Hey guys this is my first fanfic hope I do alright this is part 1
True Paternity( A Theresa FanFic) part 1
It all started with a sentence " Don't kill her Jaunita , Por Favor she is Carlos daughter ."
My life had been forever changed .
Not only did Juanita not kill me , she spared my family also .
I had been so mad at my Mother , for never telling me , for never telling Martin .
Then I remembered the night I had been raped by Alistair , so ashamed , so alone .
Juanita welcomed me with open arms , adamant at linking herself with the last link in
the world to Carlos , yet her memory of him was tarnished , even blackened just to know
that my Mother had been telling her the truth for so long .
"All is forgiven Pilar " I heard her say "I'm so sorry I should have believed you , you were no you ARE
my best friend in the world" she said crying "Please forgive me "
I remember Mama hugging her and telling her there was nothing to forgive , that Juanita had been so grief stricken
over the death of her family she just wasn't thinking clearly .
Gwen was not a threat anymore , there had been no escaping the truth once Juanita told Ethan how Gwen set out to have
Mama and the rest of the family killed in order to keep her dream of having Ethan to herself .
Ethan had been in shock , first to know that Gwen had been lying to him , and then when I told him that Little Ethan was
his biological child .
"Why didn't you tell me Theresa" Ethan said , with a pained look in his eyes , how I love those eyes and it killed me to know
that I had placed that hurt look there .
I had known about little Ethan for nearly 2 years and never said a word .
Oh I tried alright but something or someone had always gotten in the way of the truth .
First out of fear that Ethan would take my son from me ,next being blackmailed by that horrible Vincent ,then silenced by gwen's threats .
I explained all this to Ethan , once the shock wore off , Ethan was anxious to get back home and to see his son .
His son with me .
Juanita arranged for me to take her private jet along with a couple of her men to keep me safe .
After all I was the daughter of a known Mafia boss .
And then we were off .
Gone from Mexico .
Now I stood in the foyer of the Crane Mansion .
Home .
It had never really felt like a home though .
Just a large power struggle , surrounded by bricks and mortar .
I was here for a reason , and that reason was Alistair .
I was getting a divorce and I didn't care what I had to do to get it.
Nothing and I mean nothing was going to stand in the way of marrying
the father of my children .
I headed for the library intent on either getting those divorce papers
signed or honoring the "til death do us part" clause in my Marriage contract
with that Devil .
" Ah my lovely wife , to what do owe the pleasure of your visit " Alistair said
smugly as he snuffed out his cuban cigar .
If I had forgotten what a bast*rd Alistair was I remembered now .
Sitting in his leather chair , he looked like an overstuffed weasel in Armani .
"There's nothing pleasurable about this visit ,Alistair , I am here with divorce papers ."
I said " Here's a pen sign them "
Alistair chuckled as he moved closer to me "Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald Crane , will you never learn.
Crane men get what we pay for , and I paid for you , you're not going anywhere darling " He said as he moved
even closer to me , reeking of Brandy and cigars , I reached for my gun .
"I recommend you back up ,before I turn you into swiss cheese " I said as I pointed my deringer at his head
"and by the way It's Theresa Lopez-Vasquez Crane Martin Fitzgerald is not my father ."
Alistair laughed , " Are you telling me the sainted Pilar slept around on your father ,my my
maybe I should of sampled some of the mexican fare back in the day , sounds spicy , she's probably
quite the pistol in the sack , not unlike her daughter " He said with that nasty grin that just made me
want to blow his face off . I put the gun to his head
" No you S.O.B she was raped , not unlike her daughter you remember rape right Alistair " I said sternly
" I'm not afraid of you anymore Alistair , you know that paltry amount of power you have ? "
" It's nothing compared to the power in my fathers estate !! I could blow you way right now and nobody would ever
question it , I could just make a call , and every charge would disappear , a world without the Great Alistair Crane !!
Sounds like heaven "
Alistair stared at me a little unbelieving " You are bluffing "
I smiled " Bluffing , huh ? Are you willing to risk your whole life to
find out " I call out to the hallway " Boys , I could use your assistance in here"
Two men in black suits enter the room " Yes Ms.Lopez-Vasquez " the younger gentleman asks .
