A
week later Cameron and Alexis had decided to throw a little party
celebrating the fact that she’d made it out of the building
in time. Alexis, however wasn’t feeling up to partying, as
she’d been feeling under the weather recently taking extra
trips to the bathroom to throw up.
Cameron: “You sure I shouldn’t cancel the party?”
He asked, as he and Alexis were sitting in the kitchen having a
cup of coffee.
Alexis: “I’m positive – besides Kristina has been
looking forward to this party for days! I just need to take a nice,
hot, long bath and then I’ll be right as rain.” She replied
taking a sip of coffee.
Cameron: “OK…Then I’ll go into the livingroom, and
set things up…” He replied kissing Alexis gently on her
forehead before venturing into the livingroom.
Alexis: “Good…” She replied waiting for Cameron to
exit the kitchen before hurrying upstairs to fetch a pregnancy kit
out of her purse. She knew that it had been so dumb of her to make
love to Sonny without any protection. But they hadn’t known
if they’d survive the explosion, and to tell the truth: they’d
been hungry for each other.
She had no problem remembering the last time she’d felt this
way – the evening she’d bumped into Sonny in the hall
between PH2 and PH4 almost collapsing in his arms…
*** FLASHBACK ***
Sonny: “She's sick, I think. Do you want me to call a doctor?”
Alexis: “No. I'm…Absolutely not. I'm just fine. I have
a flu or something and I'm…I'm perfectly fine, honestly, so…”
Sonny: “Alright, well, if you need anything…”
Alexis: “I don't need anything. You know, Kristina's in there,
she'll be happy to hover. Sorry to…You guys have a great…”
Sonny: “Are you sure?”
Alexis: “Yes.”
Sonny: “Alright.”
Alexis: “Thanks.” She replied before rushing into her
apartment where she began looking through her day planner, counting
the dates furiously.
Alexis: “All right, do it again. OK, 28…29, 30, 31, 37,
38, 39. Now, see, that can't be right. You miscalculated, Alexis.
Do it again, do it again. OK, 28, 29, 30,31, 32, 33, 34, 35, 36…40.
Oh, God. Oh, God. God, this can't be happening. Oh, my God.”
She panicked having circled the room in her day planner.
*** FLASHBACK ***
Alexis walked into the bathroom where she placed the pregnancy test
on some towels followed by her looking into the mirror thinking
back to one of the many conversations she’d had with her daughter,
while she’d still been in her stomach.
*** FLASHBACK ***
Alexis: “Hi. How you doing? Ooh, she's cute. All right, listen
up. Here's the deal. Ahem. You need to know that this is…It's
not going to be "Leave it to Beaver." This is not even
going to be "The Brady Bunch." I will promise that it
will be something on the Family Channel. I don't know what. I…I
don't know what I’m doing right now, but you…But you need
to know that I'm very capable and I'm a…I’m a very quick
study. You also need to know, boy or girl that you will not be playing
with toy guns in this house, no matter who your father is. Is being
a mobster genetic?”
*** FLASHBACK ***
In the meantime friends of Cameron and Alexis’ were arriving
downstairs, and Alexis knew that she needed to take the test. She
took the test, hid it away in a drawer, and joined the guests in
the livingroom.
Jax: “There you are stranger!” He exclaimed, as Alexis
descended the stairs wearing a pair of black pants together with
a black camisole, and blue shirt that was open together with a pair
of black sandals.
Alexis: “Hi, yourself! You look great!” She exclaimed
hugging Jax tightly knowing that he was the one person she could
confide in.
Sam: “You look wonderful…” She replied hugging her
tightly.
Alexis: “You look…Pregnant!” She laughed, as Sam’s
stomach was huge.
Jax: “But beautiful!”
Alexis: “Absolutely! You’ve seen that daughter of mine
anywhere?” She asked looking around for Kristina.
Jax: “No, but we just arrived!” He exclaimed, as Skye
joined them.
Skye: “Hey, Lex! You look beautiful!”
Alexis: “Thanks – have you seen Kristina lately?”
Skye: “She’s in the kitchen with Cameron and Coleman!”
Alexis: “Oh, why?” She asked knowing perfectly well that
neither Cameron or Coleman knew how to cook.
Skye: “I think Kristina’s exact words were: ‘it’s
a surprise auntie Skye – now shoot!’” She laughed.
Jax: “That sounds like my favorite rug rat!”
Alexis: “I wonder what they’re up to…?” She
asked aloud frowning.
