Sonny
had insisted on him and Alexis to spend practically every available
moment together ever since Sonny had found Alexis on the bluff in
the rain. However today he was taking care of his divorce from Carly
so that by the end of today he’d be a free man, which would
work perfectly with the plans he had for Alexis. In the meantime
Alexis was in her penthouse awaiting the most important call of
her life. Monica had told her that the results of her biopsy would
be ready sometime today. She was trying to forget about that phone
call by keeping herself busy with legal work.
Kristina: “Hey…” She replied coming through the door.
Alexis: “Hey yourself…” She replied leaving her work
for a minute.
Kristina: “Isn’t today the day when you get the biopsy
results?” She asked her sister.
Alexis: “Yeah, why?” She asked getting back to her legal
work.
Kristina: “After everything that you and Sonny have been through,
you’d think that the man would be by your side the day the
call comes in?” She asked making Alexis drop her legal work
before standing up and facing her sister.
Alexis: “Sonny needed to finalize his divorce from Carly, which
I told him to do. Furthermore Sonny didn’t know that the call
came in today because Monica only told me yesterday, and if you
remember I spent yesterday with you, Ned and Jax.”
Kristina: “Oh yeah, sorry…How is that divorce coming?”
Alexis: “I wouldn’t know because Sonny has retained Robert
Schaefer to take care of his divorce from Carly since I’m what
you might call in a conflict of interest concerning this divorce.”
Kristina: “Because you’re involved with Sonny! Have you
and Sonny told Michael?”
Alexis: “Michael knows about his parents divorce if that’s
what you mean?”
Kristina: “No, does Michael know about you and Sonny?”
Alexis: “Not yet! It’s not something that you just blurt
out. We’re going to allow Michael to get used to me being around
first, and then we’ll talk to him about Sonny and me…”
Kristina: “Have you and Sonny talked about marriage yet?”
Alexis: “What?” She asked eying her sister skeptically.
Kristina: “I know that you don’t exactly have a good relationship
with the ‘M’ word but Sonny will ultimately ask you to
marry him – then what?”
Alexis: “I think that we’ve got more important things
to worry about than a future marriage. Besides…I don’t
think that he’ll be all that thrilled with entering a marriage
with me.”
Kristina: “Why would you say that?”
Alexis: “Because…Because of his past with Lily, Brenda
and Carly – women he all married or almost married, and all
of those relationships didn’t exactly have a happy ending.”
Kristina: “But you and Sonny are going to be parents in some
months – the topic must have come up…”
Alexis: “It has!”
Kristina: “Has Sonny popped the question?”
Alexis: “We talked about it, and…”
Kristina: “And what?” She asked making Alexis go back
in time, and explain to her sister what had gone on the other day
in Sonny’s penthouse.
*** FLASHBACK ***
Sonny and Alexis had been sitting at the dining table having an
Italian dish that Sonny had been behind once he’d asked her
about the ‘M’ word. Alexis had just brought her wineglass
up to her lips when he’d asked
Sonny: “How do you feel these days about marriage?”
Alexis: “What?!” She exclaimed almost spilling the wine
all over her shirt.
Sonny: “Marriage? You know the thing that you almost did with
Ned, but then ran out of the church and flagged down a semi?”
Alexis: “I remember what happened Sonny – I just don’t
get why you’re suddenly concerned about my almost marriage
to Ned.”
Sonny: “It’s not your marriage to Ned that concerns me
– it’s the topic itself: marriage. After everything that
we’ve been through lately I think that we need to make a lifelong
promise to each other.”
Alexis: “Without even knowing the results?” She asked
referring to the biopsy.
Sonny: “I love you Alexis Davis with or without cancer. It
really doesn’t make one bit of a difference to me if we get
married now or later, I just need to know if you’re interested…”
Alexis: “In marrying you?” She asked lifting her left
eyebrow.
Sonny: “Yeah – or is the prospect of marrying me so awful?”
Alexis: “Of course not! You just caught me off guard that’s
all! I just want all of this craziness to be done with once we promise
to spend the rest of our lives together.”
Sonny: “What would you like your wedding day to be like?”
Alexis: “I don’t know…I don’t want a big wedding,
but just a few close friends and immediate family to join the celebration,
and maybe…On a beach? Or in a small chapel? I don’t know…I
just know that I don’t want half of Port Charles to appear.”
