Summary: Okay, so with this fanfic I have gone back in time a little. It starts out right after Ethan takes Jane away from Theresa after Gwen had kidnapped her. Instead of ever getting involved with Allistar, Fox and Theresa got back together and they both have been working to try and get her custody of Jane. Ethan continues to stay with his wife but him and Theresa begin an explosive affair with each other while they both have other people in their lives because they can't seem to stay away from each other. *This is my first fanfic so any feedback is AWESOME!* Prologue Rating: PG She stood beside the window sill and watched as the moonlight danced across the town. She could see the wharf from here, she could see their past. With closed eyes Theresa pictured tracing every crevice of his face with her hands, kissing each inch with the same passion that their first kiss on the wharf contained. Yet so much had happened since then. Their innocent friendship had turned into an undying love that neither one of them could deny. They were together, almost married and then separated again because of lies. Well, not just lies---because of Gwen. Obligation was the only reason he married her and everyone knew it, even her. Now, years later with so many more reasons to guilt him into her bed, Gwen still had Ethan chained to her. But Theresa knew his heart belonged to her, and to her that was all that mattered. As she stared out the window and thought about everything she couldn’t control she didn't even hear the door open as quietly as possible. Ethan slipped in the door and saw her standing by the window. With the moonlight shining on her face all he could think of was holding her in his arms and wiping away all the tears she had ever cried for him. He knew he had hurt her in every possible way, but she had also done her share of hurting him. But none of that mattered right now. All that mattered was he was there and so was she and nothing would change that. He slowly crept up behind her and knowing she didn't know he was there yet he slowly wrapped his arms around her and leaned his head against the side of hers. He closed his eyes and felt her breath shorten as her body found it’s way into his where they both knew it fit so perfectly. With his eyes closed and holding her in his arms he felt everything like it was supposed to be felt, and all he could feel was her.

Chapter 1: The Replacements Rating: PG-13
Theresa turned around and looked in his eyes. They had the same glint in them that made her fall in love with him and she smiled all the smiles she never could outside this room. No words needed to be spoken now; they both knew they had said them all already. Ethan brushed the hair out of her face and leaned down, not quite kissing her. She felt his breath, hot and sweet, against her lips and reached her mouth forward to meet his. Their lips convened with an insatiable hunger that made them both weak in the knees. Ethan grabbed the back of Theresa’s hair and pulled her even deeper into him. Instinctively, Ethan began pulling her towards the bed and slowly began unbuttoning his shirt. He felt her run her hands up his chest and discard his shirt like she had so many times before. He sat on the bed and she stood in front of him and began removing her blouse. Ethan leaned forward and pulled her torso into his mouth. He made a trail of kisses up her body as she sat on top of him, one leg on either side.
“Now you’re trapped” Theresa joked as she kissed along his collarbone--- a weak spot of his that only she knew about. Ethan smiled devilishly.
“I have been all along” he said, taking her face in his hands and staring her deeply in her eyes. He wanted to say everything he knew he shouldn’t; he wanted to not feel everything he wasn’t supposed to feel but he couldn’t help it. She stared back with such affection that he couldn’t stop himself “I love you, Theresa” he said in almost a whisper, but he knew she could hear it.
He saw happiness flood into her eyes and immediately get replaced with distress. He felt her body pull away and watched as she got off his lap. He watched her as she paced the room and saw her stop by the window and look down at her engagement ring, a ring that shouldn’t even be there in the first place. He got up and began kissing her shoulder but he felt her pull away again.
“What’s the matter?” Ethan asked, already knowing the answer. Theresa turned around and stared at him, her distress had now transformed to confusion.
“I can’t do this” Theresa said walking away from him and groping the floor for her shirt. She looked up at Ethan who stood above her holding it above, teasing her with it.
“Why do you mean you can’t do this?” Ethan replied cockily. “It’s not like you haven’t done it before, so why start feeling guilty now?”
