Chapter 13 -- Feeling Love

That very same evening Alexis had dropped Kristina off at Coleman and Skye’s place, and driven to the ‘Harbor View Towers’, and traveled with the elevator up to PH4 where she was getting ready to knock on the door.

Alexis: “You need to get this over with – so just knock – darn it!” She exclaimed, as she knocked twice on the door.

Sonny: “Hey…? I was just thinking about you! Come on in!” He exclaimed allowing Alexis entrance to the penthouse.

Alexis: “It’s pretty quiet…” She replied amazed of how quiet the kids were.

Sonny: “The kids are with Carly…At the ‘Port Charles Hotel’…”

Alexis: “Really? How come?” She asked just as Sonny pulled her into his embrace, and claimed her lips.

Sonny: “I’ve missed you so much…” He replied looking into her eyes, as he separated their lip lock.

Alexis: “Me too…But I need to tell you something first!” She exclaimed looking deeply into his eyes.

Sonny: “Sure – what is it?” He asked leading her to the couch where they sat down, as Alexis got ready to tell Sonny her exciting news.

Alexis: “God…This is difficult! To make a long story short: I’d been feeling a little under the weather lately, so I decided to rule out the chance of being pregnant. I then took a pregnancy test, and it came out…Positive…I’m pregnant with your baby!” She exclaimed with teary eyes.
Sonny: “You’re pregnant?” He asked amazed by this happy news.

Alexis: “Yeah with your child!” She exclaimed happily.

Sonny: “Our baby…” He replied in awe, as he placed his left hand on Alexis’ stomach to feel the home their baby would have for the next 9 months.

Alexis: “…Our baby…” She replied putting her hands on top of Sonny’s enjoying the completion she was seeing on Sonny’s face.

Sonny: “Kristina’s baby brother or sister is on it’s way…”

Alexis: “It sure is…Are you happy?”

Sonny: “I’m ecstatic – can’t you tell?” He replied showing off his dimples, as he leaned in and kissed Alexis on the lips.

Alexis: “Carly’s gone?”

Sonny: “Yep – is Cameron gone?”

Alexis: “He’s using the guestroom – but I’ve told him that I want to try being with you…For both Kristina’s and this new baby’s sake…”

Sonny: “Good…” He replied leaning in for yet another kiss that quickly turned passionate, as Sonny helped Alexis lie down on the couch comfortably, as their mouths began doing a dance of their own.

Alexis: “I can’t tell you in words how much I’ve missed your touch all these years…” She replied, as Sonny’s lips made contact with her delicate skin underneath her ear.

Sonny: “Hey…I feel exactly the same way!” He exclaimed looking into her eyes before they got lost in each other’s touch once more to the voice of Mariah Carey singing ‘Melt Away’.

‘Melt Away’, performed by Mariah Carey

You come to me with a casual flow
And suddenly my defenses start to go
When you talk to me in that sensual tone
It envelops me and I lose my self-control

Chorus:

And baby I just melt away
Fall like rain
Everytime I see your face I go off
I just want to break it down
Anytime you come around
Maybe I could melt away in your arms

Imagining that you’re taking it slow
And so tenderly
‘Till the feeling overflows
When you look at me I go soft and cave in
And I can’t conceal that I’m slowly weakening

(Chorus)

You and me in a cloud of reverie
Spin around inside my head unendingly
Thoughts run wild as I sit and rhapsodize
Paint pretty pictures of what I’d do if you were mine
(Chorus)

(Mariah Carey – Daydream)

After having made heavenly love, Alexis was lying on top of Sonny with her head placed on his warm chest, as Sonny played with some locks of her hair enjoying just being with the one they loved.

Sonny: “I’d like to see Candy Boy’s face when you tell him that we’re back together!”

Alexis: “He’ll be happy for us, and so will Skye…” She replied moving her head from his chest to look into his eyes.

Sonny: “You sure about that?” He joked showing off his dimples.

Alexis: “I’m positive…” She replied smiling touching Sonny’s face ever so softly.

Sonny: “What you doing?” He asked enjoying her touching him.

Alexis: “You mind?” She smiled showing off her dimples.

Sonny: “Nope – you know…?” He replied smiling and releasing a laugh.

Alexis: “What?” She smiled dreading what memory he was about to tell of her this time around.

Sonny: “I remember that evening when Courtney had gone away with A.J. and you came with me into my bedroom – you couldn’t even tolerate me getting undressed to go to bed!”

Alexis: “Your point being…?” She asked not liking being used as an example.

Sonny: “Nothing…It’s just nice having you change so dramatically in the course of some odd years…” He replied, as Alexis placed her head on Sonny’s chest, and he wrapped his arms around her, as they both thought back to that evening in March of 2002.

*** FLASHBACK ***

Alexis: “Is this your bedroom?”

Sonny: “Yeah.”

Alexis: “Great. Go to bed.”

Sonny: “Aren’t you going to help me out?”

Alexis: “I didn’t realize that you were incapacitated.”

Sonny: “Check it out, check it out. Go ahead.”

Alexis: “It’s very nice.”

Sonny: “Check it out. Take a walk. Go in there, look at it.”

Alexis: “Very nice.”

Sonny: “What do you think?”

Alexis: “It’s…Big. What, do you expect me to carry you in?”

Sonny: “No, I think I can make it to the bed. Unless you want to help me get undressed?”

Alexis: “No…I mean…I…I think you’re perfectly capable of doing that all by yourself.”

Sonny: “Well, it depends on the circumstances because sometimes I’m slow and careful and other times I just get reckless, you know what I’m saying?”

Alexis: “Oh. Yeah, uh-huh.”

Sonny: “Well, you don’t have to walk away.”

Alexis: “I wasn’t walking away. I was just walking. I just felt like walking…For I did…Never mind.”

Sonny: “Good. All right. Oh, man. What now?”

Alexis: “Lie down…You lie down…Alone, on your bed and close your eyes.”

Sonny: “I’d like to actually look.”

Alexis: “Wait, you can’t do that and sleep. I see you have black satin sheets.”

Sonny: “Yeah. They’re great for sex.”

Alexis: “I’m sure they are. Just close your eyes. OK…And just…”

Sonny: “You should try satin, you know what I mean?”

Alexis: “I will. Next time I go to the linen store. I will…”

Sonny: “There’s nothing better than satin sheets, I got to tell you, when you’re, like, lying under them.”

Alexis: “Close your eyes and go to sleep and just go to sleep.”

Sonny: “Ah.”

Alexis: “Oh, God.”

*** FLASHBACK ***

Alexis: “What you laughing at?” She asked, as Sonny’s body was doubled over by laughter.

Sonny: “Nothing…”

Alexis: “Yeah…?” She asked taking a pillow, and playfully put it on his head pressing lightly before removing it again.

Sonny: “I love it when you stammer…” He replied with the dimples showing right before Alexis claimed his lips to get him to shut up.
