The
Miracle Chapter 11 - Between Life & Death A few weeks had passed since the last time Alexis had seen Sonny, and she was actually becoming a little worried. She knew that he was very capable of taking care of himself, but still she couldn't shake the feeling that something was very wrong. Grace was sitting with Kristina on her lap watching the 6 o'clock news, as Alexis was on the phone with a new client of hers. Suddenly the anchor in the studio exclaimed Anchor: "We've just gotten word that a shoot out has occurred in front of the 'Port Charles Hotel'. Sources are telling us that the notorious Sonny Corinthos is involved!" Alexis immediately hung up on her client, and hurried to the couch. Grace: "I'm sure he's all right, Lexie!" She tried to assure her nervous friend, as Alexis took Kristina into her arms. Anchor: "We now know for sure that the notorious Faith Roscoe, and Sonny Corinthos have had a turf war right outside the 'Port Charles Hotel'. The widower Faith Roscoe only suffered a few scratches, however Sonny Corinthos has been taken to the hospital for further examinations!" Alexis squeezed Kristina into her embrace, not being able to believe what the anchor had said. Grace: "OK, let's think about this Alexis. She only said that he'd been taken to the hospital for further examinations. Besides it's Carly's job to take care of him, you're not his wife remember?" Alexis: "I can't just sit around, and do nothing!" She replied, as she walked around the apartment with Kristina in her arms. Grace: "So what do you want to do? You can't be saying that you actually want to go to the hospital? Alexis, Carly is probably down there throwing a fit, and the last thing you want is for Kristina to watch her mother having a fit!" Alexis: "Who says I'm going to have a fit?" Grace: "This is Carly Corinthos we're talking about here. OK - if you insist on going then I'm going too." Alexis: "Thanks!" She smiled at her friend, as she made it into the nursery to dress Kristina in some more warm clothes. An hour later Alexis and Grace arrived at 'General Hospital' with Kristina lying in her baby carriage sleeping. Alexis immediately spotted Monica, and knew somehow that she'd know about Sonny. Alexis: "Will you excuse me? I'm going to ask Monica about Sonny!" Grace: "Sure!" She replied, as she strolled the baby carriage to stand next to some chairs, in which she took a seat. Alexis: "Monica? How is Sonny?" She immediately asked. Monica: "Alexis? Hi! How is Kristina?" Alexis: "She's fine! Sonny was brought in here. How is he?" Monica: "He's OK considering!" Alexis: "Considering what?" She asked, as a cold shiver went through her body. Monica: "Sonny had multiple gunshot wounds to his chest, and he's a very lucky man to even be alive right now. If only it hadn't…" She stopped in mid sentence making Alexis curious. Alexis: "If only it hadn't what?" Monica: "Alexis…Sonny was trying to protect someone when he got those gunshot wounds to his chest. Apparently Sonny has divorced Carly, and it's been official on paper for some days, and Carly went to him at 'The Port Charles Hotel' where Faith Roscoe was waiting to take him down." Alexis: "Don't tell me that…" Monica: "Carly died! Bobbie has taken Michael with her to the cafeteria, but to tell a little child something like this can't be easy on Bobbie." Alexis: "I can't believe that Carly's actually dead? It just seems so unreal!" Monica: "I know…Look if you want to see Sonny, and maybe sit with him, and try and talk to him it could help - it's known to have in other cases. He's in room 325." Alexis: "OK! Thanks Monica!" She thanked her, as they went their separate ways. Grace: "So? How is Sonny?" She asked, as Alexis sat down next to her shocked. Alexis: "Carly's dead!" Grace: "Come again!" She exclaimed, thinking she'd heard wrong the first time. Alexis: "Carly was at the hotel with Sonny, and when shots were fired Sonny tried his best to save her, but Carly didn't survive." Grace: "I don't believe this! What is it you aren't telling me?" She asked, sensing that Alexis was holding something back. Alexis: "Monica said that, that Sonny and Carly were divorced! He apparently divorced her for real this time!" Grace: "Why don't you go and talk to him? I read that unconscious people can hear the people around them, and maybe you can tell him that he needs to come back for Michael!" She replied, as Alexis nodded, and made her way to room 325. When Alexis entered the room a nurse was checking on Sonny's vitals. He was hooked up to several machines, which helped him to breathe. He had a tube in his mouth, held in place by a piece of tape. Nurse: "You can sit with your husband for a few minutes Mrs. Corinthos!" She replied, as she made her way out of the room. Alexis: "Mrs. Corinthos? I'm not…" She tried to explain to the nurse, but it was too late she was already gone. Alexis took off her black, leather jacket and placed it on a nearby chair, as she sat on the edge of the bed Sonny was lying in, and took his limp hand into her warm one. Alexis: "God! This feels like total déjà vu, doesn't it? Back then you saved my life, and ended up in this bed. And now…Well we don't need to dwell on that. You know? As mad as I've been with you, I don't want you lying in this hospital bed all helpless, and that's why you've got to fight Sonny! Become that boy from Brooklyn, who escaped his stepfather, and made a new life for himself in Port Charles. Michael needs you because sooner or later he'll ask about you, and I don't want Bobbie or Leticia telling him that he doesn't have a mommy or a daddy anymore. Don't let A.J. win Sonny - fight! You have a lot more to fight for than you realize. Not only do you have Michael, but you also have Kristina! I guess I'm feeling secure enough to tell you this now when you're lying in an unconscious state, but I think that you've always had a feeling that she was yours. Ned is extremely close to driving me insane. He's just so different from the man I remember being engaged to…" Nurse: "Mrs. Corinthos? It's time to leave!" She explained, and ducked out of the room before Alexis could rectify her again. Alexis: "Did you hear that? Mrs. Corinthos! Sonny? You're the strongest person I've ever met. Besides if you can survive my coffee making you can also survive this. When I was delivering Kristina, Ned actually told me something useful; he said that I should put all my anger in my pushing. And that's what I want you to do; put all your anger concerning your mother, Carly, Hannah, Courtney, A.J. everything you've ever felt as injustice put that in the horizon, and make sure you come back for Michael if no one else. He's counting on you Sonny, just like the rest of us." She replied, as she noticed a picture, which Grace had taken of her sitting on the couch with Kristina at her apartment laying on the floor. Alexis bent down to pick up the picture, and placed it on the table next to Sonny's bed. Alexis: "I'll leave this with you Sonny. The proof that you do deserve a child; a daughter nonetheless. But for you to be the kind of father you want to be you've got to fight!" Grace: "Hey…It's getting pretty late. Are you ready to leave?" She asked, looking in on Sonny and Alexis. Alexis: "Yeah…I'll be there in a few minutes!" She replied, as Grace retreated to the waiting area. Alexis placed her jacket over her shoulders, and went to Sonny, and bent her head, giving him a whisper soft kiss on the forehead saying softly, before exiting the room. Alexis:
"Fight!" When
I first saw ya, I already knew I
look at you, looking at me Chorus: What
you mean to me you'll never know Nothing
means more to me than all we share (Chorus) Ooh, angel, ooooh, angel I
never knew I could feel each moment, as if it were new When
I first saw ya I already knew You
came into my life, sent from above What
you mean to me you'll never know (Eternal - The Best)
