Simone sobbed into her pillow. Eve comforted her daughter.
"It's going to be ok honey," Eve said. "You'll find a man who loves you for who you are," Eve said.
"No I won't," Simone said. "I won't find anyone who's not going to play me for a fool. Whitney was the one that played me for a fool- my own sister lied to my face and stabbed me in the back."
"Simone, Whitney didn't mean to hurt you." Eve said.
"Whitney, Whitney, Whitney- Whitney is such a saint." Simone said sarcastically. Simoen wiped a tear from her eyes. "Whitney is a liar, Mom. If she wasn't she would have told the truth when you and daddy asked her that night at Theresa's party," Simone cried. "Daddy doesn't even care, he thinks that his precious Whitney could do no wrong because she was so focused on tennis until Chad got her pregnant, he blames Chad for everything, he told me it couldn't possibly be true to my face when Whitney stole my boyfriend, all daddy cares about is his tennis." Simone said. "I feel like no one even notices I exist because I'm not special and good at tennis and other things like Whitney is, daddy never asked me to be his tennis buddy." Simone cried. Eve hugged Simone.
"Simone, your father loves you." Eve said.
"No he doesn't he loves Whitney." Simone sobbed. Simone got an idea to get revenge on Whitney. Simone looked up at Eve. "Mom, do you ever think I could be anything like, you know, a doctor?" Simone asked. Eve looked at her daughter in surprise.


The phone rang at Sheridan's cottage.
"Hello?" Antonio asked. "Yeah, Theresa's here. Theresa, Whitney's on the phone!" Antonio called.
"Theresa, I heard that you're not married to Julian- this is unbelievable." Whitney said.
"Yeah, I know." Theresa said. "And that pig Julian and Rebecca are trying to get custody of little Ethan." Theresa said.
"What!?" Whitney asked. "Oh my God, they can't!" Whitney said. "Theresa, you are not going to believe what we just found out."
"What was it?" Theresa asked.
"Brace yourselves," Whitney said. "I'm pregnant with Chad's baby." Whitney had to cover her ears as Theresa squealed into the phone.
"Oh Whitney, this is great! You're going to have Chad's baby, I knew it!" Theresa said. "It's fate! If this is not fate, I don't know what is! It's fate!"
"What's fate?" Antonio asked.
"Whitney and Chad are having a baby!" Theresa said.
"Tell her I said congratulations!" Chad said.
"Antonio said congratulations." Theresa said. "I suppose you heard that Sheridan is pregnant with Antonio's baby?"
"What?" Whitney asked in confusion. Whitney sighed. "And I thought I had the worst luck with my father."
"Oh no, what did coach Russel do?" Theresa asked.
"He threatened to kill Chad." Whitney said.
"Whitney, I will be over right away! Oh, but I can't take my baby off of the grounds, what if I leave and Julian comes into the cottage and takes little Ethan?" Theresa said frantically.
"Don't worry, Theresa, I'll babysit little Ethan," Antonio volunteered.
"You're a life saver, Antonio." Theresa said. "I'll be over there right away, Whitney, you can tell me everything." Ethan came into the room after Theresa hang up the phone.
"What was that about?" Ethan asked.
"Ethan, you are not going to believe it- it's the best news ever!" Theresa said.
"What happened?" Ethan asked. "Did Julian change his mind about getting custody of little Ethan?" Ethan asked.
"No, but it is about babies." Theresa said.
"What about babies?" Ethan asked.
"Whitney is pregnant!" Theresa said. Ethan looked stunned. "With Chad's baby!" Theresa dragged Ethan out the door.



 

