A
few weeks later Alexis had had the benign lump removed, and was
now thriving carrying the lovechild of her and Sonny. Right now
they were having lunch at ‘The Grille’, and afterwards
they were going to their very first ultrasound. The day after their
night together they’d told Michael about how Alexis would become
Sonny’s wife, and that Michael would have a little brother
or sister running around in a few months. Michael had been so happy
saying that if Sonny and Alexis were happy then so was he.
Sonny: “When is it Candy Boy and Skye are getting married again?”
He asked letting Alexis know that he didn’t really feel like
going.
Alexis: “It’s still September 26th – if you don’t
want to go then just say so! I’m sure that I can get Zander
to escort me…” She replied knowing exactly which buttons
to push.
Sonny: “I’ll go alright! But it’s not like I’ll
have anything in common with the people, who are going…?”
Alexis: “That’s ridiculous! Ned and Kristina are also
going, and you’ve got tons in common with them…”
Sonny: “Such as?” He asked raising his eyebrow.
Alexis: “Well…You, Ned and Jax are all handsome business
men…” She smiled wickedly.
Sonny: “Don’t think that I don’t know what you’re
up to, missy!”
Alexis: “Who me?” She asked innocently.
Sonny: “You don’t want to be forgotten by your friends
so I’ll have to be dragged to this wedding…”
Alexis: “Jax is a very dear friend of mine, and seeing as how
much he’s been through I only see it fitting that I go! And
I’d like to see John and Lady Jane again too…”
Sonny: “And I bet they’ll be ecstatic over me being the
father of your baby…”
Alexis: “They will! They’re really not as bad as many
people make them out to be – just like you’re nothing
like the rumors that are going around.”
Sonny: “Fine! I’ll go alright…”
Alexis: “Good…Thanks!” She exclaimed caressing his
hand softly.
Sonny: “You’re feeling OK?” He asked looking worried.
Alexis: “Yeah, why?”
Sonny: “It hasn’t been that long since your operation,
and we’re going to see the ultrasound today – you must
be exhausted?”
Alexis: “I’m fine Sonny – really I am! I can’t
wait to see our little boy or girl! What could be wrong?”
Sonny: “You’ve been tossing and turning a lot lately!”
Alexis: “If you must know then yesterday was the anniversary
of my mother’s death!”
Sonny: “And you didn’t tell me?”
Alexis: “I didn’t want to bother you…”
Sonny: “Bother me? For the next 70 years you’re supposed
to ‘bother’ me, OK? Let’s promise each other something,
OK?”
Alexis: “Like what?”
Sonny: “Let’s promise each other that no matter what happens
we’ll always be honest with each other, and that nothing we
have to say to each other should be brushed off like ‘nothing’?”
Alexis: “Deal!” She exclaimed, as they raised their glasses
and toasted to their future marriage.
Sonny: “Talking about marriage…” He replied placing
his glass on the table.
Alexis: “Yes?” She replied placing her glass on the table
too before eating a little pasta.
Sonny: ”Have you thought about guests, bride maids and who
that’s going to give you away?”
Alexis: “A little…I’d like Ned, Kristina, Jax, Skye,
Felicia, Mike, Michael, Jason, Elizabeth, Courtney and Zander to
attend.”
Sonny: “Agreed!”
Alexis: “And I’d like for Kristina, Elizabeth, Courtney
and Skye to be my bride maids.”
Sonny: “Skye? Do you even like her?”
Alexis: “I’ve begun to see why she acts the way she does,
and she’ll be Jax’s wife by that time so I thought it
would only be right!”
Sonny: “OK! How about the person, who’s going to give
you away?”
Alexis: “I was thinking about…Mike!” She exclaimed
knowing that Sonny would have a hard time with his father attending
their wedding.
Sonny: “Mike? Why?”
Alexis: “I know that it would be hard for you to see him, OK?
But if Michael’s going to be the ring bearer, and Jason will
be your best man then I think it’s only fitting if Mike should
give me away!”
Sonny: “How about Jax or Ned? Anyone but Mike!”
Alexis: “Please…You need to start to be able to forgive
Mike or in the least give him a break, OK? He’s about to become
a Grandparent!”
