Ethan shot straight out of bed he looked over to his side and Theresa was fast asleep he lifted up the blanket to reveal Theresa bulging belly. He let out a sigh of relief and laid gently back on the bed. He had to come up with a plan to get rid out Francesca not for his sake but for Theresa and the unborn baby he didn't want anything to happen to them. He couldn't believe the mess that he had gotten himself into. Ethan finally drifted to sleep, Theresa open her eyes "What was that all about Ethan" she whispered She was going to find out what was bothering him and she was not going to stop until she finds what she was looking for!

That morning Theresa woke up to find that Ethan was already up, she got up showered and headed downstairs, she went in search for Ethan but could not find him anywhere. Then she saw it taped on the fridge

Sweetie,

Went out for a run be back before breakfast.

Love,

Ethan

She knew now that something was bothering him Ethan only went out jogging when something was bothering him. She couldn't understand why he couldn't' talk to her about his problems, she didn't know how it ended up this way Ethan being so distant, she knew he love her but how much, she knew they had a problem especially if she had to question her love for him.  Deep down in her heart she loved Ethan not like she did before the whole ordeal with Gwen, but there was this slight tug in her heart like something she was missing something she wanted but knew she couldn't have because of the path she decided to take, if only things were different, if only….. That was a big IF.

Ethan who at this point was jogging his heart out, he was contemplating on how he was going to get rid of Francesca, He did not want her to ruin things with him and Theresa, but then again he was perfectly content with her keeping Fox occupied, he knew his brother was in love with his wife he could see it every time Fox look at Theresa, that gleam in his eyes, Ethan had that same gleam every time he thought of Theresa, hell every time he was near her, he love her with all his heart even when he had given up on their love she was the one to fight not for herself but for them, but even he didn't understand what possess him to do what he did, maybe it was temptation, the thought of having forbidden fruit maybe it was just pure lust, he couldn't understand hell he didn't want to understand he just wanted buried it somewhere far away where Theresa would never find out, He knew that deep down inside if Theresa ever found out, he was a goner for sure, she would never forgive him, I mean come now who in their right mind would forgive someone who would blatantly betray their vows like that, vows were sacred he just couldn't understand what had come over him. Before he notice he was home, this was heaven on earth, and there was no way in hell or on earth for that matter was he going to let anyone ruin that, not Francesca hell not even Fox, Theresa was his and it was going to stay that way, no matter what!

Ethan opens the door only to be greeted by Theresa

"Hey baby!" smiled Ethan "Where are you going?"

"I am just really craving some big strawberries with plain yogurt and brown sugar, I was just going to the market!" smiled Theresa "Did you have a nice Jog?"

"Yea I just needed to clear my head!"

"Baby, what has been bothering you?"

"Nothing just, worried about you and the baby!"

"Yea keep lying to me Ethan, I'll get to the bottom of this!" thought Theresa "That's sweet hunny, but you don't have to worry about us we are perfectly fine!"

"Look Theresa give me 5 minutes and I'll go with you!"

"No Ethan I will be fine!" smiled Theresa

"No Theresa I insist I am going with you!"

"O.k. Fine I am not going to argue with you!"

Back at Fox's house Francesca and Fox had just gotten up from a night of some excellent sex, Francesca had never had anyone like Fox before he was the best, but with Fox it was a different story, sure he like Ashley and all, but deep down inside he felt like he was betraying Theresa.  Every time they made love Fox would picture Ashley as Theresa and all the guilt would wash away, that is until he woke up the next morning and realize that she wasn't Theresa.

"Morning Sun Shine!" smiled Francesca/ Ashley "How did you sleep?"

"Great, how about yourself!"

"Wonderful after last night!" laughed Ashley "I was wondering maybe you would like to repeat last nights escapade?" she said as she gently caresses his manhood trying to get him aroused "Huh what do you say?"

"Ash, we have to get up I promise Theresa that we would go over there this morning and have breakfast with her and Ethan!"

"God why does that bitch always ruin everything!" Francesca screamed in her head "O.k. A Promise is a Promise now!" she said kind of Sarcastically

After they had both showered and dress they headed to Theresa and Ethan house, they had pulled into the driveway the same time that Theresa and Ethan had

"Hey Fox, You made it!"

