Author's Note: This story takes place in the future after Luis and Sheridan are married. It includes the imposter that Julian and Rebecca were about to resign.

Chapter 1: Losing The Connection

Julian had resigned the imposter to another contract to do one final job. They met at the wharf again. "Here's the mask, take it and go to her tonight. I'll have Luis out of the house. Finish the job." *Luis* "I wish she were here with me. I'll finish up all the paper work and than go to my wife. I hope she loves this locket I bought. It's got a picture of us together on our night of marriage dancing and a picture of out beautiful child" *Sheridan* "I hope he comes home tonight. I had this special night planned. I'll pick Justin (child) up tomorrow. Thank God for Pilar." Knock knock............

*Imposter* "I'll have sex with her and then finish the job. I love this job!" *Sheridan* "Come in." she shouted. The music was playing and the place was full of candles and rose peddles. "I'm in the room!", she shouted while trying to get on Luis's favourite outfit. "Yes, jackpot!"thought the imposter. As soon as Luis (imposter) came in she came out. "Hey darling, missed ya. Thought I'd do something special on our 1st year anniversary" She came out and pounced on Luis. They both feel on to the bed. She made her way down his body kissing him. He pulled her under her and worked his magic. Girls would tell him he was the best and now he got the chance to sleep with a person worth losing his job for. Julian would kill him if he knew. "Oh,...............Luis.......why aren't you this rough usually. I love this.!"Sheridan cried.

"Wait, darling, just wait to I do ya good!"He whispered. The imposter entered Sheridan rocking into her real hard. He had his hands on her sides while frenching her and as well as rocking into her. Sheridan was so thrilled. Luis was never this good usually. Her tongue was busy and her moaning was so loud she didn't even here the real Luis come in. "Oh, yeah......this is the best sex I've ever had!"She screamed. The imposter was to busy to notice the door open slighty. *Luis" "This is so sweet of her. It is so turning me on" *Sheridan* "I wish he were like this all the time" "Oh,Luis............... this is the best sex we've had in a year.

" This is the best performance I have ever given. Watch out baby, with this rock I plan to drive you to the edge" With that the imposter was in her deep. She had her legs around him hoping she wouldn't climax yet, but she couldn't help it. He was great tonight." *Luis" "She was calling for me," Luis enters the room. "Get your f**king hands off my wife"! He knocked him over and was surprised that he was looking at himself. You asshole. He went over to him and punched him out good. "Sheridan, how could you. You had an affair with someone. Did you hire an imposter just because I'm never home. How could you? This was our anniversary. What about our child. Are you satisfied at least.

I heard you, if you liked it so much you mine-as-well stay with the bastard. Take a good look at him. Luis pulled off the mask." *Sheridan* "Luis, I know this looks bad, but I planned it for us. I thought he was you." She cried. *Luis* "You thought, we been together for a few years and you couldn't even tell the difference. You were my life and only meaning to live, but now........Luis turned and started to cry. *Sheridan* "Luis......please, just listen to me. How was I suppose to tell the difference between the two of you. *Luis* "As hard as this is, I need to get out of here.

Don't expect me home for awhile. Oh, by the way Happy Anniversary. The reason why I took me extra long to get home was for this, with that Luis dropped the box. I got on for each of us, but you can have mine. The only thing I need is the picture of our child." Luis cried. *Sheridan* "Oh god, Luis, don't leave me. Please. I didn't know. I'm sorry....... Luis, I live for you and our child. I need you to feel complete. *Luis* "Well, it sure didn't look like you needed me tonight" With that Luis ran out of the house. *Sheridan* Sheridan ran out as fast as she could trying to keep up with Luis, but he got into his car before she could reach him. She started knocking on the window. "Luis, please!"She cried

*Luis* "Sheridan, I'll always love you, but get back into the cottage. It's raining, darling."he whispered. "No, not until you let me in, you can't leave me, I need your love." she cried out to him It felt as though a thousand needles had been stabbed into his chest, but she cheated on him. "Sheridan, the fact that you cheated on me, is unforgivable. Now, I know why you thought a year ago that I called you a spoiled princess. Just look at him. This event was paid for by someone in your family. They had there way. You just completed it"He screamed. "Luis, are you leaving me and your child. No.....Luis, please don't." With that Luis pulled away from her and their love and drove off.

"Luis,.............................."she cried. She forgot all about the rain. She didn't even notice imposter leaving. She stayed in the rain till Julian had the nerves to come out. "Sheridan, get in, dear sister, what have I done. Mom made me promise to protect you, what have I done." Julian whispered. "How, could you Julian. Of all the things you could of done. Why didn't you just kill me. That way I ended up knowing Luis loved me. How......" " Sheridan, dad, he made me do it. I didn't know how much you loved him, I'm sorry!"Julian yelled. "Here, I'm getting you out of the rain." Julian felt so bad. He brought her in and tucked her in like a big brother should of done.

