“Sheridan!!” Luis exclaimed as she led him through the backyard of their
brand new house. “Where are you taking me?”
“Luis! How am I supposed to surprise you if you keep bugging me?! Don’t
worry! We’re almost there!” Sheridan said.
“Well can I at least take this blindfold off? What if you run me into a tree
or something? We both know you don’t exactly have the best sense of
direction…YEOW!! What was that for?” Luis pouted as he rubbed his arm.
“For teasing me!” Sheridan replied. “No you can’t take the blindfold off,
and I’m not going to run you into a tree! Your body’s too sexy to hurt!” she
added as she let her hand drift to his butt.
“Hey now!” Luis laughed. “None of that…yet! You need to hurry up and
surprise me, so I can give you your gift.”
“Okay, let’s go,” Sheridan said as she took his hand and continued leading
him to her surprise. When they finally came to a stop, she wrapped her arms
around his waist and pulled him to her. “We’re here.”
Luis tightened his hold on Sheridan and quickly undid the blindfold. “It’s a
tree,” he commented as his eyes fell on the incredibly large oak tree.
“Well duh it’s a tree, Einstein!” Sheridan joked. “Your surprise is up
there!” she said as she pointed up.
Luis looked up and was astonished. There in the branches was a beautiful
wooden tree house. “Sheridan!!” he shouted. “It looks like a miniature
version of our home!” He smiled. The tree house had windows and curtains. It
was relatively large for tree houses and was even painted like their new
home.
“Well come on! There’s more!” Sheridan said as she started climbing the
latter up to the house. Luis gave her bottom a little push and then began
climbing. Sheridan led them all the way up and pushed open the little door.
She climbed inside and moved aside to let Luis in.
“Oh my goodness!” Luis yelled as he took a glance around. He sat next to
Sheridan on the floor near the little table and closed the door. “I see you
didn’t waste any time decorating!”
The tree house had two miniature tables
with chairs, a miniature dresser, a mirror, and even a twin size mattress
that acted as a bed. Rose petals were scattered everywhere, candles were lit
around the room, and a bucket of ice containing two glasses and a bottle of
sparkling grapefruit juice sat on the table.
“Do you like it?” Sheridan asked.
“Like it? Sheridan it’s beautiful!! I love it!!” Luis proclaimed. “Thank
you,” he added as he pulled her into a hug and gave her a kiss. “But I’m
curious about one thing.”
“What’s that?” Sheridan inquired.
“Well sweetie, this place is amazing. But we just bought our own new
house….”
“I thought you might be wondering about it.” Sheridan interrupted. “So
here’s the other half of your surprise.” She continued as she handed him an
envelope neatly wrapped in red and white paper with hearts. “Happy
Valentine’s Day!”
Luis gave her an enticing smile as he took the envelope from her. He
carefully ripped off the wrapping paper and tore open the seal. Sheridan
watched his expression as he read the information inside. He looked up at
her with pure joy and amazement in his eyes.
“Sheridan…is this true?” he asked.
“Yes Luis, it’s very true. I’m pregnant!” Sheridan exclaimed.
“OH MY GOSH SHERIDAN!!!’ Luis squealed. The envelope and papers were quickly
forgotten as he wrapped Sheridan in his arms for a tight hug. “I can’t
believe our love created something so sweet and so wonderful. I love you!
God I love you sooo much!” he added with tears in his eyes.
“I love you too, Luis. It’s unbelievable. And it’s wonderful. It’s always
been my dream to raise a family with a man who loves me with his whole heart
and soul. And that man is you.
I’m so grateful that you’re in my life Luis.
And this child is a symbol of our love.” Sheridan replied as the tears
rolled down her cheeks.
Luis gently wiped the tears off her cheeks. He pulled her in for another hug
and their joyous laughter filled the room. “I’m still in shock Sheridan!
When did this happen? How far along are you? Do you know what it is yet?
What should we name him? Wait until mama hears about this!" He rambled on.
“Whoa Luis! Slow down!” Sheridan interrupted. “I’m still in awe too. I just
found out this morning.
And the tests showed that this happened about 6
weeks ago. I don’t know what we should name it because I don’t know what it
is yet!” She laughed. “And yes Pilar will be ecstatic to hear she’s going to
be seeing her first grandchild this year.”
“I know I’m rambling, but I’m just so curious! I want to hear about
everything you’re going through. I’m going to be here for every step of it
Sheridan. All the midnight cravings, the kicking, rubbing your stomach,
letting you nearly break my hand during contractions, and of course the
birth! I want to see you bring our beautiful child in to this world.” Luis
beamed.
