Chapter
13 - Sonny & Alexis' Reconciliation
When
Alexis stepped through the door with Kristina in her embrace both
Sonny and Grace turned their heads. Alexis knew that whatever had
happened between Sonny and Grace it couldn't have been good.
Grace:
"Why don't I take her while you talk to your ex - client?"
She offered, as she took Kristina into her embrace, and went into
the nursery with her.
Alexis:
"Sonny
It's good to see that you're OK!" She replied,
taking off her jacket, and placing it on the chair next to her desk.
Sonny:
"That's all you've got to say? You come walking in with our
daughter in your embrace, and all you've got to say is 'Sonny
It's
good to see that you're OK!'?" He asked angrily.
Alexis:
"Our daughter? Who told you that?" She asked worriedly.
Sonny:
"That doesn't matter, but what does matter is that you kept
something like this from me for such a long time! What were you
thinking?"
Alexis:
"That I needed to protect Kristina from you. Sonny
You
can't protect her. And I won't have her guarded by an army of bodyguards
every, single day for the rest of her life. I won't put her through
that!"
Sonny: "I'd protect her with my life as the stake. She's just
as much a part of me, as she is a part of you. Why did you say that
Ned was the father?"
Alexis:
"I never said that! Ned came in this room, and he did what
he thought was right at the time. He didn't want you taking control
over a child I don't want anyone but me raising!"
Sonny:
"I won't be separated from another child Alexis! Don't you
understand? I've always thought that I didn't deserve to have a
child, little own a girl! I mean a 'daddy's girl'. How wild would
that be?" He smiled proudly.
Alexis:
"But it can't happen Sonny. She'd be in danger from the second
your enemies got word that you had a daughter. Either she'd be kidnapped
or someone would make threats on her life, and I can't risk that.
So please
Just pretend that you didn't listen to anything Grace
or whoever told you said!"
Sonny:
"I'm not going to abandon my child because of what her
mother thinks is the right thing!"
Alexis:
"It's the right thing for everyone involved. Can you honestly
stand there, and assure me that nothing will happen when for instance
Faith Roscoe finds out about Kristina? I can't take that chance
with my child, and I'll fight you until the end!" She promised,
going to the mantel where she softly stroked the frame, which contained
a picture of her and Kristina during Christmas at 'General Hospital'.
Sonny:
"Was that why you slept with Ned at Brenda's old cottage? To
make our daughter's life safer? You ruined your own sister's life
for your child's survival!"
Alexis: "A: I'm NOT your wife so don't you dare treat
me like some possession you only need for special occasions, and
B: I NEVER SLEPT WITH NED AT BRENDA'S OLD COTTAGE!!" She exploded
in rage upon hearing Sonny accuse her of something that horrible.
Sonny:
"Don't lie to me! I saw you two; you were lying close at the
fireplace!"
Alexis:
"How the hell would you know that? Were you spying on us? Besides
what concern would that be of yours? You were back with your 'oh-so-innocent'
wife!"
Sonny:
"When Kristina began to worry about you I sent Jason out to
find you, and he found your car near Brenda's cottage so I went
thinking that you were alone but when I looked in I saw you in Ned's
arms."
Alexis:
"You're truly unbelievable you are?"
Sonny:
"WHAT?"
Alexis:
"You've gone on and on about Carly being the only woman for
you, and how you'd never betray someone you care about! Yet; you
can't stand me being with someone else."
Sonny:
"MAYBE THAT'S BECAUSE I LOVE YOU DAMMIT!!" He suddenly
exclaimed, almost making Alexis dizzy.
Alexis:
"What did you just say?" She asked, nearing him slowly,
and stopping when their faces were nothing more than 10 centimeter's
apart.
Sonny:
"I know it's somewhat late to tell you this but ever since
I got back with Carly something has been missing."
Alexis:
"Missing? Your mind, perhaps?" She uttered the last part
of the sentence under her breath, but Sonny catched it.
Sonny:
"I think so; yes. I don't just want to become a part of Kristina's
life. I want to become a part of yours too. Come here!" He
asked, as he led her to the couch, where Alexis sat down, and Sonny
got down on one knee.
Alexis:
"What are you doing?" She asked frantically, remembering
how her last wedding had ended.
Sonny:
"What does it look like I'm doing sweetheart?" He asked,
as he placed his hand in his pocket, and retrieved a black box,
which strangely enough resembled a ring box.
Alexis:
"What's that?" She asked, feeling a bit light headed.
