Sheridan Crane, a 18 year old senior in high school sighed as she walked down the halls of Harmony High. She was a love strucked girl. Who was the object of her affection? Luis-Lopez-Fitzgerald... his name brought chills to Sheridan.. she fell in love with him in her Junior year in high school. She had just came from Paris... but her father Julian decided to let her finish school in Harmony with her older 21 old brother Ethan. Sheridan was known as a snobby rich girl. She often held an icy exterior, to the "popular" crowd, because she knew she could never fit in... all of that would change once Mr. Lopez-Fitzgerald changes her world.
"Hi Julie" Sheridan greeted her best friend
"Hey Sher how�s it going still pining over Mr. lucious hot stuff? Julie asked giggling with laughter
"Very funny.. speak... of.... the devil..... oh god he�s gorgeous" Sheridan said as her voice gradually lowered
"Too bad he�s taken by that half breeded Beth" said Julie
"Jules! How can you talk about her that way, you don't even know her!" exclaimed Sheridan
"Look at the way she dresses..."
*Beth Wallace and her boyfriend, Luis-Lopez Fitzgerald pass by Sheridan and Julie* Beth is in a tight low cut pink tank top, a tight pair of black Capri�s and high heels so tall for that short skank, she would often "trip" so Luis could carry her to class*
"Ok.. so she dresses like a whore.... what does Luis see in her?" asked Sheridan
"I don't know, but trust me Sher, one day common sense will kick Luis in the butt and he'll notice you" said Jules
Whatever you say..." sighed Sheridan I'm late for English honors I gotta run.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*
"Oh Luis! Who needs class, lets go to Lover's Point and makeout , you know you can't resist me" said a whining Beth lingering over Luis
"Beth, don't you get enough of me? I've seen Lover's Point so many times, I can remember it like the back of my hand, if you ever want me to marry you, and support you, I kinda need to pass Calculus..." said Luis
"Fine whatever... I'll go hang out with Hank or something bye sweetie" ::pulls Luis and kisses him goodbye"
"Damn she is one hell of a woman" muttered Luis as he ran down the hall...... bumping into Sheridan as they both fell.
"Watch where your going buster!" yelled Sheridan
"My name's not buster, it's Luis why don't you look where your going missy" said a very pissed Luis
"omg.. it's Luis" whispered Sheridan
"What did you say?" asked Luis
"Nothing... oww... you kinda knocked me down when you ran into me..." said Sheridan
"Here let me help you up" said Luis as he took Sheridan's hand, as she got up he looked into her beautiful blue eyes. They stayed like that for a few seconds before the late bell rang
"I gotta go" they said at the same time
"Oh Luis...you touched my hand.... he touched my hand!" shrieked Sheridan unaware of Beth who watched everything
"That rich b*tch... she's after Luis... I gotta go something about that, no one is getting their claws into my man" muttered Beth as she ran out of the school doors, then tripped because she is such a clumsy slut
"Ouch! Maybe I should get shorter heels.... Nah!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As the months passed by, Sheridan and Luis saw a lot more of each other..... Beth and Luis eventually broke up, because all she wanted to do was make out 24/7. Beth still knew about Sheridan's little crush, but she wanted to save the best for last... she plotted to bring down Sheridan Crane if it was the last thing she did!
Sheridan and Luis became the best of friends, spending time at each other's houses, helping each other study, they were inseparable. Luis found himself falling for Ms. Crane, it was only a matter of time before they'd admit their true feelings for each other.......
*One day Sheridan was over at Luis' place, tutoring him in calculus, they were home alone, so studying eventually lead to....*
"Luis! Stop tickling me! I'm gonna get you back for that!!" a giggling Sheridan said trying to hold back from the laughter
"Oh yeah? well how can you if I do this?" said Luis as he pinned Sheridan down on the couch, but realizing the position they were in, an awkward silence overcame them.
"Luis I should get up, suppose your mother walked in and thought... you know"
Sheridan said as she gazed into Luis' hazel eyes *theres no way in hell I want to get up all I Wanna do is throw my arms around him and kiss him* Sheridan said to herself
"Let her think what she wants, because there's something I've wanted to do since I've laid eyes on you Sheridan Crane..." Luis said in a sexy deep murmur
"Wwhat's ttthat?" Sheridan said as her voice began to shake
"This" Luis leaned in close and placed his lips on Sheridan. The kiss started off sweet but quickly turned passionate as Sheridan slipped her tongue as Luis followed. Luis worked his way down Sheridan's neck, placing hot wet kisses all over her as he began to unbutton her shirt
Sheridan pulled back
"Luis... we can't do this right here right now.... I mean Theresa or Miguel or your mother can walk in and get an eyeful... and it is my first time, is it yours? asked a shy Sheridan
"Your right, and yes it is, I saved it for someone I truly love, all the guys thought I did it with Beth, but the truth is, your the one Sheridan, your the woman of my dreams, your sweet, kind, beautiful, smart and perfect, I love you with all my heart and soul" said Luis with a big smile on his face for finally being true about his feelings
"Oh Luis... I love you too.... I need you so badly.. make love to me now" said Sheridan with tears of happiness in her eyes
"Are you sure? I don't want you to have any regrets..."
"Take me now Luis, no regrets" said Sheridan interrupting Luis
With that said, Luis picked up Sheridan, kissed her and carried her to his room, he laid her gently on his bed, went to close (and lock) the door, dimmed the lights and put soft music to set the mood.
"Wow you certainly go all out to impress a girl huh? said Sheridan
Luis smiled "Not just any girl, you Sheridan, I Want our first time to be perfect"
Luis climbed on top of Sheridan, and began to kiss her. Sheridan slipped her tongue, as did Luis, as their tongues met a slight moan came out of Sheridan. He began to trace her sweet lips, then slowly worked his way down to her neck.
