~~~Prologue~~~
Sheridan Crane rolled out of bed on a rainy Thursday morning. "Great another day with Luis" she thought happily. She walked into the kitchen to find Luis cooking breakfast. "Good morning Luis, what are you making" she asked politely. "Morning Sheridan, I'm making ham and cheese omelets, hashbrowns, toast and I made a pot of coffee too" he said and she sat down at the table. The room was filled with complete silence that you could here a pin drop. That's until Luis started to talk. "So what do you wanna do today" he asked." well since it's raining I'm going to clean the house" she answered and he replied "Oh I see" and set her plate in front of her and handed her the cup of coffee. Steam risings from both things, she thanked Luis and dug into her food. "good" he asked. "very good" she said smiling. After breakfast he watched cartoons while she cleaned the living room. Right now she couldn't ask for more as she looked over at the love of her life. He was living with her, but that didn't matter to Luis, she was only just a job in his eyes. When he was finished watching television he turned on the radio. "Sheridan, would you like to dance" he asked "sure". He wrapped his arms around her and smiled as they swayed to the music.
~Lying here with you, Listening to the rain
smiling just to see the smile upon your face
and these are the moments I thank god I'm alive
and these are the moments I'll remember all my life
I found all I've wanted and I could not ask for more
Looking in your eyes and seeing all I need everything you are
Is everything to me and these are the moments I know heaven must exist
and these are the moments I know all I need is this
I have all I've waited for and I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered every dream has come true
Is where I'm meant to be oh ya
and these are the moments I thank god that I'm alive
and these are the moments I'll remember all my life
I've got all I waited for and I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time together
I could not ask for more than this time with you
Every prayer has been answered every dreams has come true
Ya right here in this moment and I could not ask for more~

~~~Chapter 1~~~*The Kiss*
Her head was in the crook of his neck. After the song ended she placed a few kisses on his neck and rubbed his shoulders. He rubbed little circles on her back and smiled. He loved Sheridan with all of his heart but he was way too shy and stubborn to tell her. She stopped rubbing his shoulders and cupped his face in her hands, she placed a gentle kiss on his lips then blurted out "Luis I love you"! His arms dropped to his sides and questioned her. "Did I just hear you correctly" he asked very shocked. "yes Luis you heard me. I love you so much" she whispered smiling, and she kissed him with all the passion inside of her. "Oh Sher, I love you too. I've been way to shy to tell you and I was scared that you didn't feel the same way!" he said, then she kissed him again. "Sheridan, darling we have to stop" he said pulling away. They went and sat on the couch and Sheridan turned the tv on and changed the channel to 36, Lifetime Television For Women. "Sheridan I hate this channel" he complained and she laughed at him. She changed the channel the movie "The Hot Chick" came up. "Luis have you ever watched this movie" she asked and he said no he hadn't, and she left the movie on.
"you'll literally pee your pants" she said. When the movie was done, Luis turned off the tv. "Hunny wasn't that funny" she asked still laughing. "Yes it was pretty funny" he said. She cuddled into his chest and smiled. Life didn't get better than this the man I love loves me back, she thought. "Luis I'm starving" she said getting up" hold on" he whispered and he snaked his arms around her waist and said "let's eat". " what do you want to eat" he asked. "How about spaghetti' she replied and he filled the pan up with water and waited for it to boil. "He's so sweet to me, I never have to do anything" she thought, smiling.

~~~Chapter 2~~~*Promises*
Luis saw her smiling and asked "what are you smiling about beautiful"? "Oh Luis" she sighed. "This is just so perfect having you here with me. Your so sweet, so caring and your willing to do everything for me, without having me lifting a finger. I love you so much" she exclaimed. "Sheridan I love you too, and I promise I'm always going to be here doing things for you. I want to spend the rest of our lives together" he said "Oh Luis I'm so glad you see a future for us" she said and kissed him. The water started boiling and Luis put in the pasta. "Now where were we" he asked walking over to her and kissing her. He moved his lips to his neck and sucked on it, then he accidentally bit it. "Ok Luis now that hurt! what are you trying to do give me a hicki"? she asked laughing. "I'm sorry" he whispered and kissed the spot where he bit her and hugged her.
"Luis, sweetie it's totally fine. I was just kidding" she said. He smiled and went over to the stove and stirred the pasta. The pasta was cooked so he drained it, and she went and dumped the sauce in the pan and also stirred in the freshly chopped mushrooms, onions, and tomatoes. He walked over to her and slipped his arms around her waist. She turned around and placed her head on his shoulders and hugged him. "Luis since it's stopped raining can we go for a walk please"? she asked. "Sher, we can't okay! Just drop it, please don't ask me anymore" he yelled, he was really angry. "Please Luis I won't run away from you" she said with pleading eyes and a pout on her face. "Sheridan no godammit!!! Those hitmen are still after you" He yelled. "Oh Luis your just so unfair" she yelled back. "Oh ya I'm so unfair. Please, the woman I love is trying to sign her own death warrant" He screamed, and walked over to the sink. He dumped it in the pan and mixed the sauce and pasta together. The he took out the garlic bread and placed four slices in the toaster oven. When all the food was done he place a plate in front of Sheridan and a glass of wine. "Thank you" she whispered and he didn't say anything.

~~~Chapter 3~~~*Always*
Half an hour later after washing the dishes she walked into the living room and sat beside Luis on the couch. "Luis I'm sorry I..." she started to say but he cut her off. "No Sher, listen I'm the one that's sorry I shouldn't have snapped at you like that" he said. "Luis don't worry about it ok" she whispered and cuddled into his chest. "Look Sheridan, It's not that I don't want to take you out. but I won't take a chance of losing you. The thought of losing you makes me wanna die! We still have a lot of things to live for. I mean getting married, having children, grandchildren. I can't live without you, you’re the other half that completes me" he said starting to cry. "Oh Luis, Please don't cry" she whispered wiping his tears away and placing a gentle kiss on his lips. "I'm going to take a shower, I look like a mess. I mean it's already 1:30 and I'm still in my pj's' she said getting up and walking to the bedroom. She grabbed a pair of jeans and a red sweater, then grabbed a bra and a pair of panties.
Then she walked into the bathroom. She turned on the radio shower, then turned on the water. She undressed then jumped in. Meanwhile in the living room Luis was thinking I wish I was that water. He smiled and decided to join her, but first he would ask for her permission. So he walked into the bathroom and called out her name. "yes Luis" she said her head peeking out. "would you mind if I joined you" he asked shyly. "Sure, baby" she said without thinking about it. She watched him while he undressed and she smiled at what she saw, Luis's sixpack. "hurry it up" she said impatiently and she pulled him in with his shirt on. "I couldn't wait any longer" she whispered, he closed the space between them and kissed her. Then they heard the song Always starting to play. Then he whispered "I love this song, Theresa plays it all the time". She went and turned up the volume and wrapped her arms Luis's shoulders and placed her head on his shoulders and he wrapped his arms around her waist.
~Girl you are to me all that a woman should be and I dedicate my love to you always
A love like ours is rare
The love looks like it must have been sent from up above

~~~Chapter 4~~~*All My Life*
Sheridan and Luis kissed throughout the whole song, then Sheridan pulled up for air. "Luis I have to tell you something when we get out of here" she said. "Ok" was all he replied. They both washed their bodies and hair, then they got out. Sheridan got dressed and Luis stayed in the towel. They went and sat on Sheridan's bed and she started to speak. "Luis, you know I love you more than life itself. But I've thought a lot about what I'm about to say. I've waited all of my life for someone like you, someone who doesn't use me for my money, name, or power but who loves me for me. I mean your just so caring and considerate of others. And your also very sexy sitting here in a towel. But...I can't date you anymore.
