Chapter One
(At the book cafe)
(Theresa sits at a table gazing at Sheridan and Mark)

Theresa: How could you do this to me Ethan? How could you keep me from my daughter? As god as my witness I will get her back. I will have Jane back in my arms where she belongs.
(Ethan walks over to Theresa)

Ethan: Theresa?

Theresa: Ethan.
(Theresa stands up and slaps Ethan across the face)

Ethan: I know I'm probably the last person you wanted to see.

Theresa: Oh gee, wonder why. I thought I knew you, but I turns out I don't. The man I love would never take my daughter away from me.

Ethan: It was the court's decision Theresa.

Theresa: Don't play the court card with me, okay? You did everything in your power to make sure Gwen would be the one to raise my Jane.

Ethan: I didn't have a choice, Theresa you forced my hand.

Theresa: Ethan Gwen tried to kill me four times, she belonged in prison. Then she stole my baby away from me. The woman is pure evil and I don't want my daughter anywhere near her.

Ethan: Just stop okay?

Theresa: No, Gwen may have you and her freedom. But hear me on this she will never, do you understand me never have my daughter.

Ethan: Calm down, nothing is permanent yet.

Theresa: You better make darn well sure of that. How do you think Jane would feel knowing her father is keeping her from her mother?

Ethan: Theresa you are Jane's mother and I want you to be in her life.

Theresa: How noble of you.

Ethan: Do not work with Alistair. Getting involved with him is a mistake.

Theresa: I will do whatever it takes to get my little girl back.

Ethan: He will hurt you more than you've ever imagined. The price of allying with Alistair is too high.

Theresa: What makes you think you have a right to tell me what to do.

Ethan: I care about you.

Theresa: You care about me? How much you care is obvious, not much at all. One day you love me, the next i'm a dispicable monster, and then you care about me. Which is it because I'm having a hard time keeping track.

Ethan: Theresa I... I do...

Theresa: You know what just save it. I don't want to hear it.
(Theresa runs out of the book cafe and Ethan chases after her)

Ethan: Don't just run out like that.

Theresa: Why not? You've ran out on me more times than I can count.

Ethan: I never ran out on you. After the tabloid incident our relationship was over. Theresa I told you over and over I can't be with someone I can't trust.

Theresa: And I told you Ethan over and over I never did that. How can you believe I would betray you in the worst possible way?

Ethan: Even now you still can't be honest with me. We've been over for years and you still can't tell me the truth. Maybe I could have forgiven you if you had just been honest with me.

Theresa: If I admited to outing your paternity to the tabloids then I would be lying. Ethan I never did it because I love you. What I admit to is having the information on my laptop and yes I was so hurt and angry with you I was tempted to send it to the tabloids. But I didn't, I couldn't go through with it.

Ethan: This is pointless, we can't dread up the past. What we once had is over and we will never have it again. I'm married to Gwen and I'm staying with her, I'll never leave her. I trust Gwen completely.

Theresa: This isn't about you, me, us, or even Gwen. Jane is my daughter and I will never allow Gwen to raise her. I will get my daughter back.

Ethan: I want you to have Jane back Theresa I do. I want us to share joint custody of our daughter. Just don't turn to alistair for to do so, the man is toxic. He destroys everything he touches.

Theresa: I'm an adult I can make my own choices whether you like them or not.

COMING: At the mansion Alistair is all over Theresa as Ethan sees red!
