Chapter 6 : news?
Teresa is in surgery Dr. Russell is working on saving her life. There is a group of sad faces all of them looking worried and praying for their best friend, sister, and daughter, Teresa. Pilar is sitting on the couch she's holding a picture Teresa as a baby. Ivy is on one side of her wishing she could take away her friend's pain. Ethan is sitting on the other side of Pilar holding Teresa's computer, wishing he had been the one who had been shot. Sheridan walks over to Pilar with Luis.
Sheridan: Pilar I'm so sorry. This is entirely my fault.
Pilar: Sheridan, I don't understand why do you feel it's your fault?
Sheridan: Because, if Luis and I had agreed to having the party at the house instead at your place Teresa wouldn't be in surgery right now fighting for her life.
Pilar: There is no way in knowing what would have happened if you had had the party at the mansion. Didn't we insist that we have the engagement barbecue?
Sheridan: Yes you did.
Pilar: We couldn't have seen this coming. Besides something else could have happened and it might have been a lot worst than this. I have faith that my Teresa will pull through this and she will be just as strong as she ever was.
Sheridan starts to cry.
Sheridan: I'm sorry Pilar I can't help the feeling that I'm responsible for all this. If I hadn't agreed to marry Luis.
Pilar: Now you stop this right now Sheridan Crane. You are not responsible for Teresa being shot. As for agreeing to marrying my son I couldn't be prouder or love you more than I already do. I have watched you and Ethan grow up to be fine up standing people and I am so proud to soon have you as my daughter-in-law and Ethan as my son-in-law. You will never disappoint me. As for Teresa I know what she would say. She'd say hey its no big deal I would do anything just to get Luis married. If she had to take a bullet for you again she wouldn't even think about it. You know how stubborn she is and when she loves someone she doesn't do it half hearted. So please Sheridan don't blame yourself for what has happened to Teresa. She will make it. You and Luis will share your wedding day with Ethan and Teresa. I have no doubt about it.
Ethan: If anyone is responsible for doing this is the coward who put Teresa's life in danger. Not you Sheridan. No one here blames you. Ok?
Sheridan: I can't help it. I have this terrible feeling that my family is behind this nightmare.
Ethan: If Julian and Alistair are behind this we will find out and they will be punished. Sam assured me that they are going to do everything in their power to find the creep who shot Teresa. Ok Sheridan.
Ivy: Sheridan, once Sam has his mind on something there is nothing that can deter him from it. If Julian and Alistair are behind this THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY!
Sheridan: I know I'm being silly. It's just that I know what Teresa means to all of you. I just wished it had been me shot instead of Teresa!
Pilar: You know what Teresa would probably be saying the exact same thing too if you were the one that got shot. Sheridan: You're right Pilar. Forgive me for being this way.
Pilar goes over and gives Sheridan a hug.
Pilar: I only forgive when you have done something wrong. You are worried about Teresa and in my eyes you've done nothing wrong. There is no forgiveness needed.
Sheridan: Ethan, how did we get so lucky in getting a great mother-in-law.
Ethan: Fate.
Sheridan (laughs): Yeah fate.
Sheridan, Luis and Ethan all give Pilar a hug. Gwen shows up and is sickened by the scene she has just witness. She heads for Ethan when Dr. Russell comes out of the operating room. She is very tired. She has blood on the front of her. Everyone gives Eve his/her attention. She looks straight at Pilar.
