Things
hadn’t been resolved when Sonny and Alexis had gone to bed.
Alexis had gone to the bedroom to sleep, while Sonny had fallen
asleep on the couch in the livingroom. Alexis couldn’t sleep
because she kept on thinking about what she and Sonny had been arguing
about. She wanted to be with him so much, but somehow she couldn’t
get her mind to express what her heart was saying.
Alexis: “Well…Counting sheep isn’t working!”
She exclaimed walking into Kristina’s room where the little
girl was sleeping like an angel. Alexis had picked her up from Grace’s
place when she’d needed to be away from Sonny. Sonny and Alexis
had barely said two words to each other during dinner, and when
they talked it was about Kristina.
Alexis walked to the dresser in Kristina’s room where a picture
of Sonny was placed. It was obvious that Alexis was in love with
him, but the reasons were unknown to many. She loved him for his
unconditional love for both Kristina and her, his warm smile, and
the way his eyes lit up every time Kristina and her entered the
room.
Alexis checked on Kristina one last time by placing her hand on
her stomach to feel the beating of her angel’s heart. She knew
that she needed to tell the man she loved what she was thinking.
She softly closed the bedroom door, and walked down into the livingroom
where she found Sonny sound asleep on the couch.
Alexis took a seat on the couch, and placed her hand on Sonny’s
chest just as she’d placed it on Kristina’s stomach no
more than 5 minutes ago upstairs. She used her other hand to brush
away a strand of hair from Sonny’s face. You could see where
Kristina got all of her curls from: her daddy.
Sonny: “Hey…Is something wrong?” He asked waking
up due to Alexis’ soft touch.
Alexis: “Not anymore…” She replied softly placing
her lips on top of Sonny’s urging him to please her, which
he immediately did. Alexis climbed on top of Sonny, as he sat up,
and began unbuttoning the shirt she’d worn to bed button by
button. When all the buttons had been undone he ever so slowly slid
the shirt off of Alexis’ body revealing a dark blue bra.
Sonny: “I love you…” He rasped, as he began devouring
her body, while the voice of Celine Dion sang ‘I Surrender’.
“I Surrender”, performed by Celine Dion
There’s so much life I’ve left to live
And this fire is burning still
When I watch you look at me
I think I could find the will
To stand for every dream
And forsake this solid ground
And give up this fear within
Of what would happen if they ever knew
I’m in love with you
Chorus:
‘Cause I’d surrender everything
To feel the chance to live again
I reach to you
I know you can feel it too
We’d make it through
A thousand dreams I still believe
I’d make you give them all to me
I’d hold you in my arms and never let go
I surrender
I know I can’t survive
Another night away from you
You’re the reason I go on
And now I need to live the truth
Right now, there’s no better time
From this fear I will break free
And I’ll live again with love
And no they can’t take that away from me
And they will see…
(Chorus)
Every night’s getting longer
And this fire is getting stronger, babe
I’ll swallow my pride and I’ll be alive
Can’t you hear my call
I surrender all
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Right here, right now
O give my life to live again
I’ll break free, take me
My everything, I surrender all to you
(Bridge)
(Celine Dion – A New Day Has Come)
After having made magical love Sonny was lying on the couch with
Alexis on top resting her head on his chest.
Alexis: “This feels so good…Knowing that the people I
love most are in this penthouse…”
Sonny: “I’ll second that…” He replied kissing
Alexis’ hair.
Alexis: “Do you think we can do it? Raise Kristina, Michael
and Morgan as a family?”
Sonny: “Doubting yourself again? You are the perfect mother
– if there were a picture next to the description of the perfect
mother it would be one of you!”
Alexis: “Yeah, right!” She giggled snuggling against Sonny’s
warm body.
Sonny: “Parenting isn’t some skill you can learn –
it’s something that’s apparent the moment your child is
put in your arms. I mean, I’ve always wanted to be a father,
and to have a family of my own because I knew that, that would be
something I would have a stake in.”
