Reese continued on her path to Sonny's. When she got there Michael ran out and hugged her tightly as Sonny stood in the doorway. He gave her this look that was mixed with resentment and hurt. They stared at each other for the longest time then it began to rain. "Come in...before you catch somethin' " Sonny said as he opened the door so she could walk in. As she walked in she looked at him as she stood infront of him while he closed the door. "Thanks...can we talk?" "Might as well..." he said as he walked into the living room of his place and sat down. "Max...no one calls or comes in." "Ok Boss." Max said as he closed the door behind the two.
"Sonny..." Reese didn't quite know where to begin. She knew she had hurt him it was obvious. She sat close beside him as her voice began to choke. All of a sudden the lights begin to flicker on and off as she looked around. Reese wasn't too keen in a huge house with no lights. Out of impulse she cuddled up to Sonny as he reluctantly held her. "It's ok Reese..." he said as he held her close. "Sonny I'm sorry...if this isn't karma biting me in the a-- I don't know what is..." she said nervously when all of a sudden Ric and Alexis busted in. "Sorry Sonny..." Alexis apologized profusely. "Our car ran into your ditch..." Ric said noticing Reese.
"Alexis I don't mind but Ric...Out!" Sonny said angrily. "Sonny...Sonny please...it's storming...they said theirs a hurricane expected please don't." Reese pleaded Ric's case. "Fine.." Sonny said as he wasn't happy with the idea. Ric sighed as he looked at Alexis. "Let's go this was inevitably a bad idea." Ric said staring at Reese as she sat her head down in the palms and sighed. "Ric you're crazy we're staying here...what do you have something against Agent Marshall now?" Alexis asked oblivious to what had happened between the two. "They had a one night stand Alexis!" Sonny said blowing off steam angrily. Alexis looked shellshocked. "What? Ric and Reese? Yeah Right." she said not wanting to believe it. She had just had a daughter with Ric a little girl he couldn't have done something like this to her.
"It's true Alexis..."Ric said not even attempting to deny the charges. "Agent Marshall is it?" She asked wanting the second opinion of the other woman in her husbands life. "I'm afraid so..." She said not looking at Alexis. "How could you Ric!" she said as she began pounding on his chest. "Alexis...Alexis stop I'm Sorry!" "Yeah? Well "Sorry" doesn't count for much right now Ric!" she said as she bolted to the other side of the room. "I don't want you near me right now Ric..." she said trying to gain her calmness again. Ric sighed in desperation. "Alexis it was one night..." Reese sat there and as everything ran through her head she was beginning to have second thoughts about her feelings for Ric. She cared about him she wouldn't deny him that but she wasn't sure if she loved him as she had told Liz. Maybe it was only lust.
The lights flickered again before finally surrounding the house in complete and utter darkness. Both Reese and Alexis screamed. Out of impulse Reese ran to Sonny and Alexis ran to Ric.
"Alexis you and him can take the guest room upstairs to the right." Sonny said looking out the window at the lightening and rough winds. "I'll take the couch Sonny." Reese said beginning to moved over towards it. "You sure? You're welcome to the bed." "I think the couch will be suitable for tonight we'll see where we go from there." she said giving him a gentle kiss on the cheek. "but can we talk?" "Yeah...Alexis can-can we have some privacy please?" Alexis and Ric then moved upstairs to the bedroom. Ric was ordered to sleep on the floor because Alexis wanted nothing to do with him with him for the time being.
Sonny sat beside Reese on the couch. "Sonny...It's been awhile since anyone's ever really loved me like you have...the last person to love me unconditionally was my little boy Jaime. And admittedly I screwed up Sonny I stretched myself beyond my means when I shouldn't have and I screwed up...that'll just about kill us won't it? I mean Sonny I swear to you that I love you it was just an error in judgement. What I did God knows I didn't mean it Sonny and Maybe we're over maybe this I'm as much as I hate to say it like Carly maybe it will tear us apart to stay together Sonny I Don't know but what I do know is how much I love you and Michael and Morgan...So with this said I don't know..." she said as she sighed. "I'll let you sleep because I need some time to think Reese we'll talk more tommorrow." He got up kissed her forehead and went on to bed. He had some issues to resolve.
Later that night Ric came down. "Reese...Reese wake up." He whispered. "what the he..." Ric cut her off before she could finish that sentence because of her screaming. "Shhhh Do you want to wake the whole house up?" she calmed down at he recognition of his voice. "Are you trying to scare me or just kill me out of fear?" "Sorry...Sorry...look about earlier..." "It's ok Ric..." Ric wanted to see if anything was there between them so out of impulse he kissed her. After Sonny went to bed Reese had a few drinks and she kissed Ric back.
