They were at the enterance to the Crane Mansion.
"Go in and be with Gwen, and be the loving husband, for now. I'll follow in five minutes. I have to call my superior, okay", she said.
"I rather be your loving husband, but don't be long, alright?", he answered.
He kissed her passionately, something she wanted badly. The kiss also motivated her to want this family brought down. He walked in and his name was announced for him to enter.
"Mr. Ethan Winthrop".
Gwen marched over in a huff. Rebecca was on her tail wondering where Little Ethan was.
"Where have you been? You leave out of here with Theresa's son, and stay out all day! You were with her weren't you? Answer me!", Gwen demanded.
"Better yet, explain why Little Ethan isn't here?", Rebecca wondered.
"He's where he belongs, with his mother in Las Vegas", he sternly said.
"WHAT!", they shrieked in unison.
~Outside~
"Everything is in place, Bradford. Alistair is in custody finally. The money has been trandferred as you requested, so you can proceed with the plan", the male informed.
"10-4".
Putting her cell phone in her purse, she walked in and the announcer was shocked to see her. She saw Fox and Whitney talking, and Sam and Ivy were talking with Chad. Juilian and Eve were in the corner talking as Liz and T.C. walked in. The announcer said her name.
"Ms. Michelle Bradford".
The crowd looked over at the doorway, and saw her standing there with a grin on her face. Ethan was grinning as much. Gwen put the two together, and was infuritated.
"YOU BITCH, IT WAS YOU WASN'T IT!", Gwen screamed.
"Gwendolyn, how lovely it is to see you and Rebecca again. Let's see it's been a long time that we haven't seen each other", Michelle said nicely.
"What are you doing here, you tramp?", Rebecca asked.
The music stopped and the crowd was focused on the three women, and Ethan walked to stand with Michelle. It was a blow to Gwen's ego, but she stood strong, thinking 'I have his ring and his first born, he's not leaving me for her, I took him once from her, I'll do it again'.
"It's funny you ask that. You see this", she said pulling out three warrents, "This one is for you Gwen".
She began to circle around the two as if they were her prey as she explained to them and the crowd what this spetical was.
"There is one for Rebecca for her invovlement of Sheridan's death on the boat, and her involvement of Theresa. Juilian has one for his involvment in Sheridan's death on the boat, and the federal crimes he and Alistair comitted in this community. Like I explained to Ethan and Luis, Crane Industries doctored their books, and the IRS became invovled. Well, when they were bought off, the FBI was told to investigate the practicings of the Crane Family. Their were informants all around, and they know about everything that happened in this house, even things before you and I were born. You see, after you three split Ethan and I up, I became an informant with the FBI. My assignment was to gather enough evidence to bring the family to jail. Well, I learned a lot more than fraud being comitted in this house. Like murder, drugging, breaking an entry", she explained.
Gwen kept a glamorous face on the whole time, along with her mother.
"I'm not a burgular. I don't break into houses, what are you talking about?", she laughed.
"Breaking into an computer is breaking an entry. The whole scam of making Theresa take the fall for the tabliod report that you and your mother sent in. I think Ivy would love to testify to Rebecca's antics, I mean Gwen, do you know that she stole your father away from her fiancee? That's how she knows to steal men away. Nothing has changed, except the players in this production. There's also assult and battery on Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald. The list goes on and on", Michelle pointed out.
"She had it coming. She is a liar and bad mother. SHE KILLED OUR SARAH!", Gwen screamed.
"Well, remember, what goes around comes around", she said getting her handcuffs.
"Gwendolyn Ingrid Hotchkiss-Wnithrop, you are under arrest for the crimes listed on this warrent against Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald", she continued.
Her back-up arrested Rebecca on blackmale, breaking an entry, and falsifying charges about an minor. After arresting Gwen and Rebecca, Michelle talked to Juilian.
"We don't exactly have the best past, but I do feel for you. I know you were pushed to doing things you didn't, but that deosn't mean you won't be punished. If you turn federal evidence, I'll talk to my superiors to get you a deal, sending you to federal prison for a short amount of time, just tell them about everything Alistair has done. It's your call", she explained.
"Thank you, and I'm sorry. I know how it can be to have someone taken away from you. Just one thing, you know who my son is? Could you please tell Eve", he asked in the back of the police car.
"Chad Harris".
"Seriously".
