Sheridan fluffed the pillows on the couch and ordered Gwen to sit back and take it easy.

"I'm not an invalid." Gwen protested midly. "I'm - I'm pregnant."

It was the first time she actually spoke those words aloud since receiving the news.

"Yes you are pregnant." Sheridan confirmed. "And with my godchild." She smiled. "Gwen now that you are pregnant you have to take better care of yourself."

"I know." She said. She placed a protective hand over her abdomen. "It really hasn't hit me yet that I'm going to be a mother."

She dropped her face in her hands and groaned "How am I going to explain to my child why she is so much smarter than her daddy?"

Sheridan giggled softly. "I'm glad that you haven't lost your sense of humor."

"If you think I'm funny now, wait until you see the look on Theresa's face when I deliver the punch line. She smirked. "Talk about a Kodak moment."

"Does this mean that you are staying in Harmony?"

"Oh yeah." Gwen replied. "At least for a little while, why miss an opportunity to make Ethan's life a living hell?" She grinned.

She reached for her cell phone.

"Gwen what are you up to?" Sheridan asked suspiciously.

"Nothing, I'm calling my daddy, I know mother told him the good news by now..."

Gwen's conversation was interrupted by a call from John, her security guard.

"Yes John, what is it?"

"Mr. Winthrop is here to see you." He announced.

Gwen glanced at Sheridan and shook her head.

"I don't want to see him." She said. "In fact, he is no longer welcome on my property."

Ethan heard Gwen's response but he refused to leave.

"Gwen, my mother told me that you are crying over what happened, is that true?!" He yelled over the intercom. "I thought that you were happy for me and wanted the best for me was that all a lie?!"

Gwen felt the anger building up within her. Sheridan place a calming hand over hers to cool her down.

"I can't lose your friendship over something like this..I had asked you to marry me first remember? But when Theresa told me about little Ethan being mine...well...Gwen you knew I still had strong feelings for Theresa..."

Gwen jumped up from the couch and began searching through her desk drawers.

"Now where did I put that blasted thing?" She muttered.

"Gwen what are you looking for?" Sheridan asked nervously.

"The gun daddy gave me for Christmas last year." She said nonchalant. "Ahhh, here it is." She pulled out the Smith & Wesson and showed it to Sheridan. "I am going to pop a cap in his stupid ass as soon as I remember where I put the bullets."

"No Gwen please." Sheridan begged. "Think about your baby, do you want Theresa raising your child?"

"NO!"

"That's exactly what will happen if you go to prision for attempted murder." She warned her. "She will be raised by step mommy dearest."

A cold chill ran down her spine.

"Hello no." She said. "That looney bitch will never get her talons in my child." She vowed.

"Uh..um.. Ethan?" Sheridan said over the intercom. "I think you have said enough for one day. Why don't you do as Gwen ask and leave?" She suggested hoping that he would take the hint.

"What a dumbass." Gwen muttered as she sat down on the couch. "John will you please escort Mr. Winthrop off the property."

"No!" Ethan shouted. "No until I know that you are going to be alright and that you will not try anything stupid like killing yourself..suicide is not the answer..just ask Theresa!"

Gwen saw red...

"That does it!" She shouted.

Steam practically came from her ears...

"Gwen don't do anything rash." Sheridan pleaded. "Think about the baby."

It took several deep breaths to calm her down...

"John." She said calmly. "Release the hounds."

Satan's Bitch and Mrs. Cujo were released from their cages..

Ethan's girlish scream filled the air...

"That vindictive bitch!" Ethan yelled.

Ethan was throughly humiliated. He had been rushed to the hospital with a huge chunk of his glutes maximus imbedded between Satan's Bitch large teeth.

Animal control placed an urgent call to Gwen begging her to come to the hospital to command her dog to let Ethan go.

"Miss Hotchkiss we tried tranquilizer but it have no affect on her."

"Tell her to please hurry!!" Ethan yelled painfully in the background.

Gwen nearly bit the tip of her tongue completely off to keep herself from laughing.

"Tell Mr. Winthrop that I will be right there." She snickered.

Sam spotted Gwen in the hospital parking lot and began yelling at her.

"Ethan should press charges agianst you!" He snapped. "That was a cruel thing to do, just because he is in love with another woman."

Gwen pulled herself up to her full height and got into Sam's face.

"Cruel?! Cruel?!" She shouted in disbelief. "Ethan got off pretty easy if you ask me!" She spat as she jabbed him hard in the chest. "Getting a couple of stitches in the ass is nothing compare to what he did to me!"

"Gwen calm down." Sheridan cautioned.

"I'm sorry Sheridan but I will not calm down! Not until I tell officer Sam here exactly what I think of his baby boy!"

A crowd began to gather around them.

"Your son is a lying, two-faced, backstabbing, no good, cheating, sorry ass bastard!" She fumed. "Who doesn't know the meaning of the word 'love' if it was stamped on his tongue in permanent ink!"

Several women in the crowd began to cheer.

"Tell it sister!" One woman shouted.

"You go girl!" Another one shouted.

"The worthless piece of sh*t took my heart and stomped all over it as if it was nothing! I gave him the most precious gift I had to give a man...tell me Sam how do I get my virginity back? Huh? How do I get back the years I spent loving that pathetic loser?!...That's because I can't that's why!"

She rushed to her car before the tears began to fall...

Leaving Sam utterly speechless....