“You want to see me enduring pain as I try to squeeze something the size of
a watermelon out of something a size of a lemon?” Sheridan playfully asked.
Luis’ face turned from a smile to one of seriousness. “Um, okay I don’t want
exact details, but yes I’m going to be there!” he answered.
“Luis you’re so sweet. But when I’m in labor, I’m only going to be screaming
one thing.”
“‘I love you?’” Luis asked.
“No. I’m going to be yelling ‘GIVE ME THE DAMN EPIDURAL!!!’” Sheridan
laughed. Luis looked at her and burst into fits of laughter as well. He
pulled her close to him and wrapped her in another hug. “Thank you for doing
this.”
“You’re welcome. You know, I always wanted a tree house when I was a little
girl. But of course it didn’t matter what I wanted. Alistair and Julian
never would’ve approved of me playing in a tree house with ‘local’ children.
That’s why I had this one built for our child.
I want him or her to grow up
in a completely different world, to feel loved, and to not miss out on
anything. This tree house will be a place for our child to come and play
with their friends.”
“You are the most wonderful woman in the world Sheridan.” Luis replied. “I
know that our child will be loved. He or she will not miss out on a thing, I
promise you that.” He added as he kissed her. Sheridan wrapped her arms
around him and deepened the kiss. She let her tongue dart out and slowly
moved it over his lips.
Luis groaned and allowed her tongue to invade his
mouth. His hands moved to her lower back as his tongue collided with hers.
They were both getting hotter by the minute. Sheridan felt Luis’ hands start
to move under her shirt and she suddenly remembered his surprise.
She broke the kiss and intended to remind Luis about it, but he quickly
turned his attention to her neck. “Luis..” she protested as he began
planting wet kisses all over her neck. “What about your surprise?”
“Huh?” Luis asked as his head popped up. “Oh right! My surprise for you!” he
exclaimed.
“Yes your surprise for me! What is it?” Sheridan asked.
“Well, it’s something that will make both of us happy for the rest of our
lives. It’s something that I’ve thought about for a long time, and I’m
completely convinced it’s the best decision I’ve ever made. And it’s
something that you’ll hopefully want as much as I do.”
“Don’t keep me in suspense any longer Luis! What is it?”
“Since we’re already on the floor, this will be kind of difficult,” Luis
said as he got on his knees.
“Luis quit stalling already!” Sheridan chimed. “I’m very anxious to see what
it is!”
“Okay, okay!” he retorted. He took Sheridan’s hands in his own and stared
deeply into her eyes. “Sheridan Crane, you are the most important thing in
the world to me. You’re beautiful, smart, funny, kind, sexy, loving, caring,
and you’ve made me the happiest man in the world by loving me as much as I
love you. I honestly don’t know what my life would be like without you in
it. You complete me, all of me. I want us to experience everything in life
together. Will you share everything with me Sheridan? Will you give me your
heart, mind, body, and soul? Will you marry me?”
Tears rolled down Sheridan’s face as she sat in the middle of the tree
house. The man of her dreams was on bended knee, pouring his heart out to
her and holding a beautiful diamond ring. She looked into his dark eyes,
also filled with tears, and answered “Oh Luis. I never thought I could love
anyone as much as I love you. You complete me as well. You’re truly my
soulmate, my lover, and my companion. You’re the man of my dreams. Yes, I
will share everything with you. I will marry you.”
Luis wrapped his arms around Sheridan and held her for dear life. They clung
to each other sitting on the floor of the tree house, their tears mingling
with the others, smiles plastered on both of their faces. Luis reached up
and gently wiped her tears away with his thumb. She did the same as his
mouth replaced his finger. Slowly, he planted butterfly kisses over every
inch of her face. Sheridan held onto his shoulders as his lips finally
settled over her own. They kissed slowly, sweetly, and intensely.
Luis wove his hands into her hair as she grasped his shoulders. Sheridan let
her tongue dart out to caress his moving lips. He moaned and allowed her to
enter. She immediately pushed against his tongue and let her hands roam down
to his hips. Luis let his tongue follow hers back out and was lost at the
first taste of her mouth. Everything got hotter and passionate.
Sheridan gasped as Luis grabbed her bottom and slightly lifted her. He
pulled her to him and sat her down in his lap. Their bodies melded together
as they continued kissing.
Luis left her mouth and began planting slow,
open-mouthed kisses along her neck. Sheridan loved the feeling of his mouth
against her and couldn’t help but move her hips suggestively. “God I want
you Sheridan..I want you NOW!” Luis murmured hotly against her satin skin.
