Trapped In An Elevator

SUMMARY: I dont own these characters just borrowing them from nbc and passions. This story takes off after todays australian ep this is that aired today thursday 7th march 2002. When sheridan and luis go visit hank in the hospital after they find out about hank been beaten on the warf.

Chapter 1:

Luis and sheridan were talking about how she a little blames herself for hank being beaten up cause he went to get ice cream for her. "shh..sheridan its not your fault, please don't blame yourself , im sure hank will be fine" Luis said soothing his voice calms he touched her back trying to comfort her. Once sheridan realized that he was touching her they both turned toward each other falling deeper into each others eyes. Oh god sheridan thought..why does he have to look at me like that..i thought i was over him but i seem to can't excape my feelings no matter how much i try to deny it or run away the feelings don't change.

Luis couldn't keep his eyes off sheridan she was so darn beautiful, he has always known that and that she gets to him but being in here so close to her was killing him not to touch her, kiss her ..oh god i need to get out or i will do something that will change things forever and im not sure if thats what she wants, He's so confused about his feelings toward her and doesn't even know about hers toward him. "come on, come on i need to get out of here" Luis mumbled. Luis wondered why they seemed not to be on the 10th floor by now. He looks up and sees that the elevator is stop between 6-7 floor and no-way to get out for the moment.

Chapter 2:

" Oh Great" Luis said under his breath making sure not too loud. Luis turned around to see sheridan leaning against the elevator wall looking so incredibly gorgeous seeing how her curves blend through . Sheridan turned toward him "ah luis, whats the matter, why aren't we moving?" Sheridan questioned him barely couldn't look at him cause if they had to be alone here any longer she would jump him . Luis looks down at her and back up again "um..Sheridan we have a problem seems like we are stuck between 2 floors the phone doesn't work but im sure it will be up and going within a few hours so just relax until we can get up and moving again."

Sheridan didn't realize what she was doing or saying , she just couldn't possibly spend hours maybe the night in a small elevator so close to the man she was dreamed about every thought she thinks is of him . "oh no this cannot be happening , i need to get out now before i say something or worse do something that is beyond her control...luis i need to get out now i know how you feel about me but if im here all night with you i may end up doing something ive dreamed and wished on doing for a long long time." Sheridan mumbled. She didn't realize just how close she is to him until it was too late her body was inches away from his , she could feel him tense up, body reacting to hers eyes locked on her.

Luis stepped a bit closer now put his hands on her shoulders. "Sheridan, what was that about how i feel about you, you have no idea what i feel towards you i know what you think i feel but you are so far from the truth. We both know there is and always has been something between us and there's no denying it i feel it everything i look at you , you make my heart race you have no idea what you do to me sheridan so you tell me how you feel and i'll tell you how i feel okay?" Luis slid up against her his body on hers.

Sheridan tried to turn but luis had her in his arms against his body "Luis i ..um... i don't know what your talking about" Sheridan lied. "Oh really, then maybe i can get the truth from you another way" Luis commented. If she wanted to still deny her feelings he couldn't and he was gouing to make sure she realized it too and admited it. Luis then grabbed her by her waist pulled her to him and kissed her unlike anyone else before her mouth was ravishing he wanted to explore her whole body. He then met her tounge with his and they massaged well together going with the flow. wow sheridan thought..there was no turning back now , she could no longer deny him she had beeen denyong her true feelings for months now afraid of being hurt but when she is in his arms she feels like the safest woman in the world also loved and special cherished.

She loosened and threw her arms around his neck pulling him back against the wall then feeling his mouth slid to her neck . "luissssss ooh god you make me feel so good im sorry you were right i was running away from what i wanted i was afraid of getting hurt" Sheridan moaned. Luis pulled back. " Sheridan i know how i feel i need to know two things before things progressed?" "okay , what is it luis" sheridan said in derilium. "firstly why have you been denying your feelings and why had you beed so angry at me for these past few months?" Luis breathed. Luis waited for sheridan to answer

Chapter 3:

Sheridan took a breath and was prepared to tell him the truth he deserved taht after all he has done to save her life. "ahh..okay luis i owe you that much so for you first question about my feelings well i did that beacuse i was stubborn as you have always said and i thought you didn't feel the same way why did you think i argued for so long that was to cover my feelings i was afraid of getting too close and whenever i got too close to anyone i got hurt"

"And second the reason why i have been angry these last few months why i slapped you before i took off to paris is beacuse remember that night on the warf when you kissed me,well i went back and i saw you talking on your cell phone about me tell this person on the other end that you are using me to get to my family i was heartbroken it was like a piece of me was riped out when i heard that and thats why i said what i said when i saw you at the youth center and why i slapped you and left for paris i thought you were just liek the others using me to get to my family" Sheridan said so fast she hardly took a breath wanting it all out in the open.

Luis was confused ..... "Sheridan how could you even believe that about me but i don't care cause i didn't say those things..but i have an idea....how about if we forget that day we start over for good if if you want too then just say so" Sheridans heart was pounding intensely trying to decide what to do between her heart and her head then finally after searching in his eyes for a solution she finally came to a conclusion. "ahh luis.." she said then all of a sudden he shocked her. Before sheridan could tell him her answer Luis decides to find the answer himself. He puts his finger on her lips for her not to say angthing and then he leans in closer puts his arms around her waist and slowly gently kisses her sweetly then all the passions that has been building up inside him is rreleased through each kiss.

wow was the thought that ran through her head trying to control her emotions than tells herself to forget about controling them to just let go and go with what she is feeling. She puts her arms around his neck pulling him closer as she slips her tounge inside his mouth exploring the sensation that arouses her . Luis massages her tounge with his and they revive each other from suction overdrive like CPR they give each other oxygen as they would be out of it as soon as they finished. Luis then breaks away and starts on her neck feeling the hot heat in his mouth as he kisses her and he hears sheridan moan out in pleasure.

"oh god LLUIIIIIIIISSSSSSSSSSSS don't stop please" Sheridan moaned as she thinks she doesn't know how she could have longed and wanted him so much and didnt do anything about it now that she has she is never going to let him go.

Luis unbuttoned sheridan top and threw it to the floor and then he took off his at the same time as he kisses her. He then started to kiss her neck and they both dropped to the floor in the heat of their passionate luis for each other He learns and rubs himself up against her feeling her body heat come though him her breath on his.. "oh sheridan you have no idea how must i want you..i need you" Luis moaned. Sheridan tore the rest of the clothes off as they were left with noth growling his name in delight as she feels him on top of her feeling down her naked body. "oh i think i have a fair idea as thats how much i want and need you"

Luis then was on her teasing her with his shaft he then kisses her bare stomach and then cups each of her breasts and starts to taste them he could feel her ecstacy flowing through he hears her moan which gives him more pleasure and excitment that he is pleasing her. "oohh god LUISSSSSSSSS , take me , take me now......i feel like i have died and gone to heaven please i need you now..i have got to have you right now or i will explode." Sheridan had begged him and her wish is his command. He licks his lips.. then starts on her mouth kissing her softly then more harder and passionately.

