So Theresa and the girls went home a week later. Sheridan and Pilar arranged a small welcome home party, however the news got wind of the girls going home and they showed up to try and get pictures and comments on the up coming trial of the girl's kidnappers. Sam and Luis had to have officers clear the way just so they could get around the car and get the girls. Once they enter the gate around the yard of the house they were clear to move into the house were the guest were waiting. It was the Bennett's, the Russell's The Crane's and the Lopez-Fitzgerald's. All the gifts from the baby shower were there. They didn't get a chance to open them because Theresa went into labor. Theresa and Ethan let everyone hold the girls while they opened the presents. They got tons of clothes, toys and things to help out with both girls. A few hours later all left except for Sheridan and Luis. Theresa laid the girls down in their cribs and sat next to Ethan. "Theresa you have two beautiful girls." Sheridan said. "Thanks. I did good work didn't I?" "What about me?" Ethan said. Sheridan and Theresa laughed. "I suppose you played a small part in it." Theresa said. "Just a small part." Ethan said. "Well I carried them for nine months, I gave birth to them and I am the one feeding them every four hours and will be for the next several months." "Ok so your part is way larger then mine, but I still had a large part in there creations. Without me they wouldn't be here." "True." Theresa said. "So Sheridan are you looking forward to have your daughter?" Ethan asked. "I am excited, but not ready for the pain." "Go for the epidural. Trust me it works miracles. I waited for the longest before I had one and I am glad I did." "I am going for one. I saw you before the drugs and you seemed to be on a lot of pain. But after you looked much more happy." "I was." Theresa said with a laugh. "So, on a different note?" Luis said. "You know Gwen and Rebecca's trial is Monday right?" "How can we forget." Theresa said getting up to pick up Nicole who had just started fussing. "I am trying to talk Theresa oput of going." Ethan said. "it wont work and don't you even try and help him." She said pointing at Luis as she sat. "Momma and Ivy said they would watch the girls so we can go. I want to be there." "I think you should." Sheridan said. "That girl has done some horrible things and she needs to pay and you have every right to face her." "I have to agree with Sheridan/" Luis said. "Gwen should have to answer to you and Theresa. I know your concern Ethan, but Theresa is their mom and right now she and you are their voices." "I guess you are right, I just don't want anymore stress put on anyone." "Well as soon as they are locked away the stress will be gone and we can look forward to my niece and living a happy life." Theresa said.
Monday morning Pilar and Ivy showed up to watch the girls. Theresa left a good supply of milk for the girls and left with Ethan. They arrived and meet Luis and Sheridan outside the courtroom. "Theresa are you ready for this?" Luis asked. "As ready as I will ever be." They walked in as Gwen and Rebecca were lead from the back in cuffs. "I don't want her here. She stole my babies." Gwen started screaming. Her lawyer calmed her but Gwen insisted that she was the girl's mother and Theresa was hurting them. The whole trial was that way. Gwen lawyers even tired to get the jury to sympathize with her, but it was a no go. Gwen and Rebecca were found guilty and sentenced to fifteen years per charge. Each received thirty years and were token away. Theresa felt that they deserved death but was happy she wouldn't have to see them for thirty years. As they went to leave the courtroom Sheridan's water broke.
A baby on the way and a truth still to come out. Will it be what you expected? Stay tuned.
