Ethan walked into Theresa's bedroom. He picked up a picture of he and Theresa and he began to cry. He knelt down by her desk full of pictures of their family and he buried his face in his hands.
Theresa, why did you get on that plane? Why did you leave me? Why did you not have faith in me?
She always did, you just never had faith in her, you idiot! But I did I swear, I was just afraid of her!
Afraid? Yeah…I was afraid. She brought me into this world where everything was different, a place I was scared to enter. I saw a new light and I saw everything differently because of her. I used to be so selfish and self-absorbed but when showed me what life was all about…I couldn't handle it…it was refreshing yet frightening. I guess I didn't want life to be so adventurous.
But that's crazy! I never once turned my back on her!
No? What about when it was revealed that she was the one who sent the email to the tabloid. You knew in your heart of hearts that she would never do anything to hurt you! She loved you and thought ONLY of you!
Well there's no use talking about the past because the past is just that—the past.
About ten minutes later Ethan saw that his cell phone flashing. He picked it up still numb. It was a message, so he put it on speaker and laid on his bed to listen to it. He closed his eyes and waited for it to start.
"Hey, Ethan, its me…" Ethan jolted up and quickly put his attention toward the phone.
"I just boarded the plane—that is so not how I wanted things to end between us. I feel so terrible…I can't leave like this…this isn't right. I love you…and I want to be with you. I have to get off this plane! Excuse me, miss, I need to get off this plane! No miss, you cannot get off the plane now, the pilot is ready for take-off. NO you don't understand—I have to get off!"
Ethan started screaming at the phone.
"Please miss…I have to get off—" The message cut out because the time was up.
"Theresa, why didn't you get off the plane? Why?"
"(Sigh) I got off the plane!"
Ethan turned around and Theresa was standing in the doorway with her suitcases in hand.
"Theresa…" Ethan breathed. He started walking toward her but halfway there she ran and jumped into his arms, wrapping her legs around him.
"Ethan…" Theresa began to slide down from Ethan's grip; she touched the floor with her feet.
Ethan blinked several times to make sure he wasn't dreaming and what he was seeing was actually true. He pulled the strands of hair from her face and no sooner was it, he brushed his lips against hers. It was tender, gentle, and passionate all at the same time.
Theresa slowly pulled away to catch her breath,"Mmm." Theresa said.
"I-I can't believe you're here! I thought you were gone…"
"Nope…I'm here…and here is where I'm staying." After those magic words Ethan pulled her into a enormously passionate kiss, but a few minutes they were interrupted.
"EWW!" Little Ethan had walked in on them kissing.
"Oh…little Ethan. Theresa said, nervously. W-Why aren't you in bed?"
"Because I thought I heard you…"
"Yes you did!"
"Are you and daddy Ethan getting back together?"
Ethan and Theresa looked at each other and smiled.
"Umm—" Theresa said but Ethan interrupted her.
"Yes, my man…we are…you, mommy, Jane and I are going to be a family."
"YAY!" Little Ethan ran and jumped into Ethan's arms.
Outside bedroom door
"That's what you think!" And the figure walked away.
"Little Ethan…can you do mommy a favor? Can you go back to your room…daddy Ethan and I have…have some things we need to discuss."
"Uh huh…sure…" Little Ethan knew they wanted to be alone. So he left and closed the door behind him.
"So…"
"So…Did you mean what you said?"
"What?"
"Did you mean what you said about us being a family?"
Ethan pulled her close to him. "Yes, I did…every part."
"Really?"
"Uh huh…Theresa you're my whole world and I can't believe what kind of idiot I was being before today."
"Tell me about it!" Theresa said with a mocking grin.
"Hey…" Ethan exclaimed.
"Ok…well…why don't we talk about this later?" Theresa leaned in to kiss him…with all his force Ethan pulled away.
"No, no, no! Nuh uh. Not yet". Ethan said jokingly.
"What? No…c'mon Ethan…we can "talk" tomorrow."
"No, we can't!"
"Okay…well then what do you suggest we talk about right now, hmm?"
"Everything! And its not just now…we're going to talk until we're blue in the faces about EVERYTHING! Deal?"
"Fine…deal."
They both sat on the bed in respectable distance so no one would be tempted. They talked, the entire night until about six in the morning. Theresa confessed that she was the one who stopped his plans of getting a job in Alaska and that she had arranged for the papers to show up on their wedding day. Ethan didn't even care…he was actually sorry that Gwen hadn't called off the wedding.
They eventually fell asleep in each other's arms. During the morning, around eight, little Ethan hopped in the middle of the two and fell asleep with them.