Sonny:
"Alexis Davis
When you came charging into my life something
happened. We both found something we'd been looking for our entire
lives. I took us two years before we got to experience our special
connection - will you be my wife Alexis?" He asked, as he retrieved
the ring from the box; the ring was a simple silver ring with a
shapely diamond on top, which had been parted down the middle and
gathered together again by a weaved string of gold. Furthermore
the last part of his proposal he'd said with such tenderness in
his voice, and such sincerity in his heart that Alexis thought she
was in the same room as Humphrey Bogart.
Alexis:
"Sonny? Are you sure?" She asked still unsure where Sonny
was concerned.
Sonny:
"I've never been more sure about anything else in my entire
life. Please say that you'll make my world complete by letting me
slide this ring onto your finger, and by us sharing our daughter,
and our lives together forever and ever?" He asked with tears
in his eyes.
Alexis:
"Da!" She exclaimed, making Sonny frown.
Sonny:
"Come again
" He asked nervously.
Alexis:
"Frowning makes wrinkles. 'Da' is Russian for
YES!"
She smiled with teary eyes, as Sonny smiled his dimpled smile, and
slid the beautiful ring onto Alexis' ring finger, before Alexis
stood up together with Sonny, and they kissed passionately until
a certain nosy Ms. Robertson cleared her throat making Sonny and
Alexis part.
Grace:
"I guess this means that I'll have to start being nice to Sonny
now?" She asked smiling, as she hugged Alexis tightly before
hugging Sonny as well.
Alexis:
"Is Kristina awake?"
Grace:
"No, she finally calmed down after all the yelling stopped.
But I'm sure Sonny can wait to see her for a couple of hours? I'm
going to head into town, and do some shopping. I'm sure you two
can handle this on your own!" She smiled, exiting the apartment.
Sonny:
"I sure can!" He replied, bending down, and picking Alexis
up from the floor.
Alexis:
"I'm guessing directions to the bedroom would be in order at
this time?"
Sonny:
"Kinda!" He exclaimed, as they softly kissed, and Alexis
pointed at a door.
When
they arrived in Alexis' bedroom they looked intensely into each
other's eyes before Alexis' fingertips traveled to Sonny's shirt
buttons, which she popped open one by one. She then continued sliding
the shirt off of his tanned body. Sonny repeated the action to Alexis'
leopard shirt, and discarded with it before sliding the zipper of
her brown skirt downwards until Alexis could step out of it. Alexis'
fingertips traveled to the zipper on Sonny's pants, and unzipped
them until he too could step out of them.
The
rest of the afternoon was reserved for Sonny showing Alexis just
how much he'd missed her all of these numerous months they'd been
apart. Alexis couldn't remember anything that had made her feel
so at peace, as being with Sonny made her feel. As they continued
to please each other the stereo in Alexis' bedroom began playing
"Beautiful" as performed by Faith Hill.
"Beautiful"
performed by Faith Hill
I
love the way you stand in my way
You won't move 'til you get a kiss
And how you tell me that my name
Tastes so sweet on your lips
I love the way you hold me with your eyes
Hold me so tight I can't move
It's like everything I've ever known is a lie
And you're the simple truth
Is it a dream or is it real
All I know is you make me feel so
Chorus:
Beautiful
(Beautiful, Beautiful))
Beautiful (Beautiful, Beautiful)
Beautiful (Beautiful, Beautiful)
You make me feel so
Beautiful (Feel like I could fly)
Beautiful (Across the clear blue sky)
Beautiful (Baby I could cry)
You make me feel so
Beautiful
I
love how soft you touch my skin
Like you're touching the wings of a butterfly
I wish we could just lock ourselves away in a room
Where there was no such thing as time
I've never let anyone get this close
I've always been afraid
But you break down every wall and yet I feel so safe
Every part of who I am
Is so in love 'cause what I have is
(Chorus
X 2)
(Faith
Hill - Cry)
A few
hours later Alexis woke up alone in bed, and could hear a familiar
voice in the nursery, and smiled to herself knowing that Sonny couldn't
have helped himself but to check in on their beautiful baby daughter.
Alexis got out of bed, and went in search of her fiancé and
child.
Sonny:
"You're just as beautiful as your mommy Kristina, but I do
think that you've got my smile, and the dimples too." He cooed,
as he was rubbing Kristina's back, as he was pacing forth and back
with her in the nursery.
Alexis:
"As far as I can remember I've also got dimples?" She
jokingly said.
Sonny:
"Mine are more charming!"
Alexis:
"I think you mean manipulative!" She corrected him, as
they spent some quality time with Kristina.
