Alexis
felt a pair of lips touching her forehead softly, and she opened
her eyes preparing herself for Sonny’s soulful, brown eyes.
But instead she found herself looking into Cameron’s caring
eyes.
Cameron: “Hey, sleepyhead! I was wondering when you would wake
up!” He exclaimed happily watching Alexis’ eyes flutter
open.
Alexis: “Where am I?” She asked confused.
Cameron: “’General Hospital’! Jax and I were able
to make our way through the debris, and find you guys…”
Alexis: “Sonny! Where is Sonny? Is he OK?” She asked hyperventilating
wondering why Cameron hadn’t mentioned him.
Cameron: “He’s just fine…Carly is with him right
now! He was adamant that you were to be carried out first! Did you
two get to talk things through?”
Alexis: “How do you mean?”
Cameron: “Well, it wasn’t that long ago that you were
considering asking for sole custody of Kristina, and then you got
trapped inside a building with Sonny! You seem pretty concerned
about a man, whom you’ve recently sworn to keep Kristina away
from.”
Alexis: “I’m not going to take Kristina away from Sonny,
or the other way around! Sonny has a much too great part in Kristina’s
life for me to do that!”
Cameron: “Well, that’s good! God, I’m so happy that
you made it through the explosion fine!”
Alexis: “Me too…Where is Kristina?” She asked smiling.
Cameron: “She’s spent the night with Coleman and Skye.”
He replied, as the door opened, and Jax and Sam walked in.
Jax: “Hey, you! You’ve decided to join the rest of us?”
He asked smiling, as he walked to kiss and hug Alexis.
Alexis: “I’m considering it…” She replied joking,
as she and Sam also hugged.
Sam: “These guys fought like cat and dogs to rescue you and
Sonny! They even went against Mac Scorpio’s orders.”
Alexis: “Really? What did Mac say?” She asked arching
an eyebrow.
Jax: “Nothing…”
Sam: ”Nothing? Neither he nor the Fire Marshall dared sending
their people into the building! But then I faked contractions and
Jax and Cameron succeeded in entering the building wearing firemen
clothes, of course!”
Alexis: “Of course! You guys shouldn’t have risked your
lives like that!” She reprimanded them being serious for a
minute.
Cameron: “And should we just have left you and Sonny in there?
Someone had to act, and apparently in that instant the someone’s
were Jax and myself.”
Sam: “We should probably get going! I’m going to have
an ultrasound, and we don’t want to keep Dr. Meadows waiting!”
Alexis: “Go ahead – and good luck!”
Sam: “Thanks!” She exclaimed hugging her goodbye followed
by Jax doing the same thing.
Jax: “Don’t even think that you won’t get a welcome
home bash…”
Alexis: “I was counting on it!” She exclaimed smiling
watching as Jax and Sam made their way out of the room.
Cameron: “Bobbie gave me this…” He replied holding
up the promise ring.
Alexis: “Oh…You know I…”
Cameron: “Finding out that you were trapped in there with Sonny
only made me want to convert this to an engagement ring, but I know
you’re not ready for that! But will you once again accept this
ring?” He asked holding Alexis’ hand in his.
Alexis: “Cameron…?”
Cameron: “Yeah?”
Alexis: “Something happened when I…”
Kristina: “MOMMY?!” She exclaimed from the doorway running
to her mother, and jumping up on the bed to hug her mother tightly.
Alexis: “And who are you, young lady?” She asked smiling,
as Cameron left mother and daughter to themselves.
Kristina: “Kristina Chloe Davis-Corinthos, of course!”
She smiled, as mother and daughter gave each other a kiss on the
lips. Coleman, Skye, Cameron and Sonny were standing outside the
hospital room watching the loving reunion of mother and daughter.
Alexis: “You’ve been a good girl to auntie Skye and uncle
Coleman?” She asked as Kristina was lying on her mother’s
stomach resting her head on Alexis’ chest, while Alexis played
with Kristina’s hair.
Kristina: “Yep! I played soccer with Coleman, and guess what
mommy?”
Alexis: “What?” She asked acting surprised.
Kristina: “I won!”
Alexis: “You did? And how do you suppose we celebrate that?”
She asked kissing Kristina on the top of her head.
Kristina: “A party!” She exclaimed with excited eyes that
made Alexis laugh aloud.
Alexis: “If a party is what you want – that’s what
we’ll have!” She exclaimed enjoying some private time
with her precious daughter.
Outside the room Sonny was so caught up in Alexis and Kristina that
he didn’t even notice Carly coming to stand beside him.
Carly: “Are you ready to go? Michael and Morgan are waiting
at home!”
Skye: “Now? It’s 9 o’clock in the evening!”
Carly: “They’ll want to see their father!” She snapped
at Skye.
Sonny: “Tomorrow will be soon enough – goodnight you guys!”
Coleman: “Goodnight! Retract those claws Tiger!” He exclaimed
kissing Skye on the cheek to calm her down.
Skye: “What that man sees in Carly I’ll never understand!”
She exclaimed, as she joined Cameron and Coleman in a cup of coffee
– ‘General Hospital’ style.
When Sonny and Carly arrived at PH4, Carly was beginning to become
irritated because Sonny hadn’t spoken one word to her in the
limo.
Carly: “OK! What have I done now?”
Sonny: “Nothing as far as I know, but then again I’m never
up to speed on your latest shenanigans!” He exclaimed walking
to the bar to pour himself a drink.
Carly: “What did you and Alexis exactly talk about during your
‘confinement’?”
Sonny: “Private stuff!”
Carly: “What kind?”
Sonny: “The kind that’s private, and none of your business!”
Carly: “Fine! Are you coming to bed?”
Sonny: “I think I’ll stay down here and sleep!”
Carly: “What the hell for?”
Sonny: “I won’t sleep much – so it’s for the
best!” He exclaimed walking to the window to think.
Carly: “Fine! You stay down here, and you stand by your window
and suffer – like always!”
‘Bring Me To Life’, performed by Evanescence
How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I’ve become so numb without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home
Chorus:
Wake me up inside
Wake me up inside
Call my name and save me from the dark
Bid my blood to run before I come undone
Save me from the nothing I’ve become
Now that I know what I’m without
You can’t just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life
(Chorus)
Frozen inside without your touch without your love
Darling only you are the life among the dead
All this time I can’t believe I couldn’t see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me
I’ve been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
Without a thought without a voice without a soul
Don’t let me die here there must be something more
Bring me to life
(Evanescence – Fallen)
Sonny walked to the couch where he laid down taking a deep breath
trying to relax in the knowledge that he’d soon be with Alexis
again – willing that she’d leave Cameron of course.
*** FLASHBACK ***
Sonny: “You know what, Kristina? I admire you because you're
looking out for your sister, and I'd do the same with mine if she'd
let me.”
Kristina: “Now, wait…Wait a second. I think that you're
missing my point here.”
Sonny: “No, no, look. The point is you want to protect Alexis.
So do I. End of discussion.”
*** FLASHBACK ***
Sonny: “You’re everything to me Alexis, and nothing will
separate us!”