Our lives would get just totally messed up with Julian and everyone else" she said trying to hold back her tears. What she was saying was a total lie she would never break up with Luis, but Julian and Alistar, before he went to jail, well they had warned her before that if she ever dated Luis that he would be killed no doubt. "Sheridan I've waited all my life to find my soul mate and now that I've finally found her she's telling me that she can't be with me. Are you afraid of a goddam fight Sher"? he yelled. "Luis I.." she started but he interrupted. "You know what Sheridan Crane you just don't want to fight for our relationship because you’re a rich, powerful Crane who doesn't need a poor cop like me! Your just a selfish bitch Sheridan" He screamed and walked out of the room.
Once the door closed she bursted out into tears, she laid down on her bed. "God if my mom were alive I wouldn't have to fight for Luis" she thought as she soaked her pillow with tears. In the living room Luis sat on the couch full dressed with his head in his hands crying. He had to get out of there and go for a walk or something. So he picked up the phone and called Crane security. Mike, head of security, came to the cottage five minutes later. "Hey Luis" Mike said walking through the door. "Hi" he said and walked to the bedroom door and said "Sher I'm going out, Mike's here ok". "Whatever" she yelled and he left.

~~~Chapter 5~~~*I Finally Found Someone*
Luis walked into the Book Café and walked over to the counter. "Yo Luis, what up" Chad Harris asked. "Same old Shit" Luis answered. " Ya I can relate so what can I get you" he asked. "Two cappuccinos and two blueberry muffins" Luis replied, Chad gave him the drinks and food and he paid. Luis was about to walk out the door when Beth Wallace walked up to him. "Hey Luis" Beth said batting her eyelashes at him flirtatiously. Luis laughed to himself. "Hey Beth, sorry to run but I have to get back to Sheridan" he said walking out, and of course she was mad when he mentioned Sheridan's name. "stupid blonde bitch" she thought. He turned the car on and "I Finally Found Someone" by Bryan Adams popped up.
He arrived at Sheridan's cottage and walked in. "Hey Mike where's Sheridan" he asked "She hasn't left her room. Well Since your home I'm gonna go, see you later man" mike replied. "bye" Luis said and walked toward Sheridan's bedroom, he knocked on the door and asked "Sher, can I come in"? "No"! she yelled. He ignored her and opened the door. He took one look at her and felt really bad. She looked up at him. "I thought I told you that you couldn't come in" she said. "Sheridan I have to apologize" he said and handed her the coffee and muffin.
"Thank you" she whispered, her eyes were all red and puffy from crying. "Sheridan I love you and I never meant to call you a selfish bitch. Most of all I never intended to make you cry" he told her sincerely. "Thank you for the apology and I'm going to forgive you because I love you and I want us to be together forever. You’re my soul mate and I'm not letting go of you without a fight. I'm going to do whatever it takes to be with you" she said and leaned closer to Luis, their faces only inches apart. He closed the distance between them and kissed her. She wrapped her hands around his neck and pulled him down on top of her. He brought his lips down to her neck and moved his hands to her jeans. He was about to unbutton them when he stopped her.

~~~Chapter 6~~~*I swear*
"Stop Luis" she whispered. "Oh Sheridan I'm sorry, you probably think I was going to take advantage of you" he said and she smiled. "Luis do you actually think I'd let you have me if I didn't want you to"? she asked. "But I thought.." he started "Luis if were actually going to do this we need protection" she said staring at him. "Oh shit I forgot protection! I wouldn't want you to get pregnant". he said. I don't mind getting pregnant but I guess he does, she thought to herself. "Sher, what's the matter" he asked. "Nothing, just go and get some condoms from the pharmacy" she said. "Alright Sher I'll be back in 15 minutes ok" he said walking out the door. While he was gone she lit candles all around the room and she sprinkled red, pink, and white rose pedals on the bed. She undressed out of her jeans and shirt into a silk robe, and she was left naked underneath.
She heard the front door open and she ran to the bed and laid in the middle with a rose in between her teeth. ~I Swear~ by All 4 One was floating through the room. Luis walked in and smiled. She looked so beautiful laying on the bed. She never has looked more cute, he thought. He went up to her and took the rose out of her mouth and replaced the rose with his lips. She moved her hands to the bottom of his shirt and she slowly took it off and threw it across the room. Luis moved his lips to her neck and sucked in the sweet sensation of Sheridan as he did that she raked her nails across his back. Luis slid off her robe and was surprised when he found her bare naked underneath. She unbuttoned his jeans and slid them off along with his boxers. Sheridan slipped on the condom for him and he entered her slowly and they began exploring new worlds together as one, as one soul combined.

~~~Chapter 7~~~*Oh No*
Sheridan awoke the next morning and looked up at Luis. She smiled thinking of the perfect night they had last night, he was so gentle towards her. Just then the phone began to ring. "Hello" Sheridan said into the phone. "Good morning Ms.Crane Can I speak to Officer Lopez-Fitzgerald please" Hal Freeman asked and she woke up Luis. "Hey Hal what's up" Luis asked. "Roger and Pierre have been spotted in Harmony so please be on the look out and keep an eye on Ms.Crane" Hal ordered and both men hung up their phones. "Luis baby, what's the matter" she asked. "Hun both Pierre and Roger are in Harmony" he said. "Oh that's just great" she said under her breath. "Come on let's get dressed and I'll cook us breakfast" he said. Both got dressed and walked to the kitchen. "So what would you like" he asked, his arms wrapped around her waist. "nothing, you just eat" she whispered. "Are you sure" he asked and she nodded her head.
He made a bagel for himself and turned on the coffee machine, then sat at the table with her. "Oh Luis, last night was so incredible"! Sheridan exclaimed happily. "Yes it was, it was perfect" he replied. All of a sudden they heard glass shatter in the living room. "Sher stay here" he whispered grabbing his gun and jogging to the living room quietly. He pointed his gun at both guys. "Freeze, drop your guns or your dead! Sher get in here" he yelled and she came running. "Baby call Hal and tell him we caught these son of a bitches" he told her never taking his eyes off these guys.
15 minutes later FBI agents were arresting both Roger and Pierre. "Oh Luis, thank god this is over" she sighed. "Ya that's true, I just want to get back to my old life without these guys in it" he said and Sheridan frowned. "Sher what's the matter" he asked. "When you go back to your old life will I be apart of it" she asked sadly. "Of course sweetie and guess what me and you have a whole week to spend together I just got a paid vacation and I made detective"! he said through smiles. "Oh Luis that's great"! she said.

~~~Chapter 8~~~*Truly, Madly, Deeply*
3 weeks had passed and the trial was a week ago. The truth had come out that Ethan was Sam Bennet's son not Julian's. But Sheridan thought of him as her nephew still and Luis thought of Ethan as a Crane and not a Bennet. Sheridan and Luis were in the Book Café. Sheridan was looking through a bridal magazine while Luis went and got refills. Oh I hope Luis and I get married one day, she thought. She looked over at her boyfriend and smiled, oh god Beth was flirting with him again. Next thing Sheridan knew Luis was kissing Beth. She grabbed her purse and coffee and ran out the door. "Sheridan" Luis yelled pulling away from Beth. "Luis how can you love her she's such a bitch. She thinks she's better than everyone else just because she's rich"! Beth said. "Beth how can you kiss me knowing that I'm in love with Sheridan and only her.You know what Beth go to hell ok, I love her and if you can't accept that, which I know you can't, well then fuck off then ok"!
