Love
Endures Chapter 5 - The Terrible Choice A few hours later Sonny, Jason and Grace were waiting for Tony Jones to come out, and tell them what the latest news was on Alexis. Sonny: "Just tell me what happened Grace!" He exclaimed, as she, Jason and Sonny were sitting in the waiting area on a couch. Grace: "I had been by Alexis' office earlier, and I'd forgotten my handbag so I returned to get it, and I met Ned by the elevators, and he said that Alexis needed me. I thought that he was just being an asshole as usual but then Anna; Gia's assistant screamed, and I ran to Alexis' office, and found her on the marble floor, facedown, bleeding. Anna called 911, and I drove in with the ambulance, and I haven't heard anything from Tony yet!" Jason: "Maybe she's OK Sonny!" He tried to calm his friend, but knew deep down that whatever had happened to Alexis was going to mean heartache for both Sonny and Alexis. Bobbie: "Sonny?" She asked, as she was standing in front of the three of them. Sonny: "Yeah…Bobbie!" He replied drying away his tears. Bobbie: "I'm very sorry for what's happened, Tony will be out to talk to you in a few minutes. I thought you'd might want to have these…" She replied extending a plastic bag to Sonny. Sonny: "What's this?" He asked taking the plastic bag from Bobbie. Bobbie: "The personal belongings, which Alexis had on her when she arrived here at 'General Hospital'. Tony is a very good doctor Sonny no matter what he did to Jason, Carly and Michael." Sonny: "I know Bobbie! I don't care about that right now I just want my wife to be alright, OK?" Bobbie: "I completely understand! As I said Tony will be here soon!" She replied, as she went to the Nurses' station. Grace: "I think I'm going to get some coffee? Would you guys like some?" She asked getting up from the couch. Jason: "I'll come with you! I need to call Elizabeth anyways!" He replied, as they walked to the cafeteria. Grace: "God Jason! What if she doesn't make it?" Jason: "Don't think like that Grace! Alexis will make it. It's the aftermath I'm concerned about!" Grace: "You're talking about Ned and Faith aren't you?" Jason: "Yeah…No one get's away with hurting Sonny's family, and especially not when Ned's been warned about it once before!" As Sonny was sitting in the waiting area all by himself looking at Alexis' engagement ring, and wedding ring he began to remember the morning of their 1st wedding anniversary. *** FLASHBACK *** Sonny had decided to surprise Alexis with breakfast in bed, and had gone down to the kitchen wearing only a pair of black pajamas pants. Alexis had then woken up alone in bed, and gone in search of her husband wearing Sonny's black shirt she'd ribbed off his shoulders last night. Suddenly Sonny had felt a pair of familiar female hands encircling his waist, and a pair of soft lips kissing his shoulders tenderly. Sonny: "Good morning baby!" Alexis: "Good morning to you too! What are you doing?" She asked, as she stood next to him watching him rinse some strawberries. Sonny: "Something that's common to do in kitchens; prepare breakfast!" He grinned showing off his dimples. Alexis: "Oh really? Then how about a quick cooking lesson?" Sonny: "How quick are we talking here?" He replied taking a rinsed strawberry, and placing it between Alexis' lips where she held it waiting for him to bite on it too, as he always did. He then placed his lips around the strawberry too, as they ate small pieces of it until there was no strawberry left, and they began kissing each other playing a game of cat and mouse trying to catch the other's tongue. Sonny placed his hands on Alexis' chest, and pulled the shirt she was wearing from each other, as Alexis' fingers made their way to the waistband of the pajamas pants Sonny was wearing, which he stepped out of, and they continued pleasing each other that morning, afternoon, evening and night. *** FLASHBACK *** Grace:
"Sonny?" She asked, as Jason and her had returned with
