I Will Always Love You

"I'm leaving Harmony. I can't stay here and pretend I love Antonio when I love you" I say softly. He looks at me sadly. This is the end for us. Through all we've been through I can't believe I'm giving up on us now. I love Luis with all of my heart and soul and it's going to be so hard to leave him. But it's the only way I'll escape this nightmare without him getting hurt. I love him so much, even though I can't live without him, I won't let my father kill him because he's in love with me.

"Sheridan no. Please don't go" I whisper as tears form in my eyes. "I have to Luis. I'm not going to stay with Antonio any longer and pretend that I'm in love with him. And if I stay here, with you, my father will see us together and he'll kill you. I won't have that" She tells me, I bring her into my arms, holding her so tightly I don't want to let her go. "I love you" I whisper softly in her ear. I press my lips against hers, we engage in a passionate, heartfelt kiss.

And I...
Will always
Love you, oohh
Will always
Love you
You
My darling you
Mmm-mm

Bittersweet
Memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So good-bye
Please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you
You need

I look at Luis, I can tell his heart is shattering into pieces, and it's all my fault. "I'm sorry Luis." I say, my own tears forming in my eyes. The truth about Luis and I being in love should've came out the second my memory returned last year. I should have never married Antonio. I have all these regrets, and I can't take them back. I should've just been honest with Antonio all along. But no, I felt bad for the guy and I gave all up my happiness for him.

And I...
Will always love you
I...
Will always love you
You, ooh

What is she thinking, I ask myself as I stare at her. I'm going to kill Alistair for doing this to us. He destroyed Sheridan's only happiness she ever had. In my heart I know that one day we'll be together. Then we can get married and have tons of babies, like we've always wanted from the beginning. This is the last night we're going to be together. The last night that we're going to make love, that's until the day Alistair Crane dies. Then when he dies she can come back to me.

I hope
life treats you kind
And I hope
you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy
and happiness
But above all this
I wish you love

As I lay in Luis' arms I can't help but feel so safe, secure, content and most of all loved. "I love you" I finally whisper back, he traces lazy circles on my stomach, where our baby grows. He doesn't know about our little gift from above, but I don't know if I should tell him. I decide that I should, he deserves to know he's going to be a daddy. I begin to cry, he's going to be a daddy, but he's never going to see his child. He's never going to see his child be born, take his/her first step, say his/her first word. Thanks to Alistair.

And I...
Will always love you
I...
Will always love you

I look down at Sheridan, I see that she's crying. I wipe away her tears and ask her what is wrong. She tells be the best possible news there. "I'm pregnant" She whispers, she slides out of bed and wraps the sheet around her. "I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston still floats through the room. I watch as she walks over and stands by the window. I slide out of bed and walk over to her. I wrap my arms around her and she leans into my embrace. "Sheridan please stay. Let me apart of your lives" I plead. "No, I'm leaving I have to. I'll be back someday Luis, I promise. I will always love you don't forget that ok" She says and turns around to kiss me.

The music fades as I watch as she turns and walks away. She bends down to grab her clothes and she starts getting dressed. This might be the last time I watch her. I don't know where she's going, but I know that I won't stop until I find out where she is. She's my soul mate, the love of my life and the mother of my little baby. I'll find a way to get her back and then we'll be together forever. No one will ever tear us apart again. She slips into her heels and walks over to me. Sheridan gives me one last kiss and whispers "I love you". I watch as she walks out of the cottage, and out of my life.