*In between kisses*
"Do you know how much I've wanted to do this? To watch you walk down that hall and to keep myself from throwing myself at you?
*moaning* "Oh Luis... Luis.... I wanted to make my move so bad, but that bitch.. I mean Beth, I thought she'd attack me"
"Shh Shh Shh.. don't talk about her, this is about us and our lovemaking" Luis whispered. With that said, Luis finished unbuttoning her blouse,then removing her bra with Sheridan's help. Her fully developed breasts were now exposed to him.
�Your so beautiful" Luis cupped her breast and started to nibble her nipple as Sheridan moaned in pleasure. He placed soft kisses all over her stomach, working his way down, as he slid off Sheridan's skirt, along with it her panties.
Sheridan blushed, feeling a little embarrassed about this, but she knew this was right. She parted her legs for Luis, as he touched her center, softly, then hard, rubbing it to Sheridans content.
"Oh Luis!!!!!!! Just like that!!!!!!!" He took hold of her thighs as he licked her body, from bottom to top, not missing a spot, leaving her breathless.
"I believe it's my turn Luis"
Sheridan said as she switched positions, now she was on top. She took his mouth and lustfully kissed him hard, she was very turned on and very ready for him. She licked a path down his chest, going back to his nipple where she teased him and bit it hard, which caused Luis to moan. She reached his navel where her tongue slipped in and out
"Luis... you taste so good, I cant get enough of you" She said
"Oh god Sher just like that" he said as she teased him. She approached his jeans. She struggled with the zipper, and finally pulled his pants off, and boxers revealing his erected manhood. She began to stroke it softly as Luis pulled his head back and began to scream
"Ohhhh yes Sheridan oh god just like that baby"
She surprised him, as she took things to another level, something came into her as she took his manhood, lowered her head, as she started to blow softly on her hard and very erected manhood.
"OH MY GOD SHER!!!!!!!!!!!!!! OH BABY!!!!!!!!" Luis screamed, surprised at what Sher was doing to him
"I knew you'd like that" she said giggling.
Sheridan looked deep into Luis eyes, they knew it was time
"Luis.... I need you, I need you so bad"
With that said, he kissed her again, she parted her legs wide, for Luis to go inside her. As he entered her Sheridan began to scream
"Ohhhhh my god LUIS!!!!!!!!!" Sheridan screamed as he entered her, she closed her eyes, as her body began to feel tense and hard she gripped her fingernails into his back, which caused Luis to scream too
"Oh god Sheridan, I love you so much, Ohhhh yes" Luis screamed in heavy pants in between. As his hard manhood entered her soft center, with a final thrust, they went over the top
"OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LUIS!!!!!!!!!!" "OH YES SHERIDAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
they screamed and moaned for their lives
It was over, as he removed himself, Sheridan cuddled up to Luis and placed a soft kiss on his lips. "I love you so much Luis-Lopez-Fitzgerald, promise you'll love me forever?"
"Forever Sheridan, I promise" as Luis stroked her hair gently. They fell asleep in each other's arms, with the reassurance they finally found true love with one another.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*The next morning*
Sheridan woke up, with a smile on her face, things couldn't be better, she had found true love, and made passionate love to a gorgeous man who loved her back, she reached for him as he was still sleeping. She watched him sleep as he awoke.
"Good morning beautiful"
"Oh yes it is a good morning Luis" She said as she placed a soft kiss on his lips
Luis smiled at her
"Last night was amazing, you are so beautiful, I love you Sher"
"I love you too Luis, but I'm famished, I'm so glad its a weekend, that I can spend with you"
"You said it Sher, there's no place I'd rather be than with you" With that said, he scooped Sheridan in his arms as they prepared to take a shower together and eat breakfast.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~~*~*~*~*~*~*
The Bennett resident (for the sake of the story, let pretend The Lopez-Fitzgerald home is next door to the Bennett's :))
It was another Saturday morning for Hank Bennett.. a typical Bennett gathering at the table for breakfast, then off to shoot some hoops with his best friend Luis, then off to some party, to have fun till the daylight comes... Only today was different...
*Knock Knock Knock*
Sam: That would be for me! It must be my girl uh... Allison
Sam made up some girls name, he was hoping it was Ivy, his unknown lover
*Sam opens the door*
"What's cooking good looking? Is Hank home?" Beth Wallace stood at the door, in a turquoise halter top dress, her messy hair wrapped up in some kind of monstrosity of a hair style, obviously flirting with Hank's older, hunkier brother.
"Listen sweetheart... I don't go for skanks... I mean girls like you.. aren't you with Luis?" Sam said with a tone of sarcasm in his voice
"Not for long after that blonde bimbo took him away from me" She muttered
"What did you-� Sam was interrupted
"Beth.. what are you doing here.. Sam I'll take it from here..." Hank said, while taking Beth to the front porch.
"Hi baby... what brings you here? I'm so glad to see you" Hank said, wrapping his arms around her
"Get off me! They might see us and think something!"
"Who might see us?"
"Sheridan and Luis.. can you believe it... last night they f*cked... how could he do this to me? I mean ME of all people.. Miss Popularity.. Most Likely To-
"End up a prostitute on 42nd street" Sam said, interrupting, opening the door to leave to go visit Ivy.
"Excuse me, we're having a private conversation here!"
"Wow.. I didn't know you could have a conversation.. without biting people's heads off" With that, Sam bolted to his car, while Beth took her finger, kissed it and touched her ass.
"Your brother..."
