Chapter 15 : gathering of friends and food

Ivy shows up carrying a plate of something.

Pilar: Mrs. Crane?

Ivy: Pilar how many times do I have to tell you? Call me Ivy. The cook at the mansion made these sticky buns for you and anyone else who would want them.

Ivy places the plate on the table. Sheridan, Luis and Chad all grab one. They all thank her. Luis and Sheridan continue to talk to Chad about the songs they want at the reception. Ivy continues to talk to Pilar.

Ivy: It's my pleasure. Cook remembers how Teresa loved them. All the staff sends their best wishes for Teresa and you. Oh don't worry about working at the mansion the staff understands what is going on. You are not needed until Teresa gets to come home.

Pilar: Thank you, Ivy. And thank cook for the sticky buns. You just missed your son.

Ivy: He went to be with Teresa didn't he?

Pilar: Yes. He wanted me to go first but I insisted that he'd be the first one to see her. I know it killed him not to see Teresa last night. You have a great son there.

Ivy: Don't I know it! But, how are you doing? Did you get any sleep last night?

Pilar: I got some but not much. The house doesn't feel the same without Teresa. Even though having Ethan there last night helped out a bit.

Ivy: Thank you Pilar for making Ethan go to your house last night. You are probably the only one who could have made him do that. Even though I know he wanted to stay here with Teresa.

Pilar: It's going to be a joy having him with me. I wasn't about to let my future son-in-law sleep in a hospital bed. When he could very easily sleep in Luis's bed. Plus I'll make sure that he has at least two good meals into him. None of this coffee and doughnuts for breakfast or a small meal that would hardly sustain a cat let alone a grown man for dinner. No I won't have it and I know Teresa won't have it either.

Ivy: Ethan is in the best of care yours and Teresa's.

Pilar: Ethan is easy to take care of. He always was. Did you know that I was one of reasons he chose Teresa over Gwen?

Ivy: I suspected it but I didn't actually know. When did he tell you this?

Pilar: This morning he said that he loved me like a second mom. That made me feels so good inside. I will be so proud to call him my son-in-law.

Ivy: Like I will be proud to call Teresa my daughter-in-law. You do realize that when Ethan and Teresa have children we are going to be grandmothers side-by-side.

Pilar: Yes we will be. Oh please god let my Teresa live, if not for me then for her friends.

Ivy: Amen.

Pilar: Amen.

Grace, Jessica, Kay and Reese enter the waiting area. Grace has brought food from the B&B. Miguel and Charity come in hand in hand they both head for Pilar and give her a hug. Pilar tells everyone that Ethan is with Teresa right now. Everyone continues to pray for the well being of Teresa. Gwen shows up after trying to get a hold of her mother to no a vale. No one notices she is there. Alistair left instructions for the staff that he was not to bother while he is on the phone talking to Julian and Rebecca about the plans to kill Sheridan and Luis.

A/n: I know its short but I will update Saturday
