Chapter 6 ~ "The Choice"
Down Town Harmony
*********
After getting caught up to date, Noah relaxed a little and decided to take a stroll around his favorite town.
Entering the Harmony PD offices, he called out at a man sitting behind a desk.
“Hey old man, what’s the word?”
Sam Bennett, Chief of H.P.D. swung in his chair, stood up and embraced his first born. “Noah! You didn’t tell me you were coming to town. Have you seen you mother?”
“Nall pop, not yet. I was over at the house, getting the update from Kay. She is still my girl. I just can’t believe her and Miguel are not together yet.”
“And they may not ever be, because your cousin Charity has caught Miguel’s eye.”
“Yes, I’ve heard. Interesting.”
“Well, My boy what made you take the summer off from school to come back to Harmony? Were you home sick?”
“Yeah pop something like that.”
“Well I know you better go and see your mom before she hears you’re in town from someone else.”
“All right. That’s my next stop. Is Luis in?”
“Oh that’s right, you don’t know. The FBI deputized him, and now he is Sheridan Crane’s bodyguard.”
“Wow! I know that didn’t sit right with Luis. He hates that family.”
“Well, he’s getting use to it. Sheridan is spoil, but she’s not as bad as her family.”
“Yeah, I do remember her being a babe.”
“You just keep your focus on finishing school. I can’t wait to brag that we have a doctor in the family.”
“Yeah a doctor. I wouldn’t mind making house calls to some of these beautiful harmony women.’
Sam laughed at his son’s comment. “Go and see your mom son.”
“All right dad. See you later.”

Ding-Dong. The Lopez Fitzgerald’s doorbell rang. “Come in Whit, I’m in the kitchen.”
Whitney walked in the house and stood for a moment. Theresa came out of the kitchen with two glasses of iced tea.
“Happy Birthday Theresa.”
“Oh Whitney you shouldn’t have. They are beautiful.”
“What’s beautiful?” Whitney looking confused at her friend.
“The flowers Whit!”
“Oh Theresa these are not from me. I’m giving you my present tonight at the party. There was a deliveryman out side you door, so I just signed for them. I wonder whom they are from.”
Theresa sat the drinks down and walked over to Whitney. “Is there a card in them?”
“Yes, right here.”
Theresa took the card and read it. “Can’t wait to see you my love, Happy Birthday”. “Oh Whitney I can’t believe it. He found out that it’s my birthday. I told him fate would reveal it to him and now he knows.”
“Fate would reveal what to whom? What are you talking about Theresa?”
“These flowers are from Ethan. He found out that it was my birthday and sent them to me.”
“Honey, not again. When will you get it out of your head that you and Ethan will never be together? He is in love with Gwen. They are getting married. Let me read the card.” Whitney read the card very carefully.
“Well Whitney, what do you say now?”
“I say you are still dreaming. The person who sent the flowers did not sign their name. It could be from anybody. It could be from a family member.”
“Oh Whitney, get real. A family member is not going to call me My Love.”
“Oh, but Ethan will?”
“As a matter of fact, that’s what he called me this morning at his private beach house that we stayed at all night, and woke up in each other’s arms this morning.”
“What! How did you and Ethan get together last night? Where was Chuck? Is this the plan that you and Chuck were working on?”
“Yes, Whit! And it worked like a charm. Ethan told me he loves me and he kissed me over and over again last night.”
Whitney sat down on the couch and looked up at Theresa. “So the flowers could be from Ethan?”
“Yes Whitney who else? I knew fate would bring us together someday, but I never dreamed it would be on my birthday. Wow! What a present.”
“No! No! Theresa what about Gwen? What is she going to do about this?”
“There is nothing she can do but admit defeat. Ethan loves me now, and she’s just going to have to get over it.”
“Sorry to burst your bubble Theresa, but there is no way Gwen Hotchiss is going to let Ethan go without a fight. You’re just asking for trouble.”
“Whit, don’t worry. Ethan and I are together now, and nothing will ever go wrong again. Now lets find a vase for my beautiful flowers.”

Back at the Crane’s Mansion
****************
“Gwen what are you talking about? You know whom what is?”
“Ethan don’t play dumb. I know it’s your father that’s got you so jumpy. But don’t worry, I’ll take care of you my darling. Things will work out between you and your father, don’t worry.” Gwen put her arms around her perfidious boy friend and hugged him tightly.
Just at that moment Pilar walked in.
“Hi Ms. Gwen, welcome home.”
“Oh hi Pilar. Just giving my boyfriend here a little pep talk.”
Pilar smiled at Gwen, and then addressed Ethan. “Master Crane I was wondering if I could leave early today. Mi hija’s birthday is today, and we’re giving her a party tonight.”
“So that’s what was so special about today.” Ethan murmured under his breath.
“What did you say darling?” Gwen asked.
“Oh nothing, I said what a special day for her.”
Pilar continued. “Well, I wanted to get going so I could finish the decorations at the house.”
“Oh sure Pilar, go right ahead.”
“If you and Ms. Gwen would like to come, you are more than welcome.”
“Oh no Pilar, thank you anyway. Tell Theresa we said Happy Birthday.” Ethan said in a hurry.
Pilar thanked Ethan once again, and left.
“Why don’t you want to go to Theresa’s party Ethan?”
“Well first of all, you just got back and I thought you might want to go to dinner.”
“Oh Ethan, you are so sweet. I would love to go to dinner tonight.”
Gwen put her arms around him and kissed him on the lips, and took him by the hand, and led him upstairs to his bedroom.

After Noah left his mom’s shop with a bag in his hand, he went back to his house to relax before going out for the evening. As he walked he daydreamed about seeing Theresa tonight, and her expression when she saw him. (“Happy Birthday Theresa.” “Oh Noah it is so good to see you, I’ve missed you so much.” “I am not going to leave the woman I love ever again.” And the two of them share a very passionate and lingering kiss.)