"Whatever.. Forget him, and what the hell do you mean Sheridan and Luis had sex? I mean yeah sure they've gotten pretty chummy.. but you guys broke up, so its not cheating, plus baby you got me...." said Hank, leaning in to kiss her
"That's not the point... the point is... he slept with her! He didn't sleep with me!"
"But I slept with you"
"Yeah and wow... that was incredible"
"Exactly, so stop worrying so much about Luis.. when you have me ok?
"Let's get out of here and find somewhere to have a little fun" Beth said, dragging Hank behind her.
*After Sheridan and Luis made love, things were wonderful. They were the supercouple at Harmony High.. they were Prom King and Queen at Prom.. However.. a little before Graduation.. thanks to Beth and her schemes, their whole world will collide...*
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
*Beth's house*
Beth and her friends, Kathryn, Amber and Elizabeth and having a sleepover at her house.
"C'mon Beth, drink up! What's the matter you knocked up or something? said Kathryn, offering her some beer.
"How did you know? I mean.. No of course not.. I mean.. Just drop it okay? Beth said, as she felt herself choke up in tears
"Whats wrong Beth? You can't be pregnant... Luis f*cked little miss blonde princess not you right? So who else have you been messing with that we don't know of?" said Elizabeth
"None of your f*cking business Liz.. look I'm not sure yet.. I have the test waiting in the bathroom... so if I'm not pregnant, then I'll take it to the grave..." said Beth, as she got up and went to the bathroom as the girls followed.
She picked up the pregnancy test, looked at it, blinked and looked twice. Her face turned pale as she looked to the girls, and mumbled 2 words that changed her life...
"I'm Pregnant"
"OH MY GOD BETH!" The girls shrieked, shocked that it happened, Beth pulled her shirt up, to reveal her stomach, 4 months showing.
"I knew you looked a little fat Beth.. I mean I didn't mean to say that, I mean.. " Amber said nervously
"SHUT YOUR TRAP WHORE!" She slapped Amber across the face
Silence overcame the girls
"Look I'm sorry Amber.. I didn't mean to... you girls are my only friends right now.. after Luis dumped me... things got all messed up... but he'll get whets coming..." Beth's frown turned into a devilish grin
"Oh girl.. I know that grin.. whats up your sleeve?" Kathryn replied
"They won't know what hit them... I mean its perfect.. I'll play them like the two fools they are.... then he'll be mine... Listen up girls....
"Wait a minute.... before you tell us your diabolical plan.. Whose the Daddy?" Elizabeth asked
"Hank Bennett" Beth said in a whisper
"HANKIE?" the girls said simultaneously
"Yeah... we had a fling.... I mean... whatever..... what happened happened all right? Wanna hear my plan or what?"
"We're listening" The girls said
"Well... Since Lopez-Fitzgerald dumped me for spoiled little rich brat... I think its time they feel a little heartbreak.. I mean yeah I messed with Hank, but its all good... Luis was mines to begin with.." Beth continued to talk and talk as she spilled all about her devious plan.....
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The night before graduation, Beth Wallace threw the party of the century! Everyone was invited... Sheridan and Luis were reluctant to attend, but went to have fun, and continue the party at his place... tomorrow was the big day.. not only graduation,... but the big proposal. Luis knew she was the one, they were going to be together forever... not if Beth can help it.....
*1AM*
"Luis..... My feet are killing me and if I have one more Martimmy I mean Martini, wow those things are making me talk nonsense! I'm gonna get buck wild baby!" Sheridan was obviously drunk
"C'mon Sher Bear, I'll take you home.. I'm sober... Unless I'm high on Cokes *laughs* I think you've had too many drinks. we can get "buck wild" tomorrow night.. I have something special for you" Luis said, reaching in his pocket and rubbing the ring
Luis dropped Sheridan home, and kissed her goodnight. Little did she know, Beth was right behind her.. she followed her on her brother's scooter (note- Beth was drunk, couldn't drive and grabbed the first thing she saw... a scooter!)
"Hey Sheridan wait up!" Beth called
"What do you want? Sheridan replied
"We need to talk"
"About what? How you want your Luis back? Back off b*tch he�s mine... speaking of which.. why don't you get your fat self to weight watchers and keep off the alcohol because I think your getting a bit fat don't you think?" Sheridan snapped back
"Listen here blondie, I'm not fat I'm pregnant alright, and you'll never guess who the father is sweetie? LUIS! Your precious LUIS!
"Your wrong... I was his first.. he told me he loved me.. forever" she held the tears back, not wanting Beth to see her
"I'm not lying.. Why would I sleep with someone else? I loved Luis.. he told me I would be the only one... but he dumped me like a piece of trash for you... he sounds so good when he says he loves you and all that.. but next thing you know your pregnant and all alone.. lifes a b*tch aint it? It's too bad he use you too.. you'll probably end up pregnant like me.. poor little rich girl got knocked up by a townie.. oh how sad it is�
"GET THE HELL AWAY FROM ME... YOU AND LUIS... I NEVER WANNA SEE YOUR SLUT FACE AGAIN.. IT'S PEOPLE LIKE YOU AND LUIS.... YOU MAY BE PREGNANT... BUT YOUR STILL A LOW LIFE WHORE.. AND LUIS... THAT BASTARD.... HOW COULD HE DO THIS TO ME? I DON�T FEEL SORRY FOR YOU BECAUSE YOU DESERVED IT... GO TO HELL" Sheridan slapped Beth with that last sentence..