Luis screamed running off to find Sheridan. He found her crying outside on the bench. "Sheridan, I'm sorry. Let me explain, please" he asked. "Explain what you stupid prick? How could you, I thought you loved me" she said loudly. "Sheridan I love you, and it wasn't what it looked like. She kissed me and I yelled at her for it"! he said wrapping his arms around her shoulders."Come on I wanna go home. It's already 5:30" she said looking down at her watch. They drove to the cottage, the car filled with complete silence. He walked her to the door and before she went in he said "I'm going to sleep at mama's tonight because I guess you don't want to talk to me" and walked down the stairs. "No Luis don't, I want you to stay. Will you" she asked flashing him on of her beautiful smiles.
"Sure" he said and both walked into the house. She went to the kitchen and he turned on the stereo. When she came back, he grabbed her by the waist. "Would you like to dance" he asked. "yes" was all she said.
~I'll be your dream I'll be your wish I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love I'll be your everything
I'll love you more with every breath truly, madly, deeply
I'll be faithful, cuz I'm counting on a new beginning
A reason for living, a truth for the meaning yeah
And I wanna stand with you on a mountain, I wanna bathe with you in the sea
And I wanna lay like this forever until the sky falls down in me
And when the stars are shining brightly in the velvet sky
I'll make a wish and make you want to cry tears of joy
And were surrounded by the comfort and protection
of the highest powers and in the highest hours as tears devour you
I wanna stand with you on a mountain, I wanna bathe with you in the sea,
And I wanna lay like this forever until the sky falls down on me
Oh can you see it baby, don't have to close your eyes
I'm just standing right there before you, all that you need will surely come
I'll be your dream, I'll be your wish, I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be everything you need, I'll love you more
with every breath truly madly, deeply do
I wanna stand with you on a mountain, I wanna bathe with you in the sea
and I wanna lay like this forever until the sky falls down on me~

~~~Chapter 9~~~*I'll Be*
The song ended and both Luis and Sheridan were still swaying to the music. "I love you Ms.Crane" he whispered. "and I love you to detective" she said and placed a kiss on his cheek. They went and sat on the couch, she was listening to Shania Twain's "Your Still The One". Sheridan smiled as her thoughts moved to Luis, she imagined singing this to him.Luis had always been the one and he still is her one true love and soul mate. "Just how you've always been my one true love and you still are. I'm so glad we're together" she said and gave him a kiss."Sweetheart I'll be the one forever" he exclaimed bringing her close to his chest and hugging her.*Ring,Ring,Ring* "I'll get it" she whispered. "Hello" "Hey Sheridan, it's Theresa" "What can I do for you hun" Sheridan asked. "Well I was wondering if you and my brother would like to come to dinner with Ethan and I at the Lobster Shack"? "Sure Theresa, what time" "7 ok" Theresa said.
"Ok bye" "Bye" and both hung up. "What's that all about" Luis asked. "Well your sister asked if you and me would like to go to dinner, and I said yes" she answered. "Ok well it's quarter of 6 and you better start getting ready now, you take a long time to get ready" he said and he earned a playful slap in the arm." fine I'm going to take a shower" she said and walked away. Almost an hour later they left the house. "Hey Theresa, Ethan" Sheridan said while hugging both of them. "hi Sheridan, hi Luis" both Ethan and Theresa said. The waiter escorted them four of them to their table and ten minutes later they ordered. "Ok Theresa why did you invite Sheridan and I to dinner"? Luis asked knowing there was a catch. "Well Ethan would you like to do the honors" Theresa asked and he nodded. "Well I've asked Theresa to marry me and she said yes" he said happily. "Oh my gosh congratulations both of you" Sheridan exclaimed.
Luis just sat there shocked. His little baby sister that he'd practically raised was getting married, and to a Crane. The food came, they all ate and then paid their bills. "Bye Ethan, bye Theresa. Again congratulations" Sheridan said and walked to her car. On the way home there was nothing but silence When we get home all hell was going to break loose, she thought. "Luis why the hell ain't you happy for your sister. She deserves all the happiness in the world and my nephew can give her that.she yelled. "Oh ya I'm so relieved that a goddamn Crane can make her happy. Oh please what kind of bullshit.
For all I know he could be like his dear old dad and go cheat on my sister" he screamed."Luis if you won't let Theresa marry Ethan, then why the hell am I thinking we have a future together" she said tears slipping down her cheeks. "Sher that's not what I said ok, I love you.." he started. "No you only love when we have sex, and your probably just using me for my name, money, and power. Oh I get to date Sheridan Crane, the vulnerable little woman. Look Luis just get out ok" She yelled and he walked out her door.

~~~Chapter 10~~~*The Apology*
She sat there on her floor, on her knees crying. Luis would never me because I'm a Crane, she thought and cried even more. God, I need someone to talk to. Pilar wasn't in the main house either were Ivy or Ethan so she chose her last choice Julian. "Hello" Julian aid answering his phone. "Hi Julian it's Sheridan,look I need someone to talk to, do you think you can come down here' she asked. "sure, be down there in 5 ok" he answered and she was surprised when he said that. "Ok thanks" she replied and put her phone back down on the charger. She loved her brother now, he had changed into a caring, very caring man. Now, thankfully Julian was not a nasty pervert anymore! Now they had a real brother and sister relationship, because Alistar was in jail. He had laid off the brandy, and has been sober for 10 months. Wow, he even changed his wardrobe from suites to jeans and t-shirts. Then there was a knock on the door.
"Come in" she said and her brother walked in. "What's the matter Sher" he asked in a real concerned voice. "Luis and I had a fight. I ruin everything that's great in my life" she said crying and he put his arms around her shoulders and soothed her. "Now about Luis, what happened"? he asked and she told him the story. "Sheridan I think Luis wants to marry you even though you’re a Crane. Don't let true love pass, look at what happened with Eve and me. We lost each other almost 25 years ago when I had to marry Ivy, but even though we're together now I wish I would've spent my whole life with her.
Being married to her and having children with her, and now we find out that Chad's our son." he said sadly. "Well what should I do" she asked. "Sheridan, dear don't let true love pass by. Go and make up with Luis, he's the best thing that ever happened to you" Julian said. "Alright I'll be back" she said running out the door. She got in her car and turned on the radio. The song "One More Try" by Stevie B. came on, and of course she thought of her and Luis. She got to Luis's house and walked to the door, and knocked lightly. "Hi Sher" Luis said, opening the door. "Luis I had to come over and apologize" she whispered as they walked walked into the house.
"Sheridan hunny, no need to apologize. I love you and as I was going to say before you rudely interrupted me at your cottage of course I wanna marry you even thought you’re a Crane" he told her. "I'm glad" she said happily and placed a kiss on his cheek. "C'mon what do you say, are you going to come back home"? she asked. "Of course darling" he answered, just then Pilar walked in. "Hello Luis, Sheridan. Luis are you staying here tonight" his mother asked him. "No mama" he answered, they said their goodbyes and Sheridan and Luis headed home. "Luis I'm going to bed" she said while walking through the door. "Oh hey Julian, you stayed"
Sheridan said finally noticing her brother."Sheridan of course I stayed, and you got Luis back that's great"! he exclaimed. "Ya I did thank you for giving me the advice" she said hugging her brother."Ok now that everything is fine, I'm going to go home" Julian said and gave Sheridan a kiss on the cheek, shook Luis's hand and left. Luis locked the door and turned off all the lights, and headed for bed. He smiled at the sight on the bed, his angel was already asleep. How could I've let her go so easily, he asked himself. But he thanked god they were back together, and he fell asleep with Sheridan against his chest.

