A/N---I admit it...I haven't been watching Passions lately...none of the
current or concurring storylines interest me in the least...I keep up with
the soap with Dustin's summaries and tune in occasionally...the idea for
this fan fic came to my head because of all the debates on the Passions
forum about Ethan/Theresa/Gwen and so I decided to put an alternate ending
to the LA storyline...fair warning...this is not a story for Ethan
fans...Gwen and Theresa fans welcome...I know you will enjoy
it....everything happened exactly the way it did on the soap...all I'm
changing is the outcome of the story. Oh and everything happens in one day
hence the title, lol
Disclaimer: I own nothing...except the plotline...
Chapter 1: Gwen
LA Hospital
Gwen Winthrop leans over her daughter's bassinet, her lean face bathed in tears as she recalls the events that had led to her daughter's death.
Gwen's flashback
"Mrs. Winthrop, you need your rest, lie down and try to sleep," one of her nurses tells her.
"I'm not sleepy Dorian and I'm bored. I'll try to sleep after watching the news, I promise," Gwen replies flipping the channels. Her dark eyes widen in anger when she sees the cap of her husband and Theresa making out on a deserted beach.
"No, it can't be. Ethan wouldn't cheat on me. I know he wouldn't. Besides, Theresa isn't even in LA," Gwen murmurs to herself as she walks into the apartment complex. She has almost convinced herself that the video clip was a farce when she ran smack into her archrival. Theresa's chocolaty brown eyes widen in surprise when she sees Gwen standing in front of her.
"Gwen" she murmurs, stunned when Gwen smacks her across the face.
"Damn, you Theresa. Damn you to hell. I am not going to let you sink your claws into my husband, do you understand? Ethan married me, he chose me, not you, when are you going to get that through your thick head? Ethan and I are having a baby and we are going to be a family. Leave us alone you lying, manipulative whore!" Gwen Winthrop yells at her rival.
"Gwen, I know that you are upset but please think about you baby. I don't think now is the time to get into this. Calm down and let me get Ethan. You should be in bed," Theresa replies calmly, turning on her heel to walk back into the apartment.
"Oh, no you don't you bitch. You are not going to play hero in front of Ethan. You and I are going to have this out, right here, right now," Gwen replies furiously, pulling Theresa by the arm roughly.
"Gwen, you are hurting me, let go of my arm," Theresa begs but Gwen only twists her arm harder, anger and revulsion etched on every one of her features.
"You really thought you would get away with it didn't you?" Gwen states amazedly.
"I don't know what you are talking about Gwen," Theresa answers, yanking her arm away from Gwen's grasp and rubbing it softly.
"Don't play innocent Theresa. Did you really think you could carry on an affair with Ethan with me none the wiser? How low can you get Theresa? I mean you've done some despicable things in the past but sleeping with a married man while his pregnant wife is lying in a hospital bed fighting to save her baby's life tops the list. How did you know we'd be in LA anyway?" she asks her rival.
"I didn't know Gwen. I came out here to be with Whitney, Chad, and Fox," Theresa replies honestly.
"I don't believe you, Theresa. You are a lying, cheating skunk with the morals of an alley cat and you make me sick. My God why is it so hard for you to accept the fact that Ethan chose me and that we are happy together?" Gwen asks her rival. Theresa doesn't reply, not wanting to make a complicated situation worse. Gwen's face was pale and her eyes were dilated with pain.
"She's in labor and doesn't know it" Theresa realizes with shock.
"Gwen, you are obviously in pain. Let me help you back to the apartment. You're in labor," Theresa tells Gwen.
"I don't need you to do me any favors, you bitch," Gwen replies contemptuously, a low moan escaping her lips as a contraction hits her. "Answer me Theresa, why can't you leave Ethan alone?" she screams at her rival when the pain eases somewhat. Theresa's silence grates on Gwen's nerves and she yanks her rival by the hair to get her attention. Theresa screams in pain and finally her anger gets the best of her.
"Alright you want to know why, Gwen? I'll tell you, because Ethan isn't happy with you. He married you out of duress; he admitted to me that if you hadn't gotten pregnant he would have proposed to me that night. Ethan married you because you were pregnant but I'm the woman he loves and we will be together and there's nothing you can do to stop us," a frustrated Theresa screams, turning her back on her nemesis and walking back toward the Crane apartment to get help for Gwen despite her protests. A pale Gwen stares after her, hatred and rage overpowering her common sense.
"Bitch," Gwen yells pulling Theresa by the hair and beginning to choke the life out of her. "You will never be with Ethan, Theresa. Never, do you hear me? I will kill you first," she shrieks. Theresa tries to pull away, but Gwen only presses tighter and a desperate Theresa pushes Gwen with all her strength in an effort to escape Gwen's deadly hold. Gwen loses her balance when Theresa pulls away, falling to the ground in a pool of blood.
"Gwennnnnnnnnn" Theresa yells.
End flashback
"Sarah, please forgive me. I never meant for things to turn out this way," Gwen murmurs to her daughter, as wrenching sobs wrack her fragile frame and her grief overwhelms her. Just then the door opens and a startled Gwen wipes her tears and stares with hatred at the intruder.
"What the hell are you doing here?" she shouts.
A/N- Thought that was a nice way of ending the chapter. Who's Gwen's mystery visitor? In order to find out you've got to keep reading. Lol.
