Undeniable Love

It has now been nearly a year since Ethan and Theresa began their life anew. Within months of their reunion, Ethan's divorce from Gwen was finalized, leaving him free to be with the woman he truly loved. Ethan proposed to Theresa on Christmas Eve in front of their family and friends, to which she accepted. Not wanting to spend another day apart, Ethan and Theresa quickly married after the new year, and patiently awaited the arrival of their child.

(At the Winthrop House)

Rubbing his wife's belly with a smile on his face, Ethan looked up into his wife's beautiful brown eyes. "Do you know how happy I am that we're about to have a baby?"

"You're not the only one. I feel fat and ugly."

Moving up the side of his wife's body, Ethan kisses her lips passionately. "You are none of those things. You are the most beautiful, stunning, amazing woman I know and love."

"You're just trying to get into my pants thank you very much." Theresa says with a wink.

"Trying? I'm Ethan Winthrop, everything just comes naturally to me."

"Oh, you!" She says, hitting his side with a pillow from behind her. "Ohhh.." Theresa says suddenly.

Looking at her face suddenly gone pale, Ethan holds her hand. "Baby, what is it?"

"I think my water just broke."

Smiling at the thought of having a new baby come into the world that day, Ethan stands up. "Okay, you sit there and I will get the kids and your bag, and we'll be going."

"You're too calm for this, I thought you'd be a nervous wreck."

With that, Ethan winks at her. "Hey, I've delivered a baby before, if needed to, I'd do it again in a heartbeat." Moving fast, he grabs Theresa's bag, and then helps her to the car along with the kids.

"Yup, I'm truly lucky." Theresa thinks to herself as she watches Ethan drive, his hand lying protectively on her stomach. Thank you, God, for making all my dreams come true. I know Ethan and I started off our relationship the wrong way by having the affair, but now I realize that while it was a mistake, it was the best mistake we made in order to get back the life we both wanted, then after we married we found out after all these years that Little Ethan was really Ethan's son, and now a new baby…can life get any better than this?

Watching his wife, Ethan smiles. "You okay, my love?"

"I'm wonderful. Our life together is wonderful."

"Yes, it is." He says, clasping their hands together, feeling as content as humanly possible.

After the delivery

Staring at the blue eyed, brown haired little boy in her arms, Theresa smiles. "Well, Ethan, you now have your two boys to play sports."

"And don't forget our Jane to be a ballerina." Ethan says, kissing Theresa on the head. "You did beautifully, honey."

"Well, you did have a help in that." Theresa says with a wink. Looking at their son, Ethan smiles as he runs his finger gently down the baby's cheek. "What are we going to name him, mom?"

"Well, since we already have one son named after you, that won't work for this little guy."

"True."

"I was thinking of naming him Joshua Ethan."

"Joshua Winthrop. I like the sound of that." With that, Ethan takes Joshua into his arms, smiling as the baby opens his eyes to look at his daddy. "You are an incredible gift given to us, Joshua. Your mommy and I promise to love and care for you for the rest of your life." Turning to Theresa, Ethan smiles, the love for her filling his eyes. "I love you, Theresa. Thank you for making all my dreams come true."

"Thank you for being my dream come true, Ethan." She says, before he kisses her passionately.
