*Next day*

" Hello Sheridan" Ethan said trying to sound somewhat cheerful.

"Hi Ethan, can I tell you something?" Sheridan asked

"Of Corse" Ethan replied happy that Sheridan was finally opening up to him.

"I'm Pregnant" Sheridan replied nervously

"Did....did you just say you were pregnant?" Ethan asked in a state of shock.

"I did...but please keep it to yourself, the people in here.... they...they'll make me have an abortion" She was getting upset but she had to keep calm...if they kept giving her sedatives it would be dangerous for her baby.

"I wont tell anyone Sheridan...but what about Luis, I mean you got to tell him right, its is his baby isn't it?"

"No I'm not telling Luis and of course it's his baby, but I don't want to cause him anymore pain" Sheridan told Ethan trying to keep her emotions in check.

"But Sheridan..."Ethan tried to reason with her

"Don't you but Sheridan me, Ethan I need to get out of here.... sooner or later they are going to find out I am pregnant and then what can we do? Can they really make me kill my baby?" Sheridan interrupted

"If they have reason to believe you are insane and that you could harm the baby then they are able to make you have an abortion" (Hey I'm not a lawyer but I think this is right)

Tears ran down her cheek. Why did life have to so hard for her? For a woman of only 25 years she had been through so much, her mother had died when she was only 4 years old...from that night on she had had nightmares so her 'loving' father sent her to a mental hospital in Paris, then to boarding schools, they never visited her on 'family days'. She had many failed relationships; all those guys used her for her money.

She was constantly reprimanded by her father and brother for 'ruining' the crane name. They never once complimented her, she never even got a hug or an 'I love you'. Then there was John-Luc, she caught him in bed with another woman... she was his fiancée for crying out loud! So she ran away from the memories and came back to Harmony...she was driving way over the speed limit when she realised a cop was trying to stop her...she tried to out run him and CRASH! She literally came crashing into his life! The 'hated' each other for the longest time.... Until the dates...and he kissed her on the Warf, however the Luis impostor almost ruined their love.

Finally another trip to Paris, Luis getting signed as her body guard and being buried alive had got them where they were a few months ago...but that tape...that tape changed her life...why had eve lied to them...she allowed Sheridan to fall head over heals for the man...life just wasn't fair for Sheridan Crane!

"Hey don't cry Sheridan everything will be alright" Ethan tried to sooth his emotional aunt.

"HOW CAN YOU SAY EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT!"? Sheridan yelled a nurse popped her head in and asked, "Is everything alright...need me to get her a sedative Mr Crane?"

"NO! No thankyou she'll fine" Ethan replied firmly

"I'm sorry Mr Crane but you are going to have to leave her now...as you know she's been sick and the doctor has come to see her" The nurse said

Sheridan shot a worried look to Ethan who replied, "I want Dr Eve Russel to examine her"

"I don't know if that's possible" She replied

"Then make it possible or you wont have a job!" He said angrily

" Yes sir" She said running out

"Thankyou Ethan"

"I better go...take care" He said leaving his aunt...he had to speed up the search, Eve Russel would only be able to keep the secret so long... and Sheridan would start showing soon.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"So Sheridan they tell me you've been sick, lets check you out" Eve said trying to treat Sheridan as she would any person...she knew Sheridan was doubting her sanity and she needed to hold on...Luis was so close to finding out the truth.

"I'm not sick...can you keep my secret?" Sheridan asked hopefully

"Not sick...I guess" Eve replied

"I think I'm pregnant" Sheridan replied "And I don't want them to know because they'll make me have an abortion!"

"I'll check you out to make sure" Eve said examining Sheridan carefully "You are pregnant! I don't know how long we can hide this" "I better go an talk to Sam see if we can hurry the investigation up"

"Can you please tell Luis I don't want to see him...every time I do...I get upset and the give me sedatives, its bad for my baby" Sheridan said glumly

" Sure" Eve said setting off to find him

Luis was in the gazebo his father built...remembering the times they spent there...he was interrupted from his dreams by Eve Russel...

"Luis she told me she didn't want to see you" Eve said her heart breaking

"I know...she told me to..." Luis said flatly "THIS IS SO UNFAIR!" a sudden burst of rage caused him to punch the concrete that showed the gazebo was his father's handiwork...the concrete crumbled and there he found...a gun!