Sonny: “Then that’s what we’ll have…” He
replied leaving the room to make an important phone call.
Alexis: “Sonny? Where are you going?” She asked once he’d
left the room making her wonder if she’d just made the biggest
mistake of her life by telling him her dream wedding scenario, because
now she’d come face to face with her dream wedding and dream
guy – what a scary thought.
*** FLASHBACK ***
Kristina: “And then what?”
Alexis: “Then: nothing! He came back 15 minutes later, and
just said that it would be taken care of, and this was days ago.
I must say that I’m pretty excited, and scared silly of what’ll
happen in the next couple of days.”
Kristina: “Yeah…Well if Sonny is a free man by the end
of today then he could be whisking you off to a remote island by
midnight…?” She replied smiling.
Suddenly the phone rang making both Alexis and Kristina look at
the shrilling instrument with both anxiety and calmness. Anxiety
– because the end result of that phone call would tell Alexis
what kind of life she’d be leading next. Calmness – because
she was prepared for anything with Sonny by her side. Alexis walked
slowly to her desk where she picked up the phone saying
Alexis: “Alexis Davis?”
Caller: “Alexis? This is Monica Quartermaine – I’ve
got the results of your biopsy!” She replied making small butterflies
fly around in Alexis’ stomach.
Alexis: “Let’s hear it!” She exclaimed, closing her
eyes before inhaling and exhaling once before concentrating on what
Monica was about to say.
Monica: “All of the doctors agree on the results, and they
are that…It’s a benign lump!”
Alexis: “Oh…Thank God!” She exclaimed with tears
in her eyes making Kristina, who was standing next to Alexis with
crossed arms very curious.
Monica: “You’ll have to come in, and have the lump surgically
removed but other than that you’re in perfect health, and so
is your baby!”
Alexis: “Thank God!” She exclaimed.
Monica: “I wanted to give you this news myself! Congratulations!”
Alexis: “Thank you Monica!” She replied before the two
women hung up.
Kristina: “So?” She asked curiously.
Alexis: “It’s benign!”
Kristina: “Good…” She replied hugging her sister
tightly, as there was a knock on the door, which Alexis went to
answer.
Jax: “Has Monica called yet?” He asked, as he and Ned
entered the penthouse before Alexis shut the door close.
Alexis: “Yeah, she just called!”
Ned: “And?”
Alexis: “The lump is…Benign!” She exclaimed enjoying
the happy faces on Ned and Jax.
Ned: “I am so happy for you Alexis!” He exclaimed hugging
her tightly.
Jax: “And so am I, Lex!” He exclaimed, as Alexis enjoyed
being so loved.
Kristina: “I think that this calls for a celebration!”
Alexis: “I’m all for that!”
Jax: “What kind of celebration?”
Kristina: “A party? I’m sure that if our ‘Natasha’
calls Luke she can get ‘Luke’s’ for the evening where
we’re going to dance, sing and celebrate our favorite ‘mouthpiece’
being well along with her baby.”
Alexis: “That’s just fine with me!” She exclaimed
glowing, as a pregnant woman should.
Jax: “Well…As everyone here knows then I hate to admit
that I’ve been wrong, but apparently I have been wrong about
Sonny. I wish you guys all the best!”
Alexis: “Thanks Jax! I know that that took a lot out of you.
I know that you’ll never stop blaming Sonny for Brenda’s
death, but I do hope that you can function with him?”
Jax: “For you? Absolutely!” He smiled hugging his friend
close.
"That's How Love Moves" performed by Faith Hill
It's such a mystery
How you found something in me
That I never knew was there
But you uncovered it so easily
You turned me like a season
And I began to change
You wrapped your arms around me
Now I'll never be the same 'cause
Chorus:
That's how love works
That's how love moves
Like a river running through you
Sometimes it lifts you high as heaven
It consumes you
That's a given
That's how love moves
I've seen walls that could never be broken
Come tumbling down
I've heard the voice of a love calling
Without making a sound
See I was touched by an angel
The day you took my hand
And you know you're the miracle
That makes me everything I am, but
(Chorus)
Sometimes it's just a whisper
Sometimes it's a storm
Sometimes it reaches forever
With its everlasting arms
