DREAMCH4

Gatehouse.

Ned and Alexis are sitting on the couch cuddling. Ned is finishing singing to Alexis.

Ned strummed the last notes on his gutair.

A knock on the door interupted their thoughts.

�I�ll get it.� Alexis said getting up.

�Here, let me help.� Ned said helping her up gingerly.

�Ned, I�m fine. I�m pregnant. I�m not on death row.� she said laughing.

�Humor me.� he replied. �Come on, let�s get the door.�
Alexis arrived at the door first and opened it to reveal two faces she hadn�t seen in nearly two years.

�V!!!� Alexis yelled grabbing her hand and pulling into a hug.
�Simon!� Alexis said kissing him on either cheek.

�Alexis who is it?� Ned asked from behind.

�Hey Boss.� V said peeking around Alexis.

�Hi V.� Ned said curiosly. �Simon.� he said nodding at Simon.

�What are you doing here?� he asked putting down the catalog he was looking at to hug V.

�We were done with our cruise so we decided to come back to Port Charles.� V said smiling.

�Well, we�re glad your staying.� Alexis said smiling.

�Us too.� Simon agreed.

�V, Simon you have missed a lot.� Alexis said sighing.

Suddenly, Alexis started to feel dizzy.

�Ned.� Alexis said in a worried voice holding out her hand to grab Ned�s.

�What?! I�m here. I�m here.� Ned said worried.

�I just feel a little dizzy.� Alexis said.

�Okay, it passed.� Alexis said breathing a sigh of relief.

�Maybe you should sit down for a while.� Ned suggested.

�Yeah.� Alexis agreed smiling.

Ned helped Alexis over to the couch where she gingerly lowered herself into the couch.

Simon and V looked on worried.

�Alexis, are you okay?� V said, a waver in her voice.

�What? Oh yeah, I�m fine.� She smiled at Ned and they exchanged a look.

Ned sat down next to Alexis and looked up at V and Simon.

�V, Alexis is pregnant.� Ned said smiling at them.

V gasped, putting both hands over her mouth and her eyes growing huge

�Oh my god Alexis. I�m so happy for you.� she said going over and hugging Alexis, who graciously accepted the hug.

�Thank you.� Alexis said.

�Congrats.� Simon said with an English accent.

�Thank you Simon.� Alexis said sweetly.

�So What have we missed?� Simon asked them.

Ned and Alexis looked at each other remeber exactly how much V and Simon had missed in two years.

�Wait a minute. I just remebered something.� V said suspiciously.

�Alexis, when I left you were married to Jax and Ned was married to Chloe and you both arn�t acting with friends. Whose baby is it?� she asked narrowing her eyes at them.

�Ned�s.� Alexis said.

�Our marriages were frauds, V.� Ned explained.

V and Simon both look perplexted.

~*~

Alexis and Ned have updated V and Simon on everything since they left in 1999.

�Wow.� V said after Ned and Alexis have finished their saga.

�Yeah. Whoa.� Simon agreed.

�V...� Alexis said eyeing something shinny on her finger.

Grabbing V�s hand and pulling it up to eye level she qustioned her.

�What is this?� she asked eyeing a plain silver band that she noticed matched the one on Simon�s hand.

�Did you two get hitched?� Ned asked laughing.

V blushed and started to whistle trying to avoid the subject.

�V.....� Alexis asked again.

�Okay, we surrender. We got married on the boat.� V confessed.

�Go ahead, V. Tell her the other good news.� Simon urged her.

�Simon. I thought we agreed to wait to tell people.� V hissed at her husband.

�Oh, come on V.� Alexis said uging her.

V looked at Simon, smiling. �I�m pregnant too.� she said with a twinkle in her eye.

Alexis let out a scream.

�We have to go shopping!� Alexis told her. �Isn�t this such a coinsidence?� she said to V.

V nodded in agreement.
