Chapter 33

"This champange has never tasted so good." Ivy complimented. "Mmmm sweet victory at last." Ethan chuckled as he poured them another glass. "You finally got that Lopez-Fitzgerald slut out of our lives." Ivy said gleefully. "Yesss! There is a God! Now you can focus all of your attention on Gwen and the baby."

Ethan nodded his head in agreement. "I'm going to try my hardest to get her back." He promised her. "I never knew how much I wanted Gwen back until that awful night in the hospital...I don't know what I would have done if anything had happened to either one of them or both." He admitted truthfully. "Gwen is the one I truly love NOT Theresa...Theresa was a deluded fantasy."

"I'm so glad that you finally broke the spell Theresa had over you." Ivy grinned. "The Winthrop genes are finally emerging loud and clear."

"The Bennett's genes are just as good mother." He retorted.

"That may be true but only in the females of the family."

Ethan took out his cell phone and checked the batteries-they were still good.

"You haven't heard from Gwen have you?"

"No mother I haven't." He sighed. "And frankly I'm getting worried."

"For what? Gwen is too smart to get involved with a comitted man." Ivy replid. "So don't be a mother hen and stress over her every move, you will never get her back that way."

"I trust Gwen. It's Colyer I don't trust, he might try to put the moves on her despite his up coming marriage."

"Didn't you just say you trusted Gwen?"

"Yes but..."

"Ethan don't go looking for trouble where there is none." Ivy advised. "Leave well enough alone. You just concentrate on sweeping her off her feet once she gets back." Ivy said. "In fact I think the surprise baby shower Bex and I are throwing will be the perfect set up for you to show Gwen how much you really care for her." Ivy smiled mischeviously, a plan was forming in that scheming mind of hers.

Ethan eyed her suspiciously, he had a plan forming of his own. "Mother." He smiled. "What are you up to?"

****

"I love you Theresa and I always will." Ethan whispered sweetly in her hear. "I am so happy that you saved me from making the biggest mistake in my life." He said. "If that anulment would have gone through..."

Theresa silenced him with a kiss. "Shhh...don't ever bring up that awful subject again." She said. "We are still together, that is all that matters. You, me and our baby."

Ethan eyes glisten with tears. "Our baby." He repeated. I love the sound of that." He slid down her body and planted a kiss on her pertruding belly. "Hello baby, this is daddy."

Theresa cradled his head in her arms, tears of joy flowed from her eyes. "I love you Ethan." She whispered happily. "And no one will be able to tear us apart ever again..."

Theresa quickly opened her eyes and looked around - her heart sank. She was still laying in the rat infested hell hole she checked herself into three days ago...

The bright neon sign outside her window did little to discourage the filthy vermins from scampering across the floor. The red and blue flashing lights seem to be a becon they use to find their way around the room.

Her neighbors on either side of her weren't any better, the constant thumping of their STD ridden beds knocking against the cheap paper-thin, plaster walls was taking it's toll on her fragile state of mind.

Earlier when she returned from the bar across the street, she was propositioned by one of the 'johns' she had seen coming out of the hotel hours before. "How dare you." She hissed. "Do you know who I am?" The stench from the alcohol on her breath made the man flinched. "I'm Mrs. Ethan Winthrop." She tettered.

The man pulled out three crispy one hundred dollars bills. "I know who you are." He smirked.

"I read the Tattler."He stuffed the bills down her blouse and grabbed her behind.

"Then you know that Chief Bennett is my father-in-law."

He let her go and settled for a rough kiss on the mouth,Theresa slapped him across the face.

"Next time sweetheart I am going to find out just how sweet you really taste." He sneered. "You can keep the money, livng in a dump like this the three G's come in handy."

Theresa quickly ran to her room and tore off the clothes and jumped into a scolding hot shower, scrubbing herself until she was raw...

"Oh baby yeah...com'on big daddy, give it to me!" The female in the room on her right moaned loudly.

" More, more...the ropes aren't tight enough! The man in the room on her left cried out.

Theresa put her hands over her ears to block out the sounds of the bed knocking against the walls. She shut her eyes tightly and willed her spirit to take her away from the madness...
