Later that night Teresa rocked little Ethan in her arms.
"Oh, Little Ethan, what am I going to do?" She sighed. "I have feelings for them both. Can you believe this? How did I ever get myself into this? I have two different men that I could see myself spending the rest of my life with. There's Ethan, your godfather. A very trustworthy, honarable, family oriented man, who I have loved all my life. I know what I have with him and that he wants to be with me. Then again, he's changed so much in these last few months. He scares me sometimes. Maybe it's just stress. He's gone through a lot recently and now he's trying to rebuild the career that was ruined after he learned he wasn't a Crane. He's got a lot on him."
She thought about Ethan for a moment and how they had shared so much together. He was her first love and deep down Teresa believed that she was his. She had given him everything. Her heart, her soul, and had even given herself to him. Something she had never given anyone else. She had always thought Ethan would be her first and her last. Now she wasn't so sure. She knew deep down that things would have to change if she planned on spending the rest of her life with Ethan. He couldn't control her. No matter how much she thought she loved him. She wouldn't give up the friendship she had with Fox.
"Then there's your brother, Fox. You met him for the first time today. I think he took a liking to you and if I'm not mistaken you seemed to really get a kick out of him, too." Little Ethan looked up at his mother and grinned. "I'll take it you agree." She giggled. "Fox is nothing like anyone I've ever met before and until today I would've never thought that we had anything other than a friendship. I'm not going to say that I didn't ever find him attractive or that on some level I was never physically attracted to him. I mean, look at him, he's gorgeous, but do I risk a friendship just to have nothing with him? Or do I risk a friendship to find true love? What do you think? Ethan." She paused for a moment. "Or Fox."
Little Ethan clapped his hands together at the mention of Fox's name. "Fox, huh?" She smiled. "I must be desperate to take advise from by baby son. You probably think your mommy's crazy, dont' you?" Ethan looked up at her and clapped his hands and laughed out loud. "You, Little Ethan, are not the only one."
"One thing is for sure, Little Ethan, I have a lot of thinking to do."

A beautiful boxum, long-legged blonde took her first-class seat on the plane. She looked out the window a short time later as the plane started to ascend. "Harmony, here I come."
She pulled her pocketbook out of the overhead storage unit and pulled out a photograph. She ran a finger over the smiling face of a handsome, young man. "We'll be back together soon, my love. You have been away from me for far too long." She pulled out a second photograph of a beautiful young woman with long dark hair and big doe eyes. Fiery burnt in her eyes. She hated this woman. She owned the heart of the only man she would ever love and she had to get her out of the way. She ripped the picture up. "I don't need a picture to find you. Your image is burned inside my head. He had pictures of you and him everywhere. You were all he ever talked about. You were always in the way!"
One thing was sure. She would have to get to Harmony and find Fox fast. He had rushed back to Harmony for one reason, and one reason only. He wanted Teresa. He could tell by the letters that she had written since her reunion with Ethan that things weren't as they seemed. Teresa had changed. She wasn't the happy-go-lucky person he had always known. She seemed sad and depressed and it killed Fox. He knew it was the sign he had always wanted. The opportunity to be with Teresa. He had left her behind to do it, and she wasn't going to let him get off so easily. He had broken her heart and she was now going to break his. Teresa was in the way now, but she wouldn't be for much longer. She would make sure of that.
