Chapter 5—The future begins (a few days later)

Theresa: Ethan, we have to tell Gwen and Fox about us being together again. It's only right that we do this.

Ethan: Well, baby, Gwen should be receiving the divorce papers today. While you were sleeping last night I called to the lawyer's office and had them drawn up and sent priority this morning.

Theresa: (Sighs) I just hope she doesn't try anything to break us up...but knowing her, she will.

Ethan: Baby, (hugs her close) there's nothing she CAN do to take me away from you. I love you, heart and soul. You, me, and our son are the only family I want to be with.

Theresa: (Smiles slowly as she brings her hand to her stomach) About that family...

Ethan: (Looks at Theresa's hand on her stomach) Oh my god, baby...are you saying....?

Theresa: I think it's possible that over the last few days we may have created a little brother or sister for Ethan.

Ethan: (Takes Theresa into his arms and kisses her passionately) All the more reason why we are destined to be together, Theresa. I love you so much. You complete me, and now I know we'll be together forever.....

(Meanwhile, back in Harmony..)

(Gwen has answered the door to the postman)

Gwen: Yes?

Postman: I have a delivery for Gwen Winthrop.

Gwen: Yes, that's me, I'll sign.

(She proceeds to the Kitchen)

Gwen: A lawyer's office? What is going on?

(Opens the envelope and sees the divorce papers)

Gwen: I knew it! That jerk is leaving me for the little tacosita. How dare he! My god, why did I even bother with a man like him! I deserve so much better! Fox...now THERE'S a real man for me!

(Phone Rings)

Gwen: Hello?

Fox: Hi.

Gwen: Wow I was just thinking about you.

Fox: All the pretty women do, it's their nature to think of a stud like me.

Gwen: Ok, back to reality please!

Fox: Sorry, sorry, what's up?

Gwen: You are not going to believe this, that bastard Ethan is divorcing me!

Fox: Oh come on, Gwen, you and I both knew this would happen since Theresa and Ethan ran away together. Theresa just called me a few minutes ago telling me its over. Face it, Gwen, we're never going to get them back.

Gwen: You know, about that...

Fox: What, what's going on in your mind?

Gwen: Well, I realized how much Ethan and I truly had nothing in common. It's always been a setup by our parents to be together...what if...well what if you and I got together?

Fox: Are you kidding me?

Gwen: No, of course not. I'm being serious.

Fox: Hmm...date you....well, you are pretty hot...

Gwen: Thanks, I think you're damn fine too.

Fox: Well, we can always give it a go...I'm game if you are

Gwen: Checkmate!

(Back at the Hotel, Little Ethan is asleep as his parents watch over him)

Theresa: I feel like pinching myself, this all seems to good to be true.

Ethan: Well, my love, it is very true. We are together forever, we have this beautiful boy, and another baby on the way. Gwen and Fox can't do anything to us, and are in fact, together themselves. (In his best imitation voice) It's just you and me against the world, kiddo.

Theresa: (Turns around and kisses Ethan) Like I've told you, it's fate baby. Fate brought us together, fate is letting us finally be with each other for all Eternity.

Ethan: (Kisses Theresa passionately) You made me believe in fate. And now, I believe in you and me together forever. We've overcome so much, and now our future, both the one growing inside of you, and the rest of our life, will be filled with so much happiness, love and laughter. Are you ready to take that ride with me?

Theresa: For all of my life, Ethan. I'll go anywhere as long as I'm with you.

Ethan: I love you, Theresa-soon-to-be Winthrop.

Theresa: and I love you, Ethan Winthrop.

(They Kiss Passionately)
