"Eve, Hey it's me.", Theresa began. "What's the results?", inside she was shaking her whole world was about to change.

"Theresa, I'm re-testing it,", Eve replied.

"Re-testing, Doctor Russell, I don't understand.", Theresa replied.

"Yeah, neither of the DNA's matched, Little Ethan's.", Eve replied.

"How's that possible?", Theresa asked, her mind a racing in every direction, who was the father of her child?

"I don't know.", Eve replied. "It's probably a mistake."

"Yeah, I only slept with Ethan and Julian.", Theresa replied.

"I know.", Eve replied. "Hold on, it's back.", Eve told her leaving her waiting for what seemed like eternity.

"Theresa?", Eve asked.

"Doctor Russell, who fathered my child?", Theresa asked.

"I don't know.", Eve replied.

"What do you mean, 'I don't know?' ",Theresa asked.

"The test shows neither Julian or Ethan's the father.", Eve replied.

"How accurate are the test?", Theresa asked.

"99.9.", Eve replied. "They're no lie to them, Julian nor Ethan is the man who you conceived Little Ethan with."

"Eve, I don't understand.", Theresa replied.

"Theresa, you slept with some other man, while you were in Bermuda.", Eve replied.

"How, when?", Theresa asked, more to herself. "I didn't have time."

"Well apparently you did, Theresa I'm sorry, I know this must be difficult.", Eve replied.

"Yeah, beyond, I'm not as innocent as I thought, Lord knows what I've got.", Theresa replied.

"No, Theresa, you've not got a thing, it isn't your fault you were drunk.", Eve argued.

"What do I tell Ethan Martin?", Theresa asked. "That I don't know who his father is? What would he think of me?"

"He'll understand, he loves you no matter what.", Eve replied.

"I know, I gotta go.", Theresa replied.

"Ok, Theresa, don't do nothing foolish, don't do nothing to jeopardize you and that little boys welfare., Eve replied.

"I won't.", Theresa replied. 'We're starting over just Ethan and I, but first I need to find out just who fathered my son.', "Bye, Eve."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Momma, I'm sorry to do this, but I must. Harmony, isn't as great as it once was (if fact it never really was), all I've seen in this town is heartache and deception. I'm sorry to take Ethan away from you, but I promise once I'm stable I'll arrange a flight out to see me. I'm sorry, momma, I'm not sure were I'm going now, I guess I'll let the fate take me.

'Fate', God at one time that's what I lived by, man wasn't I wrong, Ethan wasn't my destiny, look at how messed up that is, we never wed, never had children, hell he married someone else even. Look after Fox, make sure he's happy, do anything you can to help him get Whit. I love God, how I love him, but all I'll do is ruin his life, that's why he mustn't never know where I am.. Well, I got to go catch a plain, I'll call sometime this weekend or at least by mid week. Oh, and tell Loma, I'm sorry I didn't stay around to chat much and that I love her. Also, tell Luis, Miguel and Antonio the same.

Lot's of Love

Theresa @}--

She click send, then shut off her laptop, she'd be in Bermuda, before Pilar read her email.

"Mommy…", Ethan began, "why do we got to leave for?".

"Ethan Martin, don't you start this again.", Theresa replied. "I've told you once, mommy's got some important business to take care of."

"Well do I have to go too?", Ethan asked.

"Yes.", Theresa replied.

"Next flight boarding to Bermuda, leaving in 5 minutes.", the woman announced.

"Come on, Ethan.", Theresa grabbed his hand.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Theresa.", Whitney asked.

"Hey it's me Theresa, I can't get to the phone right now after the beep, well you know the drill.", the voice mail kicked in.

"Theresa, it's me Whit, call me whenever you get this.", Whitney replied, leaving a message on her voice mail.

"Where is she? She's not home? She won't answer I just hope she hasn't done anything foolish.", Whitnet said to herself.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"You're being awful quit tonight.", Paloma told Fox as they drove in the direction of the Lopez-Fitzgerald house.

"Have I, I've been thinking.", Fox replied honestly.

"About, Theresa?", Paloma questioned.

"Yeah.", Fox replied. "She's wonderful."

"And, you love her.", Paloma replied.

"With all my heart.", Fox replied.

"God, she's so lucky, Fox you're a great person.", Paloma replied. "Josh said all those things and didn't mean not a word of it."

"Well, I do.", Fox replied. "I'd never hurt her."

"I hope, because, Ethan about destroyed her and it'd be three times worst because your in love.", Paloma replied. "That and, I'll kick your ass if you so much as make her cry. I'll make the incident at the Book Café' look like heaven."

"Well, Loma you don't have to worry about that.", Fox replied.

"Good.", Paloma replied. "Cause, well I'd hate to slaughter your ass.", Plaoma replied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pilar had decided to check her mail, she'd received one from Rebecca.