Sonny: “OK! Mike it is!” He exclaimed taking Alexis’
hand up to his lips, and kissing it tenderly.
Alexis: “I want this baby to have the kind of family that neither
one of us ever had. I’d always look at other peoples families,
and I always promised myself that my children would always know
that they were loved and cared for.”
Sonny: “I’ll try to get along with Mike, OK?”
Alexis: “Good…And who knows? Maybe someday you’ll
be able to call him ‘dad’?”
Sonny: “Don’t push it!” He half-jokingly replied.
Alexis: “Alright – I’ll stop…” She replied,
as they got up to pay their bill, and to make their appointment
at ‘General Hospital’ with Dr. Meadows.
A little while later Sonny and Alexis were in the exam room waiting
for Dr. Meadows to start the ultrasound machine so that Sonny and
Alexis could see their little miracle for the first time.
Dr. Meadows: “How are you doing today Ms. Davis?”
Alexis: “Anxious!” She exclaimed.
Dr. Meadows: “I completely understand – the first time
is always amazing! I see that you’ve changed into the gown
so why don’t you just get on up on the examination couch so
that we can get that anxiety out of the way, huh?”
Alexis: “Sounds good to me…” She replied lying down
on the examination couch, as Dr. Meadows lifted her gown up so that
it covered her from the top of her belly and up. The doctor then
proceeded to pour some gel over her stomach so that the machine
could detect the baby.
Dr. Meadows: “Alright…Here it goes!” She exclaimed,
and a little while later Sonny caught Alexis’ hand in his,
as they watched a small form becoming visible on the small screen.
Sonny: “Is that? Our baby?”
Dr. Meadows: “It sure is!” She exclaimed amazed that a
man with Sonny’s reputation could be so moved by an ultrasound
but after what both he and Alexis had been through she wasn’t
surprised.
Alexis: “I can’t believe that this is the baby that’s
growing inside of me – that’s something that we’ve
created!” She replied with teary eyes looking at Sonny, who
looked back at her with tears in his eyes too.
Dr. Meadows: “The heartbeat is great, and everything seems
to be OK! How about the baby’s sex? Would you like to know
that?” She asked drawing surprised looks from Sonny and Alexis.
Alexis: “What do you say?”
Sonny: “It sure would make it easier to chose clothes and nursery
stuff!”
Dr. Meadows: “Is that a yes then?”
Sonny & Alexis In Unison: “YES!”
Dr. Meadows: “You are looking at your little girl…”
Alexis: “Oh my God!”
Sonny: “A little girl? Just what we’ve wished for baby…”
He laughed kissing Alexis on the head.
Alexis: “A little girl? Oh my God! Just think that in a couple
of months this shape on the screen will be very lifelike.”
Dr. Meadows: “Would you like for me to print some pictures
out of this little girl?”
Alexis: “Yes, absolutely!”
Sonny: “Thank you Dr.”
Dr. Meadows: “No problem…” She replied leaving Sonny
and Alexis alone for a minute.
Sonny: “We will have a little girl soon…”
Alexis: “She’ll be the new beginning for us and Michael
– I love you…” She replied, as she turned around
to face Sonny before their lips made contact.
"Angel of Mine" performed by Eternal
When I first saw ya, I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought I'd never find
Angel of mine
I look at you, looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
Gonna love you till the end of time
Angel of mine
Chorus:
What you mean to me you'll never know
Deep inside I need to show
You came into my life sent from above
Better than a dream, such a perfect love
And I'll adore you till the end of time
Angel of mine
Nothing means more to me than all we share
No one in this whole world can ever compare
Last night awake your move is still on my mind
Angel, angel of mine
(Chorus)
I never knew I could feel each moment, as if it were new
Every breath I take, or vow that I make
I wanna share it with you
When I first saw ya I already knew
There was something inside of you
Something I thought I'd never find
Angel of mine
You came into my life, sent from above
Better than a dream of such perfect love (a perfect love)
And I'll adore you till the end of time
Angel of mine
What you mean to me you'll never know
Deep inside, I need to show
I look at you, looking at me
Now I know why they say the best things are free
Gonna love you till the end of time
Angel of mine
