"What are you doing here?" Theresa demanded.
"Ethan is my son"
"And he wants nothing to do with you." Theresa said. "Make them leave"
"You see here. Ethan is my son and I am not going anywhere." Ivy stated. "Look, Ethan does have a restraining order." Sam said. "Why Don't you three go wait over there and stay away from Theresa." Eve came out.
"Good Theresa you are here. Ethan has woken up and he is looking for you." Eve said. "Is there something I should know about?" Theresa asked. "We are running test. We wont know anything until they come back." "Ok, I am going to go in and see him."
Theresa walked into the room and saw Ethan laying on the bed looking out the window. She walked up and placed a soft kiss on his lips.
"Hey there." Theresa said.
'I was wondering when you were going to come in. You weren't out there arguing with my parents"
"No, I just got here. Sam and Luis picked me up." Theresa said looking at him.
"I am fine Theresa. I am just glad you are here."
Theresa took her coat off and he saw her belly.
"Wow, you're pregnant?"
"Of course I am Ethan. This is our second daughter." Theresa said sitting down.
"We have another daughter?"
"Ok, you are scaring me here. We have two children and this is our third. Ethan what is your name"
"Ethan Crane, silly."
"What year is it?"
"2001"
"Ok, Ethan why don't you close your eyes and get some sleep and I will go talk with Eve."
"Aren't you going to tell me why you are pregnant and we have even slept together and why we have two other kids"
"Look, let me talk with Eve then I will answer any questions you may have."
"Ok, but don't take to long."
"I wont."
She kissed him and watched him close his eyes and then left.
"How is he?" Sam asked.
"He thinks it's 2001and that we are just engaged and married."
"Well his brain scan shows a blow to the head. It could've called amnesia. I will run some more test."
"He knows something is wrong." Theresa said.
"Theresa you are his wife and you must tell him what you think is best"
"He has three children and a life. I have to tell him."
"Do you want us there?" Luis asked.
"No Luis. I have to do this."
Theresa hugged him and went back inside.
"Hey sleep head you fell better?" Theresa asked sitting down.
"A have a slight headache"
"Eve said you hit your head. She also said you have amnesia."
"Are you telling me I have forgotten part of my life?"
"Yes, we didn't get married back when we first planned too. Ethan you found out you weren't a Crane and it looked like I spilled the secret, but I didn't"
"I am not Julian son"
"No your father is Sam Bennett. It is a long story and I think he deserves the right to tell you."
"We get along?"
"Oh, yes, like father and son from birth"
"Ok what else"
Theresa launched into their tale. Ethan asked questions along the way and when she finished she took out some pictures and showed him.
"This is the family we have always wanted." Ethan said.
"I know and this is the family we have. EJ, Jane this baby and us. Yes the years have been full of differences, but we made it back to each other and we have an amazing family"
"Theresa, I am not going to leave you. I fell this family in my heart and nothing you say or anything else anyone says will change that. I may not remember the last some what odd and strange years but I know the love I have for you."
Ethan pulled Theresa to him and they kissed passionately.
"I love you so much." Theresa said when they parted.
'Me too." Ethan said licking his lips.
"Why Don't I have Sam come in and talk with you. I will call mama and check on the kids and see what Dr. Russell has figured out"
"Ok."
Theresa gave him one last kiss and left the room.
"Ok, I told him everything. Sam I save the story about you being his father for you. I thought it would be better coming from you."
"Ok," Sam said.
"He knows of recent events as well."
"Ok, I will go talk with him." Sam said and walked inside.
Theresa walked over to Luis.
"Is that mama?" Theresa asked.
"Yeah, do you want to talk to her?"
"Yes, please."
Luis handed over the phone.
"Mama, can you keep the kids tonight and maybe tomorrow"
"Yes, I will send Martin to gather some of their things"
"Thanks mama?"
"Theresa Luis told me. What is going to happen?"
