Welcome Home!

As the plane takes off from the runaway, Gwen sighs in her seat. "Honey, what's wrong?" Ethan asks as he puts his arm around her.

"I miss my daughter, Ethan. Ashley…Jane….she's mine…"

"Gwen, you know the truth. Jane is Theresa's daughter."

"Yes, but she's also yours! Please, Ethan, can you fight for custody?"

"Honey…"

"Listen to me, Ethan! I want to be a mother to your daughter! Theresa doesn't deserve to be a mother! We already have her son, we need our daughter."

"Honey, honey, we promised Theresa we'd give Little Ethan back to her when she gave birth to our child. Jane isn't ours."

"Yes, she is! Please, Ethan, will you just think about sharing custody of your daughter?"

Giving up, Ethan sighs. "Fine, Gwen, I'll think about it."

"Oh, honey, thank you!" Gwen says as she kisses Ethan's cheek.

This is unreal. How did my life become so complicated? Ethan thinks to himself, as he watches the night sky through the plane window.

Seeing Theresa play with Jane, Gwen fumes. "You just wait, Theresa. You will loose your baby girl to me." She says as she stands over Theresa.

Ignoring Gwen, Theresa continues to look at her little girl. If you think you're going to take MY daughter away from me, Gwen, you're in for the fight of your life.

"What's the matter, Theresa? Cat got your tongue?"

"Gwen, leave Theresa alone." Fox says as he brings Gwen back to Ethan.

"Fox? What are you doing with Gwen?" Ethan asks as he watches Fox escort Gwen to her seat.

"Taking her away from Theresa. I heard her threaten to Theresa that Jane wouldn't be hers much longer."

"Gwen!"

"Ethan, I'm sorry. I don't know what came over me. I just got so upset with watching Theresa hold my daughter."

My God, when is this going to end! Ethan thinks to himself as he gets up.

"Where are you going, Ethan? Are you going back to Theresa?" Gwen asks nervously.

"No, I'm getting a drink. Fox, do you want to join me?"

"Sure."

Moving to the mini bar on the plane, Ethan sighs. "Bro, I sure don't want to be in your shoes right now." Fox says as the two drink.

"Fox, please, not now."

"Well, you made your choice, Ethan, are you regretting it?"

"No! I love my wife."

"But you love Theresa more."

"That's besides the point. I made a commitment to Gwen in front of God. I intend to honor that commitment."

"You, my brother, are delusional."

"No, I'm sane, thank you."

"Oh, sorry, your wife is the insane one."

"Fox!"

"Sorry, Ethan, but I don't buy this marriage bit for one second. I saw what Gwen was telling Theresa. That does not look like a woman giving up. She will take Jane at any cost away from Theresa. YOU are the one to stop it."

"What can I do, Fox? I'm up to my eyeballs as it is."

"I don't know, bro, but somehow, someway, you have to figure your life out once and for all."

With that, Fox moves away from Ethan, leaving him to reflect on his actions.

"This is unreal. All I wanted was a calm, loving family. How did my life get so complicated?"
