A/N: Sorry that its been a while since I have updated but I started a new story and I have been sick. I will be gone for 4 days but should have another chapter posted as soon as I return.

Chapter 11 – Seeing Ethan

(TPOV)

When I woke up I could not believe that my love was there standing right beside me. I said "You are not a dream. Oh Ethan I love you. I need you." I heard him gasp as tears filled his eyes. All I could think about was him, our son and the child I carried now. As the accident came back to me and I gasped and my hand went to my stomach. I looked around and noticed that all of my family was here and so were my friends. Eve noticed where my hand was at and said "Theresa, the babies are fine." I looked at her stunned and then I stuttered "The ba-ba-babies? As in more than one?" She nodded her head and smiled.

I looked back at Ethan and he had a huge grin on his face. He leaned down and kissed me tenderly and said "I love you Theresa, I love our son, and I love our two newest babies. I left Gwen and I know you are not the one who told the tabloids. I want to be with you and spend my life with you if you will have me? Can you ever forgive me for what I thought you did?" I looked at him and felt all my love for him grow as I said "Of course I can Ethan. You are my soul mate and now that we are together nothing else matters. I love you, I always have and I always will. I want to go back to Harmony and live with you and our son and our other two kids who are on the way." I never knew Ethan to cry but as I spoke his eyes filled with tears and some fell down his face. I loved him even more now than ever before.

I am so glad that my love has forgiven me. I do not want to live without her. I have missed her for so many years but now we can finally be together and I am so happy. I leaned down and kissed her again and said "As soon as the doctor clears you I will take you home and we will look for a house together. You, our son, and me will choose the house. I love you Theresa and I am so happy that you can forgive me." I looked in her eyes as I was talking and I could see all the love she had for me in her eyes. She just made me the happiest man on earth. I looked over my shoulder and saw our son and said "Son, come and see your mom I know you want too." I heard Theresa gasp because even though she saw a lot of us here he was standing behind Sam.

Little Ethan walked over and hugged Theresa and my heart was about to burst with joy as I saw my son and the love of my life together and both were reaching for me. I leaned in and hugged them both as Little Ethan said "Does this mean we will live together and that Ivy and Sam are my grandparents?" I heard my mom gasp as she thought about that and she walked forward to hug Theresa and then Little Ethan.

I walked towards where Theresa laid in the hospital bed and I leaned down to hug her and then my grandson. After I hugged them I stood up and said "Theresa, I am so sorry for what I have said and what I have done to you. I can see now that you love my son far to much to ever hurt him like that. I hope that you can one day forgive me for everything and we can start over. Welcome to the family. I also want to thank you for giving me the perfect grandson and a couple more grandkids. I can see now why Ethan does love you. You are selfless to the core and you are a great person." I leaned down and kissed her forehead and then walked back to Sam who took me in his arms and whispered in my ear "I'm proud of you Ivy. What you just did was wonderful. Look at Ethan and Theresa." I nodded and looked and saw for the first time how they truly did complete each other. I never noticed that but I do now.

I was happy that Ivy wanted forgiveness and it was something I could give her easily. I was so happy with the man I love and my son and the two babies we now have on the way. I looked at Ethan and said "I'm sorry for leaving the way I did but I thought it would be best. I was going to come back but I just needed time to clear my head. Seeing you daily was killing me. But now that I have you here I am not letting go. You are my world and I love you. Little Ethan, I am sorry that I didn't tell you about Ethan being your father sooner. I just hope that you can forgive me. I love you honey." I looked down at my son and watched a smile spread across his face as he said "Mommy there is nothing to forgive. You gave me the best birthday present ever. I love you." I just remembered that the day I told him was indeed his birthday and I smiled. I am glad that he had seen it that way.

I looked over Ethan's shoulder and saw everyone looking at us and I said "Mama, Luis, Miguel, Antonio, Kay, Fancy, Sharon, Whitney, Chad, Eve, Julian, Sam, and Ivy thank you all for coming. And yes Ivy I can forgive you and we can start over. We are all family and family sticks together. I love you all and I am sorry for everything I have put everyone in this room through. I just hope you all want to be a part of our lives." I looked at them and smiled and everyone nodded happily to me.

I couldn't help but wonder if Gwen was going to be a problem. Even if she was the one who told Ethan everything she wouldn't just let him leave. Oh well I would deal with that when and if the time came. Right now I was just happy being in the arms of the man I love. I looked over at Eve and said "When will they let me go back home?" I saw Eve walked out of the room and then she came back in about five minutes later. I listened to her say "You have to stay in here at least a week and then you can fly back but only in a rented plane and I have to keep a close eye on you. When we get back you need to be in bed in a hospital or at someone's house and hooked up to monitors. Your accident was pretty bad and you need time to heal." I just nodded and smiled. I could deal with all of that as long as I had Ethan and our families with me.
