Luis is 28, and he has a 12 year old daughter named Ally. When he was 16, he got a girl pregnent when he was 16, (she was...lets say 17) anyway she died, during labor. With his mothers help, they've raised her. Luis is still a cop, yada yada yada, so the only changes from when Passions first aired to now is, that he has a daughter. (Martin is still missing) Sheridan is 26, she has lived in Paris, like usual, she is coming back to Harmony, because she thinks she's spent to many years away from her family. (Even though, Ethan and Ivy are the only one's who like her) >Pilar know's who Sheridan is, and has know her since Sheridan was a child, but Luis doesn't know anything about her. She is not a well know Crane, because she has never liked being in the spot light. Ally, is 12, and Her and Luis live in Harmony, 3 blocks down from Pilar. She's in 7th grade. When I say grandma it means PILAR! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"But Dad!" cried Ally "No, but's, Ally! I have to work, so you have to go to Grandma's!" said Luis, picking up his files. "Dad! I hate going over there, I practically live there! Your always busy with WORK" she said picking up her book bag. "I'm sorry sweetie, but I have a meeting about the Cranes" said Luis, lookinng for his car key's. "Who cares about the Cranes.....THE CRANES? As in the ones who live in the mansion, and awalys manage to be on the cover of PEOPLE Cranes?" asked Ally, excitedly "Yes, but don't you worry, I just have to go to the mansion and.." began Luis "oh, I'm not worried dad, I'm excited!! Please let me go with you, I swear, I'll just sit and hold still, I won't touch anything,I won't even BREATH! PLEASE!" she begged, getting on her hands and knee's. "Ally, I know you want to, but I can't let you!" he said, lifting her up, by her arms.

"I always thought, you didn't love me, but now I know it's true!" she said sticking out her bottem lip. "No need to be the drama queen" said Luis "Dad, I'll make a deal with you1 If you let me go, you don't have to get many anything for Christmas! And let me add it's 2 months away! but thats all I want" she said begging "I'll think about it, If I say yes, I'll pick you up after school, but if it's no, grandma will be there" she said, tapping her nose. "Thank you daddy! Oh I love you!" she said running to the door. "Thats not a yes, thats a maybe!" he said smiling "Whatever dad" she yelled before running out the door. ~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Sheridan? Sheridan is that you?" asked Ethan Crane looking at his aunt "Yes it's me, Ethan, Oh it's been so long" she said as they embraced. "Let's get you home, Mother wanted to come so bad, ut she had to watch father" he added as they both laughed. "Good old Julian Cran" she began "Can't keep him, can't barry him in the back yard." They got in the Limo and headed to the Crane Mansion. ~*~*~*~*~*~*

"So Ethan What have I missed? How long has it been 9, 10 years since I've been here" asked Sheridan as they got into the limo. "10 years, and you haven't really missed anyhting to exciting, Except he funny stuff" he said stalling because he knew she would ask. "What kind of funny stuff?" she asked "Well on Halloween, of all nights, father got very extremely drunk, he was wasted." said Ethan "Yes,Continue" said Sheridan facing her nephew. "Anyway, he got this smart idea in his head to slide down the railing of the stairs." said Ethan "Was he hurt?" she asked.

"Suprisingly no broken bones, he was almost to the bottem, and somehow flipped to the side, and role down the stairs the rest of the way" he said laughing "Either he passed out or was knocked out, because he didn't come to, until about 15 min. later. All he had was a couple bruises, and a black eye. It was so funny, Mother brought it upon herself to tell everybody." "Oh I wish I could of been there" she said laughing with him. "Here we are" said Ethan "Home sweet home" said Ethan pointing to the mansion. "For now" she added, as the limo driver opened the door. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~

At Ally's School "Ally, what has gotten into you, that you can't stop talking?" asked the teacher. "I'm sorry Ms. Cross, but I'm just happy today" said Ally. "Well this is the last class of the day, can you settle down for the next 15 min.?" said Ms. Cross angrily "Yes, I can, I'm sorry" said Ally, tying to hold back a smile. "And since your all for talking today, you can read on pg. 56" said Ms. Cross. "Oh, I would Love to" she said, and turned to the page in her book.