"Ah , yes Rico , Pedro I believe Mr. Crane needs a little pursuading to come around to my point
of view " I smile and bat my eyelashes .
he says "Yes, Ms. Lopez-Vasquez whatever you wish "
I leave the room just as I hear Alistair crying out ,
"Theresa, Theresa you can't do this to me I'm a Crane "
Smiling I walk down the corridor , wedding plans on my mind .
part 3
Ethan walked into the Crane Mansion still a bit stunned from
all the excitement in Mexico , bags in hand , he wondered where
Theresa had disappeared to she was at the car when they had pulled up
but all of a sudden she vanished .
" She has the bodygaurds I'm sure she's safe " He thought aloud .
Just then she came around the corner .
"Have you seen Little Ethan yet ?" She asked
" Not yet" He said , " Where did you go anyways ?"
He asked " I just had to take care of some Crane business ,
tie up some loose ends , don't worry " she said .
Ethan kissed her , he couldn't believe he had spent so much time
without her . " I always worry , trouble seems to follow you and I
can't have my life without you in it anymore " He said .
She kissed him again , life had never felt so right she was in those arms
that she longed to have hold her . " Promise me you will never let me go "
she said " Never " Ethan said " I will never let you go "
" Now let's go see that son of ours , I can't wait anymore"
She smiled " C'mon you've waited long enough "
Little Ethan was sitting in his room waiting for a surprise
at least he thought it must be a surprise his Nanny had left
out his best clothes , and told him that somebody was coming
to see him , someone special .
So he sat there waiting , he played a little on his laptop
but had gotten bored , he guessed he was more anxious than
anything .
"ahem" Ethan cleared his throat to get Little Ethan's attention .
" Somebody told me there was a special guy waiting in here for me,
you wouldn't have any idea who that is would you ?"
Theresa was standing there misty eyed , knowing what was coming next.
" Uncle Ethan!!" Little Ethan , ran towards Ethan , only to be stopped
dead in his tracks .
Ethan looked at Little Ethan with a serious look and said " I refuse
to hug you until you call me by my proper name ! " Little Ethan looked at
him confused , and then looked at his mother who by this time had full fledged
tears running down her face " He knows " she said to Little Ethan .
Little Ethan him tightly and said " Daddy , you're my daddy and I promide to never call you Uncle Ethan
again " Ethan hugged his boy so hard , he feared that if he let him go
he would wake up and this would all be a dream .He had hugged him a million times
But
this was the best one ever .
He was hugging his son .
Part 4
Gwen Winthrop heard a knock at the door .
Every knock she heard the last couple days would cause her to jump up .
Not because she was scared , but because she had hoped that Ethan would forgive her .
In the back of her mind she knew better , but one could always hope .
" Oh Ethan I knew you would come back to me " she said when she opened the door and saw her
husband standing there .
" I'm only here to deliver the divorce papers Gwen , and to see Jonathan ."
Ethan said " Please don't speak to me and waste my time "
Gwen opened the envelope , knowing full well that these papers were the end of her life with
Ethan , she was however pleasantly surprised to read that Ethan and Theresa weren't
fighting her for custody of Jonathan .
" I was absolutely sure you were going to take jonathan away from me ,have me declared an
unfit mother" Gwen replied "Why didn't you , you had every reason to take him from me"
"You can thank Theresa for that Gwen , I wanted to take Jonathan from you , but she said
no , she couldn't do that to you , that she knew it would kill you " Ethan laughed
"It's funny because I can't see a reason why she wouldn't want you dead "
" Tell her I said Thank You " Gwen looked at the floor realizing she had just said two
words that were toatlly out of character for her lately .
"Theresa doesn't want your thanks Gwen , she justs wants you to stay out of our lives "
Ethan stated " Don't use our son to get close to me anymore it wont work , stay away
from me , and stay away from Theresa and our children "
"I will help with Jonathan , but I don't want to see you again , I will have a nanny
come by to get Jonathan on the weekends but you and I are over , Forever!!"
Jonathan cried and Ethan went over to the crib and picked him up and rocked him ."I
just want you to know little guy how much I love you " he kissed him on the forehead
"Daddy's got to go now , but I will see you soon " He laid him back down in the crib
He turned to Gwen " I mean it Gwen Forever, I never want to see you again " He walked
to the door opened and closed it and never looked back .
Gwen ran to the door " Ethan no!!" she opened it , but he was already gone .
She collapsed into tears on the floor .
" I love you " she cried "Forever"
Part 5
Alistair was laid up at Harmony hospital , black and blue , and bloodied .
The nurse enters the room .
