The next 2 months seemed to fly by for Theresa, Ethan and their son. Ethan brought him a toy every night after he got off of work, and tucked Little Ethan in to his bed every night at Theresa's house. They had dinner together every night with Pilar, and soon, they were just like a family. It also helped Ethan and Theresa get their relationship back on track, and it made them fall in love with each other all over again. Because Pilar had to work nights at the cannery, after Little Ethan was in bed, they always had time alone together. It seemed as though every night they took their physical relationship just a little bit further. But every night when Theresa and Ethan were together, Theresa could sense that Ethan felt a little uneasy about something. She sensed that he wanted to ask her something, but yet every night, he left her house without speaking a word about what was bothering him. Finally, Ethan decided the time was right for he and Theresa to be along together. He called her one day at home, and asked her and Little Ethan to come to his office and visit.

"Hey, there's my guy!"

"Daddy! Are you going to take us to lunch today?"

"How did you guess? Did Mommy tell you that?"

"Well, I just figured that's what you wanted, otherwise you wouldn't have asked us to come to your office in the middle of the day!"

"Actually, that's not the only reason. Hey, Little Ethan. Would you like to spend the night with Grandma Ivy and Grandpa Sam?"

"Oh boy! Mommy can I?"

Theresa suddenly got an uneasy feeling. Although she loved Sam, and he was wild about Little Ethan, the thought of Ivy taking care of her son did not sit well with her.

"I know what your thinking, Theresa", said Ethan. "But you know that Mother has tried several attempts to make amends with you. This was actually her idea."

"Her idea?"

"Yes. When I told her what I had in mind for tonight, she insisted on having Little Ethan stay with her and Sam. That way she could show you how sorry she is for all that has happened in the past."

Theresa had to admit, Ivy had changed a lot in the past few months. And when she found out all that Gwen had done to Ethan, and that Little Ethan was her grandson, she started to really warm up to Theresa. At first, Ivy didn't like the idea of Theresa and Ethan dating again, but after she and Ethan took some time to sit down and talk things out, Ivy wanted to make friends with Theresa.

"Well, Sam is a good influence on her. And he will be there all night, right?"

"Of course he will be. So what do you say, Mommy." Ethan squatted down next to his son and they both gave Theresa a pouty face. She couldn't help but laugh.

"Okay, you can stay with Grandma Ivy and Grandpa Sam."

"YEAH!", the two Ethan's screamed in unison.

"Now, let's go have some lunch, and as soon as we are done, we'll go to Grandma's!" Ethan grabbed his suit coat, and they were soon on their way out to the car.

"By the way, Ethan, what exactly do you have planned for tonight?", asked Theresa.

"Oh Mommy, that's a big surprise!", he teased as he kissed Theresa on their way out of his office.