~*~*12 min. later "Ok you all can pack up now, but if you get to rowdy, we'll have a test tom." said Ms. Cross "So Ally" asked her best fried Sarah "hats up with you today?" "Oh, nothing, nothing at all except" said ally "Except what?" asked Sarah excitedly "Except the fact, that I, Ally Lopez-Fitgerald will be going to the Crane mansion, after school! Well Because my dad has to go over there." said Ally braggingly "Oh My God you lying?" she asked excited "Well I'm not positive, but most likely YES" she said smiling brightly. "You have to call me as soon as you get home!! and if you don't I'll kill you!" said sarah jokingly "I will, I promise, just don't tell anyone!" said Ally "I won't, I swear! Oh My Gosh, you know what I heard!" said Sarah "What?" she asked "Well I don't know if this is true..but, you know how my mom always watches E tv?" asked Sarah "Yes"

"Well, she was telling me, about there being another Crane, I can't remember what her name was, I think it starts with an "S" but I'm not sure, anyway I guess she lived in Paris, and she's coming to Harmony. I don;t know if thats all right, but that might be the reason your dad has to go over there." explained Sarah "Om my gosh, that would be awsome!" said Ally Just then the Bell rang.... Ally and Sarah race out the door. "Look for my dads car" said Ally grabbing her friends hand. "I can't see it" said sarah, squeezing her friends hand. "Well, he might be running late" said Ally, praying he would be coming. "OH MY GOD there he is!! How does my hair look??" asked Ally "Fine, just go!! AND CALL me when you ge home" she yelled as her friend ran to the car. She jumps in the car~*~*~*~

"Oh dad I love you so much!" she said hugging him "And I love you to, but" said Luis "No, dad I'm going" she said her eyes growning wide "Yes, your going, BUT, there is no running around, asking questions" "I swear on the Bible, I'll be sooooo good!" she answered "Well, ok, here we go" he said as they drove the way. but all Luis could think of is, how this was a mistake, and he had never been to happy with the Cranes, since PA PA left, and he sure as H*** didn't want his daughter getting mixed up in some dream world. But something told him it would be ok. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

In the Crane Mansion- Sheridan and Ethan are sitting on the couch. When Ethan tells her he needs to tell her something. "What is it Ethan" she asked "Well I know you were having problems in Paris" stalled Ethan "Spit it out, I don't want my first hour here to be yelling at you" she said and smiled "Well anyway, I envited one of Harmony's police officers to come over, all he's going to do is ask you a few questions" said Ethan "Ethan... why would you do that" asked Sheridan trying to make eye contact "I'm sorry, I just want to make sure your safe, and I don't want you to leave, as soon as you get here" he said "I know..ok I forgive you" she said smiling "Good, because he should be here any min." he said getting up, so she couldn't yell at him. ~*~*~*~*

"Sheridan, it's for you safty, and if it matters any I'm sorry, I should of asked you" said Ethan, hoping that would get her. "Well, then I forgive you. But I have to go change!" said Sheridan running up the stairs. "OK" he yelled back smiling. "Oh, and Ethan" she said coming out of her room. "Yes" "I'm still the better actor" she said smiling. "Yep, she's back" he said smiling.

Luis and Ally are getting out of the car. "This house is huge!" said Ally, scanning the outside of the mansion. "Money can't buy love sweetie" said Luis "And be good!" "Dad, I will! Oh and about the whole not getting me a Christmas present, I was just kidding. I want more presents" said Ally. "I know" he said smiling "but be good!" ~*~*~**~*~*~**~*~*~ In Sheridans room. "My god, do they expect me to be dressed up 24/7! Were are all my jeans?" Sheridan asked herself "Here we go" she said Pulling out a pair of faded blue jeans. "Now were's that shirt". "Sheridan" Ethan yelled "Is this going to take all day, they just got here."