"Very, I'll talk to them tomorrow morning", she stated.
"Thank you, and I'll accept your offer", he said.
His car drove off, and she walked over to the police car with Gwen and Rebecca in the back seat.
"I'll be out in 20 mintues.I have money", she told Michelle.
"Not anymore", Michelle said grinning.
"Well, Ethan loves me, not you. I'll have him defend me. It doesn't matter, you think you have won, but you haven't, he'll be with me. Besides daddy will help us", Gwen grinned.
"Nope, you see, Ethan knows about everything. Frankly he's disgusted with you. As for the money, everything that Alistair and Juilian owned actually belongs to the Lopez-Fitzgeralds. Oh and Gwen, husbands can't defend wives. You obviously weren't paying attention in class", she said laughing.
"NO YOU CAN'T BE SERIOUS! LET ME OUT OF HERE! NOOOOOO!", the women screamed together.
Michelle tapped the car and they drove off. Walking back into the mansion, she saw Ethan and Chad talking.
"Well tonight was eventful just like you said", Ethan mentioned.
Fox and Whitney walked over, and Whitney was looking very confused.
"What was that talk with Juilian about my mother having a child. It has bothered me since you said something yesterday. Please explain it to me, I need to know", she said slowly.
Michelle walked back into the living room, and people were still clearing out of the home, not wanting to be around this evil place. She really didn't want to her, she wanted Eve to talk to her, and tell her about what happened then.
"Please, if you are any friend to me, you have to tell me", Whitney pleaded.
"Well, Juilian and Eve were in a relationship together at one time. When Alistair found out about it, he called Ivy's father, and had them began to court one another. As they were frowning closer to marry, Eve found out she was pregnant, and she delivered a baby boy. Well we know who the child is. As I said before, Martin overheard the information, and Alistair had him killed. The FBI knows who the child is", Michelle explained.
Whitney practically fell to the ground, and Fox tried to comfort her. Fox and chad helped her up and to stay balanced. This was the part of the job Michelle didn't like, telling truths that may devastate a family.
"Who is it?", Fox spoke up.
Ethan and Michelle knew, and Ehtan glanced at Michelle.
"WHO IS IT?", Whitney sobbed.
Eve, T.C., and Liz rushed over to see what was going on with the group. Seeing that Whitney was distraught, she pushed Fox and Chad away to see what was wrong. She glanced at Michelle, giving her a look that could kill. Michelle touched her shoulder, and Eve flinched at her touch.
"Dr. Russell, we need to talk alone, please. I don't want to talk in front of everyone", Michelle said.
"No, you say whatever you need to say to me right here, right now, I have nothing to hide", she said pushing her away.
"Mom, I don't feel so good, can we sit down please?", Whitney said.
T.C. was eyeing Chad, and CHad didn't like it too much. He knew what was coming next.
"It was him, the street punk, he's always the source of my baby's pain!", T.C. accused.
"No, I didn't do anything, Michelle was explaining something to Whitney, I swear! You always think the worse of me! I didn't nothing wrong, but love your daughter", Chad countered.
T.C. grabbed his collar and almost hit him. It took Sam and Ethan to calm them down.
"STOP OR I'LL ARREST YOU BOTH!", Michelle screamed.
"Now dammit, sit down, and I'll explain everything", she continued.
Everyone sat down, and Michelle began.
Now, Eve is your maiden is Johnson, right?", she said.
Eve heistated, and Michelle kneeled in front of her.
"Whether you answer honestly or not, I have the proof in my room, so just answer honestly, and we'll move on", she said to her.
"What is the point of this? I mean she's a respectable citizen in this community, not to....." T.C. ranted.
"If you will stop talking, and listen then you'll know why I'm doing this. Remember, this is my investigation, and if you or anyone else jepordizes it, I'll arrest you too", she said to T.C., "just answer the question, Eve".
"Yes".
"Now why you didn't connect the two before is beyond me T.C. . Eve and Liz are sisters, but not everything is true that Liz has told you about her sister. She isn't the whore, or drug addicted woman she said. That Liz didn't get raped by her father, her parents are respected proffesors at Boston College. Eve and Juilian were invovled along time ago, and were in love. Juilian and Eve had a child, but Alistair made them think that he was dead, but he's very alive and well......" she said.
"WHAT! MY WIFE AND JUILIAN! YOU'RE LYING!", T.C. screamed at her.