~~~Chapter 11~~~*The Ring*
Luis awoke the next morning and looked at the clock it was almost 10, thankfully Sheridan was still asleep. He got up and got dressed, then hurried to the mall. He was walking to the jewelry store when someone called his name. he turned around and saw his sister and Ethan."Hey Luis, what are you doing here? You hate this place." Theresa said. "Can you both keep your mouth's shut"? and both nodded their heads yes. "Well I'm here to buy an engagement ring for Sheridan, I'm proposing to her tonight" Luis told them with a big grin plastered across his face. "Luis you make my aunt very happy, and I know she'll say yes" Ethan said. "Can we go with you to see what kind of ring you pick out" she asked. "Sure, why not" Her brother said and the 3 walked to the jewelry store. "How about this one" Theresa asked pointing to a huge rock(think J.Lo's engagement ring).
"Theresa sweetie, Sheridan is simple. She doesn't like big rings like that" Ethan told his fiancé. "How about this one" Luis asked pointing to a ring. It wasn't to big and it wasn't too small. "Oh that's cute, Luis" Theresa said admiring the ring. "Excuse me, miss" Luis called to the saleslady. "Yes sir" she asked. "I'm going to take this ring" Luis told her. "Ok sir, that's going to be $1,075.00 please" The saleslady said and he handed her his credit card. Theresa's cell phone began ringing so she hurried to answer it. "Hello" "Hey Theresa it's Sheridan. I was wondering since Luis isn't here, if you would like to go shopping with me" she asked.
"Ok sure I'm already at the mall because Ethan had to buy a suit. When are you leaving" Theresa asked. "When I get off the phone with you" she answered. "Ok Sheridan, meet me in the food court ok. bye" "Bye". "Ethan I'm not going to go home with you. Sheridan and me are going to meet up is that ok"? she asked. "Theresa you don't have to ask for my permission, sweetheart. Go and have fun! I'm so glad you and my aunt get along. I'll see you later ok, I love you" He said and gave her a quick kiss goodbye. "Uh Luis, get out of here. Just in case Sheridan see's you cover your bag with this" she said handing him another bag. "Ok sis, I'll talk you later. Hey ask Ethan, Julian, Eve and mama if they wanna go to the Seascape tonight. If they do, be there at 6 or 6:30" he said. "Alright bro, bye" she aid and walked to the food court. " hey Theresa" Sheridan said hugging her. "Hi Sheridan, let's go shopping" she answered. After 3 hours at the mall, both went to their homes.

~~~Chapter 12~~~*Wifey*
"Hey hunny" Sheridan said coming through the door with 10 bags in one hand and a coffee in the other. "Hey baby, jeeze don't you think you have enough bags" he asked. "Hey I have more in the car" she said smiling and laughed when he said just great. She went and got the other bags and while she was gone he peeked through the Victoria's Secret one. "Hey get out of there! Don't worry I have something for you in there too" she said and brought all of her bags to the bedroom. While she was in there he turned the tv and watched Jenny Jones, that shit was so hilarious. He started laughing at the strippers on that show. She came out of from their room and asked "Luis what's so funny"? "Look at the tv" and she did "Oh god" she whispered. "Oh Sher I forgot to tell you. I made reservations at the Seascape for us at 6 and that's if you want to go" he told her. "Sure I wanna go, but fist I wanna take a little nap" she answered. "Ok I'll go with you" he said and both walked to the bedroom, he set the alarm clock for 4:45 and then fell asleep with his soon to be fiancé in his arms. An hour later the alarm when off and both got up. "Luis go take a shower first" she said.
"Oh no, your going first you take a long time getting ready" he said and she agreed. She came out a half an hour later dripping water everywhere and then he took his shower. Luis came out of the bathroom 20 minutes later showered and his hair all done. 20 minutes later they headed for the restaurant. They arrived and the waitress seated them. Luis looked around for Julian, Ethan, Eve, his sister and mother, he found them sitting in the corner and waved. Sheridan turned around to see who Luis was waving at and she saw them and waved too."Hi I'm Diane and I will be your waitress tonight. Since it's Saturday there is a dj tonight, and the dance floor is all open. Now what can I get you both to drink" she asked. "May we have a bottle of Pinot Grigio, please"? Luis asked. "Sure" Diane said.
"Ok anything else like appetizers, soups, salads. "I'll have a caesar salad and we'll get the fried calamari for an appetizer" Sheridan answered. "Can you make that two caesar salads please" Luis asked and the waitress nodded her head. Almost an hour later they got there food and ate it. When they were both done he asked "Would you café to dance, Ms.Crane"? "Sure, darling". She answered and got up, and he led them both to the dance floor. The song they were playing now was wifey, which Luis had requested. Luis was a fabulous fast dancer for a guy, she thought. In the middle of the song he got down on one knee and she gasped. Everyone turned and looked their way. "Sheridan you know I love you and I wanna spend forever with you. Not as boyfriend and girlfriend but as husband and wife. Will you marry me, baby"? he asked, tears welled up in her eyes as she paused.

~~~Chapter 13~~~*Incomplete*
She looked at the man below her and smiled. Without this man in her life she'd feel incomplete, everyone in the restaurant was waiting for an answer. "Oh Luis, I would love nothing more than to be your wife" she yelled and threw her arms around his neck. He slipped the ring on her finger and leaned in for a passionate kiss. Everyone cheered for the newly engaged couple. Julian and the rest of the gang came over to the happy couple and congratulated them, and left. The next song came on, it was a a slow one and Luis pulled Sheridan close to him as they swayed to the soft music.
~Bright lights, fancy restaurants. Everything in this world
that a man could ever want. Got a bank account bigger
than the law should allow, still I'm lonely now.
Pretty faces from covers of their magazines
From their covers to my covers want to lay with me
Fame and fortune still can't find just a grown man runnin outta time
Although it seems I have everything, I don't wanna be a lonely fool
All of the women, all of the expensive cars, all the money don't amount to you
So I can make believe I have everything, But I can't pretend
that without you girl, my life is incomplete
Listen, your perfume, your sexy lingerie girl I remember it
Just like it was yesterday. A Thursday ago you had told me you had fallen in love
I wasn't sure I was, it's been a year winter, summer, spring and fall
But being with you ain't living at all. If I could travel back in time
that days you were mine, I just can't help loving you.
But I love you too much, too late. Id give anything and everything.~
**Sisquo-Incomplete**
He kissed the top of her head and smiled, without her in his life he'd be incomplete and have no reason to live. "I love you" she whispered to him. "I love you too, and I can't wait to get home and show you" he said winking at her. "How about we leave now" she suggested, he didn't answer he just pulled her off the dance floor. "Come on let's pay the bill and leave" he said as they hurried to where the cash register was."Here you go" Luis said handing the waitress the bill. "Excuse me can we have a half a dozen of chocolate covered strawberries and a half dozen of white chocolate covered please"
Sheridan asked. "Sure mam, but they're on us" the lady said. They paid there bill, grabbed their strawberries and left. Luis drove quickly, but first he made a stop at the beach. They got out of the car and they walked to the pier over looking the ocean and sand. She looked down and smiled. In big letters it said I LOVE YOU SHERIDAN CRANE. "Oh Luis, how did you do this" she exclaimed. "Well your nephews helped me" Luis told her, he wa actually starting to like Ethan and think of him as Sam's son. "Well I'm going to have to thank Chad and Ethan(she still thought of him as a nephew) tomorrow, but tonight I just want to concentrate on us" she whispered as she placed a kiss on his luscious Latin lips. they stayed for a little while and left in a hurry.

~~~Chapter 14~~~*I'd Be Lost Without You*
Sheridan smiled as they drove to the cottage. "Luis, I'm moving out of here as soon as can" she said. "Sheridan don't think about anything else, except what were going to do tonight" he whispered and all dirty thoughts rushed to her head and she blushed. He got out of the truck and went and opened the door for her. "Thank you Luis" she said and kissed him, they walked to the door still lip locked. On the way to the door, Luis shirt got thrown into the bushes and she smiled against his lips. It was his turn now, he unbuttoned her shirt and threw it down the stairs. He unlocked the door and kicked it open. "Oh Luis, make love to me" she moaned as he picked her up in his arms. She kissed Luis lips as he walked to turn on the lights. Once he flicked on the lights everyone yelled "surprise"! "Jesus Christ" Luis yelled as he and Sheridan blushed. "Nice entrance" Theresa said, both her brother and his fiancé rushed to get their shirts back on. They came back in looking presentable.