The next morning. "Luis, honey are you there. I had a terrible dream you left me and our child." "Luis....... She yelled "Sister, dear, bad news, Pilar has something to give you. I'll be leaving now." Julian left.Pilar came in and dropped off an envelope. "How, could you, I thought of you as a child!" "Pilar, what......"Sheridan knew that last night wasn't a dream. She ran after her, but it was to late. She took the enveloped and shredded it open.

She read, Dear love, The following papers are divorce papers. I'm sorry, but I could never live with someone who cheated on me. I've agreed to joint custody over Justin. If you wouldn't mind, I'd love to have the weekends with him. A part of me will always love you, that's the part that tells me I should forgive you, but it will never work out. I'll always have those images in my head. Remember always, that I will never forget about our loving marriage that we had and shared. Love, Luis. P.s Please, just sign it. Don't make it any harder.

Sheridan couldn't believe what was happening to her. She didn't mean for this to happen. As she read it she kept crying. She looked over the documents and at the final page for signature, there was his. All he needed for the divorce was a signature from herself. She ran back into her room and looked at the photo of Luis, Justin, and herself smiling. She noticed the locket. She opened it up and saw the photo of her and Luis together dancing and their child on the other side. Now she was determined to winning him back. She put on the locket and ran to Luis old home. *Luis's home* "Theresa, please let me in, I just need to speak to him," Theresa let her in feeling so badly for her. " Sheridan, come in. Justin still here with us, but Luis, he.....he....." "Theresa, say it, just say it" She cried.

"He left, he said he'd be gone for awhile, but would return once the divorce was done with. He told us he couldn't bare not to even look at you let along wake up without you."Theresa whispered. "Come here Sheridan, it's okay, he loves you still." Sheridan felt like she had been punched. She had given Luis her heart. She broke his by mistake and now her's was broken. She couldn't believe what was happening. She cried and cried on Theresa's shoulder.

Chapter 2: Your All That I Need

Sheridan walks upon the sand gracefully as the water flickers around her. She stares into the dark skies and wonders, " what will come about us now, I need him, and our son needs him" She begins to feel the fear of reality and its situation. The actually fact, that Luis, had gone so far for a divorce, had blown a hole though her aching heart. It had been weeks since the horrible mistake. How could she have mistaken an imposter for Luis? A part of her knew that it wasn't him, yet, he hadn't touched her like the imposter did and she had missed it. She knew that even if she were to move on, he'd been there, in her heart. She knew that she wouldn't be able to forget all the times he had saved her and the loved they shared. He would always be in her dreams.

" Damn, how could I of done that to Luis?" Sheridan cursed. " Why is it that I realize to late much I need him?" She cried in the sand. " I'll always be there for you Sheridan, always will and always have, just remember that I'll always be a part of you just like you'll always be a part of me" Luis rubbed her shoulder and began to walk off into the night. " Luis..............................................wait. Were are you going?" She bagged. " You know where I am, just follow your heart" a voice in her head called out. She was to tired and decided to go home to there son. *Home* " Baby, you better be in bed, or mommy's going to have ground you" she hollered.

" Really, Sheridan, is that any way to treat our child" Luis mocked her. " What? What are you doing here?" She said coldly. " Well, I was talking to Mama, and she let me in to see my little boy" he whispered. " I'm sorry, I didn't think you would allow me to see him after the divorce papers...." " I'll get them to you soon, I just haven't had the time to sign it lately since, you left......" " Didn't, I whisper that I had never left you and that I would always be there at the beach" he choked out. "So, that was you, I wasn't imagining you" she hugged him out of excitement. " Um...sorry, I don't have the right to that any more" " It's okay, I've missed it,............do you think maybe if you haven't signed the paper, that we could take it slowly again, maybe work out our problems?" he hesitated to say.

"Holy, sh*t, is Luis, asking me to try to work out our problems?" she thought. " I guess not, taking that long paused, I guess you moved on" Luis painfully said. Luis, walks, slowly to the door, waiting for her to call him back, yet she hadn't. " I guess, she doesn't love me" " Wait, it's just that I can't because, you left me, and never believed in our love. How do I know that you just won't get tired of trying again and leave me" " How do I know your not coming back to me because your lonely? How Luis? You left me!!!!!!!!!!!!!" she screamed and starting hitting him in the chest, until she had cried herself to death and didn't have the strength to stand up and instead she fell silently to the floor. Mouthing the words, " why? Luis"