"No one slaps Beth Wallace and gets away with it"
The two rambled in a girl fight, Sheridan decked Beth in the face, while Beth pulled on her hair. Beth clawed her fake nails into Sheridan's skin.. that triggered it.. Sheridan punched her right in the stomach.... forgetting she was pregnant
"OH MY GOD!!!!!!!" A triggering pain overcame Beth, she collapsed to the ground, grabbing hold to her stomach
"Beth.. oh my god.. I didn't mean to.. Are you Ok?" Sheridan asked, frightened by what she did
"Go away... get the hell away from me Crane...." Beth said, speaking between her tears... while screaming by the excruciating pain
Sheridan ran into her cottage, ran to her bed crying..
"Oh my God.. What is wrong with me? I shouldn�t have punched Beth like that.. the she deserved it, but the baby.. Luis' baby... How could he do this to me? Why Luis? I thought you loved me.. but you've only played me for a fool... that's it... I've had enough of Harmony and its players.. Graduation Day will be the last day Sheridan Crane stays in Harmony"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Graduation Day... The moment of truth... The ceremony ended... High School was over... Luis was estatic... today would be the beginning of the rest of his life with Sheridan.. with the ring in hand.. he looked for his girlfriend
"Sheridan! Where Have you been? I called you this morning but your father said you were with Julie... and with all the graduation commotion, I haven�t had a chance to kiss my beautiful-" Luis tried to lean in to kiss her, Sheridan stared blankly at him, until he tried to kiss her, she pulled away
"GET AWAY FROM ME I NEVER WANNA SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN! She slapped Luis across the face and ran into the crowd, tears falling down her cheeks down to her neck, as she brushed them away, trying to forget Luis Lopez Fitzgerald..
Luis followed her, but lost her through the crowd of teens..
She reached Lighthouse Park sat on a bench and cried... everything was a wreck.. she lost the man she loved... and he didn't have the guts to admit it. This was like a soap opera.. life was so perfect and it quickly shattered.. One minute your life can be so simple, but the next minute it can be so confusing and false promises only lead to heartache... she remembered her favorite poem from English Honors Class....
Tears drop like falling rain
Holding a pillow to ease the pain
Praying to good-looking up in the sky
Looking at my reflection asking why?
Holding my love deep in my heart
Wondering why we fell apart
Now who will be the one to dry my tears?
Who will be the one to chase away my fears?
Your love was like a guiding light
That kept me safe all day, all night
.Without you here in my life
I'm scared, I'm lost, Nothing is right
Still dreaming of you all day and all night
Wanting to hold you oh so tight
Remembering your gentle touch
Now missing you so much
Why this love even start?
Not knowing it would tear me apart
When will never-ending this feeling end?
When will my broken heart mend?
I wish I knew
So I can stop feeling blue
But what can I do?
You don't love me
(note- this is a poem by the author, rights reserved to Teresa me! Do not use this

"That poem is perfect fitting to my miserable scenario" Sheridan said to herself. She looked up to the sky.. when she felt a sharp pain in her stomach
"Owww...... it hurts... Oh my God..." She writhed in pain as she got up, to get herself home, brushing off the stomach pains
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I am Good!" Beth Wallace stood watching Luis ask everyone where his precious Sheridan was.
"I am brilliant... Telling Sheridan I was pregnant with Luis� kid... sure it was Hank's brat , but she took Luis away from me... she's better off without him anyway.. that rich debutante and Class Valedictorian blue collar boy? In Your Dreams Sweetheart... He's Mines.. All Mines" Beth laughed a wicked laugh, gloating in happiness as she pranced around the streets of Harmony
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Have you seen Sheridan? Luis asked "Nope sorry man... I know your gonna pop the big one, good luck!" Jake Hall the class jock replied.
"Where the hell could you be Sheridan? And Why did you slap me like that?" Luis took of frantic to find his hopefully bride to be.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
2 Days Later
*Ring Ring*
"Hello.. Mr. Crane, May I speak with Sheridan?" asked Luis, it had been 2 days since Graduation and Sheridan was MIA
"Excuse me Mr. Lopez- Fitzgerald but if you want to speak with Sheridan.. you'll have to use your life savings and haul your derriere to Paris, you see she has relocated, and if it is your pleasure, do us all a favor and never call again!" *Click*
"Paris? Why the hell would she move to Paris? I need to get some air"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Luis walked to the Wharf, where he found none other than Beth, smiling as if she were waiting for him
"What are you smiling about?" Luis asked
"Oh Nothing... Just the fact that your single... I'm single.. You know we can always- Luis cuts her off
"Wait a minute, what do you mean I'm single?"
"Word gets around" "Not that fast missy, First of all... your pregnant... Whose the father? Is he going to marry you?
"Well......"
"Spit it out Beth"
*Two Harmony High Seniors passed by*
"I cant believe Luis could be such a jerk... he got his ex Beth pregnant... poor Sheridan" said Amber
"Tell me about it, It's unbelievable" replied Elizabeth
"WHAT THE HELL? I DIDNT SLEEP WITH YOU BETH? I'VE ONLY BEEN WITH SHERIDAN BECAUSE I LOVE HER.... Wait a minute... this is all a set up... you told Sheridan I was the father... that's why she slapped me and moved to Paris"
"Paris huh? Wow this plan was great after all" said Beth
"What's wrong with you? How can you stoop so low? Who is the father? Damnit tell me the truth for once in your life bitch" Luis yelled
"Hank.. Hank is the father" Beth said in a shaky whisper
"Wait a minute.. how far along are you? You look 6 or 7 months... I've been with Sheridan for 4 months... you had to have slept with someone before that... DID YOU SLEEP WITH HANK WHILE WE WERE TOGETHER?" Luis was enraged, his temper got the best of him
"Y-Y-Yes... Luis damnit yes I slept with him! while we were together" Beth yelled back, with a tone if nervousness in her voice
"I can't believe you.. You were always hanging around Hank huh? You know what.. stay away from me... I never wanna see you again Beth... Your a low-life, scheming, manipulative WHORE!" Luis ran off leaving Beth in tears.
