They arrive at the Crane cabin. Gwen's car is still there.
"E-Ethan…Gwen's car is here…that means she hasn't left yet!"
"I know, I know. But Theresa, keep your voice down…you don't want Gwen to hear you…
"Right, of course not." She whispers.
"Maybe I should go in first, and try to talk to her".
"Y-Yea…that's a good idea."
Ethan went inside Faking it he said, "Gwen…thank God I found you…I've been worried sick!"
"Ethan! I'm so glad you're here! Can you believe that Theresa was trying to take Ashlee----I mean Jane from…me? Gwen said in the heat of the moment and tried to cover it up but she knew that Ethan had heard her.
"What? Gwen did you just say Ashlee?"
"Ethan…what are you talking about? Of course not!"
"Gwen I heard you…do you think that Jane is Ashlee?"
"No---wait a minute…how did you know that I was here? It must have been that old maid Phyllis…I knew I should've killed her!"
"Gwen what are you saying?"
"Get out Ethan…I will not let you have Ashlee…She's my daughter!"
Theresa, hearing what Gwen is saying goes in.
"THERESA! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE!"
"Gwen, calm down."
"NO I WILL NOT CALM DOWN!...YOU WILL NOT TAKE MY DAUGHTER FROM ME…ASHLEE IS STAYING WITH ME!"
"Gwen, we need to get you help…you have to come with us!"
"No Ethan, I'm not leaving my daughter ever again! I should've known that you would go back to this slut! Even after all that I did to make you mine!"
"Gwen what are you talking about?"
"Oh for the love of God…I don't care anymore…Ethan! I tipped of the tabloids about your true paternity! When both my mother and your mother fell down the stairs…claiming Theresa pushed them down…they really pushed themselves down…When Alistair was raping Theresa one time…I overheard them and I blasted up the music so that you wouldn't hear…but it seems that no matter WHAT I do you ALWAYS seem to go back to her!" Gwen said all of this in one breath when she finally can for air making psychotic breathing noises.
Ethan just stood there in shock. Theresa was also in shock, but only because of the Alistair thing.
"NOW LEAVE ME AND MY ASHLEE ALONE!"
Ethan, not knowing what to do just stood there…in shock that the woman in front of him was the one that betrayed him so many times…and also the woman who thought that her child was still alive.
Theresa walked over to Gwen and got a grip of her shoulders. "Gwen, your child is gone to Heaven…I know it hurts but you've got to understand that you will see her again…when you join her. But this child here…her name is Jane. Gwen you have to grieve over the loss of your children…you can't replace them with another. I can't imagine the pain you're going through…I haven't ever lost a child to death before…and you've lost 2 children. But Gwen you need to pull yourself together…you have to be strong…and maybe someday you'll get a miracle and have a child of your own…and if not…there's always adoption. You can care for those just as if they were their own. But Gwen…you have to accept the fact that your children are gone….
Gwen, crying uncontrollably now…grabbed Theresa's shirt on her shoulders…and what Theresa thought was going to be a punch she was surprised…Gwen pulled her into a hug…
"Remember Gwen, your children will always be in your heart…forever and for always….
Ethan stood back in amazement…he could not believe what he'd just witnessed…the kind words that Theresa spoke to Gwen…even after all the horrible things she had done.
