Chapter 5—Righting a Wrong
(Setting: Hospital)
"Dear God, Please let Theresa be ok. I don't know what I would do without her!" Ethan says to himself as he waits for news on Theresa.
While in the waiting room, Dr. Russell appears to talk to Ethan.
"Well, she and the baby are doing fine. Luckily, there wasn't any permanent damage to either Theresa or the baby. She should be waking up soon, if you want to go see her?"
"Yes, Eve, I do."
After phoning Theresa's family to tell them the latest news, Ethan proceeds to Theresa's hospital room.
As he sits by her bed, he holds onto her hand and thinks of a way to get Theresa to wake up.
"I got it!"
After a quick phone call to the mansion, Ethan sits back next to Theresa.
"Oh, my love, I am so sorry for what happened. I promise to you that I will not let Gwen win. You, me, Little Ethan and our baby mean the world to me." As Ethan talks to Theresa, a knock comes to the door.
"Thank you, Phyllis, for bringing Little Ethan here."
"Not a problem, Mr. Winthrop. Is Theresa going to be okay?"
"Well, with any luck, my news to her will bring her spirits up in no time!"
"Good luck."
Ethan sits little Ethan on the bed next to his mother. "Come on, Theresa, I have a surprise for you, but you have to wake up!"
"MM" Theresa makes a noise as she slowly opens her eyes.
"Little Ethan?"
"Mommy!"
Theresa gains more control of her eyelids, and slowly looks around the room, and comes to stare at Ethan.
"Where am I?"
"The hospital, baby, Gwen tried to strangle you. I got there just in time."
"Oh, God, the baby?" Theresa's hand immediately goes to her stomach.
"Our baby is fine, my love, and now I have something that will make you feel even better."
"What's that?"
"Regaining custody of our son."
Theresa slowly looks from Little Ethan to the love of her life, confused. "Our son? What are you talking about?"
"Well, I've been doing a lot of thinking for the longest time on how Julian could possibly be this little guy's father. When Phyllis brought him here to the hospital, I had Eve do a quick DNA test on the little guy here, and it came out that I'm his father, not Julian!"
"Oh, my God, are you sure?"
Ethan smiles as he holds Theresa's hand. "Yes, my love, I'm VERY sure that this is the family I've always wanted. You, me, Little Ethan, and our baby."
"What about the custody suit, Ethan? You and Gwen have custody of my baby."
"Not so, Theresa, once I learned the news, I called the courts and had them remove the custody hold against you. I explained to them everything. Yes, I still have custody of our son, but Gwen does not. The only other person that does is you, my love."
"I love you, Ethan."
"And I love you, Theresa. Heart and Soul, I love you."
As they share a passionate kiss, both Theresa and Ethan begin to think of the future ahead.
Coming up!
A proposal is in the works!
Plans for the Future are made...
