sam said.

"What do you want?" She said mad.

"Ok I'm going to give you a chance to rephrase that before I decided to get really mad." Sam said shocked.

"Ok. Is there something I can help you with?" Gabi said trying not to seem mad.

"I want to know if you're ok."

"I'm fine. Now can I please go to my room?" Gabi said annoyed.

"No, how about you sit down and talk to me." Sam said motioning towards to couch.

"No I'd rather go to my room."

"It wasn't a question." Sam said as he sat down on the couch.

Gabi sat down next to him.

"Ok, what's wrong?"

"I don't what to talk about it."

"Well that's too bad because you are going to talk about it."

"Why can't the members of this family just let people be?"

"Because that's just not they way we live. I don't know why anyone would want to live like that. It shows that we care for each other."

"Well could you maybe not care for me so much right now?"

Sam laughed. "No, sorry so how about you tell me what's wrong?"

"My mom's leaving."

"Why do you think she's leaving?" Sam asked confused.

"Because she told me."

"Does your father know?"

"Yeah, he knows not that he cares."

"Why do you think he doesn't care?"

"Because all he did was scream at me."

"For what?"

"For being honest with my mother."

"Gabi…."

"What! That's what I did! I told her I didn't trust her. That she was giving up too soon. That she never even tried!"

"Well is that what you really believe?"

"I don't know what to believe anymore. A few days ago I believed my mother was dead. And yesterday I believed that my mother was alive and that she was going to marry my father and we were going to live happily ever after. I don't know what to believe now. I'm just so confused." Gabi said as she started to cry.

Sam just held her and let her cry.

"Are you ok?" Miguel asked Kay as he came out of the kids' rooms.

"Yeah I'm so happy that I want to throw a party." Kay said smiling.

Miguel gave her a strange look. "You sure you ok?"

"Yes, why wouldn't I be?"

"Well your parents just agreed to get a divorce."

"Which is a good thing."

"How?"

"Well I never really liked my mother and the only reason I ever had to hear about her or deal with her was because she was married to my father. Now that she isn't…"

"You don't have to deal with her?"

"Exactly. Now I can just be grateful for everything I have. My five wonderful children, my handsome husband, my great job and the wonderful life I have."

"Well I must say I like the attitude change."

"Thought you would." Kay said smiling. "So are the kids asleep?"

"Yes."

"Then how about the two of us go have our own little private party?"

"I love that idea." Miguel said as he started to lead Kay into their bedroom.

"So what are going to make ground rules or something?" Theresa asked sarcastically.

"In away I guess. Look we're both new at raising a child together so maybe we both just need to feel this out."

"I thought you didn't want me to mess with your family?"

"I was mad ok? I'm not used to having other people making decision about Gabi with out consulting me first. Especially when it comes to boys."

"You're just not used to Gabi and boys." Theresa pointed out.

"Yeah, I'm not."

"Maybe that may be another reason you were mad?"

"That's a good possibility."

"Look I'm sorry Ethan, I didn't mean to upset you ok? I never even expected to ever come back. To ever be able to be with your again or Gabi. This is all a little unexpected for me. I don't really know what to do."

"Me either. I never in my worse dream imagined you'd come back and then leave me."

"Me either. I don't want to leave you but I'm not so sure that you and Gabi are ready for me to be in your lives."

"We are we just don't know how to deal with you in our lives. But I think if we all three put our heads together we can figure out a way."

"Three? You really think Gabi will ever speak to me again?"

"Yeah I don't think she really has a choice in the matter."

"Ethan, no I don't want you to make her talk to me. I want her to do it by her own free will."

"Well in that case then I don't know."

"There's had to be a way for me to be able to reach her. Have any ideas?"

"The only advice I can offer is don't keep changing your mind. She has always had a problem with change."

"Sounds like she got that from the both of us. Well how about let's go home?"

"Sure and pray that our daughter had calmed down." Ethan said a she put his arm around Theresa and lead her back home.

"Well I got in touch with our contact." Alistair said as he came back into the cell.

"I'm not listening." Julian said trying to ignore him.

"Yes you are because you are a key part of my plan."

"No, father I'm not. I'm perfectly content with spending the rest of my life in this jail cell."

"Even if it means we could get revenge?"

"We never get revenge, father because none of your plans ever work. I mean how many times have we tried to separate Luis and Sheridan? Too many and it never worked."

"Well this one will."

"What's so different about this plan then all the others?"

"This one will work."

"Sure, father. And the Cranes will have control of the world again." Julian said sarcastically.
