My Children, My World.

Holding her daughter in her warm arms, Theresa looks down and smiles at her sweet angelic face.

"My beautiful baby. We're home. Home forever. There is no way I will let Ethan or Gwen take you away from me." Moving to the door, Theresa knocks.

"Mi hija, you're home!" Pilar says as she brings Theresa and the baby into the house and gives them a hug.

"Yes, mama, we're home."

"Oh, Theresita. Jane is back home with her mother. Are you alright, mi hija? You look so pale and thin?"

"I'm fine, mama. I'm fine." Theresa says as she puts the baby down in the crib. "Where is little Ethan?" Theresa asks.

"Mommy!" Little Ethan says as he runs into the living room.

"Oh, my baby boy!" Theresa says as she hugs her son into her arms. "I missed you so much, baby."

"Mommy, you have my sister!" Little Ethan says excitedly.

"Yes, baby, mommy has both her children with her now." And so God help anyone that tries to take them away from me. Theresa thinks to herself.

"Were you a good boy for abuela?"

"Yes, mommy. I did everything abuela told me to."

Smiling, Theresa strokes her son's hair. "Good boy. Now, it's past your bedtime, so why don't I go tuck you in?"

"Okay, mommy."

After tucking in her son, Theresa sits in the kitchen with Pilar and drinks some tea.

"So, mi hija, tell me what's wrong."

"I lost him, mama. This time for good. Ethan is out of my life. He chose Gwen."

"Theresita, I keep telling you that you will get hurt, but you never listen to me."
"Mama, I'm a grown woman with children. I make mistakes, and now, I've learned from them. Watching Ethan go back to Gwen made me finally realize that. He's made his bed, now he has to sleep in it. I have my children, they are my world, and from now on, they are my focus."

"Well, this is a turn around."

"Being away changed me, mama. I'm not the naïve girl Ethan thought me to be. I'm getting stronger, and now, I will learn to live without Ethan."

"Mija, you're doing the right thing."

"My children need their mother, and they will get that." Thanks for showing me the light, Ethan, and now, may you leave my heart forever…
