Anguish and Pain

"Theresa, did you just say you weren't going to have the procedure?" Gwen says as she grips Ethan's arm for support.

"You heard me, Gwen, that's what I said. I am not going to abort one baby to save the other. I want to give both these babies a chance." "And I want to make sure that you suffer from taking my child away from me as I will from you" Theresa thinks to herself.

Turning to Ethan, Gwen reels from Theresa's decision. "Can you believe this? I told you, Ethan, I told you that that bitch would do this to us! How could she, Ethan? What are we going to do?"

As Gwen cries in Ethan's arms, he stares at Theresa.

"Look at me all you want, Ethan, but this is what I had to do. I will not let Gwen and Rebecca take away everything from me."

"I have to get out of here." Pulling away from Ethan's grasp, Gwen runs off to the chapel.

"Theresa, I can't believe you." Ethan says in disgust as he follows his wife.

Taking a deep breath, Theresa looks up at her mother. "Mama, am I doing the right thing?"

Stroking her hair, Pilar looks at her daughter. "Yes, mi hija, you're doing the right thing. God gave you these two babies for a reason. What you did to get them was wrong, you know that. But now that they are growing, it is God's will to see if they will both survive or not. You just have to believe, Theresita, you have to believe."

After Pilar leaves, Theresa rubs her hands over her stomach. "I've caused so much pain to everyone. Getting pregnant was the only way I could hold on to getting my son back. How can God want me to keep these babies and still harbor the feelings I do for Ethan? How can I possibly go on with my life, not knowing what is going to happen?"

Meanwhile, at the Chapel

Gwen and Ethan walk into the hospital Chapel, and take their seats to pray for help from God.

"God, please let Theresa reconsider her decision. She took my little Sarah away form me. I need to have these babies. Please, God, let her do the right thing for once in her life."

"God, how can I still love Theresa? She is pregnant with the twins, and yet, I don't even know what to do right now. I want her to live, yet I want my children to live as well. Is she doing the right thing, God? Please let Gwen and I find our way through this."
