Chapter 10

Police Station

A solemn Alexis talked with Mac about the latest developments in her life. "Carly is alive. I've been living the last 5 years with a man who isn't my husband legally. Carly came to the house today and let me know that she wanted me out of the house. She had all of the papers to prove her point."

Mac held up his hand and said "Alexis, you don't have to explain. I was at your wedding remember? I know that Sonny married you believing he was a widow. What I can't believe is that Carly would have the audacity to try to get you kicked out of your own house. Why didn't she take into account you have helped Sonny raise her children with love and concern?"

Kristina snorted next to her, "Mac, don't be naïve. Carly is worried about Carly. She doesn't care that my sister is pregnant and shouldn't be stressed out. Her only concern is making Sonny and Alexis pay for trying to have a little bit of peace and happiness with each other."

Mac looked at Alexis in sympathy and said "Look, why don't you go home? I don't need you here anymore. The officer will be properly reprimanded."

Alexis stood up grateful that this hadn't been to stressful and said "Thanks for this Mac. Please don't let the officer get in trouble; he was just following Carly's orders."

Kristina stood up and placed her hand in the small of her sisters back and led her out of the room. Mac shook his head in disgust at Carly's behavior while reaching for the phone.

"Michael, where were you? You missed 1st period and most of 2nd!" Michael smiled briefly at Alicia

"I'm sorry I worried you. I've been having a bad morning." Alicia clucked her tongue at him in sympathy and said "Your birth mother not leaving you alone?"

Michael slammed his lock shut and turned to her "If it only was that simple, I could deal but it's not. She's going after my mother because she knows that will piss me off which she has done a pretty good job of doing. She came to the house this morning with an officer wanting to arrest my mother. Can you believe this crap?"

Alicia flinched at the anger she heard in his voice "Michael, it's not going to be easy on you but you have to be strong. Your family needs you. You can let the anger out on someone else's time." Michael looked at her in question, "How did you get to be so wise? You had a pretty normal family life from what I hear."

Alicia blushed becomingly and said, "Michael, you aren't the only one who has been through life's tough punches. I watch Oprah."

Leaning over he placed a chaste kiss on her lips. "Thank you. I don't know what I would do if I didn't have you and my mother."

Alicia looped her hand through Michael's and said "Come on, we are going to be late for our next class."

"I'm glad Jase left, we need to talk Sonny. I've come back to chaos, what is this I hear about you leaving the Mob business. I guess this was another idea of the goody two-shoes?"

Sonny cleared his throat and said "What do you want Carly? Money? House?"

Carly laughed and said, "We are still married you know. I'm sure your wife can tell you that as for as Port Charles is concerned, Alexis is just your mistress. I'm the one with all of the power and I can have your little marriage annulled anytime I want. I'm the one with all of the cards, so unless you starting acting grateful, I will be coming at you with my arsenal full. I'm not giving you a divorce Sonny so you can run back to that whore of yours. I want you and Michael & Morgan and myself to live together as a family."

Sonny laughed inconceivably "I have a marriage here. I have a child with Alexis and in case you haven't noticed she is pregnant with my child. I'm not willing to throw that all away to go to a life of chaos with you."

Carly shook her head, "Then prepare to suffer the consequences."

The No Name Grill

"I'm pregnant with twins." Kristina choked on her drink as her sister dropped the bombshell on her causally.

"That's wonderful Alexis."

Alexis smiled briefly and said "It's scary, terrifying and mind-boggling but I don't know if I would call it wonderful."

Kristina looked at her in question "Why isn't it wonderful?" Kristina watched, as her sister got lost in a trance looking at her wedding ring.

She stopped short of taking it off and looks back at her with a wistful look in her eye "Do you know when I married Sonny, I promised him the night of our wedding that I would never take the ring off. I said that I would always be by his side no matter what life threw at us. I just didn't know life would throw his dead wife back in my face."

Kristina took her sister's hand and squeezed it gently, "Sonny loves you and loathes Carly. No much to be worried about there."

Alexis smiled and said, "It's not Sonny's love I'm worried about. It's Carly. I'm a lawyer I know the law. She's the injured party in the eyes of any judge. I would be crazy to think I could fight and win. I will lose Sonny and I will lose my family when she says the word."

