Alexis:
“Thanks for the dance Mr. Jacks!” She exclaimed, as the
tunes of the song had faded away.
Jax: “Right back at you Mrs. Jacks!” He exclaimed, as
they linked their arms, and ventured back to where Ric, Grace, Ned
and Skye were sitting.
Ned: “Looking good…” He replied, as Jax and Alexis
had taken a seat at the table.
Jax: “Had you expected anything else…?” He asked
sarcastically.
Alexis: “Don’t start you guys…”
Grace: “To avoid the boys getting into a so-called ‘pissing
contest’ I’d like to propose a toast! To the future of
Kristina Adela Davis–Corinthos, and here’s to her mother
remaining happy for the rest of her life too…” She replied
raising her glass.
Ned, Skye, Jax, Alexis and Ric In Unison: “Here, here!”
Over at the table where Sonny and Carly were sitting, Carly was
annoyed by the fact that Sonny couldn’t keep his eyes away
from Alexis.
Carly: “I thought that we were supposed to have a nice time
together Sonny…?”
Sonny: “Well, aren’t we?”
Carly: “Having my husband stare at Alexis Davis–Jacks
intently isn’t exactly what I’d call a ‘nice time’!”
Sonny: “What exactly do you want from me? I have a daughter
with Alexis, whom I can’t see right now! Candy Boy is loving
each minute of it because he can keep Kristina away from me, as
well as her mother.”
Carly: “OK…Wait a minute! Are you angry with Jax because
of Kristina or because of Alexis…? Answer me Sonny! Which one
is it?!”
Sonny: “Can’t we save this conversation for later…?”
Carly: “I’ll take that as your way of telling me that
I’m right. You still have feelings for Alexis, don’t you?
Michael, Morgan and I will be staying at the ‘Brownstone’
where I know I’m loved!” She exclaimed almost running
out of ‘Luke’s’.
Jax: “Seems as if our Don is having some problems on the home
front…?”
Alexis: “Jax…?” She sighed not wanting the animosity
between Sonny and Jax to get worse than it already was.
Jax: “What? After everything that guy has done to me, and to
the women around me I do think that I’ve got a right to be
mad at him!”
Ned: “No one is arguing that Jax! But the matter of fact is
that Sonny Corinthos is Kristina’s father, and therefore badmouthing
the man won’t due any good…”
Skye: “Ned is right, Jax. You need to concentrate on your life
now! You and Alexis are married and are the legal parents of Kristina
now! Think about that instead of all the negative stuff that that
mobster has inflicted on you.”
Suddenly a new song began playing through the speakers at ‘Luke’s’,
and Ric asked Grace
Ric: “How about a dance?” He asked extending his hand
to her.
Grace: “Sure…” She smiled placing her hand in his
following him to the dance floor where Ric enveloped Grace in his
arms.
Skye: “I think it’s love…?” She smiled, as they
all watched Ric and Grace dance to the voice of Lonestar and ‘Amazed’.
‘Amazed’, performed by Lonestar
Every time our eyes meet
This feeling inside me
Is almost more than I can take
Baby when you touch me
I can feel how much you love me
And it just blows me away
I've never been this close to anyone or anything
I can hear your thoughts
I can see your dreams
Chorus:
I don't know how you do what you do
I'm so in love with you, it just keeps getting better
I wanna spend the rest of my life with you by my side
Forever and ever
Every little thing that you do
Baby I'm amazed by you
The smell of your skin
The taste of your kiss
The way you whisper in the dark
Your hair all around me, baby you surround me
You touch everyplace in my heart
Oh, it feels like the first time every time
I wanna spend the whole night in your eyes
(Chorus X 2)
(Lonestar – Lonely Grill)
As the tunes of the song began to fade away Sonny and Alexis’
eyes locked longing for what could have been them if they’d
only made some different choices a few years back. Jax could sense
that his wife was about to be pulled back into the life of Sonny
Corinthos so he placed a hand underneath Alexis’ chin, and
turned her head towards his where he placed a soft kiss on her lips.
Alexis: “Jax…? What are you doing?” She asked once
their lips were separated.
Skye: “Jax just stopped you from making the mistake of your
life…”
Alexis: “Sonny is married you guys…”
Ned: “So was he the night Kristina was created…!”
Alexis: “That’s not fair…!” She exclaimed turning
to see if Sonny was still there, and found that he wasn’t.
Jax: “Just as well…” He replied, as Alexis got up
from her chair, and fetched her purse from the table.
Grace: “Are you going somewhere Lex?” She asked, as she
and Ric returned to the table.