As soon as he starts to enter her he heard her wimper of pain but he soon calms her when he kisses her again and again making the pain fade. He then thrusts inside her moving faster and faster , harder and harder going with the beat sweat pouring between them he presses himself within her going in and out.... "Oh god Luis...ahhhggggghh more, or god more.."she moans. Sheridan then feels the beat then she dances with him they ride it together she is like on a horse riding through the bumps...she scream out in pleasure which is over-riding them both.

They slow down the beat as they fall backwards on the ground exhausted, sweaty like hell. Luis was amazed with her talents the way she moves...he always knew that she would change his life..but he didn't expect like this. "omg sheridan..you are one amazing woman..." he holds her in his arms. "ding, ding" there goes a sound. "what is that noise Luis?" Sheridan asked. Luis looked up and saw that the light for the floors were flashing which meant that the elevator was up and running again. "sheridan we are getting out those lights and that sound meant that it is working again and we are going up to the next floor." A few minutes later they were starting to get dressed when all of a sudden they came to their floor and the doors flung open with heaps of people and children starring at them half dressed.."uh oh" They thought.

Chapter 5:

Sheridan and Luis stepped out of the Elevator and looked around at all the people wondering what was funny and why thy were staring at them then Sheridan look down at themselves they had they clothes inside out and half on it was totally obvious what had been going on, well the children just thought that they forgot to get dressed the right way and they were laughing and they had no idea what really had taken place. "omg Luis look at us..don't you realize that is what they are laughing and staring at we have our clothes the wrong way on and we are half dressed "Sheridan whispered very embarrased by the whole scene.

Luis looks down at themselves and then he tells sheridan in a low voice " come on sheridan this way" he pointed toward the bathroom down the hall. They were half way there when they come to a halt when standing at the end of the hallway was Hank(in a wheelchair just came back from his room), Sam and Agent Freeman. They are so busted they just wanted to get far away from anyone at this time. Sam chuckled looking at them he was thinking he knew what had happened he had heard about the elevator breakdown and also knew very well what was between them and he figured it wouldn't be too long before something did occurr and he guessed that is what exactly happened but in a elevator for goodness sakes..boy they sure are adventureous.

"well, well well what do we have here...looks like you too were in a hurry someplace, could it have to do with the way you two are dressed, or should i say NOT dressed." Sam barely got the waords out as he was laughing so hard. Hank and Agent freeman were grinning they had never seen nothing so funny or anyone so embarrased and nervous. "Looks like you too have made up, well its about time, i was waiting til you two got your act together and settled things but it could have been a bit sooner don't you think" Hank said. Hank then learned toward Agent Freeman and joked.

"you see these two have a habit of being in the biggest state of denial and they are the most pig headed stubborn people ive known...they are so alike..we all knew they had it bad for each other since day 1 but they were too hard headed to see that" Sheridan held her arms around herself to kinda like cover herself from being seen but it was a tad bit too late for that. "um..well we were stuck in the elevator..and we had nothing to do but talk and now yes well you know the rest as you had gathered..but we have to go and pick ourselves.." "Yeah well we'll be back soon we have some things to do ..well you know get dressed and all *grins at sheridan* "he said as he walked with her to the bathroom. "and do some "other things" he muttered to himself.

As they reached the bathroom they checked to see that no-one was in there(it was a uni-sex one) then started to get changed. Luis started to take his top off and sheridan to strip her clothes to put them on the right way . Luis looked at her with just her underwear on and gave her this look that he was planning on doing something. * grins mischieviously* "hmm..i have an idea how we can get dressed..or rather undressed." "oh yeah..hm..what would you have in mind officer" Sheridan pouted and smiled. he then pulled her toward him and kissed her with more passion that she gave him every time she looked at him .

She tore of the rest of his shirt and then unziped his jeans sliding them off they then leaned back on the bathroom floor and made passionate love hunger bursted inside them and was ready to be unleashed. They thrived on each other..in love and lust..unable to get enough of each other.

Chapter 6:

Half an hour later they were still making feeling like they were in their own little world that no-one else existed in the world but them. Luis Stopped from kissing sheridan looked at his watch and then realized that they had been done for over an hour when they were just meant to be getting changed. "sherry dont you think we should actually get "dressed" and go out as we were just meant to be getting changed not end up like this" he said as he laughed trying to sound serious.

Sheridan pulled Luis back down onto the floor and whispered sexily.. "Im sure we can stay here for a bit longer no-one's going to miss us after all we have lots of time to catch up on don't you think?" She started to nibble on his ear and then kissed his chest making him moan. "mmmm..." he moaned . He always seem to get distracted on what he was thinking when sheridan did this . "oh your right..im sure a little bit longer wont do any harm" He said then then turned around kissed her and pulled her to the ground making love once again. Kissing her mouth, tasting her , drinking from her insides exploring each of her sweet lucious lips breathing heavily through his hot luis filled mouth. Smoothing down her hair he pushes himself through her wanting to be let in ...as he nears her entrance..he feels her get all worked up, excited, at the though of him dancing through her.

Sheridan arches her back and moves her hips uptoward his removing the less space between them as they enters she moa out his name which comes from the ecstacy of the pleasure she feels everytime she is with him. She slides on top of him moves back and forwards, they move to the music that they make within themselves. As they make hot, passionate love over and over again Luis hears a noise. "uumm excuse me, what the hell do you think you are doing" Luis turns around a sees a elderly couple enter the bathroom and it was all over their faces what they had just witnessed and they were not at all impressed.

"This is not a place for a bunch of sex craved teenage wannabees this is a public bathroom in a hospital for bloody sakes" The man said. They then walked picked up their clothes and threw them to them. "Go put some clothes on before i am going to be sick just looking at you" he said and then he grabbed his wife and walked out leaving sheridan and luis speechless. Sheridan and Luis just looked at each other quickly put on their clothes and went outside. "uh this is not what it looks like" Sheridan muttered. The man was facing same and the others when he turned around.

"oh really, well it darn well looks like it to me,okay lets go though the evidence shall we..okay you two were on the bathroom florr without any clothes making love...now what you do think you were doing then" Sheridan took a breath and gave in.." oh so okay you are right we were but whats it to you anyway its our business not yours." The man got angry.. "THIS IS A HOSPITAL FOR GOODNESS SAKES, there are places you could have done those things anyone could have walked in..children did you ever think of that? no of course not you were just wrapped up within yourselves to even care" Hew then took his wife and walked off leaving luis and sheridan with whole hospital watching.

Sam , Hank and Agent freeman walked toward them and stared at them then same spoke. "i cant beieve you catually did that, couldn't you have waitiing til you got home you see what happens if you get caught , you lucky that man is not going to the hospital board with a compaint, now why don't you go home, you ahve been through enough " Sam told them.

