(At the Airport)
Theresa: I'm almost afraid to go back home to Harmony, Ethan.
Ethan: Theresa, listen to me. I love you. As soon as the divorce is final from Gwen, I'm going to marry you...the woman I should have married all this time.
Theresa: Is this really what you want Ethan, to be with me?
Ethan: Absolutely, my love. I love you heart, mind, body and soul. You, Little Ethan, and the baby you're carrying mean everything to me. I want to be with you and only you.
(They kiss passionately)
(Once in Harmony, Theresa and Ethan first stop at the Bennett Household....sidenote: Ivy and Sam are married)
Ivy: Oh, darling, it's so good to have you home! Wait..what is SHE still doing with you?
Ethan: Mother, don't even start. I realized that night at the club that I love Theresa with everything I am. We are going to find out if Little Ethan is my son or not, and if he is, I'll be 10 times the happiest man ever, and not only that, but Theresa and I are going to be married as soon as possible before our baby is born.
Ivy: Our baby—what are you talking about?
Theresa: We think I'm a week pregnant, if not a little more, Mrs. Bennett.
Ivy: (Stops for a moment) What about Gwen, Ethan? You're married to her..
Ethan: Actually, Mother, I'm not anymore. I filed for divorce from Gwen after I left Harmony, and according to my secretary at the law firm, the divorce has been finalized.
Ivy: Wow. Ethan, may I have a moment with you?
(They go to a separate room)
Ivy: Are you sure you want to be with Theresa, I mean she has lied to you so many times?
Ethan: Mother, it's fate. I'm supposed to be with Theresa. I love her with my whole being, it's hard to explain...
Ivy: What about Gwen, Ethan? You married her...
Ethan: Yes, Mother, I did, but I was never happy with her. I loved her yes, but not in the way she deserved to be loved. The love I have for Theresa exceeds my feelings for anyone else...surely, you must know how that feels?
Ivy: (Smiles) Yes, son, I know exactly how you feel. I felt and still feel the same way about your father.
Ethan: Then, please Mother, forgive Theresa, let me be happy with her and our son.
Ivy: Your son?
Ethan: We think it's possible that Little Ethan is really mine, and not Julian's.
Ivy: Boy, this day is just full of surprises. How do you feel about that?
Ethan: I love that little boy as if he were my own. If the DNA test shows that he IS my son, I'll be the happiest man alive.
Ivy: (Smiles) Well, seeing how happy you are, I will do this one thing for you and forgive Theresa, and accept her as my daughter-in-law.
(Back in the Kitchen—Theresa is pacing back and forth)
Theresa: (To Herself) God, please, I know I haven't been the greatest person the last few years, but I'm begging you, please let Ethan and I have that chance we deserve. I love him so much, I love our children so much. I couldn't stand it if I lost him.
(Theresa feels a pair of arms wrap around her)
Ethan: Well, it's a good thing that you will never loose me.
Theresa: (Turns around in Ethan's arms) How did it go with your mother?
Ethan: See for yourself...(He turns around and Ivy is standing behind Ethan with a smile on her face)
Ivy: Now, Theresa, I know we've had our good and bad moments. But I also know how much Ethan loves you. And if you can find it in your heart to forgive me, I would love to welcome you back into the family.
(The two women hug)
Ivy: (whispers in Theresa's ear) Make him happy, Theresa. Never loose sight of your love for each other.
Theresa: I promise, Mrs. Bennett, I will love Ethan and make him the happiest man ever.
Ivy: Please, call me Ivy or Mother, since you are afterall, a part of the family now.
(They all smile)