"Well maybe, if I had CLOTHES, I wouldn't take forever!" she yelled back. "Well Hurry" he yelled "Well Hurry" She mimicked "Here we go" she said grabbing, a white tank-top, and a green cardigan to put over it. "Put a little color into life" she said out loud, looking into mirror. "I guess it does look better then black" she said to the mirror. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Ally and Luis are at the front door. "Dad, let me ring the door bell, please!" said Ally. "Go ahead, it's just a door bell" he said rolling his eyes.

DING DONG A maid answers the door. "Can I help you" said the lady. "Yes, I'm here to see Mr. Crane" said Luis "Well, Julian isn't here, so I guess yo mean Ethan?" she asked. "Yes" "Right this way" "Hello, I'm Ethan Crane". "I'm Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald, and this is my daughter Ally." said Luis, shaking his hand. "My aunt" said Ethan "Should be down any min." he yelled, so she could here. "Patience is a virtue!" she yelled back. "She'll be down in a second" said Ethan. "I guess, your wondering why your here" "Well yes" Ally just starred in amazment, the mansion was just beautiful. Ethan explained everything, about Sheridan dating someone who was in the drug cartel...etc.

"Sheridan, Hurry" yelled Ethan "Oh there's someone here, I was just reading a book" she said sarcasticly "I'm coming" Luis found this rather amusing. "Here she comes Miss America" Ethan sang. "Shut-up" she said as she walked out of her room. Luis looked up, and saw her. She was beautiful, the way her short blonde hair bounced, when she came down the stairs. "Luis, this is my aunt, Sheridan Crane" said Luis. "Hello" she said holding out her hand. "Hello" he said, shaking is head, out of the day dream. "And who is this" said Sheridan, looking at Ally. "This is my daughter, Ally" "It's nice to meet you" said Ally. "And to you, you have the most beautiful eyes" said Sheridan. "Thank-you" said Ally smiling brightly.

"Ok, how long did you know Jean Luc" asked Luis, grabbing his pen and paper. "um, a year, I think" said Sheridan thinking for a moment. "Did he ever have any different, or odd acting visitors?" asked Luis. "He might of, but I don't know, it's not like I lived with him" "When was the last time you saw Jean Luc?" asked Luis "O gosh, todays the 26, so I would have to say, 2 weeks ago" said Sheridan.

"Why did you leave? if you don't mind me asking" "Because, he cheated on My officer, and I am not one to take that lightly!" she added quickly. "I'm sorry Ms. Crane" said luis. "Sherian, and there's no reason to be. Ally aren't you bored sitting, over there? Because I know I am!" asked Sheridan. "NO, not at all, I love this house" said Ally. "Yes it's lovely, but Money doesnt buy love" said Sheridan looking around. Ally looked at her father and smiled, remembering when he told her that, before they went into the Crane mansion.

"Would you like to see the whole thing? If it's all right with your father" she added looking at Luis. "Ms. Crane, I have questions to ask you" said Luis. "Then you can have the grand tour to," she said Smiling, motioning for them to come with. "This is the dinning room" said Sheridan. "It's beautiful" said Ally. "It is pretty" said Luis looking at the bay windows. "But it's lifeless" said Sheridan. "But I guess this whole house is, except when my brother gets her." "What do you mean by that?" asked luis.

"Oh we fight, for hours, I find great pleasure in pissing him off, I mean making him mad" she tried to cover up. "I'm sorry that slipt" "It's ok" said Luis smiling. "Phew" said Sheridan smiling " Do you guys want Ice cream?" she said pointing to the kithen. "Sure" said Ally, I love Ice Cream" "NO theres no need to go to the trouble" said Luis.
