Chapter 12 - Make You Mine - PG-13

When they arrived at their destination; the room Sonny had arranged to be ready for them in 2001 as well - Alexis strode in, in front of Sonny outraged of how he'd just set back the human civilization by having kidnapped her to have his way with her in this paradise.

Sonny: "Here's your briefcase and laptop!" He exclaimed placing it on the coffee table in the room.

Alexis: "Who the hell do you think you are?"

Sonny: "Excuse me?"

Alexis: "You have got to be the most arrogant excuse for a man that I've ever met! When I refuse to go with you with viable explanations you just ignore me, and pick me up, and KIDNAP me with the help of your no-neck associate; Johnny!"

Sonny: "I needed to get both of us out of Port Charles; the very place that keeps on reminding you of my faults. And I'll be the first to admit that kidnapping you wasn't good! But how else would I have gotten through to you?"

Alexis: "Did you even consider talking to me - in Port Charles?"

Sonny: "Hey…You were the one, who left me high and dry this morning when you disappeared at the crack of dawn - remember?"

Alexis: "I needed some time to myself, OK? I'm being bombarded with thoughts and opinions that I should go with! On one side there's you and Kristina asking me to forgive all, while Jax and Cameron are on the other side asking me to work through this, and unconsciously asking me to keep you out of my life. I love Jax as a brother, and Cameron is a very close friend of mine, Kristina is my daughter, and you're the father of my miracle - can't you see that I've got 4 people I need to make happy?"

Sonny: "All you've got to do is to follow your heart! I know that it sounds strange for someone like me to be preaching about the human heart. But I've leaned the hard way what happens if you don't follow it! I tried to ignore my heart back when Carly came back from the dead!"

Alexis: "I don't accept the world that you live in Sonny, and Carly does! So maybe you just picked the wrong woman to take to this paradise?"

Sonny: "No, I didn't! I want more than Carly, and I want more than Michael. I want you and me together, and I want Michael and Kristina to have more siblings!"

Alexis: "Come again?"

Sonny: "I want to make you mine, as in happily ever after, and I want to have babies with you!"

Alexis: "Why are you saying this? You've never said that before!"

Sonny: "Probably because I never knew how I felt before I faked my death, and I saw how Cameron took care of Kristina. I wanted to be that person, and I wanted to be the one to hold you close in my arms in the middle of the night!"

Alexis: "That's all very well and good but that still doesn't change your lifestyle."

Sonny: "And what lifestyle is that?" He asked, as Alexis went back in time when she'd promised her unborn daughter that her father's world was too dangerous for her to live in.

*** FLASHBACK ***

Alexis: "I always knew who he was. I always knew what he was capable of. I just chose to look the other way. Your father is a criminal by choice, by profession. And he isn't going to change. And to tell him about you puts you in danger, and I won't do that. So sorry, little one. But I can't tell him."

*** FLASHBACK ***

Alexis: "You murder people for a living!!"

Sonny: "No, I don't!"

Alexis: "Alright then…You have Jason take care of them for you! Just like you had Jason take care of Zander years ago."

Sonny: "People who disrespect me are taught a lesson, yes! But if I'd wanted Zander dead - he sure as hell wouldn't be with Emily right now!"

Alexis: "You are really something else! How do you even gather the courage to look yourself in the mirror in the mornings? I'd run away scared!" She exclaimed walking past him to the coffee table where she picked up her briefcase and laptop, and walked into the bedroom where she placed those items on the bed before sitting down on the bed too to get some work done.

Sonny: "Damn!" He exclaimed knowing that what he'd just said hadn't helped him that much! He knew that Alexis thought of Zander as her surrogate son so what the hell was wrong with him? Sonny walked to the window overlooking the ocean, as he came to think of how Alexis had reacted when Sonny and Carly had shown up at the hospital after Zander's beating.

*** FLASHBACK ***

Carly: "Alexis? How is Zander?"

Alexis: "He's in a lot of pain."

Carly: "I'm going in to see him."

Alexis: "May I have a word with you?"

Sonny: "Yeah."

Alexis: "Someone that I care about is lying in there, badly beaten. You said that you cared about Zander and that you wanted to protect him."

Sonny: "That's true."

Alexis: "Are you responsible for his beating?"

Sonny: "No."

Alexis: "I'm not interested in creative semantics. Did you order it? Did you contribute to it in any way?"
Sonny: "Why would you think that?"

Alexis: "Well, because Zander, he's awake and he's lucid, and at some point, he might be seeking justice or revenge, and I wanted to start a defense assuming that you or your associates might be requiring legal attention."

