2003: Antonio learns that he is about to die. Although she is engaged to Antonio and he is engaged to Beth, Sheridan and Luis plot to elope. However, Beth foils their plan. The two couples arrive for their double wedding, with Sheridan and Luis each thinking that the other has decided not to elope. Sheridan and Antonio exchange vows, but Mrs. Wallace thwarts Beth and Luis's nups.

2004: Antonio tells Sheridan to be with Luis, then dies in a plane explosion. Sheridan and Luis reunite. They head to Mexico, where they meet Mr. and Mrs. Wheeler. Sheridan asks Luis to marry her. In turn, Luis surprises her with a commitment ceremony.

2005: Sheridan and Luis plan to make their vows official after Antonio is pronounced dead. At the altar, Sheridan reads a note revealing that Mrs. Wheeler is really the bride's presumed-dead mother, Katherine. Sheridan and Luis learn that his missing father, Martin, is posing as Mr. Wheeler and has been in hiding with Kat all these years. Sheridan is thrilled to reunite with her mom, but Luis is irate about Kat and Martin's return to Harmony. Unable to agree about their parents, Sheridan and Luis do not wed. Since nobody (including Luis) believes Sheridan's claims that Marty is her son and not Beth's, she demands a DNA test: Marty is Sheridan and Luis's son. Upset that Luis needed physical evidence about Marty in order to believe her, Sheridan sends her lover off to find their son, who had been kidnapped by Beth. During a tsunami, Sheridan meets Chris.
