Summary: Chapter 10: A phone call changes plans for Ethan and Theresa dramatically.

Ok, some people didn't like the last chapter but I worked really hard on it. Besides, I didn't want it to end so quickly and Theresa and Ethan made such a good and cute couple last year! You'll just have to wait and see whom Theresa chooses…but there will be some obstacles they all must tackle before her decision is made. I hope you enjoy it!

Oh and just to make sure no one gets confused in this chapter, mobile phones are the same thing as cell phones.

Gwen looked on in the shadows behind a tree, as Ethan and Theresa were kissing. She thought she was going to explode in anger. She couldn't believe what was happening. She had been suspicious but she didn't expect things to be like this. How did things get so out of hand? I love Ethan and he said he was marrying me! That tramp, Theresa will pay. As tears rolled down Gwen's pale face, she took her mobile phone from her purse and made sure her and mother's plan started right away.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Theresa and Ethan had no idea Gwen was spying on them. All that was in their heads was each other. They didn't ever want their kiss to end but they need to breathe. So they let go, looking into each other's eyes. Theresa didn't know what to think. She had to choose between the two- Ethan or Fox.

On the way driving here, I had made up my mind that the fairytale I had dreamt being with Ethan forever was lost. I had come to a shocking realisation our relationship now can be no more than friendship. But once I got here, once I kissed him, everything changed again. I now realise that this decision is a life-changing one. And I shouldn't force myself to hurry with this important choice. Gosh, who would have thought that the day Ethan had to choose between Gwen and me that we'd reverse roles and I would have to choose between him and his half-brother Fox? Talk about irony! I know now when I look into Ethan's eyes, I haven't stopped loving him. And that's because real love can't just die in a matter of days. I've loved him for so long and I can't just let my feelings for him drift away in a day. I've just been denying that I still love him and the fact that I've fallen in love with another man! I need to get to know Fox more and I need to know if I still love Ethan as much as I used to.

"Theresa?" Ethan asked, a bit worried she hadn't replied yet.

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry, Ethan. I was thinking," Theresa replied.

"About what, darling?"

"You," Theresa said. Well, that is the truth, just not all of it.

"That's great, I was thinking of you too. Now, let's get started on the dinner."

Ethan led her to the large, laid-out rug on the sand. It was filled with delicious food, some noodles from Sally's restaurant, fruit and a bottle of champagne. It was so romantic. They both didn't eat much. They didn't seem hungry…or maybe they were just hungry for each other.

"Well, I'm full!" Ethan said, looking over at Theresa.

"Are you sure? I mean, there's always dessert," Theresa replied, moving closer to Ethan.

"Mm…yum. I'd love dessert!"

Theresa moved closer to Ethan and kissed him. He quickly kissed her back passionately. He let her go.

"Have I told you how incredibly sexy you look tonight?" Ethan asked, smiling.

"No, but thank you. You have great taste!"

Ethan laughed. He kissed her again, slowly pushing Theresa down onto the rug. He started pulling the straps off Theresa's shoulder, while she was unbuttoning his shirt. It's been too long: Theresa and me. Tonight's the night to make it all up. Theresa wriggled out of her dress as she revealed her body to Ethan once again. She was now completely undressed except for the underwear she was still wearing. Just then, Theresa's mobile rang. She struggled to find her purse. Even though she was dizzy from Ethan's touch, she eventually found it. She moaned as Ethan touched a sensitive part of her body. The phone kept ringing.

"Why don't you turn your phone off?" Ethan asked, in between kisses.

"It might be important." So Theresa picked it up and pressed the 'talk' button.

"Hello?" Theresa said, trying to keep a normal voice as Ethan kissed her neck.

"Oh, Theresa, you've finally picked up! You've got to come back to the mansion, quick!" It was Whitney and she sounded worried.

"Oh, w-why? Oh, yeah, ahhh…" Theresa couldn't stand it any longer because Ethan was now kissing her chest area. She accidentally dropped the phone.

"Theresa! Theresa?!" Whitney's muffled voice cried frantically.

