(At the Hospital)

After a long labor, Theresa has just given birth to a baby girl, and now she and Ethan are on the hospital bed talking.

"I can't believe how wonderful our life has been"

"I know baby, we have each other, and our son, and now our beautiful little girl." They stare down at the precious little bundle of joy.

"What are we going to name her, Ethan?"

"I have the perfect name in mind."

"I'm listening."

"Faith. Faith Elizabeth Winthrop."

"Faith. That's a beautiful name." Theresa says as she lovingly looks from her husband to her daughter.

"And it means a lot. Faith in our love, and faith in each other. All our ups and downs have brought us to this very moment, my love. And now, our daughter will be a reminder for us of all we've gone through to be together." Ethan kisses the side of Theresa's head as he holds her and his daughter close.

"You're right, you know. If it hadn't been for that night back at the mansion so long ago when I tried getting our son back, I don't think I would have realized how strongly my feelings were for you. It's like we knew instinctively we were making love to each other."

Ethan takes Theresa's face into his hands. "You've always had a place in my heart, Theresa. I think it just took me that night after I remembered everything, to really realize that you have been the woman I have wanted to spend my life with, and no one else."

"You're not mad at me, are you?" Theresa asks.

"No, my love. I could never be mad at you. I am so happy with you, Little Ethan, and Faith. My life is so full of love and happiness. You have blessed me with all that, Theresa."

"But what about..." Theresa sighs slowly as she looks at her new daughter. "What about all the pain I caused you and Gwen when you lost Sarah..."

"Baby, there's something I never told you about Sarah."

"What is it, Ethan?"

"Well, for one thing. Sarah wasn't mine. I found out after she was born that her blood match was not identical to mine. Gwen later confessed that she had an affair with someone else, and was going to pass off Sarah as my own."

Theresa looks lovingly at her husband, and sees the hurt behind his eyes. "Oh, Ethan, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean—"

"No, baby, you're not at fault here. We were all tricked by Gwen. Now, she will be in prison for life, and will never get out. Now, I am with the woman I should have been with from the start, and I have two beautiful children with this woman, and my life could not be any happier."

"You mean it?"

"With my whole heart. I love you, Theresa Winthrop. I love you so much. You're the air I breathe, my soul mate. You're my world, Theresa. Only you."

"And you're mine, Ethan Winthrop. Faith brought us together, and now Faith will keep us together."

They share a passionate kiss as they enjoy their new life ahead.
