Chapter Seven
(Theresa sits down at the kitchen table)
(Getting upset by flashbacks of when Alistair raped her, Ethan touches her shoulder and she jumps)
(Turning around to see Ethan)

Ethan: What's wrong?

Theresa: Oh nothing, you just startled me, that's all.

Ethan: You thought I was Alistair.

Theresa: No, don't be silly.

Ethan: Theresa I know you. I know Alistair hurt you so why won't you press charges against him?

Theresa: I can't, I just can't, okay?

Ethan: Alistair needs to pay for what he did to you before he has the change to hurt you again.

Theresa: If I sent Alistair to prison my life would be the one that ends.

Ethan: What are you saying?

Theresa: Alistair is going to help me get you back.

Ethan: No Theresa, we're not going to go through this again.

Theresa: We are going to go through it until you follow you heart and come back to me.

Ethan: I told you over and over I married to Gwen and I will never leave her. I love Gwen.

Theresa: I know what you told me and I also know that you're lying through your teeth. I'm the woman you truly love, not Gwen. We can be together.

Ethan: No we can't.

Theresa: Our love can't be locked up forever, we can be together. Our love is too strong and true to be denied and I can prove it to you.

Ethan: How, how could you...
(Theresa kisses Ethan and they kiss passionately)
(Ethan pulls away)

Ethan: No, god, are you crazy?

Theresa: We are both crazy, crazy in love with each other.

Ethan: Do you ever quit?

Theresa: No I will never give up on you. I will never stop fighting for our love.

Ethan: Our love can't be, there's no room for it in our lives anymore.

Theresa: We can't erase what's in our hearts.

Ethan: We have to, we have to keep our love buried inside because we will never be a couple again.

Theresa: Actions speak louder than words Ethan. I felt it in your kiss how much you love me.

Ethan: It doesn't matter, I will never break my marriage vows to Gwen.

Theresa: You already have.

Ethan: No I haven't and I won't.

Theresa: You love me and when you have sex with your wife you're thinking about making love to me.

Ethan: Stop it.
(Theresa's runs her hand up Ethan's arm)

Theresa: The way you feel when I touch you.

Ethan: Don't do this to me.

Theresa: You see, you can't hide how you feel.

Ethan: Theresa this a non issue, I am with Gwen, not you. We will never be together, not ever. Am I getting through to you? Do you understand?

Theresa: What I don't understand is how you could turn your back on true love just top keep a promise you never should have made.

Ethan: Theresa you need to accept the truth of my marriage to Gwen.

Theresa: I have accepted the truth, you love me and want to be with me. I am the woman you want to be married to.

Ethan: Theresa for the last time I am married to Gwen and I will never leave her.

Theresa: You say that now.

Ethan: No, that's the fact that will never change.

Theresa: What about us?

Ethan: There is no us.

Theresa: You don't believe that anymore than I do.
(Theresa pulls Ethan into a passionate kiss)
(Ethan caresses Theresa's face as they kiss and then pulls away)

Ethan: No, this stops now.

Theresa: No, it will never stop. The heartache and confusion won't end until we're the family we are meant to be.

Ethan: Gwen is my family, she is my wife.

Theresa: I should be your wife, we should be married. You and I should be family together with my son and our daughter.

Ethan: We will always be connected through Jane, but that is where it ends.

Theresa: I will get you back Ethan, we'll be the family we're supposed to be.

Ethan: It's not going to happen.

Theresa: When I prove Gwen was the one who sent the information outing your true paternity you will undo the mistake you made by marrying her instaed of me.

Ethan: Enough Theresa, you're grasping at starws. Gwen would never betray me, she would never lie to me.

Theresa: She would and she has.

Ethan: I can't listen to this anymore.

Theresa: We have this passion that is undeniable, the love we share is much stronger than your obligation to Gwen. We are soulmates Ethan, we will be together, it's fate.
(Theresa goes in to kiss Ethan, but he pushes her away)

Ethan: No, enough about fate, alright? It's not going to work. You know I don't think we should be in the same room together anymore.

Theresa: You don't mean that.

Ethan: I do mean it. Whenever we are in the same room, we can't control ourselves.

Theresa: That's because our hearts take over. you and I being together is what's right.

Ethan: One last time we are never going to be together, never.
(Ethan walks past Theresa and leaves the room)
(Theresa stands still heartbroken, hearing Gwen and Rebecca about to walk in the room Theresa hides)
(Gwen and Rebecca sit at the table)

Rebecca: And just where is your husband now, huh?

Gwen: Mother he is not with Theresa, he sees that lying viper for what she is.

Theresa(talking to herself): You're one to talk Gwen.

Rebecca: Ethan better stay away from that tramp or else.

Gwen: You know if Ethan ever found out what we did. I would lose him mother. i would lose Ethan to Theresa again.

Theresa(talking to herself): From your lips to Ethan's ears Gwen.

Rebecca: Gwennie, Ethan will never find out. He blames Theresa, not us, we are home free.

Theresa(talking to herself): I knew you two bitches set me up and i will not rest until I prove it to Ethan.

Gwen: Okay good because if Ethan ever found out taht you and I were the ones who sent the email to the tabloids outing his true paternity. Ethan would never forgive me, I'd lose him forever.

Theresa(talking to herself): Yes, I knew it! I will find the evidence against Gwen that proves she was the one that decieved Ethan, not me. Ethan and I will be together, they way we are meant to be. we are finally going to be a family.

COMING: Theresa and Gwen struggle over the disk!