"Dad, I'm home. Are you here?"

Sonny looked up from the television as Michael came in the living room and smiled. "Of course, I'm here. What happened to going to work today?"

Michael shrugged his shoulders and sat down next to his father "I told them of my ongoing saga with my undead mother and they offered me the day off. Is Mom home yet?"

Sonny shook his head and flipped off the television and said, "I don't know why she didn't let me go with her."

Michael laughed and said "Dad, you know why. Mom loves you and she doesn't want you to have bad memories of that place. You shouldn't ever have to step foot in a jail again unless of course you're bailing out Aunt Courtney from her latest mess with Uncle Jax."

Sonny smiled softly and then dropped the bomb on him, "Carly told me that she's going to a judge to have my marriage to Alexis annulled."

Michael swore under his breath and stood up "So it's not enough she drags my pregnant mother down to the jailhouse, she now wants to make like the last couple of years didn't exist? What the hell is her problem Dad? What did you ever see in her?"

Sonny laughed at his own stupidity "I was impressed by her fighting for me. At one time that was something I valued more than anything. Not love, respect, or any of the good qualities that your mother taught me. Carly fought for me hard so in my mind, I figured she must've loved me. Now I just want the fighting to be over. I want Carly to leave us alone and our lives to go back to normal."

Michael smiled sadly and said, "That's just it dad. Life will never be the same again."

Chapter 11

"We're home!" Michael laughed as he watched his brother and sister come running in the house ready to dump their backpacks on the floor and go play.

"You know Dad will kill you if he comes downstairs and sees this."

Morgan and Kristina looked around in question, "Where is Dad? He didn't forget to make our snacks again did he?"

Michael looked at his brother and sister in exasperation "Of course Dad didn't forget your snacks. Don't you know that he starts making snacks for after school after you two leave in the morning? Dad just went upstairs to lie down. Mom just called me on her cell phone. She's running a little late, something about Aunt Kristina wanting to go shopping."

They both took this information well and started to run into the kitchen to see what their father had concocted for their snack. Morgan was trailing Kristina when he stopped and turned around "Mike, can we talk about something?"

Michael looked at his brother denoting the seriousness that overtook his features "Of course, we can talk. Always, you know that."

Morgan nodded and said, "What is she like? What is Carly like?"

Carly had spent the last three hours with her mother weaving for her a tale of intrigue, kidnapping, and a grand escape. She only hoped that the story didn't change too much or she over embellished any details. She had to make sure if she was questioned by anyone else that her story would remain the same.

Her cell phone rang startling her out of her reverie as she answered, "Carly here."

The speaker on the other end had good news for her. It had been a good idea to team up with Helena to ensure that she had backing. It delivered news that would make Sonny and Alexis sorry for trying to turn her children against her and steal her family.

Armed with three bags full of baby clothes, Alexis struggled to get into the front door. The door flung open as Sonny saw her struggling with the bags.

She graced him with a gentle smile "How was your day honey?"

He grabbed the bags out of her hands and shooed her inside. He sat the bags down inside and pulled her in his arms. She tried to pull back but he was too strong and he forced her head on his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his waist.

"Alexis, you are still carrying this. I've let you go on too long with this on your shoulders, let it go. This is not something that we can change or lament. It happened, she's alive we'll deal with it, together as a team. We will not shut each other out. I won't allow it. I don't do well without being able to share everything going through my head and my heart with my best friend."

Alexis inhaled the scent that was all Sonny's, her husband, as the last few days ran through her mind. After reviewing the past days events, she fell limp in his arms and he tightened his grip. "Sweetheart, I've got you. Its okay, let go. We will get through this, together."

Shutting his bedroom door, he turned to his brother in question. "What brings this up?"

Morgan sat on the edge of his brother's bed, "You are the only one who has a clear memory of her. You told me that life sometimes was hard. I just need to know if it's worth it to see her. I don't want to upset Mom or setup myself for heartache."

Michael sat next to his brother and said "Mom is the one who encouraged me to go see her. She wouldn't stop you or be upset if you decided to see Carly. I just can't see her, not after everything she's done."

