Sonny and Alexis were sitting at the bar in silence. Sonny had a second glass of whiskey and Alexis was sipping on a glass of wine. "So…"Sonny prompted her.

"Ric and Sam are sleeping together," Alexis told him.

Sonny sat back in the chair and ran his fingers through his hair, "Ok- well that's different" Sonny finally said a moment later.

Alexis glared at him, "Yeah" she said.

"How do you know?" Sonny asked.

"I saw them kissing" Alexis said. She blinked back tears and put on her fake smile. "It shouldn't surprise me. I have been working long hours and Ric has made it clear he feels neglected so…"

Sonny shook his head, "My brother is an idiot," Sonny said. "I am sorry. What are you going to do?"

"For the sake of the girls I think I should try and make it work but…" Alexis trailed off. She couldn't hold back the tears anymore. "It made me sick seeing my husband with my daughter…like that"

"You don't know they slept together maybe they came to their senses." Sonny supplied rationally.

"It doesn't matter" Alexis replied. She looked up at Sonny. "It's over isn't it?"

Sonny shrugged, "You will have to talk to Ric"

Alexis looked at Sonny and felt a surge of affection towards the father of her child. Sonny was usually tough to talk- well, for her he was always tough to talk to. But now he was sitting here and letting her whine about Ric's infidelity. Would it kill Ric to be a little more supportive, Alexis thought, like Sonny?

Alexis looked down at her watch and realized she should go and spend some time with the girls. "Sonny I need to go and be with the girls for a little while. I promised I would" she stood up and then looked back at Sonny, "Care to join me? Kristina and Lila are your daughters after all."

Sonny looked around- probably for Carly and then he smiled. "That sounds great Alexis" he put some money down for their drinks and then walked with Alexis to the elevators.

"So" Alexis started once the doors closed. "Why are you again? To talk to Carly?"

Sonny nodded, "Jane has been pressuring Carly to come to Cairo and save Jax" Sonny explained, "I came to talk her out of that"

Alexis's heart sank- Sonny wanted Carly back. She had no idea why that bothered her so much but it did. "You want Carly back" Alexis rationalized.

Sonny chuckled, "Hell no" He smirked, "I love Carly always will but I am getting too old for that kind of relationship. I just can't take the drama anymore" Sonny paused, "No I don't want to be with Carly anymore. The only reason I care about Carly and Candy boy is that I don't want to see Carly hurt. She had a nervous breakdown last year and I don't want to see that happen again"

Alexis nodded her head and was very relieved that Sonny was over Carly. Why do I even care? Alexis thought

The elevator door opened and Alexis led Sonny to the room. When she opened the door Viola was sitting on a chair with Lila in her lap reading a story. Kristina was on the floor listening playing with her dolls.

"Daddy" Kristina said jumping up and running to Sonny. Lila clapped her hands and squealed.

"Hi girls" Sonny said walking in and picking Kristina up. He leaned over and kissed Lila on the forehead. "How are my girls?" he asked.

Alexis also kissed her daughter and granddaughter. Lila looked up at Alexis and smiled, "Mommy?"

Alexis felt a gun-wrenching pain at mention of Sam. "Mommy isn't here. You will see Mommy later"

Lila poked out her bottom lip and looked ready to cry.

"Ok" Sonny announced. "Time for ice cream"

The girls cheered but Alexis rolled her eyes. "Sonny, isn't it a little late for ice cream?"

Sonny shook his head, "Never too late for ice cream"

Alexis realized she was fighting a losing battle. "Ok- Ice Cream" she said loudly and the girls cheered again. Alexis picked Molly and told Viola she was free for a while. Until time to put the girls to bed. Kristina, Lila and Molly would be sleeping in Viola's room. Alexis was worried that when Ric came in that evening they would be fighting and she wanted to be sure the girls were no where near that tension.

Alexis carried Molly in her carrier and held Kristina's hand- Sonny picked Lila up and together they walked back down to the restaurant. Alexis looked over at Sonny and smiled. This is nice, she thought.
