A/N: So I would like to thank Sara (IlovetowritepSMP) for the great suggestion of listening to a song that reminds you of your couple to get your writer's block jump started..it worked although no one in my house wants to hear Kelly Clarkson's Be Still any longer! Anyway, please read and review, you all are great!

They walked quietly down the silent hallway. The lights were dimmed; neither having concept of what time it was on the outside world...all that existed was right then when they opened up Room 206.

Kristina lie there the room dimmed except for a table lamp a nurse had left on...the light illuminated her face making her look even more angelic. Sonny had his hand on the small of Alexis' back and he felt her tremble.

"It's okay" he whispered.

They walked towards the bed together; Alexis was afraid to touch her...the IV was sticking out of her little arm, and the pulse monitor was placed in her third finger, right hand. Sonny came to stand next to her close to Krissy. He leaned down his face at the edge of her bed...and Alexis dropped slightly behind him.

"Hey Princess" he said his voice low, guttural and choked with emotion.

Alexis almost lost it at this point but held her composure as he continued, "Daddy is here for you, and Mommy too" he said turning to her and placing his arm out, palm up. It reminded her of a long time ago; an invitation to come to him...into his heart, his life, his bed. Now it was different but she went to him and knelt next to their daughter's bed, "hey pumpkin"

She rambled for a while; the whole time Sonny hand was rubbing her back...she knew she shouldn't be leaning on him...but he was the only one who could understand and she needed him.

Robin stopped in with Molly explaining that Ric was here to take her home for the night.

"Don't worry I made him promise to bring her back tomorrow" the young doctor said smiling as Alexis and Sonny took the little girl over to her big sisters bed...Molly leaned over to give her a kiss on the forward before Alexis brought her back to Robin and they walked down the long hallway back to the waiting room.

""Mama loves you sweet pea" she said nodding as she kissed the baby and handed her back.

"Thank you Ric"

Ric hung his head and nodded.

When she walked back in she stood by the door and listened silently to Sonny.

"And we still have to go on our trip to Puerto Rico...Daddy has so much he wants to do with you...we didn't have enough time together girl, so you gotta wake up soon"

It was then she felt the knot in the pit of her stomach and the tears start to fall. She walked out before he noticed she was back...and she walked down an unfamiliar hallway and ducked into a room sliding down the wall the tears hitting the ground.

"Alexis are you okay?" she heard Liz asked.

When she opened her eyes she realized she was in the employee locker room.

"Oh, I'm sorry Liz; I didn't realize where I was" she said getting up to leave.

"You don't have to go...it's just us in here...right now is the lull " the younger woman said smiling.

The warm inviting nature made Alexis stay, "thank you"

It was silently for a couple of minutes, Liz filling out Cameron's preschool paperwork.

"How is Kristina doing?" she asked noticing Alexis not doing well with silence.

"Sonny is in there with her right now" she said looking down at her hands.

When she looked back up Liz saw the sadness in her face, "for so long I thought that Sonny was the worst danger that could come to our child...I hid her, and he missed so much...and look what happens; she gets hurt from a car...not a mob hit, nothing to do with Sonny; just some idiot driving on the road drunk. Now he will never get back that time...her first tooth, her first word..."

Her stomach turned as she turned back to Alexis, "everyday I look at my son, and I hope I made the right decision...that cutting the father of my child out of his life was really the best thing"

Alexis placed her hand on Liz's, "Zander was on a path of destruction...you did what was best for your child"

"Zander" she mumbled realizing just how many mistakes she had made.

The door opened before more could be said, "Miss Davis, what are you? Um, Mr. Corinthos has been looking for you" Patrick said looking at the teary eyed women.

"Thank you" Alexis said to Liz.

"No...thank you" Liz said before closing her locker...she had somewhere to be.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Sam came to the door and knocked, "come in" she heard Sonny say.

When she pushed the door she saw him, his head in his hands, "have you seen Lex" he asked his eyes brimmed in red, and his voice course.

"No, I came...I can look for her"

He shook his head, "I will...sit with Kristina" he asked softly.

The tears came instantly, "yeah"

It was then he leaned over to his daughter and kissed her head, "I love you Princess...your sister Sam is here okay, daddy will be back soon"

Sam couldn't think of any other time she saw Sonny so vulnerable...so without question she took the place beside her sister's bed and took her little hand into her own.