Theresa cried out in pleasure. She slowly picked up the phone.

"Uh, hello?"

"Theresa, this is important! You need to come back to the Crane mansion immediately! It's an emergency!" Whitney shouted into the phone.

That got Theresa's attention.

"Ok, ok, I'll be right back. Bye!"

"Oh, hurry, please!"

Theresa put her mobile down on the sand. She then realised she was now fully naked, with Ethan on top of her. He was ready to make love and just wanted her signal.

"Are you ready?" he asked.

"Oh, Ethan, I'd love to-"

Ethan didn't let her finish. He began to make love to her.

"Oh…mm…ah…but Ethan, I need to get home! Oh…"

Ethan froze suddenly.

"Oh…right, ok." Ethan got off of Theresa. He couldn't bear to look at Theresa. She had rejected him and he was really disappointed and upset. He grabbed his clothes and began to put them on.

"No, Ethan, it's not what you think-"

"Here's your dress," he interrupted, handing Theresa her dress.

Theresa knew he was upset and she wanted to comfort him but she knew she had to go home. She took the dress and grabbed her underwear and put them on. Ethan grabbed the picnic equipment and stood, head down, waiting for her. But this time it was eager anticipation, it was sorrow and pain. They walked to their cars. Theresa found her convertible missing. Ethan seemed to know what she was thinking.

"I asked someone to drive it back so you could sit in my car," Ethan said glumly.

"Oh ok."

Ethan unlocked his silver car and he and Theresa got in. When she did, she smelt a beautiful fragrance. She looked at the back of the car and saw many, many flowers: One of every colour and type. It was so sweet. She noticed a card and took it and read it. It said:

I hope you enjoyed and loved last night as much as I did. The pleasure was all mine. J

I also hope it will be a night to remember for the rest of our lives.

Love you lots, Ethan.

A tear fell down Theresa's face as she read that note. Ethan saw her read it.

"I wrote that thinking we'd be here until tomorrow morning."

"I know and that's sweet."

"Ok,"

"And Ethan?"

"Yeah?"

"I love you too." I just hope I was speaking from the heart.

Ethan smiled once again but he felt Theresa wanted to tell him more.

"What is it, Theresa? What else do you want to tell me?"

"Well…"

"Theresa, it's me, you can tell me."

"I'm in love with Fox too."

"What?"

"I love the both of you. I need to choose but I still haven't made up my mind yet. I'm sorry."

"I understand. It happened to me with you and Gwen! Now it's your turn, I guess…Now let's get home."

Ethan and Theresa headed home. Now, that things were all cleared up, they were ready for the news that Whitney was eager to tell them.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Fox, Whitney and the police were waiting on the driveway for Theresa and Ethan to return. Theresa was shocked to find police there. As the car stopped, she unbuckled her seat belt and jumped out of the car. She ran to Fox and Whitney.

"What's going on? Where's my baby?" Theresa asked, getting scared.

Fox looked on sympathetically. Neither Whitney nor him knew what to say.

"Tell me what the heck is going on!" Theresa screamed, tears now raining down her face.

"Oh, Theresa! I left Little Ethan in the room when he was asleep to get a drink and a toilet break. When I got back, he was gone! I'm so sorry!" Whitney explained.

Theresa couldn't believe her ears! Her baby boy was missing! Who could've done this? Theresa began sobbing hysterically. Fox put his arms around her and Theresa grabbed him and cried into his chest.

Damn, man! Fox beat me to it! Well, at the end of the day, Theresa will be my wife, not his. He probably doesn't even want a serious relationship! Ethan's eyes were filled with tears too. Little Ethan was missing and he couldn't do anything. None of them were happy about the news. They were horrified and depressed.

Only one was smiling evilly at the news. She was glad the baby was missing. She congratulated herself for a job well done. There's no doubt who this person was. Yep, you're right- it was Gwen.

A/N Before you kill me for making Theresa love both Fox and Ethan, I want you to know this is my story…and it only gets better! So review and tell me what you think! Thanks to all the reviews! You're the ones that keep me writing more!
