Quote: innocence is bliss but is bliss always innocent

Chapter: seven

Sixteen year old Paloma walked up to the door glancing around

her surroundings it looked pretty much the same since the last

time she was here before she was sent to live with her aunt Rosa

and uncle Jose. She was happy to be back in harmony. She

didn't have a problem with living in New Mexico but she

missed her mama, Miguel, Luis and Teresa (she doesn't

remember Antonio was too little) and was looking forward to

seeing her two nephews and niece who she had heard so much

about. She didn't know what to think when her mother had told

her the oldest of her brothers had returned. Paloma had been told

by Luis that he had disappeared soon after her papa did when

she was just a baby. She wasn't too anxious about meeting him

especially after she was informed about the whole situation with

Sheridan. She felt that Antonio was in denial of what was going

on and extremely naïve to not have noticed what was going on.

She felt that she had no real respect for Antonio from what her

other siblings especially Luis told her about his personality. So

she wasn't too pleased when pillar informed her that Antonio

would be picking her up from the airport. And she had a right to

be unpleasant too after she had been to baggage claim she

waited 3 hours before Antonio finally showed up to pick her up,

which left her quite annoyed then on the ride home he had the

car radio on an old country western station and when she asked

if she could change the channel he said no and then started to

sing along (really out of tune) to the current song then he

proceeded to ask her stupid questions about school which she

ignored." boy is he boring" she thought as he continued to sing a

horrendous version of a Garth Brooks song " and he has

horrible taste" she said to herself when she glanced at his tacky

clothes "what did you say Loma " Antonio asked hearing her

murmur "nothing , I didn't say anything" she replied he nodded

and continued in his 'singing' "in Simon's words from

American idol "that was absolutely horrendous" Paloma

thought . Antonio pulled up the car into the driveway, Paloma

rushed out of the car before he could say anything to her, plus

she wanted to get away from her big brothers singing. Her mind

came back to present time and she was back by the door outside

of the house. She walked up and her mother opened the door

engulfing her with a hug "oh my little Paloma my baby's home"

pillar said as she embraced her youngest daughter "hello to you

too mama, but could you let go your kind of squeezing me

"Paloma said as she gasped for air "oh I'm sorry mija its just

that ive missed you so much "pillar said releasing Paloma from

their hug " ive missed you too mama, is Miguel or Luis here

"Paloma said asking for her funnier non-boring brothers " no

they're not Luis is at the hospital with Sheridan and Miguel is

with his girlfriend charity they should be home later for little

Ethan's birthday party" pillar said while Antonio flinched at

the mention of Sheridan and Luis . Paloma noticed the flinch

but pillar didn't. Paloma gave Antonio a look than entered the

house. Once she walked in a toddler approached her "hi " he

said to Paloma "hi little guy what's your name " she asked him

"my name iz lila etwan" he said giving her a smile "hi little

Ethan I'm your auntie Loma" she said picking up the child and

hugging him " oh he is so adorable mama" Paloma said to pillar.

Pillar nodded in agreement and motioned for Paloma to follow

her in the living room where she had set some sandwiches for

Paloma to eat when she arrived "oh mama this is delicious, man

I missed your cooking" she said biting into a sandwich. Pillar

just smiled then handed one to little Ethan and went to get some

juice. A few minutes pasted and Antonio entered the room and

grabbed a sandwich and sat next to little Ethan who immediately

left in search of his Abuela "for some reason the kid is scared of

me " Antonio said with his mouth full after little Ethan left "I

wonder why, I would run away too after seeing you talk with

food in your mouth" Paloma almost said out loud but didn't.

After she ate she decided to take a nap until she would go with

Antonio to pick up Teresa and little Ethan's father.

******* Later at harmony airport******

"Its good to be back I cant wait to see my baby boy" Teresa said

as they descended their plane "yeah " Ethan said not as

enthusiastically. But Teresa took no notice they went and got

their bags and waited for Antonio who would be picking them

up along with Paloma who pillar said arrived a few hours before

them. They waited for about two hours until Teresa heard a

familiar voice calling her "Teresa over here" Paloma called as

she spotted Teresa across the room. Paloma ran over to Teresa

while Antonio lagged behind and gave her a big hug "oh my

gosh look at you, my little sister is growing up" Teresa said

getting a good look at her younger sibling. "I cant believe your

sixteen already last time I saw you, you were a little bit older

than little Ethan " Teresa said "oh Paloma this is Ethan, Ethan

this is my little sister Paloma "Teresa said introducing them to

each other they both said hi and then Antonio grabbed a few of

her bags and the all walked back to the car. They loaded up all

their stuff and got into the car. Paloma sat in the front seat while

Ethan and Teresa sat in the back with Antonio driving he turned

on the radio and was about to sing along when Teresa spoke "

come on Tony this is horrible can you please change the station"