" Those thugs sure worked you over didn't they old boy "
Alistair was weak and couldn't do much more than moan .
"ohhhhhhh " Alistair said .
She pats his arm "Don't speak don't waste your energy .
" I'm just here to give you your pain medication , I will have you
feeling no pain in no time ."
Alistair , liked this woman , it's true she wasn't his normal type of woman .
She was older closer to his own age , hispanic definately, with a head full of white hair.
She looked as though she had stared death in the face and lived to tell about it .
Despite his injuries he couldn't help being attracted to her .
She removed a bottle of clear liquid and a fresh needle from her nurses uniform .
She drew out the medicine and inserted it into his I.V .port .
"There you go , thats right sleep , you take a nice long nap "
She smiled " If you need anything my name is Juanita , I'll be more than happy
to take care of you "
The nurse left the room .
Alistair felt a pain in his chest , he clutched at himself .
"Am I having a heart attack" He thought to himself .
Buzzers were ringing , but Alistairs world was going black .
The doctors tried chest compressions , they tried using the paddles .
But to no avail , Alistair Crane was dead , for real this time , with
the dead body to prove it .
There would not be any coming back this time .
Juanita stood out in the hallway , patting her pocket .
" Thats right , take a nice long nap , a dirt nap Alistair! "
Part 6
Pilar had just arrived home from her long trip and was putting
away her suitcases when Luis and Fancy came in .
" Mama are you here ?" He yelled out .
" I'm in here Mijo in the living room " she replied .
" Hello Mijo , hello Fancy " she kissed and hugged them .
"What a lovely surprise "
" Well we have an even bigger surprise for you Mama " Luis said.
Luis and Fancy were bursting with excitement they could barely
contain themselves .
" Well don't keep me waiting " Pilar said "What has gotten you
so excited ."
Fancy pulled her hand from behind her back and flashed a ring ,
"Luis and I are getting Married !!" Fancy Said with a smile that
was brighter than the diamond on her finger .
" Oh Mijo , I'm so happy for you both " She hugged them
"So when am I going to get some grandchildren from you two !"
she said .
" One thing at a time Mama " Luis said "Why don't you let us get
down the aisle first "
"Don't worry Pilar we'll give you plenty soon enough" Fancy said .
About that time was when they heard a knock on the door .
Pilar opened the door it was Juanita , " Oh Juanita , mi amiga
come in " said Pilar " I thought you were coming next week .
" I was " said Juanita , " But then I got to thinking I really didn't
get to spend any time with you in Mexico and I really want to make up
for lost time . I have a room at the bed and breakfast "
" No I will not hear of it , my oldest friend is going to stay here with me "
Pilar said " I have plenty of room " " Juanita you remember my son Luis and this
is his fiancee Fancy "
"Oh Fancy , what a pretty name " Juanita said as she shook Fancys hand .
" My grandfather Alistair named me " Fancy said with a tone of slight anger in her voice .
" Would that be Alistair Crane ?" Juanita said .
" Yes " fancy said looking somewhat puzzled " do you know him "
" Doesn't everyone" Juanita said remembering the look of shock on the old mans face an
hour earlier as he lay dying " I heard he got mugged or something like that "
"Yes a couple of days ago on the Wharf , they found him beaten up on the docks "
Fancy said " I can't say I'm surprised couldn't of happened to a nicer guy " Fancy said
with an air of sarcasm .
" Well , I hope he's not in a lot of pain " Juanita said .
Just then Fancy's phone rang it was her father Julian " Hello Father , what's going on ?"
" Come to the hospital Fancy " Julian said on the other end of the line " Your Grandfather
is dead "
" I'll be there soon " Fancy said and hung up .
" Well I guess he's not in any pain , he's dead "
part 7
Sheridan arrived at the hospital to meet Julian .
He has called her and told her father was dead ,
and she had to come and make sure for herself .
now she saw him standing at the end of the corridor .
"Is the ba*stard really dead " she said , " Yes Sheridan
he's really dead I was the first one here , Eve called me"
Julian said " He's definitely gone this time"
"Forgive me if I don't believe you " Sheridan said , " He's been dead before you know"
" He is dead " Eve interupted " If you want to see I'll take you to the morgue myself"
" Thank you darling " Said Julian " You must understand that we must see it with our own eyes "
Fancy runs to her father " Is it true , could he really be dead?"
"Yes dear you can come with your Aunt and I to see for yourself " Julian replied .