"Come on sleepy head, you gotta wake up...you don't even know how many people need you to open up those beautiful eyes for us" she said before the torrent of hot tears poured from her face. She cried silently still clutching to Kristina's hand.

Sonny walked down to the lobby to inquire about Alexis; no one seemed to know where she went. He thought about trying to chapel until he saw Lucky sitting in the chair across the hall.

"Lucky" he said calling the man's attention.

"Hey" the younger man said getting up slowly.

Sonny came and thrust out his hand, "I want to personally thank you for what you did for my little girl"

He took his hand firmly, "Kristina is one special kid...I know that just from those times over at Nik's or when Alexis would bring her to work...and I just..."

"I know" Sonny said sadly patting him on the back.

Lucky nodded knowing what it meant...Sonny was in his debt...and he realized something at that moment; maybe a mobster and a cop weren't so different.

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Carly sat alone on the bench, she had just called Jason to update him. She was waiting for Jax or Michael; she didn't really know what time he was coming back in; after she had told Jerry about Sonny and Alexis he had left. It was true...every word; she had fought years against it and in a moment she realized it was futile. Alexis would always be the one that got away to Sonny, the one he isn't good enough for...and he didn't even realize that it didn't matter...Alexis still loved him. Maybe on one of her generous days she would enlighten him. For now she sat in a cold hospital chair waiting.

She was half asleep when someone shook her softly, "Carly honey, you still here?" her mom asked.

"What time is it"

"7 in the morning, what are you still doing here?"

"Waiting for Jason to bring Michael...I just want to go home and hug my boys but Michael made me promise he could come this morning"

Bobbie nodded, "things like these make you realize how much you have, huh?"

Carly saw the tears in her mother's eyes and instantly the recognition came, "BJ" she whispered bringing her hands to her mouth.

The older woman nodded sadly the tears fresh, "BJ and Kristina...things like this don't deserve to happen to them.

She pulled her mother close, "I know mama...I know"

OoOoOoOoOoOoO

Alexis crept towards her daughter's room. Inside her eldest was in the middle of reading Chika Chika Boom Boom.

"That's one of her favorites" she whispered quiet.

Sam turned, "I know...Epiphany rustled me up a copy" she said with a sad smile.

"Did Sonny find you?"

A simpled nod, "yes, and I made him go lay down in an observation room...he looked exhausted."

Sam noted that Alexis didn't look much better but she didn't say it instead she formulated a plan.

Finally she turned, "I am going to go to the lake house and get you something to wear...and I am coming back with coffee and breakfast for you" she said noting the rumpled suit from yesterday afternoon.

A simple nod was given instead of an argument and Sam smiled on the inside, "Okay, I will be back"

"I love you Samantha" stopped her dead in her tracks.

She simply nodded and walked out turning to look through the window and she whispered for only her ears to hear, "I love you too...mom"

An hour later Alexis heard the door squeak.

Instead of Sam or Sonny she saw a head full of red hair and a mouth full of braces.

"Hi Miss Davis" Michael said his voice quivering.

"Michael, you can call me Alexis, okay?"

He nodded and then looked at the bed, "is she okay?"

She knelt down, "right now she is sleeping; it is helping to give her body a chance to heal...but the doctors said she can hear us...so if you want to talk to her...go ahead"

As he slowly made his way to the bed he pulled out something from his pocket, "Hey Krissy...Mogan couldn't come and Jason didn't know if we could bring flowers so Morgan sent along his favorite car. It's the red one...he said you can keep it until you get better again" he said starting to cry.

Alexis let him release for a little while and then went to him and touched his shoulder. Immediately he was in her arms.

Instead of sleeping Sonny had lain on the hospital bed...it was like watching a slide show of loss. He saw them floating above cloud. Finally when he couldn't stand anymore and he'd wandered back to his daughters. Room.

What he saw in there would fill and break his heart. Right there his oldest son wept in the arms of Alexis. He cried openly now and Alexis opened her eyes to see two dark orbs staring back. She motioned with her arms to close and in a moment they were all there...He wrapped his arms around his family...Kristina's family,