As soon as Sheridan opened the door and stepped inside Luis held her up on the door and began kissing her and removing her clothes bit by bit. They slammed into the door overcome with their passion and luis for each other. "oh now luis. i need you now!! take me! take me now!" she urgently demanded. Luis did that she wanted , he picked her up kissing her every step of the way toward the bedroom then placing her down on the bed taking off the rest of their clothes in the process devouring each other every way possible.

But first he thought a game would make them being together more better . "sheridan just wait here, we are going to play a game something im sure you will like" luis whispered to her while kissing her neck. Sheridan was excited at the thought of what he might have in store for her , so she waited as luis went and got his hundcuffs from his pocket and brought in whip cream. "Luis what are you up to, and why do you have your handcuffs and the whip cream" she giggled.

"ooh cant tell, its a secret" he said. he told her to close her eyes then he took her by her hands and pulled them over her head and handcuffed them to the bed post so that she could move even if she wanted to. Sheridan was delighted " Oh handcuffs i like the sound of this..i wonder what else you have planned . Luis smiled and then took out the cream and started to pour it on her body. "ooh thats cold luis and what are you planning now"she said mischieviously. She then was shocked and surprised to see him then climb on her putting his head down and lick all the cream off her body starting with her breast, sucking in the tastes of them in the process then his mouth travels down to her stomach . Luis gets hot and full of luis when she moan as he is spooning up the cream with his hot tongue.

"god luis......i need you so much , i gotta have you now!!" she panted and breathed heavily. Sheridan arched her back and moved as she also lowered her hips toward his. Luis can feel the lust through her eyes and the excitment when he neares her entrance. "now luis , make love to me now, i need you so much right now or i am going to explode." As Luis enters her she moans our his name "Luis...oooh yes!! you made me feel so good." As he starts to move within her first slow and then he picks up the pace it is like they are dancing within each other like a song they don't want to ever stop. Sheridan then screams so hard she is afraid that the whole town would have heard but right then and there they were the only two people in the world nothing else matters.

2 hrs later they were panting and exhausted they then fell asleep after so much "strenous activity" . That night each of them separately dreamt of each other of what it would be like when he proposes to her. Luis wakes up and turns and looks at sheridan sleeping peacefully with a smile on her face and wonders what she is dreaming about and wonders if it is too soon to ask her to marry him he wonders what she would say as they have not been together that long, should they wait as he know in his heart that they are soul mates and that they belong together forever and he hopes that she thinks the same way.

Meanwhile sheridan was dreaming the exact same thing and hopes that he feels the same thing that she does and she cant wait til get married but doesn't want to push him into proposing she wants him to do it on his own but she hopes it is soon as she knows that they are going to be together forever she has never been so sure about anything else before. Sheridan wakes up just has luis went back to sleep, she loves watching him sleep. She wonders how long it will be until he proposes but she realizes that she can wait until he is ready as what they have here and now is the best thing in the world and she wouldn't trade it in for anything in the world. She then falls back asleep in his arms .

Chapter 8:

A few hours later as the sun came up luis woke with sheridan in his arms . "good morning sleepy head you looked like you were having a good dream?" He could tell by the smile on her face . Sheridan turned around and kissed before sitting up. Luis turned her chinaround so that she was facing him. "sheridan if you could have one wish right now what would it be?" Luis asked hoping it was what he was thinking and hoping her answer would be. "anything? hmm..thats a long list..but serious if i could have one thing right now it would be for the man i love to ask me to marry him. But wishes don't come true even if they are hyperthetical...why do you ask luis"

Luis smiled and kissed her softly on the lips. " well no reason..come on we better get up cause i have a surprise and i sure hope you like it" he commented. Sheridan was shocked and grined happily at luis, she loved surprises especially when they for her and couldn't wait to see what he has planned. "a surprise..i love surprises , okay what is it?" she was trying to convince him to tell her with her sexy charms to no avail. "well if i told you then it wouldn't be a surprise would it, so come on go have a shower while i make a phone call and then i'll come join you" he winked at her as he watched sheridan step of bed and walk toward the bathroom.

Luis put on a robe and dailed a number " ah yes hank its me..could you do something for me..i wnat to plan a surprise for sheridan..now this is what i want you to do......" he said into the phone as he told hank all the details and hopefull he could get it done in time before he got sheridan there , now for a diversion for a while. He remembered and smiled as he went to join her in the shower. "hey stranger what brings you here.." sheridan said sexily when she saw luis come though the bathroom and into the shower.

"well i thought we could have a little fun before i took you on the surprise that i am planning for you..so how about it" he replied heatily. In response Sheridan kissed him and they made love in the shower, another of one of their many best love-making spots..they nearly have christened every room in the cotttage, soon they would have to pick a unusual place..maybe even do a risk and try somewhere a little bit more public . 30 min they got out and got dressed and he led her to a park which was filled with her favourite flowers, rose petals on the ground which led to a picnic clanket which was covered with every food she liked plus champagne.

"Luis what is this..what did i deserve to be treated this way..ive never felt so loved, secure and safe before you are my love, my life and im never going to let you go again, i may have been folish for me to realize what we have is too special very rare, well now i ahve im never going to let it go " sheridan told luis and he could tell by her eyes that she meant ever word of it. Luis couldn't keep his eyes off her , it seemed like every time he sees her she becomes more beautiful. "all you did was being yourself and thats what i love about you, you never try being somone your not, you always speak your mind and say what your feeling-well most of the time anyway, i'll always treat you like a princess the way you should always be treated and from now on you will be you are mine now and im going to keep it that way."

Luis then took out a little round box that was in the basket that was sitting on the grass and opened up to reveal a gorgeous, spetacular 24 carat dimond ring. Sheridans heart was pounding , she didn't expect this to happen she thought this day would never come , she loves him so much she never wanted to leave his side again. Sheridan couldn't help but smiled as luis produced the ring. Luis got down on one knee toook her hand cleared his voice. "sheridan crane, would you do me the greatest honor , making my life complete and say you'll become my wife. will you marry me"? Luis looked straight into her beautiful blue sparkling eyes to see if he could see what she was thinking.

Chapter 9:

Sheridan grined when she saw luis propose. "Yes luis, i will marry you, yes a thousand times yes!" She said excitely then luis then picked her up and swung her around kissing her more deeply and passionate he was so happy sheridan has made him the happiest man alive. He then picked her up and carried her into the bedroom. Sheridan was stepping backwards as they walked and they fellon the bed kissing and then they started to make love in celebration for this momentem occasion. The next day Sheridan rang Ethan and was about to tell him about her engagement when he told to switchg on the news and there it was she was in absolute shock .