"Of course I did Scarlet, I made promise didn't I!" as he leaned over to hug her

"Yea you did!" smiled Theresa "Hi Ashley!" as she walked over and hug her "Glad you could make it Ashley, come in!"

"Hey Ethan!"

"Hey bro!"

Francesca could feel the tension between the 2 brothers, but neither would admit it to the other!

"Thanks for having me Theresa!" smiled Francesca

"So Scarlet, what's for breakfast!"

"Belgium waffles layered with whipped cream, strawberries, blueberries, raspberry and blackberries, an omelet with cheese, tomatoes, diced onions, cilantro, green onions, mushrooms and ham, bacon, and fresh squeeze Orange Juice!"

"Sounds great, I hope Ethan isn't cooking!"

"Hey, I think I am o.k. Cook!" Laughed Ethan

"Yea he makes the best water!" laughed Theresa

"You like it!"

"Yea Baby because you know how to serve it right!"

"Ugh, O.k. guys!" said Fox pointing to himself and Ashley "Company here!" laughed Fox

Francesca watched as the three friends laughed it up, the tension that was there before was now gone! It was amazing, she had never had friends like that, she really did want to rethink her plan but then she thought about what Ethan had done to her and she made up her mind she wanted revenge more than anything. She didn't want to hurt Theresa, she kind of liked her in her own cynical way, but it was her fault if she wasn't in the picture then Ethan would be all hers.  If that wasn't enough Fox wanted her too, Francesca was not about to lose another man to Theresa, that she promise.

Theresa, Ethan and Fox cooked in the Kitchen while Francesca explored the house, she looked at the picture of Theresa, Fox and Ethan at the beach, looking happy as ever, there was a picture of Ethan Jr. and Theresa in front of the Crane Mansion, a Picture of Ethan and Theresa at their wedding, a picture of a women with Ethan and Theresa and baby Ethan at a cabin of some sort, Francesca thought she investigate, she went into the kitchen and asked Theresa who was that in the picture with Ethan and her.

"Theresa!"

"Yes, Ashley!"

"I was wondering who is this with you and Ethan!" asked Francesca as she showed the picture to Theresa

"Oh my where did you find that picture?"

"It had fallen next to the desk and I saw it sorry, was I not supposed to see it!"

"No I thought I got rid of it all!' replied Ethan

"That is Gwen!" whispered Theresa

"You mean!"

"Yea!" said Theresa Who was shaking at this point

"Are you o.k.?" asked Francesca liked she was really concern

"Yea, it's just that seeing her picture after all these years, brings back horrible memory!" smiled Theresa "I mean talking about her is one thing but seeing her picture is another!"

"She is that Gwen, THAT YOU KNOW!"

"Yes!"

"Oh my god Theresa I am sorry!" said Francesca "Looks like I found your weakness Theresa!" laughed Francesca to herself

"If you don't mind me asking where is she?"

"Well we really don't talk about her much, I mean since she did kill Theresa and all, but last I heard she was in the Castleton Mental Hospital!" said Ethan

"Come on let's stopped all this!" yelled Fox "Let's eat that's what we came here for!"

"Baby you o.k.!" Ethan asked Theresa

"Yea I am o.k. A little shook up, but I'll be find Thank you!" smiled Theresa

"Hey I love you!" said Ethan as he leaned in to kiss her

"I love you too!"

Theresa walked over to get the Orange Juice from the fridge she grabbed it but in the fridge she saw Gwen aiming her gun at her Theresa screamed and dropped the Orange Juice.

"Theresa!" yelled Fox and Ethan as they both rushed to her side "Are you o.k.?"

"Gwen…… She…. Ah… um …..is …in the fridge….Oh god Ethan she is going to kill me again!"

"No Theresa look!" as he open the fridge "There is no body here!" smiled Ethan "You were just imagining it, baby calm down your shaking, come on sit down!" as he led her to the kitchen table

Fox turned around and gave Ashley/ Francesca an evil look – like why did you have to do that for! kind of look, Francesca only shrugged.

"Tomorrow" she thought, "I am going to have to pay a visit to Gwen Hotchkiss, I wonder if she know that Theresa is alive!"