Pilar.,

Terrocita e arranged a DNA, Julian isn't the father of her bastard, neither is Ethan, shows who's a slut, your daughter. She opened her legs to some other man besides pookie and Gwennie's hubby Ethan. Maybe now, Ethan will wash his hands with that gold digging whore And, as for Pookie, he wants nothing to do with her or her bastard son. Thank God she's out of my life for good.

Rebecca

Pilar felt enraged, Rebecca hadn't not an ounce of self dignity, always gloating in others pain.

She open up the next one it was from Julian.

Pilar,

First off let me apologues for Becky's previous email (which I'm sure you've already read), she has not morals at all.

Secondly, please let Theresa know I feel for her and hope she finds her child's father and that if she or Little Ethan need anything, to not hesitate to call. Also, tell her that I'm doing everything in my power to try to find out everything that went down in Bermuda, it's all a fuzzy blur to me and Theresa as well I'm sure. Also, I'm sorry for the pain that I've inflicted on Theresa and/ or you.

Julian.

PS: Don't worry about Becky, she'll be out of your lives, promise.

Pilar re-read the email again, Julian sounded sincere, not a bit like the Julian she knew.

Then she saw the email Theresa sent.

She was gone, and hadn't even said were she was, not only had she left she'd with Ethan her grandchild not even stopping to tell her nothing, not about the DNA test or that Julian nor Ethan were Ethan Martins father.

Picking up the phone she called the only person she could Fox, he seemed to know her better than anyone.

"Hello?", Paloma asked.

"Paloma, where are you? Where's Fox?", Pilar asked.

"Own my way home, he's driving me, why?", Paloma asked, she could tell something was wrong. "What happened?"

"Theresa, she's-she's gone.", Pilar stampred.

"What do you mean she's gone?", Paloma asked, getting Fox's attention.

"Who is that?", Fox asked glancing at her.

"Momma, Theresa's left.", Plaoma told him.

"She left me an email saying she was leaving, that Harmony was no long the place for her.", Pilar explained.

"Give me the phone.", Fox told Paloma, grabbing the phone with one hand and driving with the other.

"What's up?", Fox asked. "Where she go?"

"I don't know, she left me an email.", Pilar replied.

"Forward it, I'll stop at the Book Café' and read it.", Fox replied.

"Ok.", Pilar replied.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"So, she just left.", Paloma asked turning to Fox.

"No, she left because of me, Paloma she loves me, God, I may have lost her.", Fox replied. "I may have lost the love of my life."

"Fox, come on, we still might have time.", Paloma reasoned.

"No, she sent it two hours ago, Paloma she's gone.", Fox replied. "She's gone, I might not never see her again."

"Come on, lets go to the airport.", Paloma advised. "Push, your Crane power and see what they can tell us."

"Paloma, she doesn't want me to follow her.", Fox replied.

"Didn't you read her letter?", Paloma asked. "She loves you, and only wants to see you be happy."

"I know.", Fox replied.

"Come on, lets go.", Paloma replied jumping to her feet.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How may I help you?", the woman at the front desk asked.

"I need to know what flight Theresa Lopez- Fitzgerald took.", Fox asked.

"Sorry, sir, but…", the woman began.

"Do, you have any idea who I am…", Fox began, he hated using his name to get what he wanted.

"I don't care sir, I can't tell you about other passengers.", the woman began.

"Listen, ma'am, if you don't tell me you could lose your job.", Fox warned. "Do you know who I am?"

"No, who are you?", the woman asked. "Prince William?"

"Close, Fox Crane.", Fox replied.

"As in Nicholas Foxworth Crane.", Paloma chirped in. "So, I'd advise you tell us or pay the consequences."

Fox looked over at her smirking, she'd make a great wife for some rich guy, perhaps Dylan, man wouldn't she give him a run for his money. Both liked using his name to get what they wanted.

"Sir, ma'am, I apologize , she took a flight out to Bermuda and it left at 8:13.", the woman replied.

"When's the next flight?", Paloma asked. "To Bermuda.", she added.

"10:15 tomorrow.", the woman replied.

"None, tonight?", Fox asked.

"The weathers terrible.", the woman replied. "No one in there right mind would even attempt it.:"

"Well, I'm not in my right mind, I've got to get to Resa.", Fox replied, he was growing frustrated.

"Fox, calm down.", Paloma began.

"Loma, no, she's going to be in that place all by herself.", Fox replied. "Lord, knows what might happen to her, I'm leaving tonight."

"Fox, you heard her, it's dangerous.", Paloma reasoned.

"So, the pilots an expert.", Fox argued.

"There's a hurricane coming in tonight.", Paloma argued.

"That's why were leaving now, hopefully we'll bet the hurricane.", Fox replied.

"We?", Paloma asked.

"You're coming too, right?", Fox asked.

"Yea, of course.", Paloma replied.
