Bringing the Women Home (Part 2)

Following his home date with Theresa, Ethan gets up early the next morning, preparing to have Gwen meet his family.

"I wish I knew what to expect today with Gwen. One minute, she seems so nice and sweet, but after what happened at her house, I find myself wondering what is going on with her. Maybe my family can give me a better idea of what they think of Gwen."

Later on in the day, Ethan heads over to the Crane Mansion to meet up with his family. "Are you all ready to meet Gwen?"

"Yes, son, I think we are. We just want the best for you, don't forget that." Sam says.

"Thanks, dad." Hearing the limo approach, Ethan turns his head. "Well, here goes nothing. I'll be back." Leaving the living room, Ethan heads outside to greet Gwen coming out of the car.

"Hey sexy!"

"Hi, Gwen, how are you?" Ethan asks as he kisses her cheek.

"Great! Oh my God, Ethan, this house is beautiful! Is this where you live?"

"Not totally. This house belongs to my step-father, Julian Crane. I live in a smaller apartment closer to my dad and mom."

"Oh." Gwen says disappointingly. Maybe when I marry you, Ethan, we can move into this house. She thinks to herself as she accepts Ethan's arm to go inside.

"Everyone, I'd like you to meet Gwen."

"Hello, Gwen, I'm Ivy, Ethan's mother."

"Hello, it is nice to meet you."

"Hello, I'm Sam, Ethan's father."

"Pleasure."

"Please, let's all sit down."

Once everyone is sitting down, Ivy begins the questions. "So, Gwen, tell us about yourself."

"Well, I have lived in Harmony all my life. I went to boarding school out in London. I'm an only child, and studied international business in college. Graduated top of my class."

"Impressive. Tell me, Gwen, what do you see in my son?" Sam asks curiously.

"Ethan is a great guy. He is nice and sexy and has a great personality." Gwen smiles at Ethan.

"You know, this house is so beautiful. Hopefully, I can move into a house like this with my husband." Gwen says coyly, as she looks at Ethan.

Ethan clears his throat, feeling a little closed in. "Dad, can I see you for a second?"

"Sure, son." As the two move away to another room, Ivy hones in more on Gwen. "So, Gwen, why did you go on the show to find a husband?"

"Well, Ivy, I wanted to find someone who was honest and trusting. When I learned Ethan was the bachelor, I knew I had to meet him, and see if I could be with him in the end. He is a great catch."

"Well, he is my son, and I want the best for him. Just make sure you realize that. Ethan is not a man who is obsessed with materialistic things. His father and I raised him to be a good man, an honest man."

"Oh, of course. Ethan is a great man, Ivy."

(Meanwhile..)

"So, what do you think, dad?"

Sam thinks for a moment before answering. "Well, son, she is definitely different from Theresa. Don't get me wrong, Gwen is a very beautiful woman. But, listening to her now, it seems she's more obsessed with materialistic things than she is in the heart of the matter, if you know what I mean?"

"Yeah, dad, I'm seeing that now. Gwen is definitely different than she was in the house. I kept her until the end because there was just something different about her, you know? Something attracted me to her. Don't tell this to anyone, but when I went to her home, her father was trying to buy her off on me. I didn't like that at all. That's not the type of man I am."

"No, it's not, and I'm proud of you for that."
"Thank you. I just don't know what I want to do."

"Well, Ethan, all I can really tell you to do is follow your heart. If your heart is not with Gwen, then you have to tell her that."

"I know. The final rose ceremony is tomorrow. I have one last meeting with Gwen and Theresa, and then that night I propose to one of them. I'm nervous yet excited."

Sam hugs his son. "Well, son, I am very proud of you for making it this far. You have your family's support, and I know you will make the right choice."

"Thanks, dad."

Once Sam and Ethan return to the living room, Gwen immediately sticks to Ethan like glue. "I missed you, you were gone so long."

Easing her grip from his waist, Ethan looks at Gwen. "Sorry, I just had to talk to my dad for a bit."

"Is everything alright?" She asks as she bats her lashes at him.

"Yes, everything is fine." Or, at least, it will be fine once this can come to an end.

"Great to know."

Sighing, Ethan looks up to the ceiling. God, please let me make the right choice.
