Disclaimer: If I owned them we wouldn't be suffering through this storyline
hell.
(In case that wasn't clear enough for someone, I own none of the characters in this story and do not make any money off of them.
Author's Note: This story was started at the beginning of the Summer and as a result does not reflect any
of the storyline changes since them. For example Kristina is still alive, Skye and Jax hadn't married yet,
Jason hadn't come back, Laura was never shipped off to London in a straight jacket...etc. etc. Just to make
it easier on everyone forget everything that's happened on GH since May.
Thanks: To Laura for doing an awesome beta job
Reviews: Like Mana from Heaven. Seriously I'm desperate for them. Good, bad, indifferent, send 'em my way
Alright, now that we've got all that boring stuff out of the way. I give you without any further ado.................

"Abbey, Gina!" Alexis yelled up the stairs, "If you don't hurry up you'll miss breakfast!", Alexis walked away from the foot of the stairs and grabbed her jacket form the back of the couch. The minutes ticked by and still her daughters didn't appear. "I'm not joking you two! You know your father has to leave early this morning!"
"In a minute Mom!" Abbey's voice drifted downstairs from her room.
"I need to find my black boots!" Gina shouted.
"It's not like you don't have seven pairs of them Regina Adella, just choose one! If you and your sister don't get down here in five minutes the only food you'll be getting is what I make you!" The threat worked, in a matter of seconds Alexis could hear running footsteps above her. "Finally!" She exclaimed when Gina and Abbey flew down the stairs.
"What?" They chorused in identical voices, which wasn't surprising when one considered that they were identical twins. For a moment Alexis just had to stand there and admire her girls, they were definitely Sonny's daughters, from their long black hair and dark brown eyes, to the killer smiles and matching dimples that made it impossible for her to deny them anything.
"Earth to Mom, " Gina said, waving her hand in front of Alexis' face, "come in please."
Alexis came out of her reverie and turned to look at her daughter, "What are you wearing Gina?", she asked taking in the red blouse and black leather miniskirt.
"Well I guess she's snapped out of it." Abbey said with a smile as she went and got her own coat.
"It's just a skirt Mom." Gina replied, making her eyes go wide with innocence.
"It' s a miniskirt young lady, and don't give me that look. What do you think your father will say when he sees you?"
"What a beautiful and intelligent daughter I have? Gina guessed.
"Try, no child of mine is going to school looking like a streetwalker. Go upstairs and find another skirt." Alexis ordered.
"But Mom," Gina whined, "I'm sixteen years old, you and Daddy can't keep treating me like a child," Seeing that she was getting nowhere with that argument Gina switched tracks, "besides we're already late, if I go upstairs I'll just have to get a completely different outfit."
"We don't have time for that," Alexis looked at the clock over the mantle, "I have depositions in half an hour. Just pull the skirt down, and I'll you and your father deal with the rest of it."
"Thanks Mommy!" Gina kissed Alexis on the cheek. Grabbing her leather coat she threw open the door and ran across the hall to Sonny's.
"Aren't you glad that I'm the good one?" Abbey asked as she walked over and gave Alexis a kiss on the cheek.
"I think fault for my gray hairs lies pretty much evenly between you and your sister, Abigail Kirsten." Alexis said maneuvering Abbey out the door.
"Maybe," Abbey admitted smoothing down the front of her charcoal gray slacks and walking across the hall, " but at least I'm discreet about it."
Alexis shut the door behind her and wondered, not for the first time, how she had managed to raise two such daughters.
*********************
Abbey, Gina, and Alexis gathered in front of Sonny's door before Abbey and Gina went in for breakfast.
"Alright," Alexis said putting on her glasses and pinning her hair back, "Emily and I are going to be taking depositions tonight do I won't be home until ten-thirty. Where are you two gonna be?"
Abbey went first, "I have debate after school, then Elle and I are going to the mall and then Jay's house."
"Will there be supervision?" Alexis asked, knowing the penchant for trouble her daughter had when left alone with her friends.
"Yes, Mother." Abbey said as though it was the twentieth time that morning she'd volunteered the information. "Skye and Uncle Jax will be there."
"Don't take that tone of voice of voice with me young lady," Alexis cringed at the sound of her voice, *When did I become that kind of mom? * She wondered, but then pushed it to the back of her mind, "The last time you guys all got together I had to come rescue you from the police department."
"That was a nuisance arrest and you know it Mom." Abbey insisted in a perfect of Alexis' "lawyer" voice, sending chills down her mother's back. "The school was pissed because we let the bio frogs go and Captain Taggert wanted to make Daddy angry."
"You haven't passed the bar yet Abbey." Alexis reminded her, "Try to stay out of the big house until then."
Abbey rolled her eyes but didn't say anything more. Alexis knew that the conversation was over so she turned her attentions to Gina. "Regina?" She asked.
"Huh?" Gina was so busy trying to pull her skirt down a few more inches that she hadn't been paying attention.
"What are you doing this afternoon?" Taking pity on Gina's situation Alexis wordlessly took of her black blazer and handed it to the girl.
"Thanks Mom." The blazer was long enough that it pretty much hid the skirt. "I've got lacrosse practice and then Liam's taking me to a movie.
Alexis repressed the shudder that went through her every time she thought about her daughter going out with Luke Spencer's son.
Gina noticed her Mom's little twitch but didn't say anything. "Then he's dropping me off at Jay's house and I'm spending the night there with Abbey."
"Okay darlings." Alexis grabbed Gina's jacked and shrugged it on," I'll see you tomorrow morning, make sure you call me after school lets out and as soon as you get to Jay's house.
The bell on the elevator dinged just before it opened; "All right I've got to go." She blew them a kiss as the doors began to close.
"Bye Mom." The girls said as the doors closed. As soon as their Mom disappeared from sight, Gina turned to Abbey and said, "So how pissed do you think Snarly's gonna be that we've held up her morning?"
"In a word?" Abbey asked, "Extremely."
"We can only hope." Was Gina's reply as she took her keys out of her backpack and went to open the door to PH #2.
