Summary: Chapter 27: Theresa spends the morning catching up with Miguel, Antonio, Charity and Pilar after a night of sleep. What has happened to them these years? Also Theresa receives great news! *Finally updated* R&R!

Theresa woke up the next morning to the whines and pushes from Ethan Martin. He was already awake and had ventured outside where Pilar made breakfast for him. Now he was back, determined to get his sleeping beauty of a mother woken up.

"Mmm…Ethan Martin…" Theresa groaned.

"Mummy! Wake up!" Little Ethan insisted.

Theresa reluctantly opened her eyes and stretched. "Ok, ok! Mama's awake!"

She sat up in bed and looked at her darling son. "You're dressed already," she commented, looking at the green t-shirt and jeans he was wearing.

He nodded and pointed outside.

"Grandma dressed you, hey?" Theresa smiled.

Again, he nodded and gave one of his cute, trademark smiles.

Theresa got out of bed and got dressed into a short, spaghetti strap dress. She then washed her face and brushed her hair into a ponytail. She then walked outside into the kitchen where she saw Charity, Miguel, Antonio and Pilar sitting at the dining table. Everyone in the room smiled at Theresa when they saw her. She smiled back and then went to hug Antonio.

"I didn't see you last night!" Theresa exclaimed, kissing her brother on the cheek.

"Mama didn't want to wake me up and I was in a deep sleep. She should've woken me up. I wouldn't have missed my sister coming home for anything!" Antonio said certain.

Theresa smiled at Antonio. "Thank you, Tony. I love you!"

"Love you too, Resa."

Theresa felt awkward about asking Antonio this but she really needed to know. "How's your…your-?"

"Me? I'm fine! The doctor's least expected t but I'm cured. I'm still tired sometimes but I'm recovering." [A/N I don't know what sickness Antonio has on the show but he's going to live on this fic! Thanks.]

Theresa couldn't help but cry for her brother. "That's great!" She hugged her brother again.

After awhile, Pilar explained, "Little Ethan woke up really early this morning. Luckily I was awake. He ate breakfast first and then I changed him. He's grown so much in these few years!"

"Yeah, I know what you mean!" Theresa replied, laughing.

"Theresa, sit down. There's some eggs and bacon here, eat!" Miguel demanded, smiling at his sister.

"Yes sir!" Theresa saluted and then sat down. She began to eat and talk to her family at the same time.

She told them about her growing career and they told her about their lives. She learnt that Kay had given birth to a stillborn baby and they grieved about that for weeks. Even though the pregnancy was an accident, it had been Miguel's baby and he was greatly upset about the news. He had finally overcome it when Charity told him she was pregnant two months later. Kay was really upset too but her family helped her through that tough time.

"Kay must've been really upset. Poor girl!" Theresa said.

"Yeah but she's a brave girl," Miguel said.

"And John will be there for her. He's a great boyfriend to her," Charity added.

"John and her are together?" Theresa asked, surprised.

"Yeah, after everyone found out David and Ivy had planned all that stuff about him being married to Grace, John and Kay bonded and soon fell in love," Miguel explained.

"Wow! That's great. Kay deserves someone like John."

Then Theresa's mobile began to ring. "Oh, excuse me everyone," she apologised and got up to answer the phone.

She hurried to her bedside table and picked it up.

"Hello, Theresa speaking."

"Hey, Theresa! It's me, Jake. It's just been confirmed Julia Roberts is wearing your tight, backless, purple dress to the Golden Globes. She was really impressed with that dress and told us just then that she would like to wear it! Congratulations!"

"Oh my! Oh! That's great! Thank you! I can't wait to see her in that dress! It was one of my favourites! This is great. Thank my design team and staff for me, ok?"

"Yep, will do! Oh and have fun in Harmony!"

"I will! This is perfect! I've got to tell my family! Bye!" Theresa squealed excitedly.

"Bye!"

Theresa hung up and scrambled back to her family who were waiting for her. She couldn't keep still and couldn't help but wear a huge smile across her face. Her family was just looking at her curiously.

"Julia Roberts is wearing one of my dresses to the Golden Globes!" Theresa shouted happily.

"Oh, that's great, Theresita!" Pilar complimented and gave her daughter a hug.

"Yeah, I'm really proud of you," Antonio said, hugging her too.

"Us too!" Miguel and Charity said together. Theresa laughed.

"Thank you!"

Little Ethan ran to his mother and nagged for a hug too. Theresa giggled and picked him up and hugged him tightly. He gave a smile and she kissed him. She was so happy. She had achieved one of her goals in her career. This was the beginning of a growing career! Theresa felt blessed that she had such a wonderful family and such a blossoming career.
