She shock her head from her thoughts when she heard yelling. Afraid it would wake Kale Theresa jumped from her bed and went to see what was going on. Ethan to heard it all. He sent a maid in to watch over Kale while he and Theresa went down to investigate. They reached the foyer and the yelling got louder. They saw in the living room, all in night ware except the yellers. Ivy, Julian, Sheridan, Luis, Gwen and some women with flaming red hair.
"What is going on?" Ethan asked. Gwen turned eyes wide with shock. "Mother that slut is sleeping with my husband." Gwen yelled. "Oh there, there Gwennie. Ethan wouldn't cheat on you. She must have been trying to seduce him." Rebecca said. "Mother?" Gwen yelled. "Stop yelling you'll wake Kale up and he needs his rest after what you did to him." Ivy said. "How do you even know he is Ethan's son?" Gwen asked. "A DNA test proved that fact." Ivy said. "Seven proved it." Julian said. Everyone turned and looked at him. "I wanted to make sure so I send samples to all the DNA labs in Massachusetts and they all came back the same. There for Kale is the Crane Heir." "So Theresa's son gets everything Crane?" Rebecca said. "Yes." Julian said. Gwen and Rebecca pouted. Upstairs you could here a toddler waking from the yelling. They crying came closer as the maid ran down the stairs with the child. "Men in the house. Trying to take young Kale from his bed." Phyllis said. Luis and Ethan ran upstairs and Theresa took a screaming child from Phyllis. She quickly calmed him. Crane security was called as was the HPD. Sam and several other officers arrived. Ethan and Luis caught the guys and they were brought in. Kale clung to Theresa for dear life. They men were identified as Edgar and Hector Bones. Local hands for hire. They quickly turned on their buyers. Rebecca and Gwen were in hot water. Sam happily hauled all four off to jail. Gwen left screaming that revenge would be hers.
Theresa was freaked and wanted to go back to her parents so Ethan took her and Kale over. Martin and Pilar were up doing late wedding things when they came in.
"Theresa what is going on?" Pilar asked.
"Rebecca Gwen's mother got her out on bail. Then then decided to try and kidnap Kale. They caused a distraction while two men entered his room. Phyllis was in there while Theresa and I went to check on the yelling. Phyllis ran down carrying Kale. He was screaming. Luis and I got the men and they turned on Rebecca and Gwen. All for are in jail but Theresa felt it better that we bring Kale home." Ethan said.
"Well, why don't Martin and I take Kale up to his bed while you and Theresa have some tea to calm down?"
"Thanks momma." Theresa said and she hands a sleeping Kale over. Pilar and Martin made their way upstairs with Kale. Theresa and Ethan walked into the kitchen. She sat while Ethan got water on. It was quiet as Ethan and Theresa sat waiting for the water to boil.
"Why would they want to hurt my son?" Theresa finally asked.
"Because Kale is my son too and they knew he was bound inherit all things Crane." Ethan said.
"I don't want are son to live in danger. Maybe after the wedding tomorrow Kale and I should move back to Paris and forget we ever came to Harmony." Theresa said rubbing her eyes with her fist.
Ethan was in shock. He hadn't endured years of hell to lose the one women he really loved and his son.
:Theresa you can't go back to Paris. Harmony is your home." Ethan said.
"I know you would miss Kale but you can see him when ever. But as long as you and I are together we can never find peace. Gwen and Rebecca will find a way to hurt our son and I have to protect him, I am his mother." The kettle started to steam so Theresa got up and dealt with everything.
They sat with tea in silence for awhile.
"What if I move to Paris with you and Kale. Away from Gwen and Rebecca?" Ethan suggested.
"We would still be together and that would be reason enough for them to come after Kale. Ethan I am not thinking this way to hurt you. I would never. I am thinking my son is three years out and he almost dies, he was almost kidnapped." Theresa said looking him in the eyes. "The time we had together was amazing and gave us a son. But the future we want to plan can't be. It seems like a fading dream now." Theresa drank the last of her tea. "I am going to check on Kale, you want to come?"
"Yeah." Ethan said sad.
They place their cups in the sink and went up. Kale was curled up in his bed fast asleep.
"Looks like an angel." Theresa said.
"I wish you wouldn't go." Ethan said.
"Ethan I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but for now we need to sleep. It will be day soon." Theresa said ending with a yawn.
"Maybe I should go." Ethan said,
"No, stay here with us." Theresa said.
She led him over to the bed where they fell asleep in each others arms.
What will tomorrow bring? Is a new beginning in store for Ethan, Theresa and Kale? Will they get a happily ever after? Plus Luis and Sheridan's wedding.
