I do not own Passions.
Chapter 27- Bad News
Rebecca hurried nervously through the doors of the Excelsior Spa, located just outside of Harmony. Her Gwennie had been staying there since the little incident. She had been so worried about her daughter, and wanted her back in the mansion, even though she knew that it wasn't possible. Alistair and Kate had taken care of that when they put a restraining order on her poor Gwen.
Gwen was waiting for her in the lounge, wearing a white terry cloth robe, and light blue flip flops. Rebecca ran to her, and pulled her daughter into a hug.
Gwen gave her mother a tight lipped smile. "Gwennie, how are you? Are they treating you alright?" Rebecca asked, her eyes full of concern. Gwen looked on edge, her eyes bloodshot, and she couldn't sit still.
"Mother, I'm fine. I just wish that I could be home with you and Ethan." Gwen said, a worried look etched into her face. "How is he, Mother? How is Ethan? Does he understand why I had to do what I did?"
Rebecca had to look away from her. She didn't want to have to tell her daughter this, but she was going to have to find out eventually, and she thought that it should come from her, and not someone else.
"Mother, what is it?"
Rebecca took Gwen's hand, and gave it a supportive squeeze. "I don't know how to tell you this Gwennie..." She trailed off, not sure how to break the news to her only daughter. This was awful. And all Kate and Theresa's faults, they had done this to her poor baby.
"Is he alright? Did something happen to him?"
Rebecca shook her head. "Nothing like that, he is fine. He is a little upset about the recent events, and isn't taking any of this very well."
"What are you trying to say, Mother?" Gwen asked, her face stricken with panic.
"Honey, Ethan filed for a divorce yesterday."
"Darling, I must see you." Eve purred into the phone. "I hate that we have to be apart, can't you do anything?"
Julian sighed. "I don't know, sweetheart. It is not a very good idea for us to be seen together, especially since my daughter has made it perfectly clear to me that I am to have nothing more to do with you."
"Kate came to see me a few days ago, and made that same point perfectly clear." Eve told him. "But I don't care, I need you. We need to find our son. Soon."
Wherever that baby ended up, it was better off than with you two! Kate's words flew through Julian's mind. Did he really want to find this baby? Was it fair to his son?
"Julian, are you still there?" Eve's voice brought him out of his reverie. "You haven't said anything for five minutes. Are you coming to see me or not?" Eve was growing impatient. Usually, Julian would jump at the chance to be near her. Was he not interested in her anymore? Was Kate correct when she told her she was nothing but a conquest to recapture his long lost youth?
"I'm sorry Eve, but I can't. I can't risk it."
Eve's hopes fell. "Are you sure you can't?"
Julian closed his eyes, trying to strengthen his resolve. "Yes. I can't see you today, or tomorrow, and maybe even the next day, and the day after that. We can't be seen together, under any circumstances. I don't think that we should call each other either. Who knows if Kate will check phone records? I wouldn't put it past her, and we need to play this very carefully. My daughter is extremely dangerous to us, and has Alistair behind her."
Eve didn't say anything. She felt like her worst fears were being confirmed. Maybe she was just a passing fling, like she had been all those years ago.
Author's Note- Did anyone watch today's episode? (3/30/04) I was so excited at first when I saw Ethan standing there when Rebecca and Gwen turned around, and I was so annoyed when he hadn't heard anything! I do however, think that maybe, just maybe, if they brought that up, that the truth behind the email to the tabloid will come out soon! What do you guys think?