Morgan growled in frustration, "You see that's it. I don't know whether to go to this woman with open arms or revulsion. I'm confused Mike, what role did she play in our lives? Did she ever love us or were we just a pawn to keep Dad with her? I have to know, whether I chose to have a relationship with her or not depends on the truth in your answer."

Sonny took Alexis's hand as they walked up the stairs. Alexis reached for the doorknob to their room and opened it slowly. She walked in the room and towards her dresser. She pulled her hair up and into a clip and reached for her red, silk robe on the hanger. She felt Sonny come up behind her and kiss the side of her neck and sighed in happiness.

She smiled and said "If I weren't so unbelievably fat right now, I'd make love to you right now."

Sonny laughed and said "Unbelievably fat? I think you are drop dead gorgeous carrying my child and I want nothing more than to make love to you right now."

Alexis shook her head in exasperation and walked into the restroom and Sonny followed her in. She turned around and almost ran into him and said, "Why are you following me around?"

Sonny leaned her against the back of the bathroom door and took her mouth in a breath-robbing kiss. Alexis broke away breathing heavily and Sonny picked her up in his arms. Alexis protested softly and said "I'm too heavy for you."

Sonny smiled and said, "You don't weigh anymore than you usually do. The only difference is that my child is nestled safely within you."

He walked with her in his arms out of the restroom and shut the door. Alexis insisted on him putting her on the floor and she leaned against their bedroom door and locked it behind them, pulled her against him and covered her mouth with his. Tongues met and entangled, hands were everywhere at once, touching, exploring, and removing clothing. When the need to remove the final barriers between them was finally overcome; he lifted her in his arms and carried her to their bed, laying her down gently on the bed. He kneeled, looking at her; as though she would disappear any second and he wanted to savor every moment he had with her. He lowered himself into her arms started to getting lost in the sensation of skin against skin. She loved the feel of his hot skin against hers. He kissed her face, her neck, covering her mouth with his. His hands moved to her breasts; fingers pinching her achingly hard nipples. She moaned into his mouth. The fire of what he was doing to her burned down her whole body and settled between her legs. She reached down wanting to touch him, eager to know what he felt like in her hands.

"How is Carly you ask? Well she can be self-centered. She can be rude but she loves us but not enough to put us above any man."

Morgan nodded and said, "I had a feeling it was something like that. I remember you telling me at one time you almost had like 5 dads right?"

Michael laughed shortly and said "It was rather sad actually but it was only 4, there was Tony who is Grandma's ex-husband, Jason who is now our Uncle Jason, AJ who I understand is really my father but has nothing to do with me and there was Sonny who I love like and consider my father."

Morgan shook his head and said, "That's crazy. Mom would never do that would she?"

Michael laughed at the thought and said, "Of course not. Our mother has too much class for that."

Morgan stood up and walked to the door "Thanks for this, I think I know what I have to do."

Sonny held Alexis in his arms still basking from their lovemaking. He had needed this reconnecting of souls almost as much as she had. The days and nights were long without her. Alexis snuggled towards him and sighed in contentment. Sonny felt a thrill course through him at the sound of her relaxation. He knew that stress wasn't good for her or the baby but lately it seemed like everything was slipping out of his control and he was losing his grip on reality and his marriage. Carly was intent on invading every aspect of his life, especially the ones that were sacred to him.

Alexis opened her eyes and said, "You can't sleep can you?"

Sonny laughed quietly and said, "Of course I can sleep, I'm just worried about you."

Alexis smiled and kissed him passionately on the lips, "I have a surprise for you, but you'll have to get my bag off of the floor. I believe in our haste we left certain things on the floor."

Sonny smiled as he watched the blush run over his wife's face as he slipped out of bed after putting on his boxers and headed to pick up her bag. Alexis took this time to acclimate herself in bed and pull the covers up over her breasts.

Sonny handed her the bag and said, "What is this surprise that you have for me?"

Alexis smiled and started digging in her bag and handed him an envelope. "In all the excitement, I didn't get a chance to give you this."

Sonny looked at the envelope questioningly, "What is this?"

Alexis laughed at his curiosity and said, "Would you just open it please?"

Sonny nodded and pulled out the item "It's a picture. A sonogram, is this our baby?"

Alexis leaned over to wipe the tears that were falling down his cheeks as she pointed out the miracle on the photograph "These are our children. We are having twins Sonny."