" Let's go , I want to make sure that demon is gone once and for all "
Eve led them down the corridor onto the elevator and down to the morgue , once there she opened
up the refrigerated drawer bearing Alistair's name and drew back the sheet .
"See he's right here , dead as a doornail " said Eve .
" Looking isn't good enough for me " Said Sheridan " Me either " said Fancy .
Sheridan went up near Alistairs face looking for the edges of a mask , just in case Alistair
pulled a fast one to fake his death . "hmmm... no mask " said Sheridan
Fancy pulled the decorative pin off of her shirt , and stuck the object right through the old mans
foot " He's dead all right " said fancy
"Fancy , my God what are you doing ?" eve said
"I'm sorry Eve I had to make sure he was dead instead of some drug induced death like sleep "
"Eve please check his DNA against mine I want to make sure it is my father " said Julian
"I will Julian " said Eve .
" I've seen enough" said Sheridan " can we get out of here ?"
Eve closed the drawer " Good riddance" she said .
"Let's get out of here"
It had been a long day for Sheridan Crane .
She had waited for hours in the hospital
while Eve put a rush on the DNA test .
All she could remember was Eve saying
"It's Alistair it could not be anyone else the old ba*tard is finally dead !"
All she wanted to do now is hold the love of her life .
He walked into the room " Hi baby , whats wrong you look so tired ?" he said
"Father is dead " Sheridan said " Nothing is wrong , as a matter of fact everything is
right ,especially now that I'm here with you " She smiled , she loved him so much
at first she hated him ,even despised him , but it didn't take her long before she realized
that they were kindred spirits .
Soulmates .
Yes she would always have a special place in her heart for Luis , because he was Marty's father ,
but she realized she had been fighting a losing battle and found love with a new man .
he was snapping his fingers " hey you yoohoo babe wher'd you go , I lost you for a second there
it was like you were in another world " he said .
She smiled at him then kissed him " You could never lose me , I love you Spike " she said " I love you
too Sher Sher "
Part 8
Alistairs funeral was a large hateful affair , not unlike the old mans life .
Most people who came just came there to make sure the old ba*tard was dead .
There were no men asking if they could be a pawbearer .
There was no widow , no tears of sadness , only tears of joy .
No they were all there for one thing , to watch Alistair Cranes coffin being
lowered into the ground ,in fact the only honor they all wanted was to be the first
to shovel dirt into his grave .
After the funeral friends and family were invited to a viewing of Alistair Cranes
will .
The room was oddly silent , the lawyer came in and inserted a videotape into the player .
On the screen was an image of Alistair Crane .
" If you are watching this then I am dead " said Alistair " and all my friends and family "
said sarcastically"Have attended my funeral "
"This is my last will and testament "
" I Alistair Crane being of sound mind , leave my entire esate , and all of my assets
to Gwen Hotchkiss Winthrop and her son , my heir Jonathan ."
All eyes in the room were on Gwen Winthrop who was in absolute shock .
Jonathan was Ethans son!! What was Alistair doing?
Everybody watched the video again , wondering what the hel1 Alistair was talking about .
Alistair said "A few months before Gwen left town , I had my men apprehend her they gave
her a drug most commonly known as the "date rape drug" Jonathan is the product of invitro-
fertilization "
" I recommend you get it checked out Ms. Hotchkiss "
"Jonathan is a Crane and you will not touch a dime of my money
until he is named such "
"As for the rest of you have fun being poor "
And then the tape was over .
Reporters flocked to Gwen as she exited the building .
"Did you have any idea"They said "What are you going to do Ms. Hotchkiss?"
said another , Yet another said "Are you going to raise your son as a Crane?"
Gwen felt as if she were drowning , she didn't know what to do .
It felt as if she were being pulled in a million directions
So she ran , as fast as she could .
She stopped running when she didn't see anymore reporters .
" I've lost my last link to Ethan " she said to herself .
Then she came to a realization , she was Alistairs heirs mother .
His SOLE heir .
She had the power to do whatever she wanted .
She got up and brushed herself, off with every intention to do just that .
Life was going to get better starting now .
For her and Jonathan .
Part 9
Theresa was packing her belongings and leaving the Crane mansion
when she sensed someone was watching her .
"Glad to see your getting out of my house " said Gwen .