Julian and Alistair had been arrested for martin fitzgerald's murder, police had found the body and also of many others that had crossed alistair in the past under the crane estate there had seemed to be a basement where it seemed that they were held hostage until Alistair thought they were no use to him anymore. Sheridan and Luis were in complete shock, they didn't expect this would happen. "OMG! i can't believe this is happening i had a suspicion that Alistair could have killed him but i didn't have any proof so i let my family believe that he could come back one day and now that has gone out the window. There is no denying it now, papa was murdered by alisrair and more like julian was a witness." Luis said in anger and frustration.

Sheridan comforted him " i know honey how you feel...i lost my mother too...well if she didn't die of depression that i think if she got closer to something taht alistair didn't want her to know then would have killed her , they deserve everything they get i do not have a family anymore apart from ethan and you...thats all i care about, julian and my father i do not care or want to know about" Sheridan said. The next time sheridan and luis saw ethan and the rest of the gang they told them their wonderful news that they are back together and that luis proposed and she accepted. They had agreed to have a engagement party after the trial of Julian and Alistair's crimes, then they could get on with their lives, live in peace and be hapy for the rest of their lives once and for all.

A few days later as the trial began there was many people testifying including sheridan herself she had to tell what had exactly she remembered all those years ago on that aweful night that she thought she had killed somone and there was also a secret person who was testifying for them they didn't know who it was. As sheridan was brought onto the stand, the prosecutor had asked her about taht night. " Ms Crane.. i believe you told us that one night when you were a child you remember something aweful happening that you thought you had done something wrong but Alistair and Julian had told you it was a dream right? well i want you to tell the courtroom if you can what exactly you do remember..can you do that for us?" the lawyer asked gently.

Sheridan looked right at Alistair and Julian and took a deep breath . "yes okay i can..well his is what i remember it was when i was a young girl, i was sleeping upstairs when i had heard a noise coming from the living room, so i had gone down to see what that noise was and then i saw a shadow and then 2 other men also there was yelling and i was so scared i didn't know what to do.....next i remember is i see a man stab another man with a letter opener i turn to leave when i see all 2 eyes ..men's eyes watching me, realizing that i had seen what had just happened. I remember their faces becoming clearer, it was JUliand Alistair and they had just killed Martin Fitzgerald, " she cried out .

"do you think you can continue" the lawyer said. Sheridan took a sip of the water she had in front of her and swollowed. "yes i think i can ..so then i tried running out of the room but they had caught me and alistair had something in his hand like a needle..like an injection of some kind, i see them injecting something into me and i pass out...when i woke again i was on th couch with a bloody letter opener in my hand not exactly knowing what had happened, so then i looked down and saw a body with a bloody sheet on the floor and a coffin had just arrived.

There was this voice, im pretty sure it was my father telling me that i was a bad bad girl that no-one would love me after what i had done so then i obviously thought i had killed spmeone , i kept denying anything and then Alistair comes and picks me up as i am kicking and screaming to be let go i was being taken away someplace, a place for me to forget what happened that night i then opened my eyes while i was dragged upstairs to see a boy standing in the door way im sure he had seen and heard everything that had happened and then i remember who he was cause he and his brother used to play with me sometimes, not much but sometimes and i was happy as i didn't have any friends , father didn't let me, that boy was ANTONIO-LOPEZ-FITZGERALD!!!" Sheridan was crying now.

The judge looked at sheridan. "Thank youMiss Crane, you may step down...counciler do you have any more witnesses?" The laywer walked toward the front, and calmly says " yes your honor, our surprise witness one that hasn't been seen for a long time ANTONIO LOPEZ-FITGERALD." The courtroom goes wild as the doors open and who do they see in the flesh but has grown up but the older Lopez-Fitzgerald botyer standing in the doorway. Everyone gasps .

Chapter 10:

The courtroom all of a sudden goes all quiet they turn toward the back as Antonio walks toward the witness stand. As he walked from the back toward the witness box everyones eyes were on him like a hound dog. As he sat down the lawyer came toward him "state your name for us" Antonio looked around the room seeing his mother, brothers and sister and then looked back toward the lawyer "Antonio Lopez fitzgerald" The lawyer came to the witness box and apraoched him. "Antonio , what exactly do you know what happened at the crane estate so many years ago, the night your father had disappeared, i gather you heard of what sheridan remembered.. if her memory and yours the same"

The lawyer went over all the details of what sheridan said ..and antonio remembers those exact events. "yes thats exactly what happened" The lawyer seemed curious and confused ....." so okay we know that is true now..what exactly happened to you...you seemed to have disappeared right after it happened."

Antonio closed his eyes took a deep breath and open them again. "well after alistair and julian had caught me in the doorway they decided they could not have me telling anyone what had happened there so they took me away, trying to make me believe that what happened wasn't true, they even tried brainwashing but when i have my mind on something nothing can make me forget no matter how much someone tries so after so much trying Alistair sent me to many schools always keeping an eye on me but i never liked them as it just wasn't my thing so one day i just ran away and i traveled around trying to find someplace where he wouldn't find me so then one day i found myself in bermuda , a small island and i have been there ever since, alistair had threatened me if i ever came back, he would do something to my family and i know he would cause i had seen what he is capable of.."

"Thank you Mr Lopez-Fitzgerald, thats all, you may step down" As soon as he did he went to his family and hugged them. "ooh your home, your home, i knew it, i knew you would come back i have been hoping for years" pilar said crying, overjoyed that her eldest son had come back to her. They then sat down and waited for teh court to come back in session for the verdict. The judge faced the jury. "have you reached a verdict?" "yes we have your honor" one of the jury had said. "what say you..." " we find the defendants guilty on all charges," the jury says.

Everyone was shocked as everything knows Julian and Alistair thought they could get out of everything but not in this case. "would the defendants please rise...as you have been charged guilty on all chages baed on facts i then sentence you 50 yrs without parole. " nooooo..." julian yells " one more word and you can make that 60" the judge looks angry just as julian shuts up. Sheridan just stares at them as they are taken away . Luis walks to her and comforts her. "shh its okay....im sorry i know you are hurting to see what they have done..." he said very soothing as he takes her in his arms as she cries.

Sheridan lifts up her head and looks at him, drys her eyes. "its okay luis..i knew that they didn't care about me and this prooved that they dont care about anything or anyone but themselves.

Sheridan and Luis were all smiles and everyone was just speechless. She held out her hand to show them her ring then Theresa ran up to her and hugged her. " OMG sheridan its gorgeous, i cant believe this we're going to become sisters!!! " Theresa practically screamed. Luis looked from Theresa to Pilar who still looked in shock but happy. " mama, is there something wrong?" Luis said confused.

Pilar's expression changed from surprised, shocked to delightful and happy. " oh no Luis nothing is wrong its just perfect im so happy that you tow are together and engaged there's nothing more i want and im sure everyone would agree that Sheridan is just perfect for you and will always be the one and only love of your life i could see if months ago when you two couldn't even see it." She smiled and went and hugged Sheridan. While Sheridan and Pilar embraced Luis walked over to Ethan and Ivy and prepared to make amends with Ethan . "Ethan , i would just like to say im sorry i was wrong about you and for Theresa and Sheridans sakes i would like to start over , what do you say?" Luis held out his hand .

