Chapter Eighteen
Luis meets his father at the local pool hall.
Luis: Well, everything is going according to plan.
Martin: Very good!
Luis: Not good.
Martin: Why?
Luis: Because I'm afraid that my girlfriend is going to blow our a**es right out of the water.
Back at Pilar's...
Fancy: Can I get you anything?
Pilar: No, thank you. Are you ok?
Fancy: Everything is such a mess.
Pilar: What are you talking about, sweetie?
Fancy: It wasn't supposed to be this way.
Pilar: What wasn't?
Fancy spills the beans to Pilar.
Fancy: Go find Sam -- he loves you, not my mother.
Pilar: I can't believe they are in this together. How could they try and ruin my happiness? And Martin -- he doesn't love me -- he never has.
Fancy: Go make things right with Sam before my mom wraps him in her spider web again.
Pilar: I love him too much to lose him now.
Fancy looks out the window.
Fancy: Charles is here. Would you like a ride?
Pilar: Sure. That would be great.
They leave. At HPD...Sam pulls away from Ivy.
Sam: Stop, Ivy!! This is wrong...
Ivy: It's right and you know it. You love me.
Sam: I love Pilar.
He turns off the water and gets out.
Please go.
Sam dries off and gets dressed. Ivy does the same.
Chapter Nineteen
Sam: There will never be an "us" again. As long as there is breath left in me. Not after what you did!
Ivy leaves the room and runs into an angry Pilar.
Pilar: You *****!!
She slaps her across the face. Ivy races out the door just as Sam approaches.
Sam: Pilar?
She turns to face him.
Pilar: Oh, Sam!
They embrace and share a passionate kiss.
I love you.
Sam: I love you, too. I'm so glad you're ok. You had us worried sick. Why did you disappear like that?
Pilar: You know why...I needed space.
Sam: So you hop on the Crane jet and go to Europe?
Pilar: You saw the e-mail?
Sam: I didn't mean to push you away.
Pilar: It wasn't just you...Martin was on my back 24/7, too. When I left the country I just ran into more trouble.
Sam: I know you were almost raped, but by who?
Pilar: A man named Felip. He was so sweet at first...Listen, I don't want to talk about him anymore.
Sam: Can I ask you a question?
Pilar: Si...
Sam: Have you made a decision about the future yet?
Pilar thinks about her talk with Fancy.
Pilar to herself: Do I know what I really want?
She snaps back to reality.
Outloud: Ummm...I have to go.
Pilar leaves.
Sam: What did I do?
Pilar decides to go to the Blue Note Jazz Club for a drink. There, she runs into Tess and Jared.
Tess: Mama, shouldn't you be at home -- resting?
Pilar: I can't even begin to think about sleeping. Not with everything that's on my mind.
Tess: Still thinking about the men in your life?
Pilar: I can't get them out of my head.
Meanwhile...Sam is outside and leaves a note on Pilar's windshield. After a glass of Long Island Iced Tea, Pilar decides to call it a night. She sees the note and reads it aloud.
Pilar,
Where did we first meet? Go there...to the exact spot.
Love,
Sam
Go where we first met? Tinker Park? Ok...
Pilar gets in her car and drives away. She arrives at the park and walks over to the fountain (not a
one, but one like at the church). Sam is nowhere in sight. She starts to leave, but another letter falls on the ground from the blowing of the wind. A key card slips out of it.
Pilar,
Meet me at the Seascliff Inn. Room 211. I have a surprise for you.
All my love,
Sam
Pilar does what the next letter tells her to.
What is he up to?
When she gets there, she uses the key card and unlocks the door. She creeks it open and sees Hershey's Kisses on the floor leading to the bed. On the bed, there is a giant kiss with a note that says, "I kiss the ground you walk on." There's also a rectangular box and a card with Pilar's name on it. She opens the card and reads it to herself. Then she opens the gift. It is a black nighty. Sam comes out of the bathroom in nothing but boxers.
Sam: Do you like it?
Pilar: I love it, Sam, and I love you. I'm going to go put this on for you.
Sam: Ok.
Pilar leaves the room and returns moments later. While she was changing, Sam stuck a "Do Not Disturb" sign out on the door.
Pilar: How do I look?
Sam: Amazing!
Sam kisses her and they make their way to the bed and make passionate love all night long.
Chapter Twenty
The next morning, at the Lopez-Fitzgeradls...
Luis: ****it! Mama never came home last night.
Paloma: Are you serious?
Luis: Yes, Paloma...Where could she be?
Paloma: I'm sure she's fine, Luis.
Luis: You don't know that. What if Felip followed her back to Harmony and he's hurt her? I have to call Papa.
Paloma: While you're doing that, I'm going to make us some breakfast. Is Fancy coming over?
Luis: No!
Paloma: Why not?
Luis: We got into another fight last night. It's over.
Paloma: Luis, what did you do?
Luis: Me? What about her? She's the one that always complicates things for me.
Paloma: You shouldn't have did what you did to break up Mama and Sam. He is the best thing that's happened to her in a long time and you probably screwed it up big time for them.
Luis: Well, good. Mama and Papa belong together.
Paloma: Are you trying to get them back together because you can't be with Sheridan?
Luis: True love is meant to be.
Paloma: Ok, so does that mean Tess should be with Ethan?
Luis: Absolutely not! He will just hurt her. Jared makes her happy.
Paloma: Luis...go to Fancy. I know you're dying to. Something tells me that you need to head over to the Crane estate and make things right. Your life is about to change forever.
Luis: Oh, God...don't tell me you get those premonitions, too.
Paloma: I don't know what it is, just go to Fancy.
Meanwhile, on the Crane estate...Fancy holds her head over the toilet while she throws up.
Fancy: Oh, God, what is the matter with me?
Fancy calls Dr. Russell and she comes over to examine her.
I've been throwing up a lot, Eve. I've been very nauseated here lately.
Eve: Fancy, when was the last time you had your period?
Fancy: Come to think of it, I don't remember. Why?
Eve: There's a good chance that you could be pregnant. Let me draw some blood from you.
Fancy: No, way! I hate needles.
Eve: Ok, then go to the 24 Hour Drug Store and pick up a Home Pregnancy Test and take it and then call me with the results.
Fancy sighs: All right. Thank you for coming by.
Eve and Fancy leave at the same time. Luis stops by the Book Cafe for a blueberry muffin before heading up to Raven Hill. Fancy buys the test and takes it. She learns that she is indeed pregnant -- with Luis' child!! How will he deal with the news? Will Fancy even tell him the truth?
