Chapter: 3

Quote: Secrets Come Out, Chaos About

"Oh my god, Ethan, I can't believe she did that! And she had the

nerve to call me a manipulative bitch." Teresa said anger raising

because of the envelopes contents. "He's my son! I can't believe it!

Teresa, little Ethan is mine and yours." Ethan said overjoyed at this

newfound information. "Teresa, I love you." Ethan said hugging

her. They were so caught up in excitement and anger that they

didn't notice the disgruntled patient watching them and easing

towards them. "Ethan how could go back to Teresa again?! We just

had a baby for gods sake!" Ethan and Teresa turned towards Gwen.

Teresa's eyes flared with anger she lunged forward to strangle her

but was pulled back by Ethan. "First of all, I can hug Teresa if I

want seeing as how I am the father of her baby boy!" Ethan started

to say but was interrupted by Gwen. "Ethan we have a child too, if

you haven't forgotten!" Gwen said now pouting. "On the contrary,

Gwen. We didn't just have a baby because Sarah isn't mine which

means I am free to be with Teresa and our son as a family. Once I

divorce your lying bitch ass, that is." Ethan said leaving a stunned

Gwen. "No Ethan, it's not true! It's just another ploy for Teresa to

get you back!" Gwen said trying to grab onto Ethan. "Oh don't

play that helpless innocent act with me, Gwen. It's your fault

Teresa and I broke up in the first place! All because of you and

your gold digging mother's plan to send the email that showed who

my father really was. Just so you could get me back. And I thank

you for that Gwen." Ethan's last remark confused Gwen. "Why are

you thanking me?" she asked puzzled. "Because if you hadn't gone

and done that, my son wouldn't have been born." he said with a

smirk. "What are you talking about, Ethan?" Gwen asked. "The

night it came out that Teresa sent the emails I got drunk and we

slept together which is probably when she got pregnant. In the

morning, I remembered what happened and made Teresa leave.

That's when she went to Bermuda." Ethan explained. "No Ethan, it

can't be true! It can't! I can't lose you! Let's just pretend that the

baby is really yours! Ethan, come on! We can make this work!"

Gwen said becoming hysterical. "No, we can't, Gwen. I'll be

sending the divorce papers after you get out of the hospital.

Goodbye, Gwen." he said walking away with Teresa. "No, Ethan,

no!" Gwen cried as she collapsed onto the hospital floor

"Oh my god, Whit, are you serious?! My dad and your mom?!"

Fox said after Whitney explained to him what was in the envelope.

"It's true, Fox, there were photos and if we don't get to the hospital

fast, my dad will kill yours!" Whitney said with worry in her voice.

"Oh Fox! My sister hates me, Chad lied to me, and now I find out

my mother isn't who I thought she was! My father might go to jail

after he kills yours! What's happened to my life, Fox? I don't think

I will ever be happy again!" Whitney said bursting into tears. Fox

tried to comfort her as best as he could while driving. "It's ok Whit,

you've got me, don't cry." he said putting an arm around her. They

arrived at LA general several minutes later. "Come on, Fox we

have to find him!" she said running through the hospital with Fox

not far behind. "Whitney! There he is over there!" Fox said

pointing to her father a few feet away from them. "Daddy, where's

mom?" Whitney said noticing that he was alone. No Eve or dead

Julian around. "She's gone." he said sitting on a bench with his

head down. "Daddy? What do you mean she's gone?" Whitney

said not quite understanding. "When I got to hospital, she was

there in his arms. I tried to attack him, but she stopped me. Then

she hopped into his limousine and they left," he gulped "together."

T.C. said with his head in his hands. "Oh Daddy!" Whitney said

comforting her father.

~*~

Earlier at LA general "Oh my god Julian! What am I going to do?

T.C probably knows about us now. And what about the girls? Oh

Julian, my life is ruined!" Eve wailed, collapsing as she started to

cry. "Eve darling, I'm here for you I can take care of this, I

promise you." Julian said, trying to console the love of his life. "I

don't see how you can make it better, Jay." Eve said calling him by

her old pet name for him. "Just trust me, Evee, I'll take care of

you. In time Whitney and Simone will forgive you. Even if T.C.

doesn't. Plus, we should be happy now that we know where our

son is." he said again trying to comfort her. "Julian! You bastard,

get away from my wife!" Eve and Julian turned around to see a

very angry T.C. approaching them. "I'll kill you, Crane, for taking

my wife." T.C. said charging towards Julian. "T.C.! Stop it!" Eve

cried standing in front of Julian. "You shouldn't only be angry at

Julian! I'm to blame too! I'm so sorry, T.C.!" Eve said starting to

cry again. Julian pulled her into a hug. T.C tried to advance on

Julian again when two of his bodyguard's blocked his way while

another ushered Julian and a crying Eve into a limo. "I'm sorry,

T.C." Eve said again as she slipped into the limo. The limo drove

off leaving T.C. standing there in shock. "Julian, where are we

going?" Eve asked when they drove up to LAX. "We're going to

find our son, Evee. The one we thought was lost so many years

ago."

