Chapter Twelve

Theresa: Ethan I know what you're going to say.

Ethan: No, I don't think you do.

Theresa: I can't deal with this, not now.

Ethan: Well you are going to listen to me, just this once. Tell me Theresa what in god's name do you think you're doing?

Theresa: I'm getting my family back.

Ethan: So let me get this straight you want Alistair as a husband and a step father for Little Ethan?

Theresa: No, of course not. I want you, I want my daughter, I want our family together with Little Ethan and Jane.

Ethan: You have got to be kidding me. This is just another one of your crazy schemes to get me back? When will you just stop?

Theresa: Never, not until you're back where you belong. With me, Jane, and Little Ethan.

Ethan: No, stop this, stop it now. Don't throw your life away on this monster for the hope of a future with me because it's not going to happen.

Theresa: It will happen one day.

Ethan: No it won't. Theresa what part of I'm a married man don't you get?

Theresa: We should be married and we would have been if...

Ethan: Don't, alright? Not another trip down memory lane, no more whatg ifs, what could have been, nothing. You and I are over, we will never be a couple again, period.

Theresa: You love me, Ethan I know you do.

Ethan: I love my wife and I will never leave her for you.

Theresa: Then I have no reason not to marry Alistair.

Ethan: The man is as evil as they came, he will make your life a living hell.

Theresa: And my life was so perfect before Alistair entered it?

Ethan: Theresa...

Theresa: Ethan do you remember our wedding day?

(Ethan remembers the day he and Theresa almost married four years ago)

(Ethan flashes back to seeing Theresa walking down the aisle towards him and taking her hand)

(Ethan and Theresa smiling at each other exchanging glances)

(end of flashback)

Theresa: You were remembering, weren't you? That day was perfect, we were so happy. Ethan don't you remember how happy we were together?

Ethan: Yes we were until I found out that you lied to me.

Theresa: I know I made my mistakes, but I would never lie to you again. Ethan I've changed, I'm not that insecure little girl anymore.

Ethan: No you're not, you are turning into someone I don't even know.

Theresa: Ethan you know me better than anyone. We can start over, we should be married.

Ethan: Even if I wasn't married to Gwen, I can't be with someone I can't trust.

Theresa: You can trust me.

Ethan: That's the thing I'm not so sure I can. It was not just one lie Theresa, you lied to me over and over again.

Theresa: And I've paid dearly for that, my life was destroyed.

Ethan: Just like you destroyed my life by emailing the tabloids that letter that proved I was Sam's son.

Theresa: I never did that Ethan, you have to believe me.

Ethan: I can't believe you after all you've done and I trust Gwen completely.

Theresa: You are putting your trust in the wrong person.

Ethan: Gwen would never lie to me, she would never do anything to hurt me.

Theresa: How are you so fooled by her?

Ethan: You are the one who keeps playing me for a fool. I always think the best of you then you come up with a crazy scheme like this.

Theresa: You always think the best of me? When? Because I have told you over and over that Gwen and Rebecca were the ones who outed your paternity to the tabloids.

Ethan: Not again, Theresa to even question that Gwen would betray me in the way is just absurd. What would she gain by doing that?

Theresa: How could such a brilliant lawyer be so stupid. Ethan we were getting married, Gwen did it to break us apart so she'd have you for herself.

Ethan: That's ridiculous, Gwen would never do anything like that to me.

Theresa: And I would?

Ethan: We've been through this a million times, it's ancient history. Theresa it doesn't matter anymore.

Theresa: We matter Ethan, our love, our future together. Our family together, Jane, and Little Ethan they matter.

Ethan: Yes Little Ethan does matter which is why you have to put your son first and back out of this so called "marriage" to Alistair.

Theresa: I love both my children and everything I do is for them.

Ethan: You think Alistair will make your life better, he will make it worse. Alistair Crane will making your life a living hell and then he will kill you piece by piece.

Theresa: No he won't, that's your job.

(Theresa walks away from Ethan and towards Alistair)

(Alistair grabs Theresa as Ethan watches and gives him a dirty look)

COMING: Alistair and Theresa marry!