some coffee. Grace: "Some special times with Alexis? I completely understand! You don't have to hang onto those items like they're all you have left of her. Alexis is going to be just fine. You have to remember that this is the woman, who survived a childhood in the same estate as Helena Cassadine!" Sonny: "I know. I've just always had this nagging feeling that something would come between us when we were blessed the most, and it has." Jason: "For better or worse?" He replied raising his cup of coffee. Sonny, Jason and Grace In Unison: "FOR BETTER OR WORSE!" They clinked their coffee cups, as Tony Jones and Bobbie Spencer advanced towards them. Sonny, Jason and Grace stood up, as they saw Tony and Bobbie standing in front of them with news about Alexis. Sonny: "How is my wife doing Dr.?" He asked worried sick. Tony: "Sonny…I'm not going to lie to you. When Alexis was brought in she was extremely close to dying. But because of Grace's fast thinking in getting Alexis here I was able to rescue her. Tell me…Did you know that Alexis was approximately 1 month pregnant?" Sonny: "WHAT?!" Grace: "I did! Alexis had been planning on telling you the news last night, but since you couldn't make it she was going to tell you tonight!" Sonny: "Oh my God! How can this be happening again?" He replied burying his face in his hands sitting down on the edge of the coffee table behind him. Tony: "The baby was beyond savable. I'm very sorry for your loss Sonny." He replied, as Sonny was going out of his mind of blaming himself for letting his guard down, and not having discovered that Alexis had been pregnant due to the signs she'd showed. Jason: "Can she have visitors?" Tony: "Probably only Sonny for now, and tomorrow either the kids or Grace and Jason can visit. But right now she's heavily sedated, and probably won't wake up until morning. You can go and sit with her Sonny! Again…I'm so very sorry for your loss!" He replied making his way towards the nurses' station. Bobbie: "Sonny? Do you need me to take Michael for the night?" She asked squatting down in front of her former son-in-law. Jason: "Actually…Elizabeth picked up both Michael and Kristina today, and they're already sleeping so I just think that we'll watch them until Alexis is discharged." Bobbie: "Alright! It was just a suggestion. Take care of yourselves!" She replied joining Tony at the nurses' station. Tony: "I'm clearly not Corinthos' biggest fan but to go through such a tragedy without any support…" Bobbie: "Well…He's got support. Jason and Grace are like real family to him, and if he goes to sit with Alexis now you can be sure that he won't leave her side until she's discharged. Tony: "They really are in love aren't they?" Bobbie: "Yeah they are - let's just hope that their love can survive this!" Sonny: "Listen…I'm going to go and sit with her, and I'll probably stay here for the rest of the night!" He replied standing up from the coffee table. Grace: "Sonny…I hope you're not mad at me for keeping this pregnancy from you?" She asked unsure of how he felt about her right now. Sonny: "The only person I blame for this is Ned Ashton, and trust me Grace; he'll pay!" He replied hugging her before retreating to Alexis' room. Grace: "Is he going to be OK?" Jason: "I don't know, but at least he's with Alexis, and not out trying to find Ashton but something heavy is on the way Grace. You can bet on that!" He replied, as they exited the hospital on their way home. When Sonny entered the room in which Alexis was lying he found his beautiful wife with a black eye together with a cheek, which was extremely red other than that she was peacefully asleep underneath a double cover of blankets. He closed the door behind him, and sat down in an armchair, which had been placed next to the bed. He placed the plastic bag with Alexis' personal belongings on a nearby nightstand, as he gathered her hands in his and said Sonny: "I don't know where my head has been these last couple of days because the signs were clear, and now I've lost my 3rd child. I am so sorry for neglecting you the way that I have. Michael and Kristina are fine; they're staying with Jason and Elizabeth tonight, and probably tomorrow too. When I think about what that bastard did to you…I'll make sure it never happens again sweetheart because as far as I'm concerned Ned Ashton will pay!" He replied teary eyed, placing his head in Alexis' lap where he fell asleep. Suddenly out of nowhere the voice of Shania Twain begins to sing a short melody "God Bless The Child" performed by Shania Twain Hallelujah,
hallelujah (Shania Twain - The Woman In Me) When Bobbie checked in on Sonny and Alexis later on she took a blanket from one of the closets, and wrapped it over Sonny's shoulders, as she knew that it was all she could offer him right now. chapter 6
