Love
Endures Chapter 12 - 9 Months Later Alexis' due date had passed, and Sonny was driving her completely crazy. All the things she discussed with Ned he'd do if he'd known about Kristina's true paternity, he'd done to her with the twins. He didn't allow her to stand up for more than 2 minutes, he'd almost forbidden her to work and last but certainly not least he'd asked Johnny, who was her current personal bodyguard to tell him who Alexis met or talked to. Christmas had just passed by, and Sonny and Alexis were to attend a New Years Eve Party tonight at the 'Grille', which Alexis had been forced to twist Sonny's arm into attending. Alexis was currently on the phone with a client of hers, while Sonny was upstairs with Michael and Kristina finishing the last touches in the nursery, as Alexis had been forbidden to enter. The kids and Sonny wanted it to be a surprise for the expectant mother. Alexis: "I completely understand your concerns Mr. Brinkley but this is the easiest way for each party concerned. I know that you don't want your children to hurt anymore, and this is the way I'd advice you to go about this divorce." Mr. Brinkley: "Very well Mrs. Corinthos…I trust you so go ahead with it." Alexis: "OK! Goodbye!" She replied hanging up, as Sonny, Michael and Kristina descended the stairs. Sonny: "So…Did you finish your work?" He asked, as the kids made their way into the kitchen to Marie. Alexis: "Yes I did! Now everything should be able to proceed fine while I'm giving birth." Sonny: "I don't even understand why you're still working? You're extremely close to your due date so it just isn't wise." Alexis: "I'm perfectly competent in knowing how far I should push myself. Besides…I'm only talking to clients over the phone. There's no stress involved!" Sonny: "Let's just change the subject, alright?" Alexis: "Fine with me!" She smiled, as Sonny led her to the couch where they sat down opposite each other. Sonny: "I don't mean to be this controlling! You do know that it's just because I'm worried about you, and our children." He replied placing his hands on her stomach. Alexis: "I know that. But there's a thing as being too controlling! I've been very careful in this pregnancy because I know because I'm 40 that I'm in the danger zone. If you're not careful you're going to DRIVE US ALL CRAZY!!" She exclaimed, as the babies kicked, and Sonny got an startled expression on his face. Sonny: "I think we've got some future football players in here!" He replied smiling. Alexis: "I don't know where you've got this notion of these two babies being boys, but you seem pretty sure!" Sonny: "Listen…The doctor said that either way was possible. And since we already have Kristina, then I should think that at least one of these miracles would be boys." Alexis: "You're full of it!" She laughed, as Michael and Kristina joined Sonny and Alexis on the couch. Michael: "What are you doing?" He asked, as Sonny placed both of them onto his lap. Alexis: "We were just discussing the babies sweetheart…" She replied stroking his cheek. Kristina: "What about them?" Sonny: "Well…I'm sure that we're having boys, but your mother doesn't!" Kristina: "How will you know?" Michael: "Duh Krissy…" He teased his sister, as Sonny berated him. Sonny: "Michael! Remember what we agreed on: no picking on people younger than you! Your sister's too little to know." Kristina: "Know what daddy?" She asked looking up at him with her hazel brown eyes. Sonny: "Well…When mommy has given birth the doctor will be able to tell because boys and girls are different!" Kristina: "Why?" She continued asking, as a normal 4-year-old child. Alexis: "Yes; why 'oh wise one'?" She asked kidding, as she knew how a tough time Sonny had had in explaining this to Michael once. Sonny: "Because…We're all different. Just look at me and your uncle Jax or mommy and auntie Grace. We don't look alike because it would be pretty dull if we did!" Kristina: "Oh! When are they coming mommy?" Alexis: "It won't take much longer now sweetheart. Hey…Why don't you go with me upstairs because I've got to change for the party tonight?" Kristina: "OK!" She replied, as Alexis and Kristina went hand in hand upstairs to the bedroom. Sonny: "Come on…Let's see if we can snatch some candy away from the kitchen without Marie noticing it!" He exclaimed, as the two 'men' made their way into the kitchen. When
Sonny and Alexis entered the 'Grille', Sonny was looking devastatingly
handsome in a tailored suit, while Alexis looked equally beautiful
in the dress she'd worn on New Years in 2001/2002. Alexis: "I look like a whale dressed in an Armani original…" She whispered because Sonny had gotten an associate of his to make the dress fit a very pregnant woman. And since Alexis was well overdue with twins she'd be described as a very pregnant woman. Sonny: "You look just as beautiful in this now, as you did years back!" Alexis: "And that's why you had it enlarged, right?" She asked, as a waiter took her jacket. Sonny: "No, I had it enlarged because you've always loved that dress." He replied, knowing that she was only snapping at him because of the hormones she was carrying around right now. Jax: "Hi you guys…Alexis you look beautiful!" Alexis: "Thanks! Will you excuse me?" She asked, as she made her way to the bar to get a glass of water. Jax: "Sonny? What are you doing here? Isn't she just about to give birth?" Sonny: "Jax…I'm with you but Alexis was very insisting about being here tonight. She'd been in that penthouse for ages now, and the doctors have said that if she doesn't give birth before tomorrow then they're going to do it themselves. If something should happen tonight 'General Hospital' isn't that far away." Jax: "I guess you're right! I just keep on thinking about when she was pregnant with Kristina, and how she and Ned were practically connected to the 'NICU' via " He replied joining Skye at their table again. Sonny hadn't been too into the idea of going to this party tonight either but since Alexis was a woman, who didn't back down there hadn't been much he could do to change her mind. Sonny walked to the bar where Alexis was drinking her glass of water, and asked Alexis showing off his dimples Sonny: "May I have this dance Mrs. Corinthos?" Alexis: "You certainly may Mr. Corinthos!" She exclaimed, sitting the glass back onto the bar, while simply smiling, following Sonny out onto the dance floor. Sonny: "You do look beautiful, and I know that you're worried about the fact that you haven't given birth yet, but everything will be just fine!" Alexis: "Yeah…That's easy for you to say!" She giggled, as they danced to the voice of LeAnn Rimes singing "I Need You". "I Need You" performed by LeAnn Rimes I don't
need a lot of things Chorus: I need
you like water You're
the hope that moves me (Chorus X 2) (LeAnn Rimes - I Need You) As the tunes of the music began to fade away Sonny looked into Alexis' eyes, and replied very softly and heartfelt Sonny: "I'm going to be with you all the way so don't worry about anything, OK? I've got you!" Alexis: "I love you!" She exclaimed, as she threw her arms around Sonny's neck, and their lips met in a passionate kiss. Sonny: "Should we head on home? I think you need to go to bed - you look pretty tired!" Alexis: "Sonny…" She replied feeling a little uncomfortable. Sonny: "I know what you're going to say: stop being such a control freak, but I can't…" Alexis: "SONNY! I need you to take me to the hospital! My water just broke!" She hissed, as Jax and Skye helped Alexis into Sonny's limo before they followed them to 'General Hospital' to see the product of Sonny and Alexis' love be born.