“Then make love to me Luis, I can’t wait any longer either.” Sheridan
replied. Luis reached up and passionately kissed her again before placing
his hands behind him. He gave her a seductive look and began crawling
backwards towards the bed. Sheridan returned the look, got on her hands and
knees, and followed him back.
Once Luis hit the mattress, he lifted himself
on top and sat down. Sheridan reached down and untied both his shoes before
slipping them and his socks off. She kissed him as her hands found the
bottom of his shirt. Abruptly, she pulled it off and began kissing the newly
exposed area.
Luis moaned as she tweaked his nipple with her lips and then smoothed it
over with her tongue. He felt like every inch of him was ready to explode.
She did things to him that no other woman had ever done before. Before he
had more time to think about it, he felt Sheridan’s mouth above his pants.
She cleverly unhooked the button and pulled the zipper down. Luis looked
down and saw her staring at him with a devilish grin plastered on her face.
Slowly, she eased his pants down his legs and discarded them.
“Oh god Sheridan,” Luis moaned as her hand crept into his boxers and found
him. He was already rock hard and her smooth, long strokes weren’t helping.
He reached for her hips and pulled her onto the mattress with him, lying her
down on her back. His tongue found hers yet again as his hands worked to get
her shirt off. Luis grinned in appreciation when he saw she wasn’t wearing
anything underneath it. He quickly occupied himself with tasting her sweet
skin.
“Oh Luis!” Sheridan yelled as he took one perked nipple into his mouth. She
arched her back as his tongue teased her. Luis let his hands move down to
her pants as his mouth moved to her other awaiting nipple. He let them move
underneath her waistband before swiftly pulling them, along with her
panties, down her long legs. He paused for a moment to sit up and throw them
to the floor.
Sheridan thought she would die from seeing the look on Luis’ face as he
admired her body. She had never felt so beautiful and proud. Desire swept
through her entire body and settled between her legs. Luis bent down and
began kissing her rib cage. He then moved to her stomach and planted
butterfly kisses around her belly button before letting his tongue invade
the small hole. Sheridan let out a small giggle and gripped his hair. She
arched her hips in anticipation when he started moving lower.
“Oh yes!” she screamed as she felt Luis’ warm breath hit her center. A
thousand sensations ran through her already heated body as his tongue delved
inside her. Luis felt her writhe beneath him as he pleasured her. He grabbed
her hips and held him to her as he continued his sweet torture. “Luis!!”
Sheridan moaned again and he could tell by her voice that she was close to
going over the proverbial cliff.
Sheridan knew she couldn’t last much longer. She tightened her grip on Luis,
sat herself up, and pulled him towards her. The wrapped their arms around
each other’s bodies as they met for a hot kiss. Sheridan could feel Luis
pressed against her and knew she had to have him now. Luis sensed her
feeling and pulled her up and onto his lap. She wrapped her long legs around
his waist as he spread his legs further apart. She sat on the bed in front
of him as they stared into each other’s eyes.
“I love you, my beautiful fiancée,” Luis spoke.
“I love you too, my gorgeous soon to be husband,” Sheridan replied. Her hand
traveled down his chest and she wrapped it around his manhood before guiding
him to her. Luis moaned and slowly entered her, savoring the feeling of
their entire beings joined together. His hands moved to her back and he
pulled her even closer to him. Their mouths met for hot, passionate kisses
as their bodies began rocking in unison.
“More Luis, please,” Sheridan begged. Luis moved his hands to her bottom and
gripped her tightly. “Yes” she yelled as she felt him deeper inside her. Her
legs tightened around his waist and she felt their pace immediately quicken.
“Sheridan..” Luis groaned as their lovemaking began to intensify to
something it had never been before. He began planting wet kisses down her
neck. Instead of throwing her head back like she normally did, Sheridan fell
forward and also began planting wet kisses on Luis’ shoulders. Luis moaned
from her tongue and the friction between their chests rubbing together.
Beads of perspiration began forming on both of their bodies. He knew it
wouldn’t be long before they reached their peak.
As they continued moving up and down on the mattress, Luis let his hands
travel from her rear end to her breasts. His hands fully covered them and he
quickly massaged both. “Oh god Luuiiiissssss!!” Sheridan screamed. Her legs
tightened even more around his body, and she arched her back as Luis hands
continued to fondle her breasts. One more deep thrust sent her completely
over the edge. “Sheridan!! Oh my god!!!” Luis yelled as he followed her. His
body was racked with pleasure and he released inside her warmth.
