Chapter Four: Heartache in the Night
"Luis, remember, Sheridan loves me now."
Sheridan opened her eyes as Luis dropped his arms from around her. She looked up into his eyes as he took a step back. She could see the confusion, pain and anger in those brown eyes. Sheridan wanted to say something, but didn't know what. She knew Luis was once the love of her life. But, Sheridan had thought he was dead and had finally given up any hope she might return to him someday. She had fallen in love with Antonio, who turned out to be Luis's brother.
"What do you mean by that, Antonio?" Luis challenged his brother. Sheridan could sense the tension between her two loves. Things didn't look good.
Pilar stepped in between her two sons, slightly shaking her head. "Antonio, you don't realize just how much Luis had once loved Sheridan. She was the light of his life. They were planning on getting married, but their wedding didn't happen. But, they did go on to Bermuda, as they had planned for their honeymoon. And everything went wrong. Luis thought Sheridan had died-we all thought that. Please, son, just take some time to think of the pains your brother went through. Please be understanding."
Antonio sighed, "But mama, I love this girl more than anything in the whole world. And she loves me. I know she does. It doesn't matter if she's Diana or Sheridan, she will still love me. What we have together is special and sacred. What we have isn't the same as what she and Luis had."
"Never in a million years is that true!" Luis growled, "What Sheridan and I had was magical. We were soul mates, I'm sure of that! Sheridan will see just how strong our love was, once she gets all her memories back. Sheridan, don't you remember how it was?"
"Sheridan, don't forget the love we have together," Antonio said with a small smile, "Our love is and always will be everlasting."
Sheridan couldn't take it anymore. She hated not remembering her old life. She hated the feeling of needing to choose between two men she loved. She didn't want to be in the middle. "I just want to rest," She said finally, "I can't deal with all this right now. I just want to lie down. Maybe once I get all my memories back, I will be able to deal with this, but not right now."
Pilar nodded, "Yes, Sheridan, you can stay in your old room. I'll show you where it is."
Sheridan shook her head with a soft smile, "No, I think I know where it is. More and more memories are returning to me as I stay in this house. By morning, I may once again fully be Sheridan Crane."

Kay was glad to be out of the hospital. She hated the smell of the cleaning chemicals and the overwhelming feeling of dread hospital brought. And alone in her room, she would be better able to free her mind and come up with a plan to make Miguel forget about Charity.
All of her past plans had failed miserably, but Kay was determined to try again. Only, this time Kay would be sure not to involve any dark forces. She didn't want to be the one blamed for bringing evil to Harmony. And last time, her plan had backfired and the Zombie Charity refused to follow her orders and instead creating a lot of trouble. Kay would just have to use her skills as an actress to win Miguel over.
Kay lay on her bed, the same one she and Miguel had made love on only hours before. She would think and plan until she fell asleep. And in the morning, it would be a new day. And Kay would put her plans into action. Soon Miguel would be hers, and hers only.

"Gwen, what's wrong?"
"Oh, mother," Gwen cried out as she sunk on to the couch in her mother's room in the Crane mansion. Gwen had snuck back in the house after decided she had to visit her mother. Gwen knew her mother would be able to come up with a plan to get Ethan to love her only, and not Theresa. As the tears began to fall, Gwen confided in her mother what had happened downstairs.
"I should have known Theresa would get her claws in Ethan any way possible. I wouldn't be surprised if Theresa agreed to 'play dead', so to cause Ethan to grieve for her. She was always a conniving little tramp," Rebecca said bitterly.
"Mother, you heard Alistair, it was him who had planned for Theresa to go through a fake execution. Theresa wasn't behind that."
Rebecca pursed her lips in anger, "Gwen, you know as well as I do what that little floozy has done in the past to get her claws into Ethan. And from what you've said, I can see she has succeeded again. She has gotten Ethan to fall in love with her once again. You think he would realize that all Theresa will ever do is lie to him. But, Gwen, you can't let Theresa win Ethan. You have to fight. If only--"
"If only what, mother?"
"Well, if you were pregnant, then Ethan would have to be with you. Surely he'd choose you and his child, over lying Theresa and Julian's son. You could offer him his son-his blood son. He'd have to choose you over that horrible Theresa."
"But mother, I'm not--"
"Oh, Gwen, that doesn't matter. You'll see. Pretty soon Ethan will be all yours again."
