~Chapter 3~

I looked at Theresa as the pilot announced that we were about to land in Harmony. She looked very tense. I knew it was because of Ethan Crane. She had told me all about him. I already had a strong dislike for the guy and I had not even met him. I looked her. "Theresa, honey are you ok?"  "I'm fine, Matt. Look would you mind taking the kids to the hotel first and I'll meet you there after I go to the hospital?" I looked at her knowing the reason she was asking me this. She wanted to see Ethan first. "Of course I don't mind." I did but I did not want to be a jerk and tell her that I was going to the hospital with her.

As we got to the hotel room, I turned to Cici "would you mind watching you brothers and sisters while I am at the hospital."

She rolled her eyes. "You're leaving me in charge of my two brothers, my sister and my baby brother? And didn't mom tell you that she didn't want you to go?"

I smiled at her. "Yes, I want you to watch them. And when did you start caring about doing what you mother's says?"

She laughed. "So that means if you don't have to do what mom's says that I don't have to?"

"Very funny." I turned to my three sons and my youngest daughter.

"You three are going to be good for your sister aren't you? And help take care of your baby brother right?"

"Of course dad, but why does she have to be in charge?" Mark said annoyed.

"Well she is the oldest and will it actually kill you Mark to listen to her."

"Yes, I think it will."

I laughed. "Then I'll she you at your funeral. Now go into the hotel room and do what your sister says. All of you!"

They went into the room and I headed off to the hospital.

Mary walked into her bedroom and saw her husband asleep in their bed. She went over to him and started to sing knowing it would wake him up. When he finally did, she had already sung the song three times. When he saw her he pulled her down on to the bed and kissed her. She pushed him back. "I thought you said you wanted to go see Pilar in the hospital?" He moaned. "We can go there later." I laughed. "No, we can't and I want to go before Julie and Jamie get up. Therefore, we do not have to take them with us. Plus it was your idea, Ethan." "You're right it was. I'll go get dressed and tell my mother we're leaving Julie and Jamie here ok."  As I saw him walk off I started to think about how we had meet.

My family had decided to send me to live with my grandparents and I was not about to live there. As soon as I got to the airport and said good bye to everyone, I decided to run for it. I had all my money and got on a bus to where ever I could. I never expected to get to Harmony. However, that is as far as I could get on my money. Ethan was the first person I met there. He was very nice to me. The first time I met him there was just something about him, we just clicked. He let me stay at his aunt's until I found a place. He visited me everyday. I could tell that there was at one time or another some else. It took him a long time to get over it but when he did, when he finally loved me fully I never had felt more loved in my life.

When Aaron walked into his living room, he saw his mother lying down on the floor and staring at his old hiding spot.

"Mom? You ok?" She looked up at her son.

"Of course I am." Sheridan got up and looked at her son.

 "Are you going to tell me what's wrong, mom?" She laughed.

"Nothing's wrong Aaron, why would you think that, something was?"

"Well for the first, Pilar has all most gotten killed and I know she's like a mother to you. In addition, you were just lying on the floor looking at my old hiding spot. What did wish I were there to talk to? Because I am here now. In addition, you can tell me anything. Even if it's about Luis." She flinched. "Mom, I know you're nervous about seeing him. In addition, it does not bother me. I want you to be involved with someone else. Dad's been dead for a long time and I think you need someone other than me to spend Friday night with."

Sheridan looked at her son and smiled. She was so grateful for having him in her life. They had become so close ever since Eric died. "That you Aaron and I know I can talk to you. In addition, why would you think there was even a chance for me and Luis any way? You've never met the guy?"

He smiled. "But I feel like I know him. You always talk about him even in your sleep.  I know you love the guy. So why do not you go the hospital and see Pilar and him. And I'm going to go the Book Café maybe I'll even find someone."

"Maybe you will. However, please try not being out too late. You know I worry." He went over and hugged his mother. "Yes, I know you do. Give Pilar my best. And good luck, I love you." "Same to you." They both walked out the house, Sheridan to the hospital and Aaron to the Book Café.

When Luis landed in Harmony, he could not help but feel nervous. He knew he was going to see Sheridan and that worried him. What was he going to say to her? Was she still going to be mad at him? Was he going to be able to stand even being in the same room as she was? Would she be married? Would she still love him? He was snapped out his thoughts when Nina ran up to him with her little brother tagging along. "Dad, can Nana, Nikki and I go to the Book Café? We heard it's the cool hang out here." Luis smiled. "That's fine just as long as you take Andy along." She rolled her eyes. "Does he have to came with us. He is not going to have any fun at all and you know that. Can't he go with Aunt Piper, Uncle Leo, Aunt Phoebe, and Uncle Dan to the hotel?" Prue walked up. "That's fine with me if it's fine with your Dad and you aunts and uncles." Luis looked at Prue not really wanting to say what he was going to have to say. "Actually Prue I was hoping you would go with them to the hotel and I would go the hospital by myself." Prue knew why he was doing this she could explain in one word, "Sheridan". She did not want to get into it in front of their daughter and son. "Sure, honey. That's fine." She smiled at him and kissed him good bye and her kids and head of with her sisters and brothers-in-law to the hotel. As soon as she got there, she put their stuff in the room and told Andy to stay with Piper and Leo while she goes to the hospital. He did and she headed off to the hospital. She was not ready to let her husband ignite and old flame.