Ethan was surprised " Luis .. wow .. i never thought you would say that but of course i would like to start over... " he took and shook Luis's hand and the girls stood there grinning at them hoping that now that Julian and Alistaor were in jail they could begin again have a happy family and finally live their lives without being told what they can or cannot do or being manipulated. Ethan let go " Luis you are a lucky man ..Sheridan is one specila woman ther's no-one like her." Luis looked at Sheridan smiled and then turned back to Ethan "Dont i know it, and i will be thanking god everyday for bringing her in my life and for letting me fianlly realize that i love her and cannot live without her"

The men looked at the girls and headed back to the group. Theresa looked as excited as Sheridan . " Guys we need to start planning your wedding.. first there is the engagement party, bridal shower, flowers, church, so much to do. have you set a date im good at these things you know?" Theresa was talking so much the rest of them just strated laughing at how excited she was like it was her wedding . Pilar was laughing so much at Theresa's excitment. "wow Theresa relax and calm down im sure they will tell you when they want things planned or Sheridan may want to do it herself you as excited as Sheridan herself."

Theresa nodded and quietened. Pilar was silent. "ahh Sheridan, i have something important i should tell you, ive kept quoet for many year now cause Julian and Alistair warned me not to say anything but now that they are in jail and cannot hurt anyone anymore i think its time . *took a deep breath* Sheridan this may shock you, ok here goes.. Sheridan you are not a Crane" Pilar finally said.. Everyone gasped not really understanding.

Chapter 12:

Sheridan, Luis, Theresa and Ethan were so shocked thier mouth were practically hanging open not really taking in what was said and disbelieving. Sheridan looked at Luis then at Pilar with her eyes wide open from shock and confusion. "Pilar, im confused, what do you mean im not a Crane, of course i am what else could i be.. i need to know i don't understand, it doesnt make sense, why would you say im not a Crane.?" Sheridan rambled on so fast , sounded as though if she didn't get out the words she would be speechless.

Pilar looked at Sheridan and then toward the others and back at Sheridan as she was prepared to tell all, after all these years she now knew that everything must come out . "Sheridan i don't think this is the place to get into this, come on lets all go somewhere more private, lets go home and i will reveal all to you, there have been so many secrets that have been kept hidden for many many years and i think its about time they come out." Pilar then lead them out the door of the court and back to the home of the Lopez-Fitzgeralds. Once they were all inside they were all anxious to know what Pilar was keeping from the rest if them . Luis went up to Pilar "Mama can you now tell us the truth, why you said that Sheridan wasn't a Crane and what the other secrets are that you have been keeping these past years?"

" Okay Luis i will tell everyone , come on lets sit down im sure you will need to anyway after you hear what i have to say." Pilar told them as they sat down on the sofa. They were all waiting for Pilar to start Sheridan had a feeling that whatever was bottled up inside Pilar it would change her life forever she always though Pilar was protecting her as a child and even now but never pushed to why. " Okay here goes- i don't want anyone to interrupt or else i may never be able to get it out so over twenty five years ago Your mother Sheridan was a dear dear friend of mine and she always confided to me all her troubles with Alistair and how lonely her life had become, Alistair as cold as ice feeling that he never has and never will love her and that their marriage was just a business dealing, this is what it felt to her and Alistair never denied it, he always kept to himself, never really wanted to be interested in whatever Katherine wanted or liked .

It got worse after Julian was born he was a true bred Crane Heir just like Alistair had wanted, he was the perfect image of his selfish, unbearable father. So one day She decided to go for a walk into the park to clear her head she was so sick of Alistair and his coldness towards her and didn't think she could live like that anymore, so one minute she was reading and then the next she looked up and saw a man staring at her...she was curious as this has not been the first time, whenever she went she saw him

looking at her in admiration so this particular day she decided to go and talk to him, that man was Ben Bennett - Sam's father... so aftre that day they spent so many times together, their friendship turned into love, this was the first time she has loved someone completely as she had thought she loved Alistair but compared to this it was nothing.. A few months later she had found herself pregnant and it was Ben's child they had planned on her divorcing Alistair and them getting married and raising their child together but it never worked out that way.. you see Alistair found out everything..i don't know how.. how does he know anything before anyone..so anyway after he found out he confronted them separately and threatened that they would lose everything if they did what they planned but they refused and after much arguing Alistair took Katherine to an underground place- someone where no-one would ever find her.. he kept her hidden and locked down in this basement celler til she gave birth and when she did he then gave her a drug that would loose her memory" Pilar finally concluded her story.

Sheridan was practically crying she was very emotion which was expected, Luis was holding her and trying to comfort her. "damit Alistair, why do you always ruin peoples lives.."She cried in Luis's arms. Luis's heart was breaking to see Sheridan the love of his life his precious Princess torn up inside and in pieces he just wanted to take away the paina nd loss from her. "Shh baby its going to be alright... no-one can hurt you now!!" Luis said while cradling her. While Luis cradled her she kept on saying "im not a Crane!! , not a Crane!! how could he do this to my true parents who loved each other very much, i always knew something wasn't right in that house why Alistair always hated me never loved me i always felt out of place not belonging" Sheridan said and then sat up and wiped away her tears.

"Well its good that Alistair and Julian have gotten what they deserve you see you are nothing like Alistair i always said that and this is why..you a true daughter of a true loving family , we'll have to tell Sam and the family soon" Luis told Sherdan very calmly truing not to upset her too much especially after everything that had happened today. "I know Luis..we can do it tomorrow ...Pilar you said there was something else you had been keeping, okay what is it, it cant be as bad as just you juse told us?" Sheridan had stopped crying and now focused on Pilar and her expression.

Pilar looked down. "Sheridan im sorry i know what i just told you must be shocking but this is all true, that was only one of the secrets i was told not to ever leave that house but the next thing is something very much worse..i really hope you are ready to handle it.." Pilar looked really sad hoping she is doing the right thing in what she is about to say.

"Yes Pilar i am ready for anything." Sheridan said confidently but alittle scared at what this truth will bring her pain or hapiness and she had a gut feeling she wasn't going to be happy. Pilar continued . " well this started when you Sheridan was about 11 yrs old on a very dark and stormy frightful night................" Pilar stated.

To Be Continued…

Chapter 13:

Sheridan looks down and tears start to stream down from her eyes. "yeah, i remember that night.. its kinda hard to forget ." Pilar go up and sat next to Sheridan taking a deep breath Pilar began to tell her what had really happened that night. "okay Sheridan what im about to say will shock you, not like you shocked already but this will totally blow your mind, but i think you deserve to know the truth and im agoing to give it to you since nothing or no-one can hurt you anymore."

