Chapter 17: evil plans in the works
Ethan walks back out to the waiting room. Everyone stops what he or she was doing and look at him. Sam and Hank have shown up they are talking to Luis. Pilar walks over to Ethan and gives him a hug. Gwen stops dead in her tracks when she sees that.
Ethan: She looks good but then I think I'm prejudiced to what she looks like.
Pilar: Are you all right?
Ethan: Yeah I'm fine. Hey Sam Hank any news on the shooter?
Nurse Victoria: Mrs. Lopez-Fitzgerald, you can go and see your daughter right now if you want.
Pilar: Thank you I will.
Pilar goes off with the nurse to see Teresa. Everyone watches her go with a heavy heart.
Sam: We've had a number of leads, which we're following every single one, but nothing concrete yet. I'm sorry.
Ethan: I know you are doing your best Sam. That's all we could ever ask.
Sam: Hey we are going to find this guy who did this to Teresa. I guarantee that he will pay. No one hurts a member of my family and gets away with it.
Jessica: Come and sit down Ethan, we brought food from the B&B. You look like you could use a good meal.
Ethan: Thanks Jessica but I already ate at Pilar's. There is something that I want to ask you, Kay, and Charity ok.
Jessica, Kay and Charity gather around. Gwen is close by.
Ethan: I made Teresa a promise that I would try to make all her wishes come true. One of her wishes was that I would try to get to know my other family better. So I was wondering Kay, Jessica and Charity if you would please be a part of my wedding? Hank I know you are Luis's best man and Sam I know that you are going to be walking Sheridan down the aisle. Grace would you please be apart of the ceremony too?
Gwen to herself: Oh God no! Well I'll make you a promise Ethan. You won't be marrying that TRAMP in four weeks. Next year at this time I will be Mrs. Ethan Crane.
Jessica: I can't speak for the rest of them but I would love to be apart of it. Thank you Ethan.
Kay: sure I guess.
Charity: I would be honored Ethan.
Grace: Thank you Ethan.
Ethan: Great! Well we are family even if I didn't want to admit it the first time.
Jessica: And family sticks together. Hey you know what that means?
Ethan: What?
Jessica: Well when Ethan and Teresa get married that means she will be my sister-in-law and since Miguel is Teresa's brother that makes him an un- official member of this family.
Miguel: Hey I thought I was already an un-official member of the Bennett's.
Jessica: You are but this makes it a little more official.
Ethan: You know what is scary I understood that.
Everyone laughs.
Sam walks over to Ethan. He holds out his hand.
Sam: Thank you Ethan for that.
Ethan: I know I said I was doing it for Teresa but also for myself. Teresa respected you and she wanted me to get to know all of you. So can you forgive me for what I have done in the past so we can start fresh?
Grace: I think we can arrange that. Can't we guys?
Jessica: Yeah. It's going to be so cool having another big brother around.
Charity: It's going to be nice to get to know you Ethan.
Kay: I guess it will be.
Ethan: And it will be nice to get to know all of you too.
Everyone goes and gives Ethan a hug.
Gwen goes off and calls her mother.
Rebecca: Hello!
Gwen: Finally I got a hold of you. Why was your phone off?
Rebecca: I had to turn it off on Alistair's orders. He wanted to talk to Julian and me. You don't want to know so don't even ask ok. So how is the Spanish tart doing? My hospital spies aren't telling me anything. The only thing they could tell me is that she made it through the night.
Gwen: I think I know why your spies aren't getting any information. It seems that the head nurse of ICU is not intimidated by anyone.
Rebecca: Well didn't you tell her whom you were and who is going to be your stepfather?
Gwen: Yeah I told her and she still refused to give me the information. She said that if I wasn't on the list of people that Teresa's mother gave them. Then I wasn't to get any information about Teresa.
Rebecca: Well I'll see that she is taken care of immediately. No one treats my daughter that way.
Gwen: Mother that doesn't bother me. You know what bothers me? It's seeing Ethan with them. After he went to see Teresa he came out and went straight into Pilar's arms. And then do you what he did? He went over to the Bennett's and started talking about having Jessica, Kay and Charity in the wedding; all because of some promise that he made to Teresa on getting to know them. He wants to get to know them mother.
Rebecca: Oh that must be so hard sweetie.
Gwen: Mother it's killing me to see Ethan with them. I want to expose Teresa right now.
Rebecca: Patience my darling; you need patience.
Gwen: I'm running out of it mother.
Rebecca: How about coming over here for lunch. Julian is out taking care of some business and he won't be back for a couple of hours. We can talk about our future plans with the men we want and will have.
Gwen: That sounds like a plan.
Rebecca: Excellent. I'll expect you here in about half an hour?
Gwen: Sounds perfect to me. Bye mother.
Rebecca and Gwen each blow kisses to each other. Gwen heads off to the mansion.
A/N: Thanks to all that reviewed the last chapter I will update every Thursday from now on ciao