Teresa said. Antonio nodded and switched the station to a hip-

hop channel "sure so you do it when she asks " Paloma muttered

and scowled under her breath. Teresa noticed Paloma's scowl

and decided to have a chat with her after little Ethan's party and

ask what was bothering her. They arrived at the house where

pillar and little Ethan stood waiting for them "mommy" little

Ethan said when he saw his mother and Ethan climb out of the

car "oh my baby my little boy I missed you so much" Teresa

said picking the toddler up and hugging him" I missed you too

mommy ,where's my surpwize " he asked curious to see what

his mother had bought him from her trip to visit his aunt

Whitney. " Your surprise is right here " she said pointing to

Ethan. This confused the toddler he wondered what his mommy

meant when she pointed to Ethan "etwan where's my surprise "

he asked thinking that was what his mother meant that Ethan

had his surprise" no sweetie Ethan is your surprise he's come

back so we can be a family "Teresa said as Ethan put an arm

around her. Little Ethan started to cry he though his mommy had

brought him a new toy he missed Ethan but this wasn't the

surprise he was expecting" little Ethan why are you crying aren't

you happy Ethan has come back to be with us " Teresa asked

confused at her sons reaction " I.. sob.. Thought.. sob ..

You.. Were bringing me a new toy" he said sniffling " Ethan

took little Ethan from Teresa and said" don't cry little guy it so

happens I have a present for a little boy named Ethan" Ethan

said springing a box wrapped in blue birthday wrapping" is that

for me etwan " little Ethan asked excitedly "it sure is "Ethan

said putting the boy down and handing him the box "mommy,

mommy look what etwan gave me, can I open it " little Ethan

asked "I see it little Ethan but you have to wait later to open

your daddy's present at the party' Teresa said "my daddy's

coming" little Ethan said frightened he had spent little time

with the man his mother called that bastard Julian Crane and he

wasn't too fond of him "not Julian sweetie , Ethan" Teresa

explained "oh " little Ethan said not fully understanding " hold

this mommy, come on etwan lets play with my trucks " little

Ethan said handing his present to his mom and pulling Ethan

inside the house . That made Teresa smile her son and his father

playing together just like it was supposed to be.

******** Russell residence*****

" Daddy your back what's wrong? Where's mom? " Simone

asked when he and Whitney walked into the house" mom left

dad for Julian Crane " Whitney replied. Simone glared at her

and said "I wasn't asking you, wait she did what? How? Why?"

Simone asked shocked " here she said handing Simone the

envelope that contained the answers to Simone's question " oh

my god " Simone said after reading the contents "your lying

these are all lies mom would never do that to daddy "Simone

said sitting down " you better believe it your mom was nothing

but a lying, lounge singing family abandoning slut "Liz said

appearing out of nowhere.

******* Unknown island ******

"Where are we ?" Eve asked, " we're on an island " Julian

answered "I can see that Julian " Eve said referring to her

surroundings of palm trees and fruit trees not to mention the

body of water and beaches. After they had landed at a small

airport a car was waiting for them they drove for about fifteen

miles then their driver dropped them off at this secluded beach.

There were no other people in sight and the driver had left as

soon as they got out of the car. Julian wanted to walk around and

see what he could find but Eve said that they should stay where

they were like the paper with the coordinates said to do. So

Julian stayed. As he was getting fed up with waiting a man

approached them " your Eve and Julian crane right " the man

asked "yeah but my names Eve rus.No Johnson" Eve said

figuring that her and T.C. Would not stay married "yeah

whatever come with me " the man said gesturing them to follow

him. Julian didn't like the tone this man was taking with Eve nor

did he like the way he had just appeared without giving a

explanation of why they were on this island " where are we

going?, what is this place ?, why are we here? "Julian asked

sounding like a little kid on a road trip that would keep asking

are we there yet over and over." please be patient Mr. crane all

will be explained when we reach our destination " the man said

as he continued to lead them across the deserted beach "where

exactly is our destination" Julian prodded Eve tapped him

playfully on the arm " be patient Julian I'm sure we will get

there soon "she said smiling at him. And just as she said that

they came upon a giant resort like hotel "we have arrived " the

man said as Eve's mouth dropped open at the view in front of her .

******** Pay phone out side La general******

"Sam, what am I supposed to do ive tried contacting Ethan but

he wont return my calls and Rebecca has disappeared off the

face of the earth. And there's no way I can take care of this

baby but I'm all she has right now since her moms in coma

"Hank said as he told his brother about his situation " maybe I

can talk to Ethan and convince him that he shouldn't abandon

his baby" Sam offered "that would be great bro. ,look I got to go

Ari's crying" Hank said " Ari?" Sam asked confused ' it's the

nickname ive given Sarah "oh" Sam answered " another thing

you could do is bring Sarah back to harmony "Sam suggested

"yeah I could but, what if Gwen comes out of her coma she

would get scared if she found out her baby plus Ethan were gone

"Hank said "I see what you mean. Would you be ok with staying

out in La a bit longer " Sam asked "yeah sure I guess and I am

getting attached to the kid I guess I wouldn't mind a few weeks

" Hank replied " ok then I'll talk to Ethan and then I'll get back

to you " Sam said "ok bye " Hank said hanging up
