Theresa looked at Eve waiting to here who the father of her son was.
"Ethan's DNA matched Kale's. Ethan you are Kale's father." Eve said. "I will give you two some time I need to get the blood mixture going." Eve left.
Theresa and Ethan sat there in silence for a few minutes. There always remembered that night because it was the one night that she truly felt special to anyone. Ethan searched his mind for the space where he his it. The memory of making love to such a beautiful creature. Ah there it was. All the memories of that night seemed to flow back into his head.
"Why did you leave that night?" Ethan asked.
"Because I thought what we did was careless." Theresa said standing up and walking to the window.
"I searched for you. I asked everyone about you, but you seemed to disappear."
"Ethan if I had any clue that you were Kale's father I would have found you and told you."
"I know, but Theresa we have to decide what we are going to do now."
"I don't know. I can't take Kale away from you, but you have your own life. A wife who has gone off the deep end and tried to kill your son."
"Theresa you know if you would have stayed that night I never would've married Gwen. I was in Rome to get away. I need to figure out if being with Gwen was what I wanted but then I met you and I saw myself being happy with you for a long time. We shared that night of wild hot passion and I knew I could do that every night."
Ethan got up and moved towards her. Theresa turned around and faced him.
"Are paths crossed and now they cross again. Ethan we have both moved one, we both have our lives and---"
Before she could say anything else Ethan closed the gap between them and kissed her. Theresa tried to fight at first but this weird passion seemed to take her over and she gave into his kiss. Here hands wrapped around his neck pulling him closer. As much as they didn't want to they pulled apart.
"Ethan you are married."
"I don't want to be."
They were standing face to face. "But you are and you took vows in front of God and you family. I can not ask you to break them." "Theresa that night that we spent together I promised that one day I would find you, and that night I bound myself to you. God knows that you are the only one I want to be with."
"Ethan, I think we need time. Right now we need to focus on Kale and getting him better and explaining to our families what happened."
"Ok, but Theresa I ant to be with you and nothing will ever change that." Ethan kissed her and then pulled her into a hug. They left Eve's office and walked back to where everyone was waiting.
"You ready?" Ethan asked.
"You ready to be father?" Theresa asked.
"Yes, I am." Ethan said looking at her.
"Me too."
They took deep breaths and walked in. Their families seemed to take the news ok. There were a lot of questions and Ethan and Theresa tried to answer them the best they could.
They got a break when Dr. Ross showed up to tell them Kale survived the operation and would be fine. Ethan and Theresa got to go back and see him. He was still asleep but Eve was there to being him more of his treatment.
"Your son will be ok. He excepted the first treatment and is doing better." Eve said.
"How long until he wakes?" Ethan asked.
"It should be soon." Eve said leaving.
Ethan and Theresa sat by his crib. He looked so small in there. Ethan beeper started to go off so he left to deal with Gwen. Pilar and Ivy made their way back.
"So he's my grandson?" Ivy said touching his little hand.
"Yep, so that makes you a grandma." Pilar joked with her. "We'll come up with a name for me that doesn't imply grandma." Ivy said.
Theresa watched as the to bickered off their grandson.
"Mamma, I need to go take care of something, stay with Kale." Theresa kissed her mother's cheek and left.
"Luis I need to see Gwen."
"Ok, I'll take you." Luis said getting up.
"I'll go too." Sheridan said.
"Ok, hold on. Excuse me, ok Kale made it out of surgery so I thank you all for staying, praying and being here, but please go home. Be with your loved one." Theresa said.
"I'll get them to go." Martin said.
Theresa, Sheridan and Luis left.
They arrived and saw Ethan dealing with some things with Sam.
"Sam, Theresa would like to see Gwen." Luis said.
"Ok, Mr. Crane was just on his way down." Sam said.
"We can go together." Ethan said. He took Theresa's hand and they went down to see Gwen. Gwen was lying on her bed in a ball.
"Got visitors Crane." The female guard said.
Gwen jumped off her bed and went to see who. Ethan and Theresa walked in.
"Ethan thank God you are here. You have to get me out of her. I am a Crane I don't belong here." Gwen said pleading.
"I am sorry I can't help you." Ethan said.
"But I am your wife and you are my lawyer." Gwen said.
"And the boy you tried to kill is my son." Ethan said.
"What we don't have kids. I can't have kids." Gwen said confused. "We don't, but I do. Kale is my son with Theresa." Ethan said. "What, you slept with Theresa?" Gwen asked.
"Yes, one night in Rome. Theresa and I met and we made wild passion love for hours creating Kale." Ethan said.
"You BITCH Ethan is mine you can't have him." Gwen snapped yelling at Theresa. "He is mime you dirty rotten husband stealing witch."
"I didn't steal Ethan." Theresa said.
"She's right, when Theresa and I where together, you and I weren't. We were separated and I wasn't sure if I wanted to be with you. I met Theresa and I knew she was the one I had been searching for, for years, but as she came into my life like a light she left too. But I promised God that night that I would bound myself to her and her alone."
"But you married me?" Gwen said. "Yes after I couldn't find Theresa I came home and was pressured into marring you. I didn't want to." Ethan said.
Gwen looked shocked and began to walk back to her bed.
"Mother said this would happen. She said I would lose you if I don't get that brat out of the way. Oh, God I am losing everything to the house keepers daughter." Gwen laid on her bed in a ball.
They now knew why Gwen tried to kill Kale.
"Ethan I want to leave." Theresa said.
"Ok, but one sec."
Ethan took his wedding ring off and threw it in the trash. He took Theresa hand and they left.