"It's over.. I've lost him"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
4 Years Later
"Mommy! Hurry Hurry! We're gonna miss the plane!" Lindsay Crane squealed grabbing her Barbie suitcase and her mommy's hand out the door
"Hold on Sweetie, Mommy needs to get the tickets!" Sheridan replied
Sheridan gave birth to Lindsay in Paris, where she stayed for 4 years. Of Course, Luis' child. Lindsay had Sheridan's blue eyes, Luis' tanned complexion, and light brown and blonde highlighted soft curly hair which bounced on her shoulders as she ran to her Mommy.
"Mommy are we going to see Daddy?" Lindsay asked
"Maybe sweetheart.. but we're going to have so much fun darling! We're going to see Uncle Ethan and Aunt Theresa and your cousins Kayla and Brian, and Grandpa Julian and grandma Rebecca and all of your family!
"Yay!! C'mon Let's go!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Back In Harmony
"Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald speaking... Yes the papers will be faxed this afternoon... Ok.. Gotcha.. Bye"
Luis never went to college.. depression overcame him as he was deprived of his soulmate Sheridan... life had no meaning to him. He became a cop to support himself in his apt. He lived alone and never loved again.
"Sam I'm out to take my lunch break ok?" Luis yelled
"I've got you covered, take the whole day off buddy, I'm getting the new guy to fill in" Sam replied
"Alright"
Sam became chief of police, and married his college lover Ivy Crane, they have one child Amanda.
Luis went to the Book Cafe to grab a Frapachino and head home to visit Mama.
"Hi Luis� said Beth Wallace
Beth Wallace went on a wild road trip, depressed that she lost Luis.. she became a heavy drinker, and lost her baby, in a gruesome car crash in Miami, the baby would have died anyway, due to all the alcohol. She realized the true meaning to life after all the pain she endured. Slowly regaining her relationship with Luis, they ended up friends; however Luis is still unforgiving to what Beth did to split him and Sheridan apart..
�Hello Beth" Luis replied
"How's it going? I know dumb question.. but I just wanted to make conversation"
"Look its ok Beth, we agreed to make a fresh start... we've both had our deal of losses... I'll have a Frapachino and a blueberry muffin"
"I'm sorry Luis, for everything.. here you go, its on the house"
"Thanks"
"Anytime Luis"
Luis sat down on the couch, and just stared into space... recalling all the great times he had with Sheridan.. their first kiss... their first and only time making love.. he never touched nor looked at another woman. He fell hard for Ms. Crane. He still had the engagement ring he planned to give her that graduation day.
"Sheridan... 4 years and counting.. I will love you forever... I'd give up everything just to see you again"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Mommy I'm hungry! Can we get something to eat? Please? Pretty Please?" Lindsay asked her dear mommy.
Sheridan and Lindsay arrived in Harmony...
"Of course darling! But first we need to take our stuff to the mansion.. then we can head to this place.. I remember it.. your daddy took me there all the time "The Book Cafe" Sheridan said, thinking back on Luis and how deeply hurt she was; however she still loved him deep within the bottom of her broken heart.
"Sounds great! Let's leg a shake!" Lindsay giggled
"I think that's "Shake a Leg" Sheridan corrected her daughter
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Within 10 minutes, they arrive at the Crane Mansion. Julian and Rebecca were still together after all these years. Sheridan's brother Ethan, was married to Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald and they have two children, Kayla and Brian.
*Ding Dong*
Pilar gets the door
"Sheridan? Oh my god.. is it really you?" Pilar shrieked Pilar was the housekeeper of the house, a dear friend of Rebecca's (authors note! Unlike the show) who grew found of Sheridan, and of course father to Luis.. Pilar loved Sheridan like her own.
"Yes Pilar its me! I'm home!" Sheridan began to cry as she hugged Pilar
"Hi Grandma Pilar! I'm Lindsay" Lindsay introduced herself
"Aye Dios Mio! Oh Lindsay Hello!" She picked her up and gave her a warm filled hug
"Sheridan? Darling? I couldn�t help but hear all the screaming women, it's like Woodstock ::he laughs:: We're so glad to have our beloved daughter home" Julian said approaching and hugging Sheridan
"Hello father! It's wonderful to see you.. It's been so long..."
"Yes Yes.. Well Rebecca, your mother is upstairs taking a bath, Ethan and Theresa are in the patio talking ..Why hello there little lady!" Julian said to Sheridan, then turning to Lindsay
"Wonderful Father, Lindsay sweet heart, you go with grandpa Julian to see the family, while I talk to Pilar, ok?"
"K Mommy!"
Julian took Lindsay over his shoulders giving her a piggy ride as she giggled and waved bye to her mommy.
"Such a smart and beautiful little girl Sheridan.. Since she said Grandma Pilar, I shall assume Luis is the father? Pilar asked
"Yes Pilar.. that's one of the reasons I'm back home.. I still love him Pilar, and I cant deprive him of his daughter any longer... Maybe, just maybe we can settle something, I'm sure he married Beth, because of the baby and all" Sheridan said as her voice gradually decreased, tears welling up in her eyes
"Oh Sheridan, I know you are a smart woman, and you need to speak to Luis as soon as possible. I don't want to tell you what happened., this is between you and Luis."
"Ok then, where do you think I can find him?"