“Because it’s wrong, that’s why.” Theresa responded reaching for the shirt in his hands. He pulled it just out of her reach just to taunt her. “Ethan, repeating the same mistake over and over again doesn’t make it any less of a mistake.”
“You would know” Ethan replied coldly, lowering her shirt so she could reach it. He looked in her eyes and saw her pain, immediately regretting what he had just said. “Look… I” Ethan began to explain but Theresa cut him off.
“We’ve both made our fair share of mistakes, I’d say.” Theresa replied grabbing her shirt and putting it on, “I guess the difference between you and I is that I can admit to mine.”
Ethan’s stare turned angry, “What is that supposed to mean?” he said through clenched teeth.
“You know exactly what that means.” Theresa replied. “Your marriage is a sham and but won’t admit it Ethan, that’s what all of this is about. You can’t stand that you married the wrong woman, but you refuse to admit it to anyone because that might make you seem weak. What do you do instead? You sneak off to make love to me any opportunity you get. You betray the woman that shouldn’t even be your wife because you aren’t man enough to admit you were wrong!”
“Damnit Theresa, that isn’t true!” Ethan snapped.
“Isn’t it Ethan?” Theresa countered. “If that isn’t it, then why do you do this?”
“What do you mean why do I do this? Why do you do this?” he said as he approached her slowly. “If you are so in love with Fox and ready to marry him and start a life with him then why is it you can look at me the way you just did and come off and make love to me every chance you get?” His face was so close to hers she could barely think straight. She broke away and walked over to the bed.
“Our situations are completely different Ethan! I really do love Fox, and if you would leave me alone and let me begin my life with him and stop tempting me and interfering with my life every chance you get then I would be able to move on.” Theresa began smoothing the blankets on the bed in an attempt to try and avoid Ethan.
“Your engagement means nothing and you know that.” Ethan shot back “Fox is just a replacement for me and the sooner you admit that and take that ring off your finger, the better.”
“A replacement for you?” Theresa laughed. “That’s funny; I could say the same thing about Gwen and me.” She saw how uncomfortable it made Ethan when she said his wife’s name. “You know nothing about my relationship with Fox so you need to stop trying to judge me for trying to build a life with him while you’re off playing house with your wife and my daughter.” She looked at the fire in Ethan’s eyes as she said Fox’s name. He never accepted that her and Fox were together, and their engagement made him even more angry.
“Trying to build a life with him?” it was Ethan’s turn to laugh. “How can you even call it that when you’re here with me? You get this upset over me telling you I love you and we both know it’s only because you love me too.” Theresa broke their gaze and stared out the window. “Even if you won’t say it anymore because you think it makes things easier, we both know it true.” Theresa turned around to face him, still not meeting his gaze. “I feel it every time you look in my eyes, every time your lips meet mine and every time you touch me, even if you won’t say it.”
Ethan looked at Theresa, watching her mind race. He went to her and cupped her head in his hands. She looked away at first, then finally lifted her face and looked in his eyes. He watched as her bottom lip quivered and her throat tried to choke back the words he knew she wanted to say.
He kissed her forehead and leaned his head against hers. “I love you, too” he whispered in her ear. He knew that none of this was right and none of it was fair on either of them, but they never seemed to be able to stop. They both belonged to other people as soon as they left this room, but he knew as long as they were in here she was his and no one else’s.

*I'm glad you guys are enjoying! Thanks for the awesome feedback 'hos!*
Chapter 2: Where She Belongs Rating: PG
When Theresa woke up it was still dark. She felt Ethan’s arms wrapped around her and couldn’t bear to get up. She knew she had to go home, she knew Fox was probably wondering why she wasn’t home from her meeting yet but she couldn’t manage to let go of Ethan and this fantasy life she lived every time they met here. She turned around and nuzzled her face into Ethan’s neck. She felt him stir, let out a sigh and run his hands up her back.
“Not yet” Ethan said sleepily, knowing Theresa was thinking about going.
Theresa kissed him and then rested her head against his chest. “You know I have to, Ethan. Fox will be wondering where I am”. Ethan opened his eyes at the mention of Fox and wrapped his arms even tighter against her.