"We are a family mama. Ethan wants it and that is what we have."
"Ok, give him my love."
"I will bye mama."
She hung up and Luis pulled her into his arms.
"It is going to be ok."
"I know. Luis what happened?"
"A drunk driver came out of nowhere. We have him at the station. We are going to make sure he goes away fro a long time."
"Thank you. Oh Dr. Russell are those his results"
"Yes, It looks like amnesia. Not permanent"
"Ok, well he knows everything he has missed."
"Well, that is good. Ethan can go home in a few hours. There is nothing wring besides the amnesia."
"Ok, I will tell him when Sam and Ethan are done talking."
"Good, I will let you know." Eve smiled and walked away.
"Theresa how is Ethan?" Ivy asked coming up.
"Eve said he will be ok." Theresa said.
"Can I see him?"
"You are his mother and no mother should have worry about their child. Sam is in there so go in." Theresa said calmly.
"Thank you."
Ivy walked in but was quickly turned away. Sam came out afterwards laughing.
"How is he?" Theresa asked.
"Good, we talked. We laughed when Ivy came in."
"Well she asked and I didn't want a scene." Theresa asked. "I am going to go in and see how he is doing. Sam I was nice to let them stay, but will you have them leave now"
"Yes." Sam said.
Luis and Sam walked over and Theresa went into see Ethan.
"So, Dr. Russell says you are lucky. You can leave in a few hours."
"Good, I can't wait to get to my home."
"Our house is full of love. Mama is keeping Little Ethan and Jane. You'll need some sleep and rest."
"Ok, dad said something about you owning everything Crane"
"I do. That is part of they story I Haven't told you."
"Ok, well I need to know."
Theresa sat down and told him the whole dirty story. She was in tears by the end and shaking.
"I had no idea." Ethan said.
He went to hug her and Theresa stood up and walked to the window.
"It has taken me so long to be able to be with you. What Alistair did was horrible. But you showed me someone could love me and not hurt me. You made me a promise the first night we were together after you left Gwen"
"What was that?"
"That you would never hurt me again."
"I hold that promise still. I regret hurting you in the first place. And Theresa I will never do it again."
Ethan moved over and wrapped his arms around her.
"I love you Theresa."
"I love you too."
Eve came in se3veral hours later and released Ethan. Sam and Luis drove them home. Theresa was tired so was Ethan so they said a quick goodbye and went up to bed.
Ivy, Rebecca and Gwen made it back to the B&B. Ivy decided she needed a long soaking in the bath. She headed up and started the bath. Rebecca poured her and Gwen a class of gin and they sat down to brain storm.
"Mom, Ethan doesn't remember Sarah or Nathan. That little witch stole that bond from us." Gwen said.
"Well we'll have to find a way to show Ethan what that little taco snatcher is really like." Rebecca said.
"What about the restraining orders"
"Oh, please. I few get Ethan away from Theresa's clutches, then he will listen"
Wanting a drink while she soaks Ivy left the tub filling and made her way down stairs.
"Gwen, know one knows it was us who exposed Ethan in the tabloid. What got him to believe it was Theresa for years, and with his current state we can get him again."
"Mother, what if Ethan realizes it was us when we try and convince him it was Theresa"
"If that happens we can always make sure is amnesia is permanent"
"Mother, I love Ethan."
"Gwen do you want Ethan away from Tacosita or not"
" I want that bitch to pay, but I want my kids back. "
"We can always make Theresa disappear."
"We tired mother. Many times. Killing Theresa wont take away my pain. I want Theresa to see me raise Ethan's kids."
Ivy couldn't believe what she was over hearing. Theresa truly was the good girl and Gwen was the evil one. Ivy listened as they continued to plot them made her way up to plan to foil them.
What are Gwen and Rebecca planning? How will Ivy stop them? Will Ethan get his memory back? What happens when Theresa goes into premature labor? Stay tuned. Chantel