"Well he should be on his lunch break right now, he usually heads by the Book Cafe, why don't you go and see, you'll have plenty of time to reminiss with the family, you need to resolve things with my soon as soon as possible"
"Oh Pilar thank you so much! Please, watch Lindsay for me! She can be a hand full and then some! I'll be back!" Sheridan said, gloating with happiness as she rushed out the door
"Please God, Let Sheridan and my son Luis be happy with their daughter at last. They have been through so much, let them have happiness" Pilar prayed, hoping for the best
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"I'll see you later Beth" Luis said almost out the door
"Hold on a second Lopez-Fitzgerald! Not so fast. You coming to the Valentines Day Dance at the Youth Center? No I'm not making a move on you, but it'll be fun, for the kids.. C�mon Luis� Beth said
�I don�t know... it�s been so long since I�ve been to a dance... If you know what I mean�
�The past is done with, and your going! Enough said�
�Fine Fine, There�s no end with you is there Beth?�
�Haha Luis!�
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Sheridan decided to walk around the streets of Harmony, as she recalled all the memories. 10 minutes later, she hurried along to the Book Cafe.. she entered the door and was surprised by the first person she saw
�Sheridan? Is that really you?� Beth said in a shaky voice
�Beth... It�s um been a while� Sheridan replied back
�We need to talk� She took Sheridan�s hand and took her to a table, grabbing a blueberry muffin and coffee along the way.
�Thank you Beth.. That�s very kind of you.. So um.. how are you and Luis? How is the baby?� Sheridan took the muffin and coffee, took a bite and looked at her apprehensively.
�Sheridan.. your looking at this all wrong.. There is um something I need to tell you... I know you will hate me for life, as if you didn�t already, but-
Sheridan interrupted Beth
�What do you mean? This sounds serious.. your about to cry.. Beth spill the beans�
�Sheridan.. what I�m going to say will change your life forever.. Promise you won�t interrupt me?�
�I Promise�
�Ok... Sheridan its all been a lie... I was naive and stupid.. when I told you that I was pregnant with Luis� child.. that was a lie.. I had never slept with Luis, I was going to pass it off as his child, when it was really Hank�s... but you must wonder what happened to my baby... Well I lost the baby in a car crash in Miami.. the baby would have died anyway with all the alcohol I consumed after I realized how foolish I was to deny you of Luis and your happiness, when I ended up hurting everyone in the end... I don�t expect you to forgive me.. but Hear Me Out...
Sheridan stared blankly at Beth, as if her puppy died... the tears just rolled down her cheeks endlessly, as if she was in a trance.... She felt so betrayed and hurt by Beth, yet sad for all Beth had been. Sheridan was a forgiving person.. but this was too much for her
�This is outrageous.. I can�t take this all... I have a 4 year old daughter.. I need to think� Sheridan said in a raspy voice, choked up by hear tears. Her face turned pale, she started to shake.. she got up and ran away as Beth followed her out the door�
�SHERIDAN DON�T GO LUIS STILL LOVES YOU!� Beth cried out
�Wh-Wh-What?� Sheridan stuttered and turned around
�We need to talk about this, let�s go to Lighthouse Park�
The two women walked to Lighthouse Park in silence, they sat down on a bench as Sheridan flashed back to the last time she was in the park.
�Ok.. Here me out... Luis confronted me and found out.. he told me off and ever since then, thanks to your truly.. he lived a depressed life... Forget Harvard... he stayed in Harmony and became a cop to support himself. He�s never loved again Sheridan.. and I�m sure if you two talk, you will get back together... that is Do you still love him Sheridan? You said something about a child... is it his?� Beth asked
�Beth how could you stoop so low? You seem so different, you can�t change the past, why are you being so nice to me?�
�Look I can�t change what happened, and I can hardly take back the pain you two have endured, but I can try my best�
�You�ve suffered your amount of pain too Beth, but it�s been 4 years, and Lindsay, his daughter, How can I just bounce back into his life, I denied him of his child... He might love me, but once he finds out he has a daughter, Who knows If He�ll stand to look me in the eye...� Sheridan started to cry
�Don�t cry, You�ll make me cry, If Luis can maintain to love you for all this time, If you can love him too, you can rekindle that love, that passion, I can�t make it up, but I can tell you this... What would you say if you and Luis can meet tonight?
�Do you mean it? But.. how? Sheridan asked
�Get your best dress and head to the Youth Center, there�s a Valentines Day Dance tonight, I told Luis to go.. for the kids, to help out, but he�s gonna have a date instead!�
�It�s Valentines Day? Wow... I didn�t even remember... Oh My Goodness! I need to get home as soon as possible, I left Lindsay with her grandparents, and I wouldn�t want her to worry.. as for the dance..
�Yeah?� Beth said
�I wouldn�t miss it for the world�
�Thank you Sheridan!� Beth shrieked and hugged her, as she hugged back. The girls both cried
�I�m sorry for everything I did to you.. Can you ever forgive me?� Beth asked
�We�ll see.. Just Kidding, Look What happened, happened, that was 4 years ago, and we�ve both had our deal of pain! I need to get going if I want to look good for Luis! I�ve never been so happy in my life�
�Thank You so much Sher... I�ll see you at the dance, it starts at 8pm, See You then!�
�Goodbye Beth!�
;~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Sheridan went back to the mansion, to meet and greet the family, Theresa and Ethan, now 25 and 24 respectively, had 2 children, Brian who is 5 and Kayla who is 2. Lindsay played with the children, as Pilar decided to baby-sit as everyone got ready for the dance. Sam and Ivy, now 27 and 26, came over to bring little Amanda, who is also 4. Theresa and Sheridan became fast friends as they discussed her brother.
