Endures Chapter 11 - Twice The Surprise Alexis had since her doctor's appointment a few days ago tried to figure out the perfect way to tell Sonny that she was pregnant. She didn't know whether to just tell him while they were in bed, or to make him a meal with the assistance of Grace of course. She'd finally decided to have Grace help her make some food so that she could tell Sonny. Grace: "I cannot believe that you're actually pregnant with twins!" She exclaimed, as she was helping Alexis set the table. Alexis: "That makes two of us! I was actually beginning to think that Michael and Kristina were the only children we would have but look at me now…I'm pregnant with twins!" Grace: "Some people say that when you don't obsess over it, it simply happens! I'm so happy for you Lexie - you're going to make a wonderful mother for the 3rd and 4th time. Where are Michael and Kristina today?" Alexis: "Michael is spending the night at a friend's house, and Kristina is over at Jason and Elizabeth's being spoiled rotten. What are you doing tonight?" Grace: "I'm just going to watch some videos, and then turn in early. I want a full update tomorrow, OK?" She asked, as she picked up her purse. Alexis: "I promise to tell you everything! Now…Dinner is ready to be served, this room has got the right atmosphere, so I just need to change, and then Sonny has to arrive, of course!" Grace: "When is he coming?" Alexis: "In 30 minutes…He had to drop both Michael and Kristina off before picking up the vintage Cabernet we've become addicted to at the 'No Name'. He'll probably suspect something when I decline the wine!" Grace: "Well…Mrs. Corinthos; you have a great evening with your husband, and don't worry about anything else but how to tell Sonny that he's going to be a father for the 3rd and 4th time!!" She laughed exiting PH4 after having hugged Alexis. Alexis: "Well…Little ones' it's about time I get dressed so that I can tell your father about the wonderful news I've got for him!" She smiled rubbing her stomach, while heading upstairs to change into something a little more comfortable than the suit she was presently wearing. 30 minutes later Alexis had showered, and changed into a pair of black pants, a light pink t-shirt, and a pair of black sandals, which she'd also worn when she and Sonny had participated in A.J. and Courtney's wedding reception. The reason for her choosing to be wearing this tonight was that several pieces of her other clothes had begun to sit a little tight on her, and she knew that Sonny would notice it sooner or later. Sonny: "Alexis!" He yelled from the doorway, as Alexis patted her stomach before making her way down to the livingroom. Sonny: "Hey…Are you OK?" He asked worried, after they'd kissed each other softly on the lips. Alexis: "Yeah…Why wouldn't I be?" She asked, not knowing where he was headed with the question. Sonny: "I tried calling you. What have you been doing?" He asked, leading her to the couch where he sat down, while Alexis sat down on the coffee table. Alexis: "I'm fine Sonny! I was just showering, and then I changed into this outfit. I'm fine - really!" She tried to assure her always-worried husband. Sonny: "You're positive that you're alright?" Alexis: "100 %! Now…Mr. Corinthos…Why don't you follow me lead, and go and shower and change too, and then I suspect that dinner will be ready when you're finished?" Sonny: "You cooked?" He asked displaying his dimples. Alexis: "What's that supposed to mean?" Sonny: "Sweetheart…You're a wonderful mother, a terrific lawyer, and an awesome friend, but you're not that domestic the last time I checked!" Alexis: "Just because I kinda burned the kitchen the first time doesn't mean that I can't learn. Besides I didn't cook alone, Grace was with me!" Sonny: "Then it should be eatable…" He joked, as Alexis grabbed a pillow off of the couch, and hit him with it, making Sonny fall back on the couch with Alexis in his embrace. Alexis: "I'll show you eatable!" Sonny: "Is that a promise?" He asked, covering her mouth with his, as they began kissing extremely passionately, which Alexis knew would only delay her telling Sonny her terrific news. Alexis: "We have to stop Sonny…" She replied, trying to talk around his mouth. Sonny: "Why?" He whined, as Alexis got up from the couch. Alexis: "Because…I want to remember tonight forever! Will you just humor me Sonny?" She begged, as she knew that if she didn't get him out of the livingroom fast, they'd soon end up making love. Not that