"All the guys got a peek at my hooters" Sheridan said, sticking her head in the crook of Luis's neck. Everyone laughed at the couple. "What, we just couldn't wait to make love" Luis said truthfully and smiling, the party started to come together. Everyone was enjoying themselves so far. "Sheridan don't worry your hooters are cute" Sam said pulling her against him and winking at Luis. "Think we have any chance baby" he whispered into her ear. "Well you know sweetheart, I'm suppose to be engaged to some guy. But.. I think I like you more" she said seriously, wrapping her arms around Sam's neck. "I'm just playing, congratulations" He finally said smiling and she smiled back. "Ya I know you were kidding Sam, and thanks "she said. "Yes congratulations you two. You both deserve to be happy" Ivy said wrapping her arms around her husband, Sam's, waist. "So everyone how about some music" Theresa screamed.
"Now there's my girl! Crank up the stereo" Sheridan yelled. Both her and Luis went to change and came back 5 minutes later. The song that everyone was starting to jam to was Tootsie Roll by 69 boyz, it just began to play. Sheridan and Luis started grinding right away. Everyone circled around them and cheered. "Go Sheridan" Hank yelled at Sheridan dipped all the way down to the floor, and when she came back up Luis cupped her big booty in his hands. The couple moved to the side and let Theresa and Ethan have a turn. "Go Theresa" Sheridan yelled noticing that her moves rubbed off on her fiancé's little sister and her boyfriend. On the side of Sheridan was Pilar.
"Jesus, I didn't raise my kids to be this dirty, and do these distasteful moves!" she whispered in Spanish. The song switched to Picture by Sheryl Crow and Kid Rock. Luis went to reach or Sheridan but she was already in Sam's arm so he decided to go the kitchen and get a beer. "Sheridan your going to make Luis really happy, hell you've already made him happy, your just going to make him even happier. Ever since he's been with you, he's been different. You've softened him up, he's a real softy now. He's just such a sap." Sam said as they danced. "What do you mean I've softened him up"? she asked, her mind filled with curiousity.
"Well you know how you and him were just grinding, and then when Theresa was grinding with Ethan. Her ass in his hands, he would've never let that happen. But I guess he knew that you were doing the same thing to him so he didn't open his mouth. I think everyone was waiting for him to stop Theresa and my son." he explained and she nodded her head in agreement. Once the song ended she went to find Luis. She found him sitting on the kitchen counter, drinking a beer. She came and stood between his legs. "Hey how come you left" she asked. "Well you had a dance partner already, and I wanted a drink" he said. "Luis what's the matter?
Are you mad that I was dancing with Sam"? she asked. "No I'm not mad, I just wanted it to be us tonight" he said. "Sweetheart we have all night to be alone, it's only 9." she said and leaned up and gave him a passionate kiss. She let her tongue slip out and run across his lips, begging for access and he gave it to her. As their tongues dueled, they never noticed the two figures standing in the doorway. One of them coughed, Sheridan and Luis still didn't pull apart. The lady coughed again and finally the couple pulled apart breathless.

~~~Chapter 15~~~*Alone At Last*
"What is this the VIP party" Hank, Gwen's husband, asked. "Sorry guys" Sheridan said blushing. "It's alright, we just have to get use to it" Gwen said. "Hank, you want a beer man"? Luis asked his best bud, and Hank nodded his head. "Girls" he asked. "Can I just have a Smirnoff Ice, Luis" she asked her fiancé "Oh me too, please" Gwen said, and Luis handed them each a Smirnoff Ice. Two hours later, they were saying goodbye to their last guests, Hank and Gwen. "So darling, alone at last. Finally"! she exclaimed and wrapped her arms around his neck.
"Yes, finally! I hope your not tired" he asked, kissing her neck and she moaned when he started sucking on it. "Not a chance. I want you" she whispered leading him to their bedroom. He turned on the radio that sat on the nightstand and "Let's Make Love" by Tim McGraw and Faith Hill came on. She starting unbuttoning his shirt, kissing every new exposed area. Then he started on her shirt, after minutes of exploring each others bodies he laid on top of her. In one swift movement he was buried inside of her.
"open your eyes, beautiful" he whispered, they stayed at a slow pace til they couldn't go anymore. He rolled off of her and laid on his side, staring at her. "I love you Luis" she said and placed a butterfly kiss on his cheek. "And I love you future Mrs. Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald" he whispered smiling. "Oh Luis, that name sounds so perfect. But I wanna tell you something" she said. "Ok go ahead, baby" he said. "Well I can't wait to be your wife...maybe" she paused. "Sweetheart, maybe what? Tell me" he demanded, in a sweet voice. "Well do you think we could fly to Vegas tomorrow and elope, and in a few months we'll have a big church wedding here" she offered. "Hunny, that's a great idea! I'll see if I can take Monday and Tuesday off. Now that's get some sleep" he said and pulled her close. "Ok goodnight" she whispered and both fell asleep, dreaming of what the next two days would bring them.

~~~Chapter 16~~~*Sin City Baby, here we come*
Morning came and once Sheridan opened her eyes she jumped out of bed. It was already 7:30 and she had to wake up Luis. "Luis wake up, it's already 7:30" she whispered, and he woke right up. "Luis I gotta call the Crane Pilot and tell him to have the jet fueled and ready ok. Go take a shower" she said and he did as he was told. As he was in the shower she called the pilot, the jet would be ready and fueled in and hour. Now she was going to call Gwen and Hank. "Hello, what the hell do you want so early in the morning" came Gwen's sleepy voice from the other line. "Gwen it's Sher. Luis and I are eloping today, don't tell anyone! Would you and Hank like to come with Luis and me to Vegas" Sheridan asked her best friend. "Hold on Sher, let me ask my husband" she said and she asked Hank. "Sheridan, he said hell ya. When's the plane leaving"? she asked.
"Well we're taking the Crane jet and it will be ready in an hour. So Luis and I will pick you up in about 45 minutes is that ok" Sher asked. "Yup, that's fine see you later bye" Gwen said and hung up her phone. She packed some clothes for her and Luis really fast. Then walked into the bathroom and hopped in the shower. "Luis can you get out so I can take a quick shower? After your dressed and everything can you go to LasVegas.com and book a two-bedroom suite at the Tropicana, please. Just put it on my credit card, the Crane money has to be put into good use. Oh and call Sam to see if you can have Monday and Tuesday off." she said.
"Sure sweetie, anything fro you" he said and gave her a quick kiss. An hour later all luggage and four passengers were loaded. "Oh I can't believe we're getting married Tomorrow" Sheridan exclaimed. "Well Sher, you better believe" Luis said while smiling at her and kissed her. "Jeeze you guys are acting like your already married" Gwen exclaimed laughing at her two best friends. "Yes, I believe my wife is right, for once" Hank said and earned a swat in the arm from his wife. "Hey I'm always right" she said smirking. 5 1/2 hours later they arrived at the airport in Vegas.
"Hell ya we're in sin city" Gwen yelled walking out of the plane. "Ya and that means tonight, sweetie, we're hitting the strip clubs. Tonight we're going to have a little party" Gwen whispered in her friends ear and Sheridan smiled. The girls went to the Limo to get the driver, to help the guys get the luggage. "We're staying at the Tropicana" Sheridan told Tim, the driver.