"Thats fine " said Theresa "I'll just settle for taking your man "
"Then again he never really was YOUR man , now was he Gwen "
" It's okay Theresa , have your fun " Gwen said
"Eve is running the DNA and genetic testing as we speak and soon , I will be rich
and powerful and there will be nothing you can do to stop me "
"Great " Theresa said " Can't wait for you not to be linked to Ethan anymore "
"You and Alistairs little ba*tard can rot in the Crane mansion forever"
"I guess you'll bring new meaning to the phrase Rich B1tch " she laughed .
" I don't need Alistair to be powerful anyways remember?"
"Ethan and I will be fine Gwen , and night after night we will make love in our bed
in our house , and our children will grow up knowing they have two wonderful parents
I really do feel bad for your child though , having a b1tch and a ba$tard like you and Alistair for parents "
Gwen tried to slap Theresa but her efforts were thwarted by the two behemouth bodygaurds who accompanied her .
"Fine , I'm leaving " said Gwen " Just get your stuff and get the he11 out of my house "
Theresa smiled it just felt so good to finally get even .
Gwens phone rang
"Hello " said Gwen
"Hello" said Eve " I've finished the testing and I need you to come to the hospital right away "
"Is there a problem ?" said Gwen
"I can't speak to you about it over the phone " said Eve "Please come soon "
"I'm on my way " said Gwen
Gwen raced to the hospital "What is going on now ?" she said to herself .
she made it there in record time , and was met in Eves office ,by Eve and a whole office of people .
"Eve who are all these people and what the he11 is going on ?"said Gwen
Eve motioned towards the chair " I think you need to sit down , you are in for quite a shock "
"Just tell me Eve what is wrong with my son , and who are these people?"
"Ok , Gwen these people are from the government , they are here because I called them " said Eve
" I did the DNA test on Jonathan and compared it to Alistairs DNA and they were exactly the same "
"That means he's Alistairs son right" said Gwen
" No he's not Alistairs son , he's not your son either "said Eve
"Excuse me! did you just say my child is not my son how can that be possible"said Gwen
" Jonathan is not Alistairs son because he is technically Alistair himself "said Eve
" He is a clone Gwen , Alistair cloned himself and used you as a host "
"These people are here to speak to you Gwen "
Gwen looked at these people in their sterile white coats and was suddenly very afraid for her childs safety .
" Maam my name is Agent Millen and I'm with the genetic studies group section of the F.B.I " the man said
"What do you have to do with my child ?" Gwen said
"I'm afraid the child is going to have to come with us Maam " the man said
" No I will not let you take him ! " Gwen said
"We already have him Maam " the man said "Please don't make this harder than it has to be "
"The child needs to be in a hospital setting Maam , you don't understand the kind of problems
he could have , he will be better off "
Just then Gwen saw a woman in a white coat pass the office window holding her son
" No!" she screamed " I will not let you take him !" " She was running behind the woman now
"Jonathan , Mommy loves you , I won't let them hurt you Jonathan !!"
Two of the men in white coats grabbed her and gave Gwen a sedative .
Gwen started to feel the effects " no you can't take my son , I wont let you "
and then she passed out .
Jonathan was gone and there was nothing she could do about it.
Part 10
Theresa and Ethan were in bed when they received an urgent call from
Alistairs lawyer .
" I need to see you right away " he said "your whole future depends on it "
It was now an hour later and they were sitting in Tad Bennings office
" Excuse me for asking , but it's very late and I was wondering why you called us here ?" said Theresa
" I mean I divorced Alistair before he died so I really have nothing to do with Crane , why didn't you call Gwen ?"
" Thats why I called you here Ms.Lopez-Vasquez " said Tad
" Gwen is not in control of the Crane estate , she forfeited the will when Jonathan was admitted to the government facility "
"What are you talking about Mr. Benning , why is Jonathan in a facility ?"
said Theresa
" I'm sorry I thought you knew " said tad
" Jonathan is a clone of Alistair not Alistairs son "
He is in a FBI facility in Washington DC they are actually calling him AC2 (Alistair Crane 2)
" Ms. Hotchkiss has been admitted to an insane asylum outside of Harmony , when she had found out
what Alistair had done , and they took Jonathan away she basically flipped , which is why I called
you both here tonight ."
Ethan and Theresa looked at each other and shrugged .
" So why did you call us Tad ?"
