Gwen snuck to the floor in tears. No one tried to comfort her.
"How did this happen?" Gwen asked herself.
Ivy and Sam over heard her.
"Because you were selfish and hateful." Ivy said. "I know I am not the biggest fan of Theresa, but she had loved my son with all of her heart and she has only done what was best for him"
"Bit Ethan and I were in love long before she came into his life." Gwen said standing up.
"If that was true, my son would of chosen you when he had the first decision to make between you to and the second. Yes Ethan married you, but his heart belonged to Theresa and everyone knew that. I think you did in a way, you just didn't want to see it." Sam said.
"But our family. Jane needs her dad."
"Jane had her mom and dad." Sam said. Ethan will never walk away from her, Little Ethan or Theresa."
"But Jane is my daughter." Gwen said. "They can't take her. She needs me. I am her mother"
Pilar and Martin were walking by.
"You were never Jane's mother or mom. Theresa was." Pilar said.
"No Jane knows me. She loves me. I am here mom." Gwen said.
"I think you need some help. This reality your living in has got you confused." Martin said. "I will pray you get help."
Pilar, Martin, Ivy and Sam left. Soon everyone was gone and Gwen was left alone. She looked around and no one came to her side. She left and wondered around town.
Theresa and Ethan went home and told Little Ethan the good news and he was so happy. Jane joined them in celebrating a family they should have been long ago. The rest of the family came home and the party continued until all the kids were asleep. Miguel and Charity took, Maria, Jane, Little Ethan and Marty up to bed.
Pilar and Martin went right after wards. Sheridan., Luis, Miguel, Charity, Ethan and Theresa all sat in the living room drinking hot chocolate and talking.
"I never thought Gwen would do something like that." Sheridan.
"Then your saying Theresa would?" Luis said.
"No, I am saying it is uncharacteristic of Gwen. I still see her as the sweet young lady that came to Harmony with Ethan."
"Sheridan I understand" Theresa said. "But look at what Beth did." Theresa said.
"All I know is I see Gwen for how she is and I hope some day Theresa will forgive me for all these years of doubt." Ethan said.
"Well you have a lot of making up to do, but I think I can arrange forgiveness in time." Theresa said.
"Well I will do whatever I have to and you know I mean what I am saying." Ethan said kissing her cheek.
"So, are you divorcing Gwen?" Miguel asked.
"As soon as I can. I can't believe I fell for all her lies." Ethan said.
"You believed in her. You needed to believe in someone after the truth about you and Sam came out." Theresa said.
"You are to understanding. You know that." Ethan said.
"We have to children together and life is going in our favor now so I can be." Theresa said.
"Well it is late and we have work tomorrow so goodnight." Charity said.
"Speaking of work we still have our jobs right." Miguel asked.
"Yes, I own Crane Industries. Alistair I guess knew of Little Ethan and Ethan connection and he still left him everything. Fox and I made sure before we told everyone." Theresa said. "So yes work starts at nine sharp."
"Ok, well then good night." Miguel said and they were off to bed. Sheridan and Luis fallowed hearing Marty and another nightmare.
Ethan and Theresa cleaned up and sat in the living room. Gwen had made her way to Theresa's house and was looking in at them.
"I should go." Ethan said getting up to leave. Theresa stood up fast.
"Please don't." Theresa said. Ethan turned and looked at her.
"Theresa you have to be sure about this. I am still married to Gwen." Ethan said. Theresa walked over and turned the stereo on. A song they danced to long ago came on.
"Dance with me." Theresa requested.
Ethan took Theresa into his arms and they danced in her living room.
"Ethan from the moment you told me you loved me, I knew that God knew that. We promised ourselves to each other long ago in front of him and those are the vows I hold." Theresa said.
"I love you Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald." Ethan said picking her up and spinning her.
"I love you too, Ethan Winthrop." They kissed.
"Let's go to bed, we have work in the morning." Theresa said turning the stereo off.
"We?" Ethan said.
"Yes, now that you are free you can come help me run Crane. You still know it better and I would love to have you there with me." Theresa said. "Plus it is your sons future and I want it to be the best."
"Are we going to buy Jane her own company?" Ethan asked.
"We might if this years profits keep getting better." Theresa said.
"The business world better watch out Theresa is on the prowl." Ethan said.
Theresa laughed and took Ethan hand and they went upstairs.
Gwen looked at the dark living room wondering how this could of happened. This was supposed to be her life. She was to have all on her side, Ethan and the kids. Yet here she was alone, barren, and poor.
More to come, chantel,