15 minutes later they were checking in. "Hi reservations for Crane" she said. "Ok, the two-bedroom suite. Here are your two keys" The front desk clerk said. "Thank you" Sheridan said and the four, went upstairs to their room. "Oh my gosh, this apartment is so awesome" Hank said coming back downstairs to the living room. Luis and Sheridan walked to their room. "Wow, this room is huge. Look at this bathroom, oh ya a Jacuzzi tub. I've come prepared, I brought bubbles". She said and kissed him. The couple walked back to the living room. "So what are we going to do" Hank asked. "Well I'm hungry I don't know if anyone else is.
Then we can go exploring, and tonight Sheridan and I have plans. Sorry Luis, she's taken tonight" Gwen said. "Ok well let's go eat" Luis said and they headed out. They decided to go and eat at Hard Rock Café, then they went shopping at the Venetian, and both couples rode in their own Gondolas. By the time they were done doing all that, it was 7, and they headed back to the hotel. "Ladies, Luis and I are going to go down to the bar, and then gamble or something" Hank said. "Ok bye, have fun boys" Sheridan said. "I know we will" Gwen whispered so that only her and Sheridan heard. "Ok Sher I'm gonna go take a shower and then hurry and do my hair". Gwen said walking upstairs to her room. "Well I just gotta do my hair, because I took a shower this morning" she said and walked to her bathroom to do her hair. Half an hour later both girls left, Gwen had her hair curled and Sheridan wore her hair down straightened, but both of them were in skirts and halter tops.
"Where is this thing at" Sheridan asked, sitting in the drivers seat. "It's at the Riviera, which is a hotel, and the thing is called Men" Gwen said. "Ok but I want a drink first, so I can get into the whole stripper thing" she told her friend. They arrived at the hotel at quarter of 8, they had to hurry and get their drinks because the show started at 8. "Come on Sher, hurry" Gwen said walking to the front row, drink in both ladies hands. When the show started the guys came out in different costumes, dancing around sticking their asses in all the ladies faces. One even rubbed up against Sheridan. "Take her up there, this is her bachelourette party" Gwen yelled, and the guy pulled both her and Sheridan on stage. This would be a night both girls would never forget. But as they danced with these guys, they wished that Hank and Luis were here with them.

~~~Chapter 17~~~*Let's Get married*
Sheridan and Gwen left the show in all giggles. "Gwen thanks for bringing me, this was really fun. But I just want to go back to out hotel and be with our guys" she said and Gwen agreed. They arrived at their hotel and opened their door. When they looked over to their left, the guys were sleeping on the couches.
"Oh Gwen, they look so adorable" she whispered and went over to her fiancé, and Gwen went over to her husband. "Come on guys let's go to bed" both girls whispered, and headed for their bedrooms. Before going to sleep they made love, not knowing that Hank and Gwen were doing the same thing upstairs. "Goodnight Luis, I love you" she whispered as she snuggled up against him.
"I love you too, but do you care to tell me where you guys went tonight" he asked, knowing all too well where they went. Sheridan was going to be honest and she told him. "Gwen took me to see some strippers, one of them stuck their ass in my face, they pulled us on stage and we danced but I wished I was dancing with you" she answered smiling. "I knew where you went I just wanted to see if you would lie to me, and you didn't. I'm glad you could be honest with me, I hope your always like that because I'm always going to be honest with you" he said and kissed her. "I'll always be honest. But right now, we have to go to sleep. I love you" she whispered. "I love you too, goodnight" she said and both fell asleep.
The next morning Luis woke up first and stared at Sheridan. In a few hours they would be husband and wife. He pulled the sheet away from her neck and kissed her, rubbing her all over. "mmm..." she whispered. "Good morning, sweetheart, are you almost ready to get married" he asked sitting up. "No not yet, I'm ready to make love though" she said and brought him on top of her. They made love and just snuggled for a few minutes before getting up to take a shower. "Hold on Luis, before we go take a shower, I have to go and see if they are up" she said putting on a pair of jeans and shirt and running upstairs. Knock, Knock.
"Oh my gosh, Hank stay here I'll go see what they want" Gwen said getting up and running to put in the clothes. " I can never make love to my wife without being interrupted" Hank said loudly. "Ya Sher, what's the matter" Gwen asked sticking her head out the door, and breathing hard. "I'm sorry guys, I just heard Hank. I just wanted to see if you two were up. Luis and I've been up for about an hour doing what you two are doing now" Sheridan said. "Sher, do you think we can leave in like two hours instead of one" Gwen asked. "Ya sure. no problem. I am so sorry though. Luis and I are going to take a shower ok. Don't rush ok, not for us.
See you in two hours" She said and walked back downstairs to her room. "Luis instead of a shower we're going to take a bath" she said and pulled him into the bathroom with her. Two hours later the two couples were off to the wedding chapel. When they got there they had to wait a little while. "Ok Lopez and Crane" the guy announced. "Do you have your witness" he asked. "Yes sir, we have two" Luis replied. Half an hour later, they were pronounced husband and wife. Hours later, they were on their way back to Harmony.

~~~Chapter 18~~~*House Shopping
The jet arrived in harmony at quarter past ten, and they went to get their luggage. "Goodnight Hank, good night Gwen" Sheridan and Luis said, and both headed home. "Luis I'm too tired to unpack tonight, I'll just do it tomorrow" she said as she walked to the bedroom, Luis following her. "Well I guess I'll go to bed too. I want to go house shopping with my beautiful wife tomorrow" he said and both went to bed. The next morning Sheridan awoke with the sun in her face, she was nestled in here sexy husband's arms. She managed to get out of bed without waking Luis, and went to the bathroom. She walked out to the kitchen and cooked french toast, she was a great cook now thanks to Luis. Suddenly right on cue Luis walked in and snaked his arms around her waist. "Good morning Mrs. Lopez-Fitzgerald" he whispered in her ear, causing her to smile. "Good morning to you too" she whispered against his lips before placing a kiss on them. "Come on we have to eat, it's alright 10:30 and I wanna start looking for a house" she said.
They both ate, showered and got dressed. By the time they left the house it was close to 12. Sheridan and Luis looked at maybe about 15 or 20 houses before they found their dream home. It had 2 floors, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms,one on every floor and the basement, the basement was all finished with carpets.But the two floors above were hard wood floors. They immediately fell in love with it and bought it. "Oh Luis, we have to go and celebrate" she said and they went home, and celebrated in bed. 6 weeks had passed Luis had been pulling late shifts every night. But tonight instead of working til 11 he was working til 7. "Ok I have to hurry up" she thought, it was already 6:30 and she hasn't even prepared the meal yet.
"Ok my little bundle of joy, can you be good for mommy please? Don't make me throw up" she said and placed a hand on the bump on her stomach. The lasagna was in the oven and now she had to prepare the salad, it was already quarter past 7 and Luis wasn't home yet. She didn't worry because she just thought that he got caught up in a little work, but he'd be home soon. She chopped up the tomatoes and sliced the cucumbers and tossed them in with the lettuce. She went to light the candles, and then the doorbell rang. She went to the door to see who it was. It was Sam and he was wearing a sad _expression on his face. "Sam what's the matter" she asked worried. "Sher, I don't wanna tell you this but..." he started

~~~Chapter 19~~~*There's Always A Bump In The Road*
Sheridan I'm so stupid. I sent Luis and Hank out to capture three guys that robbed the bank. Hank got a few bruises. But Luis...he...he got shot" Sam explained. "Oh God" Sheridan shrieked and broke down in Sam's arms. How bad is it" She asked between sniffles. "I don't know" he said. "Alright, I have to go change. Can you take the lasagna out of the oven and blow out the candles please" and he nodded his head and she ran upstairs. She threw on her jeans and sweater, she decided to wear who wedding ring out for once in public. She never wore it out before because Luis and her didn't want anyone to know they were already married. But tonight that was going to change. She slipped on her ring, it was a real platinum gold ring.