"Okay so i always said that i left the estate and went home that night but i was only half telling the truth.. i was about to go home but i came back as i was worried that you might have one of your nightmares you were very lonely so i came back and when i went back inside i saw you standing in the doorway of the living room of course no-one saw me they were distracted by what was going on. I then saw Alistair kill someone at first i couldnt make out his face as it was really dark then as his face became clearer i see that it is sam's i mean your father..Alistair had killed him. I guess for the reason that he found out that she was pregnant and that it wasnt his and that she was going to leave him and nobody leaves a Crane.

Then Julian and Alistair went upstairs for a minute and i saw you go towards the body see the letter opener you pick it up and go to the body and you touch it even though it is covered , you get blood on your hands and you freak out then Alistair and Julian come back and he sees you saying you are a bad girl, what he really mean not that you knew it at the time was that you had witnessed something you shouldnt have and thats why he tried to convince you it was a dream and then sent you to europe." Pilar concludes her final secret.

"so Sheridan you are not responsible for anything that happened that night, it was all Julian and Alistair's fault and they have got what they deserve. Pilar got up and faced both of them " um.. im going to make some tea, would anyone like some.. sheridan..? Sheridan nodded and Pilar went into the kitchen. Luis then sat down and wrapped his arms around sheridan and held her tight and she cries so much that it hurt him to see her in pain. "shh.. i know" he cradled her in his arms trying to reassure her thats everything's going to be okay. Sheridan was pouring her eyes out , she then sits up wiping the tears from her eyes. "im sorry Luis, i didn't tell you what my nightmares had been about, i guess i was scared it was so horrible that you would hate me and i couldnt stand that." Luis took her chin and caressed it.

"baby..i understand im not upset, im just glad its all in the open and we can get on with our lives..finally.. They both smiled and Luis kissed her and they both leaned back against the couch. They were so into each other that they didn't notice Pilar enter the room Pilar cleared her voice "um.. hope im not interrupting?" she chuckled. Looks like you two need your privacy , why dont you tow go back to the cottage , Ethan and Theresa left to visit ivy and you two have alot of catching up to do it seems and you cant do it here. "

Sheridan looked at Luis and smiled "yeah i think thats a great idea, come on lets go..thanks again Pilar for all you have done, i know you have kept that for a long time i think i needed to hear that to give me closure." She smiled and held on Luis's hand. Pilar smiled. "I know i should have told you sooner, i guess i was afriad if i did, Alistair would do something to you i was only trying to protect you." Luis took Sheridan hand and said good bye to Pilar and he and Sheridan left and took for the cottage where they want to go there lock the door and not come out for days.

Chapter 14:

Sheridan could barely get inside the door when all of a sudden Luis grabbed her and kissed her , she was shocked and surprised by his aggressiveness but then returned his kiss. She smiled and they stepped backward toward the bedroom taking a step at a time with each step they each removed a piece of clothing and by the time they entered the bedroom they were close to naked which suited them both fine its not like there's anything they have not seen before. They made love over and over again revealing something new , something else that they give each other a new experience .

It was like they couldnt stop, a force that makes them stick together, after hours and hours of deep passionate love making they will stop to breath and then go at it again this was repeatitive thoughout the following days . By the end of the week they were both tired and exhausted but as well as happy and content, sheridan felt like the luckiest girl in the world and also the safest. A few days later they thought they were so anxious to get married that they decided to have a short engagement and to plan their wedding as quickily as possible.

Sheridan got Theresa and Ivy to help her plan the wedding it was sceduled to take plan in a few short months Sheridan liked the idea of a spring wedding out under the gazebo on the Crane estate woth flowers everyone , everyone loved that idea but also there was so much to plan and a few months didn't sound like enough time so they got to work. As they planned the flowers, ceremony, she began to write her vows and Luis also it was easy for them to write theirs as all they had to do was picure each other and they words just flowed out and onto paper.

Two months passes and Sheridan didn't tell anyone but for the last month she had been feeling really horrible and had no idea what it could be she was nauseous, dizzy, light headed so after one of her dress fittings she made an appointment with eve. After many tests Sheridan became to become worried and she hoped it wasnt anything serious. "so eve , come on tell me.. whats wrong with me.. am i going to be okay?" Sheridan said desperately. Eve smiled , she had a feeling what it could have been after all the symptoms that Sheridan had described . "No, its nothing too serious Sheridan , well what you have wont be cured for at least 5-6 months time." Eve said as she grined at her.

Sheridan was in shock, no it couldnt be..could it. "what! no.. couldnt be.. i couldnt ..could i?... are you saying that im..." Eve took sheridan s hand and smiled trying to assure Sheridan that its what she thinks it is. "Yes Sheridan.. you are pregnant.. you are 3 months pregnant. congradulations" Sheridan stood up all a thousand thoughts flew around her head. She was pregnant.. how..when..is this happy news..what would Luis say.. "Pregnant, Pregnant..im pregnant" Sheridan look of surprise turned to a smile. "omg! im pregnant.." she said to herself just now realizing that it was all true. She wondered what would happen now, how would she tell Luis.

To Be Continued…

Chapter 15:

Sheridan went back to the cottage and paced for hours agonizing on how to tell Luis about her being pregnant, she knew that she had to as she will be showing soon eve had told her she was 4 months pregnant so she had to think of a way to tell him and she hoped he will be happy. She stopped pacing when an idea came to her and she smiled knowing this was a great idea to let him know. Luis was at the station when he started thing how wierd sheridan was acting today and then told him to show up at the cottage at 7pm for a surprise.

He smiled and headed back home to change before heading back to the cottage. Luis stopped and paused "I wonder what Sheridan is up to, i have not seen her this mysterious since..well ive never seen her this secretive before..must be something major."Luis though to himself before walking toward his car. Luis got dressed in his finest clothes, he had a feeling tonight was going to change his life forever. On his way to the cottage he picked up a bunch of white tulipshe always said they always look as beautiful as she does. He parked his car and walked up the walk toward her front door , he knocked and a minute later Sheridan answered looking like the most beautiful woman on earth. "wow sheridan you look..um..amazing, incredible..you've never looked so beautiful like you have a glow to you ive never seen before but it makes you look more gorgeous as ever" Luis finally breathed a breath of air.

Sheridan grinned at him and blushed "Thank - you Luis.. you dont look too bad yourself.." Sheridan then sees something in his hand "Um..Luis..what are those in your hand?" Sheridan inquired pointing to the Tulips. Luis innocently smiled.."What..these? ooh yeah *laughs* these are for you my beautiful princess." Sheridan took them in her hands and smelled their essence taking in the aroma of them. She then suddenly realized that Luis was still standing in the doorway. "Sorry Luis..come on in..i was so mezmorized by them and you that i forgot you were still standing out there."

Luis smiled and follwed Sheridan inside where he is in shock as he looks around and sees candles everywhere around the room, soft music playing, rose petals on the floor and a romantic dinner for two. "Sheridan, you did all this.. how..when..why?" Luis couldnt believed she did this she amazes him every time and he loves her more each day. Sheridan smiled and led him toward the table. "You'll find all all in good time,good things come to those who wait" Luis nodded and they fed each other lobster with salad and then for desert is strawberrys and cream.

