Pilar treated everyone to dinner that night, and afterwards, Theresa and
Chad went gambling at Caesar's Place, while Fox and Whitney went to see the
famous Celine Dion show at the MGM. Luis and Sheridan were at the
apartment debating if the should go out. They watched Michelle play with
baby Martin, and Ethan was watching closely too.
Michelle always ha a special spot for children, but when she found out that she couldn't have children anymore, she just devoted her time to her nieces and nephews.
"She is really having a good time with Martin. She's good with children. Maybe we could have Ethan and Michelle watch Martin and he go out, there already here with little Ethan, come on Sher", Luis said.
"I don't know, maybe Ethan wouldn't feel comfortable taking care of two children", Sheridan countered.
"No, I wouldn't mind at all. Michelle and I have seen everything here anyways. GO, have fun, seriously, we are happy to stay here at watch the kids, it's ok", he said.
"Are you sure, I mean.....", she began.
"GO, have fun before we leave to Harmony. You guys need time to yourselves too", Ethan said.
"Okay, Come on Sher. We'll go sightseeing at the different casinos", Luis said.
They were out the door, and Ethan chuckled at the thought of those two. He looked back at Michelle playing with Martin, and saw his future with her, yet he was still confused. Michelle looked over at Ethan and grinned. She walked over to Ethan with the infant, and looked around for Sheridan and Luis.
"Hey, where did mommy and daddy go?", she asked.
"They went out sightseeing, I told them we would watch the little ones for them", he answered.
"Well it's looks like it's just us four little one, right?", she asked baby Martin.
He began to cry, and Michelle noticed it was around 8pm, his evening feeding.
"Uh oh, somebody is hungry. I think it's time for a feast right?, she said heading for the kitchen.
Ethan laughed at her talking to little Martin. She began to rock him and feed him at the same time. She hummed 'Rock-a-bye baby', as she fed him. Ethan watched her, and thought "she would be a terrific mother, but so is Theresa".
Michelle put him in the room with Little Ethan, he fell asleep also. She watched these two. Thinking they had a ruff year, but now everything is settled, and they are with the right parents. Walking back to the front room, she saw Ethan leaning on the couch, waiting for her. He had a goofy grin on his face.
"What are you grinning about, or should I even ask", she said approaching him.
He wrapped his arm around her waist, and motioned her to sit down with him on the couch to watch television.
"Come sit with me and watch Bloomberg. I have to see what is going on with the stocks at Crane Industries", he said.
"Ethan what did I tell you before?", she said sitting down.
"Leave work at work and be free at home", he mocked.
"Are you mocking me?", she crossed her arms.
"No, never", he said playfully.
"Exactly, so turn on....let's see.......Charmed! I love that show, I missed it last week, since that case paperwork took longer than thought", she said exited.
"Ok", he laughed.
She unconsciously snuggled in his arms, and he happened to noticed. She was a perfect match. He wanted her so badly, yet for some reason, he still thought about Theresa. Michelle was an even balance of Gwen and Theresa. Fun, exotic, and loving, but when business called, her game face was on. She didn't let her place of being an heir take her life over, nor did she do everything else that people in her social circle did. She chose her path, and lived it to the fullest. It was something that he admired about her, and she showed him to do the same.
Pilar walked in to se them together, and she smiled. Pilar always thought they were terrific together. She got to know her through Ethan. She met her once, and it was when he was graduating. She caught them kissing the last time they could see each other. She was infuriated when she watched what Julian did to them, ironically, he wasn't even the heir to the Crane's so now, even if he chooses either woman, she knew it would be because he was happy. Not for pre-arrangements. The only thing she regretted was that he lost so much time with both Theresa and Michelle, it may have been so different.
"Ethan, Michelle were is everyone?", she said walking in.
"Out around Las Vegas, is everything ok?", Michelle said walking over to Pilar.
"Yes, I'm fine. For once I got to relax, I haven't in years. I wanted to tell you thank you for everything, it means so much to all of us", she said.
"Don't mention it, all in a days work", she grinned.
"Well, I'm turning in, that Wayne Newton was tiresome, promise me when Tom Jones plays, that you guys would get me the tickets", she joked.
"Will do, and I'm glad you enjoyed yourself", Ethan said hugging her.
She walked into her room, and Michelle and Ethan walked back to the couch to continue the show.
~Flashback~
"US vs. blank", he asked.
"Stewart", she answered.
"Correct", he answered.
"Well, I'm ready, are you?", she asked.
"Yeah, you?"
"Yeah, I'll ace finals".
"I'll make the curve".
"Right and I'll dance in the ballet in New York", she sarcastically noted.
"Well, if you do, you'll be the sexiest ballerina I ever saw", he said kissing her.
"Flattery will get you no where Crane", she joked.
"Bring it on Bradford", he said jumping on her.
They fell on to his bed. They were inches away from connecting. There faces were nose to nose, and the heat rose in the room. Michelle wasn't ready, and neither was he. They agreed to wait until there wedding night, but right now anything was possible. They both had the feeling this may be there night together, but wasn't for sure.
"I need to go", she breathed.
"Stay", he said laying on her.
"Ethan", she warned, "Remember Gwen saw us last time. You know word got back to Julian, and I SWORE to stay away from you. She probably is watching right now. I shouldn't even be here", she said jumping up to grab her things.
Ethan grabbed her hand and looked at her.
"Please, just tonight, I know this is dangerous, but I don't care, I love you, and we are together, and plan to marry. Just tonight, nothing will happen, it's just when you are away, I can't take it", he pleaded.
"Ok but sleeping nothing else", she said.
"Sleeping", he said wrapping his arms around her.
They laid down on his bed and wrapped every limb around each other.
"Good Night Michelle"
"Good Night Ethan".
They turned off the light and went to sleep.
Gwen and Rebecca were outside, watching the room, knowing it was there last together. They had enough proof to get them spilt up before graduation. She would be Mrs. Ethan Crane, and Michelle would marry Steven Smith, it was a sacrifice to share him, but in the and it would pay off
"Jackpot", they said together.
Michelle always ha a special spot for children, but when she found out that she couldn't have children anymore, she just devoted her time to her nieces and nephews.
"She is really having a good time with Martin. She's good with children. Maybe we could have Ethan and Michelle watch Martin and he go out, there already here with little Ethan, come on Sher", Luis said.