anything would be wrong with that it just wasn't what she desired to do before telling him her news. Sonny: "Alright…Do you have some news or something?" Alexis: "Or something…" She smiled, as Sonny made it upstairs to shower and change. When Sonny descended the flight of stairs he was wearing a black suit along with a white shirt, and a black tie and black shoes. Alexis was lightening a couple of scented candles she'd placed on the mantel. Sonny: "Hey…" He replied, placing his arms around Alexis' waist, and nuzzled her neck, sliding his lips up and down the most delicate place on her. Alexis: "Hey yourself…You clean up good!" She exclaimed, as she turned around in Sonny's embrace being able to see how he looked. Sonny: "Thank you…You look beautiful too, Mrs. Corinthos! What did you want to talk to me about?" He asked curiously. Alexis: "After dinner!" She replied, leading him to the table where he helped her sitting down before sitting down opposite her. Sonny: "Grace did good work!" He smiled widely displaying his dimples once more. Alexis: "Real funny!" She smiled back at him, as they began eating the dinner she and Grace had prepared. An hour later Sonny and Alexis had finished their meal, and they were sitting on the couch where Alexis was about to tell him about her being pregnant but was interrupted by the phone ringing. Sonny: "Keep that thought, OK?" He asked going to answer the phone. Alexis: "You bet!" Sonny: "Yeah!" Caller: "Mr. Corinthos? This is Dr. Bonds assistant; Tracie - may I talk to your wife?" Sonny: "Sure! Hang on…Alexis? Tracie; Dr. Bonds assistant…" He replied pointing to the phone with his eyes not understanding why she'd want to talk to his wife. Alexis: "Oh! Thanks!" She replied taking the phone from Sonny, and put it up to her ear. Tracie: "Mrs. Corinthos? I'm so sorry to bother you at home but Dr. Bonds wanted you to know that your appointment had to be changed from Wednesday to Friday!" Alexis: "That's OK! So…It's this Friday?" She asked, as she began to scribble it down onto her day planner. Tracie: "It sure is! Sorry for the interruption!" She apologized, as they hung up, and Alexis turned to see a very interested Sonny Corinthos, and Alexis knew that he'd already figured it out - partly in the least. Sonny: "Is there something you want to tell me Alexis?" He asked, as they were standing in the middle of the livingroom. Alexis: "Sonny…I started having morning sickness a few weeks back so I went to the doctor." Sonny: "Dr. Bonds? Doesn't she work at 'Mercy'?" Alexis: "Yes, she does. I just didn't want Bobbie, Alan or Monica knowing that I suspected being pregnant if it turned out to just being a fluke." Sonny: "And?" Alexis: "Dr. Bonds then analyzed some blood, which showed that I am…We are…Pregnant!" She replied with teary eyes, as she took Sonny's hands, placing them on her stomach. Sonny: "We're…We're having a baby? How? I love you!" He replied kissing Alexis as hard as he humanly could on the lips, while Alexis threw her arms around Sonny's neck. Alexis: "Sonny? There's more…" She replied, as they stopped kissing. Sonny: "Nothing can make me more happy than I am right now Alexis. There's nothing wrong with you or the baby, right?" Alexis: "No, no, no…It's nothing like that! Because I'm in my early forties, Dr. Bonds needed to scan me due to new hospital regulations. She discovered that…" Sonny: "That what?" He asked immediately not wanting to loose this child too. Alexis: "Let's just say that when we go shopping for toys and clothes we have to get two of everything." Sonny: "Two of everything? Are you saying what I think you're saying?" Alexis: "That depends…If you think that I'm pregnant with twins then you'd be correct!" She smiled fully, as Sonny placed his hands around Alexis' neck, and kissed her first lightly on her upper lip, before capturing her lower lip in his mouth. Sonny: "Do you have any idea of how happy you've made me? Not only were you able to make a family with Michael and me, but you also allowed me to have a great part in both Kristina and your lives. And now you're giving me two more children at the same time!" He exclaimed with teary eyes. Alexis: "That doesn't even compare to the love you've given me these past couple of years! We were meant to be Sonny, and I think that this little surprise is just one of many in the years to come!" She smiled, as Sonny bended, lifted Alexis' t-shirt up, before giving her stomach a tender but also promising kiss of love and security.
