it was worth a try. Comments, suggestions etc... You know the drill by now. :)
Chapter 40
Outside Alexis Hospital Room
Sonny ran out of the doctor's conference room and into his sister-in-law. Grabbing her by the shoulders, he ran with her to the waiting room where the rest of his family minus Michael waited. "The doctor just Okayed the wedding. But I have less than an hour to put it together and I need all of your help. Kristina, you are in charge of flowers, dress and hair. Kristina, go with your aunt to help her. Jason, I need you to be my best man and find me a priest stat. Zander, you are in charge of convincing my sons to go home and change into some tuxes or at least suits for the wedding. I still have the measurements for their suits or you can pull it out of their closets."
That said he breathed heavily and walked to Alexis's room. Everyone looked at him in shock, they had all been given their assignments and now Sonny was disappearing.
"Where do you think you are going," this question being barked at him from his youngest son, Morgan.
Sonny smiled softly and said, "I've got to convince a certain lady lawyer to remarry me."
Inside Alexis Hospital Room
"Mom, you do know that after everything I can't imagine my life without you right?"
Alexis smiled at her son and said, "I know what you mean son, as I can't imagine my life without your father or the 5 of you. Don't worry; I'm not going anywhere. I'm going to remarry your father, hopefully today and then give birth to these twins."
Michael smiled at her and leaned over to kiss her cheek so grateful to have her back in the family where she belonged. "Hey, that's my woman. Where's yours?"
Michael stepped back at his father's voice as he reviewed his face. He had been worried that his father would suffer a mental breakdown in the midst of not being with his mother but nothing seemed to touch him now that she was awake, he was full of happiness. "Dad, you know we share this woman. If she was just yours then we would have a problem."
Sonny put his arm on his son's shoulder and said, "You're right about that son, and we do share her."
Alexis rolled her eyes at both of them "That's enough sexism for now. Little woman, god who raised you two?"
Sonny smiled as Michael snapped back with a smile, "You did Mom so stop complaining."
Alexis grinned sheepishly and turned to Sonny and said "So you marrying me today or what?"
Zander ran into the nearest tuxedo shop he could find and started from scratch.
Tuxedo Shop
He ran up to the salesperson, "I need 5 tuxes for a wedding in an hour."
The salesperson looked at him in shock, "I've had weddings on the run, weddings on the sly but never weddings in an hour. I have to ask what happened this time to warrant such a rushed affair."
Zander sighed heavily, not wanting to waste time on explanations "The bride just woke up from a 2 month coma and is currently dilated to give birth to twins. His twins, but he just recently got divorced from his not so dead ex-wife. Now back to my issue, where can I find…" The salesperson's eyes rolled in the back of their head as they fainted.
Zander rolled his eyes as he looked at the passed out salesperson, "Morgan, get over here. I need your help."
Hospital Lobby
Jason had to threaten somebody to do a wedding on the sly. Who knew priests were so worried about being right with God, that they wouldn't do a wedding quickly without premarital counseling first? He ran back into the hospital in time to catch up with the 2 Kristina's who were hauling in clothes, curling irons and flowers.
Jason smiled at the pair and said "So did you guys find everything on your list?"
Kristina nodded enthused "I found everything and then some. There was a shaman priest at the place that I bought Alexis's dress so I told him to meet us here just in case you were unable to find a priest. Well did you? Find a priest that is?"
Jason rolled his eyes and barked with laughter, "Of course, I found a priest. I'm the best man. Why did you bring a shaman priest and more importantly you found Alexis's dress at the same place you found the shaman priest?"
Jason looked at his niece questioningly who shrugged her shoulders. Kristina walked into her sister's room and closed the door behind her, refusing to be goaded by Jason.
Jason pulled his niece over to the side "You let her go crazy like that? You know your mother won't have a shaman priest and much less a dress from the same place that she got the shaman priest! What is wrong with you?"
Kristina giggled and pulled out a bag from behind her shoulders "Okay, so I made a quick stop at Brides Mart© before coming here. I found the perfect dress for Mom. Don't worry Uncle Jason, I got this."
Inside Alexis Hospital Room
Zander and Morgan ran into the hospital room to see Alexis's bed empty. He turned shocked to Sonny, Jason, and Michael who sat there unaffected. "Where is Alexis? She didn't go into labor did she?"
Michael smiled and said "Mom is in the bathroom with both Kristina's, they are helping her get dressed for the wedding. Do you have our tuxes?"
Zander rolled his eyes and said, "If I were to tell you guys, what happened while I was trying to get these tuxes."
Sonny smiled as he looked upon his family and friends who had rushed quickly to his side to help him plan this impromptu wedding. He smiled feeling the love in his heart and said "Thanks to all of you for your help. Alexis and I appreciate it greatly."
