Prologue

WARNING: The prologue is in Theresa's POV!!

Who would have thought? Me Theresa Lopez Fitzgerald married to a Crane. Before you start your congratulations let me finish telling my story first.

No I didn't marry Ethan. Believe me when I say I wanted to but things just didnt work out that way. As I'm sure all of you have read in the newspapers I married Julian Crane under rather unfortunate circumstances.

Without going into all the elaborate details lets just say Julian and I got drunk and got married, then we slept together. When we returned from Bermuda lets just say Ethan wasn't the least bit happy with me and he dumped me on the spot. I don't need him though. He was so low as to go and marry Gwen less than a year after we split. Mama was so shocked but over time she's dealt with it and learned to accept it. Luis, he's another story. He tried to kill Julian. Not once, not twice, but THREE TIMES!!!. The first time he tried to beat the crap out of him. Then he attempted to strangle him to death and then the final time he tried to beat the crap out of him again.

Luis and I have talked so much since I married Julian and he has come to the realization that he's just going to have to deal with it and he has.

You may think that I'm depressed and upset and sad cause I don't have Ethan and Gwen does but I'm not. I've changed so much since then. The last 5 years of wedded bliss have been great. I may actually love Julian and he may actually love me. We both love our daughter Samantha. I think that what happened those 5 years could just have been the turning point in my life.

Chapter 1

WARNING: Similar to the prologue this chapter is in Julian's POV!!

Mrs. Crane

Mrs. Julian Crane

Mrs. Theresa Crane

I'm still not sure which one I like better but it doesn't matter. My wife is absolutly gorgeous and it is very possible that I could love her.

Wait! Did I just say that I could love Theresa? I do apologize. I believe I've had a little too much brandy today. Yes, I have feelings for Theresa, but I wouldn't call it love. The past 5 years have been amazing though.

Our daughter is my life. I love her. That I can say for sure, is one good thing that has come out of this marriage.

I'm thankful for everything I have though. I'm thankful for my wife because once you get to know her she is a wonderful person. I'm thankful for my daughter, my pride and joy. She brings so much happiness to Theresa and I. I'm also thankful that Ethan and Luis didn't kill me after finding out about Theresa and I. I'm thankful that Luis has learned to deal with it. If he didn't I don't think I would be here enjoying my brandy right now.

One more thing that I'm thankful is that Ethan is out of both my life and Theresa's. As you probably know Ethan is not my son but Sam Bennett's and after he found out about Theresa and I he took off and I believe married Gwen Hotchkiss. No one in Harmony has heard from any of them in quite a couple of years, not even Ivy.

I guess you could say life is great. I have a wife - even though we don't exactly love eachother, a wonderful daughter and enough brandy to last me for at least the end of the day. Maybe I should go talk to the cook about getting some more so I will be stocked up for tommorow.
