Theresa left the room…and walked into the hallway…then in front of her was someone who she never thought she'd see again…someone she'd believed to be dead.
"LUIS! Oh MY GOD! YOU'LL ALIVE!" Theresa ran over and jumped into his arms, tears streaming down her cheeks. "But how can this be…you died…we saw your body? Am I dreaming?"
"No Theresa you're not dreaming! That wasn't me…do you remember that mask that Alistair had made of me to try and break Sheridan and me up? Well…that's who was in the coffin!"
"Uhh! I hate that man! But I still can't believe you're alive and well…I've missed you so much… I don't know how I did it without you!"
Ethan, hearing the commotion goes to see what it is.
"Oh my God Luis you're alive! I can't believe this…how is this possible?"
"Winthrop?" Luis just looked at Ethan with disgust. "What do you want? Can't you see I'm here to see my sister? Get the hell away from me!"
Ethan just starring back in shock, Theresa spoke up.
"Luis, what's wrong? Why are you mad at Ethan?"
"You want to know why Theresa…? Cause he broke his promise. That's why I came here first…I knew that he was here…and I wanted to beat the living hell out of him!"
"Luis what promise?"
"The promise that he made to me…that he would protect you…and never try to keep Jane from you!"
"Luis, I can explain---"
"No you can't Ethan…nothing you say can change the fact that you let Theresa marry Alistair…and to the fact that you were planning to take Jane out of the country and let someone else be the mother of Theresa's baby…someone she gave birth of?"
"Ok, wait a minute Luis…I married Alistair all on my own…Ethan tried to stop me but I was too stubborn to listen to him…I was desperate…I wanted my child back…and I wanted Ethan."
"That's right Luis…I begged her not to marry Alistair….but she refused to listen to me."
"Ok…well what about planning to take Jane, THERESA'S daughter out of the damn country?"
"Luis, Gwen and I have custody of Jane, and Theresa was constantly attacking Gwen and torturing her about the fact that she was the one who sent the information about my true paternity to the tabloid…and at the time I was sick of it."
Luis just started to walk over…like he was about to hit him but just said, "Now look here Theresa, the man that was so together about honesty and keeping promises…has broke one…he's betrayed a promise that I trusted him with.
"Luis, its not like that---"
"Yes it is Ethan, ya know, I came here to beat the living crap out of you… but I can clearly see now that you're not even worth it."
Theresa was amazed by what Luis had said…she couldn't remember the last time that anybody had stood up for her like that…not her best friend…not Ethan…not ever her own mother.
"I guess…then…I should leave you two alone…"Ethan looked at Theresa before he turned and Theresa wiped a tear from her eye.
"Luis, that was something…I missed having you around to protect me…now only if Alistair were here…so you could kill him."
"Theresa…that's what came here to talk to you about. How could you get involved with someone like Alistair?"
Starting to cry, "I don't know Luis…why do I ever do the things that I do? I thought he'd get Jane and Ethan back for me."
"Theresa---"
"I know Luis…what was I thinking…Alistair is pure evil…he'd never help me."
"Well, at least you see that now…its just all the horrible things mama's told me…that he's done to you…it makes me sick to my stomach."
"You and me both".
They hug, "You know, I really should go…I haven't seen Sheridan yet…and I want to surprise her."
"Oh…she's going to be so excited…she blamed herself for your death…I can't imagine how happy she's going to be when you walk through that door."
"I know…I can't wait…but could I see Jane before I go…I haven't seen her in a while…you know cause I've been dead and all." They giggle.
"Of course you can…she's in the nursery…and well I think I'm going to go to sleep…today has been exhausting."
"Yea…go have a good night sleep…and maybe I'll see you in the morning."
"Yea…see ya later."
Theresa went back into her room and just plumped on the bed.
Luis came in the room…"Theresa…Jane's not in her room."
Opening her eyes with fear…"What!" Of course she is…I asked Phyllis to watch her…you know maybe she brought her down for something to drink…I'll call.
She dials the maids line…"Yes, this is Theresa…I was looking for Phyllis…have you seen her down stairs……oh…thank you."
"Luis, none of them have seen her…they say the place they've seen her was with Jane in the nursery."
Theresa runs for the nursery, realizing that Jane is gone…Theresa looks through all her drawers and realizes that her things are gone…with a note left inside one of the drawers---from Gwen. It read that she'd taken HER daughter somewhere that she'd never find them again.
'O-O my God….She's taken my baby Luis…She's taken my baby!"
"Who did Theresa?" Theresa handed him the note as Theresa started sobbing uncontrollably.
Ethan heard Theresa crying so he came in to see what was wrong.
He saw Theresa lying on the floor crying and he immediately went to her. "Theresa…what wrong?"
"Et-Ethan…our b-baby is gone! Gwen Stole her again!"
"What?" Luis handed him the note keeping in his rage for him knowing that this wasn't the time or place.
"Oh my God…Theresa I'm sorry…I never should've taken her from you…I never knew that Gwen took this idea of she being her real mother so alive in her head."
"Just get her back!"
Luis heard a noise from the closet and he opened the door only to find Phyllis tied up with tape over her mouth. He untied her and took the tape off her mouth.
"Theresa! Gwen took Jane!"
"I know Phyllis…do you have any idea where she took her…? Theresa asked hoping that gwen had let it slip when she tied up Phyllis.
"Umm…its very foggy…but…umm…I know…she said that she would take her up to the crane cabin for the night until they found a permanent spot."
Oh thank god…we can go there now Ethan…we have to go get out daughter back!"
"Yea…Let's go before they go!"
