Chapter 38: Homecoming
Luis opened the door to the Lopez-Fitzgerald residence while Ethan helped Sheridan take the babies out of there baby seats. "Sheridan I am so happy that you found Luis. I mean look at you, I have never seen you happier." "I know Ethan I am happy. Ethan?"
"Yes Sheridan." "Why did Luis drive us to his mother's house?" "Oh" Ethan said trying to hide his laughter. "I am not sure I think he just wanted to stop and see his family before he heads home with you and the babies." At that moment Brandon smiled at Sheridan. She looked at him and all she could think about was how much Brandon reminded her of Luis. He was so adorable and Marian was so beautiful with her blonde hair and big blue eyes.
As Sheridan and Ethan got the babies out of there seats, Luis ran inside the house to make sure all the preparations were set. He had arranged to throw Sheridan a homecoming party with all her friends and family to celebrate the birth of their beautiful twins. Ethan had arranged with Luis to help stall Sheridan while Luis ran inside and made sure everything was in order. Suddenly, Luis came outside and ran up to Sheridan.
"Ethan you can on inside, and help bring the bags in. I am going to help Sheridan bring our children inside."
"Sure" Ethan said with a smile on his face. "What are you up to Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald?" Sheridan asked with a smile on her face. "Nothing sweetheart I just wanted to show off our beautiful babies to Theresa and Miguel and Mama one more time." "Oh Luis you're incorrigible." The two of them walked up the path headed towards the door as Sheridan carried Brandon and Luis carried Marian in his arms. Luis carefully turned the doorknob and Marian started to cry. "Oh Marian - baby don't cry. Daddy's here. Shhh." Marian started to calm down and Sheridan just watched as Luis soothed his daughter with calming words.
Luis opened the door and came inside he turned on the lights and everyone jumped up and shouted "Surprise" Sheridan was overjoyed and completely shocked that so many of her friends and family had arranged to throw her a surprise homecoming. She looked up at the banner. Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Lopez-Fitzgerald. Your babies are adorable.
She just leaned it toward her husband and said, "Luis was this your idea?" "Yes it was. I wanted to surprise you." "Well you did surprise me, I wasn't expecting this." She kissed Luis on the lips and everyone on the room diverted their attention to the young couple kissing each other. "Awwww" everyone said in unison. Luis just smiled as he broke of the kiss.
"I think we had better great the guests" "I know, but later I get you all to myself and I have another surprise for you." "You mean there's more?" "Um hmm" Luis said nodding his head. "Oh come on Luis what is it?" "Oh Sheridan you'll just have to wait." "Ok Luis, but it had better be worth the wait." "Oh it will be." Luis and Sheridan went of to talk to the guests and show everyone in Harmony there beautiful baby girl and boy.
Meanwhile in some unknown place:
Alistair watched as Julian prepared to destroy Sheridan's happiness despite the fact that he was behind bars. "Oh Julian you won't get away with this. You have done enough damage and you maybe have tried to kill me, but you won't try and kill the one person Sheridan loves. I won't allow it." With that Mr. Crane ordered his driver to take him to the airport immediately. He was going to take a private jet back to Harmony to foil Julian's master plans once and for all. However he feared he would be too late.
Few hours later:
Back at the Lopez-Fitzgerald residence, most of the guests had wandered into the backyard since it was a nice sunny day out. Sam and T.C. were barbequing hamburgers and hotdogs while everyone else enjoyed the afternoon, by talking or dancing. Miguel and Charity were talking with Sheridan. While Luis was talking to his sister Theresa, the party seemed to be a success and everyone was enjoying themselves immensely.
Suddenly, Charity started to have a premonition. "Oh my god Sheridan. Someone is in danger - someone is about to be killed. It's...someone...you love Sheridan...oh my god....Luis....it has to....be....He is in danger...Sheridan." Sheridan started to panic and her face want pale. She searched the garden for Luis and found that he was safe. He was on the other side of the garden talking with his sister Theresa. She breathed a sign of relief and turned her attention back to Charity.
"Charity, Luis is fine he is talking with Theresa and he does not appear to be in any danger. I am sure you just got a chill or maybe...." Just then out of the corner of Sheridan's eye she spotted someone. It appeared to be a figure hiding behind something. She could not quite make out the person's face, but what she could clearly make out was a shiny long black object planted in the man's hand. She gasped as she realized that the person was carrying a gun and he was aiming it right at Luis' chest. "Noooo. Luis look out..." She screamed frantically trying to warn Luis.
