Chapter 29: Never Say Never
"So Mr. Summerton what did you find? Does the blood belong to my son Luis and Sheridan Crane?" "I sorry to have to say this Mrs. Fitzgerald, but the blood matched your
son's DNA and the same goes for Ms. Crane." "Oh my God" Pilar screamed as she dropped the phone to the floor. "My son is....de...ad...Oh...noooo..."She cried. Theresa broke down into tears as Miguel grabbed her and comforted her. Everyone was saddened by the horrible news and Sam decided to help Pilar with the funeral arrangements, as did Ethan. Ethan cried as well once he discovered his aunt was really dead. The whole town of Harmony was mourning the deaths of Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald and Sheridan Crane.
Meanwhile back in Paris, Sheridan and Luis were listening to the heartbeat of their baby.
"Listen Luis, that's are baby's heartbeat" Sheridan cried tears of joy as she heard the baby's comforting rhythm. "Yes, it's our baby in there. We created this child that is growing inside of you." He kissed Sheridan's forehead and squeezed her hand gently.
The doctor listened closely to the heartbeat and said "That's odd the rhythm is somewhat duplicated." "What do you mean doctor? Is there a problem with our baby?" Sheridan said panicking.
"Relax Mrs. Fitzgerald, I am sure the baby is fine. I am just going to investigate this further and we should know shortly why the heartbeat is unsteady." "Oh Luis, what if something is wrong with our baby." Sheridan said once the doctor had left the room.
"Sheridan I am sure it's nothing. Everything is going to be okay." Luis said with uncertainty. Sheridan looked at Luis' eyes and knew that as much as she wanted to believe what Luis was saying he had doubts, just as she did.
Back in Harmony, Ethan Crane and Sam Bennett were making all the necessary arrangements for the funeral. Since the bodies will still in storage at the local morgue, they decided to postpone the funeral for a few days. That would give them plenty of time to contact Father Longan and take care of all the necessary details. "Sam, they should be buried together." "I agree Ethan. Those two were very much in love and together their souls can rest in peace."
