Making Plans
Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald was shocked, to say the least. While lying in her hospital bed, she was hit with the news that she could live at the Crane mansion, and be reunited with her son, due to the fact that she was pregnant with Gwen and Ethan's baby...or at least what they thought to be their child.
"Are you serious? You're letting me see my son?" Theresa asks Gwen, her archrival for so long.
"Yes, Theresa, we're serious. We want you to come to the mansion, so that you can be able to see Little Ethan." Ethan says as he puts his arm around Gwen's waist.
"Ethan's right, Theresa. I want the baby you're carrying so badly, I ache for it. If it means letting you spend the rest of your pregnancy with your son, just so you can deliver my child healthy, then that's a risk I'm willing to take. So do we have a deal, Theresa? Will you come to the mansion?"
"Yes, yes of course! Thank you. Thank you both for letting me see my son again."
"Don't thank me yet, Theresa. You know I don't trust you, I'm doing this solely for the sake of the child you're carrying. Remember that."
After Gwen and Ethan leave, Theresa is left alone. She places her hands on her burgeoning belly. "Oh, little baby. What am I putting you through? I can't give you up. I know the truth. You're mine and Ethan's baby. Ethan. The one man I thought I was over...what a laugh that is. I still love him..What am I going to do?"
"I can't let them have both my children. I have to find some way to get my kids, and get away from Harmony."
"I know what I have to do. I have to deliver this baby, keep it, and get my son back. If I am at the Crane mansion, maybe I can manage to get away from the house at night with little Ethan. I could go to Castleton, and live my life with my children."
As Theresa plots her way to keeping her children, Gwen thinks to herself as she drives home. "Dear God, please don't let Theresa do anything serious to my baby. That child is the only thing I have left to salvage my marriage to Ethan. I know he loves me, but still...I know how much he would rather be with that bitch. Please, God, let me still keep my husband and my baby."
Silently watching his wife next to him, Ethan thinks to himself. "Dear God, this baby means so much to Gwen. It's the only baby we can have together....but why do I wish this baby was mine and Theresa's? No, Ethan, stop that! You are married to Gwen, you shouldn't be thinking of Theresa!" "Then, why am I still thinking of her? God, will I ever get her out of my head...or my heart?"
