~Chapter 4~
When Aaron walked into the Book Café he sat down at a table and ordered a cup of coffee he was worried about his mother and how she was going to take seeing Luis again. He just wished that he believed that she would be all right. After his father died, she started to have dreams about Luis. He could tell that she loved him. He had heard about what had happen and it upset him. He still could not believe the guy had actually left. He was snapped out of thoughts when three young girls walked into the Café. He could not help but looked at the girl in the middle who had dark brown eyes and dark black hair. She was only a little bit shorter then he was and she was wearing blue jeans and a white button down shirt. He got up and headed over toward them.
Prue walked in to the hospital and up to the front desk. "I was wondering if you could tell me what room Pilar Lopiz-Fitgerald is in?" The nurse looked at her strange. "And you are?" "I'm her daughter-in-law." "Look ma her daughter-in-law is already here. And I don't know who you are but I don't appreciate you lying to me." Prue just looked at the lady in shock. She started to leave when she saw this light haired brunette walked up to the desk and ask for Pilar's room. "And you are?" "I'm Dr. Matthew Camden." "She is in room 320." "Thank you." Prue decided to follow him. "Excuse me. Doctor?" Matt turned around and looked at her. "Yes?" "It's my first time in Harmony. And I was just wondering if you were one of the doctors who is working on Mrs. Lopiz-Fitgerald?" Matt smiled. "You can call me Matt and it's my first time here too and no I'm not working on Mrs. Lopiz-Fitgerald. Was I really that believable?" She looked at him strangely. "I saw you go up there and they not let you in. Therefore, I decided that if I used my doctor title then she would actually tell me something. So are you really her daughter-in-law or where you lying too?" She laughed. "No, I wasn't I'm married to Luis. Whom are you married to? Paloma?" "No, I'm married to Theresa." Prue's eyes widened. "You're married to Theresa! Boy, will Luis be surprised." Matt locked at her shocked. "Why would he be so surprised? I mean of all people Theresa will be surprised. I mean Luis actually got over Sheridan Crane enough to love someone else." "Well Luis has been thinking that Theresa would be married to Ethan by now and as for Sheridan he still hasn't exactly gotten over her." Matt seemed to get mad. "Theresa would never marry that jerk, Ethan. She is smarter than that. In addition, I know how you feel Theresa never actually gotten over Ethan either. So where is Luis?" "He's probably in Pilar's room right now. And Theresa?" "She's at the same spot. We better get there before they end up killing each other." They both ran of towards their mother-in-law's room.
Theresa was looking at her mother lying there in the bed. She could see someone was with her but she did not want anyone to know she was here yet. Not until her did. Her mother looked so fragile. You could see every last wrinkle she had. Luis was right she had worked herself too hard. Theresa tried to remember a time when her mother was not working. It took all her might to remember it. However, she did. It was her parent's last anniversary that she remembered. My mother was all dressed up; my father had brought her a brand new dress. It was not the best but to her it was perfect. My father had gotten her roses and had surprised at work with them and then gotten Ivy to let her have the day off. When they had gotten home he had the house clean, we had cleaned. In addition, he had brought her a fake diamond necklace. She loved it and never took it off. She knew it was fake but she did not care. It had come from him and that was all that mattered. She was so proud of it that she told Paloma and I that you know you are in love when fake jewelry does not even matter just as long as it comes from him. They had gone out dancing that night and come home so late that Antonio finally made us go to bed instead off waiting up for them. She had never seen her mother so happy ever again. In addition, she may never see her mother alive again. She felt tears start to flow down her face. What if you never wake up, Mama? What will I do? I left with out ever telling you I love you. I never told you bye. You worked so hard for me and I could not even tell you bye. Well you would be glad to know I am finally a mother, a mother of five children. Yeah, five can you believe it. I cannot. However, you said it would happen. In addition, I have a daughter whose just like I was. Her name Cecelia. We call her Cici. Now I know why I drove you so crazy. In addition, I am married to a doctor. I know you cannot hear me but you have to know. You just have to know. You cannot die on me. You just cannot. They need you. My kids need to meet you, mama. I needed you. You just cannot leave me! Her tears were flowing now. Then someone handed her a Kleenex. She took it and turned to face the person who had given her the Kleenex. It lights brown hair haired lady she was smiling at her. "It's ok to cry. Everyone who had come here has. I included. I knew eventually something would happen to Pilar. She just could not rest. I tired to convince her but Pilar is Pilar." Theresa looked at her strangely. "Any you are?" "Oh I'm sorry. I'm Mary and you are?" "Theresa" "That names sounds familiar I don't why. I will ask my husband he probably knows. Ethan! Come over here. I want you to meet someone." As Theresa heard Ethan's name she almost jumped and then he was there in front of her and she did not know what to say. "Mary, who do you want me to see…" When he saw Theresa his heart skipped a beat. "Theresa?" She simply smiled. Mary said, "I knew you would recognize her. How do you know her?" He looked at Mary and then back at Theresa. "She's Pilar's eldest daughter. Theresa it's so good to see you." He hugged her for a little too long. She did not want him to ever-let go but he did when he heard Luis's voice. "Mrs. Crane!' Mary turned around. "Yes?" Luis looked at her shocked. "Not you here." Theresa turned to look at him as soon Matt and Prue got there. "Mary!" Matt yelled. "Matt!" Marry yelled back. "Mary as in your sister Mary?" Theresa said. Then Sheridan walked around the corner. "Luis!" Luis looked at her. Then the door opened and Miguel peeked his head out. "Will you quit down please. My mother is sleeping."
Cici looked around at her brothers and sisters and tried to think of something to do. There was nothing to do. There was nothing on TV. She was getting so bored. Why did she have to stay here? Her younger brother Mark could watch them just as easily. That is what she was going to do. Her parents will not have to know. I might as well get all I can out of this trip. She went and found Mark and told him to watch this kids because she was going out and did not give him a chance to tell her not too.
Jamie looked at his grandmother; she was sleeping with baby Julie in her arms. He picked up Julie and laid her down in her crib with out waking up her or his grandmother. He decided that it would be better to let them sleep. His grandmother had not gotten any sleep since the accident. No one had, but she got the worst of it. She blamed herself for what had happened and he knew it. He hated seeing his grandmother like this. Her and Pilar were as best friends although she worked for her. He knew neither would ever admit it but they were. She had stayed with Pilar until Miguel and Kay has arrived. Sitting their watching Pilar, lying there lifeless and helpless had really torn her up. It hurt him to see his grandmother like that. He kissed her on the head and then left a note for her saying that he was headed to the park and not worry he would be back soon.