A while later they were sitting on the floor Sheridan had put down some blankets and they were lying in each others arms by the fire when Sheridan thought this was the time to give him her hints. "Luis..i have a surprise for you, and i do hope you like it what im going to say but first im going to let you guess but see we're going to play a game, this is how it works.. i will take out objects and drop you hints and i will see how long it takes you to guess my surprise okay?" Sheridan was now excited of how she knew something Luis didn't and she liked playing this game with him.

Luis nodded in agreement and grinned at her wondering what was going on but i guess he had to was to wait and find out. First Sheridan handed him a rattle, followed by baby clothes, then a cup with daddy on it. Sheridan glowed in joy and waited for Luis's response. Luis was thinking..he had no idea what was going on .. then he thought he got it. "I know..Boy ive been so blind..all this stuff. you trying to tell me gently that Theresa's Pregnant..ooh god..she's so young..she shouldnt ahve gotten herself into this mess..wonder what mama will say when she finds out" Luis blurted out so fast that Sheridan didn't know what hit her. Sheridan was staring at Luis in silence, complete shock..he didn't get it, she thought he would by now .

"No, no Luis.. Theresa is NOT pregnant.. why would you think i was talking about Theresa?" Luis was dumbfounded.."ah.. because you gave all these hints and those things i just assumed as you knew how i could take it.. my little sister pregnant..ooh wait a minute..you said Theresa is not pregnant..if she isn't then someone we know much be..so who is it." Sheridan tried to explain and had to try again. "Um.. Luis..." She stated. Luis looked into her eyes and saw something that gave him the answer. "wow..wait a second.. dont tell me you are saying you are pregnant" Luis's heart was beating wishing it were true hoping for a miracle to thats what she was hinting at and he was just too blind to see it.

Sheridan finally breathed. "Yes, Luis..thats exactly what im saying. i ahve been trying to tell you..i thought you would have figured it out by now, i hope your not disappointed as i know this is not what we planned so early and we are getting married and do you feel this has all gone too fast?" "No, Sheridan this is the best news ever.im sorry it took me so long to work out, i guess i didn't expect this, not that im not happy about it, im more than happy..you just gave me the most best news i could ever ask for. and no i dont think we are moving too fast, i know we didn't plan this but this is a gift from god giving us a special child that will bind us together forever..concieved from our love and all that is good."

Luis pulled Sheridan toward him and embraced her and she cries , tears of happiness and joy she said then then pulled and way and cupped her chin and gave her a sweet yet passionate kiss that prooved his love for her and then they make love not as single people or a couple but as engaged parents to-be and they then feel soundly asleep in each others arms.

Chapter 16:

The next morning Luis woke up to the sound of the bathroom door slaming and sounds of someone being sick, without thinking he got up and being to walk toward the bathroom, he opened the door and saw Sheridan throwing up. He Walked up toward her and rubbed her back gently "Sheridan, honey, whats wrong?" Luis asked not realizing about the morning sickness part. Sheridan's throwing up had stopped and she stood up and looked at him looking pale as a ghost.

"Luis..this is what you call morning sickness....its very common but doesnt feel too good."She replied before walking back into the bedroom. Luis then is surprised to see her go to her closet and take out a few clothes and getting ready to put them on. "Sheridan, what are you doing, you should stay in bed and rest you dont look too good."

She smiled faintly."Luis honey i need to get dressed for one i cant stay in bed just beacuse of morning sickness it only happens in the morning and then im much beter for the rest of the day and another thing i have a appointment with eve" Sheridan said quietly. Luis looked at her with this "i have no idea whats going on" look in his eyes "um..eve?..why do you need to see eve?" Sheridan chuckled realizing how Luis didn't know anything about this stuff maybe she should buy him a book on a woman's pregnacy.

"Well..today she is going to do a checkup..on the baby and to see if everythings going alright..so i need to get dressed or im going to be late." Sheridan then went back into the bathroom had a quick shower and got dressed when she got out she saw that Luis was standing there already dressed as well. Sheridan looked confused. "Luis..do you have work..where are you off to?" She said as she picked up her shoes to put them on and to grab her purse. Luis shrugged.

"No, as a matter of fact i have other plans..i am accompanying you to your appointment, i want to know and be there every step through your pregnancy , you stuck with me, like it or not." Sheridan laughed and smiled..."ooh i knew you were going to say something along those lines..i was only teasing you..i knew you would come if or not i asked you ..so i was just testing you to see what you would do."

Luis rolled his eyes and laughed.."Ha, Ha, Ha ..very funnny Sheridan.. but i mean it i want to be there during everything." He smiled and hugged her then Sheridan then looked at her watch and realized that it was nearly time. "Come , lets go dont wait to be late for the destiny of our perfect unborn child." Sheridan said as she pulled him toward the front door and they then left the cottage and headed toward the hospital.

10 minutes later they arrived at the hospital and saw Eve down the hallway as soon as Eve saw them she smiled and motioned them to come over. "Well. it seems you have told Luis the good news and you both look as happy as ive seen you."Eve said noticing how they couldnt stop smiling or the way they kept looking at each other. Sheridan nodded and smiled in a thank you to Eve for the wonderful gift that Eve had given them when she ran the tests and told Sheridan she was expecting.

They both then followed Eve into the examining room where Sheridan would have her check-up but when Luis approached the room "Um..Luis..i hate to say this but maybe you sould wait here for a few minutes while i do a examination on Sheridan..as it can be abit embarasing for a girl...you know..but you can come in as soon as we are finished i have something to show you both, something im sure you will be both glad to see." Eve carefuly asked Luis. Luis nodded in agreement as he went to tell Sheridan that he would be a few minutes that until she was finished he would come in.Luis then waited outside for about 15 minutes before Eve came out to tell him that she was finished the examination and that he could come in now.

Once Luis was seated Eve came to them and smiled. "Hey Luis, Sheridan..would you like to see your baby?" Eve said as she smiled Sheridan was practically jumping for joy and Luis looked like he was burst. "Yes please Eve we would love that..omg we can see our baby Luis..isnt that wonderful..i love him/her already and i cant wait til i hold the baby in my arms and i wont want to let go, this has my dream."Sheridan said so quickly she felt like her heart was beating like a drum.

Luis agreed exactly and kissed her forehead and then sat back down on the chair. Eve nodded and got everything together a few minutes later Eve has some cream on her stomach and Sheridan giggled. Eve then motioned for them to look up on the screen they then heard a pouncing sound and Eve told then that it was thir child's heartbeat..they were glued to the monitor as Eve told them that what was on the screen was the making of their child..Eve them gave them the biggest surprise of all.

