Chapter 2: going home
It was a month after Theresa and her husband had that talk about going to Harmony. She had finished up that project at work and some how convinced her company to let her, one of their top fashion experts, to transfer to a smaller division in Harmony while her husband would be handling his family's affairs.
Little Ethan had finished his year in school and was ready to go on vacation and meet both of his grandmothers, that he had heard little to nothing about and the triplets were excited to go somewhere. Theresa had made arrangements to have a friend house sit and have her mail transferred to harmony for the month or two they planned to stay at the B&B.
Theresa was very nervous about returning as was her husband , who didn't tell her the cause of his anxiety but they both knew they had to face their past and confront the people who were once in their lives.
"You ready to go?" Theresa asked her husband.
Their stuff was packed into their car the kids were seated and belted all the two adults had to do was lock the front door , get in the car and drive off.
"ready as I can be"
they got in the car and started on the long drive to harmony Maine.
Few hours later
The kids had all fallen asleep within the first hour of driving , but now little Ethan had awakened and had some questions stirring in his mind and since his little sisters were all asleep he would have no interruptions from them .
"mom?"
"yes Ethan"
"can you tell me about grandma "
"well , what do you wanna know"
"uh, what's she like ,is she nice?"
"yes your grandmother is a very sweet and caring women she'll be very happy to see you"
"how come I'm just meeting her now"
Theresa was fine with his other questions but she really didn't want to tell her son the truth about why she left he didn't even remember she knew he would find out sooner or later because as soon as Gwen and Ethan found out she was back he and his sisters could be taken away from her.
"well me and your daddy have been busy working and taking care of you and your sisters so we couldn't take a vacation to Harmony"
"oh , ok "
little Ethan then settled back in his seat where he fell asleep shortly after . Theresa however couldn't sleep because once the would arrive in harmony, which would be in about an hour , she would have to face her past and the consequences of leaving harmony those 5 years ago.
&&&&&&&&&&&&& Theresa's POV&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
" Theresa, sweetie wake up"
" Huh, what "
" We're here, we're in Harmony"
Theresa opened her eyes and saw what her husband said to be true. She saw the familiar building and sites of her hometown. The church, schools ,small businesses, houses and parks. It all looked the same but she knew all of it had probably changed .
" so where do I go from here to get to your mothers house"
" ok , take this left and it should be straight down the next street and to the right and the house should be there"
Her husband followed her direction and drove into the driveway of the Lopez- Fitzgerald house, earlier they had stopped at a gas station and looked in the phone book/directory to find out where her mother was staying. Theresa was surprised to find her mother owned a house near her high school, she figured Rebecca and Julian had stopped blackmailing people not to hire her mother and siblings.
Theresa slowly got out and went to the back passenger door and opened the child lock door so little Ethan and the triplets could get out . she closed the door and noticed that her husband didn't get out
" sweetie why aren't you getting out"
" I have to go see my mother I'll come back for you and the kids and meet your mother"
" oh, ok"
Theresa said hesitantly she kissed him on the cheek and led little Ethan and the girls toward the front door.
" Mommy?, where's daddy going " a sleepy Licia asked
" Daddy has to go somewhere he'll be back to pick us up"
"Ok"
Theresa rang the door bell and waited for someone to answer she could hear footsteps coming towards the door and which each step heard she grew more and more nervous. What would she say when she saw her mother would pillar be angry or happy to see her.
The door opened and a girl who looked to be between the ages of 16 and 18 answered the door . she took a look at Theresa and her children before speaking .
" may I help you ?"
" uh , does Pillar Lopez – Fitzgerald live here"
" yes hold on a minute"
the girl turned around and yelled "Mama there's someone at the door for you"
mama she said mama who is this girl
Theresa waited as an older women appeared at the door Theresa knew at once that it was her mother
" Theresa, is that you "
&&&&&&&&&&&&& Theresa's husbands POV&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
after dropping off Theresa and the kids he drove till he came upon a huge gate he pulled up and stooped to talk into the security box.
" state your purpose and name "
" I'm here to see my father and my name is ….."
he said his name and the gate opened he drove in then walked up to the door just when he was about to knock on the door it opened.
" father "
" son"
" well aren't you going to invite me in"
his father opened the door and walked away , he followed after him.
The walked down a hallway that led to an office . his father sat down in a chair behind a desk and motioned for his son to sit in the chair directly facing the other side .
" so, I'm assuming your mother called you "
" yes she did "
" and what did she tell you exactly"
" that their was a death in the family and that I needed to be here , I assumed it was you father but I see you are fine"
" yes I am very much alive "
there was silence between the two until a maid walked in.
" Mr. Brown is here sir"
" thank you Sallie tell him to come in"
the maid left the room and a few minutes later a Caucasian man with brown hair walked in carrying a briefcase.
" Mr. Brown I'd like you to meet my son , son…this is Joseph brown one of our lawyers "
" I'm also the main lawyer for the deceased and he wanted me to show you two his last will and testament"
the lawyer put the tape in and they all focused on the screen as a face appeared.
" Hello, if you are watching this tape then I am no longer on this earth .... I'll just cut to who gets what I thought you care little to nothing that I am gone especially you my son I wouldn't be surprised if it was you who caused my death actually you wouldn't have had the guts to do it. Now my estate, various companies and our family fortune shall all go to my eldest grandson Nicholas Foxworth Winters, even though you changed your name your still a crane and the best to run the company. Now as for your insolent father and betrayer aunt ,they will get nothing absolutely nothing, well you'll still have your houses but you wont get any of my money"
and with that the face of Alistair crane faded out and the lawyer shut the TV off.
" I have some papers for you to sign and then all your grandfather mentioned and more will be yours"
He couldn't believe it his grandfather had left everything to him, he couldn't wait to tell Theresa and his kids but that would also mean telling her who he really was he hoped she would understand when he told her he was part of the towns richest families .
