Chapter 15Rating: PGDisclaimer: Sunset Beach belongs to Aaron Spelling and NBC. This fanfic is purely for fans entertainment. Meg: "OK, Benjy, time to go home". Benjy: "Do we have to Meg?" Meg: "Yes, we do. Your daddy will be worried about us if we're out for much longer". Benjy: "Will you take me here again sometime?" Meg smiled: "Of course I will. And maybe your daddy will come too." Benjy: "And Mommy and Tess too?" Meg's smile faded a little: "Well, we'll see." She took Benjy's hand and they went home. Ben was pacing up and down waiting for Meg to get home so he could tell her about Tess moving out. He looked at his watch every two minutes. Suddenly a photo of him and Meg caught his eye and he stopped pacing. He picked up the photo and smiled. "Soon we'll be married Meg and this time nothing is going to stop us," Ben thought to himself. But Ben didn't know that danger was just around the corner for his family... Ricardo sat in his loft trying to read the newspaper but every few minutes SHE would pass through his mind. "This is crazy," he said to himself. "I'm engaged to Gabi. So why do I have feelings for this other woman? NO, I can't have feelings for her. We haven't exactly been friends since she got to Sunset Beach and she's in love with another man! But he treats her like dirt. He doesn't deserve her. No! I can't think about her like this. I have to concentrate on Gabi. She and I are going to be married soon and I have to forget about..." His voice trailed off. He wished he could talk to someone about his feelings but there was no one that would understand. Unless... suddenly he knew the perfect person to talk to... Gabi finished her shift at the police station. She had barely been able to concentrate. Francesca had given her and Antonio more time to come up with the $200,000 but she was still blackmailing them about the tape of them making love. Every time Gabi thought about the tape, she had to force herself not to think of her buried feelings for Antonio. She had to concentrate on Ricardo. They were going to be married and she had to forget about Antonio as soon as Francesca had her money. Gabi wished she could talk to someone about her conflicting feelings but how could anyone understand her cheating on her fiance with his brother, a priest? There had been so many times when she wanted to talk to Vanessa or Meg about what happened but what would they think of her? They had always been such wonderful friends and both had values and principals. She couldn't bear to lose their friendship. But Gabi knew deep down that Vanessa and Meg were true friends and they would never judge her but could she bring herself to tell them the truth? Suddenly she knew the perfect person to talk to... When Meg and Benjy got home, Benjy told Ben all about the park and when he went to wash his hands, Ben told Meg about Tess. Meg: "So she's really moving out today?" Ben: "Yes she is. She understood but I don't think she was too happy about it but at least she is moving out!" Meg: "How are you going to exlain to Benjy that Tess is moving out?" "No", came a little voice from the stairs.
