Returning Home
"Ladies and Gentlemen, please wait until the captain has turned off the fasten seat belt sign before removing your luggage from the overhead bins. Welcome to Harmony."
"Home. I'm back home." Home is where the heart is. "Well, I may be physically home, but apparently, my home is back in LA with Ethan. No, Theresa, you have to stop doing this to yourself. "Time to move on."
Once Theresa gathers her belongings, she goes out of the airline gate, and is greeted by Pilar and Little Ethan.
"Oh, my little boy!" Theresa exclaims as she takes her son into her arms.
"Mi hija, how are you?" Pilar asks as the two women hug.
"I'm hurting, mama. There's a lot we need to discuss."
"Come on, let's go home, Teresita."
Once at Pilar's house, Theresa and Pilar sit in the kitchen drinking tea.
"Mama, you may not what I have to say, but I saw Ethan out in LA."
"Theresa, what did you do?" Pilar asks of her daughter.
"Mama, I swear I did not know that Ethan was out in LA! But after all was said and done, we talked...and I learned more than I probably should have, mama."
"Mija, what about Gwen? Didn't she see you?"
"No mama, Gwen was in the hospital for the baby. Ethan was the only one at the Crane home when I arrived. We had a long talk. I learned so many things, mama, that I don't know what to think or feel anymore."
"Mija, what did you and Ethan talk about?"
"Fate. I asked him who he would have picked if Gwen wasn't pregnant."
"Oh, Theresa, you didn't!"
"I had to know, mama. I had to know if fate was playing a cruel trick on me or something like that. And I learned it was. Ethan said that he would have picked me if Gwen did not announce she was pregnant. Ethan said that he still loves me, that he wants me to move on with my life. How do you think that makes me feel knowing that he loves me and wants me, and yet I can't be with the man that owns my heart because he is married to someone else now out of obligation?"
"I understand mi hija. When your father left, it devastated me. I couldn't go on. But, I had my children. I had to go on for their sakes. Hija, you have to do the same. You have to think of Little Ethan. You have to go on for him."
"It's so hard, mama. I've loved Ethan for the longest time. I mean, I was with Fox at one point, and he's a great guy, but he's just a friend. Ethan meant...means...so much more to me..it's hard to explain."
Pilar takes Theresa's hand into her own, "you don't have to explain, mi hija. I know how you're feeling. Just remember that things will get better. I promise you."
"I hope you're right, mama." Theresa gives her mother a kiss on the cheek, and then goes to her room.
(In LA)
Ethan returns from his walk, knowing what he has to do.
"Why is it so quiet in here?" "Theresa?" Ethan calls out her name, but doesn't hear a response.
He searches room by room, and doesn't find her.
"Oh God.."
Coming Up
Ethan realizes Theresa is gone
Someone comes back home to fight for love
Please RR
