Reflections Part 2

At the Hotel

"Why did I do this to myself? All I wanted was my son back...and now I want the one man that I ever loved back...God, please help me." Theresa says as she watches her son sleep.

Not being able to sleep, Theresa looks out the window of the hotel room she is staying in.

"God, please tell me what to do. I know I did a lot of wrong things. But, I love my son and this baby. At the same time, I find myself loving Ethan too."

"I did what I had to do for my children. Any mother would go to the lengths I did to save my babies. God, I hope that I did the right thing." Theresa, of course you did. Yeah, then why do I feel like my whole world is about to crash?

Picking up her cell phone, she calls Fox.

"Hi, it's me."

"Hold on a second." "Okay, sorry, had to move out of earshot. Are you okay?"

"No. Did I do the right thing, Fox?"

"Do you think you did, Theresa?"

"I had to save my children. I couldn't let Ethan and Gwen raise them."

"You just answered your own question then, Theresa. I won't tell them what you've done. I promise."

"Thanks, Fox."

She hangs up on her cell, and then stares at her son sleeping. "If you could only know how much I love you, little Ethan. You and this baby are my life."

Looking down, Theresa runs her hand over her bulging stomach. "My baby. You are the one thing left I have of my love for Ethan. How can I still love him? He's hurt me so much, lately. I guess that saying is true, True love never dies..."

Flashback

"You know what, Theresa?"

"What Ethan?"

"I want to promise you something."

"Okay."

Taking her hands in his own, he looks deeply into her eyes, "I promise that I will always be here for you, and that I will always love you. You are the keeper of my heart, my soul mate, and my one true love. I love you so much, Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald."

"And I love you, Ethan Winthrop."

Present

"Do you still love me, Ethan? I know you're married to Gwen, but what if things were different? God, I wish I knew the answers!"

"How can I still love you after everything? Life isn't fair." Falling asleep with her son cuddled in her arms, Theresa dreams of her future, and that of her children.
