Chapter Seven
Part Two
Silent shock reigned supreme in the living room, but in Port Charles, Theresa cried in gladness in Lucky's arms. The truth about why Sarah had died had finally been revealed.
Ivy finally shook her head and spoke up. "Oh my god! Gwen, was Sarah not important to you?"
"Yes, I loved my daughter!" Gwen exclaimed.
"But you've shown that what was more important to you was getting Theresa away from me, not our child like it should've been! You are to blame for Sarah's death!" Ethan shouted at her.
Alistair held up his hand, which quieted everyone down and he continued. "And the next one is about Rebecca. The reason why Julian and Rebecca won the custody case and then tore away Theresa's parental rights was because Rebecca had paid off Judge Reilly to decide in their favor."
"Damn you Rebecca! How could you?" Pilar asked menacingly.
"I share in Pilar's anger at you, Rebecca. That shows that you and Julian never really had legal custody and the adoption of Little Ethan is illegal," Ric said.
"Which means that the both of you can be charged with kidnapping," Lucky said.
"Very true, Lucky. And don't you worry. Sam is ready to do just that," Chad said.
"Thanks, Chad," Theresa said.
"Of course, if Rebecca hadn't paid off the judge, a truth about Gwen would've been discovered," Victoria said.
"What truth?" Ivy asked.
"The truth that Gwen is actually a deadbeat mother!" Jonathan announces.
"I am not!" Gwen screams.
"What do you call never paying child support for Anna and Joshua, never visiting them, never even writing to them!" Jonathan screamed back.
Gwen's eyes widened. "I was told that they had been killed in a car accident!"
"Who told you that?" Alistair asked.
"Mom did. She told me about the accident. She even showed me a newspaper clipping," Gwen said, pulling the clipping from her purse. She handed it to Alistair, who handed it to Jonathan.
Jonathan examined the clipping. He then shook his head. "This story is true, but the names were changed. This car crash killed two little twin girls several states away from where Abraham has Anna and Joshua."
Gwen turned toward her mother at that moment with hatred in her eyes. She couldn't believe what her mother had done. She loved her two children and she knew just how much she had grieved for them and now she knew she had grieved in vain. Her two children were alive and well.
"I will do everything I have to do to pay the overdue child support for the twins. I will call Abraham and explain what happened. Hopefully, he will allow me to reestablish a relationship with them. I understand if he won't allow it. I haven't been the maternal figure in their lives since I was told about the accident," Gwen said.
"I will help you with that, Gwen. You deserve the chance to reestablish a relationship with your children," Julian said.
"So will I, Gwen," came Nikolas's voice over the connection. "We know now that this wasn't totally your fault. I will pay some of the child support for you."
"And, I thank you, Nikolas. And in return, I will give Theresa her sons back," Gwen said.
"I will, as well. They want you, anyway, Theresa. They know who their mother is and they don't want anyone else," Ethan said.
Theresa smiled. She was getting her children back. "Ethan, keep them until I'm totally set up here, then I'll send for them."
"One other thing, yet," Vanessa said from her chair.
"Yes, indeed. There is one more thing to do," Alistair said, handing a manila envelope to Julian.
Julian opened up the envelope and there was a smile on his face. He walked toward Rebecca with the envelope and pulled out the papers inside. Divorce papers. He placed them on the table that had been placed beside her chair and quickly signed the papers before turning to the woman who had ruined his life. "Sign, Rebecca."
Rebecca shook her head vehemently. "No! I'm sorry for everything I've done! I love you!"
"You don't know what love is, Rebecca. You know nothing about how love feels. Sign the papers, now!" Julian exclaimed.
Rebecca quickly bowed her head before she took the pen and signed her name on the papers. She put down the pen and Julian placed the papers back in the envelope. He handed the envelope back to Alistair.
A maid came into the room at that moment. "Mr. Crane, all of Miss Hotchkiss's things have been packed."
"Good. Rebecca, I suggest that you leave now. I'm sure you could always go live with one of your other lovers," Alistair said.
"And anyway, you couldn't stay with Gwen and I either. We're going to find a new place to live," Ethan said.
Gwen nodded. "Yes. I don't want you to be anywhere near our new home or even in my new life! Ethan and I are going to start anew, if we can, with a new home and a new beginning! And you would only drag us down."
"Gwen is right, Rebecca. Gwen deserves a chance at a new start with Ethan. But you do not belong in it," Lucky said through the connection.
"Gwen, just do your best to change and learn from your mistakes. I did and that is why my marriage to Sonny has lasted," Carly said.
"I will do my best. Thank you for the advice, Carly. I will definitely use it," Gwen said.
Everyone dispersed slowly a moment later, as the final revelation had been revealed. At least, the final revelation that Alistair wanted revealed. Lives had changed, but all that mattered was that Theresa would be getting Matthew and Ethan Martin back.
Hours later, Theresa slept in her bed and Lucky watched over her. She slept peacefully and with a smile on her face. Lucky smiled at the sight. He was glad to see her so happy, even to where her dreams could bring a smile to her face.
Lucky rose and walked to the window, looking at the stars. He could see the North Star from the window. He made a wish and closed his eyes.
Sonny stood just outside the door, watching the two. He was happy for his cousin and happy for Lucky as well. He was happy to see the relationship that was forming between the two of them. He knew that they had feelings for each other for a long time, but now they were exploring those feelings. And he knew that they would develop very strong feelings of love for each other.
Theresa woke slightly and stared at the man she was falling in love with. She turned slightly and turned on the stereo Nikolas had brought in for her and she played the CD inside, skipping until she found the right song.
Lucky turned as he heard the beginning chords and saw Theresa getting up from her bed. He quickly moved to her side. The two began to dance to the song that would become theirs.

You're all I ever wanted, I always want you to be mine
