~ The Mere Thought ~ L&B Studios It�s been almost a week since Ned and Alexis talked about the prospective of having a child. The more Ned thought about it the more he realized the timing just wasn�t right. What with the wedding, this whole Eddie�s Angel stuff. Alexis scared that she might have been pregnant not knowing if she wants to be or not. �What am I an insensitive idiot or something? How the hell could I have even asked her to consider such a request?� Ned yelled to himself as he threw the papers in his hands across the room. �You know talking to yourself and throwing things isn�t a good sign.� Nikolas stated as he walked in the door. Ned turned and looked at him. �Good morning Nikolas.� Nikolas began picking up the papers. �I�d say a better morning for some of us then others.� Ned didn�t say a word as he sat on the couch, placing his hands over his face. Nikolas dropped the papers on the table in front of him. �I take it the fight was that bad?� �The fight?� Ned asked with a confused look upon his face Nikolas sat down next to him. �Yea the fight you apparently had with my Aunt.� �What on earth makes you think we�re fighting? Things between Alexis I haven�t been better.� �Ok then what�s with the remark you made as I came in?� Ned got up and walked over to the coffee machine. �Alexis and I just had a premature conversation and it really should have never taken place.� �And she�s upset with you about it?� �No, actually she hasn�t said a word about it in days.� �Then she�s probably forgotten about it.� Ned hands Nikolas a cup of coffee. �Oh trust me Nikolas I highly doubt she�s forgotten.� �Does it have something to do with the wedding?� �No more like our life after the wedding.� Ned stated as he walked into the backroom leaving behind a very confused Nikolas. ~*~ Alexis� Penthouse Alexis is sitting on her couch with her feet up on the coffee table holding a large pillow in her lap. Her eyes are shut and her breathing is slowing down but she isn�t fully asleep. Her eyes open slightly and a smile comes across her face as the door bell rings. Alexis throws the pillow to the side and slowly gets up making her way to the door. �Well if it isn�t my darling ex-wife looking more gorgeous then ever.� Alexis� eyes lit up even more brightly as she threw herself into Jax�s arms. �What on earth are you doing here?� She yells. �And where�s Chloe?� Jax took her hand and lead her over to the couch. �I�m back because I haven�t heard from Chloe in days and was starting to worry.� �What do you mean haven�t heard from her?� A paranoid Alexis asked. �I thought the two of you were together in Paris.� �We were but I had something I had to do and well let�s just say we parted ways.� �You broke up with Chloe?� �I can�t believe she hasn�t contacted you about it. I thought you�d be the first person she�d call.� �Why didn�t you bother to call me yourself, and clue me in?� �Personally because I didn�t want to listen to my ex-wife tell me what a big mistake I was making.� Alexis was about to say something when Jax grabbed her hand. �Forget about Chloe and me for a minute will ya and tell me what�s happening with you and that stick in the mud you love so much.� Alexis laughed slightly. �Well that stick in the mud and I have finally decided to do it.� �Like you haven�t done it enough.� Jax laughed out. Alexis smacked his shoulder. �Not that Jax, we�ve decided to get married.� �No way you and Ashton are actually going to tie the knot.� He gave her a big hug. �The next thing you�ll be telling me is the two of you plan on buying a house with a white picket fence, two dog's and a few children running around. Alexis broke the hug and uncomfortably got off the couch. �Don�t tell me Ashton bought you a house with a white picket fence?� Alexis just shook her head no. �He bought you a couple of dogs?� She just shook her head no again. Jax jumped up from the couch. �Oh my god you�re pregnant?� �NO!� Alexis screamed. �Okay then I�m lost. Why are you being so evasive?� �Ned and I talked about having a baby but that�s really as far as the conversation went.� �Let me guess you want one and he doesn�t.� �Actually is kinda like the other way around or at least it was.� �I�m sorry Alexis but your losing me here.� Alexis took a deep breath and leaned against the arm of the chair. �The only reason the aspect of having children came up....between Ned and myself ...... is because I. Well I thought there might be a small chance..... ok a big chance that I was ......� �Pregnant!� Jax yelled since she couldn�t bear to spit it out. �Yes!� �But you�re not.� �No I�m not and I didn�t realize how much not being so was going to effect me.� She paused for a second trying to catch her breath. �Or worse yet how it was going to effect Ned.� �I take it Ned liked the idea of the two of you having a baby.� �Not a first no. I mean at first he wasn�t sure how he felt but once we found out that I wasn�t, he wanted us to try and have one.� �And I take it by the look on your face that isn�t what you want.� �At first no, the mere thought of having a child, especially a half Quatermaine half Cassidine child frightened me.� �And now?� Jax asked as he walked closer to her. She looked up at him and smiled. �Jax just before you rang the doorbell I was sitting on the couch daydreaming about me Ned and this prefect little baby sitting in the sand laughing. We were the perfect family, with a perfect life and nothing could touch us.� �And you don�t think you can have that, do you?� �Jax when I�m with Ned and he�s holding me telling me how much he loves me and what a good person I am I believe it is possible.� �But when he isn�t around?� �I�m scared to death that I�ll never have anything close to what I see in my dreams.� |
