Quick note: about a month has passed since Gwen fell into her coma and hank has been taking care of Sarah and * * = thoughts

Chapter: ten

Setting: LA General

"Excuse me nurse I got a call saying that Gwen Winthrop is awake "

Hank said when he walked up to the nurses station. "yes I was the one

you spoke to, we couldn't get in contact with her husband and another

nurse told me that you had left a number "the nurse replied "oh, so how

long has she been awake what is her condition" hank asked "I'm sorry

but I don't have that information, all I know is that the doctor is

examining her, when she's done I'm sure the doctor will want to talk to

you about Mrs. Winthrop's condition" the nurse explained hank nodded

and went over to the waiting room where he set down Sarah's carrier

and then took a seat for himself . The past month had been tough with

him having to take care of Sarah. She would wake up crying all hours of

the night and Hank barely got any sleep. He remembered when he had

to take care of his younger sister Cassandra (who Kay is named after)

when she was a baby she cried as much as Sarah had but he grew used to

it and came to admire the baby he thought was his great

Niece (remember hank doesn't know that Ethan isn't the father of

Sarah and Ethan is ignoring him) a few minutes later a doctor

approached him "hello I'm Dr. Helena Bryce, are you Hank Bennett "

the doctor said "yes I am you must be the doctor who's examining

Gwen "hank replied "yes I am. I'm guessing you want to know how

she's doing, are you her boyfriend" Dr. Helena asked "yes I would like

to know how she's doing and no I'm just a friend "hank said "ok "she

said trying not to pry further "well as you know Gwen has awakened

from her coma and things physically look pretty good she has strong

vitals and is responding but it seems she has amnesia "the doctor said "

oh how bad is it "hank asked concerned but not sure why he didn't

even know why he didn't give Sarah to social services or try further to

contact Ethan or Rebecca "well I'm not sure she seems to only

remember her name and that she has a baby when the test results come

back we'll now for sure how much damage there is and if it will be

temporary or permanent "Helena said "thank you doctor , by the way

have you ever been to harmony because you look familiar maybe you

know a doctor there by the name of Eve Russell "hank said "no I

don't think ive ever been to harmony ive lived in Kansas all my life

until recently when I moved here to LA" she replied "oh ok I guess I

must have mistaken you for someone else , so can I see Gwen now is she

up for visitors" hank asked "yeah go right ahead I'll check in later

when the test results come in "she said walking away she too had her

secrets like the residents in harmony but that is a story for another time

.(I'm sorry Its corny but I just had to include that line from the book

never ending story ) so Hank grabbed Sarah's carrier and entered

Gwen's hospital room. Gwen looked his way when he opened the door

she had the TV on with the volume all the way down and a bouquet of

flowers in her hand. "Hi how are you feeling "Hank said walking over

to her bed "I'm fine other then the fact that I have a huge headache and

remember nothing but my name and that I have a baby yeah I'm just

feeling dandy." Gwen said sarcastically Hank gave a weak smile then sat

down placing the baby carrier on his lap. Gwen then noticed the baby"

that baby is it mine "she asked. Hank nodded yes "then me and you

are..." Gwen started, "oh no I'm not the father, you and I aren't even

involved "he said quickly "oh "Gwen said, *too bad he's pretty cute I

wonder why he's here and how I know him * she thought. "So if we're

not involved and that baby "Hank cut her off "her names Sarah" he said

"ok if Sarah isn't yours then what exactly is our relation to each other ,

where exactly is Sarah's father and who sent me all these flowers and

gifts "Gwen asked " well were sort of friends or rather in laws "he

started to explain "so were we having some kind of affair "Gwen said

still not believing that she and this blond weren't involved "no we

weren't having an affair in fact I barely knew you "hank said "do you

want to hold Sarah "hank said changing the subject "not yet you

haven't answered all my questions" Gwen said "well I brought you all

the flowers and gifts I would bring Sarah to see you everyday while

you were comatose I thought you would want to wake up to see that

somebody actually cared when you awoke "Hank explained * aww he's

sweet and handsome * "that's really sweet of you uh....." she said not

remembering his name "Hank, Hank Bennett "Hank answered for her

"and I'm Gwenneth or Gwendolynn Hotchkiss right " she questioned

" its Gwendolynn Winthrop now ,Hotchkiss is your maiden name ' hank

replied "oh so I'm married , exactly how long have I been married and

where is my husband now "Gwen asked but before hank could reply a

nurse came in "excuse me sorry for interrupting but the doctor needs

another round of tests then you'll need to rest so you'll have to leave sir

"the nurse explained "alright I'll go home, I got to check up on some

things I'll be back later "he said getting up and facing Gwen . She

nodded and as he left called out to him "hank?" he turned around "yeah"

he said "thanks for the flowers and for taking care of Sarah" she said he

nodded and walked out. After he walked out of the hospital he pulled out

his phone and dialed a long distance number.

