Charity was quickly helped into the family car, which had been returned an hour earlier. Miguel sped along the road to the hospital, his hands shaking in nervousness. Theresa tried to keep both of them calm by telling them both to breathe in and out. After all, she had been in labour before too.

When they had arrived at the hospital, Charity was quickly taken upstairs to the labour room, followed closely behind by Miguel. Theresa and Little Ethan chose to wait on the seats outside the room to wait for the others to come. It didn't take long before Pilar, Sam, Grace, Luis, Sheridan and Ethan arrived.

"We limited the people who wanted to come so it wouldn't crowd the hospital," Sam explained, breathing heavily.

"Thank you," Theresa replied. "Charity and Miguel are in there."

"Oh please, God, let the babies and the mother be ok," Pilar prayed.

"They'll be fine, Pilar," Sheridan reassured her, hugging her.

Theresa was surprised to see Ethan there. I wonder how he found out about Charity. She walked over to him.

"Hey Ethan, what are you doing here?" Theresa asked curiously yet couldn't help but smile.

"I was visiting Sheridan and Luis at their cottage when Pilar called about Charity being in labour and I thought I might come to…to…" Ethan stumbled on his words.

"To what?" Theresa asked, smiling and stepping closer to him.

Ethan suddenly felt the temperature in the room had risen 100ºC. "To keep you company."

Theresa giggled at his shyness. "That's sweet. I don't see why you couldn't just say it."

"Well, I didn't think you'd want my company after…"

"After what, Ethan?" Theresa asked, not knowing what he was getting on to. He can't possibly know about…

"Fox called me this morning. He told me about last night," Ethan answered, avoiding her gaze.

"Oh. I was going to tell you but-"

"It's ok. I understand. You've chosen who you want to be with and I'd respect that," Ethan said quickly.

"No, you don't understand, Ethan," Theresa replied, moving him away from the group of people. "I haven't chosen anyone. I've just realised I love Fox too. I love both of you."

"Really?" Ethan asked, a glimmer of hope in his eyes.

"Yes, I love you so much, Ethan. But I'm not sure who I want to spend the rest of my life with yet," Theresa told him, looking into his eyes.

"I love you too," Ethan said. He leaned over for their lips to meet in a kiss. She responded quickly and leaned forward. They closed their eyes as their lips fused together in a passionate kiss. Ethan's hands caressed Theresa's back and Theresa ran her hand in his hair.

A person's voice interrupted their kiss. They abruptly broke away from each other. It was Pilar.

"Charity- Oh," Pilar looked away, feeling a little uncomfortable seeing her daughter in another man's arms. What's with Theresa lately? She swaps between Fox and Ethan. She stays out all night, probably sleeping around with them. She could get pregnant AGAIN! "Charity's had the first baby," Pilar continued what she had started.

Theresa and Ethan smiled. "That's great!" Theresa squealed.

"We're not sure if the boy was the first one to be born or the girl but he or she will be let out soon," Pilar finished and then leaving them.

Theresa turned to Ethan. "Isn't it great? I'm officially an aunty!"

Ethan laughed at her excessive excitement. "That means you're getting old!" He joked.

Theresa poked her tongue out at him and pretended to be offended.

Ethan kissed her cheek and smiled. "But you'll always be as beautiful as the day I first laid my eyes on you."

Theresa blushed. Then she exclaimed, "I think it's the girl who was the firstborn!"

"No, I think it's a boy!" Ethan contradicted.

"Yeah? Well, let's make a bet. I bet it's a girl," Theresa said, feeling confident in her answer.

"Ohhh…a bet hey? What does the winner get?" Ethan asked, grinning.

"Anything the winner wants," Theresa whispered sexily in Ethan's ear.

Ethan gulped nervously. Boy, is that a good prize. "D-deal," Ethan replied.

"Well, then, let's seal this deal with a kiss," Theresa suggested.

"Fine by me," Ethan agreed, pulling her closer to him for their lips to greet one another once more. Their tongues explored each other's mouths. Ethan could smell Theresa's sweet shampoo. Ethan wanted the kiss to last longer but Theresa pulled away, smiling.

"I think that's enough for now, don't you think? Let's go and find the answer and see who wins the bet!" Theresa insisted, grabbing his hand and heading back to where the others were.

They headed back to where everyone was waiting nervously and happily. Sam and Grace were talking civilly. Sheridan was in Luis' arms and Pilar was pacing around, carrying Ethan Martin in her arms. When Ethan and Theresa got back, they could hear Sheridan talking.

"Charity and Miguel are so lucky. I wish I was pregnant," Sheridan said glumly.

Luis kissed her on the forehead and gave her an encouraging smile. "We will have a child."

They could also hear Grace's voice close to Luis and Sheridan.

"Our baby would've been so cute today if I had never lost it," Grace commented, a tear dropping down to the ground.

Sam took her into his muscly arms and she cried into his chest. "I'm so sorry, Grace."

"Me too. I haven't been too nice to you lately. I wish we could turn back time and have had the baby."

"I know we're getting a bit old but…maybe we could try, you know, to have one," Sam suggested.

Grace looked up at him. She saw the love and compassion in his eyes. The she nodded and kissed him.

Theresa looked at Ethan. "Everyone wants to be pregnant," Theresa quietly said to Ethan.

"Yeah, I know what you mean," he replied, looking at the two couples. I, myself, wouldn't mind a little kid around either.

"Including me."

"What?" Ethan asked, shocked at her sudden comment.

"I mean, when I gave birth to Ethan Martin, he was the most beautiful and cutest baby. I held him in my arms and when he looked back at me, I saw so much unconditional love and trust in his eyes. He made me smile and he was the reason I had to fight. Now I wish I could hold a little baby of mine in my arms again," Theresa wished.

"Yeah, when I found out Gwen had lost our baby, I couldn't help but feel a big sense of loss. I mean, the baby wouldn't have had a healthy family but it deserved to live and be loved by someone. I never even got to see him/her."

"I guess everyone in this room wants to have a baby…well, besides mama and Ethan Martin!" Theresa said, sighing.

"I wonder what's taking so long."

"Charity and Miguel probably want the baby with them until she has given birth to the boy."

"The second baby is the girl!" Ethan answered.

"Yeah whatever."
