~*The Choices We Live By*~
Don't own 'em
Ok, well I was thinking about this and I realized that if Antonio is 30 and Kay is 18, it's REALLY creep. So, Luis is the oldest brother instead, and Antonio's only 27, it's not MUCH, but it's less creepy then him being 12 years older. Oh, and Gwen is 23. So, with that said, onto the story.
Chapter 6
Paloma sat down at her table and looked around, Kay's purse was there, but Kay was missing. She looked around the restaurant and noted that neither Kay, nor her brother Antonio were present. Before she could check in the other rooms, someone tapped her on the shoulder.
"Hey sis." Luis smiled.
Hugging her brother, "It's great to see you Luis!"
"Good to see you too. Now, I want you to meet someone." Luis indicated to a pretty blonde who was talking to Ethan, not to far away.
"Is that Sheridan?" Paloma gestured to her, he nodded, "Well, I want to meet her."
Luis brought her over and, beaming, introduced her, "This is my wife, Sheridan Lopez-Fitzgerald."
"It's great to meet you." Paloma smiled and Sheridan pulled her into a hug.
"I feel like I already know you! Luis has told me so much about you!"
Paloma patted her on the back, uncomfortable, "I feel like I know you well too. Um, so what are you kids doing here?"
Sheridan pulled away and smiled, "Luis wanted to take me out to dinner tonight before our honeymoon." Sheridan's eyes shined with love and Luis' reflected the same care, love and devotion.
"Oh, that's sweet. I'm sorry again about missing your wedding. My flight was canceled and the airports closed. So, I couldn't make it."
"Oh, Paloma I already told you it was fine. I'm just glad you got to meet Sheridan before we left for Spain." Luis kissed his new wife's hand.
"Spain? That's going to be romantic. And I'm really glad to have met you Sheridan. You and Luis are just so sweet together."
Luis and Sheridan didn't seem to hear the comment, as they were too wrapped up in each other.
"Well, I'm going to go look for some people and then kill myself. Bye." Paloma walked away.
"Yeah, bye Paloma." Luis said in an offhanded sort of way.
Paloma walked around looking for Kay and Antonio, she stopped at the table that he and Beth were at and saw Beth sitting alone. "Hey Beth."
Beth looked up, *Another Damn Lopez-Fitzgerald! This is their fault! *
Paloma noted the crazed look on Beth's face, "Beth are you ok?"
Beth grabbed her knife and smiled, "Oh, I'm just fine." She stood up and when she turned around she spotted Luis and Sheridan locked in a lovers embrace, "This'll be the last time you two are so close."
"Beth what are you doing?" Paloma saw Beth grab the knife, "LUIS!" She yelled as Beth lunged.

Antonio ushered Kay into the house and closed the door, "Are you hungry?"
Kay shook her head; she hadn't spoken a word to him since they left the docks.
"Um, Luis said that he'd send some men out to the docks so those guys won't be bothering you anymore. Are you cold?" Antonio sat down on the couch as Kay stood staring.
She shook her head again and sat in an armchair on the opposite side of the room.
"Kay, I know you're upset, but I can't help you if you won't let me. Do you want to talk about it?" Antonio tried not to push too hard but he was worried.
Kay began sobbing again, Antonio crossed the room and she began sobbing into his coat.
"Shh, it's going to be ok. They can't hurt you anymore."
After a few minutes the tears subsided, "How'd you know where I was?"
Antonio was surprised at her question, but glad she was talking, "I, uh, I sort of overheard the conversation you and your mom had. I was worried about you so I decided to follow you and make sure you didn't do anything stupid."
Kay sniffed, "I wouldn't give that women the satisfaction. She'd love it if I just died and fell of the face of the earth so she wouldn't have to put up with me anymore. It's bad enough that she hates me, but she wants everyone else to hate me too. You know that she tells my father constantly about how evil I am? I can't catch a break from her."
"Don't listen to her Kay, she doesn't know you or what you're all about. If she did then she wouldn't be treating you that way."
Kay turned to him, "And I suppose you know me?"
Antonio laughed, "We're one in the same Kay. I came back home and the only reason my family accepted it was because I brought Sheridan back. I gave up a woman that I had fallen in love with so my brother wouldn't suffer. I know that my mother hates me sometimes, I hurt her so badly, but I did what I had to do. We're both misunderstood. Except in your case you get yelled at a whole lot more then I do."
Kay smiled wryly, "Well, I guess you have things all figured out, don't you?"
"I'd say so, yes." Antonio leaned back into the small chair he and Kay shared. Both realizing how close they really were.