~*~ HARMONY GENERAL

"Let me see it! Give it to me!" Luis said as he snatched the

envelope from the messenger. No one noticed the man in black

disappear from the room as they were all focused on the envelope

in Luis's hand. Luis opened the envelope. As Luis examined the

contents, his face went from sadness to joy to anger. "Luis, what's

wrong? What does it say about our baby?" Sheridan asked, her

worry lines deepening. Luis stood there not moving or speaking so

Sheridan grabbed the files from him and her reaction was the same

as Luis'. But she didn't just stand there. She advanced on a

frightened Beth. "You little bitch! Give me my baby!" she yelled

snatching her baby from Beth's arms. "What did I tell you Bethie?

It's all over. You're going to lose everything. You're going to jail,

you wicked girl." Mrs.Wallace whispered into Beth's ear. "What is

in the envelope? What's going on?" Antonio asked confused.

"Beth was the one that kidnapped me and she stole my baby! She

was never pregnant!" Sheridan yelled out, shocking everyone in

the hospital room. "What Sheridan? It isn't true! This is my baby!

Mine and Luis' of course I was pregnant!" Beth said in an attempt

to defend herself. "Oh come on, Beth. That's a load of BS and you

know it! Everything is here in the envelope! You kept me in a pit

in your basement just so you could steal Luis away from me! It's

all over now, Beth. You're going down." she said coldly. "Beth,

I'm putting you under arrest for kidnapping and attempted murder

of Sheridan Lopez-Fitzgerald Crane and her baby." Luis said as he

cuffed Beth. "Bye-bye, Bethie. I'm sure you'll look great in

stripes." Mrs.Wallace called out to Beth as another officer dragged

her away. "Oh my sweet, sweet baby. Mommy's got you now.

That evil Beth is gone now." Sheridan said holding on tight to her

baby. Luis sat down next to her and hugged her. "Your daddy is

here too." They were so caught up in their family moment that they

didn't notice the person in the corner glaring at them.

"Kay, I trusted you as my friend and you go and drug me to get

you pregnant?!" Miguel yelled at a stunned Kay. "Miguel, what are

you talking about? I didn't drug you! It takes two to make a baby,

Miguel. Are you trying to deny Maria?" Kay asked playing

shocked. "Oh come on, Kay. Don't play dumb with me! How

could you do this to your own cousin? Get it through your head!

Miguel is mine! You will never be together with him! Especially

after all your evil plans have been revealed in this envelope."

Charity said throwing it at Kay. "No! This is lies! All lies! It isn't

true Miguel, I swear! I swear on our daughter I didn't drug you!"

Kay said with pleading eyes. "Shows how much you care for our

daughter to swear a lie on her. Check the rest of the envelopes."

Miguel said. Kay gasped when she saw the pictures. "How did..?

No. Who took these? They're fake Miguel, I swear!" Kay said.

"I've heard enough Kay. Charity and I are going to get married.

Then I'm going to file for full custody of Maria." Miguel said

turning his back on Kay. "No, Miguel! Please don't! I'm sorry!

Please don't take Maria away from me!" Kay said sobbing now.

Charity turned to Kay. "I'm sorry, Kay. Actually, I'm not sorry.

Maria will have a better life being raised by Miguel and I." with

that said, Charity placed Miguel's hand in hers and they walked

off. "This isn't happening. I've lost Miguel and my baby. This can't

be happening." Kay said over and over again, shaking back and

forth.

~*~ Somewhere in an airplane

Chad was sitting in first class sipping on champagne. He couldn't

believe this was happening. According to the letter, he would soon

meet his parents. He knew it said he wasn't supposed to open the

envelope until he arrived in Harmony, but he couldn't help it. He

opened the envelope and read the letter inside.

Letter: Dear Chad, Couldn't resist opening it early? You're

probably wondering how I know you've opened it early, but I'll

get to that in a second. Enclosed is your birth mothers address in

Harmony. 2345 Norris Lane Harmony, Maine Also enclosed is a

picture. Her name is Maya Jones. Your probably wondering about

your father. His information is not included in this package.

Though he is in Harmony also, and is married. Your mother will

tell you who he is and you can decide if you want to meet him

since he ran out on your mother when she was pregnant, I'm sure

you'll want to confront him. When you arrive in Harmony, a car

will be waiting for you there. Oh and another thing if you choose

to see your father you'll have to stay away from a certain Whitney

Russell if you want your mother unharmed and I can find out if

you cause Whitney any grief. Sincerely, I'll never tell .Chad

couldn't believe what he had just read. He had so many questions

with no idea of how to find answers. His dream was finally coming

true but he wouldn't be able to see Whitney again. Even though

she made it clear she didn't want to see him ever again, he was

going to try to get her back. Now that would be impossible if he

went to see his mother and learn the identity of his father. He had a

very hard choice to make. "My parents identity, or the love of my

life?" he said to himself crushing the envelope in his hand.
