Part One
*note-This FanFic takes place right after Sheridan asks Hank if he is trying to kill her.
"Well Hank? Are you the person the spirts were telling me about?" Sheridan demanded as she tried to get an answer out of Hank.
Hank was stunned that Sheridan could know that. "No Sheridan. I don't know what you're talking about. I would never hurt you." Yeah right, Hank thought to himself silently.
"Oh. I know Hank. I just must be scared is all." Despite what Sheridan said you could tell by the look in her eyes that she still did not believe what just happened. "I'd really like to get back so," She picked up the water bottles, "I better get the water. Do you know where the spring is?"
"Yeah," Hank said as he looked at the gun on the ground. It was way to out of reach. "It's over there." He pointed to a direction near the mine shaft where everyone one else was.
"Thanks." Sheridan said with caution. She was still suspicious of Hank and decided not to let her gaurd down. All she wanted to do at that moment was to get to the spring and get the water so that she could get back to Luis. Sheridan hoped silently that Luis's brother Miguel was alright and that Luis wasn't worried about her or Miguel.
"I'm going to head back and see if they need any help. I'll tell'em that you're on your way." Hank said.
"Okay." Sheridan replyed. They headed off in their seperat directions. Hank waited until Sheridan was out of sight to bend over and pick up the gun. He decided that he would wait until the time was perfect. Besides, they would most likly hear the gunshot and come to see what was wrong.
Sheridan came to the spring and got the water. She found her way back without getting turned around. She finally got to the mine shaft where everyone was and set the water down.
"Ah! Sheridan you're back! Luis was starting to wonder about you." Pilar said.
"Oh I'm fine. Any news on Miguel?" Sheridan asked.
"No, not yet but, Julian fell down a sinkhole!" Pilar answered.
"You're kidding?!" Sheridan said.
"No I am not!"
"That's wonder-" Sheridan realized what she was saying and stopped herself. "I mean how awful." Sheridan corrected giggle under her breathe.
Pilar smiled and said, "Luis is over there." She pointed. "You should tell him you're back."
"Yes, I'll do that." Sheridan said. Sheridan walked over to where Luis was. He was looking down the sinkhole that Julian fell in.
"Sheridan!" Luis exclaimed. "I was beginning to wonder about you. You look pale are you alright?" Luis didn't know what Sheridan could have saw to make her look so pale.
"Oh I'm okay. It's really a long story. How is Miguel?" Sheridan said.
"Nothing new except, I'm sure you've heard about your brother already. Are you sure your alright?" Luis asked again.
"Yeah, I'm fine now. Luis I hope that your brother is okay." Sheridan said ernestly.
"Me too. Well...I can't really say I hope that your brother is okay." Luis said as he giggled under his breathe.
Sheridan smiled and said, "Me neither! But he might as well not be my brother."
Luis leaned over and hugged Sheridan tightly, "I know." he said. "I know."
"I just wish that there was something I could do." Sheridan said to Luis.
Luis kissed her and said, "Just being here is enough. Julian didn't even wanna come in the first place. He just didn't want to get thrown in jail." Luis said smiling.
"Yeah, I supposed you're right." Sheridan agreed. So there was really nothing she could do. She decided that for now she would comfort Luis. "And I'm sure that Miguel will be fine. You are his big brother." Sheridan said sweetly.
"I know. I just wish that we could find him and this would all be over." Luis said wishfully.
"Me too." Sheridan agreed.
Luis smiled and kissed her again. "But it's worth the wait." He said.
Sheridan smiled as she thought on how lucky she felt at that very moment. Lucky.
Everyone finally got out okay. With help of Chad with Whitney of course.
"Well now that I know that Miguel is alright I think we best be going. I am dead tired and it's late. What do you think Sheridan?" Luis asked Sheridan after talking to Miguel.
Sheridan yawned loudly, "Yes! I totally agree. I am dead tired."
They got in the car and started driving. Luis saw that Sheridan was about to fall asleep right there. He could also tell how uncomfortable she was without a pillow or something. "Here Sheridan," Luis said comfortably, "lay your head on my shoulder."
"Are you sure?" Sheridan yawned.
Luis smiled and said, "I'm sure." As Sheridan laid her head on his shoulder he felt complete. Totally.
Sheridan fell asleep a few mintutes afterward.
When Luis pulled up into the drive way and stopped the car he looked down at Sheridan. It was then when he wondered who could ever want her dead. He brushed some hair out of her eyes and put it behide her ear. He really didn't want to wake her. She looked so peaceful. So he decided not to. He carfully carried her out of the car and into the cottage and took off her jacket. He then laid her in bed and tucked her in. She started to wake up but instead he shut her eyes and kissed her goodnight.

In the morning Luis got up just a little earlier to cook Sheridan a nice breakfast in bed. When Sheridan woke up he came into her room and said, "Good morning." Sheridan looked pleasently surprised.
"Why Luis! Breakfast in bed! How cute!" Sheridan exclaimed.
Luis sat down on the bed and set the tray of pancakes down in front of them. "My favorite. Pancakes!"
"I haven't had pancakes for awhile!" Sheridan said.
"I know. That's why I made them." Sheridan and Luis kissed each other good morning before they started on their breakfast.
Sheridan took her first bite and said, "Oh Luis! These are the best pancakes I've ever had!"
"Why thank you Sheridan. You know...I could teach you how to cook sometime. After all, we are cooped up in the cottage anyway."
"I don't know. I don't think that I could ever cook like you." Sheridan said as she drank her orange juice.
"Nonsense. In fact, I'll prove it. Your first lesson in cooking will be today at noon." Luis said smiling.
"You're not kidding are you? Okay then. Cheers!"Sheridan said as they tapped their orange juice glasses to one another.
"To our new beginning." Luis toasted.
"To our new beginning." Sheridan repeated. And for a mintute, just one mintute, they were silent. All they could hear was the beating of each others hearts pounding in their ears.