Fox sighed as he walked into the mansion.
"Oh, its you." Julian said, pouring himself some champagne.
"You will not believe what Jessica Bennett, Reese Durke and I saw." Fox said.
"Oh lord, you're hanging out with the Bennetts?" Julian asked. "I suppose it could be worse, at least you're not socializing with that spiky haired girl Beth Wallace or that diaper wearing granny." Julian said.
"Don't worry dad." Fox said. "I was over at the Bennettes talking to mother than Rebecca showed up for some reason so I left, then I looked into Tabitha's window and Kay Bennett was floating through the air and reading a book of spells."
"I warned you about those tomato soup cakes and premonitions." Julian said.
"Don't worry, dad, I didn't go within a yard of Grace's cakes, but Tabitha was also floating in the air." Julian laughed at Fox's comment. "Dad, I'm dead serious. She was floating in the air, her body parts were floating around the room. Reese and Jessica saw it too- there was a red shoe floating by the window and Tabitha was trying to put herself back together, then Kay read a spell and Tabitha got put back together and Tabitha and Kay stopped floating." Julian spit out his champagne. "Yeah, it was that bizarre." Fox said. "Almost as bizarre as things are around here. I'm going upstairs." Fox said. Julian's jaw dropped in shock. "Oh no, what did I get myself into?" Julian asked, collapsing into the couch. "I had sex with the residential witch," Julian thought in dread. A few seconds later, Rebecca walked through the door. "What were you doing over at the Bennett house?" Julian asked impatiently. Rebecca gave Julian a guilty smile.
"Ok, I admit it, I tried to get Ivy to help me break up Ethan and Theresa." Rebecca said.
"Rebecca, what did I tell you?" Julian asked.
"Don't worry, Ivy told me to butt out." Rebecca said. "Anyways, I went over to Gwens apartment, we made up," Rebecca said.
"At least that argument's over," Julian said.
"And you won't believe the next." Rebecca said eagerly.
"What happened?" Julian asked, hoping it would be good news after the story Fox just told him about Tabitha and her new sidekick.
"You'll never guess who spent the night at Gwen's apartment!" Rebecca said.
"Who?" Julian said. "Was it Ethan?"
"No, a thousand times better than Ethan." Rebecca said.
"You mean Gwen is seeing someone else already?" Julian asked in surpise.
"No, not exactly, but Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald spent the night at Gwennie's apartment- the best part is, he forgot his work badge, which gives him the excuse to go back!" Rebecca squealed. Julian looked at her in dread. "Oh, that was after Luis saved Gwen from drowning when she fell off of the wharf."
"Oh no." Julian groaned. "This is not a good thing."
"How is it not? I know he's a Lopez-Fitzgerald, but anyone with muscles like his has to be normal." Rebecca said.
"Rebecca, will you quit daydreaming about Luis taking his shirt off? This is serious. Luis and Gwen can't be a couple, well, I mean, you'll be a Crane soon, and if Luis and Gwen got together that could give Luis access to Crane family secrets..." Julian said.
"Pookey, you always see the downside of everything, don't you?" Rebecca said.
"Explain the positives, because I'm just not seeing it." Julian said. "We're doomed."
"No, we're anything but doomed." Rebecca said. "If Luis and Gwen fall in love, then that will mean that it's over between Luis and Sheridan! Then you won't have to worry about killing your own sister to break up Sheridan and Luis."
"I guess," Julian said.
"I don't think we'll have to worry about Alastair asking you to kill Antonio, because he's just too clueless, Gwen told me that Sheridan told her that Antonio told Sheridan that he knows what's going on here, Luis is just upset about you trying to get custody of Ethan Martin..." Rebecca said, talking a mile a minute. Julian quickly downed the rest of the champagne. "Julian, will you stop getting drunk and listen to me?" Rebecca asked.
"Sorry, even hearing about Antonio not being able to figure this whole mess out gives me a headache just thinking about it." Julian said.
"Yes, lacking a brain is that body's one flaw," Rebecca said. Julian groaned, getting very annoyed to have to hear about Luis and Antonio. Rebecca smirked, figuring this would be a good opportunity to get Julian to slip up. "Pookey," Rebecca said, massaging Julian's shoulders. "You know, I was thinking, it seems like kind of a double standard that you had three wives but you get annoyed with me if I look at other men, you're not chasing other women again, are you?" Rebecca asked. Julian realized he was cornered.
"Um, no." Julian said. "What put that idea in your head?"
"Well, there's always that music you're listening to, I know you love the music but you are obsessed with that one singer, and you're always playing that song over and over," Rebecca hinted. "Who is the singer?"
"Oh no, how am I going to explain this one?" Julian wondered, it was obvious that Rebecca wasn't going to give this up any time soon.
"It's just a tape," Julian said.
"Just a tape? You know, I overheard Ivy telling David that you were always listening to that tape and you get well, depressed when you listen to it." Rebecca said.
"Wait, why were Ivy and David talking about the tape?" Julian asked. Rebecca decided she wasn't going to tell Julian about what she overheard Ivy and David talking about, she wanted to hear it from him. Rebecca started to kiss Julian. "Come on, pookey, you can tell Becky," Rebecca said.
"No, I can't let anyone find out about Eve's past!" Julian thought. "What am I going to do?"



 

At Gwen's apartment, Gwen sighed. "I can't stop thinking about Luis," Gwen said. Gwen held Luis's badge in her hand and stared at it longingly. Gwen flashed back to last night when he saved her from drowning. The song "Everywhere" played in her mind. 'Turn it inside out so I can see The part of you that's drifting over me And when I wake you're never there But when I sleep you're everywhere You're everywhere Just tell me how I got this far Just tell me why you're here and who you are 'Cause every time I look You're never there And every time I sleep You're always there 'Cause you're everywhere to me And when I close my eyes it's you I see You're everything I know That makes me believe I'm not alone I'm not alone I recognize the way you make me feel It's hard to think that You might not be real I sense it now, the water's getting deep I try to wash the pain away from me Away from me 'Cause you're everywhere to me And when I close my eyes it's you I see You're everything I know That makes me believe I'm not alone I'm not alone I am not alone Whoa, oh, oooh, oh And when I touch your hand It's then I understand The beauty that's within It's now that we begin You always light my way I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go I always feel you so
'Cause you're everywhere to me And when I close my eyes it's you I see You're everything I know That makes me believe I'm not alone 'Cause you're everywhere to me And when I catch my breath It's you I breathe You're everything I know That makes me believe I'm not alone You're in everyone I see So tell me Do you see me?" During the song, Gwen flashed back to Luis taking her back to her apartment, Gwen and Luis comforting each other, falling asleep in each other's arms and waking up on the couch the next morning, Luis accidentally kissing Gwen in his sleep, and the akwardness when Luis woke up. Gwen smiled dreamily as she remembered watching Luis walk out the front door. Gwen snapped out of it. "Gwen, what's wrong with you? You're still not over losing Ethan to Theresa, and Sheridan is your best friend-" Gwen realized that she had feelings for Luis. "What am I going to do?" Gwen asked herself.
