Chapter 1 : engagement party begins
Over at Lopez-Fitzgerald house we see that the engagement barbecue is in full swing. They are lights everywhere and the smell of good barbecue can be smelled for five blocks in either direction. There is a large table with all types of drinks on it from soda to juice and champagne to wine and every type of food imaginable.
Everyone pitched in for the food. All the happy couples are there including Sam and Grace Bennett, Sam has taken over the cooking duties in honor of the happy couple. Eve and TC are there along with Simone and Whitney. Chad is on the side of the backyard playing the music for the party. Hank is talking to Grace.
Gwen is sitting at one of the picnic tables (she was invited by Sheridan), wishing that she could blow Teresa out of the water tonight instead of four weeks from now. Pilar is talking to Ivy about the up coming double wedding and how everything is falling into place for their children. Ivy is excited about the way the relationship between Ethan and Sam has come to a friendly ground. Ethan is sitting at a table with Teresa sitting on his lap.
Every now and then he nuzzles her neck and she lets out a soft giggle. Luis and Sheridan are making the rounds to their guests. There is dancing laughing and everyone is having a great time. Pilar steps away from Ivy, and taps her glass.
Pilar: Excuse me please. I would like to have everyone's attention.
Everyone stops what he or she is doing and all eyes shift to where Pilar is standing.
Pilar: I would like everyone to have a glass in hand so I can make this toast.
Everyone gets a glass.
Pilar: It is every parent's wish that their children find someone that is special enough to share their life with. Well I got my wish, tonight we are celebrating Luis and Sheridan's engagement and I couldn't be happier. In fact I know I am double blessed because in exactly four weeks from now I will be welcoming not only Sheridan as an official daughter but I will be adding Ethan as my son. So please raise your glasses and toast to Sheridan and Luis and Ethan and Teresa happiness.
Pilar: to the couple's happiness
Guest: to the couple's happiness
Everyone raises his/her glasses to the couples. Sheridan wipes away a tear from her eye. She then heads over to Pilar and gives her a hug. Ethan goes over and hugs Pilar too. Luis and Teresa are not that far away.
Sheridan: You don't know how much that meant to me.
Pilar: Well what I said is the truth. I already think of you and Ethan as my children the double wedding will just make it official.
Sam: Hey I got a great idea. How about a family picture to mark this occasion with the soon to be in-laws?
TC: That's a great idea I just happened to have my digital camera here.
Teresa: Let me get my computer and then we can download it. Come on Ethan you can help me.
Ethan: You bet I will.
Chad: Hey if you two aren't out in five minutes I'll be coming in after you.
Everyone breaks out laughing. Teresa and Ethan head to her room and get the computer.
Gwen: Oh Pilar you don't know how wrong you are. In exactly four weeks everyone will know what a lying back stabbing bitch your sweet Teresita is. And Ethan will be mine once again.
Ethan and Teresa head outside to join the others.
Chad: Hey you two made with 10 seconds to spare.
Ethan: What can I say when I'm around this beautiful woman I can't keep my hands off of her.
Hank: everyone can clearly see that.
Everyone laughs.
TC: Ok all the Lopez-Fitzgerald's and the soon to be, gather around Pilar so we can get this family picture taken.
Pilar sits on a chair. Luis is standing off to the right of his mother Sheridan is sitting in front of him. Miguel is on the other side with Charity in front of him and Ethan stands beside Luis with Teresa sitting in front of him.
TC: Now that is what I call a perfect family.
TC takes the picture while Gwen makes a face when her cell-phone rings.
Gwen: Hello !
