Kristina waited for some emotion to come onto Sonny's face, but there was nothing, until... "Kristina Chloe Corinthos-Davis. Whose is it?" Sonny demanded angrily, striggling to keep his composure.

Tears came to her eyes, as they always did when Sonny was angry with her. "Daddy, it doesn't matter. All that matters is that in nine months I'm going to have a baby. I know you're not happy with me, but please don't yell at me. I already know that I've messed up," she said, her voice quavering.

"Whose is it?" Sonny said again, as though he hadn't heard her.

"I'm raising it alone, daddy," she protested.

"No, you're not," Sonny said slowly. "I don't want this baby to live without a father like you had to for so long."

"You're not mad?" Kristina asked hopefully, just as Dennis entered and said, "The baby's mine, Mr. Corinthos."

Kristina was shocked. Sonny turned evil to Dennis. "You dared to touch my daughter. I'll kill you."

A scared look came over Dennis's face, and Kristina knew she couldn't let this happen. She walked in between them and said to her father, "Daddy, no. This baby is not his." She turned to Dennis and added, "I don't know what you are thinking coming over here and pretending like you're my baby's father. This baby is mine and mine alone."

"No, the baby's not mine, but we could act like it is. Every child needs a father, and you're going to need help through all this. And this way we can keep the baby away from Joey," Dennis suggested.

"No," Sonny interrupted, and when Kristina gave him a harsh look he added, "That's exactly what your mother did to keep you away from me. Every baby needs to know it's natural father."

"What about Michael?" Kristina asked defiantly.

"That's very different. AJ would have destroyed Michael."

"Well Joey's not like you, daddy. You wanted me. Joey doesn't want anything to do with me. It's all the way around school and Joey hasn't even approached me about it," Kristina lied.

"If I'm aware, Joey Jacks doesn't even go to your school. How would this even get around to him?" Sonny asked.

"All right, that wasn't true, but Elise told Joey that I was pregnant. She said all Joey did was nod, that he didn't even say anything," Kristina made up in a rush.

Sonny nodded, and Dennis said, "Mr. Corinthos, presuming that Kristina agrees to it, what if we say I'm the baby's father. We don't have to make a big deal of it, or go announcing it all over the place. I can help Kristina through this and then help her raise the baby."

Sonny looked as though he was considering, then turned to Kristina and asked, "Is this what you want?"

"Well, its not the ideal situation of course, but I could live with it, and it would probably be better for everyone," she replied.

"But would it make you happy?"

"Yes. I mean, the idea of having a baby is going to take some getting used to, but in the end I will be happy," she told her father.

Sonny sighed. He didn't want Kristina to do this. He didn't want her to do the same thing her mother had done. And suddenly he understood.

"I'll need to think about this, Kristina," he said.

"Thank you so much, daddy," she said reaching out to hug him, but he pushed her away, gently.

"I'm very disappointed in you. Please go to your room," he said, not looking at her. It was the first time she had ever wanted a hug and Sonny hadn't returned it. He hated seeing the tears come into her eyes as he did so.


"I'm here to see Alexis Davis," Sonny said upon entering Pentonville.

"What's your name and your relationship to the prisoner?" a guard asked.

"Sonny Corinthos. I'm the father of her daughter."

"Right this way," the guard told him.

Sonny followed, still not sure he was doing the right thing. The guard showed him to a visiting stall and asked him to wait a few minutes. He was nervous, fidgeting, an action that he knew was unusual for him. "Did this mean he had doubts? That he was unsure? Surely not the great Sonny Corinthos," a voice in his head taunted.

Alexis walked into the visiting stall, her head down. Sonny coughed, and she looked up. "What the hell are you doing here?" she asked angrily, for she had been hoping Kristina might come to visit her.

"I understand," Sonny said, not looking at her.

"Understand what?" Alexis asked, confused.

"Why you kept her a secret, why you didn't tell me about her," Sonny said, tears in his eyes because he knew his little princess was growing up. "I finally get it."

"You came all the way here to tell me that?" she asked incredulously.

"Yes...and no. I came here to tell you about your daughter."

Alexis's features softened. "Tell me anything, everything."

"She's a beautiful young lady. She's smart, and everyday she seems to be years above her age. Even when she was younger, it amazed me, the things she said. And she's always been my little girl, until right about now."

"What happened Sonny?" Alexis asked worried. "If anything happened to my daughter I'll kill you. I have fifteen years left here, so a life sentence is not that big of a deal."

"Kristina's pregnant, Alexis," Sonny said, frustrated that Alexis was assuming the worst of him as always. "The father is Jax's son, Joey. But she doesn't like Joey, and doesn't want him to know about the baby. So Emily's son, Dennis, offered to play as the baby's father, you know, help her raise it, and Kristina is agreeing. She explained her reasons to me, and suddenly I understood why you did the same to me."

Alexis shook her head. "I may not like you, Sonny, but I have to give you credit, it's so crystal clear you love that little girl. She's the only one you would listen to in a situation like this."

"She's not such a little girl anymore," Sonny said, finally admitting it to himself. "I don't want her to do this. I don't want her to go through what we went through over her."

"So you're basically saying that you know Kristina's right, but you don't want her to do it because you see that she's becoming more and more like me," Alexis said, somewhat hopefully.

Sonny was angered at this. "Kristina is nothing like you," he told her, struggling to keep his voice down. "You tried to kill her and my wife. Kristina would never do that. You are jealous and scared, Kristina is confident and brave. Every personality trait she has, she can thank Carly for it. Carly is the woman who raised her."

"So you're saying that my daughter is a manipulative, self-centered, liar?"

Sonny almost shouted, and then got himself in check. "I'm not here to argue with you about Carly. I came here to tell you that I understand why you did what you did, and it's now time for me to go."

Yeah, sorry this chapter was so dumb. I was having some trouble bringing Alexis back.
