Note: Based on a little rumor going around with the naming of Theresa and Ethan child I put it in this chapter. So it can be a bit of a spoiler if you guys don't won't to know her name will be. The name is subject to change if and when Theresa or whomever decide to the name the bundle of joy. Other then that Enjoy the story.

Chapter 2: Bills, Bills, Sign It?

"Yes I'll have send it in the mail first thing tomorrow morning." Ethan said trying to reassure a nasty bill collector. "Better yet I'll send it over the Internet so it can be there sometime by tonight. I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Thank you so much goodbye."

Ethan put his hand through his hair. His face had signs of stress and the bags under his eyes were signs that he hadn't slept in a while.

"What am I going to do" Ethan said out loud.

"Do what?" Fox came in carrying Fox Jr. in his arms.

"Hey, Fox and how's my little nephew doing." Ethan said while playing with Fox Jr..

"So what are you going to do?" Fox asked.

"Oh, it's nothing."

"It didn't sound like nothing. Tell me about it. Maybe I can help."

"Fine, can you keep a secret?"

"Depends on what or how big it is?" Fox replied jokingly.

"I'm serious."

"Of course big bro, shoot."

"Well every sense the incident with Gwen going to the rehabilitation center and Theresa being confine to a wheel chair not to mention the arrival of Little Janey."

"Where is she by the way?" Fox asked. "We were suppose to have a little play date."

"Oh, I completely forgot. Pilar picked her up earlier then usual."

"Well that's okay I'm sure we can do it another time."

"Maybe, but I'm not so sure when. Gwen's coming back tomorrow I really don't want to upset her much and I want to spend as much time with her as possible."

"So that's what's bothering you. I'm sure you and Gwen will work it out fine she's well now."

"That's only half of it. Here take a look at this." Ethan passes Fox one of his bills.

"Whoa, that's a lot of zeros. I don't get it why are they sending this to you isn't this covered by Crane Insurance."

"Unfortunately, it's not. When Gwen almost killed Theresa it went past some type of clause which went against the Insurance. Even though Gwen was diagnosed as not being in her right mind they still won't cover it. Not to mention they also won't cover Theresa's medical bills which I insisted on paying every dime for. The only thing the Insurance did cover was the baby's medical bills but I still have to pay child support."

"Man that's rough. I'm sure if you showed Theresa some of the bills she could make an agreement with you when it comes to the child support."

"No." Ethan replied angrily. " I won't ask Theresa for any help. It's my baby too and I want to take care of her. Theresa has already been through enough she's in a wheelchair, taking care of little Ethan and our daughter. Beth just offered her, her old job back at the Book Café. I can't and I won't take away our baby's child support."

"Well Ethan, Theresa was the one who put herself in this mess. She was the one who drugged you and then put Gwen's baby in danger causing her to lose her only chance of having a child.. I can't say what Gwen did was right but after being a parent myself I can see her side of the story at least.

"Theresa had a side of the story too. She lost custody of Little Ethan she thought it was the only way."

"Yeah I guess your right bro. But you should at least tell her what's going on. I'm not saying you should give up on the payments completely but at least just delay the payments for a while at least till you pay off the rest of your payments. Theresa loved you once and probably still cares about you she'll understand that you need help."

"For the last time no Fox. I'll find a way to pay of the bills and pay for our child. I'll find a way to manage."

"We'll if you need any help I have a little emergency cash still left over from my trust fund and savings account."

"Thanks Fox but this is something I have to do on my on."

"I can't believe it." Rebecca stumbled into the Crane mansion.

"Hello, Rebecca." Fox said.

"Oh my Fox don't tell me your living back here again. You didn't get in with your old key? I could have sworn I told Lee the locksmith to change the locks on the door. I told Julian no more babies in this house it's awful enough Terrorsita brat's runs around here all day now you and Whitney are bringing your ..."

"That's enough Rebecca." Ethan commanded. "Look I'm sorry about that Fox sometimes Rebecca just doesn't know when to shut her trap."

"Well it's not my fault if it's all true." Rebecca whined.

"That's okay Ethan." Fox stated while ignoring Rebecca spiteful remark. "Fox Jr. and I have to go meet mommy at Theresa's. Look if you need any help you can always call." Fox replied before walking to the front door.

"Rebecca have you completely lost your mind?" Ethan asked.

"No, that would be my daughter. I can't believe what's she just did to me."

"Rebecca, what are you talking about? Gwen didn't have a relapse when you visited her?"

"No, well kind of." Rebecca stated trying to hide the guilt on her face.

"What did you do?"

"Well, uhhhh I kind of told a little fib."

"How little?"

"Okay kind of big but I didn't know it would all come to this. I told you I was going to visit Gwenny when in reality I went there to pick her up."

"That's impossible Gwen isn't set for release until tomorrow. I talked to the hospital staff just a couple of days ago."

"Well that was really me. I payed off the hospital staff to tell you she was being released tomorrow when in fact she was being released today."

"You did what!" Ethan shouted.

"Don't be mad at me Ethan I thought it would be wonderful if you thought she was being released tomorrow and then having her surprise you today. I even fibbed to Gwen that you were busy with your br..child to even come and see her. I knew she was going to be upset but would be so relieved when she saw how happy and surprised you were going when you saw her that she would forget all about my fib when she was in your arms. It was suppose to be so romantic. "

"Was? Well that's in past tense so that must mean that she decided to stay, right?"

"Not, exactly."

"So, where is she.? Is she outside in the limo." Ethan ran to the hallway by the front door. He peeped out the door window. "Oh, is she hiding? Gwen always loved to hide. She was always good at surprises."

"No, Ethan, she's not outside or anywhere on the Crane estate. Well at least I don't think she isn't." Rebecca stated while walking back to into the living room making sure Gwen wasn't around.

"Rebecca, your not making any sense." Ethan said following Rebecca.

"Well she told the chauffeur to drop me off even though I insisted not too. Then she threatened me, oh dear I can't believe my Gwenny did that."

"Oh, no she didn't try to attack you again did she?"

"No nothing like that although somehow I wish she did it wouldn't have been as worse as what she is planning to do."

"What is Gwen planning to do?" Ethan pleaded. "Tell me Rebecca."

"Don't tell him a thing mother." Gwen ordered as she walked into the living room. "Let me have the honor of telling him."

"Oh Gwen, I was so worried about you." Ethan ran to hug her but Gwen made sure to put an end to his sign of affection.

"Hello, Ethan. We need to talk." Gwen said

"Oh Gwen think about what your going to do." Rebecca replied.

"Think about what?" Ethan asked confusingly. "What is going on?"

"Maybe this should clear things up." Gwen pulled a long brown envelope out from her purse.

Ethan opened the envelope and had a look of utter disbelief. "This can't be what I think it is."

"It can and it is Ethan. I'm moving out and I want a divorce."

"Gwen you can't be serious let's at least talk this over. What ever I did I'm sorry..I.."

Gwen silenced him before he could say another word. "Ethan there's nothing you can do to change my mind. But there is one thing you can do for me."

"What is it?" Ethan said in a whisper.

"You can sign it." Gwen said while pulling and handing Ethan a ink pen.
