A/N I'm depressed. Not from the fact that Rexis is rumored to get caught in an elevator together, but from the fact that baby cameron is not Zander's, but is Ric's baby. So, because of this, I will fit this into my story. Hope you enjoy.

Chapter Three

Alexis sat up, and looked around the dark room. It had been a week since she left the hospital, and she was trying to come up with a way to tell Ric that she was carrying his child.

If it wasn't for the fact that she was pregnant, she would ring Ric's neck. He had sleep with her that night, and didn't even bother to clue her in.

Alexis heard the knock on her door again. Standing up, Alexis walked over to the door, and opened it. Standing in the doorway was Greg, holding a box of chocolate's and flowers. Alexis wanted to scream. Instead Alexis looked at her watch. " Greg, it is eleven, I am tired, what are you doing here?"

He smiled and held out the flowers. " I heared that you were in the hospital, so I decided come and visit you. How are you?" Concern showed on his face.

Alexis took the flowers and the box of chocolate's and looked up at Greg. " May I come in?" He asked her. " I'll leave you alone,"

Alexis smiled nervously. " Forever?"

He shook his head. "for a week. And I wont bother you for another date.........at least for now."

Alexis sighed and stood aside and let him in. He walked in and Alexis closed the door behind him.

Greg sat on her couch and looked up at her. " Well are you going to sit down, or do I have to stand up as well?"

Alexis placed the flowers down on the table and decided to keep the chocolate's at hand. Before sitting down, Alexis turned on one of the lamps on the table beside the couch. Finally she sat down at the other side of the couch. She looked over at him. She wanted the chocolate's, but didn't want to seem like a pig in front of him. And she didn't want him to find out that she was pregnant.

" So tell me Alexis, why were you in the hospital?" He inched a little closer to her.

" I was trying to talk on the phone while driving. It is safe to say, that didn't work out well." To hell with it, Alexis thought as she opened up the box and ate a carmel filled chocolate.

Greg looked at her, and inched closer. He was about to say something when they heard a small voice. " Mommy." Alexis turned ariund to find her two year old daughter standing in the door way, holding her favorite baby doll.

Alexis set the box on the table and got up and picked up her daughter. " What's wrong honey? Are you thirsty?" She shook her tiny head.

" No. " She whispered. " I had a scary dream."

" Yeah?"

" Yeah."

" Okay, why don't you sit out herre with me and my," Alexis fought for words. " Friend, Mr. Smith." Alexis walked around the table and sat down, and placed Kristina between her and Greg.

Kristina looked up at Greg, and inched toward Alexis. " Hi." She whispered.

" Hi. My name is Greg. What is yours?"

" Kristina."

Greg smiled. " I have a son and daughter around your age. There twins. Their names are Olivia and Jack."

Alexis looked over at him. Maybe he wasn't that creepy. That's a big maybe. " Want some chocolate?" Greg asked her. Kristina noded her head.

" Oh I don't think that........." Alexis started.

" She'll be fine." Just then someone ekse knocked on her door. Alexis stood up and walked over to the door. Doesn't anyone have a watch? She thought as she pulled open the door just as she heard Kristina giggle.

" What are you doing here?" Alexis asked Ric, who stood in her door way. Alexis didn't know what to say. She was acting just the way she did when she was around Sonny.

" I see that you are busy, I'll come back, tommorow." He looked at her, but didn't leave.

" No. Stay." Alexis turned to were Kristina sat, sucking on her pice of chocolate, and Greg looking up at her and Ric. " Um, Greg, I had to do this, but me and Ric need to talk over a few things, so"

" You want me to leave. Okay. Hope you feel better Alexis. By Kristina." Kristina waved good-bye and contuined to eat her chocolate. Greg got up, and before leaving, kissed her on the check. Alexis cringed.

Ric walked in and closed the door behind him. " Did I come at a bad time?"

Alexis turned to face him. " No. You came at a perfect time. I was trying to find a way for him to leave. I shouldn't of let him in. Please, come sit down."

His brow pinched with confussion. " Are you okay? I mean with the wreak and everything, did it mess with your thinking?"

Alexis smiled and shook her head. " No, I'm good." Beside the fact that I am carrying your child, her inner voice nagged.

" I have to tell you something. It is important." His voice was deadly serious.

He knows, Alexis worried. He knows that I'm pregnant and wants to take it. I have to tell him. The truth. He isn't like Sonny. He isn't a crime lord. He is a lwayer, just like me. He would love him or her. Oh god, this is goinng to be hard. " Good I have to tell you something to."

" It is about Cameron." Ric looked up at her. " He's mine."

Alexis just stared at him. She didn't know what to say. So Ric went in talking. " I talked to Elizabeth, and we are going to get married, again. To give my son a name, my name."

Alexis finally found her voice, and she prayed that it was clam and cool. " Why, are you telling me this?"

He looked up at her. " I can talk to you. You, are the only person here that I feel knows me, and what I do. Your my friend Alexis." He just looked at her for a few moments. The tension in the air was so thick you could cut it with a knife. " So, what did you want to tell me?"

Alexis tried to figure out a quick lie. " I-I wanted to tell you that I can't work on the-the um Jackson case. I'll be taking some time off in the winter, so, so can't work with you, on the, uh case."

" Are you okay Alexis? And why the hell can't you work on the case, and were are you going in the winter?" At first he was concerned, then he was mad.

Alexis held up her defense. " Don't you get mad at me." Alexis looked down at Kristina who had gotten into the chocolate box and was eating one chocolate while holding another in her other hand.

Alexis bent down and picked up her daughter. " Now, me and Kristina must wash up and get ready for bed. Unless you want to stay."

" I'd like nothing better."He whispered. He stared at her for a few more seconds, then turned on his heels and walked out. Closing the door behind him. Alexis stared at the closed door. Kristina placed two hands on Alexis face, smearing chocolate all over her face, bringing her back to reality.

Alexis smiled. " Let's get you cleaned up."



Alexis leaned up and kissed her husband. She never felt more loved. " Your home early." Alexis said once her husband finished kissing her.

" Yes I am. How is my little boy today?" he asked as he picked up his son, Travis. " And how is my lovely wife?"

Alexis smiled and stood up. " I'm fine, how was work? I can't wait to get back to work."

Ric looked down at her. " Don't rush it. You just had a baby."

Alexis smiled. " Don't worry. I am good."

Ric looked at her. " I love you so." He bent down and kissed her. " I love you so very much.

Alexis woke up. Her breathing was heavy. Alexis wanted to cry.

" I think I'm in love with Ric Lansing.



what do ya think? anyways it is rumored that Cameron is Ric's. I just hope, that LiRic doesn't get back together.
