      Gwen was in her kitchen eating ritz crackers and sipping on warm lemon tea. It was ten a.m. and she was still dressed in her SpongeBob Squarepants tee shirt and her pink fuzzy slippers.

She was expecting Sheridan to dropped by at any minute; Sheridan called her twenty minutes earlier and informed her that she was on her way over with some important news.

She took her box of crackers and tea and went into the living room to wait for her. Her mind has been preoccupided for the last two days, she had a lot of decisions to make and she didn't know where to start.

She knew that she had to tell Ethan that he was about to become a father - again, that was a moment she was dreading to do especially with Theresa hovering in the background.

How ironic She thought. She had always picture that when she told Ethan that they were expecting it would be so different...so 'special'...

She would have a candlelight dinner for two waiting for him when he came home after a trying day at the office.

She would greet him at the door wearing a sexy outfit from Victoria's Secret, leaving him too shock for words...

"Hello baby." She would coo. "Did my man have a hard day at the office?"

Ethan would nod his head several times as he eyes her hungrily.

"Well I will make it all better." She whispered seductively as she loosen his tie and jacket and let them dropped to the floor.

"Come follow me." she would purr and lead Ethan into the living room where she had a tray of appitizers waiting.

She would gesture for him to sit down on the couch and put his feet up.

"Gwen what's the occasion?" He would ask.

She would shrugged her shoulders and smile coyly. "Can't I just show my husband how much I love him?"

Ethan would give her one of his killer smiles and take her in his arms.

"You are so beautiful." He would whisper in her ear. He would kiss her so passionately that her toes would curl.

"Ethan, darling, I have a present for you." She would whisper lustfully and lean over him, pressing her body against his as she grab a small velvet box on the end table behind him. "For you."

"Oh, oh this IS a special occasion, what is it? The first time we ever made love?" He would teased.

She would giggle and hit him playfull on the chest. "You have to open the box to find out."

He would opened the box and gasp...inside would be a silver 'DAD' keychain. He would look at her with tears glisten in his eyes...

"Is this true?" He would ask.

She would nod her head and began to laugh - tears of joy streaming down her face...

"We're pregnant!" He would shout. "I'm going to be a father!"

He would hold her close then remembering the baby, he will bend over and kiss her abdomen. "Hello baby." He would coo. "This is daddy."

They would laugh...

And then they would cry...

"Gwen I do love you. Thank you for giving me the best gift a woman can give a man."

Then he would crush her lips beneath his and meant it...

Gwen shook herself back to reality...

Now she had to make sure that psycho bitch will not harm her baby...

"Stupid bastard." Gwen said angrily.

Sheridan was shock to see Gwen lounging around in her night clothes.

"Are you doing okay?" She asked."You're usually up and dressed for the day by eight o'clock."

Gwen looked at Sheridan and shrugged her shoulders.

"Screw that, my body has been taken over by an alien." Gwen said. "I haven't adjust to all the changes yet."

Sheridan looked at the box of crackers and tea. "Is that all you have been eating? Crackers?"

"Crackers are a marvelous invention." Gwen praised. "Whom ever invented these should get a Noble Prize."

"Still can't eat anything huh?"

"You got it."

"My poor friend." Sheridan sighed. "Why don't I warm you up a bowl of chicken broth?"

"That'll be great." Gwen smiled. "At least I can drink that."

"Gwen you should try to eat something a bit more solid, why don't I make you a sandwich to go along with that broth?"

"I'll try." Gwen replied. "But I can't make any promises that it would stay down."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Sheridan warmed up a bowl of soup in the microwave while she made Gwen a ham sandwich.

"Here you go." She said softly. "Eat up."

Gwen took Sheridan's hands warmly in hers and squeezed it gently.

"Thank you for being here for me." She said. "I don't know what I will do without you and my parents."

Sheridan looked at the younger woman and smiled.

"Gwen that is what family is for." She replied. "Now eat up."

Gwen picked up the sandwich and took a bite.

"What is this news you have to tell me?" She asked between bites. "What is so important that you had to rush over here?"

"There is no easy way to put this but Ethan and Theresa tied the knot."

Gwen continued eating. "There is one thing I can say about Theresa, she is goal-orientened."

Sheridan laughed. "You should have heard Ivy, she came over this morning to read Julian the riot act, she blames HIM for the marriage."

Gwen shook her head in pity. "Ethan is the bitch and Theresa is his pimp, the bitch will do what ever his pimp tells him to do until he had enough. But in Ethan's case, he will always be Theresa's manbitch."

Sheridan shook her head in agreement. "After Julian had a good laugh, he congratulate Ivy on the newest addition to her family and showed her the door." She continued. "Then Phyllis came into the room with little Ethan and handed him over to Julian."

Gwen almost chocked on her food...

"Wait a minute, this scene doesn't add up." She said. "Ethan may be a putz but he would never leave his son behind - especially with Julian Crane."

"I thought the same thing." Sheridan agreed.

"Does Julian know that Theresa claims that Ethan is the father of her baby?"

Sheridan nodded her head. "I asked my brother why baby Ethan was still there."

She looked Gwen directly in the eyes...

"He told me that Ethan Matin is a Crane and he got the DNA to prove it...Theresa signed away her parental rights to be with Ethan."

Gwen tried very hard to stifle her laugh...

Theresa has yet to fail to prove her wrong...

And now Ethan is stuck with her lying ass...

FOREVER!!!

She threw back her head and laughed so hard that she began to cry...
