She was quite.

He was quite.

What could they say?



-Sonny.-

-You lied to me you of all people Alexis.-

-You hurt me what did you expect me to do?-

-Tell me the truth.- Sonny said.

-You changed right before my eyes. You turned into the man everyone said you where. I blinded myself to that truth.-

-That hasn't changed.-

-I know the difference here is I've grown up a bit. I'm a bit more Cassadine. Considering the things I've done for my baby.-

-So now that you have blood on your hands you can relate? I didn't want that Alexis.-

-That wasn't your choice.-

-If I had known then maybe none of this would have happen.-

-Look at me Sonny.-



He did.



-I'm a grown women have been for a while now. I knew what I was getting into with you and Alcazar and everything else I grew up in the Cassadine house.-

-That not an excuse!-

-What do you want!? What do you want me to say? Bottom line she was all that mattered after... and I did what I had to for her.-

-After what Alexis?-

-Sonny.-

-After I went back to Carly. You should have told me.-

-And WHAT you loved Carly nothing was going to change that, better you think it was mistake then having you felling sorry for the women who loved you and you didn't love me back.-

-You came to me for help and I turned you away.-

-I used your trust against you.-

-I got your sister killed and walked away when you needed me.-

-I set Brenda and Jason up.-

-I left you to deal with all that pain and Kristina sickness alone. I brought Carly to your sister's funeral when you just needed me. I never said anything about what happened it was, I'm with Carly now deal with it.-

-I did and I still am. Remember what I told you?-

-Yes.-

-I love you. I loved you then and now, but you don't come first anymore my little girl does. The best part is you gave her to me. If you never gave me anything else that all I want from you. She is the time we spent together the friendship and bond we had.-

-So you don't want anything else.-

-Oh god Sonny I will always want you.-



He was waiting for the but. He could tell she was waiting for his wrath the anger he was known for, Alexis took the brunt of it better then most did.



-But?-

-But what Sonny this isn't about me.-

-Funny I thought it was.-

-YOU let me go. YOU went back to her. NOT one day after US happened.-



Now she was getting mad.



-I know I said I was strong for not having you there. BUT I'm pissed that I meant so little to you then. I know I said I needed someone to blame. BUT I'm pissed that you didn't care or love ME enough to stop that thought in my head.-

-Alexis.-

-Yeah go for it! Say it Sonny! I kept your child way from you. You deserved it.-

-She wasn't even pregnant then Alexis?-

-Yeah how long did that last. Not days after, not days after Sonny, you son of a bitch!-



He blinked she was mad and so was he.



-SO what you don't want me now.-

-NO you jackass I will always want you! I want you now I wanted you then I just don't like that fact that you don't want me.-

-Don't tell me how I feel.-

-HOW! How did you feel then? What was it that let you crawl into bed with me Sonny a STRONG attraction? Cause it sure as shit wasn't love! If it was you would have thought twice about what she did!-

-I felt... affection.-



Alexis snorted she wanted to slap him so hard his teeth raddled.



-Now I'm falling in love...-

-With your daughter!-

-No dammit her mother. Carly crawled from on man to another you did it all alone. Faced Alcazar alone and everything else alone, I hate that you had to do that by yourself. That you lost Kristina that I did what I did.-



Alexis sighed.



-Alexis I'm asking for a second chance to make things with us right. To be a father to my children all those things I said over the phone. I know your hurt and mad, so am I and we ignored that with this whole Carly, Alcazar thing but here we are putting it all out in the open.-



She looked at him.



-Can you deal with my betrayal?-

-I've learned to deal with a lot while married to her. Yes I can deal with it I betrayed you to can you deal with that?-

-Yes Sonny.-



She looked in to his brown eyes and sighed.



-What wrong now?-

-I don't know I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.-

-Alexis we waited longer then Carly did, let just be with each other and our children.-

-How'd she take it?-

-The usual.-

-I see.-

-Doesn't matter.-

-Doesn't it?-

-No cause that parts over, now's us.-



They sat in the café barely said two words to each other. They walked in silence and ate in silence hoping Sonny and Alexis would call, both knew the couple had a lot to talk about and even more to do. Now they just sat drinking coffee and watching the sun go down. Billy didn't know what to say or how to say it. She didn't expect him to come, she didn't expect him to choose her at all. All Courtney had to do was cry and that's it nice sexual experience.