"Well basically you Theresa Lopez-Vasquez are the heir to Crane by default " said Tad
" Gwen didn't live up to her end of the bargain so it automatically goes to you "
"The house , the assets , Crane Industries all of its yours to do with as you please"
Theresa was in shock , at a loss for words
"Excuse me Mr. Benning but why did you call me here ?" said Ethan
" Oh I'm sorry , I called you because you are in charge of Ms. Hotchkiss affairs "said Tad
" I just needed you to sign some paperwork "
" Thats fine anything you need to keep that B1tch in a rubber room " said Ethan
" Thank you so much Tad " Theresa said and shook his hand .
"I'm going to make Crane industries a name to be proud of "
Ethan Winthrop was heading down to Harmony Haven where
Gwen was a patient , he wanted to make sure all of her paperwork was in order .
Here he was standing with the director .
"It's a shame what happened to that poor girl , I feel so horrible " she said
"Yeah a shame " Ethan said sarcastically " May I see her "
" You may see her through the glass but I would not recommend going in there with her "
She said "She has been quite violent since she arrived , she bit a staff member !"
" Thats fine "said Ethan " I just have to see her living arrangements in order to sign off on the paperwork "
The woman led Ethan down a cold dark hallway , for some reason he never pictured Gwen living
in a place like this now he was being led into an observation room .
" There you go I'll be out in the hall call me when you want to go "
The room was completely padded from ceiling to floor there were no chairs , no bed , nothing but a blanket and a
small pillow .
Ethan was guessing they did this for Gwens safety as well as the safety of the orderlies .
Gwen was sitting in a corner rocking back and forth and she only uttered one word " Jonathan "
It was the only word she had said since she arrived 2 days ago .
Ethan knew how much this tore Gwen apart she had always wanted children and when she finally got one , it
wasn't actually hers , for about a second he actually felt sorry for her then he came to his senses .
" You brought it upon yourself , you did everything to hurt me to hurt Theresa and look where it got you ,
locked in a padded room talking to yourself .
Just then the door opened .
" did you say something Mr. Winthrop " she said
" Yes , I just was saying I'm ready to go "
And then it was over Ethan was closing the door on
that part of his life Gwen would never hurt them again .
Ethans phone rang " Hi Theresa yeah I'm coming home , I love you too , I'll be there soon "
Part 11
All of the Cranes were in the Crane Enterprises boardroom .
Julian , Sheridan ,Pretty and Fancy were sitting there
along with Whitney who was there on behalf of Miles .
They were all unsure of why they had been called there .
Theresa recently had entered the room and was preparing paperwork .
" I bet you're all wondering why I've brought you all here ?"
Theresa said " And I'm sure by now you've all heard that I've inherited
all of Alistairs assets "
" Did you bring us here so you could gloat Theresa " said Pretty
" No No thats not it at all , as a matter of fact I've come here to give it back to
whom it belongs " said Theresa
"Are we really supposed to believe that you are going to just hand over Crane " said Sheridan
"Well I am kind of " said Theresa " I am keeping 20% stock so I can remain the major shareholder "
"The rest of the stock will be split into 10% increments between you all "
"May I ask what has posessed you to do this " Julian said
" Well I figured if you all had a vested interest in Crane and you each owned 10% ,
you could all keep an eye on your best interests , that way everyone is equal and nobody
could stab anyone in the back without hurting themselves , make sense ?" Theresa said
"So here is everyones stock options " she handed out the papers .
" Whitney you are here because you are controlling stock for Miles until he turns 21 , also you will
receive stock for the new baby once she is born ."
Sheridan you are controlling stock for Marty and for yourself .
"Julian I am appointing you as co C.E.O ."
" Fancy , Pretty here is your stock "
" Also I am returning posession of the Crane mansion to the Crane family , I will not
be residing there , Ethan and I have bought a new house "
" Theresa we don't know how to thank you " said Julian
" Don't thank me " said Theresa " make Crane a name to be proud of "
Julian sat in his new office , his fathers old office , but never the less new to him.
The office reeked of Alistair Crane .
His cigars , his brandy , his shady business dealings .
He hated it in here , everywhere he turned in the dank , dark office reminded him of Alistair .
He intended to change that .
He picked up the phone , " Yes Valerie , can you get me the number of a good interior decorator ."
" what for Julian " said Valerie " I need to get rid of some ghosts in this office " said Julian
" I'll get right on that " she said .
" Thank you " said Julian
He sat back in his fathers chair and smoked one of the old mans retched cuban cigars .
He smiled as he blew smoke ring after smoke ring .