Sheridan fell forward and collapsed against him as their bodies shook with
light, indescribable aftershocks. They sat there in silence wrapped in each
other’s embrace, perspiration traveling down their bodies and heavy
breathing creating a sweet rhythm. Finally, after several minutes, Sheridan
raised her head from Luis’ shoulder and met his sparkling eyes. She gave him
a gentle kiss while unwrapping her legs from his body.
Luis took her hands in his and slowly withdrew from her body. He then gently
pushed her down on the bed and lay down next to her. He kissed her again as
he moved on his back and she cradled against him. He took one hand in his
and made slow circles on her back with the other one. Sheridan rested her
head on his chest and draped one leg over his. It had been nearly five
minutes since their wild lovemaking experience and she still hadn’t come
down from that special place.
To be honest, she wasn’t sure if she ever
would. “Luis that was…that was…something so incredible words can’t even
describe it.” She glowed.
“I know Sheridan. It was simply amazing, wonderful, beautiful, and so much
more. I can’t believe it. I can’t wait to go there again!” Luis grinned.
“Luis!” Sheridan laughed. “Can I at least get something to drink before we
try? I don’t want to dehydrate or anything.”
“No we can’t have that now can we?” Luis replied. He got up and went to the
table with the two glasses and bottle of grapefruit juice.
Sheridan flipped back the sheet and crawled under it as she watched Luis
pouring their drinks. He looked so gorgeous standing there naked showing off
his backside that she couldn’t refuse giving him a cat whistle. Luis turned
around and just laughed. He carried their drinks over to the bed and handed
her a glass before crawling in next to her.
“Here’s too us, and the incredible life we’re going to have together,” Luis
toasted.
“I’ll drink to that.” Sheridan replied before taking a sip. They leaned in
and shared a kiss before continuing their night of love.
Almost 9 months later…
“Come on Sheridan..PUSH!!!” Luis yelled.
“Shut the hell up Luis!!” Sheridan screamed back. She’d been in labor for
nearly 9 hours and the fact that she was too far dilated to have the
epidural did NOT help.
“I’m sorry! I’m just trying to help you!” Luis replied. He wished there was
something he could do. “I love you.”
“I know baby. I’m sorry!” she said as she took his hand and grabbed on for
dear life. “And I love you too, but you are NEVER touching me again!!” she
cried. Luis just laughed.
The doctor came in the room. “Looks like you’re ready to push Sheridan?” he
asked as he began gowning up for the delivery. The nurses had everything set
in place.
“Oh yes! I’ve been ready!!” Sheridan yelled.
“Great! You’re fully afaced and dilated, so I want you to give it all you’ve
got.”
Sheridan sat up in her hospital bed and grabbed onto Luis. “Ugh!!!” she
screamed as she pushed as hard as she could. Luis counted to 10 and she
collapsed on the bed out of breath. “Come on Sheridan,” Luis coaxed. She sat
back up and pushed again.
“You’re doing fantastic Sheridan! I can see the head!” The doctor said.
Luis looked down. “Oh my god,” he replied as his eyes grew to the size of
saucers.
“Luis you’re not going to faint on me are you?” Sheridan asked.
“No I don’t think I am!” Luis replied, still in shock.
“Come on Sheridan, just a couple of big pushes,” the doctor interrupted.
Sheridan pushed as hard as she could. “Ahhhhhhhh!!!” she screamed in pain.
“Get it out already!!”
“It’s coming Sheridan, just one more BIG push.” The doctor ordered.
Luis grabbed Sheridan and held her as she pushed one last time. A sweet baby
cry filled the room as Sheridan collapsed on the bed and let out a deep
breath.
The doctor cleaned the baby off and placed it on Sheridan’s stomach. “Here’s
your daughter,” he said.
Sheridan held the baby as tears of complete joy streamed down her face. She
looked up at Luis who also was shedding tears. “Our daughter,” she smiled.
“She’s so beautiful sweetheart, just like her mother.”
“I love you Luis.”
“I love you too, Sheridan.”
The baby fussed and looked at both of them. “I think she wants a name Luis.”
“I think you’re right.” Luis replied as he kissed Sheridan’s head and then
placed a kiss on their baby’s forehead. “Tell you what? How about we pick
one name and then put them together. Sound good?”
“Sounds fine to me,” Sheridan sighed. “I like Arianna.”
“Oh that’s nice! I like Kaitlyn.” Luis replied.
“Okay then, it’s settled. Welcome to the world Arianna Kaitlyn
Lopez-Fitzgerald.” Sheridan sighed in happiness.
Luis’ smile grew even wider as he watched his beautiful wife and daughter
together. He’d never known just how sweet life could be until now.
THE END