"hey Sheridan would you like to know the baby's sex, whether its a baby girl or boy?" Eve asked her. Sheridan and Luis looked at each other and smiled. "Yes Eve, we would like to know..i cant wait to start picking out names and decorating the nursery and so much more so im dying to know..what am i having a girl or boy?" Sheridan asked Eve took a breath.

"It sure looks like it that it is a baby girl...congradulations guys..i can just imagine her..gorgeous blue eyes and golden blonde hair just like you..and strong, trustly, and has a lot of faith just like you Luis..ooh now im getting excited as well" Eve replied she grinned at them in the joyful moment. A little while later Sheridan got dressed and thanked Eve for everything and Eve then had to make another appointment for sheridan to come back every two weeks to see how she is progressing while Eve left to do that Luis and Sheridan were sitting on the hospital bed gazing at each other.

Sheridan smiled then finally spoke.."ooh Luis..im just so happy ..i cant wait til we are married and our little girl is born and we can live the life we have always wanted." Luis gazed into her beautiful eyes "yes me too Sher...thats the most important thing in my life having you and our baby girl with me, us getting married and being together forever the way it was always meant to be." Luis then helped Sheridan up and they walked hand in hand out the door and home to enjoy this momentious occasion.

Chapter 17:

The following day Luis and Sheridan woke up in each others arms happy that everything has gone so right and that even though their life wont always be perfect that there will be problems like all marraiges but they will work their way through them as they love each other so much nothing can keep them apart. Pilar, Theresa, Ethan, Miguel, Ivy arrived at the cottage awhile later and they decided to tell them the extra good news about the their baby girl that would be born within a few short months. Theresa , Pilar and Ivy went to Sheridan to give their congradulations.

"OMG!! i cannot wait to be an Aunt..im going to be the best..Sheridan can i feel her, would she kick?" Theresa asked excitely little a little girl on Christmas day . Sheridan Smiled and nodded and took Theresa's hand and put it on her round stomach..a few seconds later..Theresa giggled. "Sheridan i ..felt her.."She managed to mumble. "I cant believe . feels so incredible, you are so lucky i cant wait til i start having children when i can experience this for myself." Theresa smiled and hugged her.

Theresa then planned on an idea before Sheridan and Luis's Engagement party that was being held the following night She came up with a bridal shower , she told Ivy and pilar of her idea and they thought it was plendid and they agreed they they would pitch in the details. The girls had to excuse themselves to get started on the details, catering, guestlist..etc..and Miguel and Ethan planned on orgainising a Bachelor party for Luis.. so each of them had a surprise and they had no idea what was going on.

The following day..Sheridan and Luis separately were picking out their clothes for that evening(luis is at his house and Sheridan at the cottage) then at each place there was a knock on the door when they went to answer it they were blindfolded and taken to a unknown destination. Luis was so shocked by these turn of events he didn't know what was going on, he was confused ..he was alll in silence as he felt being shoved in a car with 2 other guys that their voices were so low he couldnt make them out but somehow seemed familair but didn't know why.

"Come on.. who the hell is this.. what is going on here, where are you taking me.." Luis said angrily then remembered the party "Come on, if this is a sick joke then i am going to get whoever you are and arrest you buts back into jail..im a cop and i do mean what i say so come and let me go."Luis tried untying the ropes that held his hand together beind his back but it did no good which meant that he had no way of escpaing either they were going to kill him or that they were just a bunch of kids playing a practically joke and if they are then who the hell were they are why would they do this, they didn't know who he was.

Sheridan was done exactly the same but much more gently and into a limo they seem to take careful precaution like they knew she was pregnant or something. 30 minutes later Sheridan and Luis were being took out of their cars and into a cabin. Luis could have sworn he heard voices but then the next minute it was quiet, he could talk as they had put something over his mouth so he couldnt speak.The next minute Both Luis and then Sheridan felt their gags and blindfolds being removed and also the rope that held their hands behind their back.

Once Their blindfolds were off and they could see , they lights were switched on and they were shocked by what was in front of them. "SURPRISE!!! " all of a sudden the cabin was filled up with dozens of people with smiling faces and there was a banner saying CONGRADULATONS ON YOUR ENGAGEMENT .... Sheridan and Luis were so completely shocked and definitely surprised by this whole thing they had no idea.

"OMG! "Sheridan laughed and smiled at the look of everything. She went to talk to Theresa , Ivy and Pilar and they told her about that this was their plan .. that she would be surprised by her idea of a perfect Bridal shower combined with the engagement party. Luis went over to Ethan and Miguel and they told him the same thing but instead of the bridal shower it would be his Bachelor Party combined by the engagement. Luis went over to Sheridan and hugged her then kissed her and they both looked around at their friends and what they had done and they laughed.

"Can you actually believe what they have done, this is so unexpected.." Luis told Sheridan. Sheridan smiled at him. "yeah..i know took me for quite a shock too..dont we have great friends and family though. Luis nodded in agreement.. Later after the party they had their independant parties At Sheridan's Bridal and baby shower She was given gift for her weddding and for the baby and they talked girl stuff

Then Theresa had an idea , when everyone left and all was left was all the girls.. Charity, Theresa, Sheridan put on some music and did a strip tease for their guys and they loved every bit of it. Thir eyes were practically popping out of their heads as the girls began to strip slowly. Once it was over.. Everyone was cracking up laughing and they couldnt keep their hands off each other so they all went home for some tender loving care, no-one had to ask the girls twice.

Chapter 18:

A week Sheridan was busy planning the rest of her wedding when it was meant to be held within a few days . She was also getting near her due date and was already 8 months pregnant so she had to take things slow. She wanted to be married before the baby came and no matter what she had to do, that is what was going to happen. The next day Sheridan and Theresa were out at the church and it was no-one but them as they just wanted to see if everything was perfect for the next day . They were about to walk out when something happened. "ouch. oh god. ..Theresa help" Sheridan cried out in pain clutching her stomach. "Sheridan, hey whats wrong are you alright" Theresa said concerned. "No.. Theresa..i um think my water just broke , we need to get to the hospital NOW!...ooh no ive still got a month left i cant have the baby now.. its not ready, too soon"

Sheridan held her back still wincing as the pain got stronger and stronger. "Sheridan it sure doesnt look like the baby wants to wait.. lets go i'll drive you and i'll call Luis and the others on the way. " Theresa said as Sheridan nodded in agreement as she helped Sheridan toward the door and into her car. While driving Theresa rang Luis on his cell while Sheridan was screaming out in agony..she was in one of her moods with her hormones and all so she didn't want to talk to Luis blaming him for the pain she was experiencing . He said he would meet them there and would tell the others. As soon as Theresa parked her car at the hospital, Sheridan was taken in a wheelchair toward ER..Theresa Met Luis in the waiting room and filled him on what had happened . As Eve was her doctor, she had been paged and was in with Sheridan. A few minutes later Eve came and to talk to Luis . "Eve.. how is she?"Luis asked impatiently.
