Finding Faith
After Ethan has left the room, Theresa breathes a sigh of relief, and then looks up on the wall to find the cross of Jesus.
Bowing her head, she
begins to pray:
"God, I know I am probably not one of your
favorite people at the moment. But, I'm begging you to please help
me in this time of need. God, I am so lost as to what to do. I only
had the eggs implanted in me so I could get my son back. Now, I have
this connection to the twins, and I don't even know whose they
belong to. Are they both Gwen's? Or are they both mine? And if
they're mine, who is the father? Is Ethan right? Am I still
harboring feelings for him? God, I guess I am. How can I still love
a man who has hurt me so badly? I realize I've hurt him, too, but
I don't even know if he really loves me, either. Please, God, help
me do the right thing."
"He will, mija. God will show you
the right way." Pilar's voice suddenly says.
Looking up, Theresa
sees her mama. "Oh, mama, what am I going to do?"
Hugging
her daughter close to her chest, Pilar rubs Theresa's back.
"You're going to do the right thing, Theresa. You will carry
both these babies to term if that is what God wants. This is all a
part of his plan, my little girl. You're going to be okay, I know
it."
"Mama, I can't
believe what our life has come to."
"Neither can I,
Theresita. But, I have the faith that God is on our side. He will
make things right."
"I hope so, mama. God I hope so."
"I think I know what I have to do, mama." Theresa says after a while.
Looking into her daughter's eyes, Pilar nods her head. "You do what you feel is right, Theresa. Do the right thing."
Coming Up
Theresa comes to a decision, but will Gwen and Ethan approve?
