Exactly
9 months later Alexis was sitting on the couch in PH4 wondering
where Sonny was. She knew that he’d had a tough time lately
after having divorced Carly and gotten shared custody over Michael,
and full custody over Morgan. Michael, Morgan and Michael were right
now spending some time with Jason and Courtney because Alexis had
passed her due date, and she didn’t want the children to be
home when her water broke. But she had however counted on Sonny
being home.
Alexis got up from the couch with some trouble, and walked to the
front door, which she opened to find Johnny on the other side.
Alexis: “Have you heard from him yet Johnny?”
Johnny: “There’s still no word…” He replied
sighing due to this being the 5th time in the past hour Alexis had
asked him this question.
Alexis: “OK – thanks!” She exclaimed closing the
door again, and resumed her seat on the couch.
Alexis could suddenly feel a sudden pain in her stomach, and could
also feel that the couch was wet – her water had just broken.
Alexis: “JOHNNY!!” She yelled from the couch, which alerted
Johnny, and he hurried inside the penthouse to see what was up.
Johnny: “Mrs. Corinthos – what’s wrong?” He
asked never having seen Alexis in so severe pains.
Alexis: “My water just broke! Go upstairs, and get my bag,
call the hospital, and for heaven’s sake – call Sonny!!”
She screamed from the pains.
Johnny: “Gotcha!” He exclaimed hurrying upstairs making
Alexis wonder why men were always so scared when it came to pregnant
women’s water breaking.
Alexis: “Men!” She exclaimed shaking her head trying to
keep doing the breathing exercises she’d learned in Lamaze
classes.
An hour later Alexis had been placed in a room with a machine keeping
check on the baby’s and Alexis’ vitals. Johnny was by
her side helping her breathe, as he’d taken Sonny’s place
once at the Lamaze classes.
Alexis: “Where…Is…My…Husband…Johnny?!”
She asked in between breaths.
Johnny: “Max is getting him…” He assured the sweaty
Alexis.
Alexis: “God…It hurts!” She exclaimed throwing her
body against the bed in hopelessness.
Johnny: “Come on Alexis – you have to keep on breathing
so that you and Mr. Corinthos can soon welcome this baby into the
world.
Alexis: “Johnny…?” She replied sitting up.
Johnny: “Yes…?”
Alexis: “When you’ve carried a baby around for 9 months,
thrown up for 9 months, had trouble sleeping for 9 months and been
retaining water for several months then I’ll listen to you
– but until then I’ll choose how to breathe, OK?”
Johnny: “Gotcha!” He exclaimed, as Sonny entered the room
making Alexis look at him evilly.
Alexis: “Where have you been? I’ve been worried sick!”
Sonny: “I’m sorry baby, but I was looking at houses…”
Alexis: “Houses…?”
Sonny: “Yeah for you, me, Michael, Morgan, Kristina and this
new baby…” He replied kissing her on her sweaty forehead.
Johnny: “I’ll leave you to it…” He replied leaving
the twosome by themselves.
Dr. Meadows: “How are we doing…?”
Sonny: “Breathing…I think!” He exclaimed getting
out of his jacket before holding Alexis’ hand tightly.
Dr. Meadows: “Well, you’ve dilated just enough Alexis,
so it’s time to meet that baby of yours…”
A few minutes later the contractions were becoming more painful
by the minute. Sweat was pouring down Alexis’ forehead, and
Sonny did his best to dry it away with a cloth Bobbie had supplied
him with. Dr. Meadows had taken a seat at the end of the bed Alexis
was lying on, and was ready to help Alexis give birth to her baby.
Dr. Meadows: “OK – Alexis…On the next contraction
I need you to give a proper push and then you and dad over there
can see your little angel, all right??” She asked her calmly.
Alexis: “Okay!” She replied on a short squeak, as Alexis
grabbed Sonny’s hand extremely tightly, and squeezed it as
she could feel another contraction coming on.