Sonny: "I'm not going to need you on this."

Alexis: "You did it and you're not even sorry. You are cold-blooded and you are heartless. How in God's name could you do this to someone that you care about?"

Ned: "Can I take you home?"

Alexis: "Please. Get me out of here."

*** FLASHBACK ***

In the bedroom where Alexis was trying to concentrate on her legal work her cell phone suddenly rang surprising Alexis so much that she dropped the papers she was reviewing.

Alexis: "I forgot I had this! Hello?" She replied picking up the phone.

Jax: "Alright! Where has he taken you? I swear to God…"

Alexis: "Calm down Jax! He's taken me to…Paradise…" She replied as if she was in a trance, as she walked to the sliding doors, which opened out onto the terrace. She opened the sliding doors, and went outside onto the terrace to enjoy the incredible view and smell of the Puerto Rican country.

Jax: "What's that supposed to mean? Alexis? Don't tell me that you've fallen for Corinthos? Again?"

Alexis: "What makes you think that I've fallen for him?" She asked picking a Gardenia off of a plant on the terrace and smelling it.

Jax: "Because you've got that dreamy voice again - and I can hear your heart breaking in the near future if you begin feeling for that guy again."

Alexis: "That guy happens to be the father of my daughter. And speaking of Kristina: how is she?"

Jax: "She's great! She's sleeping though - she had a blast at the new amusement park!"

Alexis: "That's great! You know what? I'm feeling a little sleepy myself…" She replied yawning.

Jax: "Alright…As long as you're not sleepy together with your favorite mobster then by all means goodbye…"

Alexis: "Goodbye Jax!" She exclaimed hanging up her cell phone before heading back to the bed, lying down and falling asleep simultaneously smelling the beautiful gardenia, which was placed in the palm of her hand.

When Sonny checked in on Alexis he found her sound asleep on the bed - sleeping like an angel. He smiled his well-known dimpled smile before venturing into the kitchen. In the kitchen he found in the cupboard a dessert plate, which he filled with 5 large strawberries, which he covered with fresh whipped cream.

When Sonny returned to the bedroom he found Alexis sleeping in the position she'd been in when he'd left her a few minutes earlier. He walked to the left side of the bed where Alexis was lying, and placed the dessert plate on the bedside table, while he stroked the side of Alexis' face before tucking a lock of hair behind her ear. He then proceeded to remove her glasses, which were perfectly placed on the bridge of her nose. He placed the glasses on the bedside table before taking the desert plate in his hand, and picking up a strawberry with whipped cream on it, and touched Alexis' lips with it, which resulted in her sticking the tip of her tongue out to taste whatever had just had an encounter with her lips.

Alexis: "What are you doing?" She asked with closed eyes.

Sonny: "Trying to get on your good side?"

Alexis: "Oh really? How do you think it's going?"

Sonny: "Pretty good if I say so myself - would you like a bite?" He asked laughing.

Alexis: "What do you think?" She asked, as Sonny touched her lips with the strawberry once more before placing it in her mouth where Alexis held it asking him to eat together with her on the same strawberry. Sonny was only too happy to obey. As they both began to take small bites of the strawberry Sonny placed the dessert plate on the bedside table before joining Alexis on the bed supporting his weight by placing his arms on each side of Alexis, and placing his legs on each side of Alexis'.

Sonny: "Good, huh?" He asked, as they'd almost eaten all of the strawberry.

Alexis: "Scrumptious…" She replied, as she began nibbling on Sonny's lips, which Sonny couldn't take so he stuck his tongue into Alexis' mouth, which she gleefully caught.

Suddenly Alexis' cell phone rang having the same effect as cold water on their beautiful time together. When Alexis moved her hand from the sheets to pick up the phone, Sonny caught her hand daring her to do so.

Sonny: "That call can't possibly be more important than what we're doing right now!"

Alexis: "It could be Jax about Kristina!"

Sonny: "No, it isn't! Because I overheard you talking to him a little while ago, and if it's really important he'll call me later!" He exclaimed taking her cell phone in his hands, and throwing it up against the wall smashing it into tiny, little pieces.

Alexis: "Sonny!!!!" She exclaimed right before he claimed her lips again, which shut her up forgetting all about her smashed up cell phone. Sonny's cell phone then rang, and he immediately reached for it in his trouser pocket, and answered it saying

Sonny: "Yeah! Terrific, and that thing I asked you to do? Excellent - Gracias Rosa!"

Alexis: "That's it?" She asked stunned, as Sonny got off her, and ventured into the livingroom smiling.
