Theresa arrived in Albany just in time for her business meeting. She was going to discuss a few budget cuts the state had to make. Theresa was concerned about cutting school funding to public schools. She wanted to make sure that nothing was taking away from the schools. She arrived at her office and was greeted by her secretary Mrs. Peterson.

"Good afternoon governor." Mrs. Peterson said.

"Good afternoon. Did any calls come from my mother or my brother?" She asked politely.

"Um, yes as a matter of fact your brother called three times looking for you." Mrs. Peterson said.

"Well, did he say anything?" Theresa inquired again.

"Yes he said that something was wrong with his wife." Mrs. Peterson responded again.

"His wife? You must have heard wrong. Luis is not married." Theresa explained to Mrs. Peterson.

"No he said his wife Sheridan. That's what he said I'm sure of it." Mrs. Peterson said in a sure voice.

"Oh, it wasn't Luis it was Antonio. Did he say what was wrong?" Theresa asked.

"No, he just said that something was wrong with Sheridan his wife." Mrs. Peterson explained again.

Theresa could not believe that this was happening to her. One bad thing after another seemed to be ocuring in her life. First it was her mother's riduclus marriage to that phony Jamal and now this. She was wondering what could possible be going on with Sheridan and Antonio. She wondered if Sheridan had finally buckled after having to live with Antonio for more than ten years. She could see that the pressure was getting to her the last time that she her.

It was Christmas eve and everyone was gathered around the fireplace. Ethan and William were out in the back yard making snow angles while the adults were inside talking to one another. Luis was standing in the corner tired and frusturated with the whole situation. Sheridan was forced to sit there and pretend. They wanted to tell him so badly, but of course mama would never let that happen.

Pilar always seemed to put Antonio's happieness before everyone else. Theresa never understood this. The fact was Antonio abandoned them years ago. It took him years before he would finally grace the family with his presents. After Antonio was miraculousy cured, they were finally going to tell him the truth. Pilar made sure to stop them every time by making up some sort of excuse just when the truth was going to come out. It made her mad that Luis was suffering when it should have been Antonio. If the truth had finally come out, then so be it. She was tired playing pretend for the big baby. Every thing was about not upsetting Antonio. No matter what Antonio's happiness came first to Pilar.

After thinking about the situation for too long, Theresa left her office for the business meeting on budget cuts. Theresa walked into the meeting and again took place at the front. Instead of twenty people, this time there were fifty people waiting to hear proposel. She sat down and was not even twenty minutes into her meeting before the phone rang in the conference room. She was utterly annoyed and picked up the phone and said a rude hello into it.

"Governor your brother is calling for you again. I told him that you were in the middle of a very important meeting but he refuses to hang up until he talks to you." Mrs. Peterson said in an afraid voice.

"Gentleman, if you'll just excuse me for a second I'll be right back." Theresa said in her most polite voice.

Theresa walked down the hall to her office. She was getting very angry by the second. What did he think that she was going to do for him. She was going to be his shoulder to cry on. This should have happened along time ago, but because of mama it didn't. She couldn't believe that he demanded to talk to her in the middle of her meeting. She couldn't wait to get on the phone and straigten him out. She walked through her office door and slammed it behind her.

"Antonio are you there?" Theresa asked.

"Sheridan left me for Luis and I think that Luis somehow tricked her." Antonio stated madly over the phone.

"Antonio, wake up and smell the roses will you. Before Sheridan met you in Bermuda she was with Luis. In fact before she went to Bermuda, Sheridan, Luis, Ethan, and I were going to be married. Some unfortunate events happened and Sheridan went missing for months. Then one day she showed up in Harmony with you. They were going to tell you the truth from the beginning but mama would let them. She was babying you Antonio like she always does. Now Sheridan and Luis have lost ten years together and I have a meeting to go to. I'll call you later Antonio." Theresa said before hanging up the phone.

Theresa walked through her office door and back to the conference room. Man this was going to be a very long day she thought.