Paloma screamed and the Seascape froze. Luis stood in front of Sheridan protectively.
"Beth, just put the knife down. This isn't like you." Luis tried to calm her down.
Beth held the knife up and looked around, "Don't come any closer or I'll kill someone!" She reached into her purse while glaring around and pulled out a gun.
Several people screamed, "Please, calm down!" Sam yelled.
Paloma was the closest one to Beth and she quietly took a stop backwards, Beth swung around and smiled at her insanely.
"You little ms. Lopez-Fitzgerald are not going anywhere!" Beth pointed the gun at her and then pulled Paloma into a headlock.
"Beth, let go of Paloma. This doesn't have to end badly, if you let Paloma go now then you'll get off easy." Paloma heard Luis pleading.
"Please Beth, you're not a bad person. I know you're upset, but killing me isn't going to help." Paloma said as gently as she could.
"Really? Because I think that killing you would make me feel a whole lot better. I mean, why not? You're oldest brother dumped me for a CRANE, then got back together with me after she 'died' for like the millionth time and when she came back from the dead he dumped me again. Then I'm finally getting over him and his brother asks me to dinner. I think maybe Luis still has feelings for me and I can get him jealous by dating Antonio. But then you had to come in here and DISTRACT him, and then he leaves me! HE- LEAVES-ME! And you know why?" Beth squeezed Paloma's neck harder.
Paloma gasped for air, "Beth, this isn't the right thing. I know you're better then this." Paloma faintly heard Chief Bennett say.
"HER!" Beth pointed the gun at Sheridan and tightened the grip she had on Paloma. The knife she'd picked up earlier was still in her grasp.
Luis stood in front of his new wife, "Beth, this isn't anyone's fault. Sometimes things happen."
"Luis, I love you! I can give a life SO much better then her. She'll hurt you again Luis and you'll end up with a broken heart." Beth said.
Paloma's face began turning red and she started feeling dizzy, "Beth," she gasped out.
"SHUT-UP!" Beth yelled.
"Beth, you're right." Luis said quietly.
"What?" Beth tightened her death grip once more.
"I said you were right." Out of the corner of his eye Luis saw police cars surrounding the Seascape.
"What was I right about my love?" Beth asked.
"Sheridan's only going to wind up hurting me. I see that now. So, why don't you out down the gun, and let Paloma go?" Luis said.
Beth looked at Luis like he was nuts, "You think that I'm going to let your bitchy little sister go and not kill your new wife because you realized that I was right? Why in the hell would I do that?"
"We can run away together. Right now. All you have to do is let them go and we can go outside and leave this place forever." Luis said smiling, "I love you Beth. I only want to be with you."
Beth loosened her grip on Paloma, "Really?"
Luis nodded, "So, let's go."
Beth let go of Paloma and threw her to the side, keeping her gun pointed at Sheridan she walked over to Luis and threw her arms around him, "I knew you loved me. That crane whore was nothing but a distraction."
As they walked towards the exit a Beth turned around and let out and shot Sheridan.

Previews. Things heat up between Kay and Antonio. Will Beth get what she wanted? Sheridan dead and Luis forever? Paloma gets stuck.
Bum-bum-bum! How's that for a cliffhanger? I know the chapters a little short and that I haven't updated in awhile, sorry. I'll try and get the next part up soon. But, please lemme know what you think. BTW, sorry if you're a hardcore Beth fan. Personally I can't stand her so I tend to be a little harsh to her in my fics.
Ok, this doesn't have to do with the next chapter or anything but it has to do with the story in general. Who would you rather I hook Ivy up with, Sam, David or Julian? Now, if I hook Ivy up with Julian, who should Grace be with, Sam or David? I'd appreciate your input. Tank-ye!