She eyed him, and it intiminated him. For once a woman didn't back down to him, and frankly it shocked him.
"Am I?, she said to Eve, looking at T.C. .
"Eve tell this wanna be agent that she is wrong. That she is delusional", he eyed her back.
"No, she's right T.C., I'm sorry, I wish it wasn't true, but I do love you, and I love T.C.", Eve said slowly.
Ivy and Liz grinned, and it infuriated Michelle. Ivy wasn't the Ivy she remembered, even if she loved before Juilian. It wasn't in Ivy's character to ruin a family to get a man, but in time she would have to tell Ethan about her evil deeds, just not right now.
"Also Liz and Ivy knew, they were blackmailing Eve about it", Michelle added.
"You knew, and I defended you to my wife, and you pay me back this way!", T.C. exclaimed.
"And I thought you changed Ivy", Sam said walking off.
~Las Vegas, Nevada~
Pilar, Theresa, Luis, Little Ethan, Sheridan, and Little Martin were gathered in a chapel.
"Do you Sheridan Crane take Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald to be your lawful wedded husband. To have and hold, for richer and poorer, in sickness and health, til death do you part?", the judge asked.
"I do", she said tearfully.
"And do you Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald take Sheridan Crane to your lawful wedded husband To have and hold, for richer and poorer, in sickness and health, til death do you part?", the judge asked.
"I do", he answered.
"By the state of Nevada, in the county of Clark, I pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride".
Sheridan and Luis kissed, waiting for this moment forever. This was the day they been waiting for since they met, actually since they discovered their love for one another. Backing away from each other, they grinned at one another like they were two kids on Christmas Day. Pilar went to congradulate them on finally tying the knot. Theresa sat looking on at the family, wondering will she ever have that day. More importantly, who would it be with?
~Harmony, Maine~
Beth Wallace was worried about Luis and "their" baby. They hadn't checked in yet from Vermont.
"Where could have gone, I know he has no friends in Vermont", she said worried to her mother.
"Maybe he caught on to you, and took the baby to find Sheridan. You're gig is up Bethie, and when he finds out, you're going down faster than the Titanic", Edna joked.
"NO! I suggest you keep quiet or I'll ship you to a nursing home!"
There was a knock at the door. There were three FBI agents at her doorstep.
"Are you Elizabeth Wallace?", the woman asked.
"Yes, is this about my son?', she asked.
"Sheridan's son yes. You are under arrest for kidnapping Martin Crane Lopez-Fitzgerald. Also for the attemped murder and kidnapping of Sheridan Crane Lopez-Fitzgerald", the man answered handcuffing her.
"Where is my son? This is a mistake, tell them mother!", she screamed.
"He's with his real mother, and we've done surveilance on your home, we also know that you ran Gwen Winthrop over with your car. DNA results have confirmed that his mother is Sheridan Lopez-Fitzgerald, and his father to be Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald", he replied.
"No! He's mine!, MOTHER! HELP ME!", she screamed.
"Angels in the heavens, you heard me! You answered all of our prayers!", Edna and Previous kneeled for joy.
"Mrs. Wallace?"
"Ms."
"Michelle Bradford will be calling tomorroe to make arrangements for you and your pet", he said.
"A nursing home?"
"No, to try and equipt your home for you to live alone. Elizabeth will be doing some serious time for her crimes".
"I understand, just tell her to call when ever she needs to. I'm not going anywhere", she grinned.
Every inch of the home was searched for evidence, and they collected her fake "pregnancy" belly and the DVD made to send to Luis.
~Crane Mansion~
T.C. was pacing around to calm his nerves. Liz was petrified and didn't know what to think. Eve sat with Whitney and consoled her, or at least tried to.
"I didn't get to finish my explaination. At Juilian's request, Juilian asked me to tell you who it is", Michelle began.
"HIS REQUEST! HIS REQUEST DOESN'T MATTER TO ME! EVE LIED!", T.C. ranted.
"Listen, if you don't calm down, I'll arrest you, and I'm not joking", she warned.
"Alright, just say it then", he said.
"It's you Chad. You have seen you parents all along, and didn't know it thanks to Alistair", she said.
"NOOO!", Whitney cried.
"How can that be Mrs. Russell? We did DNA tests and everything", Chad pleaded.
"Because Alistair doctored the results. That, along with other crimes, is why he is going to jail for a long time", Michelle answered.
