Theresa settled her kids in for the night and went down to try and eat something. Ethan left to get his things from the B&B where he and Gwen were staying. She didn't know how it was going to go, but she knew soon everything would hit the fan.
"Ethan I thought you would be back hours ago." Gwen said. "I thought Jane was coming back. I wanted to read her a story before bed."
"No, Theresa wanted Jane with her tonight." Ethan said.
"Just like Theresa. Takes my daughter when I want her here. I don't know what possessed you to give her custody and let you have unlimited visitation. Jane belongs here with us."
"Jane is Theresa's daughter and she wanted her kids with her. There is nothing wrong with that. We had her for a few days now Theresa wants her back at home in her bed."
"She has a bed here Ethan. I am her mother and you are her father. She is our baby and belongs here."
"Gwen stop. We've been over this. Jane is Theresa daughter. She is her mother, mommy, mamma, mom. Not you. Yes Jane is my daughter and I want her to be happy. She love being with her mom. You are Aunt Gwen."
"How could you say such things to me." Gwen said sitting down on the bed.
"Because I am tired of telling you this over and over again. Jane isn't our baby. She is my and Theresa's baby and she's not the baby anymore." Ethan said.
Gwen looked up at him in confusion.
"What?"
"Theresa and I are having another baby. She's pregnant and I am moving in with her to help take care of the kids while she is pregnant."
"You're leaving me for her?" Gwen asked standing up.
"Yes. Theresa needs me and I will be there for her." Ethan said.
He moved over to the closet and pulled out and suit case. He started packing as Gwen stood in shock.
"So you cheated on me with Theresa, you got her pregnant with your child and now your leaving me?"
"Yes Gwen. Come on we knew this was coming. I know the last few months have mellowed out, but that happened after Theresa and I slept together. This is my child with Theresa and this is the family I have always wanted and needed."
"I can't believe you. We took vows Ethan."
"I know, but I vowed to love and stand by Theresa and I have failed to do that. I know what I must do now." Ethan said closing his suit case.
"So you are giving u8p on everything we can have for Theresa?"
"Gwen you know I have been in love with Theresa for ages and I have to do what is best for my kids."
"If you think you are going to go off and be some happy family with Theresa you have another thing coming." Gwen said picking up her phone.
"You will stay away from Theresa and our family. You come near her I will destroy you." Ethan said firmly and then left.
He was putting his suit case in his car when Sam found him.
"What's going on? Gwen called and Ivy started fuming." Sam asked coming up.
"I am leaving Gwen." Ethan said. "Theresa and I our having another baby and I have finally admitted that I love her and that my life is with her and the kids."
"Well I knew this day would come. If you are happy I support you." Sam said clapping his shoulder,
"Thanks dad. I should get going. I told Theresa I would be back soon. But tell mom she tried anything she will never see me or her grandchildren again ever."
"I will tell her. Go be with your family." Sam said and Ethan left.
Sam walked back to his house and saw Gwen, Ivy and Rebecca in the living room. Bowing his head he went in.
"What are you doing?" Sam asked coming in.
"Talking. Gwen has a broken heart." Ivy said.
"Well just incase you three are planning anything, I should tell you that Ethan has made it clear that if you try anything to hurt Theresa, her unborn baby, him or Little Ethan or Jane he will never let you see him or the kids again."
"Ethan isn't in his right mind." Ivy said. "He left his wife…."
"For the women he loves. Face it you three have tried everything I am sure to keep them apart and it isn't working. Ethan and Theresa share a love that has last through out time. Just leave it and move on. Come on Gwen don't you want some one who loves you and just you?"
"Ethan did until Theresa came into our lives." Gwen said.
"I have know Theresa all of her life. She and Noah along with Whitney were best friends. Theresa didn't put some magical spell on Ethan. Ethan fell in love with her and has never stopped loving her. Gwen find a man that will love you and only you. It isn't Ethan. And Ivy, don't piss out son off. He doesn't need that stress and neither does Theresa. She is pregnant with our grandchild after all."
He left hoping beyond hope the would take his words to heart.
Ethan arrived at Theresa's house, grabbed his suit case and walk in. Theresa was sitting on the couch watching the fire and sipping on cocoa. Ethan set his suit case down and sat beside her.
"So?" Theresa asked.
"I told, Gwen, who told my mom. My dad also knows. I am sure Gwen called her mom as well."
"Well this was your idea." Theresa said. "Are you sure you want to give up everything you have for me."
"I am sure." Ethan said.
He wrapped his arm around her and they knew that as long as they were together they could face any odds that life threw them.
Ethan and Theresa settle into life with different ideas in mind.Gwen wants answers and life as everyone know it will change when the discovery of Little Ethan's real father. Stay tuned. Chantel