�Sheridan, I�m so sorry about all that you have been through, I know you were hurting, but Luis tried so much to get you back after he found out the truth, Fate will heal your wounds and you two will live happily ever after, like Ethan and I!�
�Theresa, you are so sweet, but your talking dream talk.. I had his child, and didn�t tell him about it...but I was so hurt and I thought he didn�t love me, Things are extremely out of proportion, but If you believe in fate, I will too�
� I know I Sound like a silly little girl, but Fate is real, �Love is nothing more than hate, wrapped in a disguise, if you only knew it was fate, you would be very wise�
�That�s such a beautiful saying Theresa, your right!�
�Don�t worry, once he see�s you in this dress, he�ll be gawking and falling in love all over again� Theresa hands Sheridan her dress
�After all, Prima facia, amor vincit omnia�
�What does that mean?� Theresa asked
�At first glance, love conquers all�
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
By 7:45 Theresa, Ethan and Sheridan took off for the Youth Center, Sheridan was extremely anxious and apprehensive towards this entire situation she was in. All she needed to do was keep her hopes up and he�ll understand, after all for 4 years, Beth let her believe Luis used her, but she deprived him of his daughter. Boy what a night this will be!
Harmony�s Valentines Day Dance was the event of the year! Everyone was there, David and Grace Hastings , and their children, Jessica with her boyfriend Reese, Kay with her boyfriend Miguel, and Charity who was single and looking for love, Jessica and Reese the youngest at 14, Kay , Miguel and Charity at 17. Eve and TC Russell, with their oldest daughter, Whitney at 25 and her fianc�e Chad Harris, and Simone, 17 with her best friend, Charity, also looking for love. The two girls were stuck to each other like glue, both looking for young fine men in Harmony. Everything was great. Everyone was dancing and having a good time, except Sheridan... Luis was no where to be found.
�He�s probably late, you know he always is Sheridan� Beth said to Sheridan
�You think? What if he decided not to come?�
;~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald was late as usual, walking his way in his good looking tux, as he felt tense and uneasy, recalling the last dance he attended... Prom with Sheridan
�Sheridan... I know your in Paris, but your missing in my heart, I know you�ve probably moved on, but no one could ever take your place. Maybe one day... my wish will come true and you�ll come back.. That�ll be the day� Luis said to himself, as he felt a chill, not knowing his wish would come true tonight.
Within minutes he arrived at the Youth Center, Sheridan was on the other side of the door, waiting like a lost soul, staring into space as she imagined Luis walking into the door, as their eyes met... only this time, she flinched and she wasn�t daydreaming
Luis walked into the door, as the room became silent, Chad Harris took notice as the former couple laid eyes on each other. It was as if they were stuck in a Passionate trance, Luis blinked, he couldn�t believe it was Sheridan, He�d know her beautiful face a mile away. Sheridan was in a beautiful strapless mahogany shimmery dress, which flowed gracefully to the curves of her body. Her dress was pure silk, just like her skin. Her blonde hair, wavy in a short hair cut, Luis gasped as he remembered Sheridan�s long straight hair. Her blue eyes sparkled, shadowed with shimmery eye shadow. If looks could kill, Luis would die on the spot. Luis wasn�t looking so bad himself, his hair was gelled and spiky looking, very sexy to Sheridan�s delight, His hazel eyes took her under a spell as she blinked and took in his gorgeous muscular body.. the years did him good... He was drop dead sexy, as Sheridan loved to call him. They gazed at each other, for only mere seconds, it felt like a lifetime, as memories flooded through their heads. The silence of the crowd came to an end as Luis approached Sheridan and took her hand.
�Sh-Sheridan? Is that really you?� Luis stuttered as tears formed in his eyes
�Yes Luis, It�s me� She grabbed his hand and gave it a little squeeze as she wiped her own tears.
By accident, the music system went back on blasting loud, spoiling the romantic moment and mood Sheridan and Luis were having.
�Do you want to talk in the locker room , so we can have some privacy?� Luis said loudly, over the noise of the music as everyone resumed dancing
�Of course, Let�s go.� She grabbed Luis� hand as they headed to the locker room.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
�Sheridan.. It�s been 4 years, Why didn�t you ever come back? I had an explanation, Why Couldn�t you trust me?� Luis asked
�Luis, I know it�s been a long time, and I know the whole story, I talked to Beth, and before you say anything, I know you didn�t sleep with her, but we were kids Luis, I wanted to trust you, but Beth was pregnant, and that was the only proof that lead me to believe that you were the father� Sheridan replied
�But you said yourself you thought Beth was a slut back then, I told you that I loved you, Instead you hauled back to Paris without giving me a chance to explain myself. Do you know how many lonely nights I spent... Wondering where you were, Living a dream, hoping one day Fate would bring us back together.. ::he laughed:: Theresa got me hooked on that fate crap. I love you Sheridan Crane, I always have and always will.. Fate did bring us together, or at least.. What brought you back to Harmony after 4 years?
�Oh Luis ::she sighed:: I should have gave you a chance, but I went with my first instinct, do you really love me? Because I love you too, but I doubt after I tell you why I came back, you will hate me forever� Sheridan said, with tears streaming down her cheeks, Luis wiped away her tears
�Sheridan you know I could never hate you, we�ve been through so much�
�Luis its not like that.. I mean, this is big..�
�Just say it�
�Luis.. when I went to Paris.. 9 months later, I gave birth.. to your child, Our child.. Lindsay. I know I should have called and informed you, but I thought you married Beth, and father insisted that I move on, but I never did, I raised Lindsay as a single child. She demanded me to know about her father, she�s stubborn just like you. Sheridan giggled, but stopped as she saw the look on Luis� face.
�We have a child? Sheridan... Sheridan A CHILD? MY OWN FLESH AND BLOOD?� He lowered his temper, he didn�t want to yell at Sheridan, but how can he just find out he had a 4 year old child?