"Thank you", Eve answered.
She walked over to T.C., and he flinched at her touch. His world as he knew it was crumbling to pieces. His daughter was in love with not a 'street punk', but the love child between his wife and Juilian. The woman he almost had an affair with was Eve's sister, and to top it off, he treated this boy with no respect, for no reason, but the fact was he was a Crane, and maybe, just maybe they weren't all that bad.
"I need time to think", he said confused and angred.
"I'll talk to him", Chad said to Eve.
He walked in the direction that T.C. walked, and Sam followed to make sure that they wouldn't kill each other.
Ivy and Liz walked to Eve, taunting her.
"Well well, looks to me I got the better end of the deal. unlike you two", Ivy teased.
"Well. I would be careful, because if she knew that, she has to know everything you have done to Sam and Grace", Eve spat back.
"I can't believe he got mad at me", Liz whinned.
"You're just stupid", Eve said walking away.
Michelle walked over to Ivy and confronted her.
"I know you love Sam, but sooner or later, Ethan will know about you and David's scheme, more or less your scheme. To be honest, I do love you, like a mother, but no man is worth tearing a family apart", she said.
"You wouldn't know", she said to her.
"But I do, I waited and waited, and I went to the law to help me get him away from a woman who comitted crimes. I could have let him go down, but Ethan is naive to everything, including, so here's my suggestion, tell Sam about David, and I won't say anything, but if you don't it will come out, whether in Gwen's trial, Rebecca's, or even Alistair's, because right now he's singing like Justin Timberlake, and it's only a matter of time", she said walking away towards Ethan and Fox.
Ivy got worried, because everything was going so well, and now she was wishing that Michelle never came back, but she thought, "she's right, it will come out evenually, so I should tell him before anybody else does".
"This is never easy", she whispered.
"I'm going to be there for her. I'm going to help Whitney through this", Fox said.
"Be just a friend, nothing more. She may not want or be ready for a relationship', Ethan said.
"What would you know", Fox countered.
"Because losing everything you trust isn't something you can recover from overnight, it takes time. All three of us know that from first hand experience", she said looking at Eve and Whitney hug each other.
Ethan shunned away, knowing that Michelle was talking about them, and her mother dying. He walked over to sit alone thinking what he may do when he sees Theresa, considering the kiss they shared before. Michelle walked over to Whitney, who at this point was standing alone.
"I know what you are going through. Learning the truth is one big lie. Come go to my hotel and you can talk to Theresa", she said calmly.
"No, could I just talk with you. I mean, I love Theresa like a friend, almost like a sister, but she has too much drama in her life right now Is that ok with you?", she said.
"Sure let me tell Ethan we are leaving, and get our coats and we'll leave", Michelle answered.
Michelle left to find their coats, and Chad approached Whitney.
"I'm so so sorry", he said to her.
"Don't be, you didn't know. We will start new, expect without the make out sessions" she joked wirely.
He grinned, and gave her a hug. Michelle came back with their things, and approached Ethan.
"I'll call you tomorrow, we should talk some more", she said to him.
"I won't be here, I'll call you. Fox and I decided to leave this house, and for good", Ethan said to her.
"Well, I have one last detail to take care of, Operation Lopez-Fitzgerald", Michelle grinned.
"What is that beautiful one", Fox charmed.
"Flattery will get you everywhere, but not on this one Fox. Just like everyone else, you'll have to wait and see", she grinned and walked away
"Go in and be with Gwen, and be the loving husband, for now. I'll follow in five minutes. I have to call my superior, okay", she said.
"I rather be your loving husband, but don't be long, alright?", he answered.
He kissed her passionately, something she wanted badly. The kiss also motivated her to want this family brought down. He walked in and his name was announced for him to enter.
"Mr. Ethan Winthrop".
Gwen marched over in a huff. Rebecca was on her tail wondering where Little Ethan was.
"Where have you been? You leave out of here with Theresa's son, and stay out all day! You were with her weren't you? Answer me!", Gwen demanded.
"Better yet, explain why Little Ethan isn't here?", Rebecca wondered.
"He's where he belongs, with his mother in Las Vegas", he sternly said.
"WHAT!", they shrieked in unison.

Beth Wallace was worried about Luis and "their" baby. They hadn't checked in yet from Vermont.

