Summary: Chapter 13: Ethan finds out about all Gwen's secrets as Gwen and Rebecca are arrested. Theresa reunites with her baby son.
Theresa called the Harmony Police and within a matter of minutes, they had arrived. Luis, Sam Bennett, Whitney, Chad and some other policeman all came to see what was going on. Theresa showed them the video and they charge Rebecca and Gwen for kidnapping and other offences. Ethan was shocked to find that Gwen did all this. All this time he had been feeling guilty because he still had feelings for Theresa when Gwen was trying to break them up from the beginning!
"How could you do it, Gwen?" Ethan asked, looking her in the eye.
"I did it for us, darling!" Gwen pleaded.
"Us? You schemed and schemed for us? There is no 'us' any more. And there never will be, Gwen! How could you be so spiteful and horrible? You're lucky I don't hate you for ruining my WHOLE life!" Ethan shouted at her.
"Please don't be like this! For the sake of our baby, don't leave me!" Gwen cried, with tears in her eyes.
"I don't even know if that baby is mine, maybe it's fake! And I'm not leaving you Gwen," Ethan answered. Gwen stopped crying and begins to smile. "You're the one leaving me…for jail!"
"No! We can get a good lawyer and I won't have to go to jail!"
"I don't think so. You need some time to think about what you've done!"
"I'm sorry! I really am! Forgive me!"
"In time I may be able to forgive you, but I don't want to see you again!"
"But how about our baby? It is your baby!"
"I'll come visit the baby. But I can't marry you. Not ever."
And with that, Ethan turned around and walked away, leaving Gwen to be excorted, hand-cuffed, to the police car.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Theresa was so relieved and happy when she saw her baby son again. Luis handed him carefully to her.
"Don't worry, sis, he's fine. The mean guarding him are arrested and we made sure they didn't lay a hand on his head," Luis said comfortingly.
"Oh, thankyou, Luis!" Theresa said, hugging her brother. "Say thankyou to your uncle, Little Ethan."
"He's a cute one, take care of him," Luis said, chuckling.
"I will. I won't ever let him out of my sight again!"
"Don't make promises you can't keep, Theresa. Now that you've got yourself another man, I think you'll have more on your hands!"
Theresa laughs as Fox blushes. "Yeah, I agree."
"Well, I better go. I've got to write up a report. Bye sis, bye baby Ethan!"
"Bye, Luis!" Theresa said, kissing Luis' cheek.
As Luis walked by Fox, he whispered in his ear, "Take care of my sister, Fox…or else."
Fox gulped and nodded. He then turned to Theresa and put an arm around her shoulder.
"See, what did I tell you? Everything was going to be fine and it is," Fox bragged.
"Yeah, yeah, yeah, smart-alec!" Theresa said, giving him a slight punch in the stomach.
"Ow!" Fox cried, pretending to be hurt.
"Oh, I didn't mean to hurt you. Where did I get you? Are you ok?" Theresa asked, really worried.
Fox quickly tilted her chin up and kissed her.
"Hey, you lied! You weren't hurt!" Theresa accused.
"I kissed you, isn't that enough?" Fox asked.
"No. It's not enough. One is never enough." Theresa met Fox's lips into a kiss again, this time more passionate than the first.
"Now you wouldn't want your son to see this when he's so young, now do you?" Fox joked.
"I think he'd be happy to see his mummy happy."
"Is his mummy happy?"
"His mummy is beyond happy. She's feeling great!"
Theresa and Fox smiled. After a long silence just looking into each other's eyes, Theresa broke the serene silence.
"Fox?"
"Hmm?"
"Could you take Little Ethan into his cot? I need to talk to Ethan."
"Oh…Ethan."
"Yeah. I think I need to sort a few things out."
"Ok." I just hope you're not telling him you've chosen him. But that couldn't be right- she was happy with me.
"Thanks."
Theresa kissed Little Ethan good night on the forehead and was about to leave.
"Hey, wait a second, where's my kiss?" Fox asked.
Theresa smiled. She stood on her tippy toes and kissed him on the cheek.
"Better?" Theresa asked.
"The best."
Theresa laughed and turned to talk to Ethan.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Theresa walked over to Ethan, who was sitting on a bench, with his back to her. His elbows were on his thighs and his hands behind his head. Theresa tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and Theresa could see that he was crying.
"Why?" Ethan asked, tears streaming down his cheeks.
Theresa sat down next to him, looking at him sympathetically. It surprised her when he grabbed her into his arms and cried on her shoulder. She hugged him back.
"Shh…don't cry. It's over now."
But it was far from over. The love triangle was still there. Theresa still had to choose between Ethan and Fox. Fox was nice, cute, young, sporty, funny, a good kisser and a fun-loving guy, while Ethan was handsome, manly, strong, sporty, serious, romantic, lovely, had beautiful eyes, was the love of her life and a father-type man. Who was she to choose? Who does she want to spend the rest of her life with?
A/N Hope you like this chapter. More romance coming as Theresa comes to a decision, but will something make her question her decision? Who do you think Theresa will choose? Review and tell me what you think!
