"Ok, now that you are all here." Ethan said as they all met in the Bennett's living room. "How did it go?" Sam asked. "She is leaving Harmony with Little Ethan and Jane." Paloma tried to leave but Ethan saw her. "Paloma what do you know about this?" Ethan asked. "Theresa told me a while ago that after she got Jane back and exposed all of the secrets that she was leaving Harmony for Porta Arena with the kids." "Why didn't you tell us?" Pilar asked. "Theresa made me swear and I never break my word. She is my sister and her life has been hell. I was trying to help her so her kids could have a great life." "I am Jane's father." Ethan said, "Yes you are and you have been a royal jerk to my sister. She has done nothing but love you and you have treated her like crap. She deserves better then what she has gotten. From you Ethan and all the rest of you. I know of one person that has stood behind Theresa since they met and that is Fox." "I know about the move." Fox said. "I will be taking over the Crane office here and Theresa will be heading the one in Porta Arena." "You both knew?" Ethan said. "Look Theresa is my best friend and I will support her no matter what. Paloma is right. In a way everyone had failed Theresa when all she ever wanted was to be loved by you and have a family. Well Theresa has two kids to think about and that is what she is doing. She has her head out of the clouds and I for one am happy for her. She wants to leave a town that has brought her nothing but pain, but the two best things in her life." "If your future is with Theresa then you have a week to change her mind and we all know Theresa." Paloma said. "If by that time you have changed her mind we'll support you, but if you haven't then we will support Theresa and her move." Fox said. He and Paloma left. Everyone came up with ideas for him to get Theresa to change her mind.

Ethan went over to Theresa the next morning after the agreement arrived. Little Ethan was heading off for school. "Uncle Ethan." He said running up and giving him a hug. "Hey buddy." They hugged. "I play T-ball this afternoon you'll be there right?" "I wouldn't miss it." Little Ethan ran to the waiting car and got in. Theresa stood in the door with Jane. "Dada." Jane said reaching for him. Theresa handed her over and they walked into the living room. "I take it you got the agreement?" Theresa said. "Yes, all seems fair." "Ok, then there shouldn't be any problems." Theresa said picking up some of the kid's things. "But there is." Ethan said setting Jane down in her play pin. "What?" Theresa asked sitting on the couch. "I don't want you to go." Ethan said sitting next to her. "This isn't about what you want Ethan." "Theresa you remember in the garage when we were talking. You said you wanted a to be a stay at home mom, have dinner ready, kids watched and romantic evening in bed?" "Yes, I remember." "Why can't we have it?" "Because it took exposing Gwen to get you to fallow your heart and I shouldn't have had to do it. If you loved me you should have chosen me, but you didn't. You chose to take my children away and have them call another mommy. The only reason you are wanting to be with me is because you see Gwen for what she is and you no longer feel obligated to her." "Theresa I love you." "Ethan I love you too, but the pain of our love has hurt so many and I can't let it happen anymore." "What happened to you Theresa?" "What do you mean?" "Where is the Theresa I know. The fighter, the believer in Fate and it's plan that we belong together." "She was a naive little grl who needed to grow up and think of her babies." "Ok, Little Ethan is like a son to me. I have loved that little boy since we first learned about him. I am the only one that has been a father to him and Jane is ours. We could be a family." "I don't want you to be obligated to us. To make us something we're not." "Theresa never have I felt obligated to you. I want to be with you because of who you are and whar we could be together." "Ethan it isn't enough anymore. I have spent years fighting for you to see Gwen for what she is and trying to hold onto my kids, what I have and us. Then I realized that I couldn't hold onto us because there is no us." "How can you say that?" "Because you chose Gwen." She got up to walk away but he pulled her back down to him. "In my heart I have always chosen you." He kissed her. She fought with everything she had not to give in but when their lips parted and his tongue mingled with hers she was a goner. He moved her on to her back and was on top of her kissing intensely. The fog that took over Theresa brain cleared and she pulled away. "No, I have to be strong." She moved him off and she got up. "Ethan we can't be." She walked over to Jane and picked her up. "Theresa give me the next week to prove to you that we belong and after that if you feel that you and the kids moving to Porta Arena is for the best I will let you go, but if you have any doubt that leaving isn't a good idea then you will stay." Theresa thought about it for a minute and made up her mind. "Fine one week." Ethan smiled. "But don't disappoint me. I put my heart on the line and you break it, I will let Luis have you." "Ok, you wont regret it." He kissed her and Jane giggled.