�Luis please don�t be mad at me�
�Sheridan... I�m.. This is.. a child? 4 years old? I need time� With that said Luis stormed out of the room, tears in his eyes as he made his way outside. Sheridan started to cry
�I lost you once Luis and I won�t loose you again� The hot tears fell upon her cheeks as she stormed back to the party following him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Luis was outside, having a smoke, when Sheridan called out to him
� I didn�t know you smoked� Sheridan said
�I don�t, I mean, only when I�m stressed� he replied back
�Luis- What I did.. It was wrong- I know I shouldn�t have deprived you of your own daughter, but I was so hurt, so sure that you moved on and didn�t give a sh*t about me- Luis interrupted her
�What about the night we conceived Lindsay? I told you I loved you, and I promised you forever, but you couldn�t trust me�
�Luis, your my first and only love, and I was young and naive and I was so easily manipulated by Beth�s lies. You remember that fate crap?Well look where it�s brought us. I�m not sure if you still love me, but Luis from now until the day I die I will love you. Whenever I look at Lindsay I will forever be reminded of the moments we shared. The love we had. And the child we created.. I don�t want to loose you again, I don�t think I can take the pain anymore�
�I know you�ve had your amount of pain Sheridan. But what about me? The woman I loved.. the woman I was going to propose to and spend the rest of my life with slaps me and hauls off to Paris without another word said. My hopes and dreams ended when you were gone. For 4 years I wondered what happened to you, and suddenly out of the blue you come back into my life with a child, my child, our child. I don�t want to loose you either. What I�m trying to say is I still love you too.�
�Propose? You wanted to marry me?� Sheridan asked in a raspy whisper
�Yes, I was going to propose after graduation, I was planning to skip the last dance, whisk you away to the beach, under the stars, to have a picnic, then at midnight I�d propose and we�d make love till the morning comes. It would have been so perfect� Luis said, reaching into his pocket, rubbing that same engagement ring
�Luis- that is the most romantic thing I�ve ever heard�
�No, this is�
He took her into his arms and kissed her. He listened to that little voice inside of him, he knew he still loved her and he wanted to propose to her and share the life they should have had all those years ago.They rekindled their passion as she deepened the kiss with her tongue, exploring his mouth, as the passion overcame them. Forgetting about everything that had just happened, they broke off the kiss.
�Luis- I love you, and I always will�
�There�s something I need to tell you� He took her hands and sat her on the bench.
�Yes Luis?�
Luis got down on one knee.
�Sheridan, I love you with all my heart and soul, for 4 years I maintained that love in my heart, hoping one day you would come back to me, and you have. My prayers have been answered. We have a child and a responsibility, she deserves a family, and don�t get me wrong, I�m not doing this for her, I�m doing this for us, for our love. Sheridan Crane, make me the happiest man in the world, Will You Marry Me?�
Sheridan smiled, holding back the tears that gracefully fell down her cheeks.
�Yes Luis, Yes I will marry you!� She shrieked as Luis put the ring on her finger. She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him passionately.
�I love you Sheridan Crane�
�I love you Luis-Lopez-Fitzgerald. You know.. we should get back to that Valentines Day Party.. It�s been a long time since I�ve slowed danced with a handsome man like you�
�Handsome? How about gorgeous�
�How about drop dead gorgeous?�
�No that�s you baby�
Sheridan giggled, as she grabbed his hand and headed back into the party. Chad took notice as the happy couple were holding hands. He knew the perfect song for them
�Yo Listen Up everyone. From what I�ve seen, I�ve got to give a shout out to my man Luis and his girl Sheridan, ya�ll two are back together right?� Chad shouted out.
�We�re engaged!� Sheridan screamed
The entire dance floor applauded and cheered the couple.
�Before ya�ll two slow dance to some sappy love song, just playing, I know the perfect song for you.� Chad said while starting up the music.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
No one ever said that love was gonna be easy
Gotta take the ups and downs, the in-betweens
If you take this journey, gotta give yourself completely
Never let nobody ever step on a dream
You better stop
Listen to these words I say
You better stop
Don't you throw this good thing away no no
Put your trust in me
And I'll make you see
Chorus:
No the rain wont last forever
Find a way to make it better
Long as we can stand together
Love will find a way
Gonna make a new tomorrow
Say good-bye to tears and sorrow
Better listen when I say
Love will find a way
�Luis listen to the song.. it�s perfect� Sheridan said
�No, your perfect� The two started to dance to the song
Somebody tried to tell me love doesn't last forever
Said it only happens in your wildest dreams
After all is said and done were still here together
Never listen to the lies and jealousy
Beth smiled at the couple and looked down at embarrassment at the line �Never listen to the lies and jealousy �
You better stop
Don't you let them turn you around
You better stop
Hang onto this love that we�ve found
Nuthin ever say
Can stand in our way
No the rain wont last forever
Find a way to make it better
Long as we can stand together
Love will find a way
Gonna make a new tomorrow
Say good-bye to tears and sorrow
Better listen when I say
Love will find a way
I want you
I need you
You know that I believe you
You got it
You know it
So if it�s true just show it baby
No the rain wont last forever
Find a way to make it better
Long as we can stand together
Love will find a way
Gonna make a new tomorrow
Say good-bye to tears and sorrow
Better listen when I say
Love will find a way
(Christina Aguilera - Love Will Find A Way)
The song continued till the end as everyone cheered for Sheridan and Luis. Following this song; of course, came a sexy tango as the happy reunited couple danced the night away. Sheridan and Luis married months later in a beautiful ceremony. Luis, Lindsay and Sheridan became the family the couple dreamed of years ago. Luis became Chief of Police, Lindsay was happy with her family and Sheridan became pregnant with a baby boy, Nicholas. Sheridan and Luis were happy at last, together forever. As their song said, �Love Will Find A Way�
The End!
