Love
Endures Chapter 10 - Morning Sickness A few days later Sonny had gotten word that Ned and Faith had left town, and were now irritating the inhabitants of Los Angeles but that didn't bother Sonny right now. He was happy together with his wife, and children. The thing of all was that Michael now was chicken pox free, and was able to attend football practice all he wanted together with being with his friends at the local club. Sonny and Alexis were lying in bed feeling blissful right now due to the fact that they'd just had the most amazing round of lovemaking. Alexis' head was placed on Sonny's chest, while Sonny played with a few strands of her brown mane, which he loved to do. Sonny: "They sure are quiet aren't they?" He suddenly asked. Alexis: "That could also be due to the fact that it's 3 o'clock in the morning Sonny…" She giggled looking at him as if he was crazy. Sonny: "It is? I guess time just flies away when I'm with you!" He replied smiling his dimpled smile, which he knew Alexis couldn't resist. Alexis: "I didn't even think that this was possible for me?" Sonny: "What?" Alexis: "To be happy…I thought that feeling was reserved for other people, who weren't working alcoholics like me. I mean…I never even expected to fall in love, little own get married and have children." Sonny: "I did…I wanted to remedy what was done to my mother and me." Alexis: "And you have…Which reminds me…You could be a little nicer to Mike. He is Michael and Kristina's grandfather. Sonny: "I am trying Lex! I've just spent so many years hating him for leaving my mother and I to Deke, and how he completely destroyed her bit by bit." Alexis: "You still have to remember that it wasn't Mike, who hit her. He might have destroyed her dreams, but it was Deke, who shattered her soul into tiny little pieces." Sonny: "I know that both Michael and Kristina need grandparents in the picture. Yours are gone, my mother is gone, and that leaves Mike, whom you've started to look at like a father figure but I know the man, and I'm just afraid that he'll do the same disappearing act on Michael and Kristina that he did on me, and in a way also Courtney." Alexis: "Just try, OK? That's all anyone can ask of you; try! I don't want you to feel that it's only up to you. Mike has to do some of the work too. But when you've decided something about someone then there's not much anyone else can say. Just try and talk it out with him. He does love you Sonny!" She exclaimed, as they kissed softly. Alexis could suddenly feel her stomach turning, and immediately separated her mouth from Sonny's. Sonny: "What is it? Sweetheart?" He asked worried at the expression on Alexis' face. Alexis: "I've got to go!" She exclaimed, holding her right hand in front of her mouth, as she charged into the bathroom being covered by a black, satin sheet closing the door shut behind her followed by her retching in the toilet. Sonny got worried so he wrapped the black, satin sheet around his waist, and went to the bathroom door knocking before asking Sonny: "Are you OK?" Alexis: "Uh huh! Just give me a minute, OK?" She asked drying her mouth with a wet washcloth. Sonny: "Alright! I'll go and check in on Michael and Kristina…" Alexis: "This can't be happening…" She replied, as her mind went back in time when she'd been pregnant with Kristina. *** 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…" 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 was sitting in a cubicle wearing a white gown awaiting Dr. Bonds return to tell her if she and Sonny were going to be parents. She couldn't help her mind from going back in time once again back when she'd been pregnant with Kristina. *** FLASHBACK *** Dr. Meadows: "As far as I can tell, everything looks great." Ned: "Told you. Everything's fine." Dr. Meadows: "Would you like to know the baby's sex?" Alexis: "No." Ned: "Yes." Alexis: "I can't believe I'm actually looking at my baby." Ned: "She is a girl." Alexis: "How can you tell?" Ned: "I don't know. Just do. Girl on the way." Alexis: "Is it?" Dr. Meadows: "I thought you didn't want to know." Alexis:
"Changed my mind. Tell me." Alexis: "Oh. It's a girl. It's a girl." Ned: "Yes, it is." Alexis: "Oh, she's beautiful. I didn't want to admit this to anyone, but I really wanted a girl. Hello, my girl. Wow." *** FLASHBACK *** Dr. Bonds: "Mrs. Corinthos…I've got the test results of your blood test right here!" She exclaimed entering the cubicle. Alexis: "Good…" She replied drying her eyes from the wonderful memories of being pregnant with Kristina, even though Ned had been with her. Dr. Bonds: "So I gather that this if you're pregnant the father is your husband?" Alexis: "Yes…I married Sonny 3 years ago! So…What did the blood test show?" She asked anxiously. Dr. Bonds: "Congratulations are in order; you're exactly one month pregnant." Alexis: "I'm pregnant?" She asked not believing what Dr. Bonds was telling her. Dr. Bonds: "You sure are. We have some new regulations here at 'Mercy' since your last visit. Pregnant women in their forties are to be scanned to see if they're having twins. There's a bigger danger of miscarrying, and the doctor's have to know the details of the pregnancy. Do you have time now?" Alexis: "Yeah…I don't have to pick up the kids before 3 so I have time!" She smiled at the doctor, as Dr. Bonds went to turn on the scanner. Dr. Bonds: "This might be a little cold…" She warned, as she placed the device, which was covered with some gel on Alexis' stomach. Alexis: "Does everything look alright?" She asked nervously. Dr. Bonds: "You have to remember that this is only to see if there is one baby or two in your stomach. But I'm sure that if you just relax through your pregnancy, and avoid stress you should be able to have a very normal pregnancy. What's this?" She suddenly asked, making Alexis wonder if something was wrong. Alexis: "What is it?" Dr. Bonds: "Nothing is wrong…The babies are just fine." Alexis: "Oh good! Wait! Did you just say 'babies'?" She asked alarmed. Dr. Bonds: "I sure did! Congratulations Alexis…You and Sonny are having twins!" She happily announced. Alexis: "Twins?" Dr. Bonds: "Twins!" She exclaimed showing Alexis where on the screen you could see it. When Alexis saw it tears began flowing down her cheeks of happiness.