Alexis: “There’s someone I need to see, and set some things
straight.”
Jax: “Don’t do this…”
Alexis: “I’ll meet you at home, OK?” She replied
kissing Jax on the cheek quickly before exiting ‘Luke’s’,
and heading towards Harborview Towers or more precisely PH4.
When Alexis got off the elevator on the penthouse floor at the ‘Harborview
Towers’ she was greeted by Johnny faithfully standing guard
outside PH4.
Johnny: “Ms. Davis! Mr. Corinthos really isn’t up for
company tonight…”
Alexis: “I know…I just saw Carly taking the kids with
her into her car! I need to explain something to him Johnny –
it won’t take long, OK?”
Johnny: “All right…” He replied opening the door
for her so that Alexis could enter PH4 where she found Sonny sitting
on the couch looking into the fire.
Sonny: “I thought you’d be at home with Candy Boy by now
rolling in the sack…?” He replied getting up from the
couch to face Alexis.
Alexis: “I left him at ‘Luke’s’ because I need
to set some things straight with you!” She exclaimed placing
her purse on Sonny’s desk before venturing further into the
penthouse.
Sonny: “Like what? You’re married to Candy Boy, aren’t
you? You’ve cut me off from my daughter so I really don’t
see what we could have to discuss.”
Alexis: “Jax is merely trying to protect me, OK? As well as
he’s trying to protect Kristina. You’ve got to understand
that Jax is very dear to me, and when you badmouth him, you badmouth
me as well…”
Sonny: “I know that you love Jax as a friend, but we both know
that this so–called marriage of yours is a sham!”
Alexis: “Why do you say that?”
Sonny: “Jax married you just in time for the Judge to rule
in connection with the legal rights to Kristina…It was just
a little too convenient…”
Alexis: “Even if I hadn’t married Jax then I’m positive
about the fact that Judge Farmer would have made that same ruling!”
Sonny: “Really?”
Alexis: “Yes – really!” She exclaimed wanting Sonny
to keep on believing that her marriage to Jax was for real.
Sonny: “I realize that I wasn’t there for you when Alcazar
approached you in the park OK? But that doesn’t make me a bad
father…”
Alexis: “Now you’re putting words in my mouth! I’ve
never EVER referred to you as a bad father! The only thing I’ve
said has been that you live dangerously, and that it’s nowhere
for a child to live…”
Sonny: “It’s the same thing!” He exclaimed angrily
over the lack of contact he’d had with Kristina.
Alexis: “Stop yelling at me OK? You’ve made some choices
in your life that I don’t agree with, and that I’ll never
agree with! Bringing up a child in this penthouse might be an agreeable
compromise for Carly, but not for me!”
Sonny: “Why does Carly have to be dragged into this?”
Alexis: “Because she is the mother of two of your children…I
don’t want to stand in judgment of you Sonny, but you made
your bed a while back, and now all you’ve got to do is to go
ahead and lie in it! You’ve got two sons; Michael and Morgan.
It’s true that Kristina is your first–born, but she’s
also the one child that could get out from under this ‘organization’
– please don’t stand in the way of that…”
Sonny: “It’s already a known fact that Kristina is my
daughter! You even named her after my mother…”
Alexis: “I named her after two people, who’d fought tremendous
odds…Don’t read anymore into this!”
Sonny: “This whole thing reeks of Jax’s involvement!”
Alexis: “Jax doesn’t have anything to do with this, OK?
I made the choice to sleep with you…”
Sonny: “…To make love with me…”
Alexis: “Whatever! As a result of that night I became pregnant.
It wasn’t planned, and it certainly wasn’t something I
desired at the time. But then you faked your ‘death’,
and then to top it all off you came to my hospital bed after your
‘return’, and swore to ‘break me’…Do you
remember that?” She asked, as they both flashed back to that
awful point in their lives.
*** FLASHBACK ***
Sonny: “For more than two years, you claimed to be my friend.
And fortunate for me, you were also my lawyer, so you can't use
whatever I told you against me. Otherwise, it will be violation
of attorney-client privilege, and I will have you disbarred. I will
retaliate, I know your weaknesses, and I know how to break you.
And I'll do it without a second thought. Let's go.”
*** FLASHBACK ***
Sonny: “I was hurt, and I was upset over the DNA results, which
Ned doctored to make him the father of Kristina…”
Alexis: “If he hadn’t done that do you really believe
that Kristina would be alive today? Luis Alcazar wanted you dead,
just like Lorenzo wanted you dead!”
Sonny: “So I should thank Ned for keeping my girls away from
me…?” He asked making Alexis take notice.
