Robert and Holly explained to Ethan what was going to happen. That the two of them were going to do whatever they could to make sure she stayed behind bars.
"I'm not worried mum, I know you and Robert will do what you have to do to try to prevent her from getting out." Was Ethan worried? Yes but he knew Holly needed to hear that and honestly he knew they had his back. He was more concerned about what she might do to Seana if she got out.
Holly could see the worry in his eyes, while she was grateful he was trying to make her feel better about it she also just wanted him to know it was okay to be worried. "You know you have every right to be worried, what she did to all of us was evil. It is scary and that's why I will fight like hell to keep her in there." Holly told him, holding his hand in hers.
"Your mother is right Ethan. We won't let her get out of there. Mac is doing what he can too, I know Dante is as well. We will keep her in there." Robert also wanted to reassure him.
Ethan gave a nod, he appreciated them both doing this for him. He realized how lucky he was to have them, they had both put up with a lot from him for years now. "I don't trust anyone else in this world like I do you two. I know you would do anything to protect me and I get it, I'm new to the whole parenting thing but the moment I knew Seana existed I wanted to protect her, I will always want to."
Holly's face lit up, she still couldn't get over the fact that Ethan was a father and that he had taken to it so fast. It reminded her a lot of when Robert first met Robin and hearing his excitement over the phone. "You know you remind me a lot of Robert." She smiled over at Robert.
"It truly does change you." Robert remembered finding Robin then finding out she was his and telling Holly. Even before that he was thinking of adopting her and bringing her home to Holly. A home that Ethan should have had the chance to be a part of. "You know I wish we had gotten to know each other when you were a kid, wish I would have been the first or second person to hold you, felt you kick in your mum's belly."
Holly took Robert's hand. "But now we get to share the rest of our life together and make one of the people who took that from us pay." She knew what was taken from them they couldn't have back but also knew they needed to treasure what they did have, they had a son and a granddaughter and each other. Diane wasn't able to destroy them.
"Mum's right. We have each other now and you two get to help with my daughter." Ethan looked at his parents, knowing they all wished things were different but also like Holly realizing they couldn't go back just go forward.
Robert slightly smiled and nodded. "I once told him he reminded me so much of you and again here he is doing it again." Robert loved that he saw so much of Holly in their son.
Holly smiled lovingly at Robert then at Ethan. "He has a lot of you in him too, I have always thought that."
"You both have told me that. I'm honored." Ethan told them, meaning it sincerely. These two would do anything for him and he knew that.
Robert looked at his watch. "I think we should go ahead and head over there."
Holly nodded, she knew the quicker they got this over with the better. Then they would also know what they are dealing with. She got up and hugged Ethan. "If they release you wait for us please, we will come get you. I love you."
"I will. I love you both. You got this mum." Ethan squeezed Holly's hand, he knew she was worried but he also knew she was going to do her best to make sure they stayed safe.
"Love you. Rest." Robert told Ethan as him and Holly left the room. He took Holly's hand in his. "Let's go do our best to protect our family."
The two of them headed out of the hospital, they got in his car and headed to the courthouse. Holly really hoped she could get them to realize what a danger letting Diane out on bail would be.
