Julian sighed as he lounged in the chair in his office and poured himself a drink. "I wonder if Theresa really did kidnap Allan?" Julian asked. Julian remembered when she had used Ethan Martin to get her hands on the Crane fortune to get Ethan back, and Ethan Martin turned out to be Ethan's after all. "What if Theresa is using my own son against me?" Julian asked. Julian wished Theresa would be visited by three ghosts on Christmas Eve and return his son. Rebecca walked into the office.

      "Did you say something, pookey?" Rebecca asked.

      "We just can't get rid of Theresa, can we?" Julian sighed. "Even having her executed didn't work."

      "If we could find anything more lethal than lethal injection, Alastair would probably find some way to make it not lethal." Rebecca said.

      "It's like father thinks that he doesn't torment me enough." Julian said. "Our son is missing, and Theresa fakes her death, comes back and gets Ethan back, how is it that she is not in a straight jacket instead of being allowed to run rampant?"

      "Theresa is nuttier than one of Grace's holiday tomatoe soupcakes." Rebecca said. Rebecca smirked. Julian looked down at his martini in dread, knowing that look.

      "What are you up to?" Julian asked.

      "I just thought of a way to convince Theresa to hand over our son!" Rebecca said.

      "Convincing Theresa, ha, I'd like to see that." Julian said, rolling his eyes.

      "We both know how nuts Theresa really is." Rebecca said.

      "Tell me something I don't already know." Julian said.

      "How would you like to see your fantasy of Theresa in a straight jacket become reality?" Rebecca asked deviously.

      "I'm listening," Julian said. "Rebecca, I hope you know what you're doing." Julian thought.

      "I say we think of something to set Theresa up so everyone thinks that she is completely deluded." Rebecca said. "Everyone knows that we accused her of taking Allan the other night at the Bennetts, Luis and Sam would realize how deluded Theresa is and would wonder if she really was the kidnapper and search the house. Besides, Sam did say something about the scarf matching the gloves that Theresa had."

      "This plan seems a little crazy, but we have to get rid of Theresa." Julian said.

      "I thought so, pookey." Rebecca said.

      "Maybe it will do us some good to get out of the house for a while." Julian said.

      Theresa walked into the attick after Gwen left.

      "As soon as everyone else goes to bed, I'll take you back home." Theresa said. "I've finally gotten Ethan, and Gwen's got nothing." Theresa smirked deviously. "And she didn't even know that I was using her own half brother as a barganing chip!" Theresa went downstairs to hear Antonio reading The Night Before Christmas to Ethan Martin.

     "Not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse," Antonio read.

     "Hopefully I won't get caugh stirring," Theresa said. "If anyone catches me with that baby, I am busted."
 

     "I think that breakfast really got Daddy into a better mood," Simone said. Max smirked.

     "I can't believe I kept burning everything," Max said. "I really had been living on the streets for so long."

     "Oh, other than cooking skills, you wouldn't notice the difference." Simone said.

     "Thanks, I think." Max said.

     "What I meant was you're a really sweet guy, and that shouldn't make any difference even if you are a former street kid." Simone said.

     "Thanks," Max said, kissing Simone. Eve watched.

     "I haven't seen Simone this happy in as long as I can remember," Eve thought, not remembering seeing Simone that happy since before finding out about the what if visions. Eve remembered talking to Julian about him getting pregnant and abandoning her when she was living Max's lifestyle. "I just hope that Simone doesn't" Eve couldn't finish the thought. Max seemed like a great guy, but she didn't want to see it happen to Simone. Eve remembered yelling at them to stop taking her baby. "TC, I really hope that you're wrong about Max being a no good street kid." Eve said.

      "Thinking about your past again, Eve?" David asked.

      "I don't want to talk about it-" Eve said, startled to find out David was listening in. TC grabbed David by the arm.

      "Don't you dare do anything to my wife!" TC said.

      "TC, I think you need to calm down-" Eve said, worried that TC would hit David.

      "Don't worry about me calming down, I'm going out!" TC said. TC left the house. The door slammed.
 

      TC arrived at the wharf. "One more minute in that house and I think I'll explode." TC said. "First, David completely ruins Sam and Grace's perfect marraige, and now he's moving in on Eve? Then after those what if visions, that bastard Julian takes Eve away from me and I end up getting stuck in that lousy witness protection program while our daughters were left alone for so long. Just when I finally get Eve back, it all blows up in my face!" TC said. TC angrilly kicked a trash can.

      "Let's put our plan into action, pookey!" Rebecca said.

      "As soon as this is all over, I'm giving the Harmony PD a peice of my mind." Julian said. Julian and Rebecca turned a corner. "Theresa is criminally insane- faking her death and assuming a new identity, then passing Ethan Martin off as my son, now she's probably definitely-" Rebecca tried to get Julian's attention when she saw TC.

      "Uh, pookey?" Rebecca said in panic.

      "Now what?" Julian groaned. Julian shuddered. "Just when I thought my life couldn't get any worse.

      "You!" TC yelled at Julian. "This is all your fault!"

      "What did I do this time?" Julian asked.

      "I'd watch playing dumb, Crane! All you're going to want for Christmas is your two front teeth because I'm going to make damn sure I knock them out!" TC said.
 

      Jessica watched furiously as Kay pretended to be in love with Reese.

     "It's not fair!" Jessica said. "Kay is so evil. She goes after Miguel, and now she has to take the one thing that's the most important to me! Reese." Jessica said. Jessica wished that there was some way she could get Reese back.
