Ethan and Theresa smiled into each other as they heard Paloma screams of joy. They turned and saw her smiling and then saw Luis and Sheridan stand up. Sheridan looked happy, then Luis looked like he was ready kill. "We better take this inside before he loses it and scares all of Tia Maria's guest." Theresa said taking his hand and leading them to the others and then into the house. They made it to a conference room and closed the door. "Ok, Luis before you kill us please let me explain." Theresa said. "Explain, you're pregnant and hiding down here in Mexico." "I know this." Theresa said. "I think a baby sounds like a great news." Sheridan said. "But she is just starting college. Theresa how do you plan on taking care of a child and go to school?" "I haven't thought it all through. I just told Ethan. Luis I am so afraid of what this baby means, but I can't make myself not pregnant." Tears were already pouring down her face. "No don't do that." Luis said stepping forward. "don't cry. Why do you always way cry." He pulled her into a hug. "Because I am scared. What is Momma going to say? How am I going to do this?" "It will be fine. Momma is going to be shocked, but she will be happy. Her first Grandchild." "We came down here for another reason." Sheridan said. "What?" Theresa asked straightening up. "Well, we wanted to bring Paloma home to Harmony." "Me? Really?" "Yeah, we thought since I am married to Sheridan and Theresa will be to Ethan that Momma would like to have her two babies at home." "This means I can live there?" "Yes, Paloma." Sheridan said. "I can be there when Theresa has the baby?" "Yes, you can even help me decorate a nursery for her." "I would love this." She hugged Luis. "When will we leave." "In about a week." Luis said. "We are here for a vacation." "A week." Theresa said. "Yes, don't worry, Momma will be happy for you." "Oh, Luis I don't know." "Look we have a week to talk things though so why don't we go eat. I don't know about you guys but I am hungry." Ethan said. "Me too." Theresa said. They a ll headed out to the restaurant. They sat eating, talking and having fun. Paloma left to see all her friends and say goodbye. Sheridan and Luis went off sight seeing, well Ethan and Theresa went for a walk. "Hello Theresa." Katie said. "Hello Katie, Mark. How are you doing." "Great." Mark said. "How are you and the baby today." "Happy, Mark, Katie this is my fiancé Ethan Crane. Ethan this is Mark and Katie." "Nice to meet you. I hear you've been looking out for Theresa and Paloma." "Yes and it is nice to meet you." Katie said. "So, did you come to take Theresa home? Mark asked. "That is the plan. I came down with my Ant Sheridan and her husband Luis to get Theresa and Paloma." "Paloma?" Katie said. "Yes, she is going home with us in a week." Theresa said. "We will miss her." Katie said. "I know, but she belongs with her family in Harmony." Theresa said. "You are absolutely right. Paloma belongs with her mother and siblings." "Momma is going to be so happy to have her home." "And a grandchild." Ethan said. Theresa smiled. "Well we have some errands to run so we will see you later." Katie said. They left sad hearted. "So how about we go down to the beach?" Ethan suggested. "The last time we went to the beach we made this little one here." "Hey the beach is our thing." He said with a laugh. "Ok, but how about we go upstairs and talk. We have a lot of things to go over and I want to get them out of the way." Theresa took his hand without a reply and went upstairs. She sat on the edge of her bed and looked at him. "God you look beautiful." Ethan said sitting next to her. "Thank you but we still need to talk." Ok, so lets talk." They spent hours talking about baby plans, life plans and if they were going to get married. Both wanted to so they decided to get married while they were Mexico. They decided to do it as soon as possible.
"You want to what?" Luis said. "Get married here in Mexico." Theresa said. "That sounds wonderful." Tia Maria said. "Momma would kill you then me." Luis said. "No she would kill me, then bring me back from the dead to kill me again because you are pregnant." Theresa laughed. "Then she would go after Ethan, then Sheridan." "Not me I am carrying one of her grandchildren." Sheridan said. "What?" Luis said. "I was trying to find a way to tell you." "We're having a baby?" Luis said. She shook her head yes. "That sounds so wonderful." Tia Maria said. "So, are we planning a wedding or what?" Ethan said. "I guess." Luis said. "But you will be the first to die." They all laughed and went about getting things ready. Tai Maria, Paloma, Katie, Sheridan and Theresa went about getting all the flowers and decorations ready. Ethan, Luis and Mark went to get tuxes. All was planned for a wedding for the next day. The girls spent the night making sure all was ready. Theresa and Sheridan had fallen asleep in the garden so Ethan and Luis carried them up to their beds. Ethan laid Theresa gently on the bed and moved the hair that had fallen over her face. "I love you my soon to be wife." "I love you my soon t5o be husband." She pulled him into a kiss. "Theresa you need to get your sleep." "Will you stay with us until we fall asleep?" "Yes." He laid down and wrapped himself around her. She snuggled into him and fell asleep and peacefully dreaming about the next day. She was going to finally become Mrs. Ethan Crane. She was going to have his baby and they would be the family neither ever had. A mommy and a daddy to love and be there for him or her for life. A perfect family.
So a wedding, two babies on the way and a trip back home. What will Pilar say? What will the Crane's say? Will Ethan tell the truth or continue to be a Crane? Stay tuned.
Please tell me what you think.