Jason watched her carefully she was thinking hard about them it was clear she hadn't expected him to show up at all. But he did and he was sure she didn't know how to deal with that.



-I can't take this anymore Billy.- Jason said.

-I know but you must admit it's funny.- She said.

-What?- He asked.

-You being here.-

-Why?-

-Nobody chose me Jason, nobody wants a ex-hooker, drug addict, rape victim.-

-That's an excuse.- he said.

-Is it?-

-Yes.- he said.



She studied him.



-Your surprised to be here to aren't you?- she asked.

-Not really.- He said.

-Yes you are.-

-Would you like me to be?-



She blinked.



-Would that make it better for you do deal with that fact that I'm here?-

-No.- she answered.

-Then no I'm not surprised I frustrated.- Jason admitted.

-Bout?-

-Us.-

-Oh.-

-Billy, Elizabeth and I never seem to have the right timing. Always off, always something coming between US. I now realized we let it. Because we let that something ruin what we ourselves weren't sure about I'm not going to let it happen again. I ended my marriage for this, us.-

-You did?- she was surprised.

-Yes.-

-Jason I'm four years old, right I've never BEEN in love I don't know what it is, all I get form HER is pain.-

- Someone had to teach me what love was Billy. I think I can teach you.-



She looked at him.



-Will you let me?-



Did she really want to know. In Vegas you learn there is shit you can do without in order to live. Love was at the top of the list, but she wasn't in Vegas any more.



-Yeah why the hell not.-



Jason laughed at that one.



-Lets go home I'm tired we've been busy all day.



Apartment



He felt better then anything she'd felt in a while and she wouldn't lie about that. Kissing the man was an event, he devoured her every time. Like he was eating her alive, he backed her into the bedroom clothes lost along the way. Krissy and Morgan where asleep and they had the night all to themselves. Alexis sighed then gasped when Sonny tasted her wetness.



-So ready for me?-

-Always.- She gasped out.



He smiled and licked her heat, she mewed and moaned.



-Sonny please now.-



He didn't stop is onslaught until she cried out in a horse spent cry. He didn't give her time to come down he was inside her instantly gritting his teeth as she came round him a second time. He held on and as she began to come down he moved.



Alexis was on fire and Sonny wasn't letting her come down from her high. He kept her at the peak and wouldn't stop. For him she was a heighly sexual creature. The attraction was the way she hid it under her suites and attitude. For it was the game she played and he always enjoyed that.



Women like Carly and Brenda where a dime a dozen rich men get the models or the ex-anything. But the refine-educated women with morals tend to pass that up for her intellectual match. He presses his forehead to hers and looked into her eyes as she licked her lips. It came on slowly and rolled through them both like thunder.



The night they conceived their daughter was nothing like that. Perhaps it was the wait, the disconnection the emotions between them, either way it was at an end like their separation. Sonny rolled away from Alexis and pulled her under his chin. She was asleep in seconds from the bed he could see the cribs. He sighed softly his children, so long ago he never believed he'd have children today he had three whom he would die for.



Today he had a woman who was his match and equal in every way. Today Sonny was whole, how long it lasted he didn't know but as long as its forever he didn't much care. The sun came up to Kristina calling for her mommy. Sonny got up and went to her crib.



-Shh little one mommy and your brother need their rest. How about we make them breakfast.-



Kristina smiled and nodded. Alexis woaked to Morgan fussing, she got up a noticed Sonny and Kristina gone she picked up the baby boy and took him to the kitchen she tried not to laugh. Sonny and Kristina where cover in powder and egg. They notice her and Morgan.



-What happened?-

-My little girl like her mother she doesn't like to cook.-

-I could have told you that. Let switch, better yet you two get clean up and we'll clean the kitchen and then you start over okay. It's still early.-



Sonny and Kristina splashed water and laughed while Alexis rocked and tickled Morgan the kitchen was clean the four where well on the way to breakfast on the balcony. Alexis noticed Jason and Billy coming of the road. She waved to them to come up, the six sat and ate and talked.



Billy sighed content, Elizabeth restless soul had some where in the night with Jason found peace the people she'd come to love had found peace to. She couldn't ask for more, Billy felt like the shadow Elizabeth cast over her was gone. She smiled at Jason.



-What?-

-Nothing just good.-