Chapter 41
Inside Alexis Hospital Room
Alicia rushed into the hospital room, to see her boyfriend's father straightening his tux with the help of a man she wasn't familiar with.
"Alicia, I'm glad you could make it. Michael needs help with his tux. Can you help him?"
Alicia nodded smiling, "Thanks for calling me, Mr. Corinthos. I'm honored that you want me to be present at your remarriage." Smiling she ran out of the room and on the look for Michael.
Jason looked at her and said, "So, she's the one. She seems nice."
Sonny nodded as he buttoned his cufflinks "Yes she is nice. She's very nice. Alexis loves her for Michael."
Jason turned to Sonny and said, "How do I look?"
Sonny nodded and said, "Good man, let me get your tie."
Jason smiled in thanks "So… do I need to check her out?"
Inside Alexis Hospital Room (Bathroom)
Kristina rolled her sister into the bathroom in her wheelchair. Although the doctor had authorized her getting married, she was still under complete rest and that meant no walking.
She started in protest as soon as her sister pulled the dress out of the bag, "No Kristina. Now, I agreed to the shaman priest and I'm still not sure how Sonny is going to react to that one, you absolutely can't expect me to wear this... this thing!"
Kristina giggled at the discomfort of her mother as her aunt continued to speak "It's a Mediterranean birth dress but it also doubles as a wedding gown. The best part is it was on sale at the resale shop."
Kristina shook her head, she had too much fun at the expense of her aunt and it was time to pull her mother out of the line of fire. "Mom, we stopped at a Brides Mart© before we came here and I picked you up something. I know you wouldn't be too crazy that your dress came out of the same place as the shaman priest."
Kristina turned on her niece and said, "When did you have time to buy this? I didn't leave you alone for one moment."
Kristina grinned in glee, "When you asked the lady where the ceremonial head pieces were, I went to the Maternity section. The priest from the dress shop helped me look."
Alexis spun on Kristina in disbelief "You got that priest at the same place that you got my dress?"
Alexis shook her head and reached for the bag that her daughter had provided and peeked inside. She exhaled deeply and turned to her daughter, "Thank you Kristina, its perfect."
Outside Alexis Hospital Room
Michael walked back to the hospital room after getting dressed. He started to fidget with his tie when he noticed a familiar face. "Alicia, what are you doing here?"
Alicia smiled and reached for his tie to help, "As soon as your parents got the go ahead for the wedding, from the doctors your mother insisted that I be called. I could hear her in the background on your fathers' cell phone giving him instructions about to what to wear and how quick to get here. So here I am!"
Michael smiled and said, "Don't be jealous but I really love my mother."
Alicia grinned and placed a gentle kiss on his lips, "I wouldn't have it any other way."
Inside Alexis Hospital Room (Bathroom)
"You do look gorgeous Mom. Dad won't believe it." Kristina grinned at her aunt who was busy fidgeting with her mother's hair.
Alexis turned to her daughter and said, "So, tell me how you got the money to buy a dress? I thought your father and I agreed that you guys weren't to have credit cards until you were at least Michael's age."
Kristina smiled and rolled her eyes, "Mom, while you were in a coma, a lot of things have changed. Since Dad was spending all day at the hospital waiting for you to wake up, we needed a way to get money so he got all of us credit cards. And guess what's the best part, they have an unbelievably high limit."
Kristina snorted in laughter as she twirled a piece of her sister's hair onto the curling iron.
Alexis shook her head in disbelief "I see a lot of things have changed in my absence. As soon, as I marry your father and give birth to these twins… he's going to hear me."
Kristina giggled "Mom, don't you know how Dad hates it when you multitask?"
Inside Alexis Hospital Room
Dr. Goldblum knocked on the door to Alexis's hospital room and entered. He was in shock at the setup. The once tranquil hospital room had been turned into a mini-circus with flowers and priests and was that a shaman priest? He cleared his throat and searched the sea of faces that had crowded these hallways for the last couple of months all anxiously waiting for the arrival of the patient from her coma for his patient.
"So tell me, where is my patient?"
Sonny rolled his eyes as he looked at the doctor, no more did he feel fear or worry that he was going to lose his wife to this man. His wife had awakened from her 2-month coma with a couple of things on her mind, one being remarrying him. No one could touch his joy now, "Doctor, my wife is in the bathroom with my daughter and her sister. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Dr. Goldblum rolled his eyes in disgust at the man's smugness "I was just checking on her before this travesty of a wedding."
His daughter chose that moment to exit the bathroom and both men were stunned into silence. The father was in shock as he looked at his daughter, she was wearing an all-silk dress suit with an elegant neck and a silk tie in the center front. He had never felt prouder of his child then at the moment as he reflected on how much she looked like her mother. The doctor was in shock, for the resemblance of mother and daughter.
Then she turned to the doctor and said, "The bride is ready. Dr. Goldblum what are you doing here? Did you come to attend the wedding?"