"I bet your spinning in your grave " he said
"Rot in he11 you old ba$tard "
Part 12
Theresa layed in the bed , anxious for Ethan to return home , "our home" she said to herself .
It was a beautiful old colonial that used to be owned by the owner of the cannery , when she saw it she had
to have it , it had a big back yard and lots of bedrooms , a huge kitchen where she could make meals for her family .
"Her family " Theresa pinched herself to make sure it was true ,for so many years she had fought to be with Ethan ,loved
him watched him day after day with that no good B!tch Gwen .
But now as she layed here in this bed "Our Bed" none of that seemed to matter now .
All of a sudden she felt something on her shoulder .
"MMM... hello Mr.Winthrop " she said sultrily , Ethans lips brushing against her now naked silohuette .
" I must have been a good girl to have deserved this " she groaned .
Ethan hugrily kissed her all over " I couldn't wait one more second " said Ethan
"I think if I don't make love to you right now I will go insane "
Theresa smiled she knew that every night for the rest of her life would be this wonderful .
" Make love to me Ethan , I need you , I love you "
And for the first time in a long time they both felt complete , no more lies , no exes to worry about ,
no this time it was just them the way it always should have been .
" I love you Ethan " Theresa said " I love you too Theresa , it's always been you it always will be you "
Theresa put her finger up to his mouth " Shhh.. I know , you talk too much "
Ethan smiled because he knew what Theresa wanted , because he wanted it to .
They made love again , with so much Passion that Theresa feared if she and Ethan got any closer they would be the same person .
They were one .
" I think we made a baby " Theresa said

(One Month later) Part 13
Fancy Crane stood there in the church in front of a full length mirror admiring her wedding gown .
She was marrying Luis .
" You look beautiful " she heard behind her it was Julian .
" Oh , father I'm so nervous " she said .
" Luis loves you Fancy , I think excited is the word you were looking for '' Julian said with a smile .
The familiar sound of the church organ filled the air .
" I think thats our cue " Julian said
" Oh father I am so happy " Fancy said
The doors of the church were held wide open .
There stood Fancy and Julian .
Fancy looked beautiful in her white silk gown .
The train must have been six feet long .
She was radiant .
Luis stood at the altar watching his bride come towards him .
He knew that there could never be a more perfect moment than this .
" Who gives this woman to this man " Father Lonigan said
" Her mother and I do " said Julian
" Marriage is a wonderful sacrament not to be entered into lightly and Luis and Fancy love each other " said Father Lonigan
" If anyone has reason why this couple should not be wed , speak now or forever hold your peace "
Sheridan and Spike were sitting behind Pretty in the church , and Sheridan noticed that Pretty was about to speak , she placed her hand over Pretty's mouth and whispered " Don't you dare say a word Pretty if you do I will make sure you get disinherited "
She looked at Sheridan with tears in her eyes and then looked back at the altar " I've really lost this time " she whispered
Luis and Fancy exchanged vows with their families looking on , and every one in the church said how you could see the love in their eyes .
" May I present Mr, and Mrs. Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald " said Father Lonigan
Everyone was walking down the aisle to go outside and throw rice(birdseed) at the happy couple .
Ethan was holding Theresa's hand when she fainted in the middle of the aisle .
" Theresa , are you okay " said Ethan
" Somebody call 911!!"..............
Theresa laid in the hospital bed .
"Why do I feel so woosy" she said to herself
Last thing she remembered was walking down the aisle after the wedding .
Then everything went black .
Ethan was standing out in the hall with Eve Russell .
" Eve , why did Theresa pass out ? " said Ethan
" Well , her protein levels are down I think she just needed to eat something " Eve said
"Why don't we go into the room and have a talk with Theresa " .
They walked into the room , and saw that Theresa was coming around .
" You gave us quite the scare " said Eve
Ethan was holding her hand .
" Eve said your protein levels are low " said Ethan " When was the last time you ate ? "
" um this morning I got so busy getting ready for Fancy and Luis' wedding that I forgot " Theresa said
" Excuse me you two Theresa's protein levels are not the only reason I came in here " said Eve
" Theresa , your 4 weeks pregnant "she said
" We're pregnant ! " said Ethan as he hugged Theresa
Theresa was excited , for she knew this time would be different
this time she and Ethan would enjoy her pregnancy and nobody
would be taking this baby from her .
Everything would be ...Perfect .
She kissed Ethan " I love you .. Daddy "