She remembered the day Luis first slipped it on her finger, tears welled up in her eyes as that moment popped up in her head. She walked downstairs slowly, dreading to see Luis in that hospital bed. 20 minutes later they were running through the ER doors. They was greeted bye everyone from Pilar to Ethan and Theresa to Whitney and Chad to Hank and Gwen. "God pilar, I'm so scared. Have you heard any news"? she asked. "No miha we were waiting for you. Why don't you go and find a doctor" Pilar said. "Ok Pilar" and she went off in search of a doctor.
"Excuse me, can you tell me what's going to happen to my husband" Sheridan asked the doctor. "Who's your husband mam"? he asked. "Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald, can you come and talk to my family too"? she asked and they both walked into the waiting room. "Hello I'm Dr. Joncas, when Luis was brought in here his condition was pretty bad. The bullet as shot close to his heart. We had to get him into surgery asap. He should be out of surgery in a few minutes. But it's going to take almost a half an hour for the nurses to settle him in his room. Two at a time only, please" the Doctor said. "Thank you doctor" they all said. "Sheridan I ant you to go in first, you can go in alone. We don't mind" Pilar said and Sheridan smiled. Half an hour later Sheridan walked down the hall to Luis's room. She pulled the chair the was in the corner to the side of the bad and held her husband's hand.

~~~Chapter 20~~~*Please Wake Up*
"Hey Luis, It's Sheridan your wife" she whispered while moving her thumb across his knuckles. "Please
wake up Luis, I love you. I have something to tell you, I found out this morning. Luis while we were in Las Vegas, we created a life. Luis I'm pregnant, we're going to have the family we've always wanted." she whispered crying. "Now speaking of family I'm going to let your mom come in, I love you babe! Please wake up for me and your unborn baby" she said and placed a kiss on his lips. When she turned around she saw Pilar. "Hi Pilar" she said, hoping her mother in law didn't hear what she just said to her husband. "Sheridan you and my son are married and starting a family already"? Pilar asked. "Yes" she whispered while hanging her head. "Well congratulations, welcome to the family! Go tell everyone else" she said while hugging her daughter in law, and then she walked out to the waiting room. "Everyone I have two announcements to make"
Sheridan said and everyone's ears perked up. "Well Luis and I aren't engaged anymore, we're married. We've been married for 6 weeks and we're expecting our first child" she announced with a big smile on her face. Everyone congratulated her and Theresa and Miguel welcomed her into the family. By 9 o'clock everyone had saw Luis and Sheridan told all of them to go home and get a goodnight's sleep, and that she would stay with her husband. She walked into Luis's room and sat in the chair. She stared at him until she began to get tired, and she fell asleep. The next morning Sheridan woke up she felt someone's hand on top of hers. She looked up and she was looking into the most gorgeous eyes. "Oh my god Luis, your up" she exclaimed and kissed him.
"I'm gonna go get the doctor" she said and ran to get the doctor, she came back a few minutes later. "Luis you look perfectly fine. Like nothing has ever happened to you, but I want to keep you here for a couple of more hours "The doctor said and left. "Luis I have something to tell you" she said sitting in the chair. "Why you sitting there, come and cuddle with me" he whispered and she did. "Ok now tell me" he whispered. "Well I told your family that we're married" she said "and" he asked waiting for an answer. "They welcomed me into the family with open arms.
And now for the big surprise, while we were in Vegas, we conceived our first child." she said happily. "Really Sher"? he asked and she whispered yes, her head hanging low. She didn't know if he'd be happy or not. "I'm going to be a daddy" he shouted, Eve Russell was passing by his room when he shouted. "Luis is everything ok" she asked panicking. "Yes Eve, everything is fine. Sher just told me what I've waited to hear all my life. I'm going to be a daddy"! he said. "Oh Luis, Sheridan congratulations. You two will definitely have a beautiful child and beautiful future children" Eve said an left to check on other patients. That night Luis went hope, and was sent to a week of bed rest, no strenuous activities of any kind. But did he listen? No, he made love to Sheridan the next night.

~~~Chapter 21~~~*Merry Christmas, My Love*
Months had passed and now it was Christmas Eve. Sheridan and Luis decided to get married on Christmas Day in front of their friends and family and in front of God. Sheridan and Luis were relaxing in the bath tub, in their home. "Sheridan do you want to go on a honeymoon"? Luis asked wrapping his arms around her shoulders. "Since we didn't go on one before, I would like to go on one after the baby is born" she said. "Ok, no problem. We'll wait til the baby is born" he said, they stayed like that for a little while until she started to speak. "Luis it's little after 11, we should get out" she said. "Ok ok, yes I know midnight mass" he whispered and he got out first, then helped her out. Luis was sitting on the bed putting his shoes on when he stopped to stare at his wife.
"Sher, you are just so beautiful" he said, send her a million dollar smile. "Thank you Luis. You are just so sweet" she replied and finished doing her make up. After he was done he went and kneeled beside her and slipped his arms around her waist. "I love you" Luis whispered and kissed her passionately, he cupped her face in his hands and let his tongue slip out. He ran his tongue over her lips wanting access to hers and she gave it to him. Then they baby kicked. "Oh my gosh, Sheridan" he whispered, tears welling up in his eyes. "I know. But I think he did that because he knew his daddy was going to start something he couldn't finish til later" she said.
"Come on let's go, it's almost 12" she said and they walked downstairs hand in hand and got in the car and drove to the church. They arrived just in time, they sat in the front pew with Gwen, Hank, and Pilar. After mass ended Hank and Luis chatted while their wives chatted. "Gwen do you wanna feel your godson? He's been kicking all day, he kicked Luis while we were kissing" Sheridan said and Gwen placed her hand on her friend's stomach. Gwen got what she wanted, a beautiful kick. "Awww... that's so cute" Gwen exclaimed.
"What's so cute, sweetheart" Hank came over and asked. "Sweetie, feel this" she said and took her husband's hand and placed it on Sheridan's belly. "Oh wow, Sher that's awesome" Hank exclaimed. "Any children in the near future for you two"? Luis asked. "Hey let's go to Vegas again and see if we can conceive a child, just like our two best friends did" Hank suggested and all of them laughed. "Hey it could happen" he said. The four left and headed to their own homes. "Luis I'm hungry" she said. "Well whatever you want you know I'll get it for you" he said placing his hands on her shoulders. "Can you just get me a bowl of cookie dough ice cream with colored sprinkles, not chocolate like last time" she said and he answered yes, and she walked upstairs. He fixed two bowls of ice cream, one for him one for his wife. He grabbed the can of whipped cream and bowl of fruit from he fridge and walked upstairs. He walked into the bedroom and the lights were dimmed, and soft music was playing.
"Finally Luis" she complained and instead of grabbing the bowl of ice cream she took the whipped cream. "Oh no sher, no you don't! Now you go lay your sexy body on that bed" he commanded taking the can from her, and she went to the bed. He undressed her and left her naked. He sprayed the cream all over her leaving a trail from her ear to breasts, to her tummy, down to her center, and her legs. He licked most of the cream off, but skipped her center.