Alexis: “I guess anyone, who haven’t grown up in a perfect
family wants something perfect for their own children. But Morgan
is so young – he’s just a year younger than Kristina –
can we really raise such two young children on top of Michael?”
Sonny: “Where is that optimistic woman I fell in love with,
huh? All we have to is believe in each other, and in the power of
our love. Then the rest will work itself out too…”
Alexis: “When you talk like that it almost makes one think
that you’re referring to the dreaded ‘M’ word…?”
She replied lifting her head from his chest to look into his eyes.
Sonny: “What if I am? Would that be so terrible? I mean, we
love each other and we love the children. I know that 3 children
at once is much, but I believe that together we can do anything.”
Alexis: “Is that a proposal?” She asked sitting up at
the same time as Sonny sat up taking Alexis’ one hand in his,
as she used the other to hold up the blanket, which was covering
her body.
Sonny: “We’ve wasted enough time with ‘what if’s’
and regrets so I don’t want to spend the next 4 years doing
that again. I want to start living, and I know that we’ve got
what it takes to do just that. I also know that it’ll be a
fight – but I feel that I’ve found someone I’d for
once enjoy fighting with…”
Alexis: “Really?” She asked with an arched eyebrow.
Sonny: “Yeah, we’re so different yet so similar. We both
know what it’s like to feel not wanted, invisible and miserable
while growing up. We both want the exact opposite for our children.
So…Alexis Davis?” He asked reaching under the couch to
fetch something.
Alexis: “Yeah…?” She asked with teary eyes.
Sonny: “Will you be my wife?” He asked opening up a small
velvet case that entailed a beautiful emerald ring.
Alexis: “Oh God…” She breathed deeply upon seeing
the look in Sonny’s eyes, and the beautiful ring he was asking
her to keep on her finger for at least the next 50 years.
Sonny: “Well…?”
Alexis: “Nothing would make me happier than to wear that ring
for many decades to come. So…Yes! I will marry you Sonny…”
She laughed with tears in her eyes, as Sonny placed his hands around
her neck, and kissed her ever so tenderly on the lips.
Sonny: “All right! To make it official!” He exclaimed
before taking Alexis’ hand and kissing the ring finger before
placing the ring on it.
Alexis: “It’s absolutely beautiful – thank you…”
She smiled before placing a sweet kiss on Sonny’s lips.
Sonny: “It pales in comparison to the woman, who’s carrying
it!” He exclaimed kissing her on the cheek.
Alexis: “You’re good at sucking up…” She laughed,
as she leaned against him and Sonny slowly fell back against the
couch where once again they got lost in each other. They wanted
to show each other just how much the other person meant to them,
and nothing could prove that more than to make love. To accompany
their lovemaking the voice of Shania Twain sang ‘Forever And
For Always’ from the stereo in the livingroom.
‘Forever And For Always’, performed by Shania Twain
In your arms I can still feel the way you
Want me when you hold me
I can still hear the words you whispered
When you told me
I can stay right here forever in your arms
Bridge:
And there ain’t no way
I’m lettin’ you go now
And there ain’t no way
And there ain’t no how
I’ll never see that day….
Chorus:
‘Cause I’m keeping you
Forever and for always
We will be together all of our days
Wanna wake up every
Morning to your sweet face – always
Mmmm, baby
In your heart – I can still hear
A beat for every time you kiss me
And when we’re apart
I know how much you miss me
I can feel your love for me in your heart
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
(I wanna wake up every morning)
In your eyes – (I can still see
the look of the one) I can still see
the look of the one who really loves me
(I can still feel the way that you want)
the one who wouldn’t put anything
else in the world above me (I can still see love for me) I can still
see love for me in your eyes (I still see the love)
(Bridge)
(Chorus X 2)
I’m keeping you forever and for always
I’m in your arms