Sonny: “Remember: deep soothing breaths…” He replied,
as Alexis had enough strength to give him the evil eye considering
the fact that he was partly to blame over this pain she was experiencing.
Alexis: “I can feel it coming. God! It hurts so much!!”
She raised her voice a few notches.
Dr. Meadows: “PUSH!!!!” Dr. Meadows yelled and Alexis
obeyed. She could feel that something had happened.
Alexis: “What is it? Is something wrong Dr. Meadows?”
Dr. Meadows: “No, I can see the head, now all I need from you
Alexis is one, gigantic, big push.”
Alexis: “I can’t do this…It hurts too much!!”
Alexis moaned. Dr. Meadows looked at Sonny and Sonny knew what he
had to do.
Sonny: “Baby! You’re only one push away from seeing the
baby of our dreams. Do it for us darling! Do it for you, me, Kristina,
Morgan, Michael and this little angel of ours.” He pleaded
with her. Alexis gathered all of her strength and pushed with all
of her might, squeezing Sonny’s hand hard.
A few seconds later they could hear baby cries and knew that Alexis
had given birth to their baby. Bobbie bathed the baby and weighed
and measured it just before handing it over to the proud parents.
Bobbie carried a bundle, wrapped in a fuzzy pink blanket to Sonny
and Alexis and handed the baby to Alexis saying
Bobbie: “Say hello to your baby girl, Sonny and Alexis!”
Alexis turned the blanket a bit down so that they could control
that their daughter had 10 fingers and 10 toes.
Alexis: “She’s so beautiful and so petite!” Alexis
exclaimed.
Sonny: “She sure doesn’t have that from me…”
He joked mesmerized by his newborn baby daughter.
Alexis: “Have you ever seen anything this precious and vulnerable?”
Alexis asked Sonny but they both remained silent because they knew
that it was a memory they’d treasure forever.
The next day Jason and Courtney came to the hospital with the kids
so that they could meet their new baby sister.
Alexis: “Hey…” She replied from the hospital bed
where she was sitting with her daughter in her arms when they all
entered the room.
Jason: “You guys decided on a name yet?”
Sonny: “Yeah, we’ve decided on naming her Kristin Adela
Davis-Corinthos in honor of Alexis’ and my mother.”
Michael: “Great idea dad!”
Morgan: “Look…She’s holding my finger so tight!”
He exclaimed, as he’d put his pinky in the baby’s hand.
Kristina: “That means she loves you, right mommy?”
Alexis: “Exactly! And why wouldn’t she love you guys –
you are her siblings!”
Sonny: “That’s right, and we’re counting on you guys
taking care of each other when we can’t, because that’s
what brothers and sisters do!”
Kristina: “Now, we’re 2 girls and 2 boys – equals!”
She exclaimed making all the grownups laugh, and Sonny and Alexis
looked at each other feeling blessed to having had the chance of
building this family together.
“Thank God I Found You” performed by Mariah Carey, Joe
& 98 Degrees.
I would give up everything
Before I’d separate
Myself from you
After so much suffering
I finally found unvarnished truth
I was all by myself
For the longest time
So cold inside
And the hurt from the heartache
Would not subside
I felt like dying
Until you saved my life
Chorus:
Thank God I found you
I was lost without you
My every wish and every dream
Somehow became reality
When you brought the sunlight
Completed my whole life
I’m overwhelmed with gratitude
My baby I’m so thankful
I found you
I will give you everything
There’s nothing in this world
I wouldn’t do
To insure your happiness
I cherish every part of you
‘Cause without you beside me
I can’t survive
Don’t want to try
If you’re keeping me warm
Each and every night
I’ll be alright
Because I need you in my life
(Chorus)
See I was so desolate
Before you came to me
Looking back I guess
It shows that we were
Destined to shine
After the rain, to appreciate
The gift of what we have
And I’d go though it all over again
To be able to feel this way
