"Theresa, did you hear that"?
"Hear what"?
"The door shut behind Gwen…as in—no longer a threat to us being together?"
"Oh…yeah…I heard that…"
"Why do you sound so disappointed?"
"I'm not disappointed—I 'm just in a bit of a shock".
Ethan walked up to her, pulled are close and pushed back the hair that was in her eyes. "Yeah…I never expected that to happen either. But now we can finally be together…the way you and I have always wanted." Ethan leaned in for a kiss but Theresa turned her head causing him to kiss her cheek.
"I need time."
"What?"
"I-I need a little more time…to uh process this…"
"Theresa…we've been waiting nine months to be together".
"And that means you can wait a little longer…listen…just wait until the morning…I just really need a good nights sleep…and then…maybe who knows what will happen."
Ethan, obviously disappointed was very upset that Theresa and him hadn't made love on that very floor…but why was she doing this…finally when its possible to be together…she turns her back.
---Later that Night---
Theresa goes out to Ethan's room and while he's asleep…she carefully takes a swap and rinses out his mouth with it, puts it in a plastic bag, does the same to little Ethan and sends it to the lab. Now…it would only be 48 hours until the results came back…and she wanted to wait until then before anything happened…but she had to wait 2 whole days…how was she going to keep her hands off Ethan…especially when he was encouraging her to do so.
---The Next Day---
"Good morning" Ethan said with a devious smile on his face.
Nervous…cause she hated that face(it madder her melt). "M-morning".
"Did you sleep well?"
"Very well…you?"
"Well…I had the most wonderful dream…but I hope that it's a prediction of the future" Ethan said in a flirty way.
"Oh…stop it Ethan…you know…I think I'm still kinda tired….I think I'll go back to bed. Theresa said as she got up from the table. Ethan got up as she tried to pass him.
"Theresa…you're going back to bed?"
"Umm…yea…I guess…I never got as good of a night sleep as I though I did." Theresa said pretending to yawn.
"No Theresa, you're avoiding me".
"Why would I do that"?
"You tell me".
"Listen…you're being foolish…I'm just tired….I'll be down later…." She lied…she had every intention of staying out of the mansion for as long as she could…that is until the results came back.
"Fine…but you better". With that Theresa rushed off…somewhere where Ethan wouldn't look for her…but where…maybe she should just get a hotel room…yes that's what she would do…just for a couple days…and then she would be back and everything would be perfect.
Later that day
"Where in the world is Theresa…she can't be asleep still!"
He entered Theresa's room…to find her not here…Phyllis came around the hallway.
"Hey Phyllis…do you know where Theresa is?"
"No Ethan, I saw her leave…but that was early this morning…like around 8."
"Oh…o-ok..thanks…Where the hell are you Theresa? And why are you avoiding me? What are you questioning?
Ethan spent the entire day searching every place Ethan knew that Theresa had been to…but with no luck. He slept that night horribly…with nightmare of Theresa leaving him.
Theresa was becoming very impatient with these results…"one more day"…she kept telling herself…and she fell asleep.
The Next Day
Ethan woke up in a cold sweat…he had a horrible feeling that Theresa just didn't want to be with him anymore…maybe that's why she needed "time"…to break it to him. Well…he wasn't going to let Theresa hold all the cards…he would leave… and only return when Theresa was ready…he wasn't going to beg her anymore…no he would just go! So he did…he left a note for Theresa…telling his location…but that was all…no "I love you or anything…just that he had gone down to LA…at the crane place they'd stayed at a few years ago…Theresa would have to come to him if she wanted to have him…no more games.
"OMG…Ethan is little Ethan's father. How could I not have seen it before…when I think of it now…he's the splitting image of him. Theresa was so excited…she just ran as fast as she could…she wanted to get to Ethan…make love to him…tell him the GREAT news and be that family…their family.
Theresa entered Ethan's room…quietly…she didn't want to wake him yet…she wanted to surprise him…she slowly made her way over to his bed…and realized that he wasn't there…she turned on the light…and there was a note on his bed…"Oh no…this completely sucks…now I have to go all the way to LA…this blows! I really wanted to do this tonight." So Theresa packed a few things and boarded the jet…it'd be hours before she would arrive…GRR…but that wasn't going to stop her from getting Ethan.
