Chapter 24: Fear
Sheridan awoke to the sound of running water. She realized that Luis was taking a shower. She loved waking up and knowing that he was near and would always be with her. She smiled as she remembered the night of passion they shared here in this room. But Sheridan was not feeling well lately. She had been throwing up and having morning sickness for the past few days. She had decided to make an appointment with her physician that she had been seeing for years while living in Paris. She was sure that she just probably had the flu and that she needed some medicine.
However, Luis thought otherwise. He was so certain that Sheridan was pregnant. He claimed it was because all the signs were apparent. Her glowing cheeks, the morning sickness, but Sheridan ignored Luis' ideas. It would be wonderful if she were pregnant, but she
didn't want to get her hopes up too soon. Luis emerged from the bathroom. He had a white towel wrapped around his waist and his hair was dripping wet. Sheridan bit her lip and she looked at Luis. He was so sexy she thought to herself. "Hey sleepyhead you're finally up. The shower is all yours." "Good morning Luis, I have an appointment today with Dr. Jenkins at 10:00 am so don't forget ok." "Alright Sheridan. Do you want me to make you some breakfast?" "Sure breakfast sounds good."
Suddenly, Sheridan felt sick to her stomach and she ran into the washroom quickly. Luis ran in afterwards and held her forehead as she vomited. "I am telling you Sheridan you're pregnant." "We won't know until after the appointment Luis, so please don't get your
hopes up." "Alright I want, but if you are I'll be the happiest man alive." "I'd be happy too." Sheridan beamed. Later that morning, Sheridan sat in Dr. Jenkins office holding Luis' hand as they awaited the test results.
However, what Sheridan and Luis hadn't noticed was two men following them in a black convertible. "We have to kill her tonight" "How are we going to get rid of that friend of hers." "We will create a diversion, don't worry I know what to do." "C'est tres facile" (this means it is very easy) "Oui" the man laughed after he agreed with his friend.
Dr. Jenkins entered the office and sat down at his desk. "Well I have the results Mr. and Mrs. Fitzgerald." "Well doctor are we going to have a baby or not" Dr. Jenkins looked at Luis and Sheridan and then looked down at the test results and said.
"You are...."