Setting: Lopez- Fitzgerald party outside

"I know but I couldn't stay away not after the way we ended things "he

said coming closer"what are you even doing here? "Whitney said

walking away "I came to find my parents and...." He started "oh don't

pull that on me we're over we've been over since you lied to me" she

said brushing past him. He grabbed her arm and pulled her back

"Whitney, wait at least give me a minute for you to hear me out "he said

when she faced him "alright Chad you've got one minute "she said

pulling her arm out of his grasp "Whitney look I know I was wrong but

I love you I've divorced latoya and now we can still get married like we

planned "he said leaning in to kiss her. She pulled back and slapped him

"well its too late you shouldn't have lied to me Chad , to think I trusted

you after my mom and dad urged me to stay away from you I didn't

listen I got myself shot and Theresa , fox and Ethan almost got killed

because of your sordid little past and you still expect to marry me after

all you put me through" Whitney said starting to get real heated "

Whitney I never meant for you to find out I thought our marriage was

over I swear it "he pleaded " oh you never meant for me to find out,

yeah that makes it much better" she said sarcastically "Whitney look

there's something I have to tell....." but she cut him off "no Chad you

look .what did you expect coming back here that I would take you

back and forget about everything well ive moved on and so should you

"Whitney said about ready to bust a fuse "what? Who?" Chad said

puzzled "who you ask its.... Fox ive fallen in love with fox "she lied

but coincidentally fox happened to be looking for her and heard the

screaming "what did you say" fox asked Whitney looked at the

shocked Chad and grabbed fox and kissed him, she knew it was wrong

to use fox but she wanted Chad to know she was serious about being

over him . Chad snapped out of his state of shock and pulled Whitney

from fox "how could you do that man I asked you to take care of

Whitney and you go and confuse her about what love is "Chad said

glaring at the very shocked and confused fox who was still in awe of the

spontaneous kiss led by Whitney "well you know what it doesn't matter

now I hoped it wouldn't have to come to this "he said pulling something

out of his pocket he pulled out a piece of paper and handed it to Whitney

she gasped as she read what was on the paper.

Setting: Lopez- Fitzgerald residence

After Sheridan and Paloma left Theresa's room they went back to the

party. Sheridan gave CJ to his grandmother and went to find Luis. By

then everyone had entered back into the house to finish opening the

presents. Theresa had to practically force little Ethan away from his new

toy. Which again made Ethan fill up with jealousy. They opened the

remnants of the presents. The guest unanimously agreed that fox's

presents to little Ethan and Theresa had been the best. The party settled

down with chatter amongst the guest on what had been happening with

things being revealed left to right. the time finally came for Ethan and

Theresa to explain why Ethan was back in harmony "ah hem" Theresa

said getting the guest attention . All chattering stopped and everyone

faced Theresa and Ethan "well first I'd like to thank you all for coming

to my party and being here for me and my son" Theresa began "and

second I'm sure you are all wondering why Ethan is here well just like

many of you here a received some information in an envelope with very

good news" Theresa said beaming "I learned that my sons father isn't

Julian crane like we all thought but Ethan Winthrop" everyone in the

room gasped they couldn't believe it and when they learned of Gwen's

deception they gasped again "Theresa are you sure mija where did you

get this information from" pillar said walking in right after Theresa

announced her sons parentage . Theresa explained to her mother. Who

was shocked and told Theresa about her envelope. "There's one more

thing, "Ethan said "what? What are you talking about Ethan" Theresa

asked puzzled because there was nothing else to announce to her family

and friends or so she thought" actually there's something I have to ask

you "Ethan said getting down on knee before Theresa "Ethan what are

you doing "Theresa said shocked she didn't expect him to propose so

soon "Theresa we fell in love long ago and different force we against us

but you believed in our love and never gave up on us" Ethan said all

eyes shifted from him to Theresa who held a neutral expression "and I

don't want to make the mistake of losing you again , I guess what I'm

saying is will you marry me" he said pulling out a black box opening it

to expose a beautiful four carat diamond engagement ring. They all

stood and waited for Theresa's answer she stood there not saying a word

with a neutral look on her face

asked "well they're some conditions to be met before you actually meet