Sam: “I’m sure it’s a pleasant surprise!”
Skye: “I for one agree with you Sam – Krissy probably
just wants to pamper her mother due to the horrific stuff you’ve
been subjected to lately…”
Alexis: “…Which reminds me: Jax? Can I speak to you in
private for a few minutes?” She asked turning to Jax.
Jax: “Sure!” He exclaimed exiting the house together with
Alexis leaving Sam and Skye in the livingroom, while they walked
to the swings in the backyard.
Alexis: “I need to talk to someone about this, and I need someone,
who I know won’t spill this to a special someone.”
Jax: “Sonny? OK – what did our honored Mr. Corinthos do
to you in that building?”
Alexis: “Nothing, everything!” She exclaimed making Jax
frown.
Jax: “You’ll have to be a bit more clearer than that!”
Alexis: “He didn’t do anything bad – in fact it was
good!”
Jax: “What was?”
Alexis: “First you need to understand that I care a lot about
Cameron, and he’s been so kind to me these past years…”
Jax: “…But?” He asked knowing that there was more
to this story than Alexis was letting on.
Alexis: “Sonny and I thought we were dying, and I began experiencing
all these familiar feelings for him. Jax – it was like we were
back in April of 2002, the night that Kristina was conceived.”
Jax: “Oh God – so you’re saying that you and Sonny
made love, while caught in the building?”
Alexis: “Yes, and…”
Jax: “There’s more?” He asked amazed that there could
be more to this story.
Alexis: “Yeah, I think I’m pregnant!”
Jax: “And you think that the baby is Sonny’s?” He
concluded.
Alexis: “I haven’t been intimate with Cameron for a very
long time – there never was a good time, and I…If I’m
pregnant Sonny is the father!”
Jax: “If you’re pregnant? So you don’t know?”
Alexis: “I took the test a little while ago, and it’ll
take a little while longer before I can tell…”
Jax: “…If you’re carrying Sonny’s child again?
What will you do if you’re pregnant? What will you tell Kristina?
What will you tell Cameron?” He asked amazed that his best
friend found herself in such a situation once more.
Alexis: “I don’t know! Kristina has always been my foremost
consideration when doing something, and the last thing I want to
do is to hurt her or Cameron, but I have to do what my heart tells
me to, right?”
Jax: “Absolutely…The only question that remains I guess
is: what does it say?”
Alexis: “That only one man has ever held my heart in the palms
of his hands, and that person is Sonny…” She replied with
teary eyes.
Jax: “I kinda figured it! But there are other people than you
and Sonny – aside from Kristina there’s also Carly, Michael,
Morgan…”
Alexis: “I know that, and I don’t even know what Sonny
is thinking, I mean…I haven’t seen him since we were rescued
from the building!”
Jax: “My advice to you is to talk to him when you know the
results of the test, and just be honest with him, yourself and your
heart. Nothing can go wrong if you consider these things…”
Alexis: “OK – thanks Jax…You’re a lifesaver!”
She exclaimed hugging her old friend tight before they ventured
back into the house.
Cameron: “There you guys are!” He exclaimed, as Jax and
Alexis entered the house surprised that all eyes were turned on
them.
Jax: “Yeah, we just had a little heart-to-heart!” He exclaimed,
as he walked to stand beside Sam, and Alexis walked to stand beside
Kristina.
Alexis: “What’s all this?” She asked looking at the
table where a strawberry pie had been placed reading in whipped
cream: ‘Welcome Home’.
Kristina: “A welcome home cake! Daddy told me that you loved
strawberries so uncle Cameron got Elizabeth to make a strawberry
pie for you!”
Alexis: “Really? Well, it looks yummy!” She exclaimed,
as everyone got a piece of pie, and celebrated the fact that Alexis
was alive and well.
Later in the night when Alexis could tell by Cameron’s breathing
that he was sound asleep she tip-toed into the bathroom where she
retrieved the pregnancy test from the drawer, and closed her eyes
before lifting the stick up to her eyes to reveal whether or not
she was pregnant. She opened her eyes ever so slowly, and replied
softly
Alexis: “It’s blue: I’m pregnant…” She
immediately moved one hand to her stomach thinking to herself that
she was once again carrying Sonny’s child – this time
around a child that had been created in a moment of honesty. Alexis
knew that it wouldn’t be easy telling Sonny about their addition
to the Davis-Corinthos clan, but she did however know that he’d
be ecstatic to know that he’d be a father in a matter of months.
