Chapter 5—Reflections
Once Ethan gets to Theresa's house, he is immediately greeted by her as she comes running outside, and into his arms.
"Boy, this is a welcome I could get used to!" Ethan jokes as he hugs Theresa close to him.
Theresa pulls away from Ethan a little, and looks up into his eyes. "I figured you'd need one after your talk with your mother."
Ethan sighs, and then pulls Theresa close. "Come on, let's take a walk, and I'll tell you everything."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, baby, you need to know. I have to be totally honest with you."
"Okay, baby, let's go."
While they're walking, Ethan begins to tell Theresa everything he learned from Ivy. "She claims she did all this out of love for me, and in some ways, I believe her. In other ways though, it hurts that she almost felt that the higher class, if you will, was better for me, than the class that my father belongs to."
"I think that Ivy was just very young, and very much influenced by her father, Ethan. She felt that this was the best thing for you. Any mother would want the best for their child."
"You know, you're going to make an amazing mother to our children one day?" Ethan asks as he kisses the side of Theresa's forehead.
She smiles as she thinks of their future, "well, thank you. I can't wait till the day we have babies."
"Me either, my love. After finding out all this, it's made me realize how important the word 'family' truly is. I mean, family is the tie that bonds people. Without it, you have nothing."
"You're right. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have mama, Luis, Miguel, or Paloma. They mean the world to me. Just as much as you do."
As the couple is walking along, they realize suddenly that they are near the Bennett household.
"Do you think...I mean...do you think that Sam will accept me as his son?" Ethan asks slowly, as he watches his father walk through his house from the window.
Theresa sighs as she responds, "well, Ethan, I think that with a little work and patience, you and Chief Bennett can begin a great relationship."
"You're right, you know."
"I usually am." Theresa jokes as she feels Ethan tickle her.
"Oh, Theresa, what am I going to do with you?"
"Just love me."
"Well, that's a given, since I love you more than life itself."
"And I love you, Ethan. Forever."
Ethan wraps his arms around Theresa, and shares a very romantic kiss.
"Will you help me with something?" Ethan asks after they get back to Theresa's house.
"Anything, baby, just name it."
"Help me...find out the truth? Help me to put this behind me, and find out who told the tabloid the news?" Ethan asks.
"Absolutely. I will help you in any way I can, Ethan. You can count on me."
"I love you, Theresa."
"And I love you, Ethan."