He licked his way up her calves, knees, thighs and let his tongue dive into her center. Tasting the sweetness of his wife "Oh god Luis, more! Don't stop"! she screamed. He started to do a tongue tornado (Thanks to American Pie for *Tongue Tornado*). He took his tongue out as his two fingers dived into her flesh, and moving them rapidly. "oh god Luis" she yelled as an orgasm shook her. He smiled, he had done a good job! He went up to her and laid beside her, she cuddled into his embrace, "Merry Christmas my love" he whispered and both fell asleep. (ok I tried to do a few dirty lines, but I suck at writing dirty shit! LOL)

~~~Chapter 22~~~*When Morning Comes*
Sheridan woke up the next morning to the alarm clock going off beside. She shut it off and was surprised when she didn't meet Luis's body when she turned around. Instead she found a note...Dear Sheridan I Didn't want you to see me before the wedding, even though we're married. I went to Hank's house! Gwen should arrive at 9:30, I made you and the baby breakfast. Look on my side, there will be a tray of pancakes, eggs, cut up fruit, and freshly squeezed orange juice. Also there are three roses one for you, the baby, and just an extra because I love you! See you at the altar. Love, Luis
Oh god, he's so sweet, she thought and looked on his side. She found the tray of food and dug in. When she was done she washed the dishes. She was about to go upstairs when the doorbell rang. "Good morning, Sher. Here are a dozen roses from lover boy" Gwen said coming through the door. Sheridan opened the envelope and read the card. *Hey Mrs. Lopez-Fitzgerald 1 1/2 hours and counting*"Come on Sher, go get dressed" Gwen said and both girls went upstairs. "Can I use your bathroom" she asked. "Gwen your like family, don't ask" Sher replied and her friend ran to the bathroom. All she heard was Gwen throwing up. "Gwen are you ok"? she asked her friend when she came out. "Sher, I'm pregnant"! Gwen exclaimed, smiling. "Oh my gosh, Gwen" she yelled hugging her friend. Gwen helped Sheridan put her dress on then she out her shoes on. They arrived at the church 15 minutes later. "Gwen go get Hank and bring him back here. I want you to tell him your surprise in front of me, so I can see his _expression" Sher said and Gwen went to go get Hank.
While she was gone Pilar slipped in, then came Hank and Gwen. "ok Hank I have something to tell you the bride wanted me to tell you in front of her. I'm pregnant"! She said. "Oh Gwen, we're having a baby" Hank yelled and twirled his wife around. Sam came running in thinking something was wrong. "Is everyone ok" he asked. "Ya we're ok uncle Sam" Hank joked. "Hank be quiet ok. Uncle Sam.. Uncle? Is Gwen preggers or something"? and they all nodded. "Ok time for the old, new, blue, and borrowed" Pilar announced and Hank left to join Luis in the other room." Sher you’re my best friend and I wanted to get you something new.
Here's a gold necklace with a heart, I hope you like it. Oh ya and I also got you a godchild" Gwen said joking around and patting her tummy, and her Sheridan and Pilar laughed. Here's something old your mom's gold earrings"Pilar said putting in the earrings for Sheridan. "And here's a borrowed charm bracelet, but I want you to keep it" Pilar said, and of course her garter was blue "Oh thank you both so much" Sheridan said hugging both of them. "Sher you ready" Sam asked from the doorway. "Am I ever" she said and walked to Sam.

~~~Chapter 23~~~*You Are The Love Of My Life*
Finally the music started to play, Sam waked Sheridan down the aisle to his one of his best buds. The vows were said and they were officially married, in the eyes of the church. Luis and Sheridan took of in their limo. "Oh Luis I can't believe we got married again! But it was wonderful just like the first one" she said throwing her arms around her husbands neck and capturing his lips in a beautiful kiss. His hands starting roaming and stopped at the zipper of her dress. He started unzipping it but was interrupted. "Mr and Mrs Lopez-Fitzgerald we have arrived" the driver said opening the door. The couple walked through the doors of the Seascape. "now here are Harmony's hottest couple. Mr. and Mrs. Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald" Chad announced and the couple walked to the middle of the dance floor, as husband and wife.
~I am amazed when I look at you
I see you smiling back at me, it's like all our dreams come true
I am afraid if I lost you girl
I'll falls from the cracks and lose my tracks in this crazy lonely world
So times are so hard to believe when the nights can be so long
And give me the strength, keep me holding on
You are the love of my life
And I'm so glad I found you, you are the love of my life
Baby put your arms around me, I guess this is how it feels
When you finally found something real
My angel in the night, you are my love, the love of my life
Now here you are, midnight closing in
Take my hand as our shadows dance, the moonlight on your skin
I look in your eyes, lost inside your kiss
I think If I'd never met you, bout all the things I've missed
So times are so hard to believe in, when a love can be so strong
And faith give me the strength, keep me holding on
You are the love of my life and I'm so glad I found you
You are the love of my life, Baby put your arms around me
I guess this is how it feels, when you finally found something real
My angel in the night, you are the love, the love of my life
You are the love of my life, and I'm so glad I found you
You are the love of my life, baby put your arms around me
I guess this is how it feels, when you finally found something real
My angel in the night you are my love, my angel in the night
You are my love, the love of my life oh oh
**Jim Brickman-Love Of My Life**
"I love you" Luis whispered to his wife and kissed her passionately as the song ended. There were whistles from all the guys at work, when he cupped Sheridan's bottom in his hands. He shot them all a smirk. Finally it was garter time. Chad turned on the strip club music and Luis smiled. He slid the blue garter off with his teeth and stood up. He threw it and Chad caught it. Sheridan threw the bouquet and she wasn't at all surprised when Chad's girlfriend, Whitney, caught it.

~~~Chapter 24~~~*Welcome To The Family*
"Luis that's it! I can't do this anymore" Sheridan yelled, starting to cry, from her hospital bed as another contraction hit. They'd been in that room for over 10 hours. "Sweetheart, just squeeze my hand" he said calmly. She took his hand and squeezed it, and he wiped the tears from her eyes. Eve Russell walked in. "Sheridan how are you doing" she asked. "Oh Eve I'm just peachy! These contractions are killing me! I want to goddamn drugs already" she yelled and Luis and Eve laughed to themselves. "Oh Luis don't even laugh you son of a bitch. You did this to me, I'm never letting you make love to me again" She cried. "Well Sheridan your already 7 centimeters apart, I'll get the epidural ready" Eve said and left the room.
"Oh Luis, I didn't what I just said. I love you and I love making love to you" she said. 10 minutes later Eve came back with the nurse. "Hello Mrs. Lopez-Fitzgerald. Can you turn on your side please" the nurse said and Luis helped his wife lay on her side. "Oww" she whispered, obviously in pain, when the needle when into her spine. 2 1/2 hours went by and Sheridan was fully dialated. Luis was helping as much as he could, but his wife was in too much pain. He hated to see her in pain and he made a note to himself, start wearing a condom.
"Come on Sher push. Hee hee hoo hee hee hoo" Luis coached as she grabbed his hand, and he placed a kiss on her palm of her hand. "Come on push Lopez-Fitzgerald" Eve yelled. "Ahhh...god I can't push anymore" she screamed. "Baby yes you can come on" Luis said and kissed the crown of her head. "Come On Sher, I see the head. A few more pushes, you'll have your baby boy" Eve said "Ahhh.." Sheridan screamed and with all her might pushed. "Wahhh" a baby's cry filling the room, Sheridan collapsed. "Oh my god, Sheridan sweetie. You did great. I love you so much" Luis said proudly. "Luis, Sheridan meet your son" Eve said and laid the baby across Sheridan's chest, "Oh Luis, go get Gwen and Hank. I want them to meet their godchild" Sheridan whispered. Minutes later the three entered the room.
"Hey Sheridan, congratulations" Gwen said. "Hey little guy" Hank said. Knock knock "Come in" Luis said and in walked his father and mother. "Hey papa, mama" he said and hugged his parents. "Here Luis, here's a box of cigars go and pass him out" Martin whispered to his son. Luis gave one to his dad, and Hank. Then walked out to the waiting room where all his family and friends stood. "Sheridan and I would like you all to meet Brandon" Luis said showing off his son!
