Chapter Twelve

"Where is she? What room? What the HELL happened? Where IS SHE?!" Sonny yelled at anyone who would listen the moment he stepped off the elevator onto the fifth floor in General Hospital. Elizabeth and Emily looked up surprised but Epiphany beat them to him.

"You're going to have to lower your voice, Mr. Corinthos!" Epiphany said in her tone.

"Like hell!! Where is she?!"

"Come on, I'll bring you to her."

It had been a week since Sam came home. Sonny was happy to see her, but unhappy that now he had to spend less time with Alexis. He had taken the kids to the park when Robin called his cell. His phone was on silent, so he missed the call, finally hearing it in the limo on the way home.

"Sonny, it's Robin. We're taking Alexis to General Hospital. She won't wake up. Fifth floor." That was it. That was the entire message and it made him even angrier.

Sonny freaked. He ordered Max to immediately turn the limo around and go to the hospital, remaining calm in front of the kids. Once in the entryway, he told Max to bring the kids home and wait for his call.

Alexis lay there, seemingly peaceful, with oxygen and tubes everywhere. Sam and Jason were by her side.

"Sonny." Jason stood.

"What the hell happened?" Sonny couldn't take his eyes off of her.

Sam was crying next to her bed. She looked over to Sonny, "I came to give her some lunch. She wouldn't … she wouldn't wake up." She started crying harder and Jason helped her stand, holding her close. Sonny saw tears misting in Jason's eyes.

"Would you two um … mind if … " Sonny asked politely. Jason nodded and walked Sam out. Sonny bent down to Alexis.

"Don't you leave me." Sonny took her hand, kissed her forehead, and leaned down to place his head in the palm of her hands, "Don't you leave me."

Robin walked in quietly and saw him. Her heart melted. Robin didn't want to tell him, but there was no hiding it.

Sonny heard her footsteps and looked back, "Robin?"

She walked up beside him and put a hand on his shoulder, "It doesn't look good, Sonny. She slipped into a coma and … I just, we're baffled by this. We don't know what's going on."

Sonny wanted to punch her. He'd never wanted to physically harm a woman, and he loved Robin like a sister, but hearing her say those words, he just wanted to punch her in the face.

"How do you NOT know, Robin?! You were living there with us!! Where were you when Sam was in there?"

"I was with the kids … outside, Sonny, I heard her scream and I was there." Robin started to cry, "Sonny, this was going to happen … even if she were in the hospital these past two months, this was going to happen."

Sonny shook his head and looked back to Alexis, "Wake up Alexis!" He yelled, Robin grabbed his arm to pull him back. He jerked it away from her, let go of Alexis' hands, and backed away. "We're getting married. Alexis, you said you'd marry me and now you go do this? This wasn't … this wasn't supposed to happen like this! She was getting stronger! She was … it was WORKING!" Robin looked to the floor and allowed the tears to slide down her cheeks untouched. She looked up to Alexis, then over to Sonny.

"Sonny, come on, let's go get some air."

He didn't argue, he didn't fight it, he just followed her out.

Sam and Jason were sitting in the waiting area on the fifth floor when they heard the yelling in the elevator. The woman was screaming so loud, they heard it when the elevator had stopped on the fourth floor.

"God! Stop pushing the DAMN buttons!! Let's go to the FIFTH floor and then you people can come back down!!"

Jason looked at Sam and smiled sadly, "Carly," he whispered and stood to greet her before she tore open the elevator doors. When they finally opened, a very upset and angry Carly walked out, leaving behind very scared visitors and nurses to the hospital.

She saw Jason first off and yelled, "Where is she?"

"She's with Sonny."

"Fine. What ROOM is she in?! She's about to be with SONNY AND ME!!" Figuring that she wouldn't get information out of Jason, she walked up to the nurses' station. Elizabeth, Patrick, and Epiphany were discussing another patient.

"Hey!"

They looked to her.

"Where is she?"

Elizabeth smirked, "Who?" She questioned sincerely.

"Alexis you, twit! Patrick, Epiphany, help me out here."

"Carly, first, you need to calm down."

"The HELL I will!! They told me that she wouldn't wake up! I swear to God, you have five seconds to give me her room number or all three of you will be lying on the floor, in so much pain, you'll WISH you were in a coma!! Pregnant or NOT!" She glared at Elizabeth, who looked to Jason, backing up.

Sam smiled in the background, and quickly rushed to Carly, grabbing her arm, leading her away to Alexis' room.