Every inch of the home was searched for evidence, and they collected her fake "pregnancy" belly and the DVD made to send to Luis.
~Crane Mansion~
T.C. was pacing around to calm his nerves. Liz was petrified and didn't know what to think. Eve sat with Whitney and consoled her, or at least tried to.
"I didn't get to finish my explaination. At Juilian's request, Juilian asked me to tell you who it is", Michelle began.
"HIS REQUEST! HIS REQUEST DOESN'T MATTER TO ME! EVE LIED!", T.C. ranted.
"Listen, if you don't calm down, I'll arrest you, and I'm not joking", she warned.
"Alright, just say it then", he said.
"It's you Chad. You have seen you parents all along, and didn't know it thanks to Alistair", she said.
"NOOO!", Whitney cried.
"How can that be Mrs. Russell? We did DNA tests and everything", Chad pleaded.
"Because Alistair doctored the results. That, along with other crimes, is why he is going to jail for a long time", Michelle answered.
"Thank you", Eve answered.
She walked over to T.C., and he flinched at her touch. His world as he knew it was crumbling to pieces. His daughter was in love with not a 'street punk', but the love child between his wife and Juilian. The woman he almost had an affair with was Eve's sister, and to top it off, he treated this boy with no respect, for no reason, but the fact was he was a Crane, and maybe, just maybe they weren't all that bad.
"I need time to think", he said confused and angred.
"I'll talk to him", Chad said to Eve.
He walked in the direction that T.C. walked, and Sam followed to make sure that they wouldn't kill each other.
Ivy and Liz walked to Eve, taunting her.
"Well well, looks to me I got the better end of the deal. unlike you two", Ivy teased.
"Well. I would be careful, because if she knew that, she has to know everything you have done to Sam and Grace", Eve spat back.
"I can't believe he got mad at me", Liz whinned.
"You're just stupid", Eve said walking away.
Michelle walked over to Ivy and confronted her.
"I know you love Sam, but sooner or later, Ethan will know about you and David's scheme, more or less your scheme. To be honest, I do love you, like a mother, but no man is worth tearing a family apart", she said.
"You wouldn't know", she said to her.
"But I do, I waited and waited, and I went to the law to help me get him away from a woman who comitted crimes. I could have let him go down, but Ethan is naive to everything, including, so here's my suggestion, tell Sam about David, and I won't say anything, but if you don't it will come out, whether in Gwen's trial, Rebecca's, or even Alistair's, because right now he's singing like Justin Timberlake, and it's only a matter of time", she said walking away towards Ethan and Fox.
Ivy got worried, because everything was going so well, and now she was wishing that Michelle never came back, but she thought, "she's right, it will come out evenually, so I should tell him before anybody else does".
"This is never easy", she whispered.
"I'm going to be there for her. I'm going to help Whitney through this", Fox said.
"Be just a friend, nothing more. She may not want or be ready for a relationship', Ethan said.
"What would you know", Fox countered.
"Because losing everything you trust isn't something you can recover from overnight, it takes time. All three of us know that from first hand experience", she said looking at Eve and Whitney hug each other.
Ethan shunned away, knowing that Michelle was talking about them, and her mother dying. He walked over to sit alone thinking what he may do when he sees Theresa, considering the kiss they shared before. Michelle walked over to Whitney, who at this point was standing alone.
"I know what you are going through. Learning the truth is one big lie. Come go to my hotel and you can talk to Theresa", she said calmly.
"No, could I just talk with you. I mean, I love Theresa like a friend, almost like a sister, but she has too much drama in her life right now Is that ok with you?", she said.
"Sure let me tell Ethan we are leaving, and get our coats and we'll leave", Michelle answered.
Michelle left to find their coats, and Chad approached Whitney.
"I'm so so sorry", he said to her.
"Don't be, you didn't know. We will start new, expect without the make out sessions" she joked wirely.
He grinned, and gave her a hug. Michelle came back with their things, and approached Ethan.
"I'll call you tomorrow, we should talk some more", she said to him.
"I won't be here, I'll call you. Fox and I decided to leave this house, and for good", Ethan said to her.
"Well, I have one last detail to take care of, Operation Lopez-Fitzgerald", Michelle grinned.
"What is that beautiful one", Fox charmed.
"Flattery will get you everywhere, but not on this one Fox. Just like everyone else, you'll have to wait and see", she grinned and walked away