“You’ll think of something” he said so assured “But for right now, I can’t let you leave. I won’t let you leave” he said, running his fingers through her hair. He pulled her up to meet his lips and kissed her until any thought of her leaving had vanished from her mind and the two lay there, intertwined. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the sun began to shine through the window, Ethan woke up, slowly realizing his arms were empty. He felt a pang of loneliness until he looked at the pillow beside him. He picked up a small piece of paper and his eyes slowly scanned it. He read the words on the paper, knowing only he would understand them.
My heart has never been so full of love as it is at this very moment.
His mind flashed back to their wedding. Well, their almost wedding. He pictured her walking down the aisle with a smile on her face brighter than anything he had ever seen. He could hear her saying these words from the paper, and he watched her lips in his mind say everything he knew she felt; that he knew she would always feel. As he was lost in his fantasy world, he was brought back to reality when he heard his cell phone ring. He didn’t even need to check the caller ID to know it was Gwen. Ethan picked up the phone but couldn’t even manage to get out “Hello” when Gwen started in on him.
“Ethan, where are you?” she demanded. He knew she had no idea he was with Theresa, but he still sensed suspicion in her voice.
“Good Morning to you too, Gwen” Ethan said sleepily.
“Ethan, you have been out all night and I want to know where you have been.” Gwen said angrily. “You know we have to be in court by nine for the custody hearing and you spend the entire night before out doing God’s knows what!” Gwen screamed at him.
“Gwen calm down” Ethan said calmly. After all these years at least he knew how to settle her down when she got all riled up. “Of course I haven’t forgotten the custody hearing is today and that is exactly why I was out all night.”
“What do you mean Ethan?”
“Well, if you would stop interrupting and let me explain then I would be able to tell you”.
He heard Gwen sigh. “Fine Ethan, explain.”
“Well Gwen, I was at the office all night compiling files to take to court today.” He lied. “I know how important this hearing is to you, to both of us.” Gwen was silent. “While I was doing all this research I must have fallen asleep and I was just about to come home when you called”. He hated lying to her, but he knew the truth would hurt even more.
Gwen was silent for a moment. “We can’t lose Jane, Ethan.” Gwen responded. “Theresa cannot take another one of my children!”
Her last remark stung Ethan, knowing that Gwen losing her children wasn’t Theresa’s fault, yet she was where Gwen placed all the blame. “The judge gave us full custody before Gwen, and just because some circumstances have changed I don’t see why he would change it now.”
“She is my daughter, Ethan. She is mine and Theresa can’t take her from me” Gwen said. Ethan could hear the viciousness behind the name Theresa.
“Look Gwen, I’m going to do everything I can to not let Theresa take custody from us. I’m on my way home now, just wait for me to get there and we can leave for court together okay?”
“Okay, Ethan, just, hurry back okay? We don’t want to be late”. He heard the phone click and he closed his phone. Ethan tucked the small note from Theresa into his briefcase and quickly dressed and left their room.
Ethan climbed into his car and thought about the trial. He knew taking custody of Jane before had hurt Theresa so deeply but he also knew he had to do it to make it up to Gwen. The judge had said it was temporary full custody, but he never thought it would actually be temporary. He knew Theresa loved Jane and wanted her back, so he thought she would pull some crazy stunts that would further prove to the court that Jane belonged with Ethan and Gwen. He had been wrong.
Instead, she and Fox had spent the last few months planning and working hard to build a strong case in order to get at least partial custody of Jane, if not full. Ethan knew it was going to be an uphill battle against them today but what he didn’t know is if he really wanted to fight back all that hard. He knew that Gwen loved Jane, but he also knew that Theresa was her mother and deserved to be in her life.
With all these thoughts flying through his head, Ethan arrived home sooner then he thought. He got out of the car and went to get ready for court, still not knowing in his heart what the day would bring out.
But even worse, not knowing how he wanted it to turn out.
